Chasing Life (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 19 - Life, Actually - full transcript

Previously on "Chasing Life"...

Are you guys, a: Dating,
or b: Just other stuff?

B.

I realized that my
period was two weeks late.

I told Jake and he wrote me a check

so I could take care of it.

Beth Kingston, will you move in with me?

I want to take a year off to travel.

O-kay.

I kind of made out with your ex-boyfriend.

- Um, Dominic?
- It would never happen again.



You've got, like, nothing to worry about.

I never felt this way about anyone.

We all have private parts.

But there's one part I consider private

that not everyone does... The heart.

It's a vulnerable organ.

It breaks easily.

Some people are lucky enough
to know what it feels like

when it's full.

And then there's everybody else.

I happen to be one of those people.

I've never been in love before.

_

- That is so romantic.
- Yeah.



We had dinner and there was candles,

and then Graham asked
me to move in with him.

Wow.

Right?

But, Beth, you guys have been
dating, like, barely six months.

Isn't that a little fast?

Not really, no.

I care about Graham more
than any guy I've dated

in a really long time.

And he's right.

We won't see each other if
we don't move in together.

And I kind of like the idea of
waking up with him every morning.

That's good.

It's just I remember Dominic talking

about how challenging it could be

to live with Graham sometimes, and...

But if you feel like it's
right, then I'm happy for you.

Thanks.

- I have some good news too.
- Mm-hmm.

Leo and I are giving it another chance.

Wow.

You don't like him, do you?

No, it's not that.

Just I'm... I'm skeptical.

I wouldn't mind seeing
something to convince me

that this guy is good
enough for my best friend.

Well, here's an idea.

Why don't we do a dinner party

with our boyfriends? Like a double date?

This way I can get to know Graham

as more than Dominic's roommate
who complains all the time,

and you can get to know
Leo as more than the guy

that messes with my head.

But, wait, do we have to cook?

Please.

Yet another reason why I love you to death.

- Uh...
- Oh, wait, not death.

I didn't mean death. No
death. No death, sorry.

Awkward.

I have told her a bunch of times

I want to take a year to travel,

but she keeps dropping
the most obvious hints

about applying to colleges, "just in case."

Like that's her way of being supportive.

What did your parents do when you said

- that you weren't going to college?
- They were fine with it.

They're into "whatever makes you happy."

God, I am so jealous.

Okay, now you're just showing off.

So you seem good.

I mean, it's been a while
since I've seen you, but...

But last time you did, I was crazy.

- I didn't say that.
- Actually, you did.

You, like, literally said I was crazy.

Right, that.

Uh, sorry sorry.

I mean, it's fine. You weren't wrong.

Uh, but I'm back on my meds now.

- And you feel okay?
- Yeah, I feel fine.

I mean, I only stopped taking them

to piss off my parents.

And they didn't even notice.

So I'm sorry to say, Bren,

but in the sucky parents department,

I'm always gonna win.

I can't believe we
almost stopped doing this.

- Let's never stop doing this.
- Okay.

Wait wait, what are you
doing tomorrow night?

- No stopping.
- Seriously.

Beth and I want to have a
dinner party with you and Graham.

It'll be fun.

Yeah, what wouldn't be
more fun than having dinner

with your ex-boyfriend's roommate?

- Graham will behave.
- Yeah, but what about Beth?

I bet she hates me.

What? No.

I know you tell her everything.

Not everything.

She just doesn't really know you... yet.

Okay.

But, look, if they gang up on me,

I cannot be held
responsible for my actions.

Mmm. Ah!

Oh, is it time for a little show?

No, it's time to get ready

for yoga at support group.

Oh, yeah, um, about that...

You love yoga night.

Yeah, but I've...

I've thought a lot about it,

and I... I think I'm
done with support group.

What? Why?

Well, I mean, given the past month,

I think I need a little
less cancer in my life.

It's been all cancer all the time.

