"Dear Jamie, when we're together," "I feel like we're not in high school, but in our own little Chris-and-Jamie world." "Whether we're watching "Party of Five"" "or practicing our cheers," "I feel like I can just be myself." "Jamie, we've been friends for a really long time, but I want to be more than that." "I don't think so." "Hoping to be your boyfriend." "Sincerely, Chris Brander." "BFF!"

"You feel the same way about me?" "You want a kiss?" "Jamie, I signed your yearbook." "Jamie, I'm opening your gate." "What's up, guys?" "Class of '95." "Hey, what's up, Leon, Trevor?" "Great season." "Great." "I love you." " Hey, guys." " Chris Brander, ladies and gentlemen!" " Happy graduation, Chris." " What's going on?" "I thought it was supposed to be just the four of us." "The Palaminos decided to throw Jamie" " a surprise graduation party." " Oh, that's just great!" " Tonight's the night." " Where is she?" "I think I saw her go in the garage with the football team." " Sweet." " No fear, Chris?" "This is your" " chance to get out of the "friend zone."" " Yeah." "Okay."

" will you sign my yearbook, please?" " Can I do it later, Tim?" "Can I do you later?" "I need a beer!" "I can't believe..." " I went out with him." " You went out with him." "Jinx!" "1-2-3-4-5-6-7, can't say a thing till I say..." "Come in." " Oh, hi." "Hi, Jamie." " Hey, Dusty." "I was hoping I'd find you here." "I didn't know you played guitar." "L-I r-really..." "I really want to be a famous musician." "And, um, I wrote you a song." "He wrote me a song!" "That's so cute." "It's called "Jamie Smiles."" "¶ When Jam... ¶" "Hold on." "¶ When Jamie... ¶" "He's crazy." "¶ When Jamie... ¶" "God damn it!" "Come on, Dusty!" "Dusty, come here." "Maybe you should come back another time when you're..." " Oh, no, I got it." " You can come back and then play it for us later, okay?" " I really..." "I've got it." "It's beautiful." " Yeah." " It is." " Bye, Dusty." "Jesus." "Yeah." "Oh, I almost forgot." "I got you a little something right here." "Okay." "Now I know it's a little dorky, but I had to do it." "So look at it." "Will you put it on for me?" " Now?" " Please, please?" "Put it on." " Okay." "Quickly." " Okay okay okay okay." " I think it's gonna fit." " Yeah." " Let's see." " Okay." " Here we go." " Okay." "It's a little snug." "Oh my God, isn't that so cute?" ""Shakes come and go, but friends are furrr-ever!"" "That's adorable!" "Let's go show my mom." "She'll love it." "Let's go show her." "Come on." " Let's not." "No no." "Come on."

