Remember Sunday Page #4

It was great.

Try and find a way to keep her.

Molly Brandford.

You had a date with Molly

Brandford tonight, and...

It was great. Try and find a way to keep her.

- I pay you to write?

- I'm on a break.

Molly's Petal Cherie?

It's for school.

It's my plan. Molly's Darling Petals.

Good! Some day I'll work for you, but

right now, you still work for me.

Break's over. I need you to go serve

the payin' customers, table 3.

Serving!

Yeah, so I'm just doing the, um,

student, waitress, thing...waiting to get

- to the next thing... I moved here 3 years...

- Who is that?

A girl.

A friend... a, uh...

that I have a date with, tomorrow, because,

apparently, I had a date with her last night

and it went... very... well.

And...

I can't explain it, obviously,

but, I think I really like her.

You should get dressed because

we have a doctor's appointment.

So, you understand the aneurysm

destroyed your hippocampus?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, sorry. Um, my old memories,

everything up to the aneurysm is, uh, is solid.

I can, forgive me because I've probably

already asked this a thousand times,

what happens to my new memories?

Well, most healthy brains use sleep to

consolidate short-term memories, into long.

For you, it's the opposite. Sleep

takes away your short-term memories.

And with such an intricate maze of

neurons, it's hard to pinpoint exactly...

where your pathways can afford it.

Headaches?

My notes say... two a day, or, or, or...

so. Lucy set up a good system for me.

Good! I'm glad to see your

system's still working for you.

So, should we check our

schedules to get together again?

I can't live like this. I want my mind back.

I need... my... mind...

That's our goal, Gus. We're starting

some promising new trials...

perhaps in a year...

I don't have a year! I

haven't got a year, look...

Lucy's put this great system in place

and I'm so appreciative of that, sis...

and the procedures that I have in place that...

help my life to... work, but ...

I have no continuity, I have no forward momentum,

I have no progress, I... and how can I?

Because every time I try to make

something new, it, it, it, I, I can't

I can't hold on to it. I can't. I

need it, I need it, I need new!

I need to connect to people and not just...

forget them, every damn day!

Please...

Please, just make my... my mind work again.

Gus, he can't.

Yet. We're not giving up.

Anything's possible.

Fix me!

Please!

I'll check in on you again, soon.

Are you sure you're okay?

- Why wouldn't I be?

- Gus?

About the new girl, if you're

serious, if you're gonna pursue this,

you have to tell her the truth. It's not fair.

- I love you.

- Alright.

Tell her? You hardly know t...!

What's her name, Molly?

Lucy's right. I've decided.

What?! To admit to her that you can't

remember her name, one day to the next?

That's the truth, isn't it?

Well, where do you plan on doing this grand

confession? I'm sorry, can we stop for a second?

I'm gonna throw up!

Look... if you plan on telling

this girl, and keeping her,

You gotta romance her first. Y'know?

Take her someplace razzle-dazzely.

Razzle-dazzely?

Yeah, razzle-dazzely. I took a girl out

a couple months ago, she loved it.

You're cheating on Brenda?

Brenda is seeing someone else! We're divorced!

It's been over a year, now. Actually,

14 months, 22 days, but who's counting?

I'm so... tired... of telling you this story.

- But Brenda was so great!

- I know! OK?!

Signing those divorce papers... was

my biggest mistake of my life!

Why do you think I'm jogging? Just

give me your recordable... pen thing.

I know the perfect place where to take her.

The Moonlight Roller Dome?

How did you think of this?

A friend... recommended it, so...

You know, I'm not really dressed for it, and, um,

not to mention I can't really... Oh, watch out!

- Sorry!

- Chip, stay away from the walls!

That guy's havin' fun. And we

can be havin' fun like that...

- OK.

- Yeahhhh... come on!

Maybe... uh, maybe we should

have tried something else.

No, no, no, no, you're doing great.

Honestly, you're do...

- Comin' through!

- Whoa, Who, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

Or maybe we could get a snack.

Yeah! Yeah. Sure.

Always, ladies, for our last set of the

session we'll have couples only, please.

That's right, couples only, please.

Get off the floor, Chip!

Alright, this is a little throwback

for you lovebirds out there. Enjoy!

What do you say? Last dance?

- Yes, yes, she can be taught!

- Wait up!

Forget it, I'm just really bad at this.

Molly... noone cares. Look around you.

- It's a skating rink!

- Ha, ha.

Get a little closer. Come here. I

promise I won't bite. Now left.

- Left.

- Right, left, right. Yes! Yes.

Look at that, she's gettin' in the groove.

She's feelin' it! She's feelin' it!

- It's not gonna turn.

- I gotcha, I g... I gotcha, I gotcha...

- I gotacha! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

- How long have you been doing this?

I... don't know. Forever? I guess?

- Forever?

- Hold on, documenting moment.

- Oh! Look at that turn!

- Whooo! You got to turn!

That was not bad!

- Turn, girl!

- I'm alright.

Today was... really great.

What would you do... I mean, if, like, you had

nothing holding you back, what would you do?

Ummm, well, I'd open a flower shop.

You didn't laugh!

- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Why would I laugh?

- I don't know! Sometimes... people do.

It sounds... hokey... I guess. Small.

No! No, not to me! Why haven't you done it yet?

Well, there's this money that I'm waiting on.

Um, my great aunt Ruth... never had any grandkids,

so, she, uh, she left her house

to me, and her daughter.

And, uh, we're supposed to split the sale

money but my cousin's blocking it... she...

- Oh, that is awful!

- I know!

And I think that... in waiting

for it to go through,

I've actually been waiting for my life to start.

Like I'm stalling, you know? And I'm tired

of waiting... for things, you know?

I'm, I don't want to be afraid.

You know what I mean?

Yeah... Yeah, yeah!

- Huh, huh.

- Oh, what's this? Tell Molly...

Nothin'! I mean... I, clearly

it's something, but it's nothing,

but it was a, actually no, but this, this, I...

made for you at the snack bar.

- I can't really do the trunks very well, but...

- It's an elephant!

- It is an elephant!

- It's so nice, thank you. I saw you doing that!

Guess it's another hidden talent.

What else don't I know about you?

This is me.

- Oh! Um, well, which, which one is yours?

- The balcony, with the... telescope.

Oh, cool! I've never looked

through a telescope before.

Oh, you have to! Yeah!

At so-at some point, I mean. You know? Yeah.

Oh, yeah... right.

- I gotta go, OK? But... I'll see ya.

- Yeah. OK!

- Wanna talk about it?

- No!

Yes. You were right.

Men can be completely infuriating... impossible!

- You really like him?

- Yeah, I really, REALLY like him.

- I half threw myself at him.

- Oh, honey. And what did he do?

Maybe he's married.