I just feel like I need to distance myself

so I can... I can move on, you know?

Focus on right now.

Okay.

Guess I'll just have to find

someone else to help me stretch.

Who are we hiding from?

No one. I just thought I saw

one of my clients who's kind of clingy

and I didn't want it to
be uncomfortable if I was,

you know...

You're a terrible liar,

which is surprising,
since you spend all day

pretending to be interested
in people's boring stories.

They're not always boring.

So why are you sneaking around?

Is it because you
attacked me in your office

and now you're having regrets?

'Cause personally, I thought it was hot.

I'm not saying it wasn't. You know...

- Hot.
- Right.

It's just that, I... I'm not looking
for anything serious right now,

in terms of the sex.

And, I mean, it was nice.

Nice? Not nice. It was enjoyable.

- Oh.
- It was definitely enjoyable

- and nice.
- Yeah.

- Please say something.
- Just so you know,

I'm not looking for serious either.

Last time was easy. Let's
just keep it that way.

It's been a while since I've
had easy. Easy sounds perfect.

Well, want to have it again soon?

Sure. Why not?

Yeah. Tomorrow night?

Tomorrow night.

Mmm.

Were you actually on your way
out? 'Cause you can go now.

Yes, I was.

What brings you here?

Maybe I'm biased, but it can't be the food.

No, it's a work thing. I'm meeting
Jonathan Richman's manager at 7:00

for this review that I'm doing.

- It's only 6:30.
- I know.

It was great running
into you at the bookstore.

You know, I checked out
your book after you left.

- And?
- I still don't get the helmets.

Well, creating fictional
personae in real life.

It's like... it's conceptual.

It's pretentious.

I take it you're into music
that's a little more...

Awesome? Yeah, I'm kind
of a Katy and Ke$ha girl.

But it's not like I only
ever listen to party music.

- I like some classic stuff.
- Yeah? Like what?

Well, my dad used to bring me
records whenever he visited.

- Springsteen, The Stones, The Hollies.
- Mm-hmm.

I used to be obsessed with that
song, "the air that I breathe."

Love that song.

It's so good, right?

Yeah, those records
were, like, the only way

I felt connected to him
when he wasn't around.

I guess that's kind of a bummer, but...

No, gives the music a lot of power.

All my favorite albums, there's
some kind of story there.

You probably think that sounds pretentious.

That's why you do what you love.

April.

- Hey, guys.
- Look who I ran into.

I'm here for work.

Cool. I was just going to get a tea to go.

Oh, I got ya.

Everything okay with your health?

- Brenna said there was a scare?
- Yeah, I'm okay.

Thanks for asking.

Thank you.

All right, well, don't work too hard.

- No chance of that.
- See ya.

So that was weird.

I don't know why I panicked.
I just felt like we were...

We were doing something wrong? I know.

But we're not.

We're allowed to be friends, right?

I mean, April's with someone anyway,

which doesn't matter, since we're
not even talking about dating.

Right. I mean, we only
made out that one time,

before we knew each other.

Hardly counts.

So let's just keep being friends
and not worry about it, okay?

Well, you know what? If we're friends,

I should have your number, right?

Okay.

Back to work.

Nice seeing you, friend.

So I heard

there might be trouble in paradise.

You mean between Leo and me?

I'm afraid your source is inaccurate.

Oh. So where is he?

Um, he decided that he's not going
to come to support group anymore.

He kind of wants to distance himself
from cancer now that he's healthy.

Oh.

Why, what's up?

Well, I'm helping with this
fundraiser for private parts cancer.

You know, testicle,
breast, ovarian, cervical.

- How philanthropic.
- Yeah.

Well, it's this week and
there's still a ton to do.

Well, I can volunteer.

And I bet a lot of my friends
would want to help too.

I know I still owe you after
that Amy Snow situation.

Well, that'd be great. Thanks.

But what we really need is an M.C.

