Forgetting the Girl Page #2

F***ing brain...

Hey.

Hi.

Do you wanna go camping?

Uh, Derek and me were...

Derek and I are going camping,

and we want you to go.

And I was thinking you could do

some of your nature photography.

You know, if you don't want to,

that is totally fine.

Please tell me

you're kidding, right?

Yeah. I was kidding.

You're kidding.

Yeah. I got you.

You got me.

I'm going to go set up now.

Okay.

Do you have

any pictures to show me?

Nah.

You never show me

your pictures.

They're just girls.

They're just...

head shots.

They're boring, Ruby.

They'd bore you.

Girls are nice.

You wouldn't like 'em.

Trust me, Ruby.

You wouldn't like any of 'em.

They're not dirty pictures,

are they?

Come on.

I've seen those magazines. I know what all

kinds of pictures they have out there.

They're not dirty.

You're taking dirty pictures!

You are crazy, Ruby.

You are a crazy old woman.

You shouldn't call me Ruby.

You should call me Grandma.

Ruby, can I see

the pictures of Nicole?

She wasn't supposed to be

called "Nicole," you know,

because that was

your mother's name.

I know.

But when she died,

we thought it was fitting.

Just a newborn baby,

and a little girl and all.

Such a pretty little baby.

It was fitting she should

have your mother's name.

Oh, your mother...

I guess it was just

one of those things.

They said they

couldn't have known.

And I thought I could console

myself with little Nicole.

You're all I've got left.

F***.

It's not that you're

a bad guy or anything.

I mean, you seem like

you're really nice.

It's just...

I don't know...

like you seem

kind of like, um...

You know, like, with

the whole connection thing?

And then, plus, the mood

that I was in when we...

You know, um, I was kind of

acting something out.

I mean, you... you asked me out,

you know.

Why would you ask me out?

I mean, I don't...

I'm sorry.

It's not something that you

should do lightly, you know.

You know what?

Thank you for the head shots.

I, uh... Yeah, I have some, uh,

extra prints in here, if you want them.

And I ended up using one of them,

actually, for my flyer.

I hope that doesn't bother you.

Oh, no, it's fine.

And these are fine.

Yeah.

Um...

It is fine. It's gonna be fine.

It's totally fine.

It's, uh... Don't even

feel bad about it.

You know,

I know a lot of girls.

Um, it's just...

I felt... I felt like

we had a, uh...

Hey, Kevin.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

You know when you're in a museum

and you're looking at a painting,

and it's really

freaking you out?

It's all jagged and awful,

and it gets inside you?

Then you just turn your head

and walk through the door...

into another room
