My Little Friend (2011) - full transcript

Amy is a lesbian artist living in a small New Hampshire town with her historian father when she is reunited with her old high school friend Emily after nearly 10 years apart. Emily is completely unaware of Amy's true sexual orientation and after a few evenings of drinks and some sexual tension leads to a blurred line in Amy and Emily's friendship, which is complicated more by Emily's neurotic boyfriend, Charlie, whom sees Amy as a threat to his relationship with Emily.

So, it's so good to see a familiar face.

(squeaking chair)

(flipping through book)

Amy:Oh, ow.

Do you know who I saw a year ago?

Emily:Who?

Amy:Coach Jared.

Emily:Wait, how do I know that name?

Amy:B-ball baby.

Emily:I knew it.

Oh my God. What is he doing?

Amy:Well, not saying b-ball baby anymore.

Remember he used to say that.

Amy & Emily:It's b-ball baby.

(laughing)

Amy:It was so cute.

Like, thinking about it

now it was really, really

cheesy, but that was so cool.

It got me so -

Emily:Pumped.

Amy:It got me so excited.

Emily:Yes.

Amy:And I was like,

"Yes, it is b-ball baby."

Yes.

(laughing)

It was so fun.

Emily:Oh my God.

I have not played since I left.

Amy:Yeah, same here.

I'd be really rusty.

Emily:Me too.

Amy:But he's kind of lost his damn mind.

So, I feel like we

should practice a little,

call him up and be like -

Emily:Are you crazy?

Amy:Am I crazy?

Emily:Watch us play?

Amy:Get those gym shorts out.

Get your water bottle.

(music)

(shuffling papers)

(closing drawer)

(people talking)

Amy:Down it girl.

Emily:Yeah.

Uh-oh.

Amy:I'm going to do my Emily impression.

(laughing)

It's you. You're so serious.

Emily:And I'm going to

do Emily's boyfriend

impression just grab your ass.

(laughing)

Amy:Stick into the back pocket.

(laughing)

Emily:Yes.

Amy:Looking for spare change.

Emily:I know. (laughing)

(laughing)

Oh, those days.

Amy:You look really good.

Emily:Awe, thanks lady.

So, do you.

Amy:Well thanks. You do though.

You're so pretty.

Emily:Girl you got rhythm.

Amy:This song is so good.

Emily:Too bad I took my heels off because

I used to be taller than you.

Amy:I know. This is natural though.

Emily:Oh yea.

Amy:Hey you want to take a nap?

Emily:Okay, I'll take a nap.

Amy:Let's take a nap. There we go.

Emily:Oh man, I wish like

Boyz II Men was playing

or like K-Ci and JoJo.

Amy:Oh my gosh.

Emily:Then it'd be real.

Amy:This is real baby.

This is real right here.

Emily:Then it'd be perfect.

(laughing)

Oh that's right. Sorry. We got too close.

Amy:Oh gosh.

Emily:Hands on the collarbones.

(laughing)

Amy:And then there was this.

Emily:Oh yeah. (laughing)

Like all of a sudden you're like,

"But I don't want to

be that close to you."

Amy:I feel your boner.

(laughing)

And it's weird.

Emily:And it's weird.

Luckily we won't have

that problem tonight.

Amy:Oh gosh I thought

[unintelligible]. Sorry.

(laughing)

Emily:Okay. (laughing)

Amy:Oh. Hey.

Emily:What?

Amy:Baby called.

Emily:33 missed calls?

(sighs)

(birds)

It's just amazing because

it's just like we're

best friends all over

again after being best

friends 10 years ago.

Charlie:Okay, that's great.

Listen, I know you ignored my phone call.

Emily:What?

Charlie:Because I called

and it only rang twice.

Emily:So?

Charlie:So that means you pressed ignore.

You ignored Charlie's phone call.

Emily:I did not.

Charlie:Yes, you did.

Poor Charlie, sitting

at home in my underwear,

doing nothing, had nobody to play with.

Emily:Babe, we were just out having fun.

Charlie:I called you like 33 times.

I don't care if you were having fun.

I was scared. I was nervous.

I don't know. Maybe -

We're close to the ocean,

maybe you could have -

Maybe some Somalian

pirates docked you know

and they took you hostage.

How am I supposed to know?

I'm sorry. I just -

I'm glad you met your

friend again. That's good.

(kiss)

(light music)

Emily:Baby, can you put

this one on the top one?

Charlie:Yeah, of course.

That's what you keep me around for, huh?

Emily:And this one too?

Charlie:For, uh, the

high shelf and changing

the light bulbs.

Emily:That's true.

(kiss)

Charlie:Our house is coming together.

Emily:I know.

Charlie:I love it.