I was going to ask Leo because
he's kind of a big deal.

I heard he was sort of a one-man
make-a-wish foundation before his surgery,

and he was on TV a lot
for his dad's campaign.

- You sound like a fan.
- Well, yeah.

And we have the same taste in women.

So how can I get him to host?

Do you think if you asked him, he'd do it?

Yeah, I'll get him to do it.

Awesome.

Hey, what's wrong?

Are you okay?

I tried to talk to my parents.

I told them I didn't like how much
time they were spending away from home,

and my mom... She didn't
even let me finish.

She just started yelling at me
about how I don't understand respect.

I'm so sorry.

Could I stay here tonight?

Um...

Yeah. Just be really quiet, okay?

I feel like I do everything that she wants,

and it's not enough.

Like, I don't even know
what she wants anymore.

I mean, come on, how are you not enough?

You're the best daughter
she could possibly hope for.

She doesn't think so.

Well, she's wrong.

- Here's one.
- Ah, no.

I'm not living there. I work
late, and that T stop is sketchy.

Mmm.

Why are you, like, thinking
about whether that's legit?

It's legit.

Well, what if I just walked
you home from the T every night?

Then I'd end up defending both of us.

Let's just be honest with ourselves.

And you know, I'm sorry, but safety
makes a lot more sense as a deal-breaker

than not having an elevator.

Uh, a.K.a., tremendous
power suck and oil suck,

two limited resources in our world.

It is so like you to have a list of things

that you don't want in an apartment.

You don't want an elevator, you don't
want a coffee shop within walking distance.

All right, you know what's going to happen
if we live near a coffee shop, right?

We're going to end up
spending five bucks a day

on lattes that we could
just make ourselves.

Okay okay, so no elevator,
no coffee shop nearby.

Is there anything else that
you just can't tolerate?

Yeah, your mattress.

What's wrong with my mattress?

Nothing. Just mine's way better.

What are you talking about?

Guess I have to show you now.

Come on.

Hey, you know, I'm really going to have
to fight you on this whole mattress thing.

Oh, yeah, we're going to battle
it out for at least 20 minutes.

Go go go go!

20 minutes. Start now, go!

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm... I'm Dr. Carver. Are you my 3:00?

Actually, no. I'm here to see Owen.

Oh, sorry. I just assumed because
you seem to be from here...

I am. Vivian Gordon.

I'm Owen's wife.

I wanted to see his new office
so I thought I'd surprise him,

but he must be taking a long lunch.

Would you mind letting
him know I stopped by?

You wanted to see me?

I could barely read this, by the way.

Yeah, well, my handwriting
sucks when I'm angry.

Well, why are you...

I had the pleasure of meeting
your lovely wife earlier.

Please tell me that was for a green card.

Were you ever going to
mention that you're married?

Very sorry.

It's complicated. We just...

You know what? No, it's not.

As someone who's been cheated on before,

it's not complicated. You don't cheat.

Simple rule of respecting another person.

Or in this case, two people... Her and me.

I had no idea that you'd
been through this before.

That's right. You have no idea.

You have no idea what it's like to find out

that you've been taken advantage
of for years by someone you love,

or to meet the other woman
in your own home, or...

You know what?

You don't deserve to know any of this.

Sara, wait.

Just leave.

Mmm, this chicken's amazing.

Thanks. Beth helped.

By holding the take-out
bag while you paid for it?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Um, look, I think I
should clear the air here.

Uh, if you're picking up on an
underlying hostility, I apologize.

It's just Dom's my boy. You stole his girl.

But he's moved on, so I'm going
to try to do the same, okay?

Um, thank you.

Yeah, put it right there. Ow.

So how is the apartment search going?

- Great.
- Not great.

Oh, you guys are moving in together?

Well, congrats.

Thanks.

Have you ever lived with anyone before?

Um, romantically? No.

I haven't really had any long-term
relationships to speak of.

