Okay. Ian, calm down.

Calm down.

Look, you're very prepared for today

and you're gonna be great.

Don't go anywhere.

What are you doing?

Sit, don't move your cute

British butt. Don't look.

- There's a gift.

- There's a gift.

This can't be happening.

Well, of course it can.

I like buying things for you,

and I wanna say goodbye properly.

Portobello road.

Plus, look at this.

Oh, my God!

Okay, not the reaction I was looking for.

I'm sorry, I just... I had a terrible

nightmare. And I can't seem to...

I can't seem to get rid of it.

I... and you...

We?

We...

should... eat?

Yes, yes! We should have breakfast.

Let's have breakfast, together.

Okay.

Oh, I am the coolest.

Samantha?

Samantha! Watch out, the coffee pot!

I see it, Crazy Yelling Man.

I know, I just thought

you might hurt yourself.

Sam?

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I too loud?

No. I was actually hoping

that you'd sing.

Oh, you need to get out more.

You are a great songwriter.

And you need to let people see that.

It's an amazing gift.

You're biased.

That's true.

Oh, God, I am such a klutz.

You burned yourself on the hand.

Keen powers of observation.

Ian, what is wrong with you?

I burn myself with that damn thing

every other day.

You do?

Yes, I do.

What are you doing?

We always go that way.

And do you know why?

Why?

Because that's where

you work and I teach.

Let's try a new way. Loop around.

It might be fun!

I like this route better, don't you?

Care to explain?

I just thought the scooter

seemed a little... speedy.

Watch where you're going!

You've got to be kidding me.

It wasn't a dream.

What?

All these things that are happening today,

every single one,

I already knew they would happen.

What do you mean?

The leather jacket. The burn.

The Coca Cola spilled on your sweater.

I already saw or dreamt those things.

Some happened a little differently, but...

Okay Ian, calm down. You know,

sometimes I've had deja vu, and it...

But it's not deja vu.

In deja vu...

it feels like it's already happened.

You don't know what's going to happen.

Alright. What happened in the dream

that freaked you out so badly?

It was...

It was awful.

Okay. Let's be logical about this.

In your dream or vision, or whatever,

what happens next?

You go back to the apartment to wash

your sweater and I go to my meeting.

That is awful?

On the way to my meeting

my watch cracks.

Okay. So here's what we're gonna do.

We'll walk to your office together.

And if your watch cracks...

then we'll know something is going on,

and we'll deal with it.

Okay?

Almost there.

We're holding hands.

I like holding hands.

Me too.

Do you have the time?

Sorry. Watch. Sore subject.
