Going The Distance Page #3

Synopsis: Erin has just six more weeks as an intern at the New York Sentinel before she returns to San Francisco. That's fine with Garrett since he just got out of a relationship. But their relationship blossoms and it quickly becomes something that they can't just drop in six weeks. They admit to wanting to be boyfriend/girlfriend just on opposite coasts. The distance wears on them, as with their nay-saying friends and sister, and soon they are forced to either break up or come up with a solution that has them living in the same city.

Is Top Gun like your favorite movie?

- It's up there. What's wrong with that?

- Nothing.

- It's the greatest.

- Yeah. It's awesome.

Wait, what's your favorite movie?

Actually, I'm gonna be really serious

right now for a minute.

- Okay, hold on.

- Ha-ha-ha.

I really wanna tell you

what my favorite movie is.

Oh, God. Please don't say, like,

Triumph of the Will.

Don't be like a closet Nazi

or something weird...

...because this is going great.

It's Shawshank.

I hope I make it across the border.

I hope to see my friend

and shake his hand.

I hope the Pacific is as blue

as it has been in my dreams.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- I hope.

- Zihuatanejo.

- Zihuatanejo.

The best.

Watching every motion

In my foolish lover's game

- Where's that coming from?

- Dan.

- How in the f*** is Top Gun music playing?

- Dan!

Hey, Garrett.

- I'm so sorry.

I forgot to tell you

that Dan's my roommate.

You guys live together?

- Uh, yeah.

- Hey, Dan!

Hello in there.

- Heh.

- Uh...

Dan, what are you doing?

Watching every motion

in my foolish lover's game?

What was our rule?

Because I can hear through the wall

doesn't mean I get to participate.

Right,

and what were you doing just now?

Participating.

- Okay.

Look, man, I just thought maybe,

you know, it'd be fun if I DJ'd your hookup.

So is this, like, what you guys do

when you bring girls over?

- He DJs your hookup?

- No.

Is that what this f***ing frat house

is all about?

No, no. Listen, I'm really sorry.

- I'm gonna go.

- Listen, listen, listen. I can explain.

Yeah? Explain.

You know what? I can't. I really have

no save here. He is a f***ing moron.

That's okay, because, you know what?

I was totally pretending to be mad.

I didn't want you to think I was slutty.

- I don't care.

- Oh.

- Think it's kind of awesome.

- Well, that's weird.

- In fact, Dan, take me to Berlin.

Here it comes!

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Hey. Morning.

Good morning.

Um, if you're taking off, could you at least

leave the money on the nightstand?

Oh. I wasn't, um, trying to sneak out.

No. You're just putting your clothes on

really quietly...

...and tiptoeing across the floor.

- Yeah.

- It's all right.

I can stay.

- I didn't mean you had to-

- Okay, yeah.

That didn't feeI good.

Hey, hey.

You wanna maybe get some breakfast?

Food would be good.

Okay.

Now I've had the time of my life

No, I've never felt

- Dan.

Hello.

I had a great time last night.

I gotta say, that was- It's a lot of fun.

Me too.

So I should get your number.

You know, we'd maybe hang out again?

- Okay.

- All right. I have a nap- No.

- Here, I got it.

- Okay.

- Um, there's a caveat that...
