Dear Luke, Love, Me

-So? -

Look, I don't even remember actually--

-Neither do I. -Yeah.

We, uh--

we definitely did, though.

-Yeah. -Oh, yeah. Yeah.

No question.

-Okay. -We're good, though, right?

Oh.

Yeah, of course.

-Like it never even happened? - It didn't.

According to my short-term memory.

So yay us.

- -Great.

-Awesome. -Still friends?

-Yeah, duh. -Making sure.

Whose house are we even at?

You want to get some Taco Bell?

Oh, abso--

My life was a sun once.

Molecules of light and fire all huddled into one star.

But then we suffered this great explosion

and became fragmented in so many different directions.

Friends are getting farther and farther away.

Brilliant light separated by shadows.

Miss, next.

Um, I'm Penny,

and I'm here because...

I wanted to stop being such a lazy fucking slob, I guess.

Thank you. Next.

It's hard making new friends here.

People already seem to have their own tribe.

It's not like undergrad

where everyone wants to know everyone.

- -

-You good down there? -The-- the lock's just tricky.

I feel like I'm...

disconnected with everyone in the world.

It's weird being away from you.

Have you heard the song "Rivers and Roads"

by The Head and Heart?

It reminds me of you.

Most music reminds me of you.

You know, my dad saw Bob Dylan live once.

- When? -Uh, I don't know, late '70s?

You know, he said, uh,

when he played "Like a Rolling Stone,"

no one even recognized the song

because he played it so many millions of times, you know?

He just-- he just wanted to keep it interesting for himself

and change it up.

I wonder if that's what being married is like.

Playing the same song over and over

and getting bored of it?

Probably.

Well, you can't divorce your spouse,

you can't divorce genius.

Yeah, I don't think I'm going to get married.

Can I play this?

Uh, do you know how?

-Never had one, listen. -

Oh, you have Double Fantasy!

You know, I actually really like Yoko.

My mom always said that Yoko broke up with The Beatles,

but I think that's a cop out.

Oh, my God, exactly. I know!

I mean, there were clearly other problems going on.

-I mean, the egos. -Exactly.

John and Yoko's love was, like, past lives,

lightning to the brain, thunder to the heart.

-Once in a lifetime. -Once in forever.

-Shouting from the rooftop. -A best friend.

-Soulmate. -Telepathic.

John and Yoko finding love.

-Oh, my God. -God.

Yeah, they were lucky because that kind of thing

does not happen very often.

I mean, of course Yoko hasn't remarried.

No, because it's sacred.

That kind of love, that's more than just sex.

Sex has nothing to do with it.

Oh, I bet they had banging sex.

Or maybe not.

Maybe not?

"Why Don't We Do It in the Road?"

Yeah, they had banging sex, but their connection

makes sex seem superficial is what I'm saying.

Oh, I totally agree with you.

Is this...

I don't know.

-Otherworldly. -

["First Night" by Alternative Radio playing]

John and Yoko, man.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop.

Oh, my God, do you feel that?

Yeah.

The-- the vibe.

-Heartbeat. -Heartbeat.

-Vibe. Same thing. -Right. Same thing.

It's like the air is pulsing.

Yeah, or, like...

-breathing. -

Oh.

Oh.

You know this makes us actual tree huggers now.

I'm okay with that.

They're-- they're soft.

You know, when loggers first found this place,

they thought they found this gold mine of lumber.

Huh.

And when they cut down the first sequoia,

it was so big, they said it fell in slow motion.

Yes, the bigger it is, the slower it falls.

Trees are so delicate.

And when they hit the ground,

they shatter into a million splinters.

Couldn't use them for anything except toothpicks.

Hm.

Largest trees in the world...

...reduced to toothpicks.

-You still believe in God? -Um, I believe in something.

-I believe in the vibe. -

No, I mean, I was raised Catholic, so.

-Hm. -

Okay, there was this one time when--

Oh, my God, I can't believe I'm going to tell you this.

Okay, so I was eight years old.

And I was--

I was taking the biggest shit of my life.

And I was--

All I could think of was, "Jesus suffered worse than this.

Jesus suffered worse than this.

If he can get crucified, then I can get through this."

Well, uh, a big poop to an eight-year-old,

that's a pretty tough moment.

-Oh, my God, it's huge. - Okay.

I'm guessing you stopped believing in all that bullshit

a while ago, too.

Yeah, yeah.

-Yep. -What happened?

Um, well, my youth group was going on this rafting trip,

and I was so excited,

because I had always wanted to go rafting.

And all of my friends were going,

and we had spent the whole summer,

door-to-door, fundraising.

And that week, week of the rafting trip,

was when everyone found out

that my dad was having an affair with another man.

-No! -And the youth leader said

I couldn't go on the rafting trip anymore.

What?

And we weren't allowed back in the church anymore.

And I really never saw any of those friends ever again.

So, that's pretty much when I stopped believing.

Oh, my God!

That's, like, severely fucked up.

- -That's traumatic.

Yeah.

-Just because your dad's gay? -No, no.

Uh, they had no problem with him being gay.

It was the whole cheating on your wife thing.

Oh, my God!

How old were you?

-Seventh grade. -Shit!

-That's great timing. -Yep.

Was there ever a-- a moment for you?

Um, no.

Not like one momentous moment, no.

Okay.

Just, you know,

one day you-- you do, one day you don't.

Like the trees.

["Lost and Found" by Peter Hepworth playing]

No, no, no.

If you ever listen to Brian May solo live,

he's hands down the best guitarist on the planet.

I mean...

...he's like a spider

spinning a web in-- in fast motion.

But Jimi Hendrix!

Living. I said living.

-You so did not. -Okay, fine.

Move.

Oh, uh, you do not have to sleep

on the couch if you don't want to.

You can sleep in my bed if you want.

Really?

Dude, you've been sharing my bed every night

for, like, the last month.

Come on, I mean, it's you.

Okay, I'm just making sure.
