Party of Five (1994–2000): Season 4, Episode 18 - True or False - full transcript

[knock on door]

-Hi.
-Hey.

Look, uh...

We've gotta talk...

About this...
This stuff that's going on
with you at school.

But, Charlie, I'm back.

I mean, I'm back,
and I'm going, and,
uh, everything's fine.

Well, no.

I mean...

You're back, and...
And I'm back...

But...



We need to figure out
what's going on with you.

Now, I've made
an appointment

for us to talk
to a psychologist
tomorrow afternoon.

Now, if you don't
like her, just tell me,
and we'll find somebody else,

but we have to find
somebody for you to talk to...

Because you can't
just drop out
of school again.

I'm not going to.

I know. I know you think
everything's gonna be
fine from now on,

but the truth is...

Everything's ok right now.

What if...
What if I get sick again,

or, you know, I'm not around?

You gonna just...
Disappear again?

I'll be fine.



I don't need to talk
to anybody.

[sighs]

Claud, I'm not asking. Ok?
You're going.

Annie?

Hey.

I tried calling you, but...
Your...

-Bailey. Hi.
-Hey.

Sorry about the mess.

Hey.

I know I haven't been
around much lately,

but don't I even get
a kiss hello?

Oh, I'm sorry.
I just, uh, I have the flu.

I don't want
to get you sick.

I know. It's a disaster.

-I've just been--
-Sick? I didn't know.

You, you should've told me,
Annie. I had no idea.

I'm, I'm sorry that
I've been gone all week.

I've been running
back and forth
to the hospital.

Which reminds me.
What's the matter
with your phone?

I've been trying
to call you all morning,

And all I've been getting
is a recording saying
it's been disconnected.

-Bailey, come on.
-What?

I mean, you've had
a ton going on here,

But you don't--
It's fine.

It's completely fine that
you haven't called me.

-Ok? You don't have to make--
-Annie. I'm serious.

Bailey.

What happened?
Did you forget to pay
the bill or something?

Well, hey,
it's no big deal.
It happens all the time.

You just pay the bill and
get it turned back on.

Anyway...

Happy birthday.

My birthday's not till July.

Your AA birthday.

Two Years sober.

I was gonna give it to you
at the Thursday
celebration meeting, but...

I couldn't wait...
So...

Go on. Open it.

I told you someone ought to
give you a gold star.

And I miss you.

I miss you, too.

I'm sorry. I'm, uh...

I know. The flu.

No. It's not
in my name. It's in--

Well, how could
she call you? You shut
off her phone service,

which is why I'm--
Yeah, I'll hold.

Unbelievable. It's the fourth
person I've talked to.
What's up?

You know what I realized?

Bailey is one of those
unisex names...

Like Jamie or Sandy.

You drove all the way
over here to tell me that?

No. What I was thinking
is that I could go
to school for you.

I mean... Use your name.
You already paid
for the classes.

It, it'd be crazy
to waste the money.

We already talked
about this, Jule.

I'm not going back to school,
so you don't need to--

Not for you. For me.

Look. I got a letter
last night from Justin,

and he was talking on and on
about stuff at Yale,
And I just thought...

I mean...

It's not like
I regret not going.
I just thought...

Would you mind if I took
one of your classes?

You mean, like, for fun?

Yeah. 'Cause they're free.
And I looked at his schedule,

And I have always wanted
to take comp lit.

So you're not gonna work.

No. No, I'll still work.

The class is at night,
and I'll study nights,
too, and--

God. Do you know
how long it's been,

since I've been
inside a library?

Oh.

Look. Griffin, I figured it out.

As long as we keep
living here,

we can get by on what
you're making at-- It's not just
about the money, Jule.

It's, I thought
we were gonna--

Whatever. Forget it.

Just we hardly see
each other the way it is.

Now you're gonna be
gone three nights a week.

Well, I don't...
I don't have to.

No. No. You should.
You should do it, Jule.

I mean, you're dying to,
and, uh, you talk about
going to the library

the way most people
talk about going Las Vegas.

Do it, Jule. It's fine.
And, uh, it'll be a good thing,
to tell you the truth.

Now I can work late and
get in some overtime.

So it sounds like
there was a lot going on
at your house

when Charlie was
in the hospital.

Did you get to visit him
while he was there?

Yeah.

Well, tell me about that.

I don't know. I mean...

I mean, he was upset
with me, you know,
for, for screwing up.

And what did you say
when he reacted like that?

