"Previously on "Being Erica":" "You keep saying that that other life wasn't real." "So make it real." "I'd like to take one of your landscape architecture courses, please." "Take my hand and watch my hips." "'Cause these hips..." "These hips don't lie." "You wanted exciting;" "Riding a bike is about as exciting as it gets." "Even if it lands you in the hospital?" "!" " You're back." " I am." "Yeah." " He came to see ya?" " He's back on a regret." "One that might keep him here for a while, and he just wanted me to know." "He's not over you, Erica." "Cut things off with Kai, that's what I want you to do." "It's just I've been stuck in the city for the past few summers and this year I'd really like to get away." "Well, we could rent a cottage for the weekend." "Yeah, we could." "I was thinking more..." "You know, leaving on a jet plane and less five hours stuck in traffic on the 400." "Seriously." "I mean, there's nothing stopping us." "Well, except your business, my job, and a little thing called money." "Well, we could figure that out, if it means going to..." " Dublin." " Yeah!" "I mean, we could steal a week in August." "We could go over a long weekend and you could be my own private tour guide." "What do you think?" "I say a big yes to Dublin - in September." "Summer's too busy at work." "September?" "But, I mean, school starts back in September." "Well, actually, there's a foreman job opening up." "Pays great, I'd get management experience, but it would mean putting school on hold for now." "So, what, you're dropping out?" "No, I'm not dropping out." "I'm just focusing on my career." "At the expense of your education which could lead to a bigger, higher paying career down the line?" "Just think, if I got the job, we'll be able to do things together, enjoy life, eat out, travel." "I'm sick of being broke." "Do you honestly think I could afford a flight to Dublin?" " Yes." " With what money?" "Well, okay, I could help out." " I mean, we could use my money!" " Don't!" "Okay, fine." "I don't know." "I mean, we'll just..." "we'll get creative, you know?" "You could wait till the end of the next semester and then sell your motorbike, and you could put that towards a trip next Spring." "So we're back to the motorbike again?" "Jesus!" "Can we finish one fight before jumping back to the previous one?" "I am just looking for options." "You know what?" "Forget it." "Where are you going?" "Work." "Adam!" "Dr. Tom." "What are we both doing here?" "This is couples therapy." "♪" "Being Erica 04x05 "If I could turn back time" Original Air Date:" "October 31, 2011."

"Well, we're fighting." "Again." "What happened?" "I'm making a decision that Erica doesn't agree with." "Fact is, it's my life," "I'll make my own decisions." "And I want you to make your own decisions." "But don't I get a say in it?" "I mean, Adam, you are settling for a foreman job, when you could be... setting your bar so much higher." "I feel like she's constantly pushing me to live up to some invisible standard." "Like nothing is good enough." "Like you won't even take into account where I started." "I am trying to help you achieve your potential." "I'm your boyfriend, Erica, not your patient!" "Oh!" "Oh, great." "You're just gonna walk out again." "Dr. Tom, what is happening to us?" "We used to..." "Everything was good, and now it's like..." "Every conversation turns into a fight." "Relationships are difficult." "You know, we know this, and yet, we hope that with each new person that the honeymoon will last forever." "But it doesn't." "It's not supposed to be endlessly easy, Erica." ""What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly."" "Thomas Paine." "Relationships challenge us in ways that we don't want to be challenged, force us to see things that we don't want to see about our partner..." "And about ourselves." "Ooh, what if... what if our next book was the history of aluminum." "Hear me out, okay?" "'Cause it's in everything from pop cans to airplanes." "And we're even pronouncing it wrong." "It's actually..." "A-lu-min-ee-ium." "Fascinating, huh?" "Am I being punk'd?" "OMG." "OMG, you're right." "You're right." "This is like totally the worst idea I've ever had." "This is why I need to go cold turk on the caf." "The caf?" "The caffeine!" "It's making me a crazy lady." "It's like my brain's in hyper-drive and all I'm doing is spewing out half-baked ideas and speaking in acronyms." "LOL, you totally are." "Your wish is my command, m'lady." "What