Greek (2007–2011): Season 2, Episode 16 - Dearly Beloved - full transcript

When Casey's alumni sister Kiki, announces that she is getting married, all the Zeta Beta Zeta girls are invited. Amidst all the wedding frenzy, Max decides it's time to take his relationship with Casey to the next level and decides to propose marriage. Meanwhile, with Andy out of town, Jordan ends up dragging Rusty around town to help her pick up the flowers for Kiki's wedding. When the two discover that the order was never placed, they have to come up with a plan of action which leads to an unexpected common bond. Elsewhere, Rebecca soon finds herself in new territory as she kisses Ashleigh's openly gay big sister, Robin, in one of the bachelorette party drinking game which sparks Rebecca's curiosity in the same sex.

Previously.

I'll always be here to protect you.

Proud to be
your Zeta Beta Zeta big sis.

You know, it's been four months
since we broke up.

So, you can officiallyly categorize me
as a a friend.

I met a girl. She's beautiful,
and smart, and funny.

That's great.

- Did your girl ever show up?
- I just met this awesome chick.

You're dating
Rusty's little brother.

Oh, my God, you totally like him.

What happened, Evan?
Why'd you cheat on me?



It can really make you crazy
when you doubt

whether the people close
to you really care about you.

- I'm sorry it didn't work out.
- Me, too.

I got accepted to grad school.
Caltech, in California.

I turned down the grant
so I can stay at CRU with Casey.

She doesn't know. You can't tell her.
I don't want her to feel some

kind of obligation.

- I love you, Casey.
- I love you, too.

Aren't weddings great?

The promise of renewal,
unlimited possibilities...

- lots of wedding cake.
- I look like a walking glow stick.

Actually, you look like...

Not really, exactly.

It's more like...



Remember when you told me
my hair looked better down?

Or when I doubted that gamma rays

could've really turned
Bruce Banner into the Hulk?

Because there's no
scientific evidence

- to indicate...
- My point is, we've always been honest.

The dress is horrible

and it's too long, right?

Unless I strap on stilts, I'm going
to stumble my way down the aisle.

I...

love you?

Nice save.

I wish I could be as enthusiastic as you
about Kiki's wedding.

Don't get me wrong,

I'm really happy my grand-big-sis
is coming back to ZBZ

and getting married.
But the fact that Kiki's little sis...

Is Frannie?

Then I remembered
you were invited, too.

Andy's not here.
The football team's in Wisconsin.

I know. I'm here to see you.

The house is really quiet.

Nap time.
From 6:00 to 8:00,

the KT house
is the quietest place on campus.

Are you up for a wedding?

With you?

I'm still a little fuzzy
on the details, but apparently

Casey's grand sis...

- Your great-grand sis.
- OK, sure.

She's coming back to get married,

which means I need
an escort to the wedding.

No, can't. I'm sorry.

- I'm gonna be defibrillating a...
- Transpolymer orgasmitroid?

I looked that up.

Not only does it sound dirty,
but it doesn't exist.

Come on Rusty, I told Andy
I hate going to these things by myself.

Plus, it would be way more fun
with a friend.

I know. Right, we're friends.
And Andy's my little brother, but...

Thank you.

I was looking at that last night.

"Sacred and Profane Love,"
by Titian.

"Forbidden desires
and earthly wants."

So, eternal happiness in heaven

versus fleeting happiness on earth.

- I guess you have to choose.
- That's a toughie.

I'm going to have to think about it.

I was so sleepy.

VO: -Ori-, Arrow,
Jujuleder, Walid20-101

I don't even know Kiki,
why do I have to go to her wedding?

Kiki loves ZBZ.

She practically bleeds pink.
And we're her direct descendents,

which is why she wants both of you to be
at her bachelorette party and wedding.

I'm getting married!
Are you so excited?

- My God! I'm so excited!
- Me too.

It's so beautiful.

Four carats, D color, flawless.
It's no big thing.

I read in my psychology class that men
who spend large amounts of money

on women
are over-compensating for small...

And this is Rebecca.
She's your great-grand little sis.

Great-grand big sis Kiki.
We've heard so much about you.

And you must be Jordan,
my new great-grand little.

Which actually makes me feel really old.
I know. You can both call me Bubby.

Cause calling you Kiki
would be so weird.

I'll... go help Ashleigh
with your luggage.

It's so great to be back
in the old house again.

And really sweet that my little sis
could come pick me up.

