You people all seem to forget.

We can change this city.

People love their cars.

But if you give them great coffee...

...and great music. If you-

I'll put it to you like this...

...then I'll thank you

for your time.

My answer is...

...no.

Hi, may I help you?

One ticket to Cabo San Lucas...

...through Los Angeles,

first class, please.

Could you seat me next to a single guy?

I think I'll put you in seat 3-C.

Thank you.

Tell me everything there is

to know about you.

I've got a speciaI feeling about you.

Don't feeI too bad about her.

I'll tell you what happened.

The kid talks her ear off

the whole flight.

His dad picks him up at the airport.

He's divorced. He meets Debbie.

His first words are...

Look at those fantastic earrings.

And that's all it took.

Debbie was in love.

She got back 2 weeks ago. He sends

her the big basket every day.

Every third one she sends back

just to be mysterious.

I don't know. Games.

He wants her to move to Mexico.

And if she gets a job at the

TV station there, she's going.

Thanks.

Tomorrow I sneak in and spell

her name in rose petals.

Do you believe this job?

It's so easy to fall back

into old patterns.

Back with Andy.

One week and we're already

like one of those...

...old couples who sit around in

Denny's and don't speak.

What am I doing?

Why did I chicken out?

You have the...

No.

This is good.

Being with Andy is like being alone.

Together.

At least I'm not out there dating.

Love you.

Love you too.

What?

I was worried about you.

I'm fine.

I am great!

Been working.

I read half of Exodus.

I think you're going through

a phase of some kind.

Do you realize that

in modern-day society...

...there is almost no need

to leave the house?

At all.

You're wigging.

I'm not wigging.

What? You think I'm wigging?

This is hang time.

I'm just...

I'm just regrouping.

I'm spending some time with myself.

Getting stronger. Regrouping.

Thinking about regrouping.

I'm thinking about how I listened

to my instincts and they were wrong.

Wrong. The opposite of right.

I just wanted to bring you your maiI.

You know...

...and maybe this isn't the

right time to say this...

...but things do turn around.

I mean, I don't even think

about Cliff anymore.

I'm having the best time ever.

On my terms.

And you know what else?

I'm going back to schooI.

Really?

Paid off my loan.

Got all my classes.

My first project is

to redesign the fountain...

...so we can sit in it.

That's good news.

It is.

People need people.

It has nothing to do with sex.

Maybe 40 percent.

60 percent.

Forget it. Forget it.

Tell you what:

If I have any kind of news

of any kind...

...something good...

...something nice...

...that I want to share with you

or something...

...I will knock four times, okay?

It's going to be...

...our secret code.

How?

- What?

- How?

- How what?

- How will you knock?

Like that.

Take care of yourself.

Please.

In a paralleI universe,

we're probably a scorching couple.

But in this one...

...neighbors.

Did you get my message last night?

Because I called.

I know.

I thought I appreciated you

but I didn't.

I used to...

...live out by the airport

underneath the flight patterns.

It was noisy with the planes

going by all day.

I used to have cookouts

and no one would come...

...because of the noise.

I got used to it.

And then, when I moved,

I missed the noise.

I missed the planes.

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

I miss you.

The way you used to look at me.

Don't.

I'm finally over you.

Really?

I mean, you know,

I still really do like you.

You know?

I think you're very...

What?

Entertaining.

That's me. I got to go.

My break's over.

Janet, you rock my world.

I'm walking down the avenue

And I'm looking at the garbage cans

I'm laughing at the people I see

Something like that.

I'm just playing with the lyrics.

None of that stuff is set in stone.

Anyway, I'm working on it.

Call me when you get in.

I don't know

what you're doing tonight.

But give me a call.

Talk to me, talk to me.

40 rsums, bring me back something.

Here we go!

I was just nowhere near

your neighborhood.

I don't need to be your girlfriend.

I just want to know you again.

What took you so long?

I was stuck in traffic.

That's the way it happens around here.

Steve's moving out,

they're finding their own place.

- I'm happy for them.

- Look out!

No problem.

I may live here forever and that's fine.

Not everybody needs to be with someone.

I don't know, for a lot of people,

living alone is a nasty hang.

Not for me.

My music is all the juice I'll need.

I'm a self-contained unit.

I'm a solo artist.

I better get going.

I'm going out tonight.

Going out?

You?

That's a nice hat you're wearing.

And I don't mean that

in an Eddie Haskell kind of way.

Thanks.

- Bless you.

- Thank you.

Does everyone go through this?

No, I think just us.

I'll be celibate forever.

I could spend the rest of my life

with that girl.

She's in a car.

All you see is her head.

- I know my type.

- I met someone new.

- She's more my type than yours.

- She is not.

- She is.

- You always say they're your type.
