Don't Pass Me By (2013) - full transcript

A stirring story about regret, love, and second chances, woven together in a vignette style. The story follows four women who sit at a crisis point in their lives--their desires clouded by fear, duty, tragedy, and regret. As each story unfolds, the characters struggle to find the courage to live for themselves, to reclaim the relationships they have lost along the way, and to make time for the things that really matter.

[Distant Voices] We don't have a
pulse.

[Distant Voices] Wake up.

[Distant Voices] Keep talking to
her.

[Distant Voices] Hear my voice,
Hannah

[Distant Voices] Come back.

Hannah, come on back.

I've got your test results back.

Okay.

It's not as good as we hoped.

The Biopsy we took indicates
advanced malignant cells.

What does that mean?



It's cancer and you're test indicates
its advanced to stage four.

And that's bad?

Yes Hannah.

I know this is a lot to take in
right now.

I understand you went to a lot of specialists
who gave you inconclusive results.

But yes, these tests are
indisputable.

Okay, what do I do, what do we
do?

Well, we have had some success
with chemotherapy.

Okay.

At your advanced stage chemotherapy can buy you
a little bit of time, but it will not cure you.

The cancer is spreading too
fast.

How much time?

Weeks, months if you're lucky.

And there's nothing you can do?



No, I'm so sorry.

Hannah, wait... There are a few
things we can do.

We can modify your diet. I can give
you some drugs to help with the pain.

You can make the best of the
time that you have left.

Okay.

Yeah?

Danielle Davis here to see you.

Send her in.

Danielle, just the girl I wanna
see.

Sorry to show up like this, I
appreciate you.

Oh, stop it. Seriously.

Now listen, you're paying my rent
you can do whatever you want.

Sort of, I'm kidding. Sit down,
sit down, sit down.

Listen, great news, I just got off the
phone with Brett Chandler's manager

and he's agreed to be your date to the
premiere of "“Twist of Fate" ” on Wednesday.

Listen David, that what I want
to talk to you about-

I know you're uncomfortable with
the whole thing,

but if you want to make it big,
that's the way its done.

Catherine assures me that you don't have to spend
anymore than a couple of days with the guy.

Just enough for the press to see you two
together, and the rest will take care of itself.

Catherine is a genius. I guarantee
you the publicity she'll get you,

and the opportunities you'll get after this
will be well worth a few awkward lunches.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay... Okay.

I can see there is something
else going on here.

Now tell me. What is it?

I need to go home.

So, don't we all.

I have a family emergency and I
really have to get back to Indiana.

When and for how long?

Well, it would only be for-

When and for how long?

Tomorrow, for at least a few
days.

[Laughing] Let me just make sure
that I'm hearing you right.

You're telling me that you want
to miss the premiere...

an event that is critical to
your whole career.

I know, I just... it's not that-

Listen! Danielle!!

Danielle. We need to generate publicity
while the fans are still invested.

If they really think you fell in
love with Brett,

they will flock to the theatre
just to see where it all started.

Public interest means more
ticket sales.

It means more fans. It means more
people that will want a piece of you.

That's what you've been working
so hard for.

Danielle, this business is all
about the choices we make,

and right now the next few
months are very critical.

I am really sorry to hear about
your mom, I am...

but your being there is not going
to make that much difference.

And frankly, missing this
premiere is really not an option.

Now, I trust I can count on you
to be there, right?

Yes.

Good.

Look, I'm really glad you came
in...

and look, we're going to get you
mother a really nice care package.

Trust me, she would want you to
be here.

Hey, yeah I know. I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah. I'm still here.

Can we, um... can we meet up?

I um...

I... I have-

[sighs]

I need some more... I ran
out.

Yeah... Yeah I know the place...
okay.

Hey.

Hey!

Good class?

Oh yeah.

Me and some of the girls are going
to hit up that new bar on third.

Oh, that sounds like fun, but I-

Please come. You never hang out
with us anymore.

Kyle is actually coming over for
dinner tonight.

Yeah, I've trying to get Ryan and
Kyle together for months now, so...

Why?

Kyle's my best friend... He should
be friends with my husband.

[scoffs] Jill...

What?

Nothing... have fun.

Bye.

Bye.

[coughing, breathing heavily]

You alright?

