Mmm. Where you going?

Work. Sunday brunch.

I'm already late.

Neil's going to kill me.

Are you okay? Yeah.

Yeah, last night was fun.

You're not feeling weird about... No.

No, he was hot, right?

Very.

But not as hot as you.

Meet me at the cafe. I'll be done at six.

* Or maybe even Rome

* No, we'll never know

* A place called home

* Until we're old and grown

Hello.

How's your day?

Good. Good. Yeah.

Um...

Okay, so I want to talk to you...

Wait, before you say anything...

I saw you looking at it last time you were over.

It's the artwork I did for the florists.

I thought that print would, you know, look good in your bedroom.

That's really sweet. Thank you.

You're very welcome. Um...

Okay, I... I wanna take a break.

What?

Yeah, just... Just a break for a little while.

We're not breaking up. I... Why?

I mean, I just need some time to just figure things out.

For myself. And so I think we should take a break.

What's going on?

Nothing's going on. I...

I just...

It has nothing to do with you.

Neil, I'm sorry. The subway was crazy but I'm here now.

It's brunch, Aaron. Are you crazy?

I know, I know. Look, I'll take one of your shifts next week.

Table four, okay? Okay, thank you. Thank you!

You seem angry. Are you angry?

I'm not angry, Annie.

I'm hurt.

'Cause I love you.

Is there someone else? No.

We always said we'd be honest with each other.

I know. That's why I'm here. So we can talk.

These six months have been great.

I know they have. That's why I don't understand.

How you guys doing? I'm Aaron, I'm gonna be your server today.

Thank you.

You guys have any questions?

We need more time.

I'll be right back.

Is there someone else?

It isn't serious. It's...

What's his name?

It doesn't matter. Just tell me his name.

Mandy.

"Mandy?"

Yeah.

You're seeing Mandy?

Uh...

Mandy is nice. Mandy is great.

Wait, you never mentioned before that you...

Well, that's because it's a recent development.

Me and Mandy is... Have you ever had feelings?

You know, feelings for... women?

Well, yeah. Yeah. Um...

She's just...

It's different. Yeah, I have.

I just... I need some time to figure things out, that's all.

Please don't be upset.

Okay?

Are you...

You guys ready? I can't see you anymore.

Stan...

* Oh, Darling Will you marry me?

* I'll love you Till my dying day

* Oh, Darling Will you marry me?

* I'll love you Till I die, baby *

How'd your skaterboy thing go?

Oh, disastrous.

I mean, he was so immature.

I met him. He seemed really sweet.

He was really young and he didn't have his shit together.

Hold on, he was like 23. Yeah.

Yeah, so am I. And he didn't understand that I had auditions.

Yes, but I'm sorry.

You don't give yourself an opportunity to be in a relationship.

I give a lot of opportunity.

No, you don't. Yes, I... How much money did you make?

Uh, 240. You did not.

Yeah, it's brunch.

Ah, it's because you're flirty and you put your hands on their...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. vile customers' shoulders.

No, I do not. That's true.

Whatever. 240?

You didn't even... You're buying drinks on Wednesday, period.

See you later. Tell Marcus I said "Hi."

Yeah.

I feel really bad for him.

Well, here's the thing, though. He doesn't make himself available.

So it's not like he's gonna find someone.

Wait, wait, wait. What about that skinny, white skater boy?

Which one?

That's true. Goes through 'em like left and right, man.

And never settles down with any of them.

He just wants to take him out for a spin on...

the Neil train. The Neil train.

Oh.

I smell like hash browns.

Mmm.

I woke up the other day before the alarm went off.

Just sitting there, watching you.

Really? Yeah.

Your head on that pillow. Looked like a little nut.

Yeah. Aww.

Like a big ol' almond or something.

I just wanted to take my jaw...

unhinge it... Mmm-hmm.

and swallow your head whole.

You know, there's no distance between us.

I love you.

I love you.

Last night was fun. Yeah?

It was hot to see you with him.

Really?

Working your thing, yeah.

You serious?

Yeah.

I was thinking, do you...

Do you maybe wanna like

try an open relationship?

We could try.

Yeah? Maybe.

Maybe?

You know.

But we need some rules.

We definitely need rules.

Yeah.

What if...

Okay, no repeats. We only have fun with a guy once

and we always, always tell each other.

Come on.

Let's not make rules we know we're gonna break.

Please don't ever lie to me, Marcus.

I can't promise that.

Neither can you.

Well, I've never lied to you. Oh, really?

Yeah. What about whatshisname?

No, don't even bring him up.

I was working on play, playing his boyfriend.

I got confused, all right?

And P.S.that was once in six years, so...

Fair enough.

Okay, well, what about our place,

like, are we allowed to have people over, or we...

All right, listen.

The rules.

We don't fall in love. That's it, that's the rule.

* A million dark nights

* You feel that you have No hope *

So in the 60s,

they talked a lot about

changing the world, and ending the war,

the truth is, kids, they didn't really do much

except take a lot of drugs and get herpes.

Okay, uh, sorry. Teacher's feeling a little out today.

Let's just open the textbooks to...

Um, okay, don't forget,

your Watergate assignment is due tomorrow.

You can put anything you want in them, but make them about Nixon.

Oh, shit.

Hey, Mandy.

Hey.

Do you ever look at internet porn?

Yeah, everybody does.

I guess cause things are over with Stan.

Yeah, I still don't understand why.

He's 20, he's in a band.

Uh, so?

Last night, I looked at this site for two hours.

Just all these pictures of stuff.

I think it's done something to my brain. Huh?

Like, when I woke up this morning

I somehow felt like my brain was somehow different.

You know, because of the porn, like it

changed the chemistry of my brain.

I don't think porn changes your brain.

What would you like to look at? I mean, when you look.

Oh, um...

I'm on Zoloft.

Huh? So I'm not much in the mood for...

Oh. all of that...
