"What if he finds out we've turned his investment into a whorehouse?" "Taylor, you got married!" "I'm now Madame Taylor Townsend de Momourant." "I Just found out that Henri-Michel, that's my French husband." "He's coming to Newport." "Thank you for meeting me, but my break is almost over." "l couldn't wait. I got you something." "What's the occasion?" "valentine's Day." "Which is three weeks away." "Yes, but when you have the perfect present for someone, you can't wait to give it them." "Sure." "That's what I have." "Really?" "Yes, the perfect present." "Okay, sit here." "l'm excited." "Okay." "All right." "Okay, okay, okay." "lt's a--?" "lt's a scrapbook." "About me and you." "So, this is the letter that you had to sign for the French lawyer." "Right." "The receipt for the George Foreman Grill." "is that a picture of me?" "Yeah. I take pictures of you when you're not looking." "That's a picture of you coming out of the bathroom." "There's one of you finishing a hot dog." "Okay." "l had no idea I was under surveillance." "Clocking your every move." "That's great." "That's Just...." "The hospital bracelets from Chrismukkah." "Oh, yeah, I saved them. ls that too much?" "lt is. lt's too much." "No." "No, no, no."

"So you're really going to Seattle?" "You wanna marry a girl, got to ask her father's permission." "lt's the polite thing." "Except you don't wanna get married..." "...which you could still tell her, you know." "Not a chance." "You'll walk down the aisle because neither is willing to back down?" "That's where Dr. Roberts comes in." "He rejects me, this game ends." "l don't have to be the bad guy." "You positive he'll say no?" "I thought you bonded before he left." "There was some golf watching." "There may have been sandwich eating." "Deep down inside, he still sees me as the skinny boy trying to seduce his daughter." "l need to remind him of that." "Good luck getting rejected." "Fortunately, it's something I excel at." "Taylor." "Ryan, can I talk to you for Just a second?" "Yeah, sure. ls anything wrong?" "Oh, no." "Well, nothing big." "Teensy little thing." "Michiko Kakutami called it a sexual epic, which I think is a real stretch." "It's been banned in Texas so we don't have to worry there." "I debated even telling you about this." "But you know my policy: full disclosure." "So how are you?" "Okay?" "Your ex-husband wrote this about you." "A novel, not a memoir." "Big difference." "Ask James Frey." "It's Just that things between us have been so good lately and I wouldn't want one silly erotic novel to change all that." "So I'm gonna ask you a favor:" "Please don't read it." "l've never read a romance novel before." "Shocker." "And I'm not gonna start now." "Thank you." "I'm gonna put this away now and we will never have to talk about it again." "Until the movie comes out." "Right." "Like they could make a movie about that." "Maybe on DvD at the adult video store." "Bye." "Yes." "Yes." "No." "What are the numbers on this guy?" "Six feet, 1 90, 1 8 percent body fat." "Nope." "No good." "You know Mrs. Jacobsen." "She likes her boys straight out of Muscle Beach." "Okay, these two should do." "Tell her she can have either at 2500, gratuity not included." "Here comes Kirsten." "Go, get out of here, thank you." "Hi, Kiki." "Hello, Spencer." "How's your dad?" "Good." "Still in Dubai buying a fleet of limos or maybe they were camels." "Can't remember." "See you." "What's he doing here?" "He was helping me move some furniture." "Everything looks the same." "lt looked terrible. I had him move it back." "Would you like me to help you return--?" "l got it." "Better get this." "Work, work, work." "Oh, and thanks for the coffee." "Hello, Julie Cooper." "Morning." "Hey." "What do you think of updos?" "You reading Modern Bride?" "Seth is on his way to Seattle to ask my dad if he can marry me." "So here comes the bride, I guess." "Do you realixe what you're doing?" "You're about to enter a doomed marriage." "I don't know." "Seth seems really committed." "I might marry him some day." "There's no point in waiting." "So living with me and the story of my divorce has taught you nothing?" "You married some French dude you knew for nine seconds. lt's different." "Okay, I see I need to get more into your wheelhouse if I'm gonna drive this home." "What about Holly?" "From high school?" "She got married last summer." "Call her." "She could give you a preview of life as a wife." "Fine, can we drop it?" "Fine." "A Season for Peaches?" "You know, I'm reading this." "This is dirty." "Excuse me, the girl Just has a healthy sex drive." "Yeah, for a hooker." "Would you Just give me that?" "Thank you." "She was Just young and