- Where are you going, Frannie?
- Maybe Frannie forgot to mention

this tiny morsel of ZBZ history that

she tried to torpedo the house

by starting a rival sorority
across the street.

Maybe I wouldn't have done
it if ZBZ wasn't falling apart.

Is that true?

And who was responsible for that,
Fran-Fran?

- Sure, blame me because...
- Will you two bitches just shut up?

Don't you forget this is my wedding, not
some stupid-ass date-dash at Dobler's.

And if either of you
screw up my big day,

I will personally rip off your heads

and tinkle down your necks. Got it?

Got it.

Because weddings
are supposed to be special

and filled with love.

And this is doubly-special
because I can come back here

and share it with my entire
ZBZ family,

and all my littles.

Which brings me to you.

On my way in, the flower shop called and
they're not able to deliver the flowers.

I need you to pick them up.

- We're almost done Kiki.
- Thanks Ash, you're the best.

- Bring help. It's a lot of flowers.
- Maybe you could take Rebecca?

Still helping with the luggage.

It's all right.
I'll just call Rusty.

He's going to the wedding with me.
I'm sure helping won't be a big deal.

Hold on. Rusty's your date?

Let's see what you've done
with the house.

It's so much stuff.
Here, let's start in the kitchen.

Before we continue the Kappa Tau

"I am drunk, and how do I get back
to Kappa Tau before I pass out" tour,

does anyone have any questions?

Moving on.
To your right, Marty's Deli.

Daytime, avoid the pastrami.

Nighttime,
ignore the blinking red and green sign.

Many a beery-eyed KT
has been stuck for hours,

unsure whether to stop or go.

- That'd be me.
- To your left, a public restroom

for emergency pit stops in case
you can't make it back to the house.

- That's an alley.
- That's why there are no stalls.

If you look ahead,
you'll see the Espresso Farm and...

Robin Wylie.

CRU grad, ZBZ alum.
God, I had such a crush on her.

She purty.

Strike everything
after the Espresso Farm.

Beaver, finish the expedition.

The last time,
I got lost on the way home.

Seriously?

You've gotta stop drinking
in the middle of the day.

I'm not drinking, I just have
no sense of direction.

We need to work on that, don't we?

As I live and breathe heavily.

You look great.
Not a day over...

Twenty-four. And you are?

You don't remember me?

I was that dashing freshmen
at Kappa Tau.

You were a dreamy senior.
Remember?

Crazy Cappie?

Fun, sexy Cappie?

No, to all three.

Wait. Now, I do.

You were that scrawny kid
with the funny hair

who dated one of our pledges
until she dumped you.

The one who stood outside
our house in a trench coat,

holding a boom box over your head,
playing Peter Gabriel.

- Or... maybe that was someone else.
- No, that'd be me.

Personally, I appreciated
the movie reference.

Really?

So what brings you back to Cyprus?

Besides a chance to fulfill old
fantasies. Specifically, mine.

My pledge sister's getting married
on campus this weekend,

and I'm just back for the wedding.

If you're looking for a date,

I know someone
who's completely available.

I prefer flying solo at weddings.

You never know
who you're gonna go home with.

I've gotta get to that wedding.

- You're crazy.
- No, It makes total sense.

If I go to the wedding with Jordan
and keep my feelings in check,

then I can finally stop worrying
about doing something stupid.

- Like tell her how you feel?
- Exactly.

"That which does not kill us
makes us stronger."

Nietzsche.

Nietzsche never had to go to a wedding
with his little brother's girlfriend.

Are you saying I can't do this?

Nietzsche knew better than to tempt
himself with moonlight, a beautiful girl

and wedding cake.

You're right. I'm crazy.

What do I know? I'm not exactly
an expert on these kinda things.

In fact, I was kinda hoping
you could help me out.

I've been thinking,
if I'm gonna ask Casey...

if we're gonna take our relationship
to the next level,

- It's time I tell her about Caltech.
- What do you mean "next level?"

That's where I need you. I have some
questions about the Greek system.

Bonne grippe.

This is embarrassing, but to get home,
do we go left or right on Briarwood?

- Right.
- OK, thanks.

Pledges.

I want the leads to set anchor bolts
and belays for a pendulum swing.

Do it quickly.

'Cause if we're not home by nightfall,
we will sleep on this mountain!

I feel sorry for her husband.

Actually, I feel sorry
for anyone dumb enough to get married.

"Bonds of holy matrimony," my ass.

