Paper Heart Page #6
down there
in one of the family law courts
in Houston, in Harris County,
and she was practicing law
in that court.
And I thought that I would
really like to go out with her,
not to mess up
our professional relationship.
And I hinted to her boss
that I would like to do so,
and I think she put pressure on Sally
to do that,
to go out with me.
- True?
- Yes, she did.
She threatened to fire me
if I didn't go out with him.
And I did not want
to go out with him at all.
I had another boyfriend at the time.
I was not interested
in dating, but...
The other boyfriend
never talked, though.
Well, that is true.
But in order to keep my job,
yes, I did go out with him.
And I had a fairly decent time.
that I wanted to go out with him again
was a little later.
Maybe a week or two later
after our date
it was a downpour in Houston.
And I was at the courthouse.
I was wearing
a pair of Gucci loafers
that I had just purchased
the weekend before.
And I spent more money
than I had ever spent
in my life on a pair of shoes.
I think they might have been $154.
I was just devastated
because I had parked
several blocks away from the courthouse
and I had to leave
and it was pouring down rain.
And as I left his court,
something like,
"Well, I sure don't want to ruin
my new shoes,
but I guess
it's pouring down rain."
And it was just a gullywasher.
And I remember Don saying,
I'll take care of it."
He goes,
"You just wait right here."
And he said, "I'll be right back."
He went and got in his car,
which was a Jeep,
and he drove it up
onto the plaza
in front of the family law courts
building in Houston
And so he opened the door
and said, "Hop in."
And I just walked dry,
under the porch,
got in his Jeep and we drove off.
And he took me to my car.
And I thought, "Now that's cool.
on downtown Houston
up onto the plaza
of the family law courts building?"
And I thought, "You know what?
I think I'd better stick with him."
Then I had to move to Amarillo
because I lost my job over that.
No, he did not.
That is not true.
We moved to Amarillo
because we wanted to.
True enough.
You want me to make you dinner,
Charlyne?
Really?
Yeah.
Do you have any food?
I know how to make a few things.
What do you feel like?
Um, I don't know.
That's enough. Thank you.
- We can go grocery shopping together.
- Okay.
- Want to go right now?
- Okay.
- Let's not make any plans.
- Be spontaneous.
- Yeah.
- Real wild.
Let's finish this real quick.
I feel awful now.
You didn't have to do that.
- Do you want to go right now?
- Yeah.
- Are they gonna come?
- Um...
- It might be a little embarrassing.
- We'll catch up.
- You want to come?
- Yeah.
Sorry.
It's okay.
We'll be quick.
- You guys want to catch up?
- Just go.
Okay.
- What do you want to get?
- I don't know.
Maybe when we look around
it will give us some ideas.
Yeah.
I don't know what to make you
since you don't eat meat.
We can make grilled cheese,
quesadillas.
This is all dog food.
Not true... puppy.
Puppy food, dog food
and nylon stockings.
Yeah, we're not gonna find
our dinner in this aisle.
I think I'm so hungry
that I don't know what I feel like.
- Same here.
We've been here
a half-hour now
I'm not even
hungry anymore.
We should be
eating by now.
Let's look in the frozen food section.
That might be our best bet.
There... cheese.
"Crisp Crust."
Party pizza?
We can order a pizza
faster than that.
Hey, Charlyne.
How's it going?
How are you doing?
Did you enjoy
the pizza
that we got?
Should we kiss?
Okay.
Seems appropriate.
- What are you laughing at?
- Nothing.
- Why are you laughing?
- I'm just laughing.
It's out of the way now.
Now what should we do?
Ooh, this is pretty fun, man.
Yeah.
Uh, I was wondering...
if we always have to shoot
me and Michael.
We haven't had any privacy,
you know, since the moment we've met.
Everything's under
a magnifying glass...
me, you and all of them.
Charlyne, I mean, we did
agree to do this.
We said we were gonna make
a documentary
and we were gonna film everything,
and that's where the story's going now.
Yeah.
Let's say you and Mike went on a date
and we decided not to film you
and you guys had an amazing night
and it was the first time you ever
told each other you loved each other
- and we didn't get it.
- Don't worry, that's not gonna happen.
Okay, but just like the principle of it...
we need to.
I know Mike does.
But I honestly don't know
what else to do.
We're making a movie.
Yeah.
If we're shooting everything,
how come we're not shooting
me, you know, sleeping?
We'll shoot you sleeping.
We'll do a night of it. Could be fun.
- Serious?
- Seriously.
Awesome.
- We got a deal, Chuck Yi.
- My life just got a lot more interesting.
I do two general readings
and I'll tell you what's going on with you
and kind of where you're headed.
Okay.
Okay, here we go.
Okay, emotion, breakup...
love, difficulty.
Separation from someone you love.
And to me this is romantic.
Highs and lows, so good and bad.
So it's almost like your life
is a rollercoaster.
Okay, are you seeing
somebody right now?
Yeah.
Okay, all I need is just
his first name.
- Michael.
- Michael, okay.
Okay, Mike.
Romantic... definitely romantic,
absolutely.
He's got a big heart.
He's very sensitive.
A nice guy.
I get a really good energy for him.
Well, he does love you,
that's for sure, so I do get that.
But he's kind of interested in you
for money reasons, okay?
'Cause of all the money
that comes up here.
But I have no money.
I keep getting financial,
so business,
financial, career.
You have a key to him
building his career, okay?
But he is more successful than me.
That's what I'm telling you.
I'm saying, what does he think of you?
He does love you,
he does care for you,
but there's still some
business connection,
or that he can succeed
or you can succeed
or he can help you.
That's fine.
I'm gonna just leave that out there.
You know what?
It's a good chemistry,
it really is, between you and him,
but it's not gonna work.
I have to tell you that.
Do you know why?
Oh, that's a good question.
Let me see why.
It will end, but, okay,
let me see.
Okay.
It's just you're each gonna
go down your own roads.
You will outgrow each other
and have different philosophies
and go down different roads
eventually.
You're meant to be together now
and it's great.
It works now, so good.
Okay? Anything else?
Do you think it was real?
No. And I apologize
for saying
I wanted you to go
to a con artist.
a lot more fun and funny
and I think seeing