"Listen to this." ""When we're together, I feel"..." " Gimme!" " "Like we're not in high school, but we're" " in our own Chris-and-Jamie little world."" " Tim... okay." "Okay." " "You're my best friend..."" " Please, don't read that." ""But I want to be more than that"?" ""Hoping to be your boyfriend." "Sincerely, Chris Brander, BFF."" "It's a joke!" "That's a joke between me and Jamie!" "Holy shit!" "Check out his shirt!" "Aw, he's gonna cry." "See ya!" "G'bye, fatty!" "Chris!" "Try a salad!" " Chris!" " Leave me alone!" "Don't worry about it." "It happens to everybody." "Chris!" "We need to talk about what you wrote." "Is that really how you feel?" "I don't know." "Maybe." "Why?" "Because that's the nicest thing anyone's ever written me." "It was?" "Yes." "I love you, Chris... like a brother." " We're friends, right?" " For sure!" "You pussy!" "Shut up, Tim!" "Don't you people have anything better to do?" "!" "God!" "Just leave him alone!" "You jerks!" "I'll show you!" "I'll show all of you!" "This town is full of losers and I'm pulling out to win!" "Chris!" "Chris, come back!" " My name is Chris Brander!" " Chris, let's talk!" "You remember that name!" "'Cause I'm gonna be somebody!" "I don't know what to say." "I mean, the sex is good, but I'm a person too." "I mean, I have feelings and needs other than just physical!" "Don't you have anything to say for yourself?" "I think you've pretty much said it all." "You know what?" "This just isn't working out." "Have a great life, 'cause Athena's out!" "I don't know why you just don't take me serious!" "I guess Athena's out." "God, can you believe that?" "I get dumped four days before Christmas." " I saw." " Yeah, and yet, you did nothing." "Technically, that makes you an accomplice." "Guilty as charged." "You know, in some cultures they'd spank you for that." "Oh, I love to travel." " Chris Brander." " I'm Mandy." "Of course you are." "You know, I know a song called "Mandy."" "Oh!" "He shoots, he scores." " Nice, nice!" " Yeah, Brander!" "Great job, Brander!" "You're the bad bunny." "No." "No, that's you." "You're the bad bunny." "Yeah." "Okay, that's enough out of you." "Next time you call me, you call me collect." "Okay." "Bye-bye." " So how'd it go last night?" " Home by 10:00." "Pants off in front of the computer by 10:01." "Nice." "What about Sheila?" "Are you making any headway?" "We'll see." "I'm taking her to lunch today..." "Oh, whoa, whoa whoa." "Don't... don't do that." " Okay?" "Don't do lunch." " Why?" "That's like the express lane to the friend zone." "What the hell's the friend zone?" "See when a girl decides that you're her friend, you're no longer a dating option." "You become a complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like her brother." "Or a lamp." "I don't want to be a lamp." "Yeah." "Well, then don't be her friend, okay?" "Oh." "Take that guy, for example." " You mean that couple?" " No no no." "No, I mean the guy that wishes they were a couple." " What is your point?" " My point is... call Sheila, Ray." "Call her right now." "Move your day date to tonight." "Play the entire thing aloof and no matter what you do, kiss her at the end." " 'Cause friends don't kiss." " All right. "Aloof."" "Hi." " Straight to voicemail." " Ouch." "Hope you're not too late." "You may already be girlfriends." " Really?" "How will I know?" " Look." "It doesn't matter, okay?" "If you feel yourself going there, walk away." "Where'd you come up with this theory?" "Some chick f'd me up in high school bad." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Excuse you!" "I saw you flirting with me out there." "How could you do that to your boyfriend?" "Who, him?" "We're just friends." "Oh, no no no, I never said that, Lindsay." "I wouldn't do that." "No, I'm driving through a tunnel." "Okay." "One second here." "Hey, Francine, you look great." " Thanks." " That color really brings out your legs." "Hey, I don't even know you." "Yeah." "Ho-ho-ho." "That's great." "Merry Christmas." "I can still see it." "I can still... rub harder!" "Don't dab at it!" "Rub it." "Rub, rub it, rub it!" "Look, honestly, these pants make me look fat?" " Well..." " You're fired!" " What?" " I'm kidding." "Ho-ho-ho!" "Who's got a Christmas present?" "I do." "How you doing, boss?" "Merry Christmas." " I look fat in these pants?" " Hell no." "Excellent!" "So you're seeing your family" " for the holidays." " Well, as a matter of fact..." " Wait." "You want anything?" " No." "Go!" "Wait." " Family." " Parents are separated." " Jersey's not my idea of a good time, so..." " Fabulous." " Check this out." " Yeah." "Great." "Good." "First up tonight, you've seen her in the pages of magazines, and well, the opening of practically anything, but what what you may not know about this "it" girl... is her humanitarian side." "Hey, everyone." "I'm Samantha James and I'm here with Mr. Cluck Cluck and my new best friend Wafoofi and we're part of a kick-ass humanitarian effort to help promote vegetarianism in third world countries, which is really really important." "Okay, and speaking of really really important..." "I have some good news." "I've been recording for my new album which I hope to have out early next..." " I want that album." " Hah!" "What?" "!" " Samantha James?" " Yeah." "No no no no." "Listen to me very carefully now." "Samantha James is a crazy person." "Hey, you're the one that used to diddle her, not me." "It was one date!" "And I ended up in the hospital." "Have you seen this poster?" "Have you seen..." " this poster?" " Yeah, with the fruit." "This is the hottest-selling poster in the United States." "People love her." "They love her!" "Oh, who loves her?" "MTV just got her a new reality show next year." "We time the CD release with the show, we got a guaranteed hit plus free promotion." " She's recording over..." " I know where she's recording." "Good." "Good." "Make me happy." "Go away." "Wait." "Not you." "Wait!" "You don't make me happy, I'm gonna find somebody else to make me happy." "Loud and clear." "Yeah." "Clear as a bell." " Good." " Okay." "What are you still doing here?" "Go!" "Go get me lobster!" "Go!" "Run!" "Lobster!" "Run away!" "Run!" "Daddy want a fish!" "¶ Yeah, uh uh, eins zwei drei vier!"