[Laughs] Yeah... I was just
catching my breath.

[Laughs] Breathing's important.

You've staked out a good spot.

Good book, little lunch, beautiful day...
You can hardly beat it.

Do you come here everyday?

Not everyday, but close.

Don't you get restless?

Surrounded by all this?

Some people crave adventure and
excitement...

but not me. I like to say in
one spot.

I'm kind of like these trees,
you know? Deep rooted.

I get that.

Yeah.. believe it or not I've
never been on a plane.

You know I grew up here, and
then my parents-

- Well, life happened and I never
really wanted to go anywhere, but...

I don't know. Now I just...

I know I'm going to regret it.

You're still young.

Not that young.

Yeah, regret is a funny thing.

It either takes you to the past
or the future....

two places we have no power.

This moment we're living in right now is
the only real place we can make a change.

Don't waste your time with
regret.

If you want something, you go
get it.

Otherwise, life can do an
unfortunate thing.

What's that?

Pass you by.

Hey.

Hey.

I didn't see you at Gabe's party
last week.

Yeah, I've been busy.

So look, I was totally going to
call you back-

Just forget it... alright?

So you got the stuff?

Yeah, of course.

Well?

You got my cash or do you want
to pay me back some other way?

Yeah, I got the cash.

Fine.

What's your deal?

Nothing... Look, I'll see you
around, okay?

Thank you.

No way! Are you going to Paris?

Um, yes, I hope so.

I love Paris. My grandma took me
there when I was nine.

Oh yeah?

Have you been before?

Nope, but I've always wanted to
go.

How long are you going for?

I'm not sure. It kind of
depends.

On what?

Just life I guess.

Take some pictures for me, will
you?

Sure.

Enough with the grease for the
day, I'm out of here.

Alright man. I'll take care of the check.
I'll see you tomorrow. Have fun.

Paris, huh?

[Laughs] Hi.

Hey, I'm Josh.

Hannah.

Nice to meet you.

Mind if I join you?

Sure.

Just for a sec.

Sure. Okay.

Do you come here often?

You did not just say that.

I did and I'm not even
embarrassed about it.

Okay, yes, I do. It's quiet here, you know?
So I like to come and read.

So, you're going to Paris some
time soon?

Yeah, hopefully.

When?

Three weeks.

Okay. You going with a boyfriend
or...

I'm moving there actually.

Wow, okay. Soon.

So, you're going with your
friends or your boyfriend?

Just me, just me.

I have really bad timing.

Oh, you have no idea.

So, what will you do in the city
of love all by yourself?

I don't know, you know? I'm just
going to paint, explore, just...

So, you're a painter?

Yeah.

I have no artistic talent what
so ever.

No, but actually I could do a
pretty mean stick figure.

Oh..

Yeah.. you ready?

I'm ready.

Wow, that's nice. What is that?

That's you.

Of course. Oh there I am, the
hair.

Here, you can have that.

Oh, THANK you.

That's for you, on the house.

On the house?

So, what about your parents?
They're not going to miss you?

My mom would freak out if she
couldn't call me everyday.

Every week, month.

Don't worry about it. I'm totally
independent. There is no mom issue.

No. Sure. No. Of course.

No, actually my parents died
when I was eleven.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, really. It was a long
time ago.

Makes it easier to move half way
around the world, right?

Yeah, I guess so.

So, what do you do?

I'm a lawyer.

No you're not.

No, I'm not.

Do I not look like a lawyer?

No.

It's my day off, what do you
want?

I thought they didn't give you
guys the day off?

They don't. This is me taking
advantage of...

Look, I haven't had a vacation
since I started working.

Yeah. I mean I don't know what I
would do if I had a week off.

What would you do?

Something adventurous, something
spontaneous.

Yeah, like what?

Like Paris...

maybe.

Maybe?

Can I see that?

Yeah.

Hello?

Hi David. It's Danielle. I'm at
the premiere.

What premiere?

[Danielle] Twist of Fate?

That's next week!

What? You told me it was
tonight.

Didn't Catherine call you and
tell you it was pushed?

[Danielle] No?

[David] Has anyone seen you?

No. There's no one here.

Just don't move, wait right there.
I'm going to call Catherine.