Emily:I love it too.

Charlie:Wish it wasn't

light blue, but uh -

Emily:(laughing) We can always paint it.

Charlie:I'm not painting it.

I'm way too lazy for that.

Emily:You'll get over it.

At least we have a house right?

Charlie:Yeah.

Emily:I never thought I'd say that.

Charlie:You've got to thank

your dad for that one.

Jesus.

Emily:I know.

Charlie:Um, so Amy, tell me about Amy.

Amy:Who's Amy? I'm Amy.

I live with my dad, still, after 26 years.

(light music)

I'm an artist.

I sell my art, and my dad is a historian.

He loves history of everything.

He knows the history of

our neighbors, ancestors.

He knows the history of

the school down the street.

He knows everything about everything.

And he definitely knows the

history of me and Emily.

(light music)

I remember seeing Emily

in class and not knowing

who she was, and it was

art class and we had

to draw our pets and she

felt really awkward because

she didn't have any pet to draw.

And, you know, I told her

that she could, she could

draw my cat Lady who

had run away and when I

described what she

looked like Emily drew it

so perfectly it looked just

like her and that's when

we became friends.

She kind of brought my cat back.

(light music)

I remember Mrs. Allen,

she would get so mad at

us though because we

started to draw these really

really graphic stupid things

on the side when we were

supposed to be working

on our planet project

and we really just did

not want to draw planets.

We wanted to draw funny,

gross things in our little

journals, and we would

be laughing so hard.

We would be crying and

shaking and we'd get

in so much trouble.

I mean really, who is Emily?

Who is she now?

(siren)

(light music)

(street sounds)

(light music)

Emily:You know what my mom told me about

Bank of America?

Amy:Hmm?

Emily:Well, first of all

you know how they got

bailed out?

Amy:Mm-hmm.

Emily:So, they got

bailed out but still only

pay their tellers like

$8.00 an hour, something

like really low.

Then, they found this

loophole where the health

insurance that their

employees get is the Husky

Program in Connecticut

so it's tax payer funded.

So Bank of America found a way to not pay

for their employee's health insurance.

Like the taxpayers are paying for it.

Amy:Are you serious?

Emily:Yeah, so my mom's union, she works

for the State of Connecticut

for the Education

Department.

Amy:Right.

Emily:Her union is like,

they're all getting together

and they're like withdraw

your accounts from

Bank of America.

My mom's like, "Well,

Bank of America always

worked for me, but ..."

Like, knowing that makes me sick.

You know?

Amy:Oh my God.

Emily:It's just like the

things that are going on now -

And these companies that

got bailed out, there's

no what's the word?

Restriction or -

Well there's like no

restrictions on them at all.

No rules. They can just

do whatever they want.

They can find loopholes everywhere.

It's really frustrating.

(light music)

(fire)

I mean it's tough. Local

elections are tough.

Not a lot of people vote.

Amy:That's true.

Emily:But you know it makes me think that

now that I'm back here,

maybe that was kind of

a sign that I saw that today.

Because it's like the

first thing since I've

been back that really inspired me and like

if this is where I've chosen

to live then I should be

involved, and yeah the

acting thing didn't work out

but I can be passionate

about something else.

And there's just so much

going on in this country

right now that it's like

why not start locally?

Amy:Well, okay. Would you be interested

in working for my dad?

Emily:Your dad?

Amy:Yeah.

Emily:Wait, at the museum?

Amy:Yeah. Yeah.

I think I could totally

land you a job there.

Now, I don't know -

I feel really bad that I didn't think

of this sooner, but I think

they're definitely looking

for an intern and a paid intern probably.

Emily:Really?

Amy:Yeah.

Absolutely. I'll let him know.

I mean I can't promise anything, but I'm

pretty sure that they're looking for that.

I mean that would be a

really great opportunity

for just being involved

in something that isn't so

corporate or something

stale like working at

a grocery store.

You know?

(fire crackling)

(light music)

Dad:So, this painting

behind you by Childe Hassam,

he's an example of an

American impressionist.

So, he's painting at the

same time that Cezanne,

Degas, Monet, Manet, all

those people are painting

in Europe, but he painted

at the Isles of Shoals.

You know Appledore Island out there and

Celia Thaxter had that artist colony and

that's a particularly beautiful one.

My brother bought it in

Boston, gave it to my mother

and she died 20 years ago.

She was the founder of the

Rye Historical Society.

So, he let me have it to bring it up here.

And it's served many

purposes up here, but it just

reminds me though, losing my mother the

Society almost died after

she died in the early 90s

and then Bonnie Goodwin

who is a charter member of

the Society -

This picture was taken in '85.