Um, it's kind of hard to
plan a future with someone

when you don't know if
you're going to have a future.

Yeah, that makes sense.

That makes sense.

You think that's all it was, though?

Did you maybe have a
fear of commitment? Ow.

Maybe we both do.

I mean, I've never lived
with a boyfriend either.

I don't think that necessarily
means he has a fear of commitment.

In fact, Leo commits a lot of his life
to inspiring other cancer patients.

See? I'm a good person.

Oh, and Leo, I ran into Julian
last night at support group.

Apparently, you've inspired him too.

He is organizing this cancer fundraiser

and he wants you to host.
I think that just means,

like, showing up, maybe making a speech.

Uh, yeah, I don't know.
I've been such a mess lately.

I don't think I'm the best
person for that kind of thing.

I've seen you speak in public for
your dad before. You're amazing.

Well, yeah, but I always had a
speechwriter for those things.

I don't... we already
talked about this, remember?

Um, I kind of already
told him that you'd do it.

I'm sorry. I'll tell him that I can't.

That's okay, I'll tell him.

I could speak. You know, I like speaking.

Yeah, we're well aware of that.

Yello?

Hey, it's Dominic. You working?

Yeah, but I can talk for a few.

So I rode by the sidewalk
sale this morning.

And I am now the proud owner
of a Hollies album from 1974,

the one that has "the
air that I breathe" on it.

No way.

Well, actually, you're the
proud owner, if you want it.

You got it for me?

It was just a couple of bucks.

Well, thanks.

I can't wait to hear it.

So any big plans tonight?

Uh, I was just going to head home.

You kind of live over by downtown, right?

Uh, yeah, near where you work, I think.

Yeah, I'm actually there now.
Probably gonna be here late.

Want to just swing by and grab the record?

Is anyone there?

Like April?

No, it's just me.

Not that it would matter if there were.

It's not like we have anything to hide.

Um...

So remember what I said?

Let me go talk to her and don't come
out here until I tell you to, okay?

Hey, Mom. Can we talk for a second?

Honey, I just need 15 minutes to
decompress and grab a glass of wine.

- Mom, just...
- Please, Brenna, just...

Please don't flip out, okay?

I'm just trying to be honest with you.

That's what you always say you want, right?

So I'm being honest.

Greer came over here last night.

She had nowhere else to go.

She was here last night?
You stayed overnight?

I got in this huge fight with my parents

and I couldn't stay there. I was desperate.

It was really bad.

My mom has been getting
upset, like, every day.

I think something's
going on with her and me.

I don't really know, but
I just... I can't go home.

- I'm sorry, Greer.
- Mom, please,

can she just stay here until
she figures out what to do?

Do your parents even know you're here?

Not exactly.

Well, I'd feel more
comfortable calling them

so they know where you are.

I mean, I don't need them
accusing me of anything.

Okay.

This song is so happy-sad.

Know what I mean?

Yeah.

It sounds even sadder on vinyl.

Reminds me of when I was, like, 12,

throwing things across my room in a rage.

Violent kid, huh?

Just angry.

Being a love child can do that to a girl,

until you make peace with it.

How'd you do that?

I don't know. I got tired
of being angry all the time.

And I started to see my
dad as this flawed guy

who did the best that he could,

which wasn't great.

But I basically realized
that if I shut him out,

I'd lose him.

And then I wouldn't have a
dad at all, so I went with it.

And I'm glad I did.

That's pretty mature of you.

Really?

Wow.

No one's ever called me mature before.

Seriously, I wish I could
deal with my stuff like that.

Do tell.

Later.

Why not now?

What?

I told you,

just friends.

I'm getting along really well with
April lately. I don't want to mess it up.

Are you really going to let girl
code keep you from something?

Yes.

I don't have a lot of girlfriends

or half sisters.

♪ Is the air that I breathe ♪

Okay.

If that's what you want.