[Phone Ringing]

[Answering Machine] You've reached the Davis residence.
We're not home right now. Please leave a message.

Hi Mom...

I'm just calling to say that
I love you so much.

And I wish I was there.

I should be there with you.

Can you stay here for a minute?
I've got to go inside.

[Whispers] Ryan please.

I'm so sorry. He's just on a
business call right now.

No worries.

Your place is... nice.

Seems like forever since I've
been here.

[Laughs]

You're pretty. Kyle never
mentioned that.

Can I get you a drink?

Wine please.

Hey Kyle.

Ryan, this is Kyle's date,
Mandy.

Hi. Can I talk to you really
quick?

Something happened at work. I
have to go back to the office.

Ryan, no, you promised. I've been trying
to set this up for weeks, you know that.

I know, I know, I'm sorry...
I'll make it up to you.

Tell them I'm sorry and... maybe
I'll be back for dessert. Okay?

What happened?

Um... he had to go back to work.

I guess it's just going to be
the three of us for dinner.

More food for us, huh?

[Mandy] What are we having?

Um, Rosemary Chicken, it's....
It's Ryan's favorite.

Oh... you didn't tell her?

I'm vegetarian, sorry.

Oh... well, hey it's no problem. I
can just whip up something else-

No forget it.
Can I have that wine?

In a field where people don't respect
the spirit of what the intention is

as opposed to the letter may say
their guilty.

Hey. I'm really sorry. We're
trying to close up.

Oh god, I'm so sorry.

[Waitress] I have to get home to
my dogs.

Keep the change.

You didn't have to do that.

No, but then if I didn't, I
couldn't call it a date.

You really are a lawyer, aren't
you?

Got to be somewhere tonight?

[sighs] Um..

No, no not really.

Come on Ben, stop worrying about
your stupid job,

you should take the shot with me
and have a good night, okay?

Please?

Okay, for you, alright?

[Both] To shitty bosses.

You're such a girl.

[Avery] Better?

[Ben] A little bit.

Ooh, Danielle Davis, nice buddy.

What is she doing here?

Yeah, I-I don't know.

She's not my favorite Hollywood
bombshell, but I see the appeal.

I've had like every class with
her since like second grade.

Danielle Davis, really?

[Ben] We all called her Danny
back then...

I mean her friends did anyway.

You guys weren't friends?

We were, we were.. well-kinda.

I wanted to be, but it just
never happened that way.

You loved her?

Basically yeah, yeah, I did.

What happened?

I- I never told her. I couldn't
tell her...

It wouldn't have worked, you know?
She wouldn't have been interested...

No no no no no, I've been drinking, so I'm
going to come off as a babbling idiot-

You had one, Ben, you're fine,
go!

I can't, alright? If I couldn't
then. I'm not going to now.

I just need to sit here, and...
I just-I can't, I can't, okay?

Let's just enjoy our time here,
okay?

Have another drink, or YOU can.
I'll just sit here.

Okay, then I'm going to go.

No, n-n-no, Avery! Don't! Don't
do-Oh, Christ, oh God, okay...

[Laughing Quietly]

[Whispering] Shh, shut up, shut
up! Don't wake her up!

[Whispering] How many glasses
did she have?

[Whispering] About a thousand.

[Whispering] This way, I won't have to
sleep with her tonight. Don't wake her.

[Laughs]

I'm sorry about Ryan.

Does he do that a lot?

Yeah...

he does, yeah.

Why do you put up with it?

Isn't that what relationships
are about?

Compromise?

Compromise isn't one sided.

People have to take care of each
other.

He takes care of me.

Well, I should probably get her
home.

Thanks for dinner.

Of course.

Mandy, let's go.

Come on, there we go.

[Ben] Don't.. no, no, I said
don't!

[Avery] Ben, look what I found!

Hey, Danny. Wow.

No one has called me that in
such a long time.

Uh, how have you been?

Good.

Yeah, just busy you know?

You should have told me you were
living here.

Well, I mean, you're uh.. not
exactly in the phone book.

Oh right, of course.

Wow, Ben Jacobson.

What a small world.

You really look great.

Danielle, what are you doing in
here?

Oh, um, this is my friend Ben-

I don't care. We need to leave.
Let's go.

I guess that's my cue.