She and I kind of worked

together and we just kept

plugging away, did a few

programs in the library,

and then finally this

building became available

and it was from like 1995.

Got moved in '97 over here

and it finally opened in

'02.

So, it took me seven years

from the first idea that we

were going to get it

until we actually opened.

But she oversaw the

whole thing, you know and

got the people to come in and do the work

and what a difference that made.

But then we lost her

early. She was only 66.

About five years ago and then her husband

who was a big help to us, he died in '08

and then we lost our

treasurer and our secretary.

So, we need you Emily.

Emily:Oh gosh. Okay.

Dad:We need you because there's -

You know, so -

So, how do you think you could help us?

Emily:Well, I'm very good in the office.

Dad:Good.

Emily:Good, I can type 50 words a minute.

Dad:Okay.

Emily:And I know Excel

and Word and Outlook,

and so I definitely am good at data entry

so if that's what you're

looking for, like I'm great

at that.

Dad:We have a special

software called Past Perfect,

which is unique for museums.

So, if you know how to

do all that then you can

learn how to do this.

Emily:Okay. Okay great.

Dad:Because I'm a Luddite.

I just send e-mails and

write Word documents,

but that's why we need somebody who

could go in and -

I can actually pull it up on the computer,

but to actually scan

things in and organize it

and you have to put session numbers and

all this stuff, you know.

Emily:All right.

Dad:I don't know, but you'll figure it out

and there are a lot of

resource people to call upon

to do it.

Emily:Oh good. Okay.

Dad:Anyway.

Emily:Thanks.

Dad:I'm just trying to think.

Yeah, this is just

business stuff and then -

Yeah, I've got to clean up the mess.

(laughing)

(footsteps)

(opening fridge)

(pouring)

Dad:So, we thought it

would be cool when people

came into the museum if

they would have something

interesting to see rather

than just that logo

over there.

So, we have this wonderful

old cradle, and you can

tell that somebody has,

for a long time, been using

their foot because this is so worn.

So, they could sit and

read, talk and rock the baby

by just going like this

and came from a house

right up here so that's

got real Rye significance

and these dolls came

from Rye in the 1800s.

So we've got the cradle

thing, you know birth,

beginning of life and then we thought

well what the hell, cradle to grave.

This is the entry gate

to one of the old 60 plus

graveyards of Rye, and

Louise Tolman one of our

great town historical workers

she rescued it from this

falling down graveyard

and I don't know how.

She must have pushed it end over end,

got it into somebody's

barn and then my wife

and I rescued it and we

got it to our place and she

oiled it up and I got my carpenter friend

and we put it up here.

Emily:Wow.

Dad:So, you come in and in this museum

you're going to get everything

from cradle to grave.

(laughing)

Charlie:Hey. Hi. Yeah. No

I'm just having a glass

of water.

What are you doing?

Cool.

Where's Dad at?

Oh. (laughing)

That's good. I guess you

know we should all be

on the diabetes diet.

No, she's out.

Yeah. She's -

Well she's at her new job.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yeah she's got this friend

Amy, her dad hired her.

He works at a museum.

Yeah, I don't know.

I'm not going to work at

the same place she does.

No.

That's ridiculous.

I don't think I'd get sick

of her, but I just think

it would be weird.

Uh, God.

Listen, no. It's fine.

I have some money saved up anyway.

I -

Before we left I went to Atlantic City.

I took my last $100 and I

made $300 so I have $400.

So I'm not worried for

the next week or two.

Things are cheaper here anyway.

Okay. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know. I know. I'm going to get a job.

Anyway, hey, hey.

I've got to go.

There's this light bulb's

making a weird noise

above me. Yeah. I'm going to try to fix it

before Emily gets home.

Yeah, this house, I tell

you what, this house

is beautiful but it gives

me the heebie jeebies.

(light music)

(chair creaking)

(phone vibrating)

Emily:Hey. Yeah, good. How are you?

Good, thanks yeah I'm still here.

Um, I'm probably going

out with Amy tonight.

Yeah. Well there's stuff in the fridge.

Okay, well I'm at work

so I should go. Okay?

All right. Yeah, love you too. Bye.

Amy:Hello?

Hey. How's it going?

Emily:Good. Uh, what are we doing tonight?

Amy:Um, I'll be out -

I'll be out in a little bit.

You want to meet me down here?

We'll go to the Pressroom or something.

Emily:Oh, okay. Yeah, that's great.

Okay, what time?

Perfect.

Amy:All right. I'll see you later.

Okay, bye.

Dad:So Emily how are things going?

Emily:Oh, pretty good thanks.

Dad:Good. Good.

Emily:Yeah.

Dad:Oh, burnt house.

(laughing)

Yeah, we document everything in Rye.