My parents are still happy.

Maybe they want you to think that.

So, last night's date
didn't go well?

When he saw "coming attractions,"
he thought it was his cue to feel me up.

- You know what your problem is?
- I'm too hot.

You are a guy fang.

And since Fisher is writing
a paper this weekend,

I happen to have a ton
of free time on my hands.

I am going to find you
a slump-buster.

A boy friend to jump-start
your hormonal happiness.

- Oh, my God, I missed you so much.
- You're so grown up.

This is Robin Wylie, my big sis.

And reluctant wedding guest.

Robin, this is Rebecca Logan,
Casey's little sis.

And even more reluctant
wedding guest.

- Where are my suitcase?
- I'll be right there!

Don't worry. A boyfriend
is on the way.

Things haven't changed
at all at ZBZ.

Kiki spent years trying
to find me Mr. Right.

What happened?

Nothing stuck.

First it was the crappy bridesmaid dress
and now Frannie's trying

to take over the bachelorette party.

- She is Kiki's little sister.
- Really?

I've been thinking about that,
and since she de-pledged ZBZ,

she's technically more like
Kiki's illegitimate step-sibling.

Funny.

Really.

You know when you said it's important
we're honest with each other?

That we don't have secrets?

I knew it. You're finally going to admit
that my dress is ugly, aren't you?

- Of course not.
- So, you like my dress?

Actually, I hate it.
No, what I'm trying to say...

I can't believe you hate it.

I lied to you about graduate school.

I was accepted to Caltech,
got a full-ride scholarship.

But, I turned it down.

Why... would you do that?

Because I wanted to be with you.

And you were so set against having
a long-distance relationship.

I know this is a lot to dump on you,

and I know it's unfair.

I had to tell you in order for us
to move forward with our relationship.

You seem to be handling
Max's news pretty well.

If it were me,
I'd be a little freaked out right now.

It's fine. I mean,

Max not going to Caltech
was unbelievably romantic, right?

Figures Frannie
dump the party favors on us,

so she could go
and decocorate Dobler's by herself.

I know what Max did was romantic,
but it was also...

a little crazy, right?

I mean, giving up everything for
someone you've only known for a month?

But you guys are perfect together.

We are perfect together.

It's amazing how many things made
for a bachelorette party resemble...

That one's huge.

Are you sure
you're OK with what Max did?

Of course.

I'm fine with it.

I'm not.
I'm confused.

I mean, I love him,
but what Max did...

is kinda overwhelming.

- It was romantic, wonderful...
- And a little freaky?

That too.

Thanks again for helping me.

- It's been fun hanging out.
- Yeah, sure it's Fun.

We're here to pick up the flowers
for the philbrick wedding.

I was hoping you wouldn't show.

- Why not?
- 'Cause there's nothing to pick up.

I kinda messed up the delivery date.

You wrote it down for next year?

Well...
I got the month right.

If you come back, same time,
in a year from now...

We need whatever you have today.

Well, I have a nice funeral wreath.

Turned out the dude
wasn't terminal after all.

Wait,
I think I also got a bon voyage basket.

I'll go check.

I guess you better call kiki
and tell her problem.

Are you kidding? She scares
the crap out of me.

No, I have to handle this on my own.

That's not your fault.

Yeah, I know, but I still feel like
an outsider in the house.

I just want to prove to casey
that I belong.

Dumb, right?

No, not dumb at all.

You know, I think there's
a flower shop on elm street.

So, no one under five feet.
Vegetarians, maybe. Vegans, no.

Hair?

Right.

Head yes, back no. Perfect.

- That enough for your profile.
- An internet ad?

How desperate do you think I am?

You don't want me to answer that.
But don't worry, your picture is hot

and I'll weed out the pervs.

If this doesn't work,
I'll find you a boyfriend.

Lots of eligible bachelors,
an open bar... I can't miss.

Don't worry.

I have been looking for you.

They have these things now
called phones. They work pretty well.

- We're friends, right?
- Yes...

just friends, only friends,
friends who can tell anything, right?

What do you want?

Get me on the guest list
to the wedding.

It's a wedding,
not a date-dash at Dobler's.

Guess I'll have to go as a waiter,
or a chef or something.

Why are you fixated
on going to this wedding?

Robin Wylie.

She's way out of your league.

Then, clich? as it is,
I'm gonna have to crash that wedding.

I have a better idea.

What if you come as my date?

Your date?