Is it hard for you to tell
the people around you

how you feel
or what you need?

I'm gonna make a suggestion.

For the next three days,
try using
the following sentence--

"I need you
right now because..."

That's actually not
a complete sentence.

[chuckles]

Well, how about
if you finish it?

I need you right now
because, uh...

Uh...

I don't know. I, I can't...

-I, I can't.
-Yes, you can.

I, uh...

I need you
right now because...

Because, uh...

Did you know
I'm taking driver's ed?

-You are?
-Yeah.

And I need you
to take me out driving.

[chuckles] Well... Ok.

Now, by our standards,
the book is,
is pretty tame.

But what was so shocking
about Madame Bovary

when it was
first published?

Anybody?

[softly] The adultery.

-The adultery?
-[Professor] exactly.

But what was even more
shocking than that?

[Softly] That it was committed
by the heroine.

That the main character
was committed
for using heroin.

That the main character,
the person the reader's
supposed to sympathize with,

did this terrible, immoral act.

-Very good.
Very good, miss, uh...
-Salinger.

Bailey salinger.

Have we seen you
here before?

Oh, well, I've been...
I've been out for a while.

Oh. Well, good
to have you back, Bailey.

Now, the question is,
when Madame Bovary
commits adultery,

are we expected
to condone her actions?

Hey, if I start a job
and finish it
on the same day,

do I check the same box?

'Cause you see the way
they've got the days
of the week--

Just put two checks
in the box.

Great. Thanks.

Except the box isn't big
enough to fit two checks.

Just make small checks. Here.

Ok. Thanks.

But how is Sutherland
gonna know

if it's "Work beginning at"
or "Work completed at"?
Because for all he knows,

somebody could've
brought in two...

-Why are you smiling?
-I'm not.

Can I ask you something?

Is there any particular reason
you're in here
every two seconds?

[chuckles]

So, um...
What did you think?

Did she seem like somebody
you can talk to?

She seemed ok.

Claud, I've been--
I really feel terrible
that you--

That you think
you screwed up on me,
because that's not--

Where's the turn signal?

-Uh, right here.
-Ok.

What I mean is, um...

Everybody screws stuff up,
and, you know, we're all just
trying to do our best here,

-So you can't let--
-Sorry! Sorry.

You know what?
Could you, um...

Could you maybe
not talk? 'Cause
I can't, like...

Like, concentrate on driving.

Charlie?

Want to go home?

I just, I just need a second.

[door opens]

Hey. Thought you were
staying at Annie's tonight.

No. Turns out she's still sick.

Flu's really hangin' on.

Wow. So how long
has she been sick?

Why?

I don't know.
I was just asking.

Yeah, but you said it like--

What?

I don't know.

Why are you so interested
in how long she's been sick?

Well, I don't know.

I mean have, have you
seen her recently?

Mmm-hmm.

And did she--
She seem...

Um...

Ah.

Forget it. I don't even
know what I'm saying.
I'm being paranoid.

You know what?
Um, actually, I wasn't
gonna say anything

'Cause it's nothing.
I mean, it's really
not a big deal,

But last week,
I gave her a one-week
extension on the rent.

You know, she said that
she wasn't gonna
have anything

until after she got
her next paycheck.

And then I saw her
taking Natalie to school
every morning in a cab.

So I was kinda like,
"What's the deal?"

But I'm sure it's nothing.

So...

She didn't seem
like she was--

What?

Nothin'. [door closes]

[Julia] Sorry, sorry.

It's ok. I'm awake.

I was just waiting
for you to come home.

I didn't mean
to be out so late.

Oh, hey, no big deal.

A bunch of us
went out after class,

and we got into this
really radical disagreement

about whether
Madame Bovary
was a good person

in spite of her actions.

You know, I don't even
remember the last time

I got into a fight
about an idea.

It's actually
really interesting.

Because the way
it's written--

I'm sorry. This is
really boring, huh?

No, no.
It's, it's really, uh...

No, no. It is.
I just, uh...

I guess I just sometimes
wish I went to college.
That's all.

Instead of what?

What's that supposed to mean?

Nothin'.

[knock on door]

[knocking continues]

It's ok. I got it.

-Annie.
-I, I'm sorry
to wake you up.

I, um, I locked myself out.

I, I was taking out
the garbage.

Do you have any idea
what time it is?

Well, I couldn't sleep,
so I took one of those
cold pill things.

They made me all wired.