Emily:Amazing.

Dad:Yeah.

She's the head of the

friends of the library

and so she tore that

house down after it burned

and built a beautiful bigger house.

(laughing)

Emily:Jeeze. Wow. That's huge.

Dad:Yeah.

Emily:I can't believe

she built a bigger house.

Dad:Yeah, that's on the

most exclusive road in town.

Sea Road.

(laughing)

Emily:I got it.

This is my house.

(footsteps)

Oh my God. I have to take these heels off.

Amy:Let me get them.

Emily:Oh thank you.

Amy:Let me get it.

Emily:Don't fall.

No, I got the other one.

I got the other one.

Just go ahead.

Go ahead. Okay.

(thud)

(light music)

(creaking floor)

(light music)

Charlie:Oh, hey. Hi. Um, I'm sorry.

Did I wake you up?

Amy:No, no. Just heading out.

Charlie:Oh okay. You're Amy right?

Amy:Yeah. Yeah.

Charlie:Amy, hi.

Amy:Hey.

Charlie:Charlie.

Amy:Charlie, nice to meet you.

Charlie:Yeah. Nice to meet you too.

Amy:Great. I'm sure I'll see you again.

Charlie:Would you like mint tea?

Amy:No, I'm set. Thank

you though. Appreciate it.

Charlie:We have coffee or -

Amy:I'm all set. Thank you. I'm good.

Charlie:Well, drive safe.

Emily:I'm going to kill myself.

Charlie:Don't do that.

Emily:Will you rub my head, babe?

Charlie:Yeah, sure.

Emily:Why do I do this to myself?

Charlie:You're a boozehound.

Emily:(groan)

(kiss)

Emily:Where's Amy?

Charlie:Oh you mean

that weirdo that darted

out of here the minute she saw me?

Emily:You're talking very loudly.

Charlie:Sorry.

(laughing)

She left at like 8:30 or something.

Emily:Wait was she weird? What happened?

Charlie:I lost my page.

Emily:You're supposed

to be rubbing my head.

Charlie:Oh, sorry. Okay. Here you go.

Emily:Thank you.

Charlie:No, I don't know.

I just was like, I asked

if she wanted some tea

and she like threw her

clothes on and left.

Emily:Oh, well she probably

felt as shitty as I do.

Charlie:Yeah, I thought

maybe she was embarassed

I was in my skivvies.

(laughing)

(jumping)

(panting)

(belch)

Emily:Oh my God.

Charlie:Don't puke.

Emily:That's Chinese.

(panting and jumping)

Charlie:Is it better to go slow?

Emily:Go at your pace.

I mean you go your own pace.

(laughing)

(panting)

(jumping)

Charlie:See, all it

takes is like ten minutes

of missionary position and that would have

been a better workout.

Been a lot more fun.

Emily:(negative sound)

Charlie:Yeah.

Emily:We would not burn

this many calories.

Charlie:Want a bet?

We could - Come on.

Emily:I'm getting a cramp.

Charlie:Yeah, me too.

(footsteps)

Charlie:Here you go.

Emily:Thank you.

Emily:Hey.

Charlie:Oh, how embarrassing.

Emily:Okay, to our new house.

Charlie:Our new house, which we still need

to christen with sweet love.

Emily:That's what this is for.

Charlie:That's what this -

(laughing)

Perfect.

You have to be drunk to

make sweet love to me?

Emily:You know that's not true.

(laughing)

Emily:All right, and our future.

Okay, we're drinking.

Charlie:I'm drinking.

I already got started.

Emily:Ah, New Hampshire wine.

Charlie:Yeah, it's good.

Emily:Not bad. Could get used to it.

Charlie:Yeah.

(laughing)

Think we're going to be here for a while?

Emily:I don't know. What do you think?

Charlie:I don't know. I hope so.

I like it. It's nice.

Emily:Good.

Charlie:I think I should

become a sailor or something.

Emily:Yeah.

Charlie:Wouldn't that be cool?

(laughing)

I don't think I could do any

actual, like manly sailing,

but maybe if I did

something like with a whale

watching tour guide or something.

Emily:Oh, that'd be so cute.

(kiss)

Charlie:Don't be so sensitve.

Emily:Your a little whale watcher.

Charlie:Yeah.

(sighs)

Emily:I can't believe we own a house.

Charlie:Yeah. I know.

We are going to be in a

lot of debt, if the bank

doesn't take it away

from us before we finish unpacking.

Emily:My dad took care of a lot of it.

Charlie:I know.

That was really nice of him.

Well, your mom said when

we were leaving their

place, she was asking me about grandkids.

Emily:Oh yeah?

Charlie:Yeah.

Emily:Of course she was.

