You won't say

anything about what?

Hey.

Did you sleep with Sue?

What?

You know what?

Just call her already and go back to

your own place, please.

I need quiet time. Thank you.

No, I'm not going to call her.

This is crazy.

She tells me

to see other people...

and then she punishes me

for taking her advice?

Screw that.

You know what? Come on.

Even I can see that

it's not that you went out.

It's who

you went out with.

It's, like,

Learn Your F***ing Lesson Day around here.

Jesus Christ.

Lock the door, please.

Thank you.

Magnolia. Traitors.

You have my total support

in whatever you want to do.

Then why do I feel like

you're still against this?

I'm not. I am worried.

I'm your mother.

That's my job.

What if I decide

to go through with this?

Sweetheart, you clearly have

something special, you two.

I look at this relationship

and I think what it's done for you.

It's really...

It's great.

You are...I mean,

you've come into your own.

You're a painter.

I get that.

Rafi made me

see that.

That is going to be

your life.

- That's right.

- That's right. That's great.

But, David,

you have to try to hear this.

Love is not

always enough.

Not when you're talking about

marriage and children...

and joint checking accounts.

You're not supposed

to learn this lesson at 23, maybe...

but you did get yourself

into a complicated situation.

Mom.

Relationships are work.

Children...

are work.

And I'm not saying

love isn't important. It is, but...

- So what are you saying?

- I'm saying that...

Sometimes

you love and you learn.

And you...

move on.

And that's okay.

Here we go.

Whoops.

I'm sorry.

And?

And it was a really...

really bad call

and I wasn't thinking.

I'm so sorry, Rafi.

I'm just...

learning this stuff as I go along,

but you gotta work with me here...

because...

Can we

get a minute here?

No way.

I work here.

Fine. I'm going anyway.

Look.

Rafi, we might have some things

working against us...

and I do screw up from time to time,

but so does everybody else.

The difference with me

is I am actively...

I'm trying so hard

to get it right.

And I wanna be the man

that you see in me every so often.

Okay, on leap years, fine.

But I wanna be that guy for you.

Bottom line is...

I love you so much.

I'll figure it out,

okay?

I'll get it. You just gotta

give me a chance.

- Are you sure about this?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

Why now?

'Cause you want this

more than anything in the world.

And I wanna

give it to you.

I wanna make

a baby with you.

I can't.

Why?

Because I love you

and I can't do this to you.

I don't understand.

What are you doing to me?

It actually

feels really good.

I just can't.

I wanna

give this to you.

I know you do.

And it's the sweetest gift

anyone's ever given me.

But it's not

right for you.

You'll regret it.

You know this.

The fact that

you're still willing...

just shows how deep

your love goes.

That's the gift

I'm taking from you.

So I think I only need to sell

one more painting...

then I'll have enough

to get out of here.

What?

Where you gonna go?

I was thinking about somewhere

in Central America. Maybe El Salvador.

You're just gonna pick up

and go to El Salvador?

- Yeah.

- I don't understand.

You get there, you get off the plane.

How do you know where to go?

I don't.

I'm going to figure it out.

It's time for me

to try something like this.

I've never even left

the country before.

Excuse me.

What about Class Trip '98?

- What, Niagara Falls?

- Yeah.

- Come on, Morris.

- What?

- Well, man, what am I gonna do?

- You should come with me.

- No. El Salvador?

- Yeah.

That's Noriega country, amigo.

I'm gonna pass on that.

No, that's Panama,

and you might learn something.

I'm learning

right here.

I went on a second date

with this girl the other night.

You're kidding me.

Yes, I am. But I had you

for a second, didn't I? I had you.

- Oh, sh*t.

- What?

- I forgot my hat at the restaurant.

- Oh, you schmuck.

- You want me to come with you?

- No, that's cool, I'll get it.

All right, man.

I love you, brother.

- I'll catch up with you.

- All right, man.

- You forgot your hat.

- Yeah.

There you go.

Thank you.
