Jessie,

I knew you'd change your....

And if you can get home tonight,

you're mother has promised

to make enchiladas.

It's a four hour flight.

And worth it.

I don't think so.

I'm telling her you said that.

Daddy, I have a job.

I'm pretty sure they have those

out here, lots of them.

But there's one great thing here

that you can't get out there.

Oh, Dad, that's not fair.

There are plenty of other good reasons.

I know you miss me,

but I'm not ready to come home.

Then what's keeping you out there?

Things with Trent are over.

Are you waiting for someone else?

No you're right.

Good.

I've waited long enough.

Yes. That's right.

I deserve to be with someone

who's willing to do anything

to be with me.

I'm going to go find him.

Yeah... uh, now?

I'm going to go find him.

Yeah... uh, now?

This is crazy, I don't

even know if he still likes me,

- But you're right.

- What just happened?

Thank you daddy.

No! No!

Stop having epiphanies...

Hey, I'm just going to go to

the store before the lunch rush, ok.

Ok, love you.

Can I help you find something?

Yes, is George here,

I need to speak with him.

He's not.

I could make you something.

No I just need to talk to him,

will he be back soon?

Ok, look I'm sure the two of you

had a nice chat,

and that he made a sandwich

special just for you.

But sweetheart, he's married, so...

No, It's not like that,

I'm looking for this guy.

Oh, I don't think he wants

to see anyone right now.

I can give you

the address for his fan mail.

I can't send a letter, I need

to seem him now, it's urgent.

Yeah, uh hum, ok whatever

crazy emergency you have,

he's not interested.

But he's in love with me.

Wow, ok.

Let me get him on the phone for you.

Thank you.

Hi, Police. I need you to send

someone over to George's Deli.

We've got a live one here.

Sorry.

She ran and ran, until she was sure

she couldn't hear the footfalls

of the Geral Clerics anymore.

At last she came to rest

with her chest heaving

up and down from the exertion.

Her legs quivered under her as she...

Oh that's great, can you wait

until I'm done

to talk about quivering legs?

It's all I can do

to keep from cutting my veins.

Your story makes me

want to slit my wrists.

I know it's bad to say,

but this is really good.

I'm not looking,

I'm just bringing Band-Aids

and antibiotic cream.

Please woman,

you've had to bath me before.

Yeah, and I almost went blind.

Laugh it up Steinbeck,

I'm taking this into the bathroom,

and finishing the job there.

Goodness.

You're going to need sweat pants

so your legs don't get cold.

Ok, well...

maybe later.

Hey.

About last night.

I need to pray.

Stop Marc.

You're safe, I'm not going to jump you,

so you can put your holy shields down.

I didn't mean to come on so strong.

You were just being so sweet,

and I need a little romance in my life.

I'm actually flattered,

and I'm glad that you like my book.

Just, I wasn't ready to get jumped.

Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

Don't be.

In fact, I used our encounter

in my new story.

Really?

Yeah

It's pretty hot.

Well, I better go get that,

you know Gary will traumatize them.

Oh, thank goodness.

Hi.

Is Gary here?

Uh... yes,

but you really don't want

to see him right now.

Mary, my legs feel funny in these pants.

Coming.

I should go.

Wait, sorry,

I just... have you seen Marc?

I don't like this.

Mary, get the glue.

Ok, hold your horses.

Sorry.

Haha.

And the slices are the size

of a traffic cone.

What did I ever do with out you?

Oh, suffer I guess.

Haha.

Thanks Elenore.

Yeah, I can probably get you

a second draft by Friday.

Only this time, can we get

somebody else to do the cover?

No It's fine,

I just... look, just forget it.

Ok, bye.

George I've got a big writing session

ahead of me,

and I need something

that will keep me sharp,

but satisfy my hunger.

You got it.

Hey by the way, you owe me big time.

I told you, a special thanks

at the beginning of the book

is all you're going to get.

No, a crazy fan came in the

other day and I scared her off.

She told me you were in love with her.

Was she cute?

I don't know.

I was blinded by her craziness.

Julia, she could have been

my 10 second girl

from the stalker personals.

You'd never find somebody

that crazy in here. Look,

"We sat in traffic school together,

but I never got the

courage to ask your name.

I hope to meet you there again,

you make my heart

go 100 miles per hour."

Ok. How about this one?

"I saw you from afar,

and thought we had something special,

blah, blah, generic blah."

Skipping that one.

"I was your Odysseus for a night,

but I was waiting for the wrong guy."

"Now I'm waiting for you

to compete my story."

What does that mean?

Hey, are you weird?

Like is there something wrong with you?

Because I'd like to know now

before we continue.

Yeah, I am kinda weird.

You know, sometimes I pick up

random girls on the street.

Yikes, sounds dangerous.

And apparently, I'm bad

with small details like names.

Hum... kind of a deal breaker.

Look do you want me or not?

Hell Yes!

I'm Jessie.

Hello, Jessie.

Hi.

So where are you taking me?

Me, taking you?

I thought we had this discussion.

Oh no, this time you did the asking.

I most certainly did not.

I have a newspaper to prove it.

That wasn't asking you out.

Then what was it?

Charity.

I felt bad for you.

Are you always

going to be this stubborn?

Would you want it any other way?