Charlie:Yeah. She definitely wants some.

(laughing)

Emily:In our own time mom.

Charlie:I know that's what I was thinking.

We can practice right?

(laughing)

Emily:Yeah.

(kissing)

Thanks for coming here with me.

Charlie:Of course.

Thanks for sticking by me.

(laughing)

I'm just a jobless outdoor stage crewman.

(laughing)

Emily:Who I love very much.

Charlie:What the hell kind of job am I

going to get?

Emily:I don't know. The future is yours.

Charlie:Yeah, I guess so.

Emily:A whole new place, a whole new plan.

Charlie:To the future.

To the future.

I wish we were European.

We'd be so much cooler.

Emily:I know.

[unintelligible].

Amy:Please. Thank you

very much. Please do.

What were you saying?

Emily:Oh, I was going

to say you met Charlie

at my house the other day?

Amy:Yeah, I guess. Kind

of an informal meet.

Emily:I should have probably warned you.

Amy:No. Oh no I mean I knew he like -

I mean I heard someone

clearing their throat

and moving around and

it clearly was not you.

Emily:I'm sorry I put

you in that position.

Amy:Oh, I didn't mind.

I just felt bad because

I was hopping out in my

wifebeater without my bra.

(laughing)

Emily:Well you probably

didn't expect a guy to be

in the house, so I'm sorry about that.

Amy:No, I didn't mind.

It was actually very funny.

Emily:Okay.

Amy:More so afterwards

when I'd had a coffee.

Emily:Okay.

Amy:Why do I have to keep processing which

number is bigger?

What is going on with me?

Emily:Hopefully he was cordial.

Amy:He was.

Emily:Not too -

Amy:He offered me tea or something.

Emily:Oh he did?

Amy:Yeah, it was really sweet.

Emily:Good. I was hoping he wouldn't get

like neurotic or anything.

(laughing)

Amy:Well he seemed -

I felt that because I

had to scoot out of there

and he was just, he was funny.

He seems like a nervous guy.

(laughing)

Emily:He's nervous yeah.

Amy:He's cute.

Emily:That's a good word for it.

Amy:How long have you guys been together?

Emily:Oh God, like two years.

Amy:Wow. That's a long time.

Emily:I think he's doing okay up here.

Amy:Yeah?

Emily:Yeah, I don't think

it really mattered to him

where we lived, but I don't know.

He just got a job the

other day so I think that

will help.

Amy:Yeah, that's good.

Emily:Yeah, we'll see. We'll see.

So, is everything okay with him lately?

Amy:Mm-hmm. He's good.

Emily:Good.

Amy:He really likes you a lot.

Emily:Good.

Amy:He was talking and he was like -

He's like she's just so grown up.

I'm like well yeah it's been 10 years.

Emily:That's so cute.

Amy:It is really cute.

I was like I know dad

she's blossomed to a woman.

Emily:Oh.

Amy:You have. It's so amazing.

Emily:He looks good though.

I haven't seen him in 10 years and

he looks almost the same.

Dad:Oh this is what we do.

We'd stop and buy wine and then all the

different cheese and vegetables and bread

and we would stop and have a picnic.

Picnic.

Amy:Picnic.

Dad:It was your typical road.

You'd have to wait for the cows.

(laughing)

Look at that countryside

it's just beautiful.

Amy:That looks good. Look

at all the brie cheese.

Dad:Oh yeah.

Amy:Oh!

Dad:Oh, that's the best picture of you

in France. Look at that.

(laughing)

That nailed it.

(people talking)

(light music)

Paul:How you doing guy?

Charlie:Hey man. I'm Charlie.

Paul:How's it going?

Paul.

Charlie:Oh, hey Paul.

Um, do you think my coats okay out there?

Paul:Yeah, sure.

Everybody keeps their coat

out there.

Charlie:There's like

this - I don't know if

he's a fisherman or something.

He's kind of a shifty guy.

Paul:That's Ted. He's our security guy.

Charlie:Oh, all right

cool. Um, hey could I

get a vodka tonic?

Paul:Sure, yeah no problem.

Charlie:Thank you.

Paul:So you live around here? What's -

Charlie:Oh, yeah. Yeah. We just moved here

my girlfriend and I.

Paul:Oh, yeah? From where?

Charlie:From New York actually.

Paul:Oh, nice.

Charlie:Yeah.

Paul:How's it up there?

How's the weather?

Charlie:It's good. It's good.

Hey, do you know who those girls are?

Paul:Oh that's Amy. Amy and Kristen.

Charlie:Yeah?

Paul:They're around here a lot.

Charlie:Shh, don't say it so loud.

Lesbians?

Paul:Yeah.

Charlie:Oh. The blonde is Amy?

