Bridge and Tunnel (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Just Friends - full transcript

When you leave,
this is over.

Why does it have to be over?

You've got this great guy
who loves you.

Take advantage of that.

Says our futures
aren't compatible.

What would you do if Tammy
wanted to hook up with you?

Bueno, that's better.

Very professional.

Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.

Do me a fucking favor, Tammy,
and don't tell me what to do.

Maybe it's time for me to get
my fucking shit together, right?



Just like we said, huh?

Just like all of yous are
fucking telling me all the time?

[soft acoustic music]

Okay, here, like,
we always sort of, like...

We go back G,
but maybe E minor instead?

- Yeah.
- So give it to me again.

♪ He's cute enough
despite his crooked teeth ♪

I love that.
I love that.

- So maybe, like, G.
- ♪ He's cute enough

- ♪ Despite
- That work?

Yeah.

All right,
sorry to interrupt you,

Hall and Oates,
but it seems that my copy

of Cornerstone
has gone missing.



Yeah, I burned it.

[chuckles mockingly]
Very funny.

- Where the fuck is it?
- I'm completely serious.

I told you if I had to hear
"Babe" one more time,

I was throwing that shit
in the fireplace.

Okay, I can't tell
if you're joking or not,

but until I find it,

I'm gonna add another
$6.99 to what you owe me.

Can you believe
that I'm actually related

to somebody
who not only loves Styx

- but also hates The Clash?
- You do not.

Okay, I do not
hate The Clash.

I'm saying
that they're overrated.

I mean, they get
all this great reviews

and this great press.

Meanwhile,
a truly awesome band

like Styx
gets fucking crucified

and unjustly maligned
by every single rock magazine.

[chuckles]
I'm sorry. You're shitting me.

A truly awesome band, Styx?

I'd take "Come Sail Away"
over "London Calling"

any day of the week.

You're obviously
a fucking idiot.

I concur.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Well, if you two

really feel like that,
when I become a big shot

in the music biz, don't come
crawling to me for help.

That's not something
you need to worry about.

- We won't.
- Oh, cool.

Why don't you
sail the fuck away?

[laughter]

♪ I'm gonna be lonely

[singing together]
♪ Without you

I better find
that fucking album.

- You're not gonna find it.
- [laughs]

[laughing]
You're not gonna find it.

Anne Murray's "Danny's Song"...

♪ People smile and tell me ♪

♪ I'm the lucky one ♪
Season 01 Episode 04

I swear, I-I don't know
what the fuck I'm gonna do.

No, this was my seventh
interview the past two weeks,

and I haven't gotten
one single call back.

Maybe it's a good thing,
you know?

I mean, you were saying
that you saw all those people

sitting at those desks
day after day.

It just looked like
a death sentence to you, so...

I know, but what
other options I have, hm?

I gotta get a job.



Hey, Rosie?

Do you mind covering
my two-top for me?

Yeah, don't worry.
I got it.

Thank you.

Hey, you remember
back in high school,

you used to come in here
all the time,

sitting over there
at that booth by the window,

and stay for hours working
on those comic books of yours?

Yeah?
You still do those?

- Uh, no, definitely not.
- No?

No, come on, it's just like
it says in the Bible, you know,

"When I was a child,
I did childish things,

but when I became a man,
I set aside my childish ways."

I don't think
that's childish at all.

I mean, I think
that they showed

that you had an actual talent,
but hey, I mean,

I'm sure you're gonna make
a very talented accountant too.

What is it with this idea
you have in your head of me

being some kind of an artist?

What, that I actually see
that you have this gift

and that you are talented?

I don't know.

You're saying
that these interviews

aren't going well anyway.

Maybe... maybe you can
do something with this.

You know?

Dad, we've got a situation.

It's Jill calling for Jimmy.
What do you want me to do?

Oh, shit, really?

Is he home?

Yeah, he's in the darkroom.

All right, well,
I'm gonna leave it up to you.

I wash my hands
of the entire affair.