confused, okay?" "Can I get you need anything else?" "No, I'm good." "lt's not a library, you know." "Hey, Ryan." "How are you today?" "Let's see, what am I gonna have?" "Two shrimp tacos, Luis." "Hola, Senor Cohen!" "Luis, how are you today?" "Good." "I tell you, ever since you started working here, it's revolutionixed my lunch hour." "Kirsten's reading that." "Let me tell you." "Yeah." "There is one part" "Page 47." "Man, was that hot!" "And in public. I thought Peaches was gonna get arrested." "lt's Taylor." "Who's Taylor?" "Her." "The book." "Peaches." "You know her?" "What are you talking about?" "It's about a girl from California, who's...." "Yeah." "Wow." "So have you read it?" "No, and I'm not about to start." "Can I get you anything else?" "No." "No, I'm good." "Maybe a glass of water." "Great." "l don't see how they fit in the voting boxes." "Come on." "These women sacrificed so you could vote." "Well, maybe they should've sacrificed some cheeseburgers." "I'm kidding." "Just ask me some questions." "What happened in 1 848?" "The first Women's Rights Convention." "And?" "Elixabeth Cady Stanton read the Declaration of Sentiments which proclaimed that men and women are created equal." "All right, that's good." "That was awesome." "I'm gonna rock that test." "Thanks to you for helping me study." "All right, I'll see you in class." "Wait." "What are you doing tomorrow night?" "You asking me out?" "Are you saying yes?" "You go first." "Okay." "You're cordially invited to hang out at my house." "With me." "I accept your invitation." "Nice book, professor." "Yeah, professor." "Really funny, guys. I'll see you later." "Man, that guy is, like, the professor of dorkonomics." "He should teach Dorkology 1 01 ." "He's not even a dork." "He doesn't surf and he doesn't play water polo." "Yeah, ergo dork-o." "Do you like him?" "You shut up before I vomit on you." "Dude, check out this chick's hair." "Oh, gruesome." "Oh, my God." "Look how ripped my arms are." "l'm so sorry I missed your wedding." "You dropped off the radar when you started dating Seth." "Yeah." "When you were engaged, were you sure that you wanted to get married?" "Oh, my God, totally, bitch." "You are gonna love being a wife." "You work out in the morning meet the girls for lunch, and then we shop all day." "So there's, like, a whole crew of you guys?" "We call ourselves the Newpsieweds." "Can you even handle how cute that is?" "Well, you better." "Because you're meeting us all at lunch tomorrow." "Yeah." "It'd be nice to have a bunch of friends again." "Oh, my God." "Look what I Just did." "So cute, I wanna barf." "Hi, Mom." "No." "Hi, Mom." "No." "Bad idea." "Reading's over." "If you want your book signed, author's here." "l'm sorry?" "You may have to wait in line." "Oh, that won't be necessary." "Now, who shall I make it out to?" "A girlfriend perhaps?" "What is her name?" "Taylor." "Ryan, you in there?" "You know, I called you at work last night." "And then, at home, but I guess you must have been really tired." "Oh, no." "Hey." "Did you read it?" "Yeah." "All of it?" "But I thought you said you" "Met your ex-husband last night." "He was at the bookstore, doing a reading." "You met Henri-Michel?" "How did you know it was him?" "Dirty hair, scarf, smells like Brie?" "That's Henri-Michel." "l can't believe this." "You read every page?" "Page 47, yeah." "Okay, Ryan, even if I was that limber, you'd know I would never do that in the Chunnel." "I get that it's not true and, you know, I'm sorry that I read it after I promised I wouldn't." "But seeing the guy in the flesh...." "Where does this leave us?" "You can't even look me in the eyes." "So that's not a great sign." "I don't know. I...." "l gotta shower and get to work." "So you liking it up here?" "Seriously?" "Seriously." "l love it." "It's good to see you, Seth." "Good, because what I wanted to talk to you about is actually kind of a big deal." "l thought we were gonna play golf." "l'm actually up here for something else." "Okay." "Step into my office." "What's on your mind?" "Oh, you know, Just thinking about marrying your daughter." "You wanna marry Summer?" "Marry, tie the knot, get hitched." "Whatever the kids are calling it these days." "Why would you wanna do such a thing?" "Well, the median age of married couples is getting increasingly higher so Summer and I have decided to buck the trend." "When the world xigs, we're gonna xag." "That's your reason?" "Yes, the xig and the xag, so-- Yeah, pretty much." "Well, let's back up." "Do you love my daughter?" "Well, she's cool, right?" "And she's pretty easy on the eyes." "She's pregnant, isn't she?" "No." "We thought for a second, but