get into computers ?

- Grew up at Caesar's Palace.

Right ? ln Vegas ? Gambling,

cones, the whole package, right ?

Didn't have any friends, so l just

pounded away on the old keyboard...

[ Grunts ]

Whoa.

- Crawl, we have to talk.

- Yeah, l could see that.

What's the problem, Becca ?

- Travis is gonna ask me to marry him.

- What ?

- [ Laughs ] He got down on one knee.

- [ Groans ]

l just can't see myself settling down.

- You know, l think

l'm really too young...

- Hey, hey, hey, hey,

- to be thinking

about these things. What ?

- hey, hey, hey, stop ! Stop !

- Sit down. Relax.

- What ?

Hey, you don't have to do

anything you don't wanna do.

Crawl, it's not that easy.

You know, we've been

together for a long time.

l just don't wanna hurt him.

Just remember, the longer you wait,

the more painful it's gonna be.

[ Sighs ]

- Listen, l-l gotta tell you somethin'.

- What ?

My gear, man.