Yeah.

You should give him you're
number-

No, she's right. Just give me a
second.

Do you have a pen?

Um....

Yes, yes, I do.

Let's just do coffee or
something.

I'd love to.

It was really good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

Bye.

Mr. Jacobson's night is looking
up! Joe!!

You look better this time...
yeah.

[Laughs] I look like a zombie
vampire.

A little bit. This is your
second one.

Oh right, so what do I owe you?

[Laughs]

Turn it over.

Those are lucky numbers.

Oh, I bet they are.

It's my phone number.

You better use it... wisely.

You're good, I'm impressed,
really, I am.

Just promise to call.

I promise.

Dude, seriously.

It's going to be fine.

Just walk in, get drugged up,
walk out. No brainer.

Yeah, it's just that I feel like
I waited too long.

[sighs]

Why did you wait so long?

Did you think it was just going
to go away?

I don't know.

I guess I just wasn't ready to
deal with it yet.

Relax.

Here you go... take the edge
off.

Seriously?!?

You just-you just need to
relax.

Like breathe... deeply...

or something.

Wish me luck.

Luck.

Hey man...

you got my money?

We good?

Here.

Cheers.

Hey sexy.

Hey.

I'm glad you here.

Oh yeah and why is that?

I'm all out.

Let's see what we can do about
that, huh?

Anything else?

I'm waiting for someone.

Okay.

Where the hell have you been?

Two weeks Brooke? I don't hear
from you for two weeks???

What were my rules when you
first moved in?

One, you tell me where you are.

And two, you just come home at
night and sleep in your bed.

You never pulled this shit with
mom and dad-

Well, you're not mom and dad.

And no one asked you to be my
guardian.

What's the big emergency Brooke?
Why am I here? I have patients...

I'm pregnant.

I wasn't even going to tell you. I was just
going to get it taken care of, but um..

They tell me I can't get an abortion,
because I'm too far along.

What? Wait, how far along are
you?

Four months?!? You let this go
for four months Brooke?!

How could you be this
irresponsible???

Look, I'm telling you now
alright.

I did some research and I found
this doctor in Arizona

that's willing to do abortions
after four months...

but um... it's kind of
expensive.

So, I was hoping-

- Hoping that I would help you
pay for it.

Yeah.

How much?

Three thousand dollars.

God Brooke, how could you let
this happen?

Are you going to help me or not?

Who's the father?

Just some guy. It doesn't
matter.

I will consider loaning you the
money.

Thank you.

But I have conditions.

Of course you do...

One, you will come home at
night, no late that midnight.

-Do you want my help or not?

Two, you will get a job. A nine
to five job with a salary

and you and I will work out some
kind of payment plan

and you will pay me back until
it is paid back in full.

And you will let me take you and
talk to someone about your options.

You're not going to some crack
pot doctor in Arizona.

You have to be more responsible Brooke,
no more drinking, no more drugs,

no more staying out at night and
doing God knows what.

If mom were alive-

-YEAH WELL SHE'S NOT!!

Okay? ...She's not.

Get up... we're going home.

[Phone ringing]

[Ryan] Hey babe. I'm not going to
make it home tonight for dinner.

[Ryan] You haven't started yet,
have you?

Nope, haven't started.

[Ryan] Please don't be mad, I
uh... God, crap-

[Ryan] I've gotta go, I'm going to be home
really late. So, uh.. yeah, don't wait up.

[Ryan] I love you, okay?

Hello?

[Jill] Hey Kyle. It's Jill.

Jill, hey.

[Jill] What are you doing?

Um... just out with some
friends.

You should come.

Okay.

Great, I'll text you the
address.

Awesome, bye.

What am I going to do?

You'll figure out something...

I just wish you could have known
her when our parents were alive...

she wasn't always like this.

She's a teenager.

She needs her parents, but
instead she gets me.

Sam, come on...

No.

I just think this is all my
fault.

You can't blame yourself that
you have no control over.

Okay?

He's just such a jerk Kyle...

I don't even know if he loves me
anymore.

You know Jill, people go through
rough patches-

-I'm not.

Cheers.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Missy!

Oh my god, three feet from the
drink, come on...

I'm having dinner party
flashbacks, alright?

Jeez, you've had enough.