thank God we dodged that bullet, so no." "Yes?" "Be right there." "I've gotta go." "There's a man who's been impaled by what appears to be a unicorn." "Unicorns." "Our conversation will continue." "We'll talk about this on my rounds tomorrow." "Does this mean I have your blessing?" "They do exist." "Henri?" "Too late. lt's gone." "Henri, it's me." "Peaches, you have come." "l see I am in the doghouse." "Henri, these places come with bathtubs." "Bathing is for the bourgeois." "Now tell me, Peaches, how have I offended you?" "It wasn't enough that you had to write a book, you had to come to my home too?" "You think I want to be here?" "This constant sunshine is so banal." "Look at them down there." "So clean, so passionless." "No, I am only here to promote my book." "Good, because if you think this trip of yours is gonna send me scurrying back to France" "No, no." "As they say in your country, that ship has sailed." "I see though, that I still have the power to disturb you, yes?" "What?" "No, no, no." "Stop that." "I Just came here to tell you something." "I'm with someone now." "I met him last night." "He seemed to roll with it, as you say." "Yeah, well, he didn't." "If I lose him because of your stupid book...." "Oh, Peaches." "Peaches, I cannot stand to see you sad." "What if he really got to know me?" "He would see that I am not nearly as threatening as the fireball of passion he knows from the page." "And that I have no intention of stealing back my Peaches." "Though they are looking ripe today." "Hey, up here." "So okay, what are you saying there?" "What, the three of us should go on a date?" "Peaches, I know I wronged you by writing this book." "Let me repay this debt by mending the rift with you and your corn-fed farm boy." "Now don't move." "The light." "I apologixe about the last guy." "This one will have his back waxed." "I promise." "Two cases of toner will be fine." "Thanks." "Copy machine's acting up again." "lt was working five minutes ago." "That's what's so frustrating." "Julie, we need to talk." "Ever since Bullit's New Year's Eve party when our clients wound up with those young guys" "How funny was that?" "You've been Jumpy and" "Overworked, because that's all it is." "l really love my Job." "l know you do." "Which is why I don't wanna see you Jeopardixe it." "I gotta get that." "NewMatch, Julie Cooper speaking." "Hi." "Yes." "Yes, of course." "Okay." "I'll see you." "Bye." "That was my lunch date." "I'm sorry, we'll have to talk later." "I'll see you, okay?" "Hi, baby." "Okay." "Ready, Pancakes?" "Summer, you came." "Hi, I hope I'm wearing the right clothes." "You're not." "You are way too cute." "Hold on right here and I'll introduce you to the girls." "Hoes, this is Summer Roberts." "She Just got engaged." "Nice to meet you too." "Summer, this is Brynn, and this is Lixa." "Oh, you're Just in time for a toast." "To the newest Newpsiewed, Summer Roberts." "Thanks." "Bottoms up." "Hey, listen to this part." ""l hoisted her onto the stack of hay..." "...and manfully--"" "Listen, buddy, there's a" "Come on, Taylor, you can do this." "He likes you, you like him." "He doesn't think you're a big, fat divorcee whore." "Hey." "Hi." "I was Just trying to decide between a burrito or a taco." "Big decision." "You weren't psyching up to talk to me?" "No, of course not." "Yeah, kind of." "Taylor, look, it's fine, all right?" "I'll get over it." "Really?" "Yeah, I Just need some time." "Well, there's something that might help speed the healing process." "Cheers, ladies." "Seriously I am so using the champagne fountain." "What about your colors?" "Have you decided?" "No, that's what we're gonna be doing at my house tomorrow night." "Am I right, bitches?" "But seriously, they feel Just like real boobs." "Let's cheers to that." "Let's go to the bathroom later and I'll totally show you." "You know what?" "I am so down for that Juice fast." "I told Brent that for Christmas all I want is an African baby." "African babies." "l love them." "Where's the waiter?" "I need me more champy." "Hey, mama needs some more bubbly." "How can I help you, ma'am?" "Che?" "Did you need something?" "She wants some more champs, yo:" "Summer, are you okay?" "Just bring on the bubbly." "Cheers to new boobs." "And the best part is, these cops, they really are this stupid." "You really wanna watch this?" "Are you kidding?" "It's my favorite show." "You can't make this stuff up." "Kaitlin, have you seen my cell--?" "Oh, I didn't know you had a friend over." "Mom, Will." "Will, this is my mother." "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cooper." "Nice to meet you." "I wish I could stay and talk, but I'm gonna look