I was cleaning my place.
It was such a mess.

Look, could you just
get me the extra key, please?

'Cause Natalie's
upstairs all by herself.

Well, I'll, I'll come
up there with you.

No. Just the key
will be fine.

So I was thinkin', um,
maybe some afternoon
this week,

we could go out and work
on some three-point turns.

-I figure if we go
to Krissy field--
-This week?

-Yeah.
-Well, actually--

'Cause you said you
needed to practice them.

Well, right, but, actually,
you don't need
to do it with me.

You know, I started
thinking about it,

and you probably
need your rest, so...

No.

I feel ok, and I'm really--

Aunt Sarah's gonna take me.

Oh.

Ok. Well...

-You asked her?
-Yeah.

I, I mean, no!

You know, I just started
thinking about it,

and, you know,
I ought to practice

What Dr. Schultz
told me to do,

so I told Sarah
that I needed to learn
how to drive,

and she practically
insisted on taking me
out driving.

She's not too busy
with school?

She's, like, so not busy.

She's, like,
the most unbusy person
I've ever met.

She has, like,
this major need
to take me out driving.

Plus she has this
really cool convertible.

Oh.

Anyway...
Thanks, you know,
for yesterday.

But, actually,
I got it covered.

It could have been
anybody's trash.

Bailey...

Nobody locks themselves
out of their apartment
at 3:00 in the morning.

So she definitely did seem--

You know she did.

And somebody has
to talk to her, Bailey.
You have to talk to her.

It's not just
about her anymore.
It's about Natalie, too.

Well, maybe she wants me
to help her.

Maybe she wants my help.

Maybe showing up here
in the middle of the night

is like her way
of telling me that.

Yeah.

But... How do I--
how do I do that?
How do I...

How do I look at her
and ask her that?

I can just see the look
on her face.

Annie is so hypersensitive.

I'll ask her, and she'll
just completely withdraw.

And what if I'm wrong?

What if I go ahead,
and I accuse her of this,

and this whole thing's
just in my imagination,
then what?

It's not in your
imagination, Bailey.

And I really wish
I could tell you
you're wrong.

I hope I am.

[Griffin] Hey. Still in here.

Wow. Sorry.

Boy, you really
do tend to, uh,
hang out here, huh?

Yeah. I figured
I'd get in some overtime.

-'Cause Julia's gone--
-[back cracks]

Ouch! Wait! Don't
fall apart or anything.

What, you mean like this?

[knuckles crack]

You do that on purpose.

Yeah. What can I say?
It feels good.

Ok, ok. You think
that's good? Check this out.

No way! Ah!
How do you do that?

I'm a genius.

I can also play
"Twinkle, twinkle, little star"
on the piano with my big toe.

You're a really weird person,
you know that?

You started it.

It makes us two of a kind.

Anyway...

I'm, um...

Gonna go grab a bite.

Ok.

Actually, you know what? I'm kinda hungry myself.

[Professor Sinclair]
At what point
does Madame Bovary

cross over the line
with Rodolfe?

Is it actually when they spend
a night together?

Or is it earlier,
when he helps her
with her glove...

And actually
touches her hand?

Ah. Yes, Bailey.

I think it's even
earlier than that.
Before they even touch.

I think it's when she
shows up at the fair.

What makes you think that?

Well, the way Flaubert
sets up the scene--

The way her skirt
is spattered with mud--
It's symbolic.

And just the way
they look at each other,

and they kind of
circle each other.

It's just...
Really clear something's
gonna happen.

You can sit next
to me, you know.

What?

Uh, nothin', nothin'.

Uh, just, uh, I mean,
we're really doing this.

-Having a burger?
-Because I'm married.

Griffin...
Nothing is happening.

-I know.
-[woman] excuse me.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Anyway, I'm just gonna
try to figure out
what to order.

I can't decide between
the chili cheese fries or...

Hamburger with French fries...

[clears throat]

[mumbles] Now let's order.

-Feel better?
-A little.

Really?

You want Sarah
to take you driving?

The way she drives,
I mean, she's always
riding the brakes,

and she's really jumpy
behind the wheel.

Yeah. Well, you see,
the thing is, you can't,
Julia's busy with school,

and, and Charlie's
not feeling too great.

Oh. Well, was she
supposed to meet you
here or something?

You see, the thing is,
I hadn't actually
asked her yet.

I was just hoping that
maybe she'd be here.

-Is that for you?
-I don't know.

