Careful What You Wish For Page #4

Hey, this is ridiculous.

- This is the sound of desperation.

- Yeah, desperation.

- Please don't go all Viagra commercial on me.

- Oh, Dougie.

Don't forget to tip the help.

My husband sent me to see how

you're coming along with the boat.

Show me what you've done inside.

- Shut that, would you?

- Yeah.

- I thought about you all week.

- Me, not at all.

It must be amazing to know how to sail.

My grandfather taught me. When I was

little, he told me about this kid,

Robin Lee Graham, who sailed all around the

world, all by himself. Left when he was 16.

Didn't come back for like, five years.

When do we set sail?

Come on, what's stopping you?

- Well, we-we're on a lake.

- True.

I've always... dreamed of just disappearing.

Just take off, relax, throw caution to the wind.

That is not my specialty.

Trust me, it's easy.

You just... leave everything behind.

Lena! Come on.

Hey, what'd I tell ya? I got a

good feelin' about tonight.

You know, that's what's

incredible about you, Carson.

You always have a good feeling.

You are undeterrable.

Thank you.

Elliot.

Right now. I can't wait.

Are you crazy? Elliot's right out front!

Lena?

Don't move.

Lena?

Oh, there you are. Hurry and finish up.

I'm gonna grab a smoke.

I'm done, just let's get home.

Hey!

I need a word, immediately. Doug, get down here!

This hasn't been caulked thoroughly.

Just one oversight, like that, one

leak... and the whole thing rots.

OK.

Just don't be lazy, Doug. Anything

worth doing's worth doing all the way.

You're right. I'm sorry.

I gotta go out of town again tonight.

I'm workin' on a deal for a micro-brewery.

You travel a lot.

You know why I'm givin' you a hard time, Dougie?

You're not like these kids down here,

just cruisin' through town, partying.

I like that. You take things seriously.

I think I give you a hard time,

because you remind me of me.

Gettin' ahead... takes, uh... sweat... focus.

Then, when you think you get there, and you,

you think you got somebody to... share it with,

you get some respect, some appreciation...

Well, maybe you have to treat someone

right, for them to appreciate you.

Fix the floor, Dougie.

Who wants Oreos?

- What's all this?

- It's a bed picnic.

It's been so long, since I've been this happy.

- Then, why do you look so sad?

- Oh...

I dunno.

I can't help but feel like... like

I'm stealing away your youth.

Are you kidding me? It's the best youth ever.

What's this?

Yeah, when you're young, you don't realize

the permanence of your decisions.

First love...

feels so big.

- What, there was a matching one?

- Mm-hm, they fit together.

Pretty dumb, I know, because, of course, it winds
