In Search of a Midnight Kiss

(man) The midnight kiss.
It's not just another kiss.
It's all the hope of romance of the year
culminating in just one moment.
And that overhyped kiss,
in which there is so much calling, texting,
IMing, planning, hurrying, drinking
to make happen,
is all set at a moment
when time itself takes center stage,
when you can feel the weight
of the year to come,
mixed with the loneliness and missed
opportunities of the years gone by.
For years,
I used to work at a video store,
and on New Year's, I would always deal
with what I thought were my people -
those broken-hearted souls that hated
the whole pageantry of the night,
the ones who wanted to quietly
and privately wallow in self-pity,
getting drunk on the fictional romance
and heartbreak of others.
That was me -
the lonely, hunkered-down type,
waiting for the night to blow over.
But some times are so low, you can
no longer follow that routine anymore.

(grunting)
- Oh, jeez, I'm sorry,
- God! I didn't know you guys were here,
- It's all right, Don't worry about it,
- I thought you guys were at Min's house,
Yeah, we got home early,
- Don't worry about it, It's OK, man,
- I'm really embarrassed,
Don't be, Everybody jerks off,
It's natural,
I had no idea you guys were even here,
We just got home at four, Don't even worry
about it, man, It's, uh, you know...
Hey, what the f*ck is this?
No, i-i-it's...
Oh, f*ck!
- It's that Min?
- No, it's nothing!
I'll explain that in a second,
Just don't go in there,
- It looks just like her,
- No, it's not Min,
- Well, what is this?
- I'll explain in a second,
Hey, Min, get in here,
I need to ask you a question,
- No, no! Come on! Jacob...
- What is that? Is that you?
(Wilson) God! No, Jacob!
Come on, man!
- Is that you?
- No,
What do you mean? That's definitely you!
That's not you?
- No, that...
- Are you sure that's not you?
(Min) No, it's not,
- (Jacob) Positive?
- (Min) It's not me!
Just give it to me straight,
If that's you... It doesn't matter,

that should just die and not be buried,
I can't even get a job in this town,
- You just need to get laid,
- I'm trying!
Hitting on the girl at the grocery store when
you buy your tub of Chunky Monkey?
You don't see it, You're not around,
I put myself out there,
All you've done is sit around, eat ice cream
and fucking smoke bong after bong,
You haven't even looked for work, man,
If you just wanna sit there and stare
out the window and smoke your cigarettes,
jack off to pictures of my girlfriend
on New Year's, be my guest,
Jacob, leave him alone,
I thought it was sweet,
Oh, God,
You thought it was sweet
that he jacked off to pictures of you?
- I thought it was really flattering,
- You are the cutest thing in the world,
Oh, my God!
- Ohh, God, What is this?
- (giggles)
- We can give him some more material,
- Stop kissing me,
- Dude, quit!
- OK,
(man) Well, it's just the whole world
that I find depressing right now,
Just the wars and the lies
and Columbine and George Bush...
(Jacob) Columbine was ten years ago!
(man) I'm just saying,
there's so much hatred and violence,
(Jacob) If you really wanna meet
somebody pretty and cool, you can do that,
All you gotta do, my friend,
is put an ad up on the Craigslist,