Oh.

Uh, sorry. I just assumed
you'd be out.

I just, uh--
I wanted to return the key.

Annie, are you free
this afternoon?

Look, the thing is,
I really need to learn
how to drive.

No. Annie can't do it, Claud.

Oh, 'cause, uh...

Right. Well, if you
can't do it today,

then maybe tomorrow
or even maybe
this weekend.

She can't do it, Claud.

Right.

I just remembered something
incredibly important
that I have to do,

So, um,
I'm just gonna go.

What was that about?

Nothing.

Well, no. You looked
like you were terrified

that I was gonna
get into a car
with your sister.

[sighs]

What are you trying
to say to me here, Bailey?

I don't know.

I don't know what's
going on here.

You show up here
at 3:00 in the morning--

Oh, thanks.

Thanks for having
so much faith in me.

Hey, I have faith in you.

I know how hard
you have worked at this
over the past two years.

I know that,
and I believe in you.

So...

If you're...
If you're having a problem...

Then we'll deal with that.
We can deal with that.

But if you're not honest
with me, then that's just
gonna make it worse.

So, if you are...

If I'm what?

If you're drinking.

I don't believe this!

Um, I'm just saying--
Annie, I'm saying
that I can help!

[Dr. Schultz]
What kind of things did you talk
to him about before he got sick?

I don't know.
Just, uh, just stuff.

Anything important?

Um, If you failed a test...

Would you talk
to Charlie about that?

Maybe.

If you were really upset...

Would he have been the person
you would have talked to?

I don't know.
I, uh, probably.

Can you tell me
about a time when, um,
you were really upset

and you turned to Charlie?

Well, things got a little...

Things got a little hard,

you know, after my parents, uh,
after they died.

And you turned to him?

Sometimes.

How'd it feel to talk to him?

Maybe a little...

A little less terrible.

But it sounds like
you don't do that,
very much at all anymore.

Am I wrong?

He's too sick?

You don't want to bother him?

You're worried about
being a burden to him?

Do you miss talking to him?

Because maybe you still can.

Why not?

I just can't.

That's all.

What if you try?

Even if he's sick,
he's still the same person.

Maybe he misses you, too.

Maybe, he can make it all
a little less terrible.

Maybe.

I'm sorry.
I'll turn the light off
in a minute.

Where's that part
where she kisses Leon?

I just want--

I'm sorry, Griffin.
You worked so late.
You must be really tired.

No. Really, it's ok.

I'm just glad
you're having fun.

I am.

Do you want to hear
about the thesis
of my paper?

Uh, no. You're too tired.
I'm sorry.

No, no. Tell me. -Really?
-Yeah.

Ok.

I just--
I kind of feel like

Madame Bovary's seen
as such a sleazebag,

because she cheated
on her husband,

But there are other
economic factors at play
with her and Rodolfe.

I mean, yeah, ok,
she stepped out
on her husband,

but Flaubert's
kinda hard on her.

Really, I mean,
the way she dies,

vomiting up all
that black putrescence.

-She does?
-Yeah.

Yeah, the putrescence
is supposed to represent
how corrupt her soul is,

but, I don't know,
I just think
he's unfair to her.

I mean, she was just...
Lonely.

Well, putrescence, what,
is that a sexually
transmitted disease?

Char?

Uh, Charlie?

Yeah.

I, I was wondering if...

Uh, you're busy.
You're busy.
Forget about it.

No, no, no. I just, uh,
I just got this crazy idea

to build a bench
for the backyard, but--

That's fine.
We'll just do it
some other time.

No. Claud, really, wh--
What's up?

I was just wondering,
you know, just wondering

if maybe it'd be a good day
to go out driving.

I'd love to.
That'd be great.

I was just thinking
maybe we could go out
to Krissy field

and practice three-point turns.

And then if you
had the time,

maybe we could just
drive somewhere.

Great! Yeah.
That would be--

This is good.
This is good, you know.

This is the kind
of thing that...

Dr. Schultz said
you should be doing, so...

Well...Great!

Ok.

Great.

"Moral ambiguity
of Madame Bovary
By Bailey salinger."

Complex, subtle,
emotionally mature argument.

I was blown away.

Really?

But I've got to ask you.

Did you buy this
on the net?

What?

Bailey, I don't get it.

You're so smart in class,
but I look at your midterms,

You identified
the D'urbervilles
as an Irish folk band.

-I did?
-Yes.

Oh.

