---

my sister's wedding.

- You guys should feel

these for a couple days.

- Thank you.

You don't have any

place to be, right?

- Right.

- Right.

- Whew.

- What's your favorite memory?

- What, favorite

memory of all time?

- Of us.

- Uh, wow.

Okay, I came to your apartment

because we were going to dinner,

and you had made up this lame

excuse about no reservations

and that you were flustered,

and then I went into your

room to grab your coat

and you had rose

petals scattered,

and candles burning, and this

Italian meal that

you said you cooked.

- It was Olive Garden.

- I know.

- Yeah.

That was the moment when I knew

I could never live

without you in my life.

- But you did.

- No, I didn't.

You were always

there like a ghost,

haunting any

relationship after you.

- Your turn.

- We were working at the

bar, it was almost Christmas,

I think we'd been seeing

each other for about a month.

And you'd just gotten off

and left the building.

- It was so cold that day.

- And I watched you walk

across the parking lot,

toward your minivan.

- I hated that car.

- I still had people in my

section, but I didn't care,

I had to do something.

- So you ran outside,

took off your hat.

- I grabbed you.

- And you kissed me.

- I told you merry Christmas.

- And then you turned

around and just walked away.

I didn't breathe for minutes.

- I'm glad you didn't die.

- Me too!

Cause then this

would be awkward.

We might be here

all night long

Baby, play me a fiddle song

- I don't know when it

hit, but I'm kinda drunk.

- I think it was somewhere

between the second shot

and the fourth beer.

Cool face, in

the air was my own

look back at me and stare

And it's time to wake up

Coming days are forgiven

- And this is Jaden,

isn't he precious?

- He looks... curious.

- Well you know my

sister, she's a nut.

- Ah, yeah.

- Oh, and this is my house.

It's teeny tiny.

It's cute, right?

- Yeah, it's cute.

- You know what we should do?

We should take some

photographic memories?

- I would love to take

some photographic memories.

- Hey, excuse me, would you

mind taking a picture of us?

Please.

- Yeah, yeah, sure.

- Thank you.

- Do me a favor and

just keep snapping.

Take one like each second.

- Okay, okay.

We could still feel

something that we never did

- Okay, great, great,

here, I'm getting back

with my friends, thanks.

- Oh.

Your hair is a little messed up.

- Thank you.

- You know what I want?

- What do you want?

- I want you... to sing for me.

- No.

- Come on!

- No.

- Please.

- No, not anymore.

- Get up.

- I really don't

want to do this.

- I'm sorry.

Sitting around

Waiting on the world to end

As we begin to fall

Crazy in love

Your Guns N'

Roses records play

We'll ride

in the night train

- Come inside.

- Ah, turn it off!

- I'm trying!

- Shut it off, shut it off!

- I'm trying, I

can't find the knob.

- Sh*t, you broke it.

- Whose ass was on it?

- Ahh, Brennan!

- You could

at least give me a hand.

- I'm not a plumber.

- Give me a hand.

- Wow, haven't

you heard of this thing

called maid service?

- Never heard of it.

- Oh, they clean your room.

- Then how

would I find my stuff?

Oops.

Is your world spinning or

would you like another drink?

- My world is spinning, and

I would love another drink.

Shh, shh.

This is the moment where

all the noise goes silent.

- What does that mean?

- I don't know.

My head plays

you over and over

Standing there by the rail

The wind in your hair

Lips from wine

Mile from time

Mile from time

- Oh, hey.

- Hey.

- I'm not having a beer

because I'm an alcoholic,

I'm having a beer

to feel better.

It has fruit.

- So you leave Monday?

- I leave Monday.

- You don't have

any plans, or...

- What about you, your

conference is done.

What are you still doing here?

- I thought I'd stay for

the weekend, see the sights.

- Why'd you check

out of your hotel?

- They put us up in a real dive.

I'll find a new one later.

- Don't be stupid,

you can stay in mine.

- Or I could do that.

- Close your eyes.

- How would I see?

- Use that noggin of yours.

- All right.

- Remember when you were a kid?

- Yeah, I think I was there.

- Picture it.

Remember the first time

you went to the ocean.

Your loss of virginity.

First thing you regretted.

Your first heartbreak.

Open your eyes.

What color did you see?

- What color?

- Yeah, sometimes your

dreams and memories

associate to a particular color.

- Blue.

- Blue?

- Mhm.

- Interesting.

- What's it mean?

- Well, sometimes, blue can

typically be associated with

loyalty, truth, wisdom...

- Hey.

- Openness, heaven,

and tranquility.

- Your turn.

- Nope, I am the

psychoanalyzer here.

- Close your eyes.

- Then how would I see?

- Just do it.

- Remember your first crush.

First kiss.

First time you were

alone and scared.

Remember prom and cigarettes.

Cats, the salon.

Your nephew, first time you

got flowers, disappointment.

Remember the last time

you played the piano.

The first time I held your hand.

The drinking contest.

The air mattress.

Right now, and the future.

What did you see?

- Let's keep going.

Peering through the window

Watching you outside

You tear off your shirt

With sweat dripping

down your side

And I know you think of me

- Can I ask you

something serious?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

- I think so.

- Okay.

Do you want to...

Share some mozzarella

sticks with me?

- You a**hole,

I thought you were gonna

say something important.

- Are you implying

fried cheese is not?

- I do like fried cheese.

- Mhm, but you wanted

something more like politics.

- Exactly.

So who did you vote for in the

last presidential election?

- Um, Voldemort.

He was a little bit darker,

but I liked that his running

mate was a human-eating snake.

- Oh, interesting, kind of dark.

- You two look like

you're having fun.

- Oh, well, mostly he's being

stupid, but it's amusing.

- Really, and how

are the drinks?

- They are real good, thank you.

- Okay, that was creepy.

Wasn't that creepy?

Real good, thank you.

- Sorry I was being

appreciative of your services.

- Maybe I can take you

back to my room later

and thank you some more.

- I don't sound

like Darth Vader.

- Yeah, you know

what, you kind of do.

- Yes, you do.

- All right, so, I'm guessing

a couple more vodka Red Bulls?

- Yeah, I think I need one now.

- Thank you.

I like her.

You know what we should do?

- Does it involve going

back to your motel room?

- No, we should write a poem.

- Or we should write a poem.

- To Jessie.

- You want to write a

poem to the waitress

we just met?

- Yes, I do.

- Okay.

What do you wanna say?

- Dear Jessie, thank you

for our vodka Red Bull.

- Nora thinks that

you're so cool.

- I'm sorry Brennan

was so creepy.

We are too wound

up to be sleepy.

- We still are going back

to your room, aren't we?

- You're our new favorite girl.

- You're my new favorite girl.