Coward.

Hey, Jimmy,
you down there?

- I'm busy!
- What are you doing?

Jerking it?

No, I'm working!
Now get the hell out of here!

Okay, then,
I'll just let Jill know

you're too busy jacking off
to come to the phone then.

No, no, no, no,
don't you dare!

You wanna...
You wanna talk to her?

Give me the phone.

Hello.

Hey.
Is it a good time to talk?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

Good, 'cause I got
a proposition for you.

Okay, I'm listening.

Oh, me too.
What'd she say?

So you remember
my friend Juliana?

You took those head shots
for her last year.

Her and her boyfriend,
they just broke up,

so I think
I'm gonna set her up with Pags.

- What do you think?
- Oh, really?

That's...
That's your proposition?

Yeah.
She was over here last night,

and I showed her that photo
that you took of all of us.

You remember the one
where we're sitting

on the lifeguard stand?
And she thinks he's cute, so...

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember that one.

That was, uh,
July 4th last summer.

Oh, what a great day...

Even better night,
as I remember.

[whispers]
Shut the fuck up.

Get the fuck out of here.

Yeah, I mean
it was a good night,

but that's not
what I'm calling about.

So do you think
he'd be into her?

[chuckles]

I think he's gonna die
from shock when he hears

a girl that cool
would even want to talk to him.

[laughs]
Good.

So give him my number.
Tell him to call.

She's gonna be here
this weekend,

so it would be
a good opportunity

- to introduce them.
- All right.

Yeah, I'll give him
the number.

What about you?
How you been?

Good, I guess.
And you?

I've been all right.

You know, working for my pops,
not doing much else.

You don't want to mention
the darkroom, jacking off?

Please shut the fuck up.

Are you counting down
the days till you leave?

[chuckles]
Yeah, I-I guess.

Thanks for doing this.

Hopefully I'll get to see you
before you take off.

Yeah, maybe.

Okay, bye.

So how late
you gotta work tonight?

Yeah, the other girl
called in sick,

- so I'm stuck here all night.
- Oof.

- Yeah.
- That sucks.

I was, um, kinda hoping
you'd be down to hang out.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Hey, it's cool if you can't.

No, well, I mean,
maybe I can do something

tomorrow night, you know?

Unless you already have plans.

- No, I-I don't have any plans.
- Yeah?

So you want
to do something then?

Yeah, yeah, I'd...
I'd love to.

Um, what do you want to do?

I don't know.
We could... we could take it easy.

Go to the movies or something...
Just chill.

Or we can go into the city.
We can go dancing.

You know, we can go
to, um, Danceteria

or, um... or The World.

Oh, Mikey, I went last weekend,

The World is,
like, this dance club,

and they have
all these different levels,

and it's different music
on each level,

- so you can go...
- No, hey, look, I get it.

That all sounds real fun,

but all those places
probably have a cover.

Well, I'll take care of it.
I mean, don't worry about it.

All you have to do
is pick me up

at my place at 8:30...

That's gonna be
another problem.

- Oh.
- Yeah, my old man,

he's just being
a real big ballbuster.

Won't let me use the car until
I get a freaking job, so...

You want to pick me up?

Yeah, I'll... I'll pick you up
then at 8:30, okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Okay.

I didn't realize
that you needed

- your beauty sleep, both of you.
- 10:30 at night.

[phone rings]

Whoa, excuse me, young lady,

but why are you getting up
from the table during dinner?

Because the phone is ringing.

Yeah, and the phone is there
for our convenience,

not the caller's.
Sit down.

- Maybe it's Mom.
- Mom?

It's already
after midnight in Rome.

She should already be asleep,
and if she's not,

I don't want to know about it.

Dad, you're freaking bananas,
and I'm overriding you on this

because it could be for me.

The Farrell residence.

It's Jill. Again.

You had to answer it, right?
You happy now?

Hey. [clears throat]
How's it going?