is this?" "It's iced tea." "Try it." "Mmm!" "That's actually not bad." "Props, Ray-Ray." "So maybe this could be part of a new routine for you." "Less caffeine makes JG a nicer boss." "OMG, LOL." "JG." "Are you having a stroke?" "A stroke of genius." "Picture it:" "A cheeky guide to 21st century rapid communication." "All abbreevs and acronyms." "Tingles!" "Tingly feeling." "S-T-F up!" "This is good!" "Morning." "Oh, Erica." "I, uh, did another pass on my wedding speech." "I don't suppose there's any chance that you could take a look at it for me?" "Yeah, of course." "I'll look at it today." "Oh, thanks." "I owe you." " Hey." " Hey." "I'm not interrupting?" "My creative process?" "No, I'm just rewriting some lyrics." "Do you rewrite a lot?" "Well, if you want something to be great, you have to keep working at it." "Oh, no kidding." "The same goes for books." "Jody thinks I should lower my standards." "But..." "I need to aim higher, not lower." "Are you okay?" " Yeah." " Yeah?" "No, not really." "Look, Kai, I have some bad news and I just hope that you'll understand." "Adam, he doesn't want me to see you anymore." "This is all seeming very familiar." "Ethan." "I know." "But look, this is different, because, Ethan, he was insecure before anything had happened." "But now, we actually do have a history." "So what?" "Look, I'm sorry." "I can't really defend it or explain it, but it is important to him..." "So that's just the way that it is gonna have to be, for now." "If that's the way it's gotta be, that's the way it's gotta be." "Thanks." "Oh!" "Erica!" "What?" "Okay, stand right there." "Okay, no." "Sit." "Should she sit or stand?" "You should sit." "For what?" "Um, the greatest pitch ever." "We're on fire over here!" "Okay, Ray-Ray, will you make me another one of those" "Tetley infusion iced tea thingies?" "Yes, boss." "Sit-sit-sit-sit-sit-sit!" "Thank God!" "I could use some good news today." "Okay, when you're online, do you ever wonder WTF all these PPLs are LMAOing about?" "Maybe." "Which is why you need this!" "A cheeky little guide full of netspeak and abbreevs." "It's catchy." "It's something that you'd pick up from a display at the check-out." "You'd be like, OMG," "I had no idea BFTTEOs are best friends that touch each other." " What?" " Solid gold or is it solid gold?" "Uh..." "Adam." "Hi." "I'm on break." "Can I steal Erica for a walk?" "Of course." "I'll be back in a bit to talk about your idea." "Our "idea." Yeah, no problemo." "I'm sorry if I came across like I was attacking you," "I just..." "Everything that I was saying is because I want what's best for you." "I know." "If I make a mistake, it's my mistake to make." "Okay." "So, I saw Kai this morning and I told him the deal." "What'd he say?" "Well, he wasn't happy with it, but I think that he gets it." "Because I think that he can see how much I love you." "Because I do." "Adam, I really love you." "I love you, too." "Adam, you can trust me with Kai." "I hope that you know that." "I do, I know." "But I can't trust him with you." "I know it might not make sense, but it's how I feel." "So please just give me that and in return..." "Whatever you want." "Whatever I want?" "Wow." "Actually, you know what?" "There..." "There is something that I want." "I want you to stop walking out when we're in the middle of a fight." "The reason I walk out is because if I get to that point," "I feel like I'm gonna punch the wall." "When you walk out or you shut down, it just compounds things." "'Cause I need to talk things through, that's how I am." "Okay, I hear you, but..." "When I get mad, I can't think straight and I think it's safer if I just leave." "But I'll always come back and talk things through like we're doing now." "Okay." "I should get back to work." "Yeah, me too." " Bye." " Bye." "Chicken, can we get back to the pitch now though?" "Oh." "There's more?" "Well, of course, it's early days." "We were just working out all the deets." "Oops!" "You did it again!" "I know I did." "You see, Erica?" "Abbreevs are everywhere." "They're the evolution of language." "50/50 could be the Charles Darwin of communication." "You could call the book," ""On the Origin of Speech-ease"!" "Do you see?" "Even Ray-Ray's tripping on our lingo train." "I don't see it as a book." "I'm sorry." "I see it more as in-joke between you two." "Um... okay." "Well, uh, maybe we're just not communicating the idea as well as we could." "Julianne, look," "I said that I don't see it as a book." "I