Hey, Katie.
How you been? Sorry,
it's been a while,
I've been really busy.
Oh, yeah. That's okay.
I've been busy too.
I'm good.
How's the new job?
It's good.
I mean, it's moma. So...
You know, but I'm really
Pointing directions,
it's not exactly curating.
You think you'll stay?
Yeah, maybe, we'll see.
How have you been?
Good.
Good. I was kind of
all over the place.
I was out of town for a while.
Then just really busy trying to
keep up with everything.
Well, that's good, right?
Yeah.
Listen, Katie...
with you...
Oh, I just I felt like
I needed to tell you...
And I'm sorry I haven't been around a
lot, I haven't been avoiding you.,
or anything, I promise.
It's just...
I don't think
we should see each other,
or whatever, any more.
You know it's just...
And I'm just
in such a weird place right now,
in my life, and I feel like
things are going a certain way
that I need to nip it in the bud
before it gets too serious, you know?
And listen, honestly,
this has nothing to do with you.
Or, wait, I mean.
That isn't what I mean.
What I mean is...
This isn't because there's something wrong
with you or something I don't like.
All right, there isn't.
I mean, I like you.
I really do.
And you're smart, and fun,
and funny. Beautiful.
And I'm basically being a selfish idiot
right now and if you told me that
I'll regret this
and I'm making a mistake,
I probably wouldn't argue
with you.
Yeah, but that's part of
what I'm saying.
You know,
since we get along really well,
and haven't been any problems or anything,
I just think it's going in a certain way.
In a certain, more serious way.
And that's the natural thing
to happen, it's just not...
Where I want to be going
with my life right now.
More coffee?
We're fine, thanks.
I'm sorry.
What were you saying?
I just, uh...
I didn't say anything.
I didn't ask you to be
in a relationship with me.
I didn't put
any pressure on you even.
I know. And you weren't clingy
or possessive.
Or anything bad. I know.
You know, but that doesn't mean the
seriousness wasn't there, it was creeping up.
I don't think you can deny that. It just
creeps up after a certain amount of time.
Yeah, but I don't understand. Can't
we just keep the status quo?
I don't think
there is any such thing.
Things are changing all the time
and I can just see...
Our trajectment in this
is not where I want to be going.
I don't want to be
in a relationship.
I'm not asking you to be.
But you want to.
Says who?
I'm sorry.
I don't mean to... Put feelings
on you I just think...
That we've gotten really close really
fast over the past few weeks so...
I don't want to be close.
With me.
No, with anyone.
But how can you say that?
You can't just remove me
from this like that.
You, you don't want to be
with me.
You don't know everybody.
You haven't met everybody.
If you meet someone tomorrow,
fall head over heels with her,
and want to be with her.
I guess.
I doubt it.
I'm looking for a very specific
thing, I know what it is, or...
You know...
Gonna know when I see it and...
I don't see it.
A thing?
Come on, you know what I mean.
No, I don't, James.
I really don't. I...
Is it love?
Are you looking for love?
Do you know that word?
Now, that's what I'm trying
to avoid.
Somebody being in it
with me, anywhere.
But if you were...
If you were, like,
in love with me...
You wouldn't stop yourself.
You couldn't.
- I guess that's true.
- Yeah.
- What do you want me to say?
- I want you to shut the f*** up.
I want this conversation
to never have happened.
But since it has happened, since we
can't go back in f***ing time, I...
I want you to talk to me
like a man.
Throw me in the garbage
like you want to, instead of...
Talking around it, and acting
like you're doing me a favor.
I want you to tell me
that you don't love me,
or like me all that much really.
And that you never will.
I don't. I never will.
Fine.
Katie, wait.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Go, bro. Go, bro. Go, bro.
Oh, sh*t.
Monica!
Hey!
Monic...
Hey.
Hey.
You found me.
Thank, god. I was so scared.
It's okay.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Goddamn it.
There should be sign that says,
"no f***in'."
- You guys need to get off my f***ing
bus right now. -Whoa, sorry.
I'm sorry. Okay, really,
I apologize.
- But, we're newlyweds.
- What?
Look, please don't kick us out. We're in the
middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.
It's dangerous.
All right? Please.
You can't f***.
We're not... we're not f***ing.
Okay? We're...
Look. Hey, look,
I'll sit over here.
Okay? I'm sitting over here.
Okay? Is that okay?
All right, I guess so.
- Come on.
- I'm fine.
Hold on.
F***!
- Are you serious?
- I must have left them upstairs.
Damn it.
I'm sorry.
Not out here.
- It's not lady-like.
James, no!
We're not f***ing outside
on the street, okay?
Okay.
Fine, I'll climb
the fire escape.
James, no. You're crazy.
Where's your place?
It's far.
Well, can't you call someone?
Who, it's four in the morning.
Hold on, I got a missed call.
- Yeah, it's from me.
- No.
Hey!
It's me. Sorry, I was out.
I'm locked out.
Are you home?
Okay.
I'll be right there.
Sorry, dude.
Gotta go to bed.
I can't go adventuring with you for
another hour to find your place.
