Stuck in Love
I remember that it hurt.
Looking at her hurt.
Your... your... your nose.
Oh, oh, it does that sometimes.
- Hey.
- Hi.
I'm always waiting
for whatever's next.
I think everyone's like that...
living life in fast forward,
never stopping to
enjoy the moment,
too busy trying to rush
through everything,
so we can get on with what we're really
supposed to be doing with our lives.
clarity, brilliant clarity,
where, for a second,
I stop and I think,
"Wait, this is it.
"This is my life. I'd better
slow down and enjoy it,
"because one day, we're all
going to end up in the ground,
"and that will be it.
We'll be gone.
Um... what?
Let's just fast forward through all
the drunken seduction bullshit...
we have to look forward to.
You don't look like you'd
be very good at it anyway,
and I don't want to sit here and listen
to you bumblefuck your way through it.
We both want the same thing,
to go back to your room, have sex,
and never see each other again.
Are you with me?
Is this a trick?
No, no, I'm in.
I'm definitely in.
Do you like that book?
No, God, no.
No, it's my idiot brother's
favorite book.
Is it yours?
No, no.
It's my roommate's.
I'm not really much of a reader.
Good.
Now come here.
Yes, ma'am.
through the window
into my ex- wife's new life,
I was overcome by the
oddest sensation.
Watching her with this man was
like turning on a familiar sitcom
and realizing they had replaced one
of the lead actors with a stranger.
The show was the same, but the
thespian who played William Borgens
for nearly twenty years was gone.
And in his place was a
younger, dumber model.
What was that, boy?
Oh, shit.
Down! Heel! Fucking dog!
Rusty...
Oh yeah.
There you go.
You got that bowl?
Hey!
Just rock it on there.
Get him on there.
Gentle, gentle.
There you go.
Got it?
Don't push that hard.
All right.
There we go.
Yeah.
Dad, she's here.
Ready?
Hi, I'm back.
Dad...
Smells good.
Well, they said that you
have to go back there?
They just said that I think you
might have to end up paying for it.
No, but they're going to cancel
the whole thing? The appointment?
Yeah, they're canceling it.
It's over, basically...
My book is being published!
Oh, my God.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thanks, Dad.
Oh, my God.
We're so proud of you.
What house is it?
Scribner.
What?
That's King's publisher.
Yeah,no, they're great.
Great.
We got to have a toast. We have
to have a toast. Scribner?
Yeah, that's exactly what I was
thinking when I submitted the book.
This will really piss
Rusty off.
It's not because they publish books
by Hemingway or Kurt Vonnegut.
David McCullough, Frank McCourt.
F. Scott Fitzgerald,
Bob fucking Dylan.
I didn't know you had
dibs on Scribner.
I never said I had dibs, Samantha.
I just was...
You're just jealous.
Wow.
I'm not jealous.
What an accomplishment.
Your sister is having her first
book published, all right?
This is a cause for celebration.
This is what the holidays
are all about.
Okay, cool.
You might want to congratulate her.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Geez, I didn't have my first
book published until...
I don't know.
I was 25 or 26.
I would have been happy
to call those guys.
I know them all over there.
I submitted it under a fake name
and didn't tell them whose
daughter I was
until after was accepted.
I wouldn't have minded.
I know. I just... Because you
wanted it to be about your book