know that you guys are excited about it, but I think that we can do better than a book about abbreviations." "I'm just gonna grab a muffin and come back and we can pow-wow." "Phew!" "What are you doing?" "I'm tweeting." ""Patient just walked in." "BRB."" "Please." "Not you, too." "Not me too, what?" "I don't know." "I..." "I feel like everything in my life - my relationships, my job - it feels like it's challenged." "Well then, what a perfect opportunity." "A perfect opportunity for what?" "For facing an even greater challenge, of course." "Okay, Dr. Tom, when I tell you that I am feeling overwhelmed, what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to give me a break and just take it easy on me." "I'm sorry, who is the doctor here, and who's the doctor-in-training again?" "You." "You're the doc." "I acquiesce." "You've spent your time in doctor training analyzing your patients." "Now it's time to undertake a new challenge to broaden the scope of your experience." "Okay." "How?" "Well, every trainee gets the opportunity to wield power, before they actually become a doctor." "Like sending me to an alternate reality where I'm the prime minister?" "No, like I grant you the power of time travel." " Seriously?" " Mm-hm." "You have 24 hours." "Oh my God." "Really?" "Until this sand runs out, you will be able to play with and manipulate time with the following limitations:" "You'll only be able to manipulate time within today;" "You can't go to the future and you can't go into the past beyond this morning." "You can, however, manipulate space." "So any doorway that you go through will lead you to..." "wherever you wanna be." "I don't really know what to say." "Thank you." "You don't need to thank me, you've earned it." "So when do I get to start?" "Right now." "With time travel, there is no learning like doing." "Right?" "Agh!" "Oh!" "Erica!" "Oh my God." "So bad." "Um..." "Whipped cream..." "In my chest hair." "Only David gets to do that." "Agh!" "I can't believe that I just did that." "I..." "I can undo it..." "And I will, right now." "What are you talking about?" "Vvvvooh!" "Um..." "I'm just gonna try that again." "Good idea." "Ooh, Ivan." "Okay!" "We really need to put a clear window in that doorway before there's a disaster." "Definitely." "She's on me?" "We can do better me?" "the person who taught her everything she knows about publishing." "I mean, that is just wretched coming for her." "Jules..." "Jules, maybe we should just mind-meld a new idea." "No, maybe, maybe I should give that little chick a piece of my mind!" "I'm a partner." "I'm not her subordinate." "I mean, I'm not gonna be dismissed this way." "I have a very large bone to pick with you." "Whoa." "Julianne." "You floated into the office, you stop all of our ideas, you treated me like I'm your employee..." " No, I wasn't." " Newsflash." "our company is called 50/50 because it's our company." "Our, we're partners." " Do we have to do this here?" " No, you don't." "Here's the deal, dear." "Either you come up with something "brill"" "or you stand down and you support us." "Julianne, can we please talk about this in private?" "Because I refuse to waste my tingly feeling on you and your Debbie Downer impersonation." "Stop!" "Oh my God." "How cool is that." "Hey." "My Gosh." "Iv..." "Ivan." "Oh my God." "Ok." "That's enough though." "Okay, Uhm..." "Hello." "pull up your tight..." "rolled up... sleeves." "Oh!" "What's going on?" "Why is everyone..." " frozen?" " I did it." "Well stop it, flashmobs freak me out." "Enough you people." "Julianne, hey, this is..." "it is, it is no flashmob" "I really, I-I did this." "How?" "I'm a time-traveller." "I know." "Oh my God it feels so good to finally say it!" "I mean, look I-I..." "I can manipulate time and space." "I mean I'm still learning to and it's been this huge secret in my life and only Kai and Adam know, because they're time-travellers too." "I mean, technically Kai he's from the future..." "I'm getting sweaty." "I know, I know, it is a lot to take in." "But, come on, here." "Let me show you." " Oh." "Look Check it out." " Ahh!" "Watch this." "Kazaam!" " My apartment." " I'm dreaming." "This is not real." "No, it is, Jules." "I-I can take us anywhere and any point in time today." "I'm feeling a little sick." "Yeah, I-I have a therapist." "He's name is Dr. Tom." "and he can move me trough time and space." "OK." "Why can't I wake up?" "Shoot!" "I can just take you to him." " Hang on." " No, no, no, no, no." "Ta-daa!" "This