♪ All I need is the
air that I breathe ♪

Thanks for coming tonight
and for bringing me home.

Oh, yeah, you can't be too careful

on the mean streets of Beacon Hill.

Hmm.

You're welcome. It wasn't as bad
as I thought it was going to be.

Yeah.

Is everything...

Um, sorry.

Julian.

It's kind of late. I thought we
were going to do this tomorrow.

Did you come here by yourself?

Uh, no, my mom drove me.

Don't bother. She parked on the next block.

I have a reputation to uphold, you know.

Okay.

- Now are they finished?
- Uh, please.

I have a reputation to
uphold too, you know.

Come on in. I'll be right back.

Sorry.

Signs. She's getting the
signs that she printed up

at the newspaper for the fundraiser.

It's gonna be great. I mean, we
both invited, like, tons of people.

Thanks for helping out, by the way.

Oh, right.

Um, I'm... I'm sorry, buddy. I
know April said that I could do it,

but I actually... I can't.

Oh, uh, why not?

Why are you going through all this trouble?

- What's... what's her name?
- Who?

Come on, you're a 14-year-old
boy organizing a fundraiser.

There's got to be some girl involved.

I'm donating all the money
we make to this organization

to help my family pay off some
of the medical bills last year.

Oh.

You know, April told me that cancer
isn't really your thing anymore.

I thought that was kind of sad

because people used to really
look up to you because of it.

I mean, having people look up to
you for anything is kind of awesome.

You shouldn't turn your back on that,

especially when your amazing
girlfriend asks you to do it.

'Cause there are girls
and then there's April.

She's in, like, a whole different category.

So even though I'm not doing
this for a girl, maybe you should.

I'm gonna take the sofa,

but I was wondering if
we could talk for a sec.

Yeah, sure. What's up?

Um, nothing much,

except you kind of kissed me last night.

Oh, yeah.

That.

Um, I don't know.

I wasn't planning it.

I mean, I definitely wasn't expecting it.

But I didn't hate it either.

But I wanted to ask you something,

and it may seem kind of random.

It's about what you told Kieran
and me that night at the gallery.

Okay.

I was just wondering,

do you think that's the reason
you wanted to date a girl?

I'm just curious because it makes sense.

You know, like, after you went
through all that with that guy,

that you'd feel safer with a girl.

I mean,

it might be the reason I
never had sex with Kieran.

It's hard to get that kind
of thing out of your head.

I still think about it.

Every once in a while, I think about
how old the baby would be by now

or if he or she would be walking yet.

But that's not why I started liking you.

I mean, that was just

about you.

I was in a dark place before I met you,

between my dad dying and April.

And then I started to get to know you.

And I don't know.

It was like the sun

was finally coming out
after a month of rain.

Or whatever, I'm sorry.
That sounded super dumb.

No. It doesn't.

It's perfect, right?
In a safe neighborhood,

- since that's so important to you.
- You're annoying.

No elevator, but we're on the second floor.

There's an unpretentious coffee shop

half a block away for
your blatant consumerism.

And they're waiving the deposit.

- I mean, it's pretty great.
- Right?

You know about the two-year lease, right?

- Yup.
- Wait, what?

That's why there's no deposit.
The lease is a little longer.

Two years isn't a little.

I... I'd assumed, like, six months.

Why would you assume six months?

I mean, most leases are, like, a year.

Because the last two that I
signed were for six months,

you know, with options to
go month-to-month afterwards.

So you're literally saying that
you want a short-term commitment.

Two years just seems
like a really long time.

You know, who even knows
where we'll be in a year?

I mean, I assume we'll want to be here,

living together, right?

I'm sorry, I'm trying. I really am.

I just haven't lived
anywhere for this long,

since I left home.

You do realize that it's
going to be impossible

to find exactly what we
want with a six-month lease.

You don't know that.
All we have to do is ask.

