little bit about a lot of things.

Why you have to be such a bummer?

And why you have to be so negative?

I'm not negative, I'm realistic.

There's a difference.

- You're pessimist.

- Pessimism is just a higher form of optimism.

If you expect nothing from people, then you

go through life being pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, but nobody loves an albatross.

- I need some coffee. You want anything?

- I do not.

Fine.

Hey, how's it going?

What can I get for you?

I'll tell you what. You take your time,

and if you have any questions, just let me know.

Doesn't a Cyclops always has one eye?

What do you mean?

Never mind.

I will have a...

large soy mocha latte

with a pump of caramel.

Good choice.

So how are things going next door?

Fine.

Can I speak frankly with you?

I mean, I know we don't know each other

that well, but I see you all the time

and we are all girls here.

This Sunday my boyfriend is taking

me on a picnic to the bay.

And I'm really excited. I know

is gonna be super romantic

and I think that I'm not letting

myself be fully excited

because there's something in our

relationship that's been bothering me

which that we've been together for almost a year

and he still has not told me that he loves me.

And I just need to talk to somebody about it

because I don't wanna ask him to tell me.

And he said it on IM.

That's the thing. He said it on IM.

Which my friends say that it doesn't count.

It's like saying "I love you" during sex.

It doesn't count.

And so I wonder...

Where is your coffee?

They ran out.

Is that annoying girl still there?

Yes.

What a failbug.

Epic.

Do you ever think about when

you dropped out of the college

and wonder if you made

the right choice?

Every day.

Why do people have

such high expectations?

Everything happens

for a reason, Claire.

Nobody just ends up

at the Yankee Pedlar.

I guess.

- You know what really gets me though?

- Hold that on.

My eyes feel like they've been

doused with xxxxxxxx

I need to go upstairs.

What?

I'm sorry. I'm dead. We can talk about your

upcoming quarter life crisis tomorrow.

- I just need to tap out right now.

- Fine.

Leave your computer, though.

What? I'm not gonna hack the system.

I just want look for a pair of high tops.

And it gets really boring when

there's nobody else in the hotel.

And my book sucks.

Okay, just be careful with it.

Dah.

Oh, and if you get the itch

to do any recording,

the recorder is charging

in the back office.

Remember how to use it,

you just point the microphone in the...

I know how to do it.

I get it.

Jesus, I would hate to be

a ghost in this hotel.

- Goodnight, Claire.

- Goodnight, Luke.
