without a phone...

Yeah.

So I don't really have, I'm

trying this no-phone thing so.

But yeah, but I'll see you...

No, no, no, please just

stop walking around,

and walking everywhere

like that, just...

- I'm not a violent person, I swear.

- Okay.

- No, ah, Emily, I'm not.

- I believe you.

- I know what you must think of me, I know.

- I believe you.

But I'm not, okay, I'm not.

Why did you do that then?

I don't know, I didn't even

think to do it, I just, I just,

it's not something

I even thought about.

It's a bit of a hard

time of year for me.

What does that mean?

Nothing.

Why won't you tell me?

I don't think I can do this.

Okay.

Is that what you want?

Okay.

I'm confused, Nick.

I'm just not really

used to this.

I'm not really

good at it, you know?

Mm-hm.

Em, I had a really nice

time with you today.

I had a really good day.

It was really fun.

I know I shouldn't have...

Em, you didn't do anything.

I got ex...

I got nervous.

Emily, it was my fault.

Are we gonna

continue to see each other?

Mm-hm.

Can we not see anybody else?

If you were seeing

someone else right now,

I'd throw her into a volcano.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

My dad won't be home until late.

Em.

You're beautiful.

You're so, so beautiful.

You're so very beautiful.

Shh.

Em, em please.

Beautiful man.

Shut up.

You are beautiful.

What is this, Nick?

This right here?

Hmm?

What is it, Nick?

It's a date.

What date?

What date?

Em, my brother disappeared

5 years ago.

My little brother.

On the way to school one day.

And that's the date,

that's the date that

it happened.

You have to meet my dad.

My dad would love you, Nick.

I wanna show you

a painting, Nick.

I have to show you

a painting, Nick.

I have to show you a painting.

Will you marry me?

Sure, I'll marry you.

Okay, what if I'm serious, Nick?

Ahh!

Don't you think we

should wait a little bit?

Why?

Nick, why?

Because that's what people do.

What do we care what people do?

- We don't.

- No.

Serious?

You serious?

Yes.

No. No.

I know, I'm sorry,

Princess nut bucket, I know.

You can go if you want to.

Why would I want to

go, I don't wanna go.

Good.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Just get the jitters

sometimes, that's all.

But they're gone now, it's okay.

Why do you get

the jitters sometimes?

Why do you get

the jitters sometimes?

'Cause I'm

rapid cycling bipolar 1.

I'm rcbp1.

I'm like a poorly

assembled robot.

I think you're wonderful.

And I adore you, em.

Where you

calling me from this time?

I'm actually calling you

from my apartment.

Well, settling down, son?

Sure, mum, whatever you say.

And to what do I owe

the pleasure?

Uh.

Hm?

Kinda seeing someone, I suppose.