is Dr. Tom." "Hello, Julianne." " Oh God." " Are you all right?" "It's a pleasure to finally meet you." "Oh, Doctor, I think I'm gonna be sick in my dream." "Oh wait, Julianne..." "Where did you... send her?" "Back to Goblins." "Before she confronted you." "Thankfully she won't recall the trauma of this" " little adventure." " Right." "Is just..." "I mean, you did say to do whatever comes naturally and I've been dying to tell someone." "Yeah." "Yeah." "It's all right." "But now that you had your fun, maybe you should..." " Not play so rough?" " Yeah." ""With great power comes a great responsibility"" "Did you just quote Spiderman?" "I believe I did." "Yes." "OK." "So... the problem is that I.." "I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing with this powers." "I told you, this exercise is a part of your training." "Getting the opportunity to... test out your tools, to... see where they take you, to see what you do with them." "That's the point." "What if I try redoing a regret?" "I mean, my regret." "What if you do?" "I can do that, right?" "As long as the regret happened today?" "Right." "What's the regret?" "Well... the way that I handled the news about" "Adam quitting school, I just, I attacked him, so..." " of course he wouldn't listen to me." " So you think that if you approached him in a different way with your concerns, that you could get him to change his mind?" "Well if I make my cues more subtly didn't get his back up, then, then maybe he could hear what I'm really saying." "It's your power Erica to do with as your wish." "Okay." "Here goes nothing." " Oh!" " Erica!" "I'm zipping your back." " I'm such a klutz." " Right." "Adam?" "We should... we should... take a vacation this Summer." "Like go to a cottage?" "A little bit of romance in the woods, so yeah." "Well, we could, but I was..." "I was thinking more..." "Dublin?" "Mm-hm." "Well, it's nice in September." "It's even better in August, because you can be you can be back at school in September." "Actually," "I don't think that's gonna be a problem." "Oh, no?" "Why?" "Well, there's an opening for a foreman." "There will be a big step in terms of pay and responsibility, and Desmond thinks I'm perfect for the job." "But then you can't have both." "So something's gotta give." " Exactly." " Mmmm." "That's a tough one." "Well, what if you told Desmond that you're only half into your program and, and see if he can save the promotion until the end of the next Summer." "And in that way, he has you and your education at his disposal." "I mean, really... it's win-win." "Erica, Desmond is not gonna wait." "But you don't now that." "And even if he doesn't" "I mean, in a couple of months you're gonna have your diploma, Adam." "And you can have any job, you could start your own company." "And then you could have more options, more freedom." "And that's what really matters to you, right?" " Erica." " Adam, you're making a decision now that will affect your future, and I'm sure that, you... you wanna think it through." "I have thought it through." "And I wanna take the job." "You thought it through." " Really." " Yeah!" "It's my career, my decision, Erica" "Ok, why are you getting upset?" "Because... you're pressuring me into doing what you want me to do." "Stop being so controlling!" "Stop making my decisions for me!" "Because you never do that to me?" "Deciding who I can and can't be friends with?" " Argh!" " What?" "Can we please finish one fight before jumping back to a previous one?" "Oh, here we go!" "You just, you're just gonna walk out again!" "I have to go to work." "When we argue in the morning, I have to walk out." "Oh, hey, Erica, I've done another pass on my wedding speech, I... don't suppose there's any chance you can take a look at it for me." "Uhm... sure, just..." "just not right now, Okay?" "Hey." "Hey you." " Everything ok?" " No." "Everything is not okay, because Adam is being ridiculous!" "He doesn't want us, you and me to be friends." "and then he accuses me of being controlling." "Uhm." "Sorry, I didn't come here to unload on you." " Just..." " That's fine if you wanna talk." "No, thank you." "Anyway... what are you working on?" "Rewriting a song for the album." "Well play it for me." "Here?" "Come with me." "Bring your guitar." " Where are we going?" " Just come." "Whoa." "Pretty cool, uh?" "You did that?" "Doctor training." "Comes with some perks." "Ok." "Sit right here, and..." " play it on me." " Okay." "Okay."