Paul:Yeah, that's Amy.

Charlie:Hm, uh, hm. What do I owe you?

Paul:That'll be $10.

Charlie:Okay. $10?

For this thing?

Paul:Yep.

Charlie:Are you serious?

Paul:It's a vodka soda.

Charlie:Is there some

local fee or something?

Paul:Yeah, if you were here

earlier for happy hour.

Charlie:I've got $8.00. Is that okay?

Paul:No, it's $10.

Charlie:Oh, wait hold on another $5.

Okay.

Paul:All right.

Charlie:Charge less,

maybe you'll get a tip

next time, huh?

(light music)

I don't think girls should

wear all that makeup.

Emily:I don't wear a lot of makeup.

Charlie:I know.

I just don't think girls

should wear any makeup.

Emily:Well, I agree with

you, but society thinks

otherwise.

Charlie:So, who cares?

Facebook cares?

Emily:Hollywood cares.

Charlie:Hollywood.

I get all my fashion tips from Bollywood.

(laughing)

Emily:That's clear.

Charlie:Where you guys going?

Emily:I don't know yet.

I think we're going to decide

when we get down there.

Charlie:I want to make a baby with you.

Like, I think we should have a baby.

Emily:Yeah?

Charlie:Yeah.

Emily:Hmm. How long you

been thinking about this?

Charlie:I don't know.

I guess I don't know.

I just decided.

Emily:Just now?

Charlie:Yeah.

Well, you know I was thinking about it

and I thought well, I'd

like to have somebody

to hang out with here that I know.

I'm going to know my own baby.

(laughing)

Emily:I'm not enough for you?

Charlie:No, you're fine,

but you're always out.

You've got friends here you know?

Emily:Well, you can come too.

Charlie:I'm not going to go out.

Emily:Why not?

Charlie:Because I'm

going to be home thinking

about making a baby with you. Baby.

Emily:So you can have a little friend?

Charlie:Don't you want to make babies

with this body?

Emily:Of course I do.

Charlie:Look at these genes.

Emily:Look at them.

Charlie:Come on.

Emily:Right now?

Charlie:Right now.

(moaning)

I want to have a baby with you.

I do.

Emily:We'll talk about it later.

Charlie:I think we

should talk about it now.

(moaning)

Amy's a lesbian.

Emily:What?

Charlie:Your friend Amy is a lesbian.

Emily:How do you know that?

Charlie:I saw her at the bar

last night with some girl.

They were making out.

So, I asked the bartender if he knew them.

I asked him, I said, "Is that Amy?"

You know? Is that girl Amy?

And he said, "Yeah."

So then they were leaving

and so I decided to follow

them, and I followed

them out near their car

and they were kissing

some more and they got

in the car and left.

I don't know what's going on with you,

and with her or whatever,

but I just thought you

should know that.

I'm sorry.

Blonde woman:So how've you been?

Amy:I'm okay.

Blonde woman:I've been thinking about you.

Amy:Awe, that's sweet.

Blonde woman:Oh, I mean

I just want to make sure

you know, you're good and

everything and I kind of

wish I was there with you

just to keep you company.

Amy:I know. I know. I

wish you were here too.

Yeah, I mean it's pretty much the same.

Blonde woman:Yeah?

Amy:Like what? I think I

talked to you last week

sometime. Yeah.

Blonde woman:Yeah, I don't -

I mean I just don't like

that because then it just

makes it harder for

both of you to move on.

You know and it's just

got to be hard, still

talking to her.

Like, do you guys act like

nothing's really different

or is she sad?

Amy:Yeah. I mean she -

Blonde woman:Hard man.

Amy:I try to act really

normal and she is just -

It's just, you know, she's sort of needy.

Blonde woman:Yeah?

Amy:Yeah. I mean you

remember. She was always

kind of like that, but

now it's just heightened

because I've made myself

slightly unavailable.

I feel like I'm juggling

a bunch of bitches.

Blonde woman:(laughing)

Oh my sis. The pimp.

Amy:I know. The pimp. I

don't really mean that.

That sounded bad.

Blonde woman:No it didn't.

It sounded awesome.

Amy:Okay good.

(laughing)

Blonde woman:I'm juggling bastards.

Amy:Baskets?

What'd you say? (laughing)

Blonde woman:Not baskets. Bastards.

(laughing)

(light music)

Emily:Oh my God. [unintelligible].

Why do you walk so fucking fast Amy?

Amy:I'm not walking fast at all.

Emily:Amy!

Amy:What?

Emily:You walk so fast.

Amy:No. What are you doing?

No. Whoa. No. No. No.

Emily:Let's go. Open the door.

(flipping door handle)

Amy:You're going to have to hold on. Okay?

