Yes, please tell me.

They split up.

That's a beautiful story.

Thank you, it's my life, so...

What is this?

It is a giant magical book

that takes you into

a slightly depressing

but hopefully amusing world.

You want me to read this?

Yeah.

Holy crap,

are these original drawings?

Let me know what you think,

okay?

Uh, yeah, okay.

See ya.

I have some notes.

What do you mean "notes?"

You need an ending.

Hey, how do you know

where I live?

What, dude! Come on, I'm 19.

I know everything

about everything.

So are you going to

let me in or what?

So, what's this guy

going to do?

Which guy?

This guy.

I don't... I don't know, what

do you think he should do?

Move on with his life?

I think he is trying to.

Is he? 'Cause he seems

kind of stuck.

Stuck in what?

It's the middle of the day and

you're still wearing your pajamas.

These are golf pants.

- They're so ugly.

- I'm working.

- Can I see?

- It's not really...

Now, these are

just things that I

painstakingly

drew out of anger.

You've got to let her go.

- Let who go?

- The person you keep drawing.

I don't... I don't know

what we're talking about now.

Yes, you do.

- So you don't like the book?

- No, I love the book.

But I especially like

this character.

A lot.

Yeah. Thank you.

I like that character as well.

Hmm.

You know, I showed it to her?

- Why would you do that? -I live with her.

It's a big book.

She has a few notes.

They're very good.

Maybe you should call her up

and talk to her.

- I'm not going to call her.

- Why not?

Because she told me

not to call her again.

Then call her anyway.

- But she had only one rule...

- Don't call her.

Who cares? Just call her.

Or like, don't call her.

Just do something... Anything!

Otherwise, what is the whole

point of this thing?

This place is gross.

Please don't touch

the flowers, sir.

Oh, no. I wasn't, I was just...

The flowers are for looking,

not touching.

Oh.

This is a private event.

Yeah, I'm invited.

- Bride or groom?

- I'm neither.

Are you here

for the bride or groom?

- Daddy!

- I'm with these guys.

- Hey.

- What are you doing here?

Mama didn't think

you were coming.

Do you know where Mama is?

I kind of need to talk to her.

Is everything okay?

Are we still going to have to

play the cello?

Hold that thought.

Oh.

Hey, uh... It's you.

Hey, Gary.

I didn't think you were coming.

I need to...

I need to tell you something.

Oh, boy. Yeah?

I, uh...

- I'm going to punch you.

- Oh?

No, I, uh... I understand.

I think you should.

I don't care what you think.

- Stop nodding.

- Right, sorry. Oh.

I just did it again. Um...

What should I...

What should I do?

You could either fight back,

or you could close your eyes.

I... I think I'm...

I choose closing my eyes.

I'm just... Please don't

hit me in the face.

I'll punch you wherever I like.

That's fair.

Stop agreeing with me.

Sorry. You're right.

Just whenever you're...

Jesus!

Ow! Ow!

- Are you... Are you okay, Gary?

- No, that was my ear, man!

- I know, well, you said not the

face so I didn't know. -Goddamn it!

The ear is the face!

I don't think of the ear

as the part of the face.

The ear is part of the face.

I don't think of it

as part of the face.

Well, that's not true.

That's definitely not true.

The ear is part of the face.

I think the face

is this oval here.

That's what I teach

in drawing class.

Okay, I... I don't think so.

That's not the way

I was taught, but...

Shall we agree to disagree?

Sure. Agree to disagree.

That was a...

That was a good hit, man.

Thank you.

My hand really hurts

from your ears,

so if that's any consolation.

Well...

Do you know where she is?

Nobody... Nobody can find her,

she's not answering her phone.

Are you serious?

Why would I kid about that?

Well, I don't know,

I don't know you.

I don't know

your sense of humor.

I'm not kidding.

Hey, I love her, you know?

Yeah.

I know now.

- You came.

- I came.

Your pants are too short.

Yeah, I just got them.

You look good.

There are people

looking for you.

And only you know

where to find me.

It kind of helped that you

texted me where you were.

What are you doing?

I'm afraid

I'm making another mistake.

I don't think of what we did

as a mistake.

It didn't work out.

It did...

And then it didn't.

What does that mean?

It means...

We can't predict

what's going to happen.

Or how we're going to change.

I love you.

I love you, too.

But if you wait any longer, you're

going to miss your wedding.

Are we friends?

We're more than that.

What are we?

We're parents.

- Okay, you first.

- No.