" Kai what are we doing?" " I know what I'm doing." "I still have feelings for you, Erica." "and the fact that you're struggling with Adam, the fact that you're here." "That tells me that maybe you do too." "Oh, Erica, hey, I've done another pass on my wedding speech," "I don't suppose there's any chance you can take a look at it for me." "Oh, yeah, I'd love to." "Hi." "I don't want to fight." "I was just getting my dukes up." "Well, you can, um..." "You can get your dukes up to open this." "So events have conspired to get us to Dublin a little faster than anticipated." "What're you up to?" " Oops!" "Sorry." " Sorry, lad." "He was from Dublin." "We're in Dublin!" "How did we...?" "Uh..." "Doctor training!" "Dr. Tom, he gave me this 24-hour time/space transporter thingy pass!" "You did this?" "But listen, okay, we only have a couple hours." "So what do you wanna do?" "Do you wanna do a walking tour of the city?" "Or we can hit the shops on Grafton street and everything that we bring back, it's duty free." "Okay, this way."

"Bacon, cabbage and mashed potato." "I grew up on that." "Sounds kinda gross when you say it, but it's actually delicious." "You know, this is something I'm always gonna remember." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Hard work, isn't it?" "This being happy business." "Oh." ""We have no more right to consume happiness"" "without producing it..." ""Than to consume wealth without producing it."" "George Bernard Shaw." "Dr. Tom use that one on you too?" "Yeah." "The only reason I remember is 'cause Shaw's an Irishman." "What?" "Just wondering, you know, happiness." "What does that really mean for you?" "A pint of Guinness in the old country." "Okay, well, there's that." "But, like, five years from now, where do you see yourself?" "I don't know." "With you... probably." "Okay, but..." "I mean, who is Adam Fitzpatrick in 2016?" "Where's he living?" "What's he doing?" "I don't know." "What, you've never thought about it?" "You can't help yourself, can you?" " Help myself how?" " This." "In five years from now, where do you see yourself?" "It's just a variation on the talk we had earlier today." "Look, Adam, I was just interested." "Erica, if I'm the person you wanna be with, stop steering me." "You know what?" "I don't know what I can and can't say around you anymore." "Well, it's simple." "You can't say anything that has anything to do with you figuring out my life for me." "I'm not going back to school, okay?" "End of discussion." "Okay, Mr. Snarky Pants," "I don't hear you coming up with any ideas." "Okay, wait." "Seriously, blank slate." " Are you ready?" " Okay, hang on." "Ready." "Are you ready?" "Ready." "Home spa." "Ew." "No." "Yes, yes." "People spend thousands of dollars a year on... on hairstyles, on manicures and pedicures." "We do "how to" at home." "You want people to cut their own hair?" "How Britney circa 2007." "Mmm." "Millions of people wanna cut their own hair, Brent." "Don't be a snob." "Okay, so home spa's." "What, like, get bowl, put bowl on head, clip mullet?" "I'll have you know I can cut hair." "You can cut hair?" "Uh-huh." "I may have even, um, taken a course or two here or there." "Well, that was fun." "I'm going to bed." "Adam." "What?" "Look, I'm not gonna be able to sleep unless we talk." "The last thing I wanna do right now is talk." "It's just gonna lead to another fight." "Well, it doesn't have to, if you didn't act like it was the end of the world every time I asked you a question." "I'm going home." "Adam." "And to be honest, Erica," "I don't know when I'm coming back." "What does that mean?" "I can't do anything right." "You wanna control my each and every move, and I..." "I'm suffocating." "I'm done, Erica." "I need a break from you, from this relationship." "Julianne I've no idea you wield those shears like Edward Scissorhands" "Well, we all have our secrets, Mr. Undercover-salsa-dancer." "Um, this one middle." "So do you think there is a book in home spa?" "Er, Uhm." "I'm not sure." "Ohh!" "What?" "What?" "No, no." "'Cause you flinched and so I..." "I cut your collar." "This is a Varvatos." "I'm sorry." "I am." "I am so sorry." "Couldn't you have aimed for my ear instead?" "Well, you look very good." