I saw him.

Just like you said,

he had his newspapers right there and

I went up asked him for his sugar.

And he pretended to

read his newspapers.

And he got up and came over to me

and asked me if I was a student.

And I said that I was studying language,

like you told me to, Japanese.

And he asked me if I could

say something in Japanese,

which made me blush.

And I ended up just saying, "Konichiwa."

And then he asked me

what my name was and I said Chloe.

Okay. That's okay.

Nothing happened.

Except that he approached you

and he spoke to you.

Pretty girl, cafe...

He barely flirted.

He was just friendly.

He's cute.

How do you do this?

I try to find something to

love in everybody.

Even if it's a small thing.

Something about

the way someone smiles.

There's always something.

There has to be.

I try to make myself generous.

I do things I don't want to do.

I think about

what not to criticize.

And the strangest things

come back to me.

Like?

You.

Me?

Yeah.

Yeah, people like you

walk into my life.

The money's in the envelope.

I want to do this one more time

just to see what he does.

And then we'll stop, okay?

Okay.

Look, Michael, it's not like

we're engaged. Okay?

If there are other guys,

it's got nothing to do with you.

Alright. I need to see you, okay?

This... this is weird.

You are seeing me.

I mean... I mean face-to-face.

This is... this is f***ed.

I know but, look, we are

face-to-face. Let's just...

Look, people don't just break up

with each other out of nowhere, okay?

I know there's someone else.

I just... I don't think that...

Graduation's coming up, you know, Michael.

I just... I don't want to feel

tied down by you or anything.

F***! Mom!

Who were you on with?

One of my students.

We were done anyway.

Our little boy's being dumped.

How do you know?

I don't know

what bothers me more--

that he's sleeping with her

or that he isn't.

Did you speak to him?

He doesn't talk to me.

Catherine,

this is going to be okay.

I don't know how to be

his mother anymore.

He's going to be fine.

He's in therapy.

He's going to be?

Did you know his girlfriend

was sleeping over?

Come on.

You remember what it was like.

Hey! What do you say we...

what do you say we taste this?

No. I... I have a headache.

- Well, take an Advil.

- I did.

Take 2.

Boy.

Nectar.

Thank you for the scotch.

And thank you

for defecting party.

I love your smile.

No, you don't.

When did we stop picking

each other up at the airport?

I don't know.

And waiting for each other

at the gate?

I'm trying to remember when...

when it happened.

When they upped security.

I'm serious.

I don't know.

We just got so busy.