"So, I'm gonna be real, okay?" "I'm not gonna let you and Hong Kong Phooey up there turn me into some poppy bubblegum wannabe." "Okay?" "I need to transcend!" "Are you guys even listening to me?"

"Wait a minute." "Are you here because you miss me, or are you just here because your boss wants to sign me?" "Both?" "That's cool." "Guess I missed you too." "God, I want to lick your skin off!" " I prefer you didn't." " But I want to." "Don't." "You're gonna get it." "You're gonna get it, baby." " I don't want it." " Bad kitty." "Meow, meow." " Okay." " Oh!" "Listen, what're you doing" " over the holidays?" " I'm going to Santa Barbara..." "'Cause Paris is throwing a Christmas bash in Paris." "Okay, Paris isn't gonna work for..."

"I'm so glad KC got us back together." "Yeah, you're awful." "I have a great idea." "What if on our way to Paris we stop off in Ireland and find out where U2 lives?" "What if we got someone like Bono to sing backup?" "I'd be all..." "¶ Forgiveness is the way, ¶ and he'd go, ¶ Forgiveness every day ¶ only all Bono-y." "Wouldn't that be amazing?"

"Not exactly warm out here, is it?" " How long till we're airborne again?" " Nice plane!" " Not till tomorrow." " Terrific." "Where are we?" "Not happy!" "We're on a private field an hour outside of Trenton." "Jersey?" "We're in New Jersey?" "Hey, wait a minute." "Am I being Punk'd?" "Where's Ashton?" "Ha!" "Ashton!" "Oh my God!" "Ha ha." "You totally got me!" "Ashton?" "I love it that you're taking me home to meet your mom." "Was this one of your clever little plans?" "Yes." "I planned you setting the plane on fire." "Surprise!" "Oh, my little boy." "Be right down." "I do not remember Jersey being this cold." "Well, it's been uncommonly cold this month." "We've gone through seven bags of rock salt." "Your house is just so quaint, Mrs. Brander," "I mean, Chris, you never told me you were so provincial." "It's like a true rags to riches story, but I've always found the middle class to be just so much more real." "I mean, isn't Chris great?" "Yeah, he is a nice boy." "You know, he usually flies us out to Los Angeles." "It's been... oh, nine, 10..." " It's 10 years." "Yeah." " 10?" "10 years since he's been home." " All right." "Good job, Dougie."

"I have your poster on my wall," " but you are way hotter in person." " I know!" " You have her poster on your wall?" " Yeah." "I slapped the ham to it like an hour ago." "What ham did you slap?" "Not the ham that I just bought?" "Oh, Mrs. Brander, do you have anything else besides ham?" "Because I'm on the Perricone diet and I need salmon like now." "I love salmon." "It's the prettiest color for bedrooms." " So relaxing." " I'm gonna start drinking." "Um, does anybody want anything?" "Some coffee?" "Maybe some salmon or something?" "Just gonna... yeah." "Mike!"

" Oh my God!" "Chris!" " I don't believe this!" " Oh!" "God, you look great!" " I don't... you look great!" " Well, thank you!" "How you been?" " We're married." " You're married!" " Married?" " Yeah, we're married, we got a kid." "TJ." " We have a son." "TJ." " TJ!" " He looks like me." "He's got Clark's eyes..." "Oh my God!" "Where does the time go?" "He's like the creative mind kid, he's like, brilliant and you can meet him." " That's great!" " God, look at those teeth!" "Those are some nice veneers you got, my friend."

"No." "I wish I could, but I..." "Let's go, Chris." "There's pee on the floor." " Yeah." " Okay... all right, well..." " it's really great to see you again." " You too." "Just give me a call sometime." "I'm living with my parents." "Oh, I know." "I'm living with my parents." "Okay, bye." " Bye." " Bye." " Jamie Pal." " Whoa!" "She's like a box of fine wine." "You would know." "You know, in high school you'd never get a girl like that." "And now you get whoever you want." "I bet you could definitely hit Jamie Pal." " Definitely." " Okay." "Okay." " Excuse me." " Oh yeah." "You go!" "Whoo!" " Hey!" " Hey!" "Look, there is a chance that my flight might be delayed an extra day." " What are you doing tomorrow?" " Um, nothing." " Do you want to meet for lunch?" " You mean like a day date?" "Yeah." "Great!" "Chris!" "Chris!" " I'll pick you up at noon." " Chris!" "Chris!" " Chris!" "Chris!" "Chris!" " Awesome, I'm really..." " I'm busy!" " I'm busy!" "Stupid dick!" " That sounds awesome." "I'll see you then." " Bye." "Let's go." " What was that all about?" " Nothing." "It's just an old friend saying hi."