I guess you won't have to sleep
with me tonight either?

Yeah, I guess not... lucky me.

Don't be mean.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[Bartender] Okay, love birds...
Last call.

[Scoffs]

I'll just take the tab please,
close it out.

[Bartender] Sure, last name?

Montgomery.

[Mocking] Montgomery.

I don't talk like that.

No I don't, come on drunkie... get
your purse, I'll take you home.

Come on.

Hey.

What do you want?

Where you been?

My sister's home... you
shouldn't be here!

Are you mad at me or something?

No...

Can I come in?

No!!!

Why not? What's wrong with you?

Look, I got to go-

Hey, wait wait wait.

What's with you, you've just
been like so...

I don't know, like so-

Pregnant... so PREGNANT.

I just thought you should know.

Well, who's the... Who's the
father?

I don't know.. just some
ASSHOLE.

Who?

YOU, Brian!

Are... A-Are you sure?

Yeah... I'm sure...

because unlike you, I don't go
sleeping with everything that moves!!!

You know what, just go...

JUST GO!!!

GO!!!

Well...

I guess I should go inside.

Yeah, yeah...

You need me to walk you to your
door?

Oh no I can...

get it.

Um...

Okay, um...

Kyle I'll um...

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

[Car Door Shuts]

This is not easy.. This is not just
another girl. This is Danielle Davis....

what am I doing?

[Phone Rings]

Hello?

Hey, uh, Danny!

It's... It's Ben! Uh.. Jacobson?

Ben, it was great to see you.
How are you?

I'm great. I'm great... Um...

Hey, listen, uh...

I was just wondering, maybe you
wanted to-

[Ben] Uh, you know, grab a
drink, or...

[Ben] Maybe.. maybe even dinner,
sometime?

With, like, you know, sometime
being this week...

You know, with uh, with...
w-with me?

Yeah, yeah, you know, I would
love to.

You know... uh, shoot, this week
I'm super busy...

Oh, okay, um...

That's-That's fine. Maybe some
other time.

Well, hey. I'm meeting some
friends tonight for dinner and...

[Danielle] Maybe you could come by
afterwards and meet for some drinks.

That's perfect.

[Danielle] Okay see you then.

Alright, bye.

[Phone Vibrating]

Hello?

Hey, It's Kyle!

Oh hey.

[Kyle] Listen... I just wanted
to clear the air

and make sure you weren't feeling
weird about the other night.

Feeling weird?

When I drove you home.

[Jill] Oh god...

I was so drunk...

did I do something stupid?

Nope.. No, you were perfect.

[Kyle] I got two tickets for the ballet tomorrow
night, a friend of mine is dancing in the show.

I thought she'd be a great
person for you to meet.

Yeah. She starting her own dance company
and I've been telling her about you, so...

[Jill] Yeah. I'd love to.

[Kyle] Great, great...

[Kyle] You want to just meet me
at the theatre around seven then?

Um, yeah, okay, let me just
double check here...

Checking, checking...

Yeah, okay, great! Cool! I'll
see you there.

Okay, bye.

Oh great, you're ready... let's
go.

What are you talking about, I'm
going to the ballet with Kyle.

No... You can't do this to me
babe.

I told you WEEKS ago about this,
it's the company party.

Kyle has a friend that works in the
ballet, he could get me a job-

-Jill.

Babe, please...

All the guys are bringing their wives and all the
contacts for the company are going to be there...

It's a big, big deal.

This is a big opportunity for
me, I-

-Yeah, but... please.

Fine.

[sighs] Okay, great...

Let's go.

I, uh...

I had a really great time
tonight.

Yeah, yeah, so did I.

Do you remember this song?

It was the summer after senior
year?

Yeah... yeah, yeah.

That was back in the day.

It was the week before I moved
back to LA.

Every sound...

taste...

it was so precious.

I miss that feeling.

I, uh...

Did you, uh...

did you know I had a bit of
a crush on you in high school?

Really?

You did?

Yeah, uh... HUGE, actually...

Why didn't you do anything about
it?

I don't know...

We were friends and...

and even if I had, you
wouldn't have been interested-

Thank you for tonight.

I, uh...

I had a great time.

You're welcome.

Bye.

Bye.

Just do it! Just do it!

Hi.