Do you think that's a good idea,
considering everything?

Look, I've been doing
a lot of soul searching lately,

and the one thing I do know
is that you're a way better friend

than boyfriend.

Not that the sex wasn't spectacular.

For a moment there,
you scared my big buddy.

- Actually, I like to call
- Edward the third, I know.

My point is, you'll
be doing me a favor.

If ashleigh gets too carried away
trying to find me a guyat the wedding,

I can use you as my cover.
And if she actually finds me one,

I'll dump you.

Sounds good to me.

Toast on.

You eat that, I'll rip off your head
and tinkle down your neck.

Something I learned from my bubby.

If this doesn't work,
we're gonna be stealing daffodils

from people's front yards.

- It's not looking good.
- No.

Excuse me.

We have a big emergency.

We need flowers for a wedding...

I'm sorry. The only flowers left are
for the rosenberg bar mitzvah.

Not that they care about flowers.

It's juste for something together.
"Sure, why not."

Honey, we don't have to get married.

We can wait.

No, we will wait.

For, "Without the sweet perfume

of nature's greatest gift."

"We wouldn't have each other?"

Because, "Flowers are just
rainbows you can take with you."

That's... what I've always thought.

- "A Nose, by any other name..."
- "Would smell as sweet."

"A daisy's petal
is a true love's kiss..."

You make such a perfect couple.

"Perfect, and eternal."

Stop it.

Stop it.

Our car's out back.

- Are you OK?
- We got the flowers,

it's time to go home.

We'll make it just in time.

We did good, didn't we?

We're like the bonnie
and clyde of botany.

The cops are running scared

'cause no daffodil is safe

- when Bonnie and...
- Rusty?

- Call me clyde.
- OK. Clyde,

you're looking red and blotchy.

So are you Bonnie

And my throat's constricting.

Mine, too.

You have danced on a table.
Check.

You have flirted with a bartender...

Check.
You flashed a complete stranger.

Double-check.

- That's some potent lemonade.
- I pre-gamed back at the house.

- The scavenger hunt?
- Sorry. Only two items to go.

Next up, you have to confess
the craziest thing your hubby-to-be

has ever done.

To me or for me?

Let's start with "for you."

C'mon, bubby. Spill it.

He has my name tattooed
on his right butt cheek.

Frannie, your turn.
What's evan done for you?

There're so many things.

I wouldn't know where to start.

Suit yourself. Casey?

Max turned down caltech

just to go to graduate school at cru,
so he could be with me.

That is the most romantic thing
I've heard in my entire life.

- It is?
- That's so awesome!

- Really?
- Yeah, I guess that's awesome.

It's great. He really loves you.

Really great.

That's beautiful.

Really heartwarming.
OK, last one.

The lucky bride-to-be has to...

Kiss a girl.

It has to be a real kiss.

Tongue optional.

What a wimp.

- Like you'd do it?
- Maybe I would.

Or, maybe you'd chicken out too...

All right bakmachin show's over.

To the bachelorette party!

Cheers.

OK, let's see.

Wait, here we go.

How about this?

No. Yeah, you're right. Of course.

She's older,
she's wiser to the ways of the world.

I need something that says
sophisticacated, yetet amoral. L.

Maybe I shohould lose some of
my jewelry. What do you think?

Hello?

Sure.

- Is something wrong?
- No.

Everything's great.

- I've just been thinking...
- When you're done think I need help.

What're your thoughts
on seersucucker?

I want you to kiss me.

- I thought we were gonna be friends.
- I don't mean it like that.

I just want you to kiss me.

It starts with a kiss,
and the next thing you know...

Well?

Interesting.

Thanks.

And I'd go with the navy blue.

- Not the navy whites?
- No!

I thought about what I said...

nine out of ten sorority girls
agree what you did

was the most
romantic thing anyone has ever done.

- What do you think?
- I'm voting with the majority.

- OK, then I have one more surprise...
- I'm too drunk, too tired.

Tonight, I just want you.

Who knew we were both
severely allergic to hydrangeas.

I guess the enclosed space
pushed the pollen count

to astronomically-high levels.

Weird.

If Andy ever wants to get me a gift,
tell him to with teddy bears.

What if he asks about chocolate?

Chocolate is also on my list
of taboo ingestibles.

Really? Same with me.

Funny. It's like they...

Cut us out of the same
immune-deficient cloth.

I'm not afraid of much,
but needles and iguanas freak me out.

OK. Clench your fist for me.