Emily:It's fucking cold.

(sighs)

Did you see the lobsters?

They're hilarious.

(light music)

(laughing)

Emily:I got it.

(light music)

Amy:What?

(kiss)

(footsteps)

(sliding door)

Amy:Hey did I wake you? Okay.

I just wanted to say goodnight.

You going to bed?

Okay.

All right. Have a good day tomorrow.

Okay. Thanks.

All right. Soon. Okay.

(laugh)

Okay. All right. (laugh)

Okay bye.

(windchimes)

(light music)

(water running)

(brushing teeth)

Emily:Hey.

Amy:Hey.

Emily:Um, I'm going to

go so I just wanted to

say goodbye.

Amy:All right. See you.

Emily:Okay, I'll see you later.

(hammering)

(windchimes)

Dad:What you're looking

at is the beginning

of the 1600s and so obviously those aren't

photographs there, but

they're paintings of

some of the people who

would have been here,

old maps and aerial photos

and so those are kind

of the 1600s and then you

get over in here maybe

into the early 1700s and

they're just artifacts

and stories which I wrote

a couple of years ago

and then we found the

images to put with these

stories, and some people

actually stop and take

the time to read them,

but the project that

you could work on is we

need to make a catalogue

of this because people are

more likely to read these

if they could buy it.

Emily:Oh, okay.

Dad:Take the stories with

them with some pictures.

Emily:Perfect.

Dad:So, there's another project.

Emily:Okay, great.

Dad:And which, you couldn't put all these

pictures in, but you could

put selective pictures.

Maybe figure out which images.

Obviously you want to try to -

We could reduce these maps here.

Emily:Right, yeah.

Dad:They might be able

to fit in, and then -

But there's no reason

why we couldn't put all

those stories in because

they don't take up that

much room.

Emily:Okay.

Dad:And then just certain

selected images that

we think would be cool to

have with it and we have

the introduction around

the corner, which says

Rye on the rocks.

So, that could be the

front page or something

like that.

Emily:Okay.

Dad:Yeah.

Emily:Oh great. That will be fun.

Dad:Yeah.

(solemn music)

(people talking)

Kristen:Your hair is getting so long.

Amy:I know, I need to trim

it. It's all in my face.

You look really nice.

Kristen:Thanks.

Um, so can I take you

to dinner on Thursday?

Amy:Oh wow. That's really nice.

Um, I don't see why not. Sure.

Kristen:Cool.

Amy:I don't really know

if I'm working, but

I don't think I would be.

I don't usually work on those nights, but

I just want to double check.

Kristen:Yeah, I mean whatever.

Whatever. Next week.

Amy:Next, next Thursday.

Kristen:I mean this Thursday or -

Amy:Oh, this - Yeah. Right.

(laughing)

Amy:That'd be nice. Oh where do you -

Do you have a place in

mind? Did you want me to

think of a place or -

Kristen:Whatever you want.

Wherever you want. You pick.

Think about it. Think. Think

about it and let me know.

Amy:Okay.

(laughing)

Kristen:I'll make a reservation.

Amy:That sounds good,

thank you for doing that.

That would be fun. Yeah.

I'll let you - I can let

you know like tomorrow or

something if I can do that.

Kristen:Okay.

Amy:Okay.

(phone vibrating)

Kristen:Uh, so -

I had fun last time I saw you.

(laughing)

Amy:Oh yeah. Wow. I had fun too.

Kristen:I mean I did too, but whatever.

Amy:Yeah. Okay that was strange.

No, but - Yeah it was a

night. It was like old times.

Kristen:Like old times.

Not that old.

Amy:Yeah I know. We sound like geezers.

Dinner should be fun though.

That will be good.

Kristen:Yeah.

Amy:I'll have to think of a fun place.

Kristen:Somewhere cozy.

Amy:Cozy?

Kristen:Do you need to

step outside and make

a call or something?

Amy:No. No I'm sorry.

Kristen:Okay.

Amy:My sister, she keeps writing me.

Kristen:How's Shannon?

Amy:She's good.

Kristen:Yeah?

You just seem distracted.

Amy:I know. It's really

rude of me. I'm sorry.

Is that new?

Kristen:Yeah. Um, look at me.

I feel like -

I feel like we're not on

the same page or something.

Amy:No I'm here. I'm listening.

I'm sorry about the phone.

I'm sorry.

Kristen:That's fine.

Amy:I'm here.

Kristen:Okay.

Amy:I'll let you know about dinner.

Kristen:Yeah.

Amy:I'll think of a place.

That will be good right?

Kristen:Yeah, maybe we

can dress up or something.

Amy:Mm-hmm.

