Now You Know Page #10

---

- Her friends vodka and tonic

came over to soothe her.

- [Laughs]

I had to get out of there before the word

"whore" came out of her mouth.

I'd hate to throw her down a flight of stairs.

She's practically a grandmother

after all.

- You know, that's the first thing

she said when I told her.

- Hmm?

"I'm too young to be a grandmother."

Not, "How are you?

Do you need anything? You okay?"

"I'm too young to be a grandmother."

Nice. Well, you know, if you ever need to,

you can always stay here.

My parents would love that.

Cliff would love that.

[Chuckles]

I can't live here, Kerri.

In six months, I won't be able to lift

the mattress. How would I get my underwear?

[Chuckles]

Good night, Marty.

Good night, Kerri.

- Move!

- [Jeremy] What the hell's going on?

Good morning, ladies.

I got the keys.

- Where were they?

- They were right on the edge of the guy's pool.

One more inch and I would have

spent the morning swimming.

- Is he all right?

- Biscuit?

- [Biscuit] What?

- He's fine.

So, you guys want breakfast?

Yeah, we gotta make one stop first.

Jeremy, what are you doing here?

You know what this is?

- A ratty old hat?

- No.

This.

- A hole in a ratty old hat?

- No. It's a sign from God. Look at my ear.

- Is it bleeding?

- A little. Jeremy, what's going on?

I almost died last night.

I got shot. Well, almost.

- It went right through my hat.

- What are you talking about?

- Who tried to shoot at you?

- I bet it was those guys.

- It wasn't them. It was just some guy.

- Jeremy, this is not funny.

Kerri, I need to talk to you.

Could we please talk?

Come on.

[Groans]

Fine. I'll wait out here.

I can't believe this.

Kerri, I need to know

what's going on.

With what?

All right. Don't be flippant, okay?

I need to know what's going on with us.

I need to know...

to know what happened.

When we called off the wedding...

and you moved out,

what did you think was happening?

I don't know.

I thought...

I thought you were having

cold feet or something.

I thought you needed

some time away from me.

Did you think you were having

cold feet?

Did you think you needed

time away from me?

No.

I'm just... I'm trying

to figure something out here.

I'm trying to figure out

why you never said anything...

why you never tried to stop it.

It was like you were relieved.

I wasn't relieved. I just didn't

know what the hell was going on.

We never even fought before.

I mean, not seriously.

What do you think made me do it?

I don't know. Maybe you were

seeing someone else.

Oh, come on, Jeremy. I didn't even

talk to other guys when I was with you.

Maybe it wasn't a guy.

What the f***

is that supposed to mean?

You ever heard of

the Three Dollar Bill?

Oh, my God.

Jeremy, it's not what you think.

- So you were there last night?

- Yeah, yeah.

I was there last night, but...

we just... we wanted to go somewhere

where we wouldn't be hassled by guys.

That's it. What,

do you think I'm gay?

What am I supposed to think?

I got transvestites telling me...

they ran into you at a bar... a gay bar...

and with Marty who's there all the time...

and now she's sleeping over at your house,

and correct me if I'm wrong, but you guys

are sharing pajamas now.

What the hell am I supposed to think?

If you actually think that I left you

because I'm gay...

you've got some f***ing problems.

[Sighs]

I left because

you took me for granted.

I left because

you didn't appreciate me.

Because I was sick of feeling

bad about myself because of you.

You think that's pretty ridiculous,

don't you?

So did I at first.

And when we were sitting on the couch and

I asked you if you wanted to call off the wedding...

I thought I was being

pretty ridiculous too.

But imagine my surprise

when you answered back...

"Why? Is that what you want?"

Those are the words of a guy

who couldn't give a sh*t.

And you further proved that

and blew me away...

when you moved out

without a care in the world.

You keep saying that

I'm the one that broke off the wedding.

We both know that's not true.

I'm just the first one

who said it out loud.

- Well, it's just, uh...

- Just say it, Jeremy.

You can't hurt me anymore.

I was just scared.

Scared of what?

Scared of marrying you.

Scared of being married.

We've been together a long time, Kerri,

since we were kids.

We've missed out on a lot.

When I get married,

I'm only gonna do it once.

It's forever. I don't want you or me

five or 10 years from now...

to wonder if there was

something better out there.

I never wondered, Jeremy.

Neither did I. I just thought that maybe

we weren't ready to get married

and you felt it too.

I thought after we called off the wedding,

everything would go back to the way it was.

Oh. So we were just supposed to

pretend that nothing happened?

So, I get it. You're not cold and callous.

You're just stupid.

I never intended to lose you, Kerri.

You've gotta believe that.

Do you have... Do you have any idea

what you put me through?

Why couldn't you just

share your big idea with me?

Instead, you acted indifferent

through the whole thing...

and made me feel like

I was living in some f***ing dream world.

I'm so sorry, Ker.

I'm so sorry.

Please, give me another chance.

I've given you chances, Jeremy.

And if you're asking me

for another one...

the answer's "no."

Because you lost me

long before you called off the wedding.

- What are you talking about?

- [Sighs]

When was the last time

you bought me flowers...

or... or sent me a love note

or said "I love you" before I did?

Jesus, just because I didn't do those things

doesn't mean I don't love you.

- You know I love you.

- I know, Jeremy.

But just because you send someone

flowers or a little note...

doesn't mean you love them.

But it's those things combined

with everything else that reassures a person.

I just needed to be reassured.

Kerri, my God, if I knew I would lose you

by not doing those things...

I would buy you flowers every day.

I will do whatever it takes

to show you I love you...

not just today or tomorrow,

but every day.

I would marry you right now if I even thought

for a second you would have me.

I swear I would. And I don't expect you

to take me back, but...

please let me try

and prove myself to you.

Kerri, I love you.

[Door Opens]

Uh, Kerri, could you come outside?

Marty's beating the crap out of Biscuit.

What?

- [Jeremy] What happened?

- Biscuit told Marty he wanted to become

her and Kerri's manager...

and watch 'em go at it,

and she flipped out.

- [Kerri] Manager?

- [Jeremy] Huh?

- Come on, Marty.

- [Marty Grunting]

Come on, sweetheart. Let's go.

One more. One more.

- All right, enough.

- [Kerri] Marty, the baby!

- Don't call me a baby!

- Not you, a**hole! She's pregnant!

- Kerri!

- Ooh, is it mine?

- Shut the f*** up, Biscuit!

- Ow!

It's mine, isn't it?

Not exactly the way

I wanted you to find out.

You slept with Marty?
