sandwich bag. I didn't mean to.

Actually, that's not true, I did.

Sorry. I'm really nervous.

It's okay. I'm sorry he bothered you.

I was not nervous because of him.

Okay. Bye.

She is so...

Beautiful.

Kim, come on, the wedding's in an hour.

You gotta get ready.

So... have you ever dreamt about me?

- Dreamt about you?

- Yeah.

You know, in the 700

plus days we've dated.

You ever dreamt about me?

So... Yeah, of course.

Oh, yeah? Like, uh, sex dreams?

At first, but then we had

sex, and that went away.

Ha. Is that how you

really wanna say that?

So I was all hot to trot for you

or whatever in the beginning.

And now, you know, reality has set in.

But that's not what I

meant. I meant like...

A dream, like ambiguous depictions

of what we are or were, or could be.

Stuff like that.

Can you stop already? I got it.

Why, I oughta...

- Oh, hey, whoo.

Put that down. You're

gonna hurt yourself.

- What are you doing?

- I'm a give you what for.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You good?

Okay. Okay.

That was fun.

Does it bother you that

you don't make me happy?

- Always with the jokes.

- I'm serious.

Seriously? You went from sex

dreams to not being happy?

False. I wasn't talking

about sex dreams, you were.

And secondly, I'm a girl,

so yes, we non-sequitur.

- That's a little cliched.

- I want a baby.

Point taken.

Seriously. Don't you want a baby?

Someday, sure.

But let's burn that bridge

when we get to it, okay?

See? Not making me happy.

How do you do that? How do you do that?

Oh, my God. She's beautiful.

She's beyond beautiful.

And she's real.

She seems funny, too.

And there's a hint of

crazy, I can feel it.

Beautiful, crazy, and funny.

Jesus Christ. She's perfect.

It's really annoying. Really...

That's two near collisions

for you now in a row.

Well, at least this one's nonfatal.

Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Bye.

- Uh, yeah.

What the f*** was that?

Wait. Wait.

What are we doing?

Are we in a chase scene

now? What are we doing?

Wait, just stop for a second.

So I thought I saw

somebody, a friend of mine

behind you coming over.

So that's why I turned

around and waited.

So what's the big deal?

It wasn't because you were watching me?

Because it looked like

you were kinda watching me.

No, it was because of a friend

that was behind you.

So they're not there now obviously.

Besides, you were being weird.

You were talking to yourself.

What were you saying anyway?

You say "so" a lot.

It's really annoying.

So...

Are you trying to make this awkward now?

- It feels awkward now.

- Awkward feels good to me.

And awkward feels awkward to me.

That's a little on the

nose, don't you think?