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "All right." "I feel good." "Come dance with me." "Oh, no." "No, no." "Ok." "I..." "Ready?" "One, two, three... five six seven." "One, two, three... five six seven." "Quick, quick, slow." "Very good." "That was awesome brainstorming" "Yeah." "Awesome." "Well, uh... we we will just... take care of this tomorrow, right?" "Great." "Adam broke up with me." "I know." "Well... this whole day has been a disaster and it's my fault." "Mmmm." "Erica." "It's like I kept pushing every conversation in the wrong way" "And I just..." "I mean, I just couldn't make myself stop." "You can't make yourself stop if you don't realize what it is you doing in the first place." "You know, maybe this is not about the conversations, you keep having." "Maybe this is about what's driving them." "I know what to do." "I need to go back while I still have time and just start over." "I just... need to start this whole day over from the beginning and just... accept what Adam wants to do" "I just need to let him make this decision." "Right?" "Because relationships they're about compromise, right?" "and I just... need to let go this, and compromise and in that way we'll have a good day and... he won't break up with me." "Erica, this therapy has never been about undoing the past in order to fix the present, you know that." "No, I know that Dr. Tom, but I'm not undoing the past" "I'm just undoing what I did wrong this morning." "I'm just fixing me, and I need to hurry up because I don't have a lot of time to do it" "I mean, what do you always say?" "You always say that we learn by doing, right?" "Well, I learned the hard way that the way I was handling things with Adam was wrong, and now, I need to make it right." "We learn by doing." "There is no other way." "Erica?" "You were saying about wanting to get away for the Summer?" "Uhm, yeah..." "Actually I was..." "I was thinking about Dublin." " Dublin?" " Mm-Hm." "I mean, we could steal a week in August and you could be my own private tour guy." "What do you think?" "I say yeah, a big yeah to Dublin - in September." "But, doesn't school start... in September?" "Actually, there's a foreman job opening up." "Pays great, and I'll get management experience, but it means putting school on hold for now." "Well, if that is what you wanna do." "Then I support you." "Hundred percent." "Really?" "Absolutely." "I'll be in charge of all the biggest Duncan Collins projects and the raise I guess." "I think I can get you out for dinner once a while." "You don't have to sell me." "If you're happy, then I'm happy for you." "Wow." "To be honest Erica, I thought..." "What?" "Well I was worried that you would find this hard to deal with." "You know, me leaving the school." "Considered it a step backwards or something?" "Maybe it would be for me, but" "I'm not you." "Wow." "It's kind of..." "It's kind of a shame you have to get dressed." "Tragic." "I thought that you had to go to work." "I can be a few minutes late." "Oh, Ray-Ray, will you make me another one of those Tetley infusions for my pitcheroo?" "I'm on it." "Good morning!" "Erica!" "Oh, whoa." "Hey." "I know that look." "You've..." "You've got a pitch." "Okay, stand right there." "No, sit." "Should she sit or stand?" "She should