Emily:Amy it's me, can you please just

call me back? Please,

soon when you get this.

Okay, bye.

(solemn music)

Dad:What's going on?

Amy:Not much really.

Just talking.

Dad:Yeah?

Amy:Mm-hmm. That's pretty much it though.

Dad:Hmm.

Amy:That's pretty much

how I'm going to keep it

for a little bit.

Dad:So, nothing else about Kristen, huh?

Just yacking?

Amy:Just yacking. That's it.

Dad:That's not very interesting.

It certainly isn't informative.

(laughing)

I mean what the hell?

Amy:I know.

Dad:That was a nonanswer.

Amy:I know.

Well, I don't know what to say.

There's nothing. Nope. That's it.

Dad:Okay.

Dad:You haven't responded to this.

Amy:I want your pistachios.

Dad:Oh, I thought you

wanted to hold my hand.

You wanted a pistachio.

Here you go.

(laughing)

This is really what I wanted to show you.

Check this out.

Amy:That's not me is it?

(laughing)

Dad:That's a card you can send somebody

but you don't think I'm going

to send that to anybody.

That's too cool.

(laughing)

Amy:Oh my God. That's so wrong.

(laughing)

Where'd you get this?

Dad:Oh, I don't know but

when I saw it, I said that's

a keeper.

Amy:Little chubby feet.

Oh that is. Oh my God.

I can't look at that

for very long.

(laughing)

That makes me uncomfortable.

(laughing)

Dad:Oh, they're little

kids. They're innocent.

Amy:Yeah, but still.

Dad:Yeah, but before long

they won't be innocent.

Right?

Okay. Yeah I know.

Amy:I think those little

kids are big kids now.

Emily:Charlie. I kissed Amy.

Charlie:You kissed her?

(laughing)

Emily:I just wanted to tell you.

Charlie:Did you have sex with her?

Emily:No. No.

(laughing)

Charlie:Don't act so shocked.

I saw her. She has an exgirlfriend. Okay?

It's a perfectly legitimate thing to ask.

Emily:Okay well. No.

Charlie:But you kissed her.

Emily:Yeah.

Charlie:You sure you

didn't have sex with her?

Emily:Yeah.

Charlie:Did you want to have sex with her?

Emily:Charlie stop it.

I told you I kissed her. That's it.

Charlie:Did you want to have sex with her?

Answer, just answer me.

Did you want to have sex with her?

Emily:Stop asking me that.

Charlie:Well just say yes or no.

Clearly I want to know.

Look at me in the eye. Yes or no.

Emily:I don't know.

Charlie:You don't know

if you had sex with her?

Or if you wanted to have sex with her.

That's a huge difference right there.

Emily:Stop it.

Charlie:Tell me. No, tell me. Yes or no?

Did you want to have sex with her?

Did you have sex with her?

Emily:No!

Charlie:Okay, you had sex with Amy. Great.

Emily:No I didn't!

Charlie:You had sex.

Emily:No I didn't. I

kissed her that was it.

Charlie:Did you want to have sex with her?

Emily:I don't know!

Charlie:You don't know

if you wanted to have sex

with her?

That's huge. That's crazy.

It's one thing if you kissed her. Okay?

That's one thing.

But if you don't know if

you wanted to have sex

with her -

When you were kissing her

did you think about me

at all?

Emily:Oh, God. Stop it.

Charlie:No, tell me. I want to know.

Did I run across your

mind or did you forget

about little Charlie and

his little light blue house?

Just hanging out by himself.

Did you forget about me?

Emily:No.

Charlie:Did you forget about me?

While you were

contemplating whether or not

you wanted to have sex with her.

Did I exist in your mind at all?

You know, it's not the

fourth grade anymore.

She's not your little friend.

You guys are big girls now.

(door creaking)

(footsteps)

(door opening and closing)

(footsteps)

Emily:Amy. I've been calling you all week.

What's the deal?

Who's that girl?

Who's the girl?

How could you hide her from me?

Just tell me.

Amy, tell me.

Amy. Come on.

I know okay. Just tell me.

Who is she?

Amy:So, after you left

I came out of the closet

to everybody but you weren't here.

Two weeks ago I broke

up with my girlfriend of

three years, Kristen.

That's that. Do you want dates?

Do you want?

Emily:No, I want to

know why you didn't tell

me before.

Amy:I don't know. I can't answer that.

I didn't. I didn't.

Emily:What? You don't trust me?

Amy:It's not that I don't trust you.

I haven't seen you in 10 years.

A lot has happened, and

I'm telling you now.

Emily:So, what am I supposed to do now?

(talking to dog)

(bouncing ball)

(groan)

(bouncing ball)

Amy:Oh. Ow.

(bouncing ball)
