No, but I never...

I never promised.

You didn't promise?

I paid you money.

I'd like my money back, please.

Not only is my TMJ raging,

but I left here with the worst

headache of my life.

And I still have it.

You know, it's getting worse.

Maybe if you could calm down

and stop yelling at everybody. -

- Oh, screw you!

- Okay, that's... that...

You know,

do not get in that chair.

This guy is a...

- Oh.

- Oh my God!

Oh, my God! Um...

Mr. Fro... Mr. Frobischer.

- Can you hear me? Can you hear...

- Bag. Bag.

- Bag?

- Pocket.

Bag in your pocket?

- All right.

- Here, here's your bag.

- There's nothing in it.

- Dumbass.

There's nothing...

That's it, that's it.

You're okay now.

Just take it easy.

- Get off me. Get off me.

- Just stay lying on the floor.

No, don't get up.

No, you shouldn't get up.

- Don't get up. All right...

- I'm fine, no thanks to you.

- Why don't you sit down?

- Nope.

I'm outta here.

Thanks for nothing, buddy.

I'm... I'm begging you, Abby.

I'm begging you,

please talk to me.

Just talk to me.

I know things have been

a little weird,

but we have to talk, baby.

Please.

There you go.

Mr. Pfizer, let me just...

Dad?

Oh.

Sorry there, Mr. Pfizer.

I just, um...

looking good there.

We're almost done anyway.

Jenny will rinse you out and...

Thank you so much, Mr. Pfizer.

I hope you have

a great rest of your day.

And we will...

see you next time.

Jenny?

Abby?

Hey.

It's Adrian.

Wow.

Thought that was you.

Can I sit down?

Yeah.

How are ya?

I don't know.

Yeah.

God, I...

I don't think I've seen you since...

Gina's.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't drink like that

anymore, you know.

Luau

I've been sober for probably

about a year and a half.

Good for you.

Thanks.

Anyway-

So, you don't... you don't know?

You look good.

Thanks.

You guys still over

on Columbia Street?

No. That's... that's why I'm back.

My grandma passed away.

- Aw.

- Yeah.

I'm just back kind of

taking care of things,

get the house ready to sell.

Oh, yeah.

I remember that house.

You want to see it?

Jenny?

Jenny.

Jenny?

Jenny?

It's Dad.

Uh...

Okay, call me.

Okay. Bye.

All right.

I remember...

the light.

The light in this room.

It felt like...

morning, but it wasn't.

I remember your bed

on the floor with...

just a box spring.

I remember UB40

on the turntable.

"You shoot me down

in flames. "

I remember...

you asking me...

if I trusted you.

I remember you opened

your button flies with one "foop. "

And we both started cracking up.

I remember...

I remember our bodies...

like one...

thing, like one...

complete thing.

I remember feeling like

maybe I didn't have a body.

Did it hurt?

I don't know.

I don't know.

That part I don't remember.

Was I your first heartbreak?

Yeah.

I think I knew

I was gonna be even...

as I was doing it.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry for that.

It's okay.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Uh, Abby's not here.

I know, I know.

I know.

You want to come in?

Do you...

do you want to go maybe see

some music with me?

Um, right now?

Yeah.

Um, yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Um, let me just grab a jacket.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

What's...

what is that?

Just go on in.

Check it out.

You might like it.

Is it a blessing or a curse

To be found, to be found?

Is it a burden or a gift

To be bound, to be bound?

Are you comma or a dot

To my run-on sentence?

Where I was just a word

That had refused to be defined

There is freedom when you say

I am through, I am through

Room for something to begin

All anew, all anew

I'm now a horse

without a race

I will gallop where I please

And with no shame,

no hesitation

I'll go down upon my knees

My lonely days are over

4' Over 4'

Oh, my lonely days

are over

4' Over 4'

My lonely days are over

And love is love is

love is love

No matter

who you're thinking of

So you can open

all those doors

That someone closed

so long ago

'Cause you're bolder

when you say

"I am through,

lam through"

Room for something to begin.

How long were you

a messenger for?

I think five or six years.

Is that when you first got into,

like... like, all the biking?

Yeah. it was just

so much different then.

I mean, just a different vibe.

It was more

of my anarchist stage.

- Anarchist cycling?

- Yeah.

I was just one angry dude.

That's hard to imagine.

Is it?

Yeah.

You're just...

you're so, um...

So what?

Have you ever...

wanted to kiss

someone so badly

that it hurts your skin?

Jenny.

I don't know what to say.

You don't... you don't

have to say anything.

Maybe you...

maybe you could just kiss me.

It wouldn't...

it wouldn't have to mean

anything, you know.

Jenny, that's a terrible idea.

I kn... I know.

I know, I...

Look, I'm sorry.

I mean, you know

I love Abby, right?

I know.

I know, I know, I know.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Maybe could you just...

just hold me?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Thank you.

There's time spent,

resting on her bones

Waiting for the telephone

to ring

Ba-ring, ba-ring, ba-ring...

Oh!

How are you?

Very good.

Welcome.

- My sister.

- Hi.

My skin is cold as her toes

on the bathroom floor

Run back to bed

and slam the door

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, how it shakes the ground

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, what a lovely

Skin

Hsmy.

It's the only thing

That doesn't really fly

in my land

And love, oh, love

Is my, love is

It's the only thing,

that butterfly in Thailand

Let it be printed

on every T-shirt in this land

On the finest of cottons

and the hippest of brands

In bolder letters

than the capital I

It is the only thing,

it's the only thing

It's the only lonely, oh-oh

My skin is white

as parchment

Drier than a downtown

office building

Where the air is tight

There's time spent waiting

for that macram bird of prey

To come down and sing

La-ling, la-ling, la-ling,

la-ling, la-ling, la-ling

La-ling, la-ling, la-ling,

la-ling, la-ling, la-ling

What a lovely sound

Oh, how it shakes the ground

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, how it shakes the ground

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, how it shakes the ground

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh, how it shakes the ground

Oh, what a lovely sound

Oh

Oh, what a lovely sound.

I like you

just the way you are

Way you are

I like you just the way

I like you

just the way you are

Way you are

I like you

just the way you are

Don't go changing

the color of your hair

Don't go changing, no

Don't go changing

the color of your hair

I like you

just the way you are

Way you are

I like you just the way

I like you

just the way you are

Way you are

I like you

just the way you are

People who love you

will love you

Don't go changing a thing

People who love you

will love you

People who love you

will always love you

I like you

just the way you are

Way you are

I like you

just the way you are.