I don't know what's
more disturbing--

The idea that you'd buy this,
or the idea that someone
with this level of talent

has so little integrity
or self-respect that
they're out there selling it.

No. I swear,
I wrote it, really. I--

Bailey salinger didn't.

You're right about that,
but I did.

I'm his sister.

Bailey dropped out
of school a couple
of weeks ago.

You can check
the registrar. It's true.

This is too byzantine
for me to follow.

Your brother
dropped out of college,

so you're taking
his classes for him?

Not for him, for me.

Just this one.

You're not in college yourself?

Well, I was supposed
to go to Stanford this year,

but at the last
minute, I bailed.

Why?

Seemed like a good idea
at the time.

We've gotta stop.

Oh, my god!

-This is nuts.
-I know.

All I can think about is when
I'm gonna see you again.

Maybe, uh...

Maybe you could come
to my place.

I mean, we're never
alone otherwise.

I keep thinking
of Madame Bovary.

-I never read it.
-Me, neither.

I just don't think
I can do it, Rosalie.

Well, it's all in French.

No! No, I just--
I mean, I...

That I can't go
to your place.

Like it's too official.
Like we're officially
doing something.

-I'm sorry.
-It's ok.

Oh, uh...

-I better
get back to work.
-Ok.

How about tomorrow night?

[Charlie] Come on, Claud,
come on. You can do it.

Give it some more speed.

Come on. There's
nothing out here to hit.
Give it, uh, 35.

I can't do this.

You can do it.
Look, you're...

You're doing it.

-I'm doing it.
-You're doing it.

I'm doing it.

-You're doing it.
-Yeah!

Don't let go.
Don't let go.

-[Claudia screams]
-[Charlie] okay, okay...
You're okay. You're okay.

-Heads up.
-Excuse me. Can we--

Sorry, new.

Anyway, um, what
I was thinking was,
this is kinda nuts,

but when you get
your driver's license,

would it be
completely insane
to get you a car?

-Charlie...
-I'm serious.

'Cause I was 18 when Mom
and Dad bought me a car.

And I was just thinking,
you know, why wait?

And this way
I'd know what you're
gonna be driving.

I just wanna know that stuff.

Excuse me!

I better just take this up.

If no one else
has anything to say,

someone has
a birthday today.

In two years of sobriety,

she's made a life
for herself
and her daughter,

working hard,
sometimes all alone.

Annie?

Has anyone seen Annie?

You can stop looking.
She's not here.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

She's not gonna be here.

[knock on door]

Annie, open up.
I know you're in there.

Nat? Honey,
are you in there?

[lock clicks]

She's at Melissa's.

She had a sleepover
at Melissa's.

Yeah, you said.

[door closes]

You missed your birthday.

No. My birthday's not till July.

Please don't look
at me that way.

You think Natalie knows?

I don't think she knows.

God, she's gotten so big.

Hasn't she gotten big?
And so beautiful.

I would do anything for her.

[sighs] I hate fighting.

I don't want to fight
with you, Annie.

This is the first time,
I swear.

For God's sake.
Stop lying to me, ok?

I mean, I don't even know
if you're lying to me
or you're lying to yourself.

I really don't.

Please don't look
at me like that, ok?

'Cause you know what? This is it.

I'm here, you know?

Two years.

Two big years.

I could go on like this
the rest of my life.

I mean, is that a joke?

Like my life's gonna
ever get any better.

And so what, you know?

I mean, who even cares anyhow?

If I run out,
I can always go to
a liquor store somewhere.

You don't believe me?

Try it.

-No, thank you.
-No. You can handle it.

You just have one
just to take off the edge.

-We can do it together.
-No.

That's just it.
You don't have to feel it.

You don't have
to feel anything.

I said no!

I can't do this, Annie.

[Claudia] So I did what
you said I should do.

I decided that I was
going to, to actually
spend time with Charlie.

So we went out driving,
and we practically spent
the entire day together,

And it was really great.

It's just like before,
you know?

We went out to dinner,
and we talked about stuff.

And he told me about
how he wants to,
like, buy me this car,

And it was, um...
It's really great.

You know, and I'm
gonna definitely try

and hang out with him
some more from now on.

He really made me
feel a lot better.

That's what you
wanted me to say, right?

Uh, Mr. Salinger.

Uh, I have some
bad news for you.

I, uh...

I talked to our
department head,

and she says it's
absolutely against policy

to allow a non-enrolled
student to audit a class.

