The Break-Up Page #11

Now, I've had a lot of time|to think about|some of the things

that went on, and I know,|Brooke, that I don't always|do the right thing

or always say|the right things,

but I am willing to try|to do things differently.

And I'd be happy to go|take a dance class.

Well, I would. Honestly.|I would like to go do that.|Or go travel.

I mean, I'd even be willing|to go to the ballet.

Although I would much rather|do the dance class|or take a trip somewhere.

But I realize|that's not the point.

I realize that the point|isn't that at all,

because it's not really|about doing things|that you love to do always,

but it is about doing things|with the person that you love.

And I love you.

Gary.|Just give me one second here.

I've missed you so much.

(SOBBING)

I promise you, Brooke,

I will do whatever it is|that I have to do|to never hurt you again.

I love you and I'm sorry.

Okay, that's it.|That's all I...

Oh, God.|That's all I wanted to say,

so you can go ahead now|with anything that|you're feeling to say.

I don't know what to say.

Just say whatever|you feel inside.

I don't feel the same way.

I don't. I just...|I don't know.

Oh, God.

I just, I think...|I don't know,

but I don't think I have

anything left to give.

I'm sorry.

I was hoping for...

It doesn't matter.

Oh, this is now|beyond awkward.

There's some new guy|standing out in the hallway

and I think I'm gonna go.

Okay.

Thank you.

I made a dinner,|and I don't know if|it's any good or not,

but you're welcome to have it.

Okay.

Gary, that's really...|That's not what|you think that it is.

It's okay.

I'm gonna go take a walk.

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

I'm sorry about that.|No.

I'm sorry I imposed.|No, that's fine. Please.

So, what do you think?|I think you're right.

I think it's great.|Good.

Okay.|Okay.

So,

I will have that wrapped up.

Packed up, sorry,|and delivered.

Thank you for taking the time|to show it to me, okay?

Sure.

Yeah. I'm gonna run.|Okay, I'll walk you out.

No, no, no.|I can... It's okay.

(DOOR OPENING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

GARY:
So, the thing that|I was most afraid|of happening happened

and I don't regret it at all,|because now she knows|how I feel.

Do you know what I mean?|Yeah.

I think,|what you got to do now|is really think hard,

because you have|to find somebody

that can't be traced back|to either of us

to visit this guy.

What are you talking about?|I don't...

The guy who came with her.

I don't need anything|to happen to the guy.

But if they could trace him|back to either one of us...

It's not about him.|I don't care about that.|...it's a problem.

The guy, he's not a...|They're not dumb.|Cops are smart, trust me.

Okay, but he's not|a problem to me.|Right.

Listen to me.

Promise me that you're|not gonna do anything.

I got you.

It's better if nobody...|You don't know anything.

What are you talking about?|I'll take care of it.

I don't want you|to take care of anything.|John, do me a favor.

I'm being serious with you.|I know, I know.|Smart. You're smart.

No, I'm not.|I'm being honest with you.

I don't want anything|to happen to him.|Me, either.

Promise me you're not|gonna have anyone|do anything to this guy.

But you've gotta|tell me exactly|what you're gonna tell them,

if the cops come to you.|Because if we tell|a different story...

Nothing.|Promise me one thing.|We don't care...

John, I'm gonna go home.|I can't do this.|I'm exhausted.

Right, go home. Just make sure|your neighbors know|you're going home.

Do me a favor.|They got phone records. Make|a couple phone calls tonight.

Especially around 10:00.

Okay. Please don't|do anything. All right.

I don't mean it like...|I mean, honestly.

No, no, I got it.

For all you know,|nothing's happening.

I don't want anything|to happen.|Right.

Say it louder.

What are you doing here|so early?

Hey.

Everything okay|with you and...|Yeah, everything's|gonna be great.

I just wanna get|my day started,|but I just wanted to say that

I'm sorry it took|so long for me to...

I love you, Dennis.

(GASPING)|It's all right. It's okay.

I'm sorry. I'm gonna go|do the stuff.

So, that's it|for all my stuff.

If you want, you could give me|your key and I'll drop it off|at Riggleman's.

All right.

Thanks.

Gary.

You know, there's|a thousand things I...

I would have done differently.

Me, too.

Sort of, actually,|when I see this space, I|realize that if we didn't have

such a big coffee table|and that oversized couch

a pool table|would have fit nicely.

Yeah.

Although the oversized couch|did come in very useful the|last couple of weeks, so...

Yes, it... I guess.

Have a good trip.

Thanks.

GARY:
Chicago is called|the Second City

because after the|Great Chicago Fire of 1871,

Chicago was rebuilt|on its ruins.

The city came back|even bigger and stronger|than it originally was.

So it's not really an insult,|it's more of a badge of honor|to be called...

The Second City!

Okay. People, you might|be able to get away

with that reaction at work,|but you are on vacation here.

If you can't blow it out here,|then where the hell|can you blow it out?

Ladies and gentlemen,|show me that you mean it.

Do not make me ask you twice.

Are you ready to see Chicago?|ALL: Yes!

I said, are you ready|to see Chicago?|ALL: Yes!

Are you ready to see Chicago?|Shondra, put this babe|in the air.

Let's go!

There is a bar downstairs.|Please enjoy yourself.

I know it's early|in the morning, but it is|Chicago in the summer.

Who are we kidding? It's fine.

Go get hopped up,|make some bad decisions.

My jokes get better.|The buildings look bigger.

It's not so important|that everything is finished.

It's important that|everything is right.

Well, what time's|the presentation?

All right, I'll pick up|the rest of the stuff|and I'll see you at 6:45.

Great. Bye.

GARY:
Brooke!

Hi.|Hi.

Wow.

(CHUCKLES)

It's good to see you.|It's good to see you.

I'd give you a hug,|but my hands are kind of|full with all the bags here.

How've you been?|I've been really good.

How have you been?|I've been good.

Yeah.

You look great.|Thank you.

The hair's a little different.|Looks nice.|Yeah? Oh, yeah.

You've lost some weight.|Well, it's very|deceiving, actually.

I've managed to become thin|without having any real muscle|on me whatsoever.

Very tough thing to|accomplish, by the way.|I'm proud of myself.

Well, you look terrific.|Thanks.

I heard your trip|went really well.|It did. It went really well.

Oh, good.|It was fun. It was amazing.

I saw so many amazing places.|It was just...

But, you know,|you do realize|how much you love home.

It's good to have you back.|Yeah. It's good to be back.

And the boat.|Congratulations on the boat.|Thanks.

I'm waiting for it|to get warm, and I'm gonna|come by and take a ride.

Well, anytime you want.|It'll be on the house.|Come on by.

Well, I will, then.

I hope you do.

Definitely.

Well, I got to...|I'm going to a meeting, so...

I got to drop these bags|off anyway, but it's really|good to see you, Brooke.