" It's a beautiful day." "What about Paris?" "Look, Paris can wait." "This is important." "You don't wanna be" " out of touch with your audience, do you?" " No." "No, well then, you need to connect with your audience, you need to feed off their energy." "After all, they're the ones who're gonna be buying your album." "The problem is where in New Jersey are we gonna find a proper cross-section of your fans?" " The mall?" " A mall!" "That's a great idea!" " We have so much in common!" " I know!" " God." " Let's do it to it!" "Whoa!" "I am not going with him!" "Look, what better way to relate to your fans than to go with one?" "In we go." "You're not coming with me?" "No, sweetie." "You need to do this alone." " I can't be your crutch." " But I..." "Watch your face!" "Buckle up!" "Great." "That's good." "That's looking good." "Great, guys." "Really good." "Mr. Palamino, how you doing?" "Well well well, if it isn't Mr. Valentine's Day!" "This guy, every Valentine's Day, he'd buy Jamie like a dozen roses." "Used to drive all her boyfriends nuts!" "Ha!" "Till we explained, of course, it was just her little friend Chris." "Yeah, I remember that." "You prick." "I see you still have the best Christmas display in town, sir." " Hey!" "In the state!" " Hey, Chris!" "I'll be right out." "So, how'd you lose all that weight?" "Like that retard from Subway?" "It was great talking to you, sir." "Are you kidding me?" "I rented the nicest Porsche in New Jersey." "I'm just gonna play this whole thing aloof and she's gonna be eating out of the palm of my hand in no time." "Gotta go." "Porsche." "Girls must love this." "I hate this stupid thing too." "It's a rental." "So ostentatious." "It's all they had left." " God, this place hasn't changed a bit." " I know."

" Oh, my personal space." " I'll be right back." "I've got a little surprise for you." "Can't wait." "Haha!" "Chubby bunny!" "Thanks for reminding me I was fat." "So why did you disappear on me 10 years ago?" "Listen, about that..." "Where you that mad at me?" "Come on, Jamie." "It was like 100 years ago, all right?" "I'm not that pathetic little dweeb anymore." "You were never a dweeb, Chris." " So, tell me about your job." " Oh my God." "You know, once you get over all the glamour, you know, it's... it's nothing but total insanity." "You know, if it's not Pink calling you, then you got Good Charlotte... it's Jay Z's birthday party, you know, and I'm totally name-dropping right now and I'd really like to stop." "Mick Jagger." "How 'bout you?" "You know, what happened to you?" "How'd you end up working at The Maple?" "I don't work at The Maple." "I mean, I work at The Maple but I don't really work at The Maple." " Yeah."

" You da man!" " So I wanna run an idea by you." " No." "Since you're trying to hook up with Jamie, what if I went to Paris with Samantha" " instead of you?" "That way you..." " No." " You haven't heard the whole thing yet!" " No." "You know what, just... just think about it and get back to me." " Oh my God!" " I gotta go." " So, how's the coast?" " Super." "Here we go!" "One grilled cheese with ranch on the side and one Sugar Mountain Supreme for the chubby bunny." "Excuse me, um, this-this... this isn't gonna work for me." "But this is what you always order." "Yeah. 10 years ago, when I was a whale." "The pancakes are fine." "He's just kidding." "What?" " Be more rude!" " She's rude!" "She's rude!" "I haven't had sweets in 10 years, okay?"

"Hey, look who's here!" "What's up, Hollywood?" " How the big date go?" " It was terrible." "I went in for a kiss, but she wants a hug, okay?" "Then I get caught in a sort of kiss-hug limbo type thing." "I don't know what that is, then I ended up shaking her entire body." "So y-you gave her a body shake?" "Oh, God!" "I should've just kissed her!" "What am I doing?" "It looks like you picked up right where you left off." "You're back in the friend zone." "Oh, f-f..." "What?" "Little problem." "Okay, she's got a bit of a headache." "It's not that bad." "Ha!" "Oh my God!" "What the hell happened to her?" "Long story short, she fell." "Samantha, are you okay?" "I'm gonna make bubble." "Dude, she's fine!" "Look at her." "She's having a good time." "She's got her toothpaste." "All you had to do was watch her for a few hours." "What did you do to her?" "Nothing!" "She's just all loopy from all the Vicodin." "Where did you get the Vicodin?" "Mom." "Blueberry!" "Okay." "I'm gonna kill you." "What?" "!" "You said detain her!" " You're a dead man, Mike!"