Otherwise,
anyone could sit in.

Oh.

They seem to be
under the impression

that the multitudes
want nothing more

than to audit
comparative literature,
which is why I'm asking,

would you be interested
in a job?

I can only pay you
minimum wage, but I need
a research assistant,

10-15 hours a week.

I'm writing a book
on the image of women in
medieval European texts.

-Really?
-Really.

And, of course,
as my assistant,

you're entitled
to sit in on my classes,

Of course, I'd insist on it.

[exclaims]

Thank you. I'm sorry.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.

I'll take that as a yes.

Hey.

I thought I heard you out here.

How's the bench coming along?

Great...

As long as nobody
over two feet high ever
tries to sit on it.

I miscalculated the legs.

I wanted to tell you
I had another session
with Dr. Schultz.

Oh, yeah?

So, um...

Tell me about it.
How do you think
that's going?

Well, you see,
the thing is...

She thinks I need
more stuff in my life.

You know?

It's not good for me
to just to come home
and hang out with you.

Well...

Wow! I...

I didn't think about that.

Yeah. She thinks
I need to, you know,

I need to be
spending more time
with my friends

and spending time
on my schoolwork
and practicing my violin.

And she thinks part
of the reason why I
just freaked out so much

was I got so behind
in my schoolwork.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess that'd...

That'd make sense.

So, basically,
I've gotta get a life.

Right.

I guess what I mean is,

the whole driving thing
was fun, but...

We're not really gonna be able
to do it for a while.

Well...

Ok.

Yeah.

And it's only 15 hours a week,
but he said,
in the summertime,

I might be able
to go full-time.

And the great thing about being
a university employee

is you get access
to everything,

the on-campus movies,
the library,
the art gallery.

Great. So call him
and tell him you'll do it.

I already did.

Oh, good.

I was gonna talk
to you about it,
but you were at--

No. No, no, no.
That's fine.

Well, good.

Well, if I'm going
to get started,

he wanted me to put together
a preliminary bibliography,

so I was gonna go
to the library tonight.

Can I borrow your jacket?
It gets freezing in there.

What? No, sure.
It's fine.

I'm really happy
for you, Jule.

I know.

[door closes]

-Hi.
-Hi.

I just, uh...

I just came to say I'm sorry.

-Annie--
-No. I am.

And, uh...

I mean...

I'm figuring that
this way, you know,
if I apologize...

Then maybe you'll come back.

'Cause I just--

I can't take it if you
disappear on me again.

I mean, that's why I slipped.

I wouldn't have
slipped otherwise,
but you disappeared.

Annie, come on, you know...

Charlie was in the hospital.
You know that.
There was no way--

I know. I really do.

The thing is last time
I didn't know when you
were gonna come back.

You know, and my mind
started turning.

Charlie's really sick,
and it could be months.

Maybe years.

I gotta cope here.

The thing is...

Years is like...

I can't do that, Bailey.

Because if I don't have you...

[Annie sighs]

I don't have anything.

Annie...

You can't--
You can't say that.

You can't make me
the center of your life
because realistically--

No. Realistically?

Wow, that's great,
realistically.

I mean realistically,
the thing is, you know...

I mean, now you're telling me?

I knew that I shouldn't
get involved with you,

but you talked me into it.

-Annie--
-No. You did.

I mean, all of a sudden,
you were all over my life.

You got me to quit my job, you talked me into
telling Natalie--

I know. Ok, look, I'm sorry. Ok? But how was I supposed
to know that Charlie
was gonna get sick?

Ok, so now you're
not supposed to be
the center of my life,

but you know what? I knew that.

And then it was like
I needed you to be
there all the time.

And then, boom! You're gone!

No more center of my life.

So...

I just want to know, you know...

How long it's gonna
be this time.

Unless--

Unless you're
walking away for good.

No.

No, of course I'm not.

Ok, look. I gotta
finish up work here.

It should take me
about an hour,

and then I'll come by
your place.

Ok?

Ok.

[girl giggles]

He did?
What did you say to him?

'Cause I think
he's incredibly--

I just can't believe it.

[girl whispering]
I can't believe it.

[laughing] oh, that's
so disgusting.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I don't know
what I'm doing here.

I don't know
if I should come in.

Griffin, we don't
have to do anything.

I just wanna be
with you, you know,
for a little while.

We'll just talk or...

Order Chinese food or...
I don't know, dance?

-You dance much?
-No.