It's their claws.

Thanks.

Anytime.

It's just gonna hurt a little.

There you go.

Have you seen my shoes?
I swear, I left them in the bag.

- Can we talk?
- Not right now, no.

- But, I have something for you.
- Unless they're bright green, size 8,

with a three inch wedge,
I'm not interested.

I think you'll like this more.

Doubtful, since kiki is
pretty particular about footwear.

You know when I said
weddings were about renewal,

about limitless possibilities?

- That got me thinking about us...
- Please get up...

Wait. Let me finish this.

I know we've only known each other
for a short time,

but I also know how
I feel about you.

And I think
I know how you feel about me, too.

- Not now, max.
- What? What's wrong?

- That.
- But you haven't seen it yet.

- That's a lavaliere.
- What did you think it was?

Kiki's threatening to break our knee
caps unless we get into the van now.

- Kiki's more unstable than usual, so...
- We better go.

Look!

All right. Max, I love you,
and I'll see you at the wedding.

We'll talk then.

Bubby should be happy.

We got the flowers
and it only took 19 hours.

And no one got hurt.

Matt did.

- Matt?
- Rosenberg?

He's not gonna have flowers
for his big day.

The way I see it, we saved his ass.
Pink hydrangeas for a bar mitzvah?

He'd have died of embarrassment.

At least we know where to pick
up a funeral wreath, cheap.

You should probably get back
to your apartment.

You should go in.

And I'll see you in two hours,
wearing a dress.

Trust me, that doesn't happen
very often.

Do I have permission to tease you?

As long as I can hit
you as hard as I can.

Nope. Teasing's out.

Good choice.

Thanks for everything.

Please, what're friends for?

- I'm sorry. I don't know why I...
- No, that's OK.

That's the way the french
say good-bye... to friends.

- Really?
- Sure. Come on.

You kiss me. I kiss you back.

- OK.
- It's no big deal.

I'll see you later.

Right, later.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered here this day
to celebrate the joining together

of kiki philbrick and charlie german
in the bond of holy matrimony.

Kiki, do you take charlie to be your
lawfully-wedded husband,

in good times and in bad,

to love and to cherish,
in sickness and in health,

to continually bestow upon one another
your heart's deepest devotion,

to be a friend, a lover, in
times of plenty and in times of want,

that regardless of the obstacles
you may face on your path through life,

to always be faithful
to one another,

and vow to do so
from this day forward,

as long as you both shall live?

I do.

You may now kiss the bride.

Can I get two glasses, please?

So. I struck out online, but there're
plenty of guys here, so don't worry.

Trust me, I wasn't worrying.

OK, good,
because I think I found you a keeper.

You're gonna love this one,
He's cute, he's single,

and I'm pretty sure
he can make you see God.

Yeah, I don't think he's my type.

No, he's Protestant.

Ash, maybe today is not my day
to find a boyfriend.

You're not dating him again, right?

Well, no.

I just agreed to bring him as my date
so he could make a play for Robin.

Well he's in for a surprise.
Because Robin's gay.

- Really?
- Really.

Which means you're still looking
for a boyfriend. Be right back.

What are you doing here?

Just taking a break
from the fun, fun, fun. You?

Hiding.

Me too.

Max told me he gave up Caltech.

You knew, didn't you?

I promised I wasn't gonna tell you.

Now, you're mad at me, aren't you?

Right now, I'm...

... scared and happy and mad
and thrilled and everything in between,

and it's all wrapped up in this
overwhelming desire to puke my guts out.

Add itchy to that
and I'm right with you.

It's my allergies.

- And Jordan.
- And Andy?

Yeah, and Andy.

Life shouldn't be this complicated.

You know, you and Jordan can't.

I know. I gotta deal with it.

It's just not that easy.

This afternoon,
I thought Max was going to propose.

I thought
he was going to lavaliere you.

- He tried.
- You didn't accept?

I always thought the hard part would be
finding the right guy.

But, it turns out
it's not finding the guy that's hard,

it's staying on the same page
with him.

And right now,
I feel like we're in different chapters.

It's better than me and Jordan.

Because right now,
we're in different books.

And someone else is reading
her book.

Or, her book is
in someone else's library.

Yeah, maybe...

We should just wait here
until everyone leaves.

Or at least,
until the end of the song.

- Nice wedding, right?
- Yeah.

So, Ash tells me you're gay.

Which makes you wonder
about that kiss.