for my phone at the office." "You two look cute together." "Mom" "enjoy your date." "Have fun." "lt's not a date." "Why did you say it wasn't a date?" "lt's not like dinner and a movie." "We Just had dinner, and after this show goes off, we can watch a movie." "You got me there." "If this is how you act with your mom, how you gonna act at school?" "Let's Just watch the show." "That cop, he Just drove a car into a meth lab." "That's hilarious." "l didn't think it was that funny." "Well, maybe it's because you're not high." "Do you wanna smoke up?" "I think I'm gonna go." "I thought the way you are at school was all an act." "What are you saying?" "I guess I was wrong." "And then Levy publishes an inane article accusing me of being a poststructuralist." "Talk about the pot calling the kettle black." "Am I right?" "So, what are your plans in Newport?" "Well, I have been searching for even a nibble of culture." "I think I must give up." "I only have one more commitment before I leave." "Tomorrow, I appear on your favorite show:" "Je Pense." "Wait, Je Pense is coming to Newport?" "Well, what is Je Pense?" "It's this literary talk show." "It's kind of like a French Charlie Rose, but with less interrupting." "They wished to do a field piece on the city that gave birth to Peaches." "lf you would appear" "Oh, no, no, Henri." "I said the last time was my farewell appearance." ""The last time"?" "You used to go on a French talk show?" "Just a handful of times though." "My favorite had to be that one round table we had on Anas Nin's bisexuality." "Things got heated." "Oh, that reminds me." "My publisher wants to do a translation of Nin's erotic poetry." "Of course, I recommended you." "You" " Me, seriously?" "Of course." "Don't you think Taylor would be an inspired choice?" "I don't-- l don't know Nin's poetry." "People say it's pornography." "But it is really Just deeply, deeply sexual." "And Taylor understands Nin like no other." "What was that poem you translated to amuse yourself?" "And the day came where the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." "Well, I'm exhausted." "Could you give Taylor a ride home?" "Great." "Good night." "Ryan?" "Ryan." "Wait." "Ryan, what's wrong?" "Nothing, it's Just...." "We been in there four hours?" "First course, second course, cheese course." "And you couldn't stop imagining it, right?" "Me with him, page 47?" "Ryan, I thought you said you were okay with this." "I guess I'm not." "l'm sorry." "Ryan." "Ryan." "Hey, I'm gonna be in court all day so don't bother holding those shrimp tacos for me." "Tell me you are not reading that book about Taylor." "French philosophy at 7 in the morning?" "Okay, I'll bite." "I read the book." "Taylor's book." "So you must be feeling...?" "l'm not freaked out." "Even page 47?" "No." "No. I mean, I was." "Right?" "But then last night, we went out with her ex." "And, you know, it was all art and philosophy." "How she used to go on that French talk show." "That part where she goes out with Jacques Chirac?" "That's actually true." "You're thinking:" ""How can this kid from Chino be hanging with that crowd?"" "Pretty much." "Well, listen." "I don't know about the French intellectuals, but I do know Taylor Townsend." "And it seems to me she thinks you are pretty terrific." "So Just talk to her." "Or you can sit here reading your Sartre." "l'll talk to her." "Good." "Hey, you know who else the French love?" "Jerry Lewis." "Really?" "Hey, lady!" "Goodbye!" "Hey, babe, how was your date last night?" "I already told you, it wasn't a date." "Well, why not?" "Will seems nice, and very cute." "What, he is...." "He's a major dork." "You like him." "No, I don't." "Oh, my God." "You really, really like him." "Oh, my God." "No, I don't." "He's dorkalicious." "Stop it." "You want his dorky arms wrapped around you while he gives you kisses." "Mom, I'm your child." "Sorry." "And even if I did like him, which I don't, it doesn't matter." "Because I screwed up and he doesn't like me anyway." "Whatever it is you did, I'm sure you'll fix it." "At the very least, you have to try." "What are you doing anyway?" "My cell phone wasn't at the office." "So you think it's in the frying pans?" "l've checked everywhere else and I need it." "Okay." "Hello, I'm calling for Julie Cooper. I'm Just confirming the details of your date tonight." "That's right." "Four Seasons, Room 321 ." "I'm sorry, Mrs. Jacobsen, 8:00 isn't gonna work." "We're gonna have to reschedule." "Thank you." "Taylor?" "You don't wanna come in here." "l'm reenacting page 1 1 2." "Look I'm sorry, okay?" "I wasn't freaked out about the sex, Just so you know. lt was the you know all those people you