So I just got off the phone
with Juliana,

and she can't do next weekend
'cause she's gotta work,

so she's wondering
if he's free tomorrow night.

Well, yeah, I'll ask,
but I doubt it's a problem.

Also she's feeling
a little bit freaked out

about going on a blind date,

so she's asked
if I'll come along.

What do you mean,
like a chaperone?

No, just to make it
less awkward.

Don't you think
your being there

- will make it more awkward?
- I don't fucking know.

She's insisting.

Well, look,
here's what we could do.

It might be a crazy idea,
but what if

I come along as well, and we
do it like a double date?

But you and me will just
be there as friends, all right?

Just to make it
a little less awkward for them.

Yeah, I don't think
that's such a good idea.

What did she say?

None of your
fucking business.

Wh... I mean, what is it now?

We can't even be friends?
Is that it?

Oh, okay,
you want to be friends?

'Cause, you know,
I can be friends.

- I'm just worried about you.
- Absolutely.

That's what I miss more
than anything, our friendship.

Oh, my God, Dad,
did you hear that?

- I'm gonna puke.
- I did. Pathetic!

Look, it doesn't
have to be a big deal.

I can do this as friends,
I promise.

- Jill, he's lying!
- Okay, sure, why not?

But it's gotta be
tomorrow night.

It's her only night off
this week,

so hopefully he can make it.

Oh, hey, don't worry.
He'll make it.

And just so were clear,
you and me,

just friends.
Nothing more.

Of course, yes.
Just friends.

To a love

that just won't die.

I hope you know
you're the most pathetic dude

that has ever lived.

Yeah, jealousy
will get you nowhere.

Hey, big guy, what can I say?

I mean,
thanks are in order again.

I ask for a miracle,
and you deliver.

I guess going to mass on Sunday
did the trick, huh?

So, thanks.

Oh, and, uh, thank you
for my mother and my father,

and, uh,
I know she's a pain in the ass,

but thank you
for my sister, too.

Amen.

- ♪ I could learn to love

♪ I can learn to love it,

♪ I can learn to love him

That's... that's great,
really good.

I was listening from inside.

Is that, like,
a new song or something?

The answer's no.

You don't even know
what I'm gonna ask yet.

Yes, I do.

You have a hot date tonight,
and you want the car.

How could you
possibly know that?

Oh, I told her
about the date,

but I knew nothing
about the car.

Thank you for that.

Yeah, can I have
the car tonight?

- You can have it tomorrow.
- No.

Unless you are willing
to make a deal.

Um, how much money
do I know you, exactly?

- 537 bucks.
- Get the fuck out of here.

Wait, when did I cross
the $500 mark?

Well, let's take
a look-see, shall we?

Here we go.

Yeah, you were in
for 474 in March.

- Okay.
- Then you took out

a $50 loan to fix that amp.

Shit.

Eight bucks for gas
the other day.

And let's not forget the $6.99

for the Styx album
that you torched.

Okay, okay, I will give you
the car on one condition.

Yeah, no problem.

I'll take 20 bucks off,
and then we'll have it done.

- Can you believe this man?
- [laughs]

Pags, you're gonna have to do
better than that.

Yeah, definitely.

Hey, Genie, why the fuck
are you getting involved here?

Oh, um, because I happen
to know what's at stake here.

Jimmy showed me a picture
of this chick

that you're supposed
to go out with tonight,

and let me just say,
she is gorgeous.

Way the fuck
out of your league.

- Oh, really?
- Way the fuck. Like...

Really, really?

Okay, so I can see
why this is so important,

so I'm gonna make you a deal.

I will give you the car
if you knock me down

- to an even 400.
- What?

That's over 100 bucks.

And I want you
to admit right now

that The Clash rock
and Styx sucks.

This is bullshit.

No, no, this is, like...
This is coercion.

No, no, it's worse.
This is duress.

This is a contract
made under duress,

which is illegal, by the way.

Do you wanna call the cops?

'Cause it sounds like
you're under duress.

