All of them.

Alright, here's coffee.

And here's - I brought everything.

OK.

Here.

Thank you.

How's your -

How's it - How's it feel?

I feel like I've been

hit by a truck.

I don't - I don't think I can

get through granola today.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

What?

What?

Are you just going to sit here and watch me

eat? The show's not about to start, Matt.

Sorry. They just told me at the

hospital that I need to reinforce,

like, a positive male

influence in your life.

I don't think you're

supposed to tell me that.

Yeah. Probably not.

It's okay. It's okay, sit down.

Look I know this is really

weird and uncomfortable,

and I don't know what to say, but...

just try and be yourself, okay?

Sure. Sorry.

And stop apologizing.

Are you ever going to

kiss me again?

I'm dying to kiss you.

I just don't want to hurt you.

I can handle it.

You're, uh, you're mom called

while you were asleep.

I think that she has, like,

a sixth sense for this stuff.

I don't think I'm going to

tell her about what happened.

Really?

Just with all the stuff with my

Dad and everything and - I dunno.

They're your parents.

I mean, don't you think that they would

want to know something like this?

I just know my mother will go crazy.

She'll say all the wrong things,

and probably just use it as ammunition.

Yeah. That's - your call.

Here, I'll get it.

Not - not so hungry?

Okay.

Are you ok?

What?

Do you need help?

I'm fine.

Look, if you need me to

call the cops, I can...

Let's go.

Yeah, it'll just be a minute.

Hey, what's wrong?

Everyone is looking at my face.

Come on. No they're not.

The waitress in there

asked if I needed help.

She thinks you did this to me.

What?

Who cares what they think?

I do!

Let's just go home.

Hey, no. Here, here.

Just put this on. There you go.

I look stupid in hats.

It's Brooklyn,

nobody gives a sh*t.

You look like the last kid

picked for the softball team.

Shut up.

"I'm just out here in leftfield,

waiting for the ball. "

Hey, you know what? Why don't we go to the

movies? No one can see us in the dark.

You're going to work?

I have to.

The Speakeasy job is due Friday.

No. Don't you think you

should take another day off?

No. It's too big of a job. And I don't want

to just mope around the house another day.

We don't have to mope. We could - we could

go to the park, we could have a picnic.

I already emailed the team last

night and said I'm not coming in.

What did you tell them?

That you're sick and

I have to take care of you?

Look, I know you're itching

to get back to it,

but I don't think, you know,

you should rush it.

Just one more day.

That won't hurt, would it?

Mentally? Yes.