No. Yeah.

Actually,
I don't really know what to think.

It was just a kiss.

And the feelings you're having are what
a lot of people go through in college.

It's just a part of growing up.

You'll figure it out eventually.

So, I shouldn't obsess over it?

Not unless you liked it.

Because, I did.

Robin Wylie.

We are at the same wedding.
Imagine that.

- The coincidences are mind-boggling.
- Well, conveniently, so am I.

Dance?

Don't mind if we do.

You know, the secret to cake
and concrete is in the powder?

Yeah. It all has to do
with adhesion forces and collisions...

Why didn't you tell me
about Caltech?

Before you made
the decision not to go?

It's because I thought,
it would freak you out.

Well, it did.

What you did was kind of huge.

I don't know what is the next step.

Next?

Just lavaliere you.

I thought you were going to propose.

Wouldn't that be going a bit too...

fast?

And changing your whole life, based on a
month-long relationship is not too fast?

I love you.

I love you too.

But, I kinda can't breathe.

Sorry, I didn't mean that...

You know, the...

egg yolk lipoproteins are
an essential part of

maintaining the cake stability.

It must be going around. I'm...

having a tough time breathing
myself.

True to the day he dies

More than a dream-come-true

With eyes of ocean-blue

While sisters will be

True love is theirs to seek

He won the heart of our hearts

Z-B-Z

OK, ladies, everybody get close.

Move your asses. I got a plane to catch.
Bridesmaids to the front.

Who wants a piece of me?

You?

I forgot what a bitch KiKi could be.

You know, she purpose to put us in these
dresses to make herself look better.

Speak for yourself.
I look hot in lime green.

So...

What was up...

... back at the house?
With Max.

Nothing.

So, where's Evan?

We broke up.

Yeah, well, we didn't exactly...

bring out the best in each other.

So...

Far be it from me
to give relationship advice,

But, if you think
you're with the right guy,

and there's a chance it might work,

don't give up.

I wonder when Kiki knew
that he was the right one.

Probably when he knocked her up.

Wh...

What?

Dinner was good.

Yeah.

You know,

if you think about it,
nothing happened this morning.

Sure, something...

almost did, but it didn't.

And you cannot feel guilty

over almost.

We were pretty tired.

Personally, I'm chalking it up
to intravenous drugs.

So, we're good.

We're good.

Friends.

So...

- Do good friends dance together?
- Sure.

- You don't mind if I lead?
- You're OK if I make fun of your dress?

OK, you lead.

Hey, Robin.

Before you take off
I was wondering if you might like to...

What?

... continue this night of romance
and love at Cappie Tau.

Sounds like fun, but...

it's never going to happen.

Well, never as in never,
or never as in not now,

or never as in Never Neverland?

Fitting you'd end with Peter Pan.

Let's just say... never.

Well, that sucked.

- Wendy, darling.
- Cappie!

Both of us at the same wedding?
Imagine the coincidence.

Hey.

I didn't want you to leave
without saying good-bye.

That's nice.

Hey, I'm staying in town
for a couple weeks with my parents.

So...

So maybe I could give you a call?

I'd like that.

- See ya.
- Bye.

This is John. He's new at Cyprus,
and I thought that...

Sorry.

We should look at this
as a celebration for us, too.

I mean, we didn't die.

And Kiki got her flowers.

A happy ending.

And I finally have my answer.

For what?

Whether or not it's worth risking
eternal happiness in heaven

for fleeting happiness on earth.

I will never let you go

I will never let you go

I can't. We shouldn't be doing this.
I'm dating Andy.

- No. I know you're dating Andy.
- No. I have to go.

I brought you cake.

Actually...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about you
having to keep your secret.

I'm sorry about you
giving up Caltech.

Why should you be sorry about that?

Because I don't know
if I would do the same for you.

In fact, I didn't.
I went to Washington.

I didn't expect you to give that up.

But Max, that's not fair.

It's not fair
we started in different places?

What would be unfair is
if I expected you to be where I am now.

I lost a girl once in my life.

And I vowed that if I ever felt
that way about someone again,

that I wouldn't take that lightly.

I wouldn't lose them.

I didn't want to lose you.

But we're supposed to be a couple,

which means we're supposed
to be on the same page,

meet in the middle,
travel together down a shared path.

And you're so far ahead of me,
I don't even see you anymore.

So...

What now, then?

Slow down for a while.

And let me catch up?

I can do that.

I know you can.

What?