[laughs]

Okay, fine.
Fine, you got a deal.

Okay. Come on,
I want to hear you say it.

Nice, loud, and clear.

[quietly]
The Clash... rock.

Sorry, I couldn't hear you.

The Clash rock.

Thank you.

And Styx...

- Are better than them.
- Ah, come on.

Okay, no.
I'm not gonna do this.

This is bullshit.
You know why?

'Cause when I believe
in a band,

I don't sell them
down the river, okay?

I'm loyal,
which is gonna make me

a great fucking music attorney.
You know what?

Fuck this.
I'm gonna take a fucking cab.

Okay.

Nicky, Nicky,
you can have the car.

So a double date?

- No, we're chaperoning.
- Oh, you're chaperoning.

Yeah, we're just
gonna keep them company,

help them break the ice.

[chuckles]
You are so full of shit.

I'm sorry.

Hey, why would you say
something like that?

Because you know
that that is not

what this is.
I mean, even if you want

to convince yourself otherwise.
Come on, Jill.

No, I don't know that.

What I do know
is that I'm trying

to do a good deed
for my good friend, Juliana.

Oh, okay,
and I wish them well.

I really do, but you need
to admit something to me first.

Yeah?

You miss Jimmy, and you
want to hang out with him,

and that's why
you're doing this.

Yeah, of course I miss him
and want to hang out with him,

but just as a friend.

Okay, keep
telling yourself that.

I have something
to admit to you, too.

I also have a date tonight.

Is it with Mikey?

- Okay, have you told Stacey?
- No.

- Are you going to?
- Why would I do that?

I mean, it's not like they're
seeing each other anymore.

Because she's been
one of your best friends

since junior high.
You have to tell her.

Um, do I though?

Because, I mean,
the past few years,

I've barely seen her.

I mean,
since I went to college,

I've barely hung out with her.

- It doesn't fucking matter.
- Doesn't it, though?

Yeah, it does!

It doe...

So y... so I'm right,
and so it doesn't matter.

You know, Pags,
I find it very interesting

you don't have any problem
with me talking to Jill again.

That's 'cause it's for
a good cause, my friend.

Yeah, and the fact that she
and I will be joining you

on this double date,
you're okay with that, too?

Again, a noble cause.

You know, if you weren't
helping out your brother,

I'd be against it,
but since it's for the good

of the brotherhood,
how can I not support it?

What does this girl
look like anyhow?

Dude, fucking gorgeous.
Off the charts.

Why the fuck does she want
to go out with him then?

You heard the man.

She took one look
at my picture and thought,

"I like this guy."

You know, she probably looked
at my kind face and thought,

"That looks like a good guy.

"That looks like a guy I can
have a nice conversation with.

That looks like a guy I could
have a real connection with."

You know?

You know what that sounds
like to me, Pags?

Huh?

A guy that's
not gonna get laid.

Whoa, Mikey, yep, yep.
Hold it right there, Mike.

Hey, Scavullo, enough
with the fucking pictures.

This is getting
fucking weird, isn't it?

Just fucking keep doing what
you're doing

and don't look at the lens.

Gorgeous.
Perfect.

Hey, so, what do you think?
I hope you don't mind.

I took the liberty,
I framed it,

I hung it up,
and I gotta admit,

I think it looks
pretty fucking great.

[chuckles] Yeah.
Yeah, I noticed that, thanks.

And I hope you know how proud
your mother and I are of you.

It was quite the sight seeing
you up on stage getting this.

Gotta admit, the old man

even might've shed
a little bit of a tear.

Oh, Yeah?
That's a surprise.

Well, thanks.

And, uh, I promise I-I'll pay
you back for the tuition.

Do me a favor.

Don't worry about that
for now, all right?

You've already exceeded
our expectations

by getting the job
at National Geographic.

But what I did want to talk
to you about was you and Jill.

I mean, are you sure this is
a good idea, this date tonight?

Dad, come on.