Hi.

What is going on with you? You
were REALLY rude during dinner-

You knew how important those
clients were to me,

you could have given me at least
ten percent of your energy!!

Maybe I would if I didn't feel so completely
ignored and unwelcome!!! ALL NIGHT!!!

Watch your tone...

My tone...

I missed a once in a lifetime chance
because you said you NEEDED me!!!

I do EVERYTHING for you...

I ask ONE thing from and you can't
do it without complaining!!

EVERYTHING?!?

You do EVERYTHING?!!!-

YES!! YES!! EVERYTHING!!

SCREW YOU, RYAN!!!

Hello?

[Muffled] Yeah hey, it's Josh.

[Muffled]... Hello?

Just a sec...

Hey.

Hey, uh....

how did you find out where I
lived?

You shouldn't put your home
address on your business cards.

I didn't give you this?

AND you promised you would call
me.

Look, it doesn't matter, I know
you're leaving in three weeks...

and I just wanted to see you.

Josh this is really sweet, I
just-

- I came all this way, brought
you coffee...

let's just go for a walk...
please?

I just really need this to stay
simple.

It is simple; It's a beautiful
day outside...

cup of coffee...

Just coffee.

Hey...

and that, that's it.

Okay... one second.

Sorry it's such a mess in here,
I...

wasn't expecting this.

Yeah, I wasn't either....

believe me it is the last
thing in the world I...

No, no, I mean in a good way, in
the best possible way,

you know? Because you have no
idea, how long I've wanted...

You know what? Just... never
mind.

You're cute.

Shut up!

Wow... Jesus, your parents
haven't changed at all.

Do you want blueberry or plain?

I remember your mom making the
best pancakes that I ever tasted.

When did you have my mom's
pancakes?

Oh, fourth grade, I think?

We were all at your house rehearsing
this little play I had written...

I don't remember what it
was, but...

- No, no. That's right it was
uh...

about the mouse who gets super
strength after eating magical cheese.

Hey, don't laugh, alright? It was
a brilliant title AND plot line.

You still writing?

Umm... not so much, I mean...

not as much as I'd like to.

Why not?

You know, just... work.

You work in publishing, right?

Yeah, I'm a book editor though.

Right.

Yeah, you know, my day is spent
correcting other people's work...

Yeah, AND, to top it all
off, my boss is a gigantic tool.

Did I happen to mention that?

Well, you should quit.

Well, I hope you keep on
writing, I mean...

you were so good at it when
we were kids.

You know what, I think I have
those plays stashed somewhere.

Wow, I'd love to see them...

So, you're parents still live on
Barnette?

Yeah, they do, you still my
neighbor?

My parents moved away shortly after
my sister and I graduated college.

Well, that's too bad... You had
a great house.

Yeah, it was...

I especially loved the second story window
that looked right into your bedroom.

What?!

You little perv!

Only once I hit puberty, okay?

Before that you were just the
smelly girl next door.

Oh and you were the little jerk who
always took my seat on the bus!

Whoa, whoa, you loved me.

Yes...

I did.

So, how are Frank and Donna
anyway?

They're not great, actually...

my mom had to have surgery
last week.

Jesus...

Yeah, it's a pretty big deal.

I'm sorry, is she okay?

Yeah, she'll be fine...

She's, uh...

recovering, slowly...

It's just, I...

wasn't there.

Well, I had this thing...

[sighs] ...actually, I didn't,
which is the worst part about it.

My agent guilt tripped me into
staying,

so I could go to this premiere
with Brett Chandler.

Oh, you and he are...

-No no no, God no, that's a...

publicity thing, which is a
whole other nightmare.

But my agent made it sound like
I would ruin my career

if I left, so I stayed...

I missed my mom's surgery...

and the premiere is not even
happening 'til later this week.

I haven't seen my parents since
Christmas.

I should have been there.

I know what its like to have to
choose between your career and...

I don't know... your life, I
guess...

especially when everything is
pushing on you from all sides.

My career has been everything to
me...

For so long and...

I have no control.

Come on, yeah you do...

You just... have to take it
back.

[Phone Vibrating]

[Answering Machine] Hey, it's Brooke, I'm not
here, obviously, so leave it at the beep.

Hey Brooke, it's me...

