Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List Page #7

Synopsis: Incoming NYU freshmen and childhood neighbors Naomi and Ely have been in love with each other their whole lives, even though Ely isn't exactly into girls. The institution of a "No Kiss List" has prevented the two from rifts in the past, but their bond is tested when they both fall for the same guy. The once-inseparable pair must figure out if their friendship is strong enough to get past such an epic predicament as they struggle with the realities of growing up.

- I'm beyond excited.

- Okay.

Is there a princess living here?

Soon, in a few seconds.

- Aw!

- Okay! All right!

- That was too good.

- Stop.

Like, look at the view.

Look at that.

It's gorgeous.

Let's go over here.

- Where?

- Right over here.

A gazebo!

Oh.

Gabriel:
So I think we should

find somewhere really

Sort of secret but just off,

you know,

Somewhere kind of hidden away.

Yeah?

Why, you wanna make out?

Ew, gross.

Why would I wanna do that?

No way.

Oh, no, this isn't looking good.

No, it's really good.

- Lies!

- It's not lies.

You hate it!

You're washing it down.

I'm not washing it.

You know, princesses

don't know how to cook anyway.

My love,

love is beginning...

Do you remember how

my first night on the job

Was your graduation day?

I do.

I watched you and ely

cuddle up on the lobby sofa

In your gowns until dawn.

Yeah, that seems

like a long time ago.

That first night...

Felt like the first day...

Of the end of my life.

But that sight

of your dimpled smile,

That laugh...

Oh, god.

...Gave me the smallest

glimmer of hope.

And that was all I needed.

Love is beginning now

oh, oh, oh

love is beginning now

oh, oh, oh

love is beginning now

oh, oh, oh

love is beginning now

There he is.

I, uh...

I think I came out to my mother.

Oh, Bruce.

What happened?

I don't know,

we were having breakfast,

And she asked me what was

going on with that Naomi girl.

I said, it was kind of over,

And, god, I could have

just left it at that.

Only I didn't wanna lie.

So I said, I've been

spending a lot of time

With this guy ely.

And then I added,

"he's my kind of boyfriend."

What did she say?

She said, um,

"does this mean you're gay?"

And I said, "no.

It just means

I'm not straight."

And then the morning

just continued.

She didn't say "I love you."

And she didn't say

"I hate you."

Is that your, uh...

is that your documentary?

Um, yeah.

I lied to ely when I told him

I forgive his mom

For what happened

between our parents.

But I'm happy for him that

they're working things out.

Even though mine aren't.

I don't think it was dad

choosing a lesbian over mom

That most damaged her sense

of her...

Own... Femininity.

I think it was...

Losing her marriage to a woman

she called friend.

Next question.

I am such an a**hole.

Today, we will be

exploring the theory

Of the unfulfillable

female desire for a phallus

As envisioned by Freud.

Is there something funny

you'd like to share

With the entire class?

I'm sorry.

The theory of the unfulfillable

female desire for a phallus...

I've been broken up

with ely for 36 days,

Nine hours, and seven minutes.

I'm actually okay.

But still sometimes...

All the time...

I miss him.

Look, I know that

I think that culottes are neat

And that I say "neat."

Remind me again why you and ely

are still fighting.

Are you gonna hold onto

this forever?

Naomi:
How could I be in college

and be so dumb?

I've been holding on

to the Naomi and ely fantasy,

But that's just it.

It was a fantasy.

Ely was just being who he is.

And I love who ely is.

Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up!

Naomi, what the...

what the...

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

He's not coming back!

I know.

I know.

I can't keep avoiding my former

best friend across the hall.

And you can't keep clinging on

to the memories of dad.

At some point...

We have to let go.

I was afraid of that.

Me too.

Naomi:
There's no way for me

to know if he can find me here.

I didn't call.

I didn't text.

I left it up

to that old connection,

That old friendship sense.

That and I left the red

glitter belt on his front door.

You found me.

Hi.

You think, uh, we still add up?

I think that we should

get married right here.

Ely?

We're never getting married.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

For everything.

So...

Bruce, huh?

Yeah.

Wouldn't it figure

that the first time

That you're in love and in

a monogamous relationship,

It would be with my boyfriend.

You know, it was Gabriel

who made me the mix tape.

He makes me these amazing mixes

And I'm so supposed to find

the hidden meaning

And make him one back.

Which I'm not very good at.

Yeah.

Are we okay?

Yeah, we're okay.

We're where we need to be.

I really love you.

Meeya more.

- It's a playlist.

- Flash drive?

Um, I have really bad taste

in music.

Like me anyway?

'Cause I really think

I could like you, too.

All right, well, let's see here.

Bon Jovi...

And Britney spears.

I tried to warn you.

Oh, boy.

I'm coming for you.

Man:
is to hold on

when you get love

and let go when you give it

give it

Whoo, how's it going, buddy?

- What's with you?

- Just aced my sats.

So you might want to take these.

Start studying now.

That's my suggestion.

Hey, jealous

about Naomi and Gabriel?

Nope!

I do not care.

Oh, you're jealous.

He's jealous.

t might help you

through the nighttime

but it doesn't

make it easy...

to leave the party

at the right time

if I'm frightened,

if I'm high

What you up to?

I'm watching a movie

on my computer.

Which one?

"Breakfast at Tiffany's."

Come on.

You know

I'm crazy about Tiffany's.

Get in here.

Naomi:
It's bullshit

to think of friendship

And romance as being different.

They're not.

They're just variations

of the same love,

Variations of the same desire

to be close.

And like any love,

it's difficult, awesome,

Treacherous, exhilarating,

Confusing,

and... Precious.

So what are you up to later?

Dinner with Bruce.

It's our four-month

anniversary.

That's...

that's new for me.

What about you?

Gabriel scored a sweet new gig

at Webster hall.

Yeah, guess that makes me

a groupie.

Want any hard advice?

I think I like figuring

this one out...

On my own.

So how's art class, hmm?

Tell me.

It's going pretty be good.

Yeah? I mean...

Naomi:
It's a total lie

to say there's only one

Special person

you're gonna be with

For the rest of your life.

If you're lucky...

And if you try really hard...

There will always be

more than one.

from the dark

with you above me

take the weakest thing

in you

and then beat

the bastards with it

and always hold on

when you get love

so you can let go

when you give it

give it give it, give it

give it, give it, give it

Man and woman:

lions and tigers and bears, oh, my

there's no fear

when I look in your eyes

'cause that's the way we are

that's the way we are

pigeons and chickens

and squirrels that fly

clouds that look like

bolts in the sky

oh, everywhere we are

everywhere we are

Man:

we could go to the moon

Woman:

in a hot-air balloon

Man:

we could go to my room

Woman:

we can go real soon

Man:

we could go where it snows

Both:
we could shave our heads

and go to new Mexico

mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

Woman:

I've got rain

on my shoes

I am broken

I am bruised

I can't see

where I am

I'm so tired

I can't stand

but I

I:

I believe

give or take

I don't care

catch a break

or a tear

throw me out