I mean, what is it
with you and Mom

always ganging up on Jill?
How come you don't like her?

That's not it.
We like her fine.

You just made us
a little nervous last summer

when you started talking
about getting married.

Jeez.
But I wasn't saying

I wanted to get married
anytime soon.

I was talking about
in the future.

And you know what?

I think that's what
scared her off, too.

I always do that, you know?

I get too emotional,

and then I get caught up
in a moment,

and I say what I feel,
and it bites me in the ass.

It's called passion.

And that emotion
you're describing

is what makes you an artist.

All right, so you don't want
to beat yourself up over that.

You want to embrace
that part of your personality.

Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.

I-I think it comes across
too intense for some people.

But you know what?
Too bad about them.

You remember
when you were looking

at the Bruce Davidson pictures

and you were describing to me
how they made you feel?

To feel like that is a gift,

and you don't want
to give that up.

- Maybe you're right.
- Of course I'm right.

I'm your father.

I mean, speaking of gifts,
though,

come on.

I gotta admit, kid,
you look pretty sharp.

Actually, you kind
of remind me of somebody.

- Paul Newman?
- Uh, no.

I was thinking
of somebody else.

Somebody maybe, you know...

Travolta?

Up yours, kid.

Oh, you! Yeah.

No, Dad, you were...
You were pick number three.

Eh.

So let me get this straight.

You guys all grew up together
on the same block?

Mm, yeah.

Same grammar school,

same junior high,
same high school.

We've been best friends since
we're in the first grade.

But now this guy
is abandoning us

in a couple weeks.

Yeah,
it's ten days, actually.

Right, right, right.

You're gonna go take
some pictures of some cattle

- or something in Canada, right?
- No, they're not cattle.

They're caribou,
the Mulchatna herd,

and it's actually
in Alaska, not Canada,

and, um, I'm not gonna be
taking the pictures.

I'll just be assisting
the photographer.

Yeah, but it's, like,
way cooler than that.

It's like for
National Geographic,

and the photographer's
a huge deal, right?

Okay, excuse me.

How long are you gonna be gone?

Uh, not that long.

Mm, six months, actually.

Is that true?
Six months in Alaska?

I hope you don't mind
me saying this,

but that sounds
like it's gonna be hard

and, uh, maybe even horrible.

No, it's like... hey, what's
the photographer's name again?

Bill Ford.

So Bill Ford is,
like, this amazing...

Probably the most, like,
famous wildlife photographer

in the world.
He's, like, huge.

And he saw
one of Jimmy's photos,

and he fucking loved it,
so he just was like,

"You want a job?"
And he said yes, you know?

You should hire her
to do your press releases.

- I just think it's cool.
- [chuckles]

[horn honks]

What the hell?

Your brother's letting you
use his car now?

Yeah, I mean,
it's mine till he gets back

from the Army, right?

All right,
get the hell in here.

- Come on.
- [laughs]

All right, so look,
I gotta tell you

right off the bat,
all right?

What?

I was kind of hoping
you'd be cool

if we don't go
to the city tonight.

You know, I just...
I don't want to start off

- by mooching off of you.
- No, no.

You're not mooching at all.
I mean, I don't mind paying.

That's why I offered
to go and...

Hey, hey, even still,
even still, I just...

Can we...
Can we do something else?

You know, something cheap?

Maybe go to The Tavern,
grab a couple drinks, relax.

The Tavern.
Um, do...

Do you not want to go?
Do you...

What? No.
It's just my pride.

Hey, I can't handle you picking
up the covers and the drinks.

It's just too much, all right?
I'm sorry.

It's okay,
yeah, we can go to the...

Hey, hey,
can I tell you something?

You look fantastic tonight.

Really, I-I mean,
I don't think

I've ever seen you
look this great.

You think so?

Hey, look,
I know so, all right?

I've always thought
you were fine as hell, really.

I had no idea.
You really did?

I always... what?
Come on.

You know that,
and if it wasn't for Stacey,

I would have asked you out
a long time ago.

