Southside With You Page #7

and just thought it might be a good

idea to stop and see the movie,

since it's something

everybody was talking about.

Um, thank you for that

illuminating explanation.

Laura,

this is one of our summer associates,

a very talented young man,

Barack Obama.

Very pleased to make your acquaintance.

Pleasure's all mine.

So, you got around to seeing the movie,

I take it.

Yes, yes, we did.

In fact,

I was just explaining to Michelle

how angry that ending made me.

Why would the deliveryman

have thrown the trash can

through his employer's window?

He must have known his actions

would cause the mob to riot.

It seemed totally irrational.

Let me put it to you another way, Avery.

I'm all ears.

If Mookie hadn't thrown the trash can,

maybe the crowd would have

turned on Sal and his sons.

So,

instead of the store being destroyed,

they might be dead.

And Mookie knew the insurance

would cover the damage to the store.

He was saving Sal's life.

I never would have considered

that perspective, Barack.

See, that's why we need

a guy like you full-time.

Michelle,

make sure to treat him real good.

We want him sticking around.

We'll see you both Monday.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Night.

You know I only said that

to make Avery feel better.

Mookie threw that trash can

because he was f***ing angry.

What a coincidence seeing him here.

That's really wild.

It wasn't a coincidence.

It was cosmic justice.

I knew damn well going out with you

was the wrong thing to do...

pun intended...

and don't even try to

convince me otherwise, Barack,

because there's nothing you can say.

Nothing?

I can't tell you that

Avery doesn't give a hoot

about seeing the two of us out?

"Make sure to treat him real good."

That was not okay, Barack.

By any measure.

It was smarmy.

You don't think that was

laced with anything?

You don't think he meant

anything by that?

Maybe he did. So, what?

First thing Monday morning

he's gonna spread

this juicy little anecdote

around the office like wildfire.

You know,

none of this would have happened

if you had just respected

the boundaries I laid out,

but you refused.

You didn't respect

our working relationship.

And now that's all there's going to be.

I don't want any...

It's pretty good.

You want some?

Sure.

What goes underneath your armor

Underneath your clothes?

Do you know?

Let's find out together

Let's find what we're looking for

We'll explore

Leave your house of mirrors

Hear me out

Fear no consequence

Forget your doubts

I don't know where the road leads

You don't know if I'll break your heart

We don't know how the winds will blow

And we won't know

We won't go

Unless we start

Ooh, ooh, start

Fall into the sea

Of possibility

And hope

We're letting go

Float away with me

Until we can't see any coast

That we know

Hold on tight until we become one

Find our island

Underneath the sun

I don't know where the road leads

You don't know if I'll break your heart

And we don't know

how the winds will blow

And we won't know

We won't go

Unless we start

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Start, yeah

All the love inside us

All you want to give

Only happens if we let it live

And I don't know where the road leads

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You don't know if I'll break your heart

We don't know how the winds will blow

And we won't know

We won't go

Unless we start

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Start, yeah

Oh, unless we start

Ooh

Oh, let's start

Yeah

Unless we start.