I was just calling to see if you were
going to Seth's thing tonight...

And um...

I wanted to talk to you about
something, it's not really a big deal.

I just-

I've been doing a lot of
thinking...

and, um...

I, I-I got you something...

I wanted to help you out...

I-I-If you want..

So um...

give me a call back, okay?

Alright, bye.

I'm starving.

Oh thank God...

I've been dying to say something, but didn't
want you to think I was trying to leave.

Well, let's go get some food.

Maybe we should change first.

You're right, stay like this, it
will be very incognito...

Where do you want to go?

I'm going to take you somewhere,
but, it's a surprise.

Really?

But first I'm going to run to my
car so I can change.

Okay, but I'm driving, because
if you drive

we won't get there until after
the restaurant closes.

Whoa, whoa, I don't drive THAT
slow...

[Laughs] Yes, you do.

[Ben] Alright, fine! Fine, you
can drive.

Fine, I will!

I'm just going to go change
first.

[Paparazzi] Danielle, Danielle!!
Danielle!!!

[Paparazzi] What's it like to be America's
sweetheart, huh? Who's the guy???

[Paparazzi] What's your name,
kid??

[Danielle] Don't you guys ever
take a night off?!?

[Paparazzi] Cmon kid, what's
your name?

[Ben] Uh, it's uh.. Ben.

[Ben] Listen, could you just-

[Danielle] -Just don't say
anything.

[Paparazzi] So still single,
huh?

[Danielle] Still single...

What's going on?

You have no idea what my life
is, okay??

I need you to not be here right
now.

[Paparazzi] Yeah, go ahead, we
don't need you anymore! Buh-bye!

What's wrong?

You're moving.

Yeah, I know.

Why?

Josh...

No, I'm serious.

Look, you never told me...

why?

I really don't want to talk
about it right now, okay?

You can't get invested in this.

Just like that?

Just like what?

I wanted to know you...

Why, why can't you let me in,
hm?

Josh, I-Stop, stop, stop...

Why do you keep pulling away?

Look, I didn't call you, okay? I really
don't know how to be clearer than that.

And today? That doesn't mean
anything?

- Okay, see, but that's the thing,
you've never once asked me what I feel!

It's just, it's all been about
you!

I can't stay here with you, it
isn't up to me...

will you please stop asking?
You have to stop asking so much!

Shit!!

It's nothing, alright Josh? I
really need you to go...

- Josh, this has nothing to do with
you, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!!

I NEED YOU TO GO!!

- You can't help me, okay? Nobody
can help me!!

Hannah, what is it?!!...

Look at me, WHAT IS IT?!

JOSH, I HAVE STAGE FOUR CANCER,
OKAY?!?

Will you please...

go?

I'm not leaving...

You're off the hook, okay?

I don't expect you to stick
around for this...

I don't want to stick around for
this-

-Stick around?

Please...

I know that you're going to find
someone really great.

I really like you...

but if you stay...

I've got something really
big to lose.

[Hannah] I can't handle it.

Where's my money?!!

It's probably just Brian...

Jamie...

what's wrong?

It's Brian...

Can you give us a minute...

What's going on?

He's dead, Brooke...

[Phone Vibrating]

Hello?

I'll be there...

Catherine, I'll BE there.

[Voicemail] Hey Brooke, it's
me...

[Voicemail] I was just calling to see if
you were going to Seth's thing tonight...

[Voicemail] And um...

[Voicemail]... I wanted to talk to you about
something, it's not really a big deal.

[Voicemail] I just-

[Voicemail] I've doing a lot of
thinking...

[Voicemail Box] You have no new
messages.

Hey, Ben.

These just came in from the new
author.

He wants to get things moving.

Yeah, okay...

Um, I can get them going
tomorrow-

- Yeah, that's the thing, I'm going
to need these on my desk tomorrow.

There is no way I can do this
whole thing by tomorrow, okay?

Well, then you're going to have to
be here 'til two in the morning.

No, no, not this time, I can't.

Look, I have things I need to
do.

Look, yeah, you may have little
things you need to do, but...

You get these done and you have
them on my desk by the morning...

or you're fired.

That won't be necessary.

Good!

I'm glad we see eye to eye.

It won't be necessary because I
quit.