- Really?
- Yeah.

How do you think, um...

How do you think
she would react

if she knew what was...
What was happening here?

To be honest, I don't think
she'd give a shit.

Yeah,
why would you say that?

Because I just...

[The Manhattans'
"Shining Star"]

Because we
haven't done anything.

♪ Are my shining star

♪ Don't you go away



♪ Oh, baby

♪ Wanna be right here

Um, I...

I think I need
to get a drink first.

I think maybe
we should do that,

if that's okay with you.

- Okay, yeah.
- Are you sure?

Yeah, that's okay.

Yeah, hey,
only if I get the first round.

Okay, the first round
can be on you.

I'll take it.
I'll take it.

Yeah, let's...
Let's get a drink first.

And what about you, Nicky?

Jill said you're going
to law school next year.

Yeah, that, uh...
That is the plan.

Right now I'm wait-listed
at Brooklyn Law,

so everything
kind of hangs on that,

- but I should hear any minute.
- Nice.

What kind of law
do you want to practice?

I want to be
a music attorney.

You know, represent bands,

do the record deals,
stuff like that.

Yeah,
Pags is a music fanatic.

Let me tell you.

Ever since junior high,
he's been dragging us to shows,

all these random bands
no one's ever heard of.

- Really?
- Guilty.

What are you listening
to right now?

Uh, right now,
I'm obsessed with St...

"London Calling."

You know,
The Clash's new album.

Thank fucking God.

I thought
you were gonna say Styx.

We'd have to get
the check right now.

[all chuckle]

Have you told him what I do?

No, but this is why I thought
you guys would be a good match.

So what is it
that you do, Juliana?

I write for
Billboardmagazine,

mostly doing concert reviews.

Get the fuck out of here.

Wait, so what do you do?

You just go to concerts
and write about them?

Yeah, and I get in for free.
Drinks are comped.

No shit!
That's so cool.

How... how the hell
did you get that gig?

Well, I like to think
I'm a good journalist.

I mean,
that's fucking awesome.

I mean, that's got to be

the coolest job
I've ever heard.

Thank you.

Ooh, James, let me get this

as a thank you
for the two of you

for setting this up.

No, no, no, I'm paying half,
and you're paying half.

Wait, why are you
paying half?

- We'll just split it four ways.
- Ah, no dice.

Look, I don't mind
if you two split it,

but at least let me pay
for me and Juliana, you know.

We're the ones on a date.

Yeah, and let me pay
for you and me, babe, come on.

Absolutely not.

Unlike these two,
we are not on a date.

This is just us as friends.

And Pags, you know what?

You don't have to pay
for me either.

Just to make it
less complicated,

we'll all go Dutch.

Okay.

Uh, w-well, we're still on a...
On a date right?

I'm just saying
I'm having a really nice time,

and I want to make sure
that this us out

as more than just friends,
you know?

I'm not trying to rush you,

but I just want
to make it official, you know?

Yes, this can be
considered a date.

I'd even go so far as to say
a successful one.

Hey, ladies, uh,
just give us a second.

I think Pags is in the bathroom
fucking hyperventilating.

So we'll meet you
across the street, all right?

- Okay.
- All right.

So, what do you think?

He's cute.
He's funny.

But?

But he lives out here
on Long Island.

- How's this gonna work?
- So you'll take the train.

- I do it all the time.
- No.

No, next time he's gonna
come see me in the city.

Ooh, okay.

[grunting]
Dude, I'm in love.

She's awesome, pretty.
Did you notice her smile?

- Her teeth?
- Yeah, mm-hmm.

She's got
the most amazing teeth.

Yeah, I didn't really notice
her teeth, but uh, yeah,

it seemed like you two were
hitting it off pretty good.

Good?

Come on,
I thought it went great.

And she works in the music biz.

I mean, this girl's,
like, perfect for me.

It's like a match
made in heaven.

- Yeah.
- How was I?

Right, I didn't say
anything stupid, did I?

