of the sea breeze.

Now, these are the girls' drinks,

all right?

Now, the secret is...

they can't taste

the vodka

because it's mostly grapefruit,

understand?

It tastes like nothing,

you know?

Sonny...

Hi.

I love this one

of the monument.

Thank you very much.

The way you get the line

of the shadow...

That's a masterpiece.

It's really good.

Very kind of you.

Sonny, that looks just like

the monument.

You know, Buddy...

Great art, it sneaks up on you.

You have to let it soak in

a little bit, study it.

Right, yeah. Yeah.

Do you know, uh,

Gunner learned zen in japan.

Oh. That's not all he learned.

I love you, Sonny.

Me, too.

What are you talking about?

I don't wanna

be like some teenager...

parking and making out

at a golf course.

This look like a goddamn

golf course?

We're still hiding out.

Well, where do

you wanna do it?

In my own house.

In your own house.

Well, that's great.

With your parents upstairs?

I mean, my own house.

Goddamn it.

I wanna get married.

Gunner, my mother was 22

when she had me.

I'm almost 23 years old,

for God's sake.

It's time for me

to have kids.

I want a family.

Deedee, you know...

I just got home, you know?

I don't even know

what I wanna do yet.

Here, you want a puff of that?

I want children...

more than anything in the world.

You know that.

You're an adult, Gunner.

What are you waiting for?

Deed's,

I don't know much right now.

I just...

The only thing

I know is...

I love to do it

with you,

and you like it,

and I like it.

So come on...

let's do it.

Oh, I love you, Sonny.

Me, too.

I feel sorry for Deedee.

How come?

He's never going

to marry her.

She was just

his girlfriend...

in high school,

that's all.

You know, it's not...

Is that what I am?

What?

What do you

want me to say?

What would you

like me to say?

Nothing. I would just like to know

what your plans are.

I don't know!

I don't... I don't...

I don't... I...

I don't want anything.

OK, I won't ask.

'Cause every time I ask,

it turns into this.

No, no.

I mean, I don't...

I don't...

All right.

I don't even know.

Don't be angry, OK?

I'm not.

Will you call me?

Yeah, I'll call you.

Will you?

Yes, yes, I will.

I will call you,

I will.

I'll call you

on the phone...

OK, fine, all right.

I will.

I'm sorry.

I'll call you.

Sonny?

It's like

this deep new book I'm reading...

Called A Lonely Crowd,

right?

And I'm realizing that I've always

been kind of...

more of an outer

directed guy, right?

Right.

And now as

time goes on,

I'm kind of becoming

more inner directed...

and not giving

a sh*t so much...

what the crowd think.

You mean what

the lonely crowd thinks?
