The Last Kiss Page #5

Lisa, stop it. Jesus, stop it.

Just go. Please. Go.

-You're staying at a motel?

-No, it's a hotel.

And it's really very nice.

They've got a gym...

Come on, Mom. Please.

This is ridiculous.

It's what I chose to do.

I'm going to find a place soon.

-And you really think you can start over?

-You mean at my age?

-Yes, yes I do.

-I'm still breathing, aren't I?

I'm still here.

It's a long time ago.

Daddy'll understand.

No, that's... That's not the point of this.

You've been together since college.

Yup.

And do you know how miserable

I've been almost the whole time?

-I don't think that's true.

-Well, I've just kept it from you.

Yeah, trust me, Mom,

you're not that good

at hiding your emotions.

Really?

I'm sorry. You make this difficult

because you want it that way.

Men are easy.

And you've been with Michael, what,

-three years, right?

-Yeah.

And it took me less than half an hour

to figure him out.

-Wow. Oh, you're lucky. Jeez.

-Mom.

You know exactly what Daddy wants.

And you know how to make him happy

and how to make him miserable.

Every woman does.

If you're bored, Mom, you know,

that's your fault, not his.

Bored.

You've always been

your father's daughter,

and if you want to side with him

this time, that's fine.

-This is not about sides, Mom.

-Don't!

Don't pretend that you know

what goes into a 30-year marriage,

because you don't have a clue.

You don't have a clue.

Are you all right? I'm sorry.

I don't want to upset you.

Can we have some

chamomile tea, please?

-Hello.

-Hey, it's Michael.

Hey, Michael!

I've been thinking about you.

Really? What kind of thoughts?

You know exactly what kind of thoughts.

-What are you doing?

-I'm at work.

Yeah, I'm trying to picture it.

Where's your office?

It's Zander-Cohen.

It's a pretty big architecture firm.

Impressive. Do you have a view?

Yeah. It's a nice view.

Yeah? Can you see what I'm doing?

It's not that nice.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry.

So are we still on for tonight?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So, like, 8:
00, right?

You want me to pick you up?

Yeah, 8:
00. I'll be waiting.

All right, cool. Bye.

Who was that?

Just this friend.

Do you have a friend I don't know?

This guy from school.

Going through a divorce.

By the way,

I was going to ask you a favor.

What?

What?

I was gonna go out with him tonight

and Jenna f***ing hates him,

so I'm just gonna tell her I'm with you,

if that's cool.

You're f***ing around on her.

What?

It's a guy from school.

No. Don't get me involved in this,

please.

How can you f*** around on Jenna?

She's perfect.

She's beautiful. She's like a guy.

What more could you ask for?

-I'm telling her I'm with you.

-No. Michael, what are you doing?

Don't tell her you're out with me.

No, I'm gonna screw it up. I can't lie.

You're both gonna hate me forever.

Leave me out of it.

-I have faith in you.

-No. Come here. Michael. Come here.

Michael, Michael.

Hey, Michael, come here a second.

My boss said to tell you

that there's this guy

who really wants to buy this thing

coming by tomorrow.

But he is full of sh*t.

I mean, I've worked here for three years.

You're the first people

I ever showed it to.

Smoked a lot of weed in there, though.

It's good for that.

-Hello.

-Izzy, your father, he isn't breathing.

You need to get home quickly.

Okay.

I called the ambulance

and the fire volunteers.

I gotta go.

Chris is moving into Kenny's?

I think so, so they can, like,

figure some stuff out.

I don't get it. He has a child.

I know, but, come on,

you've seen them together.

She's sort of lost her mind.

-This is her fault?

-It's nobody's fault. It's just...

I don't know. I think he just needs

to talk to somebody.

-Okay.

-I'm not gonna be late.

-I'll be at my dad's till around 11:00.

-Okay.

God, what's happening?

Everyone around us is falling apart.

I know.

-Have fun.

-Thanks.

-Hi!

-I got this!

I don't need it!

-Oh, my God!

-My God!

Oh, my God. My top is totally clinging.

You can see everything.

Don't worry, I promise I won't look.

Then I'll be insulted.

-Well, I don't want to offend you.

-Well, then.

Your top's wet.

Okay. Where am I going?

Straight ahead. Turn left.

Your kind of party, huh?

I was never in a fraternity.

I was much too serious.

I bet you were 29

even when you were 19.

Put it this way. If I had to do it again,

I'd do it knowing that after you graduate,

no one ever gives a f***

what your GPA was.

Hey! Kim!

Hi!

This is Sara,

and Bridgitte and John.

-Hey. How's it going?

-Cool.

Sorry about that.

At the tone,

please record your message.

Chris, it's Jenna. Michael and you

both have your cell phones off.

Listen, Izzy's dad just died.

We're all gonna head over there,

so I guess I'll see you guys there. Bye.

Go ahead. I'll be okay.

-I want things to be okay, Daddy.

-I know.

Go ahead. Take care of your friend.

I'm fine. I really am.

You have no messages. Main menu.

-Hey.

-Hello, Jenna.

-I'm so sorry.

-Thank you, darling.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming. Go.

Everybody is in the back room.

-Okay.

-Thank you.

Hey. Thanks for coming.

-I don't know what to say. Are you okay?

-No. I don't know.

The last thing I did was quit on him.

He knew you loved him.

-Hey.

-Hey.

Hey, where's Michael?

He went out with Chris.

I haven't been able to reach them.

No, Chris is in the kitchen.

-Good. I'll be back.

-Okay.

Hey.

-Michael's not here.

-Why not?

I don't know. Did you try him at home?

Hi, you've reached Michael and Jenna...

Hey, he's not there

and his cell's still turned off.

You told him you were coming here.

He knows, right?

I told him. Or, I mean...

What? Did you?

Oh, man. I'm not gonna do this.

-I can't do this.

-Do what?

-What's wrong?

-Can't do what?

-Chris? Chris, can't do what?

-Jenna, please.

-Can't do what, Chris?

-You should just talk to Michael.

Talk to him about what, Chris?

What the hell are you talking about?

Listen, don't ask me

any more questions, please.

He should be telling you.

-Tell me what?

-I don't know!

-Tell me what?

-I don't know!

-Where is he?

-I don't know!

-Who is he with right now?

-I don't know!

Is he seeing somebody?

-Why are you asking me?

-Just tell me the truth.

Is he seeing somebody else, Chris?

Look at me!

I'm looking at you.

I don't know if he's seeing anybody else.

You don't know.

How could you not know?

I don't know anything.

Hey. This is Michael.

-Leave a message...

-What is with the yelling?

-Where did he go?

-I don't know. Jenna!

Michael, call me as soon as you get

this message. I'm gonna kill you.

Oh, my God! What the hell

are you doing? You're calling him?

-No, that wasn't him.

-To tell him what? What is this?

-What the f*** is this?

-I honestly have no f***ing idea.

-Yes, you do. Do you know her?

-Just give me a break.

-No, I don't.

-Do you know her?

-No! They just met. Be quiet.

-What?

Jenna, they're just...