were talking about." "The writers, the philosophers, people I'd never even heard of." "I Just thought I was out of my league." "I Just-- l didn't grow up going to the opera or reading French poetry." "Ryan, you're Just as smart as Henri-Michel." "And I don't want you to be anyone else than who you are." "Thank you." "God, I wish I hadn't said yes." "What?" "What'd you say yes to?" "I agreed to go on Je Pense tonight." "You know, I can cancel" "No, I want you to be who you are." "In fact, I'd like to come." "Okay." "Yeah, sure." "Yeah?" "I have a few minutes before I have to get to work." "All that talk about page 1 1 2" "Kaitlin's downstairs." "My impression of the vicar is very quiet." "Really?" "Don't" " Don't-- -lt's really" " You won't even hear it." "So, what was the deal with that unicorn?" "Well, it seems a guy dressed his horse up as a unicorn for his daughter's birthday and things went terribly awry." "But it taught us all about the value of family." "And speaking of family, have you decided to bless our sacred union?" "I've thought about your proposal, Seth, and seriously I can't." "It's not because I dislike you, Seth." "I don't think that you really appreciate Summer." "What?" "Look, Dr. Roberts, with all due respect, you have a lot of grounds with which to object to this admittedly harebrained idea." "But if there's one thing that is undeniable, it's that I appreciate your daughter." "As you made clear yesterday when you called her kind of cool and easy on the eyes." "You gotta do better than that." "Well, she's hilarious for one." "My favorite thing is to make her laugh because she has a craxy honk of a laugh that's like Nelson from The Simpsons." "She does have a contagious laugh." "l'd stop before I say she makes me a better man, but she makes me more of a man." "Or certainly less of a boy." "I love every minute I spend with your daughter. I really do." "So this wasn't some goof?" "You really wanna spend the rest of your life with her?" "I do." "Seriously." "Then come talk to me after you finish college and you got a chance at supporting her." "I gotta go." "Have a safe flight." "Brent and I were like:" ""We don't wanna kill the endangered owls that live under our deck."" "But I really want a Jacuxxi." "Oh, girl, you got to get your hot tub." "Right?" "Yeah." "Owls...." "But I really want a new ring because after they made yours" "What are you supposed to be, my conscience?" "Maybe. ls this what you really want?" "Yes, it is." "Someone's had too much champy." "Summer's talking to herself." "l know exactly what'll snap her out of it." "Oh, my God, your dress." "l know." "I thought you could try it on." "I was anorexic when I wore it, not to brag." "Oh, good for you." "Here." "Thanks." "You better not watch me change." "Hi." "So you're the friend of Mademoiselle Townsend?" "Yes, yes." "What's happening?" "Yeah." "They started talking about A Season for Peaches." "And now, somehow they are into Existentialism of the 21 st century the responsibility of the postcolonial age, Johnny Depp." "Amaxing." "I like it, and I think it looks good." "As far as prisons go, it's very beautiful." "Look, Seth is asking my dad, okay?" "This wedding is happening." "So I need to make the best of it." "Will you please stop trying to rescue me?" "The only person who can save you, Summer, is you." "Okay, A, you look 1 0 times better than Holly B, don't tell her that and C, we have the most rocked-out idea for your ring bearer." "Who's my ring bearer?" "What a cute little bunny you are." "So cute." "Pancakes." "Check it, Summer." "We realixed that we can totally dye your bunny pink so that he'll match the bridesmaids' dresses." "Isn't that so adorable you Just wanna kill yourself?" "But we're Just gonna do a test run right now." "Aren't we, Waffles?" "Yes, we are." "Okay." "Pancakes." "His name is Pancakes." "Bitch, what's wrong?" "Everything." "Good night, Je Pense." "You were amaxing." "Thank you." "l'll say goodbye, then be right back." "Okay." "Okay." "All right." "And, Ryan?" "What did you think?" "You guys were great." "Not that I understood a word of it." "We are going to celebrate with pinot noir." "I'd love to pick your brain on David Hume." "Sounds great." "Who's David Hume?" "Good question. I'm sure you ask yourself this every day." "Last night after you left, Taylor told me of your studies." "The series of articles you wrote on the origins of Skepticism for the Vienna Journal." "Maybe one day they will be expanded into a book." "After I heard about your research traveling to Hume's personal archive in Edinburgh even I was impressed." "I'm sure you were." "l'm gonna try." "Yeah?" "Can I talk to you a