tomorrow.

I don't want you falling asleep

out here again. Come on.

Why don't you stay here and talk

to me.

We can talk in bed.

I don't want to talk in bed.

So. What's going on?

Um

I thought you wanted to talk.

I'm going to the bedroom.

I'm not happy Vandy.

Yeah about like work and stuff?

Everything

Oh, can I help?

I don't know. I haven't been

too happy here either.

I don't know if I want to do

this anymore.

Nobody does this for no reason.

Was there somebody else?

No! That's not, you're not,

that's - no - that's not what

this is about.

Okay, sometimes I think it just

comes down to whether or not two

people should be together.

You don't think that we should

be together?

I don't know. I don't know

Vandy.

I mean the way we are now, no.

I don't want to be with you like

this.

Can you give me a reason?

I thought about this recently.

I've been around a lot of new

people through work and it's

like I'm

all these things are coming out

of me all this stuff um,

it's me, it's everything that

reminds me of who I am, me,

and I haven't felt like that in

a long time. I'm not that

person with you.

I think I used to be like that

with you but you've been trying

to kill it ever since.

It's like you're trying to kill

me.

I'm not trying to kill you

Peter.

Not literally it's just me, who

I am.

Ever since the day we met it's

like, I mean that's exactly what

it feels like to me.

And it's not just you I mean I'm

sure I do it too but I need to

be able to feel me.

I feel like I've been asleep.

A couple weeks ago remember that

you were acting really nice to

me and genuinely

and I felt uncomfortable.

Like I was outside of my comfort

zone with you being loving

towards me.

It made me feel horrible.

I didn't want it to be like

this.

I didn't want it to be like this

either.

Don't ever leave me.

Don't ever leave me.

I'm not going to leave you.

Peter.

Yeah?

Is there someone else?

Is there someone else?

It wasn't anything

Oh my god!

Vandy

Oh my god!

No, no. Listen it was nothing.

Don't you, don't you f***ing

touch me!

Vandy, calm down

Holy sh*t

Listen to me. The problems that

we have are between us.

Nothing happened!

Sh*t I knew it.

Don't do this okay we got so far

last night because I didn't

bring it up.

Let's just talk about it.

Get the f*** out oh my god get

out of here.

Like we talked about it last

night!

No, no, no, no. Just get out of

here get the f*** out.

Please don't do this.

Back up! Get Get out!

Alright.

Okay here's a question for you.

The crossword puzzle. You said

you finished it.

I did.

What day of the week was it?

It was a Saturday.

Oh that's the toughest one,

right?

Yeah. My mom always does

crossword puzzles so I've been

doing them forever.

I am impressed.

Yeah no, yeah it's a really

productive way of spending your

time.

Do you do crossword puzzles or.

No, that's good, so we don't

have to fight over them.

So I hope you didn't have to

change your schedule around too

much to uh.

To what?

For dinner.

A little bit.

Yeah. I just meant uh, nothing

really.

You mean did I tell the guy I'm

seeing?

No, well no that's not what I.

That's not what I was expecting

you to say.

I guess I was saying more like

did you have a date that you had

to break off with him or.

I really was trying not to talk

about this more than anything,

and here I am just talking about

it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

No it's okay.

Sorry but you said you changed

your plans a little bit, though

Do you want to be talking about

it or.

I guess I do..?

Um, well I was supposed to meet

up with him later but instead I

broke up with him.

Oh, wow. Are you regretting

that yet?

Yeah. No. I wasn't thrilled

with the way things were going

with him anyway.

No, well, of course - I'm sorry

I wasn't implying that you did

it because of me.

That's okay. And it really

wasn't that nasty a break up.

So if this date goes really

badly

I think I still have a shot of

getting back together with him.

Good one.

Thanks.

Sorry I brought all this up.

It's stupid I'm sorry.

No why do you always..

What?

It's nothing.

No tell me please.

Well you apologize a lot.

Do I?

Little bit.

Sorry about that. I'm kidding.

No I know what you mean.

I'm not saying it like it's a

problem.

No it's fine trust me it's

something that I'm aware of.

I feel like a jerkoff when I do

it.

No that's not what I meant.

No. It's fine. I mean it. You

know what I think it is

actually?

Tell me what you think because

I'm not, I'm not too sure myself

but,

no I think I apologize a lot

when I'm.

Not really sorry?

That too. Yeah.

I no, I wasn't trying to turn

this into a nitpick session.

I don't know Jesus even on our

first date.

No please are you kidding me?

This is exactly what I'm this is

the kind of stuff I would always

want you to tell me if we were,

um, no I'm glad you said it.

Seriously.

Like I said I like to knock it

off so.

Not a problem, honestly, bring

it on!

I am really glad I'm here with

you.

So am I.

No.

Nuhuh.

I insist.

I have it. Give me a break.

You got me a present.

The crossword puzzle?

Yeah.

You do realize that the New York

Times is $1?

Yeah but you had to get two.

Oh. You're right.

It was a $2 gift.

Would it make you feel better if

you left the tip?

Fine.

Okay. You take care of the tip.

You're terrific.

What do you think it was about?

Paul is a very good tipper.

No seriously.

Vandy, they've always been like

that from day one.

They can't stay together like

that.

All Paul wanted to do was tip

the guy.

Yeah you're not really supposed

to tip at these things. She's

right actually.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

You're an idiot.

You're an idiot.

What's it like being the less

intelligent person in the

relationship?

Good one.

Seriously.

F*** off.

Maybe you and Keith should form

a support group.

You know I am starving. Do you

mind if we just go home

and you can make me a nice

peanut butter and jelly

sandwich.

No because I just ran the

dishwasher so there should be

enough silverware for you.

Would you like to dance with me?

Have they always been like that?

They fought at their own

wedding.

Like we just saw?

Maybe worse.

Jesus. Why are they together?

Does Paul talk to you about this

stuff?

No.

That is so annoying to me.

Can I tell you something you

promise you won't tell anyone?

I promise.

Promise you won't tell.

Oh my god just f***ing tell me.

There was this one time where

Paul told me that he was gonna

leave her.

Shut up. What did you say?

I told him not too.

Really?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

I can't believe you never told

me that.

Yeah.

I mean jeeze what the hell do we

have to talk about you don't

tell me that story?

He told me not to say anything.

So what you tell me anyway.

I know.

God that is so juicy. Seriously

why didn't you tell me that?

I would have told you it just

happened during last year.