Wow. I guess it's true what they say

about people of your generation,

just always wanting
everything on their terms.

My generation? Graham, you're 29.

Well, sometimes you act
like a very young 23.

Did I mention we allow large pets?

Sara.

We need to finish our conversation.

Okay.

I want to know why you
cheated on your wife.

You're just jumping right in there, huh?

I'm sorry, did you want
to have small talk? I mean,

I kind of think we're past that.

Okay.

- Um, it's complicated.
- Again with the "complicated."

Yeah, all right, well, let's see.

Your needs were not being met,

your masculinity was threatened
and you needed validation,

so you strayed sexually.
That would explain the beard.

You're wrong.

Okay. You know, maybe what I'm wondering

is are you still attracted to your wife?

Yes. Absolutely.

But are you still in love with her?

Very much.

More than she probably knows.

Look, before Vivian and I even got married,

we talked about cheating,
how we felt about it,

and if it was just physical,
that we'd rather not know.

'Cause you know, life is long.

And so if we went through a phase
where we were feeling a little...

She probably told you that because she
thought that's what you wanted to hear.

No, Sara.

You don't know her.

So what happened?

Well, Vivian and I have
been trying to get pregnant

for years.

And we're on our fourth round of I.V.F.

We never have sex anymore.

And when we do, it's so clinical.

And the stress has just made us

need some space from each other.

But I do think that we're going
to find a way to make it work

and get back to a good place, though.

And so when we do,

you know, I think what Vivian
doesn't know won't hurt her.

And for all I know, she's
doing the same thing.

And you really wouldn't want to know?

Well, at the end of the day,
what good is that going to do me?

I mean, if you had found out

that your husband was cheating
on you right after it happened,

do you think your life would be better?

Thank you guys so much for helping
out with the fundraiser today.

Is Leo meeting us there?

Um, I don't think so. I don't know.

It's kind of a bummer, actually.

I'll get it.

Greer?

Brenna.

We got a call from your mother, Brenna.

She said you were here.

You could have called
first. We were just...

This has nothing to do with Brenna.

Believe it or not, I can
actually think for myself.

We're not impressed with your judgment.

Of course you're not. Nothing
I do ever impresses you, Mom.

You're impossible to please.

And you know, it's really hard growing up

thinking nothing I do is good enough.

Welcome to the club.

Get your things. You're coming home.

No. You can't just leave
town and then show up

and pretend you know
anything about my life.

Like, I went off my meds
and you didn't even notice.

You let nannies and psychiatrists raise me

because you don't know what
to do. You suck as parents.

Oh, and by the way, Mom, there is no way

I'm going to boarding school.

What's she talking about?

- We'll talk about it later.
- Go ahead,

threaten to withhold money from me.

I'll figure something out.
I'll be staying with Brenna

until you learn how to
treat me with some respect.

Okay.

If you want to play little
orphan Annie, we won't stop you.

You're kind of my hero right now.

Hey.

Hey.

- Um, do you want to come in?
- Am I allowed?

I kind of thought after this morning,

you might make me talk
to you out in the hallway.

The hallway? Come on.

No, there's a perfectly
good closet right over there.

Uh, hey, so I... I'm
really sorry about earlier.

Me too. It's...

This... this is just hard.

You know?

Well, I'm about to make
it really simple for us.

So against all odds,

and I mean all,

I found us another place, meets our needs,

including your need for a six-month lease.

All you got to do is sign.

Wow.

Or... or not.

Can I... Can I just have a second?

- Yeah yeah. What's wrong?
- I just...

This just, uh...

Wow, it feels really fast, doesn't it?

What are you talking about?

I mean, us moving in.

You... you're bringing this up now?

I'm giving you everything that you want.

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

I think I just... I... I need to

think about it more.

Okay.

Is it petty to be disappointed

that Leo is clearly not even showing up?

I mean, it's just this one
thing I asked him to do.

