Paper Heart Page #3

where we may not even be using

rational behaviors

and things like that.

Do you think some people

can be born without those chemicals?

I think, not the chemicals

but the processing of them...

that's exactly right.

But I think it would not be unusual

or abnormal to think

that there are some people...

the chemistry is such

that it's difficult for them

to love someone else.

I wonder if that's

what's wrong with me.

Oh, I don't think so.

You seem like a very

pleasant person, right?

If love is such a strong emotion...

probably because it provides us

with something good.

How does that benefit us

evolutionarily?

Offspring.

It's kind of hard to tell...

do we really perceive

that what we're trying to do

is to successfully rear offspring,

or do we view love

as the end-all and be-all?

There are plenty of couples

who love each other

very much

who don't have

kids of their own.

- Yeah.

- And they stay married

even though they know forthem

there's no reproductive benefit.

You know, I'd also want

to be careful

not to get so scientific

that we forget about just the pure joy

and maybe the mystical

aspects of love.

There's something...

there is something there.

There may be evolutionary

mechanisms

and there are certainly

biochemical mechanisms,

but somehow

there's a little bit of magic to it too.

- Hey.

- Nice to see you.

I always think that if I was in love

I would be married by now.

But I'm not.

Well, have you ever said

"I love you" to somebody?

I'm pretty quick to say "I love you"

just 'cause I feel like

I don't want them to run away.

Really?

- Yeah, I fell like...

- Does it work or does it scare them?

Well, I'm single, so I don't know.

What are you guys filming?

A documentary.

What is it about?

It's about me.

Your life?

No, it's about

how I don't believe in love.

Cool. Awesome.

Are you interviewing people

tonight for it?

- Or what are you filming tonight?

- Some people.

Oh, nice.

Do you want to be

interviewed, Mike?

No. Will this be in the movie...

this scene?

- Probably not.

- Yeah.

How long have you played

guitar for?

How do you know I play guitar?

You don't play?

I do.

I thought you did.

Well, how have you been, man?

Good. I'm glad you're here.

It's good to see you.

- It's really good seeing you.

- Yeah, I haven't seen you

since probably when we were

playing Frisbee.

I don't think I've played

since we played.

Yeah, this is cool.

How do you guys know each other?

I saw her do a show about,

probably, a year ago,

- and we just started hanging out.

- Started talking? Cool.

She's cool, man.

How do you know Chuck?

I don't... I've never...