Quit?

Quitters never make anything of
themselves, Ben!

What the hell is this??

He's just a friend.

Oh, you kiss all your friends
like that?!?

I don't know what to say...

You, Y-You're in serious breach
of you contract...

This could ruin everything we
set up for you and Brett!!

EVERYTHING we set up to advance
your career!!

To bring YOU closer to YOUR
dreams!!

I don't like the way you're
talking to me-

-EXCUSE ME?!?

Look, you know something?

You better figure out how you're
going to fix this...

Because as much as I like you...

I will drop you like a bad
habit.

If you EVER pull anything like
this again.

Is THAT clear?!?

I'm done.

When I get back from visiting my
parents...

I'll be signing with a
different agent.

Goodbye, David!

[Door Knock]

Who is it?

[Muffled] It's Josh.

Come in.

Hi.

The truth is, I can't walk away.

I want to spend this time with
you.

And it doesn't matter if it's a
year, week, or a day...

I'm here.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry... what's going on?

I left Ryan.

What?

This is big!

Yeah.

I mean, I always thought Ryan was
always kind of a selfish jerk.

Well, why didn't you say
something?

How could I?

You married him so fast and...

I wanted to be supportive.

Ugh, that was my first
mistake...

Look...

I know it sucks right now,
but...

Yeah, I just, I feel like I
wasted so much time, you know?

The four years I spent with
Ryan, I could have spent with..

I don't know.

With who?

Well, no one.

With Kyle?

What?

You and Kyle have had thing
for each other since day one.

[Laughs] That is so not true,
we're just friends.

He's been madly in love with you
forever...

He just... couldn't do anything about
because you were already with Ryan.

Is that true?

Yeah.

I think you guys should go for
it.

You want the last bite?

No, you.

Okay.

Hey...

are you okay?

[Speaking French]
Très bien (Very good)

What?

Toi (Thee)

Moi?
(Me?)

Oui.
(Yes.)

Whoa, slow... It's only my third
day of learning this.

I know how to say...

yes, no, and uh...

my girlfriend is very beautiful.

Girlfriend, huh?

Hey...

don't do that.

Okay.

You're so strong.

Thank you.

I'll be right back okay.

Okay.

Don't get any ideas... It's
still mine.

[Laughs]

[Waitress] For you maam?

[Guest] Uh.. apple pie.

Apple pie, thank you.

Oh, great...

You got some nerve, you know...

You think you can just use people and throw
them away like they don'teven matter?

Ben was one of the good ones...

If you mess him up for the rest
of us

I will literally find you, and
kill you.

Listen, Avery. I didn't-

-Save it...

[Samantha] Are you okay?

Yeah.

Listen Brooke, there's something
I need to tell you...

Okay?

I freaked out on you the other day
when you told me about the baby...

No shit...

and it wasn't entirely fair.

Is this an apology-

-It's an explanation.

Greg and I have actually been
trying to get pregnant...

and it's been really tough.

You never told me that.

We were kind of waiting until
we...

The truth is we went to see a
fertility specialist...

and I have what they call a
hostile uterus...

so the chances of us getting
pregnant are really slim.

So you showing up the other day
and telling me about the baby

was kind of like pouring salt on
the wound...

which isn't your fault, but-

The point is... I'm sorry about
the way I acted.

It's okay.

Look Brooke, I know things have
been really weird between us

ever since mom and dad died,
and...

I just never knew how to-

It's like you not a kid anymore,
but you're not an adult either...

all I want is for you to be
safe.

I know.

And I know I hold you to an
impossibly high standard sometimes,

but I just want the world for
you, and, so did mom and dad.

Hey Kyle...

it's me.

Hannah, Hannah, hey...

Oh my God, I NEED SOME HELP
HERE, I NEED SOME HELP!!!

CALL AN AMBULANCE!!

[Hannah Narration]
It's a funny thing, regret.

[Hannah Narration]
It takes us into the past...

[Hannah Narration]
and into the future.

[Hannah Narration] Two places
where we have no power.

[Hannah Narration] It's only here, in
this moment, that change is possible...

[Hannah Narration] If you want
something, go and get it...

[Hannah Narration] ...or life
will do an unfortunate thing...

[Hannah Narration] ...Pass you
by.