- You think she likes me, right?
- Yeah, no, dude.

You're... you're in good shape,
all right?

I don't know.

After tonight,
I'm not seeing too many

double dates after this.

Yeah, that "just friends"
line was kind of rough.

Eh, you'll be all right.
Come on.

Sorry for the wait.

So what do you guys
want to do now?

Before we do anything,
I want to talk to you.

- Me?
- Over here, yeah.

What's going on?

Is the sky blue?

Whoa, what's going on?

- What was that about?
- I don't know.

I just wanted to kiss you.

You got a problem with that?

No.

So I guess
you're used to seeing this.

Yeah, it's been like this
since seventh grade.

I can't believe
they just sit here

and make out
like this in public.

Why?

I mean it's not like
anyone's watching them.

We are.

Well, you know, we don't...
We don't need to be.

We could join them.

That came out...
No, we don't... not join them.

I'm saying
we could do what they're...

We could kiss as well.

I'm sorry, Pags.
I'm just not...

No, I'm... I'm sorry.
No, that was stupid.

I just thought that you...

It's cool.
It's okay.

I know.

Yeah, it's just not here

right now
in the parking lot.

- It's not my thing.
- Oh.

But maybe somewhere else
or at some other time?

Yeah, some other time.

Okay, well,
what about next week?

Yeah, yeah, I'd like that.

Really?

[Toto's "Hold the Line"]

- Okay, great.
- Great, cool.



Listen, I think
you're gonna kill me, but um,

I think we need to
clear this up with Stacey.

Oh, shit, really?
What do you want?

What are you suggesting?

Um, I don't know.
We could call her.

- Now?
- Mm-hmm.

You want to call her now
and say what?

Yeah, we could see
if she's, you know,

cool with us hanging out.

No?
Okay, is that crazy?

[chuckles]
Yes, that's fucking crazy.

But you know what?
Here.

I'll even pay for it.

Go ahead, make the call.

Okay, okay, okay.

Ugh, I couldn't do it.

Ah, are you serious?
Come on. Why not?

Because I know exactly
what she's gonna say

if she answers.

You know, if I don't want
to be her friend anymore,

then yeah, we can date,
but I don't know.

If we do,
I'm gonna lose a friend.

But then, on the flip side,

I don't know why we shouldn't
be able to date, you know?

She's... she's living in the city
with this guy now,

and it's not like you two
were ever a real couple

or anything like that, right?

I mean, if I want to date you,
I should be able

- to date you, right?
- Exactly.

I mean, why do you think
I asked you out, hm?

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- So...

I have been thinking about
what you said the other day.

I'm sorry.
I can't do it.

Um...

[sighs]

She's been
one of my best friends

since junior high, Mikey.

I don't think I'd ever
feel good about this.

Okay, so... so what?

This... that's it?
We're done?

No, no, I mean, we can
still hang out

as friends.

And you can keep coming
to the diner, you know,

and we can have our talks.

It's just... I'm gonna miss you
if you don't.

We can be friends.
We can hang out as friends.

That's... well, that's...

You know what?
Yeah, I can do that.

- I can do friends. Why not?
- Yeah.



All right, you two,
you want to come up

for air or something?

Yeah, it's time to either
get a room or call it a night.

He's right.
We should probably go.

I need to tell you something.

Guys, just give us
a minute, all right?

As long as you keep
your clothes on.

Look, uh,
I've been thinking,

and I'm cool
if you want to...

You know, if you want to have
your freedom when I leave

if it means a still get
to see you more before I go.



You want to call me tomorrow?

Yeah.

Okay.

♪ Hold the line

You got to drive, though.

I'm sure you're tired
from kissing.

Good night, Juliana.

I can call you, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Dude, you got to know

What are you gonna do,

start singing "Come Sail Away"

I'm trying to get
a girlfriend here.

All right, good night.

- Bye.
- Good night!

Bye!

I love you!

Kid said it, oh!

You're beautiful!
