Fallen Drive

Anyway, what, what were you saying?

The dress? Yes. I, I I don't know where the,

where the one you wore to, to Sarah's wedding there.

The, the, the blue, the blue one

with the, oh, well see, that's what I mean.

I have no idea though.

If you think about it, A wedding

is kind of corporate, right?

No, no, no, no, no, no. Ours, ours won't be like that.

I'm just, look,

when did I become an expert on this stuff?

You know? Ask your sister.

No, I know. I do care. Okay. I'm just, I'm just tired.

No, I didn't sleep on the plane, but it's fine.

I'll, you know, I'll knock out for a bit

before heading over to Nicole's.

Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine.

I'm just, you know, wondering if I should have even come.

I, I, I just feel like, you know, if I, if I,

if he does show up, you know, it could turn the shit

and could backfire and,

and if he doesn't show up it,

it'll be just a huge waste of time.

So I, I just dunno if I have the energy

for it anymore, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna keep reaching out.

I just, I'm not gonna go crawl into him, you know, so.

Yeah. Yeah. I will. Alright, well, thank you. Okay.

I love you. I you're gonna crush it tomorrow. Okay.

voice message system.

Not sure if you got my text,

but I am in town for a day

for like a class reunion.

So I sent you the address.

Yeah, I think I'd like to see that

You're watching your life. Yeah.

- Yeah. I'll come over here so I can get a good view.

- What? - Why didn't we do anything in high school?

- Were you interested? - You're gonna act surprised?

- Or was it that obvious? - Weren't you a good student?

- What are you implying? - Did I miss my chance?

You guys weren't even watching.

- I was watching. We - Were watching.

What are you guys talking about?

- Nothing. Just - Family.

Oh yeah. Speaking of family.

How your little brother doing? He in prison yet?

- Funny. No, he's kind of the opposite actually.

I heard he just graduated the local police academy. So

You're a liar.

That, that's what I

Heards.

Seriously. They give that, get a firearm,

That stop.

You guys are always so mean to him.

I'm not being mean. I'm genuinely

concerned for public safety.

Are you gonna see him while you're here?

- Yeah. That's kind of the reason I came out.

So, yeah. Hopefully

I call bullshit.

I think you just out here to brag about your perfect life

and remind us of how shitty ours is.

- Well, yeah, that's just like a little cherry on top.

- Alright, - On that note, I'm gonna go change.

Hey, don't ever change.

Can we play some bags now?

- Yes, let's do it. - Oh, you gonna hit it,

Dude, I'm engaged.

Exactly. Engaged. I'm married.

I'm pretty sure engaged is just French for Not yet.

The old medium would've never given up an

opportunity to get laid.

- Yeah. Well, I guess I matured a little in the last decade.

Yeah, well, that maturity deal me out.

What's the deal? You don't have a

girlfriend? Nah, nothing.

- Well, I did, but you know, she wasted seven years

of my life, so now I don't.

Oh, shit. Sorry about that.

That's good, man. She was crazy.