Are you right and this
is just another red flag

that he's going to hurt me again?

Are you okay?

I am literally the worst
person in the entire world.

He was totally bending over backwards

to give me everything that I
wanted and being so flexible.

- Graham?
- What's wrong with me?

I used to love having the freedom

to just leave at a moment's notice.

You know, live in different places.

And now I have this job that depends on me

and a boyfriend that wants to
live with me for, like, ever.

Oh, I don't think I'm
ready to be this grown-up.

I'm... I'm just... I'm not used to
this kind of permanence, you know?

Beth, there are so many steps before
this is a permanent commitment.

You can always break a lease.

This is just one small step down the road

of being together for real.

Yeah, you're right. God, you're so right.

I've... I really don't
want to lose him over this.

Maybe we both need to
compromise a little more.

You know, maybe I need to manage
my expectations better with Leo.

I mean, he's dealing with
a lot of stuff right now.

So maybe I should just
let him be who he is.

Testing, one two.

Hello hello. This thing on?

Hello?

Oh, a little feedback.

Testing. There we go.

Hey, guys.

I know what you're all going through.

Thinking maybe if I'm
lucky, I got a year left,

or two if I get into that
clinical trial, right?

I never expected to turn 22, let alone 25.

Now I'm not here because
I think I can cure cancer,

although that would be awesome.

But maybe I can be an example

of someone who beat the
odds. Because it happens.

Now we all have private parts,

but there's one part I consider private

that not everyone does.

The heart.

It's a vulnerable organ.

It breaks easily.

And some people are fortunate
enough to know what it feels like

when it's... When it's full.

And then there's everybody else.

I happen to be one of those people.

I've never been in love before.

Or I hadn't

until now.

He's never said that before.

Well, it's about time.
I approve, by the way.

I almost didn't come here today.

But since I've somehow
managed to stay alive,

I want to live the right way.

I want to be the guy that steps up,

I want to be the guy that people
shouldn't ever underestimate.

Love will do that to you, I guess.

You'll find yourself doing things

you never could imagine in a million years.

I got goose bumps.

It was so romantic!

And in front of all these people.

He's so great.

You know, if you weren't just hooking up

with your immigration lawyer next door,

maybe he would profess his love for you

on the courthouse steps.

Unlikely. Things have become complicated.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Yeah, more than fine.

I actually think some... Some
good may have come from it.

Do I want to hear this?

It got me thinking about your father

and how I've been
repressing a lot of anger.

Really toxic stuff.

And I actually realize that

if things hadn't happened how they did,

even the really painful parts,

I would have missed out on
some of the great things.

I wouldn't be where I am right now,

which is pretty happy.

So they haven't tried
to call you or anything?

I think I scared them.

Oh, good.

What do we do now?

Go go go go go go!

Ah!

Oh! He got him!

Hey.

I love you too.

Ah oh! My God!

What is happening?

Anyway, I'm just... I'm
so sorry about earlier.

I'm an idiot.

I was scared. This is all really new to me

and it feels like a big
step, but you know what?

It doesn't have to be.
So I'm just going to try

to keep my freak-outs under control

while we live together in
whichever apartment you want.

See? Now look who's being flexible.

I don't think I've ever
seen you speechless.

I think we have to break up.

Is... is this because I freaked out?

'Cause I told you, that
was just a momentary thing.

No, it's not that.

I mean, it is and it isn't.

I'm not mad at you.

It just... it doesn't seem

like we're in the same
place in our lives right now.

What... what does that even mean?

It means that I've been
in relationships before

where, uh, I wanted something
and the girl wasn't sure

and I thought that I could convince her,

but it turns out that you
can't... You can't change people.

And it's better if I just accept that

and, uh, not set myself up
to get hurt down the line.

Dom, you home?

Uh, yeah.

I'm single again.

I hate it.

Want to watch "The Matrix"?

Maybe another time. Okay?

All right, suit yourself.