second?" "Yeah." "Excuse me." "Thank you. I couldn't get out of there." "Why did you tell him I was writing a book?" "What?" "You couldn't tell him the truth, that I work at a Mexican restaurant?" "Okay, Ryan, what did you expect me to do?" "Because you said about three words all night, then you Just ran away." "Henri asked me if you were on medication." "You care about his opinion?" "Yes!" "Yes, I do, because I could see him sitting there Judging you and I hated it." "I wanted him to know how smart you were." "Maybe it was wrong." "But this story Just came spilling out of me." "You lied to make me look good, I get that." "But the thing is, I think part of you wishes it were true." "No, Ryan, please." "I Just want you to be yourself." "I don't know." "I think this is what we've known from the beginning." "What?" "What's that?" "We're different." "So, what?" "Everyone's different." "It's what makes the world beautiful, right?" "Okay, Ryan, I'm sorry." "What do you want me to do to make it better?" "I think I should go." "Mrs. Jacobsen?" "Hello?" "Spencer." "No, I didn't get any of your messages." "My cell phone's been mia for two days now." "I'm retracing my steps" "What do you mean Mrs. Jacobsen got canceled on?" "What" "What partner?" "Oh, my God." "Good champagne." "Sure you don't want any?" "No, thank you." "Well, shall we get down to business?" "Actually, Ken I'm new at this." "Could you walk me through it?" "Step one:" "Put the money on the nightstand." "Step two:" "We get nasty or nice, depending on your taste." "I thought Julie told you all the rules?" "She did." "I Just thought...." "Would you excuse me?" "I left some toys in my car." "I'll be right back." "Toys?" "Sweet." "Hey, man, that looks good on you." "I like the red one." "Trust me, that's a woman's coat." "Hey, I Just came to clear a few things up." "l like you." "Okay?" "Okay." "Maybe I messed things up so you can't like me back but I Just wanted you to know that." "You don't" "No, no, I do. lt's Just...." "Stupid winter-clothing drive." "You may not know this but there are homeless people in Newport." "Really?" "Hi, Darryl." "Hi, Bill." "Hey, Kaitlin." "Hey, Kaitlin." "What do you say I give you a call when I leave here?" "Okay." "Just can't believe this winter-clothing drive is salting my game." "Kirsten, I can explain" "That you've been running a prostitution ring through our business?" "It...." "lt Just-- lt Just happened." "There are doxens of names here." "Hercules." "Commander Snake." "Kirsten, I am so sorry, but I promise-- l have known you a long time, Julie." "This isn't Just a matter of cloudy Judgment and questionable morals." "lt's breaking federal law." "l understand." "I do, and I deeply, deeply regret it." "But if we Just quit now, we can act like it never happened." "I wish I could." "I want you out of here by Monday." "Kirsten, please...." "l'm gonna do you one more favor."

"What are you talking about?" "Wait, where are you?" "l'm in my dorm room." "Summer, I've been doing some out-of-body work." "I had a vision of you surrounded by owls in a white dress." "And, Summer, the owls, they were crying for you." "Oh, God." "I'm okay now." "I Just kind of got engaged." "That's amaxing." "I'll weave you guys something ASAP." "Che, I'm so confused." "I don't know what I want." "Summer, in order for two halves to be whole each half must be whole on its own." "That is really true." "l'm gonna sing you a song." "Oh, a man sitting by himself in the dark." "It's not a good sign." "Are you okay?" "l've been better." "I don't know what's going on with me and Taylor." "I think maybe we're Just too different." "You say that like it's a bad thing." "Look at Kirsten and me." "Right." "Well, you know, you guys have your own rhythm." "Well, yeah, but it took years to figure that out." "I love Kirsten dearly, and still it gets complicated." "So how do you know?" "You know, whether you're good different or Just" "From opposite planets?" "Right."

"So I think we should stay engaged." "You know, it doesn't have to be today but someday." "Seth I realixed something too while you were gone." "It turns out I have no idea who I am." "In the past few months I went from being a hard-core environmentalist to a Newpsiewed-in-training." "You were a Newpsie?" "For 48 hours only." "The point is I don't think that you can be with someone until you can be with yourself." "I think it's something I need to figure out." "Well, that's sounds like a...." "l guess it's a no." "I'm sorry." "Well, I think I'm gonna-- -l'm gonna see you tomorrow." "Okay?" "Yes." "Hey." "You should take this because we might need it some day." "Please, don't be sad, Peaches." "Ryan?"
