Remember Sunday Page #6

Synopsis: A lonely, down-on-her-luck waitress meets a handsome, quirky jewelry store clerk and thinks that maybe, finally, she's met Mr. Right. The more Molly (Alexis Bledel) gets to know Gus (Zachary Levi), the more she's intrigued by him. But she's also mystified. Gus is absent-minded, preoccupied. Is he hiding something? The short answer is: yes. He's reluctant to share with her that since suffering a brain aneurysm, he's totally lost his short-term memory. Every day is a brand new day, his life starts anew. Every day he sees Molly he struggles to remember who she is and what she represents. Every day, he has to fall in love with her all over again.

- Are you saying you love this girl?

I'm saying... Look, I've gone over my notes and,

every day I spend with her, I feel the

same way about her. She feels right!

So maybe... yeah... I do love her.

Getting thrown up on, by triplets,

hit on, by a drunk guy, when his

girlfriend goes to the bathroom...

that's my idea of fun!

You know, I'm starting to think

that this job is bad for my, wait...

Can I call you back? I'll call you back.

- Hello?

- Hey, Molly, it's Gus.

- Oh, it's, it...

- Look, before you say anything, I just...

I'm, I'm, I'm calling because I wanted to

explain why I've been acting so... weird.

Oh, yeah?

It, it's... it's kinda, it's

kinda hard to do over the phone.

So, I hoping maybe I could take you

someplace nice. Someplace special, tonight.

It, it's not Molly, it's Jolene. Molly's roommate?

We met... when you mistook me for Molly, wow!

Wow! How many women are you juggling?

You know what?

Call back and leave a message. I'm

not up to dealing with this today.

Urgh! Waa... ha... OK. Ok. OK. OK. OK. OK. OK.

Hi, this is Jolene, oh, and Molly.

Wait for the beep.

Uh, OK, hey, Molly, it's Gus.

I need to talk to you,

I have to explain a few things. Meet me at sunset,

at the elephant exhibit at the Audubon zoo.

OK? I'll be waitin' for you there. Bye

Message deleted.

Sorry, sir. We're closin' a little early. We're expectin' some weather.

Yeah, I was, uh...

I was waiting for someone.

Yeah, well, maybe they forgot.

I was gonna show her the elephants.

Well, you know the elephants, are..

they're gonna be here tomorrow.

Yeah...

You're lying, right? Tell

me you're making this up!

I shouldn't have, OK? But

it was for your own good.

Look, I'm not gonna let some clown, who changes

watchbands for a living, ruin your life!

Read this! Tell me he's a clown!

Y'know, fine! So I don't know what his problem is.

- What if it's your problem?

- Excuse me?

The way you're acting... I mean,

would you rather I was alone

and unhappy, or that I actually

try to find something good.

We both know that you make bad choices.

I was protecting you.

But, this guy's different.

He's kind and decent and...

spontaneous. If you actually

thought he was that bad for me,

why did you even tell me about the message? You

could have just pretended it never happened.

Because I've never seen you want anything more.

Bad luck.

Ugh! Work with me, you miserable piece of junk!

Ha! Ha! Thank you!

- You're mad, I don't blame you.

- I'm not mad.

I, I totally would have been

there, it was not my fault.

Your message got erased because of my roommate.

And then my car wouldn't start, and then the

rain... and I, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

- Can I... maybe get a towel?

- Yeah!

- Thanks!

Oh! This is so sweet! You've a picture

of us, taped up to your mirror.

My girlfriend... Molly.

- Is that, really how you feel, Gus?

- I do, I... I really do...

Molly, I have a confession. I

ha-I have to tell you something.

- You're married.

- Huh?

- Huh, Jolene was right.

- But, wha...

Do you have a girlfriend? Just...

tell me the truth.

No, uh, please come here. Come

here, come here, come here.

Look, um, no. I don't have a girlfriend.

I don't have a wife. I'm not married.

But I have a, problem...

remembering.

I... can't...

That's... that's your problem?

That's your only problem?

- Well, yeah! But i-i-it's a...

- Oh, please!

If you knew the amount of things that I...

forget! On a dialy basis. It's ridiculous!

OK, OK. Sit down. Sit with me, um...

- Hi.

- Hi!

- Look, some-something happened to me...

- Me, too!

Uh, no, I mean, um... before...

before you, before us.

Gus, I don't care about anything

that happened, before we met.

You are... unbelievably beautiful.

Ummm, I don't want to lose this!

I don't want to lose this!

I want to hang on to this.

I want to hang on to you.

I want to hang on to you.

I want to hang on to your eyes,

your lips, and your smell.

You smell of Freesias.

What's that?

Uh, nothing. Don't worry about it.

Let me put some music on.

Gus?! What...!

Are you... recording us?

- Molly.

- Is it, just, tonight? Or...

- every time, we've seen each other?

- Molly, I can explain.

What, what were you planning to do with this?

Like, post it on the Internet, or something?!

- Molly, no! Why would I do that?

- I don't know, I... you're the one recording us.

Oh! Are there cameras around here, too? Oh, I

cannot believe I did not see this one coming!

- Molly, Molly, you are misunderstanding.

- No, I'm sorry, I-I have to go.

Look, I wanted, I wanted to tell you,

I-I tried but you didn't listen.

Stop!

My brain doesn't work, OK? I lose you

every morning, I can't remember.

Just stop, OK? Stop it! I-I should have

listened to Jolene! I'm so stupid!

No! You're not! Molly, you're not stupid!

Oh, my God!

Molly, stop!

There's a little bit of

uncertainty in your life, OK?

A little? A little? A

little bit of uncertainty?

It is, a lot of uncertainty!

But, everybody has questions!

And believe me, kid, everbody struggles.

I don't know where I am when

I wake up in the morning... Jerry!

OK? I don't know what I'm

supposed to do with my day...

what city I live in, what I do for a living.

I need a cribsheet just to know

what I did yesterday, who I saw.

The people that I know, or I'm supposed to know,

are the people that I'm supposed to trust!

And it will never change for me.

What am I supposed to do about that?

Just try to take it in smaller chunks.

Like, like, what do you need

to know to get through today?

Is it possible to fall in love

with someone every single day?

No, Gustaf. Isn't that what we all want?

It's over, isn't it?

- Mornin'.

- Good morning.

I'm actually early.

- I didn't sleep too well last night.

- No flowers, today?

Back to plastic, Baptiste. You won me over.

Something wrong? What is it?

You're not yourself.

- You're scaring me! What's going on?

- You ever heard of garnishment?

Garnish, like parsley?

Like student loan, like when the

government takes a cut of your paycheck,

before you get it?

I'm sorry, Molly.

A-are you... I mean, this is... I

can't live without a paycheck! I...

I mean, I can't work and try to go to school...

I mean, what am I going to do?

- Here.

- Oh, no!

I can't take that! It's way too much, I...

Thank you, Baptiste!

It's alright, Molly. It's alright.

I don't understand. I'm on the schedule.

It's the insurance company. Bunch of

wolves, they won't renew my policy.

- Because of me?

- Well, I can't run my business without insurance

and they won't renew my insurance...

if I keep you on.

Are you firing me, Sam?

Now, listen, maybe uh, the

friends of your parents, the

Siegler's, they got a spot open

at the dry cleaning place.

- And I could call them...

- Don't worry about it...

It's okay. I'll see you.

But I don't want the paralegal,

I want the actual attorney

who's handling my case!

I'm sick of being palmed off and pushed around!
