Going The Distance
For us to push back from the gate...
...make sure seatbelts are fastened...
...tray tables in their locked position,
and your luggage is completely stowed.
We'd like to thank you all for flying with us.
Welcome aboard....
Flight 82 to San
Francisco is ready for boarding at Gate...
Flight 63
to New York now boarding at Gate 41...
If you'd like to make a call...
- So...
- So...
- Happy birthday.
- Oh!
Thank you...
...for the takeout.
Sure.
It's your birthday.
- Heh. So?
- Oh, yeah, right.
But Dan's home
so we gotta go to the bedroom.
Oh. Are we done in here?
Yeah, well, we finished eating.
What?
I just thought
that this might be a great moment...
...for you to give me my gift.
Oh, sh*t.
Amy, I didn't get you anything.
You told me that you didn't want me
to get you anything.
What's happening? Oh, God.
- Are you crying?
- No.
I have missed something here, baby.
So you wanted a present?
Garrett,
I tell you not to get me something...
...so you want to get me something
really great...
...because I'm the girlfriend
that didn't ask for anything.
What? Okay, you know what, let's go.
I'll get you something now.
It is not about the goddamn gift.
It just was about the gift.
When did it become not about the gift?
It's bigger than this.
It's a combination of a lot of things.
I've invested so much in this relationship
and I don't feeI like you're doing the same.
I don't even know if you're into this.
Are you?
- Sure.
- Oh, my God.
Ah, Amy, come on.
- Don't even think about calling me again.
- Oh, Jesus. Amy, wait, wait, wait.
I should not call you
or I should want to call you?
Okay, so it means what it means. Good.
- Ow! Oh, my God. Mother b*tch.
- Erin, you're late.
Thanks, Brandy.
I almost forgot why I was running.
Did he use the red pen with you guys?
No.
- Well, it's impressive reporting.
- Thank you.
However,
needs to be completely restructured.
And a spellcheck wouldn't hurt.
"MunincibaI" courthouse?
Not sure where that is.
Thank you, ladies.
- Where are you going?
- I'm 31. I'm an intern.
- I'm going to get wasted.
- Oh, I'm so in.
Let's go.
I'd love a copilot. Look at this sh*t.
Oh, my God, he bled on it.
I still can't believe
she broke up with me.
- Of course she did, dumb-ass.
- Because I didn't get a gift?
It's not the gift.
- Don't think it's the gift.
- It's not.
know it's not about the gift?
- Oh. Dude, are you kidding me?
- All right, hang on a second, man.
I get it, all right?
It's a tough thing to get dumped.
You get upset, you go to your room,
you turn off all the lights...
...you light a candle
and you just, like you know...
...go to that deep emotionaI place
where you're like :
- Is that really how you cry?
Yes.
Have you cried?
- Uh, I didn't cry. I've never cried like that.
- I cry like that all the time.
I've only really cried over a girI
in, like, high schooI, maybe.
I don't know.
Maybe you weren't into that chick.
Because I didn't cry, it means I'm not-
No, I liked her. Of course I liked her.
And we were good together.
I don't know what happened.
- I don't know what happened.
Aw, dude.
- What?
You get in a relationship
but you don't fully commit.
You never have,
The girI figures that out and she splits.
And then we have to sit here
and listen to you be surprised about that.
- Over and over again. This happens a lot.
- All the time.
It's not true. It happens occasionally.
There's a definite pattern.
- Definite pattern.
You know what?
F*** you, f*** you.
- A lot of self-righteousness going on.
- You gonna cry it out?
I'm not crying, just gonna clear my head.
Clear your head, cry, same thing.
You know what I'm talking about
with the man cry.
Like that low, like:
I don't know. If you ask me, that looks
like you're trying to suck your own dick.
- That does not-
- Yes, it does.
If I wasn't making any noise...
...and you saw me like this,
what does it look like?
Looks like you're trying to suck your dick.
That's not how.
When I suck my dick, I lie on my back,
I throw my legs over my head.
- You suck your own dick?
- Yeah.
You cut your hair
and you suck your own dick.
You're like a Swiss army knife.
Hey, we should circulate.
There's hot guys everywhere.
You're being lame.
Get date-raped by a frat guy
with a popped collar?
No, thank you.
You are just jealous.
- More for you, baby.
Thank you.
Go have fun being in The Accused.
Hey.
- Hey.
I like your shirt.
- I know. It's Polo.
You smell good.
- It's Axe.
- I know.
You might as well remove that quarter.
I have no intention of getting off this game.
Listen-
- Oh, my God.
- What?
- Who does that?
- What the f***?
- What the f*** are you doing?
- What the f*** are you doing?
Who leans in like that?
I was just about to beat the high score.
There's no way you got that close to ERL.
You know how long
I've been trying to beat myself?
I mean, what a dick move.
Wait, what?
What the f-?
What? Hold on. Hold on. You're ERL?
You're the dragon?
I'm a what?