" What's up?" "Listen, you're never gonna believe this, but I can't get a flight out." " I'm stuck here another day." " Oh." "I want to apologize for earlier." " Let me make it up to you." " I taste good." "Do you want to go ice skating?" " I thought you hated ice skating." " I used to, but you know, I'm actually pretty damn good now." "I'm the MVP in my league, in fact." "Come on, it'll be like old times." " Hello, Joyce?" " Mom?" "I'm on the phone." "Oh!" "Well, Chris, what are you doing over at Joyce's?" "No, Mom." "I'm in the living room, 10 feet away from you" " and I'm on the phone." " Oh." "Well, you know, I was wondering while I have you on the phone, what would you like for dinner?" "We-we have a choice between chicken chow mein or pot roast." "Mom." "Please." "Mom!" " Mom!" " What is it, peanut?" "Where are my ice skates?" "Oh, honey, I gave those away years ago." "Are you serious?" "I need them." "Well, honey, why would I keep them?" "You're never here." "Besides, you-you weren't terribly good at ice skating." "Well, I'm good now!" "And I need my skates to show off my talents." "Oh, well, honey, I'm sure you can rent a pair." "Besides, you don't have to show off for Jamie." "Just..." "just be yourself." "¶ Be yourself ¶" "¶ Be yourself, be yourself. ¶" "Now, come on!" "Mikey and I are making snow angels!" "I don't want to be myself." "My snow globe collection."

" I'm wearing figure skates from the '30s." " Here, let me help you." "Okay, I can do it myself, okay?" "I'm good." "I'm good now." " So..." " So..." " How's the love life?" " Lame." " Marty and I broke up a year ago." " Another jerk?" " "Another jerk?"" " I'm kidding..." "I'm just saying you dated a lot of jerks back in high school, that's all." "So how about you?" "You in love with anyone besides yourself?" "No." "I've really just been dating, you know?" "Just trying to look for my soulmate." "You didn't buy that, did you?" "Maybe you should try harder." "Or I could try this." "Oh..." "Hey guys, it's Miss Palamino!" "Yay!" "Hi, guys." "Sarah and Joey and Brett." "Hi!" " What, you... you know these kids?" " Yeah, I substitute teach" " their class." " Hey, um, we're having a pickup game." "We could use some more bodies." "You guys play?" "You know Chris is a great player, but he has rentals." " A good skater can skate in anything." " Yeah!" "I'm in." "Okay, guys." "Keep it clean." "Shoot it!" "Get it in!" "And goal!" " What was that?" "!" " You're pathetic!" "I'm sorry, okay?" "It's just these damn rental skates." "It's fine." "Just don't cuss in front of the children." "Potty mouth." "Get him, Terry!" "He hacked me!" "Wanna fight, punk?" " What, are you kidding me?" " Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!"

" It's his fault." " You suck, Brander." " Hey." " I brand you "Suckster."" " Oh my... that's enough." " Hey." "Now Chris is trying his best here." "Sorry, Miss Palamino, but he's just so terrible." " I'm not terrible." " Suckster!" "Suckster!" "Suckster!" "Suckster!" " Maybe you should call it a day." " No, I can do this!" " Suckster!" "Suckster." "Suckster!" "Suckster..." " Hey!" "I'm a really good skater, little girl!" "Watch!" "You might learn something!" "I'm taking this one." "Me?" "Chris, no!" "No!" "No slap shots!" "Suckster!" "Suckster!" "Suckster!" "Suckster!"

