JESSE:

(laughing)

Okay, okay. Well, we are shitty

parents.

CELINE:

I know.

JESSE:

Saying goodbye to Hank sucked.

CELINE:

Why, was he upset?

JESSE:

No, no. He said it was the best

summer of his life.

CELINE:

Well, that's great!

CELINE (CONT'D)

I mean, I wouldn't worry too much

about him. We spoke a bunch, and

you know what his main concerns in

life are?

JESSE:

What?

CELINE:

Pimples and how girls perceive him.

The apple doesn't fall far from the

tree, I guess.

JESSE:

What do you mean? I'm not like that.

CELINE:

Oh, please!

JESSE:

What?

CELINE:

That's all you think about!

JESSE:

What?

CELINE:

Women! I mean--I'm not complaining.

I'm getting a lot of attention. But

you never stop ogling girls.

JESSE:

I don't ogle girls.

CELINE:

Yeah you do.

JESSE:

I don't ogle girls!

(sexy Spanish accent)

I make love to them with my eyes.

CELINE:

Oh, wow.

JESSE:

Yeah.

CELINE:

I like the Spanish guy. Or is it

Greek?

JESSE:

(Spanish accent)

I don't know where I'm from, but I'm

very hairy.

CELINE:

(laughs)

Well, I think... You know, Henry

might have, you know.

JESSE:

What?

CELINE:

That little Melina girl.

JESSE:

I don't know. He had a crush but...

CELINE:

Oh, are you kidding?

JESSE:

What?

CELINE:

Why do you think he said it was the

best summer of his life?

JESSE:

Because he and I had a good time

together?

CELINE:

Jesse...

JESSE:

No, huh? So what, you think they...

you think they what-

CELINE:

Of course.

JESSE:

You think they kissed?

CELINE:

Yeah, they kissed! Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I was sworn to secrecy but he

told me. They kissed. Okay.

JESSE:

What'd he say?

17.

CELINE:

I'm not supposed to tell you anything,

so I'm not gonna talk but-

JESSE:

Come on.

CELINE:

Okay. He told me he was worried you

know, concerned about the kissing.

You know, tongue, no tongue.

JESSE:

What, he asked you that?

CELINE:

Yeah. But he was so - he was so

cute. All nervous, all red, biting

his cheek like when he was little.

So cute.

JESSE:

Wow. So he and Melina were a real

thing.

CELINE:

Yeah.

JESSE:

What's gonna happen now?

CELINE:

I don't know. They must be friends

on Facebook, so they'll keep in touch,

at least for a while.

JESSE:

Hey - what if they end up spending

their whole life together? You know?

CELINE:

You're so corny! Sometimes I'm just

like

JESSE:

No, I just - I mean
