With This Ring Page #7

about why we no longer worked together.

Now, she's my friend,

so, obviously, she knows.

I know.

These questions are on the record.

Now. She can tell the story 1 of 2 ways.

1. What really happened,

which kills your whole

America's nice black friend thing,

or 2...

Kill the story altogether.

That all depends on whether or not

you call me back in the next hour.

And just to help you with your decision.

Your friend Mikiko,

He is now also a friend of mine.

Oh, and apparently a very big fan

of smart phone photography.

Woo....

...84 DAYS REMAINING

So. I couldn't get him

to guarantee you the part.

Only the studio can do that.

But he's making them read you.

So he would look crazy saying

anything but great things after.

I just have to kick ass.

You just have to kick ass.

Okay.

Amaya.

You can do this.

Oh no, it's okay.

I'm off book.

The scene has been rewritten.

You will need to read.

Okay.

Thanks.

'I know I made some mistakes.

And while you were out saving the world....'

I'm sorry, I was really prepared

for the other scene.

Do you mind if I try again.

Thanks.

'I know I made some mistakes

And while you were out saving the world....'

Do you mind if I just take a minute?

Make it brief.

Thank you.

Wait a second.

- We come here all the time...

Wait, wait, wait...

Wait.

It's the casting director.

Answer it, fool.

Hello.

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Yes, well, no.

I understand.

Okay.

No, no, it's fine.

Thank you for calling.

Bye bye.

I'm sorry, Trista.

I really did tried my best.

No,

it's okay.

The important thing is.

Is they got to see you.

Which...

They will be doing for the next 3 months.

You got the part.

You got it.

Oh.

Thank you so much.

Oh my god.

- Waiter.

We need a bottle.

Trista,

listen to me.

I wanted to tell you,

but you kept rushing me out.

Maybe you should have tried

before we slept together.

I know.

But I saw you,

and all these old feelings came back.

I was wrong.

And I told her I was wrong.

And now it's over.

Then why did it take you...

...10 months to come back here

and say all that?

Because I wanted to be clear

about how I felt.

So I wouldn't hurt you.

Again.

Damon,

I wanted to be married.

And this time

I'm not gonna assumed that

you want the same thing.

So.

Without a ring,

I really can't hear you.

Well, that's why I came here for.

I finally think I'm ready.

My office transferred me here,

and it seemed like a sign to do

what I should have done years ago.

Trista Miller.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

79 DAYS REMAINING

How did it go?

Everyone said I had the best costume,

so I get extra candy.

Too bad you can't eat all that.

Think about it this way.

You'll be the most popular boy

in school when you start giving it away.

Oh, thank you.

- I'm going to miss you.

Well,

Cory's just a flight away.

And luckily, you have a girlfriend.

- Yeah, I broke up with her.

All that stuff you said...

I didn't know you felt that way.

So I need to think.

And...

...can't do that with someone

else around. So...

She's gone now.

So much was going on

when you got pregnant.

I was in Med school.

And having a kid was...

- Yes, I...

Back then,

I wouldn't think about...

...us having a kid.

Sometimes I just wonder

what would happened if...

We were to met now.

We wouldn't have our college intuition

time bomb downstairs.

Yeah.

Come on.

Let me make you some tea.

Now remember.

I just had a heart attack.

This will be good for your heart.

Cory. What about Cory?

- Cory, that boy ought to be sleeping.

Hey.

- Hey.

I heard your girl got the part.

Congratulation, superstar.

Yeah,

thank you.

So, You're going to treat me

to dinner somewhere else this time?

Well, I...

I can't.

So.

I got engaged.

It just happened.

We're trying to do it by the end of the year.

The engagement dinner is next week, I... I...

I was going to send you an invitation.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

I'll...

I'll definitely keep an eye out for that.

61 DAYS REMAINING

Did I miss anything good?

Girl.

Mr marvelous is giving a toast.

May I have your attention, please?

Thank all of you for coming out.

But if you are still in Los Angeles

on Thanksgiving,

You had no plans anyway,

so we did you all a favor.

Why is she doing this again?

The Vow.

- The Vow.

You all got to stop her.

- Trista.

Baby,

You put up with so much for me.

And I know, every woman your age

had more choices you wouldn't have.

Really?

So you're here tonight.

So I guess I'm doing so far..

so good.

I wrote you a song about it.

Here's how it go.

Is he singing a song?

Is he really?

I never thought.

I could fall for you.

I didn't think.

You were my type.

But it looks like

I could be wrong

Baby,

Excuse me, ma'am,

I have an urgent call for you.

The shadows of doubt.

They still linger.

But they started to fade.

As each day.

As each day goes by.

I know that I...

...have been wrong before.

But I think this time

I'm gonna stay around for more...

So far...

So good...

I didn't think we could get along.

But you're still here...

So far...

So good...

Trista.

Oh god.

Nate, please give me a second.

Hey.

Please tell me you're not doing this.

Because of that stupid vow thing.

I'm not.

- Then why?

What is it?

You can barely breathe

with this guy around.

I have waited for this my whole life.

And I know that there was...

I was starting to feel something too. But...

I...

I can't wait anymore.

So I'm saying,

yes.

Because this might be

my last chance at happiness.

But you don't look happy.

- Would you just...

...leave me alone?

Let me just say this first.

Trista, happiness is not something

that happens down the road.

Happiness is now.

Or not at all.

And if your life is spend...

...waiting for something else

to happen to get you there.

You're not living.

And that's not happiness.

That's a boss that's never satisfied,

that will always have some other

stupid project for you to do...

...before it grants you you wish.

And that is not happiness.

This...

This is happiness.

Finally.

What took you so long?

I was with Kitty.

- You were with who?

We're not going to have a divorce,

Because if we did,

we are setting ourselves up

for a lot of public scrutiny

And we're not trying to do that right now.

Well.

There's no time like the present.

I was thinking about this.

How about,

me and you.

Let's go back to the way

it used to be, babe?

Oh, you mean like.

Sneaking around and pretending it's okay.

When you don't even

speak to me in public?

Ain't never happened.

- It did happened.

I was wrong for being with

you in the first place.

You were never wrong.

I was.

- What we do ain't wrong.

And this is a chance for me

to get my karma right.

What does karma got to do with this?

How about you, go back

to the way you used to be.

With someone else.

Because I'm done.

Amaya.

- I'm done.

Amaya.

- Kick rocks.

That is me, babe.

And this is me.

Goodbye.

What's going on?
