I really can't.
You think
I'm gonna accept that?
You're a real pig,
you know that?

[woman] Just go!
Come on.
Do it!
What is wrong with you? Go!
Just go.
Do it!
Come on!
Do it. Go!
Just go!
Do it!
[GPS] Exit 66 to Dorn Road.
One hundred east. Turn left.
Hmm.
[car honks]
[GPS] One hundred east.
Turn right.
Then you have arrived.
Recalculating.
Mmm.
[GPS] Turn around.
Recalculating.

[guitar music playing]
She sticks right to his heart
Like marmalade
Says it twice
But he can't catch her name
Warm environment
On the first date
Next he hears she lives
In a different place
She feels like
The sunny sun
Cold as the winter shade
But the animal zone
Ought to stay away
[woman] Move, my friend!
Are you talking to me?
You need to move!
[shrieks] Oh, shit!
Told you to move, didn't I?
Tide's coming in.
Didn't know I could
make it here.
You know, most people dress
a little more beach-y
if they're gonna stand
right by the ocean.
Just saying.
Well, the truth, lady,
is I came out here
trying to get
a better cell signal.
And to take in
all this beauty.
Excuse me?
You came to take in
all this beauty
because you wouldn't come
to a place like this
and still only care
about a cell signal.
Yeah, I'm just not a...
a big fan of the ocean.
Why not?
Kind of personal reasons.
Okay.
Would you happen to know
where I could get
a cell phone charger
around here?
Ah, you could try Ouzo Electronics
on Main, but it closes at 5:30.
What, 5:
30?
Yeah, it's off-season.
Everything's shut
except for the ice cream shop.
You're in the wilderness now.
Yeah, tell me about it.
I haven't seen you
around before.
Ah, I'm just staying at a
friend's place for the weekend.
And is this friend
age-appropriate?
[chuckles] Excuse me?
What does that mean?
Maybe you're one
of those guys
that seduces the rich old
ladies for their summer homes.
I seem like the type?
Maybe. Not sure yet.
You pegged me.
You know, although
ladies can't resist me,
and my wet pants.
No, she's totally
age-appropriate.
And she's just a friend.
She's, in fact,
an acquaintance, really.
I don't... I don't even
know her, actually.
You know, this is
the longest conversation
I've had with anyone
face-to-face in weeks.
Going to a party later.
You should come.
I don't think
I was invited.
I think you just were.
It's your party?
I know the person throwing it.
I could put you
on the guest list.
I don't know.
Guest lists, they kinda
stress me out.
Plus, I just, you know,
I came out just to get away.
I was gonna get back
and decompose.
"Decompose"? Really?
[chuckles]
I mean, decompress.
Plus, she's got a cat
that I gotta look out for.
It's...
It's not my cat.
It's hers.
Join me for a swim at least?
What, now?
I better get to the store
before it closes.
You know...
Isn't it a little cold,
this time of year?
Precisely.
[squeals]
Precisely.
So bitter and so sweet
Like marmalade
Run down in your teeth
Like marmalade
Sophisticated and simple
Like marmalade
She sticks right to his heart
Like marmalade
[engine sputtering]
[engine starts]
Idiot.
[engine stalling]
Oh!
You're kidding me.
[engine stalling]
[mumbles]
Oh! Hey! Excuse me!
I got a...
Hey, schmuck!