sit." "You know what?" "I think that I would rather keep on my toes." "Okay." "Erica?" " Yes." " When you're online, do you ever wonder WTF all these PPLs are LMAOing about?" "Um, I usually tell them to SSIA." "Stop speaking in acronyms!" "I'm joking." "Go ahead, you're very excited." "Okay, it's a handbook..." "An "HB", IMO." "Yes, an HB of textiquette, netspeak, and tips on communication for both insiders and newbs." "Okay, so it's about clarification." "It is practical." "It's useful, but it's silly." "No." "Not with you two in charge." "Your iced elixir, m'lady." "Thanks." "Oh, and Ray-Ray actually came up with a really good idea for the title." "Oh!" ""On the Origin of Speech-ease."" "You know, like" "Charles Darwin." "The Evolution of Language." "That's cute." "Listen, I think that you guys, you should just run with it and" "I'll step in a day or two as an outside eye and we'll see what we got, 'kay?" "Okay, Kennedy, you clear your dance card because tonight you and me?" "We are brainstorming!" "Tonight, I have dance lessons." "Well, you can practice on me." "Rachel, we're gonna need some felt pens, some file cards..." "Take-out sush." "Check, check, check!" "Uh, would you like me to stay late and help you?" "No." "Okay, let's start with the sush." "Yes." "Hi." "That smell!" "It's Irish comfort food." "Bacon, cabbage, and mashed potatoes." "Erica, that's incredible." "Where'd you learn that?" "It's Dublin night." "Oh, and um..." "Ah..." "Football." "Oh, we got it all." "Except I couldn't bring myself to make your favourite dish:" "Blood pudding." "And you think Jews are weird for eating gefilte fish?" " Really?" " No worries." "But how did you know blood pudding was my favourite?" "I don't know, I guess you must've told me." "Anyways, um, dinner's almost ready." "So why don't you..." "have a seat." "Okay." "Would like a pint of Guinness?" "Yeah." "Sure." "Okay." "Erica, is there something you're not telling me?" "No." "Not at all." "Adam, please, stop staring at me like I did something wrong." "Well, is it therapy related?" "'Cause if it is, I wanna know." "No." "You know what?" "It's nothing." "Let's just..." "Let's just eat dinner and watch the game." "If it's nothing, tell me." "What is going on?" "Okay." "We started off today with a terrible fight." "Well, not this day, a different day, with different results." "Dr. Tom, he gave me limited time-travelling powers." "Wait..." "You erased my day?" "No." "Ours." "I was trying to make things right for us, and I did." "I mean, you're gonna take the job and I'm happy for you now." "You erased my day and you lied about it?" "How could you do that?" "Wait." "Adam?" "Adam?" "Please, just..." "Just hear me out, okay?" "We... we were on the verge of breaking up because of my actions." "So I started the day over to change me." "Not you." "What, what about my say in my own life?" "I can't believe this." "I can't believe you!" "Now..." "I can't trust you." "No, Adam." "Adam..." "Adam, Adam..." "Just please, please..." "Whatever happened in my original day," "I bet we could've worked it out." "It might've been messy, but it would've been honest." "Now this?" "Us?" "We're fiction." "No, Adam." "Adam, we're not." "Look, I just wanted to make things okay, you know?" "I just wanted to let you make your own choices, and I just wanted to stop being so controlling." "And so you did the most controlling thing you've ever done." "You took away my free will." "And that you can't undo, you can't fix." "Please..." "With great power comes great responsibility." "Why?" "Because power is an illusion." "The desire to yield that is weakness, an exercise in ego." "And the fact is that all you really hold when you hold power, is all the rope you need to hang yourself."