"Jamie Palamino." " Dusty Dinkleman?" " Yeah." "Actually, I go by "Dusty Lee" now, but yeah." " "Dutty Nee?"" " Thanks for saving me." "Yay, Dusty!" " You remember Chris Brander?" " Eeh." " Boo..." " Oh, yeah." "Seen better days, I guess, pal?" "Hey, listen, I don't want to make this weird, but you look incredible." " So do you." " Really glad you dropped in." "Cool..." "Sorry about that, buddy." "Here we go." "Late '20s." "Male Caucasian with multiple lacerations on lower mandible and possible concussion." "Transport en route, over." " 10-4." " So, Jamie," " you still living in town?" " Oh, yeah, I just moved back." "Oh, really?" "Me too." " It's a small world." " No kidding." "Jeez, you know," "I cannot get over how great you look." "Oh, pfft." "Me?" "Look at you!" "Yeah, I guess my skin cleared up and I lost my stammer, but I still play a mean guitar." "I'm actually only doing this part-time till I can make it in music." "You know, Chris is in the music business too." "He could probably help you." "Oh, hey." "Easy there, Gretzky." "You know, we should hang out, you know, have lunch sometime?" "I would love to have lunch." "Um, where can I give you my phone number?" "Just write it on this." "Jamie Palamino." "This is bullshit!" "You haven't aged a peep." "What do you know about Dusty Dinkleman?" " You mean Dusty Lee?" " Yeah." "Works in the building, drives ambulance." "Why?" "Well check this out." "So I'm out with Jamie again..." "Another day date?" "Yes." "Anyway, we're having a great time and then Dusty shows up out of nowhere, and then Jamie gives him her number." "Hey, didn't Dusty have like a huge crush on Jamie?" "Yeah, you got some competition there, Chris." "I mean, Dusty is a really nice guy." "Yeah, well Jamie doesn't date nice guys." "She puts them in the friend zone and then tortures the shit out of them." "I don't know." "Jamie's come a long way since high school." "I think she might be maturing." "Maturing?" "So that's why she went with Dusty." "She wants a sensitive guy... more like the old me." "Well, if she wants Mr. Rogers, then I'm going to show her the biggest pussy she's ever seen." "Yeah." "Okay, we're done." "Now... you're gonna need to wear this for the next few days until those stitches are ready to come out." "And here you go." "Just like your old yearbook picture." "¶ Feel my love from afar. ¶" "Come in!" " Can I come in?" " I just said that." "I brought magazines." "Ugh, these are old." " Flowers?" " Those are daisies." " How about snacks?" " Carbs?" "Are you kidding me?" "I can't eat that crap." "I'm just trying to be helpful." "Well you're not." "So vamoose." " I guess I'll just leave you now." " No, wait wait." "I'm sorry I'm being such a biatch." "It's just that I'm supposed to be in Paris and I'm not, and I'm going out of my mind with boredom!" "I mean, my Sidekick broke and I..." "I haven't had sex in, like, forever." "And I'm so horny." "I'm horny." "Wait a minute." " How old are you?" " I'm 22... 20... 19..." "I'm..." "I'm 18." "Eighteen."

"How are you feeling?" " So much better." "Listen, I know it's Christmas Eve," " but do you have any plans tonight?" " No." "Well... the revival theater in town is showing Nicholas Sparks's "The Notebook."" " Hello?" "I'm on the phone." " Really you want to see "The Notebook"?" "Yes, because I love sentimental tear-jerkers." "I'm gonna friggin' puke." "Just a second." " You are so dead." "Do you hear me?" " Whatever, dude." " What're you doing over there?" " Faggot." " Nothing." " That's my call-waiting." "One second." " So, anyway..." " Hello?" " Hey, Jamie." "It's Dusty." " Hey, Dusty." "Hey, listen, just..." "Dude, I think she left you hanging." "It's probably just an important business call." "Get off the phone." " What, the bar ran out of curly fries?" " Get off the phone." "Dude, are you gonna boink Jamie tonight?" "Yes." "Are you happy now?" "All right." " Dude, "The Notebook"'s so gay." " Get off the phone!" " Sorry about that." " That's okay." " So anyway, what do you say?" " About what?" "Going to a movie tonight?" "Then maybe later we can go for some..." "herbal tea." "Okay, sure." "Um..." "You know what?" "You're on my way to the theater." "Why don't I pick you up at like 7:30?" " It's a date." " Homo." " Bye for now." " Bye." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Truce!" "Paris, here we come!" " But I'm not ready to play a gig." " Of course you are." "No." "No." "No!" " This is a bad idea, Chris." " God, I'm so stupid!" " No you're not, baby." " Here I am, trying to nurture this artist, yet you're this pop bubblegum sensation, and that's okay." "Paris, here we come!" "But I am an artist." "I am an artist!" "Hey!" "I am an artist!" " Let's go do this." " Are you ready for this?" "I was born ready, bitch." " I'm really excited about this." " Yeah, me too." " Yeah." " Okay, let's do this." "Yeah." " Hey!" "Wait!" "You're not coming with me?" " Of course I am." "Mike's just giving you a ride to the gig."
