conference is done.

What are you still doing here?

- I thought I'd stay for

the weekend, see the sights.

- Why'd you check

out of your hotel?

- They put us up in a real dive.

I'll find a new one later.

- Don't be stupid,

you can stay in mine.

- Or I could do that.

- Close your eyes.

- How would I see?

- Use that noggin of yours.

- All right.

- Remember when you were a kid?

- Yeah, I think I was there.

- Picture it.

Remember the first time

you went to the ocean.

Your loss of virginity.

First thing you regretted.

Your first heartbreak.

Open your eyes.

What color did you see?

- What color?

- Yeah, sometimes your

dreams and memories

associate to a particular color.

- Blue.

- Blue?

- Mhm.

- Interesting.

- What's it mean?

- Well, sometimes, blue can

typically be associated with

loyalty, truth, wisdom...

- Hey.

- Openness, heaven,

and tranquility.

- Your turn.

- Nope, I am the

psychoanalyzer here.

- Close your eyes.

- Then how would I see?

- Just do it.

- Remember your first crush.

First kiss.

First time you were

alone and scared.

Remember prom and cigarettes.

Cats, the salon.

Your nephew, first time you

got flowers, disappointment.

Remember the last time

you played the piano.

The first time I held your hand.

The drinking contest.

The air mattress.

Right now, and the future.

What did you see?

- Let's keep going.

Peering through the window

Watching you outside

You tear off your shirt

With sweat dripping

down your side

And I know you think of me

- Can I ask you

something serious?

- Yeah.

- You sure?

- I think so.

- Okay.

Do you want to...

Share some mozzarella

sticks with me?

- You a**hole,

I thought you were gonna

say something important.

- Are you implying

fried cheese is not?

- I do like fried cheese.

- Mhm, but you wanted

something more like politics.

- Exactly.

So who did you vote for in the

last presidential election?

- Um, Voldemort.

He was a little bit darker,

but I liked that his running

mate was a human-eating snake.

- Oh, interesting, kind of dark.

- You two look like

you're having fun.

- Oh, well, mostly he's being

stupid, but it's amusing.

- Really, and how

are the drinks?

- They are real good, thank you.

- Okay, that was creepy.

Wasn't that creepy?

Real good, thank you.

- Sorry I was being

appreciative of your services.

- Maybe I can take you

back to my room later

and thank you some more.

- I don't sound

like Darth Vader.

- Yeah, you know

what, you kind of do.

- Yes, you do.

- All right, so, I'm guessing

a couple more vodka Red Bulls?

- Yeah, I think I need one now.

- Thank you.

I like her.

You know what we should do?
