"Previously on Privileged..." "Elyse Valencour is on line 2." "Again?" "Take another message." "I can't imagine you keeping a secret" "From Rose for very long." "There are some things I'll never tell her." "I've been thinkin' about goin' back to school, maybe finish my degree." "I'm ready to move on." "You and Megan, you still into her?" "I have a girlfriend." "She's in the bathroom right now with your girlfriend." "I'm not your problem, buddy." "If it didn't ring, nobody called." "That's generally how the phone works." "I left my dad two messages, and he hasn't returned my phone call." "What is it with the male DNA that makes them so avoidy?" "Honey, give him some space." "The love of his life walked out on him twice." "He doesn't need an "I told you so" lecture from little Miss Sunshine." "I don't lecture people." "I simply encourage them to stay positive, much as I have encouraged you to win Keith back." "To winning Keith back." "Now, what do we have so far?" "So far, our top three choices are deliver Keith a singing telegram." " Horrendous." " Yeah." "I know." "Um, skywriting or some eco-friendlier version thereof." " How much champagne have we had?" " I don't know, because our third idea seems to involve you wrapping a bow around Your private area and showing up on his doorstep singing would you light my candle." "And we're done with that." "Guess who's three for three on his college applications." " You got into all three?" " Ohh!" "That's amazing!" " Thank you." "I'm kind of in shock." "Congratulations, Charles." "Oh." "Now, if you'll excuse me," "I think I need to lie down." "Apparently, I'm drunk." "So what's the plan?" "Are you gonna go to Florida U. this semester, or you gonna wait till next fall?" "Actually I decided to go to U.C.S.D." " But that's the one in California." " I know." "It's far." "It's three-hour time difference far." "But U.C. San Diego has one of the best" "Marine biology programs in the country." "You'll be watching all of our favorite TV shows three hours before me." "Actually, you'll watch them before me." "You still don't get time zones, do you?" "I thought that you wanted to go to Florida U." "I thought that was the plan." " I thought you'd be psyched." " I am." "No, I am." "I'm--I'm more than psyched." "I'm so proud of you, Charlie." "So, just can't believe that you're leavin'." "Well, let's not think about that part yet." "There's champagne already opened." "Let's celebrate in style." " To California." " To California." "Hello?" "Hi." "How was your date with Luis last night?" "You guys were out pretty late." "Don't get all singsongy with me." "I'm not awake enough for that yet." "Come on." "I want the details." "Last night was date number 7." "Stuff has to have happened by now." "Stuff has happened." " Not the stuff." " Well, I should hope not." "And FYI, if the stuff ever happens," "I expect you to wake me up the second you get home and tell me all about it." "Uhh!" "I can't do this!" "Do what?" "What's wrong?" "I can't even talk to you about sex without getting this huge sick feeling." "I totally wanna puke right now." "There's nothing to puke about." "If you don't wanna have sex with Luis, you don't have to." "Yeah, but what if I never want to?" "What if I die a virgin?" "You are not gonna die a virgin." "You don't know that, Rose." "Does Luis know that you haven't done it before?" " Of course not." " Well, why not?" "Because there's no normal way to tell a person that." "What am I supposed to say?" ""hey, Luis, I'm a virgin." "Wanna get a jamba juice?"" "Well, that's not bad." "I mean, I'd probably lose the jamba juice part, but it's not bad." "Well, what if that's like a total deal breaker for him?" "I mean, he is a couple years older than me." "He's a guy." "What if he breaks up with me because I don't wanna give it up?" "Then he's a jerk." "But if Luis is as cool as I think he is, he's gonna be willing to talk it out with you." "Relationships are based on open and honest communication," " right?" " I guess." "Well, how did Zach take it when you told him that you have had sex before?" "We should probably get ready for school." "You haven't told him yet, have you?" "Hasn't come up." "You are such a hypocrite." "If I have to tell Luis that I've never had sex before," " You have to tell Zach that you have." " Yeah, with one person." "It was just one person." "That's still just one more person than him." "I know." "That's the problem." "He's gonna feel all bad that I have more experience and I'm the girl." "It's just--it's gonna bend the whole gender-power dynamic." "Megan made me read backlash." "You tell, or I won't." "Fine." "We'll tell them tomorrow." "We need time to prepare our speeches and buy the right outfits." "Good point." "What do you wear for something like this?" " Flats." " Flats." " Hi." " Hey." "How was work?" "Ok." "What's goin' on with you?" "Well, it's kinda crazy." "You know how I applied to U.C.S.D., thinking I'd never actually get in?" " You got in." " I got in." " I knew you could do it." " Really?" "I didn't." "Well, you should listen to me more often." "I'm so happy for you." "So when do you leave?" "Well, the third quarter starts in a few weeks, so I'm gonna drive out there and find a place to live and... maybe get a part-time job." "So a few days, I guess." "That's soon." "Yeah." "I know." "I, um" "I wanted to talk to you about the long-distance thing." "I gotta be honest." "I'm not sure we'd be so great at it." "I agree." "I'm all for just making the most of the time we have left together, and say we did our best." "You are amazing." "You know that, right?" "If I ever made you feel like you weren't the most important girl in my life, I'm sorry." "Hey, until you hit the road," "I am still taking my girlfriend duties very seriously." " Oh, yeah?" " Absolutely." "You know, I'm gonna throw you the best going-away party ever." "I like it." "But before that, there's some much more important business that we have to deal with, right away." "Come on." "How long does it take to put on pajamas?" "There's lots of buttons." "Well, if it's gonna be that much trouble, you should just leave 'em off." "I'm blue." "So no sex, then?" "Charlie decided to go to U.C.S.D." "Really?" "Well, good for him." " What?" " You can at least pretend to be disappointed." "My best friend's leaving me." "Ok, I'm sorry, but it's not like he's leavin' forever." "It's just school." " I'm sure he'll be back." " Or he'll find a job in California, marry some hippie from Topanga, and never come home." "That's a very specific possibility." "You know what'll make you feel better?" "We're not having sex tonight." "I know." "I'm past that." "I think you should do somethin' for him." " Take him out to dinner or somethin'." " No, I can't." "Mandy's already throwing him some big bon voyage party." "So?" "I mean, nobody gets to say a proper good-bye at those things." "You two should do your own thing." " Seriously?" "You'd be ok with that?" " Why wouldn't I be?" "I don't know." "Maybe 'cause last time we went out, you got all face-veiny and throat-growly." "I promise I won't do that." "Ok." "Then I'll call him." "Oh, um, and did I mention that I love you?" "So I meant to ask you, how was jail?" "It was awesome." "Thanks." "Almost as great as marriage." "Oh, that's right." "I forgot." "You're married." "Where is the old ball and chain now?" "In jail." "Shut up." "I'm having a year." "Yeah." "Me, too." "How's your dad been doin' since your mom left?" "Don't know." "I haven't called him." " What?" "What am I supposed to say to the man?" " You're supposed to check in and make sure he's not drinking." " I can't do that." " Yes, you can, Lily." "No, I can't." " Maybe I should call Megan." " Come on, dude!" "What?" "He's her father, too." "And she took care of him for a long time." "She spent her whole childhood making sure you guys were ok." "Look," "I'm not saying you shouldn't talk to her about it, but why don't you be the rock this time around?" "Let them lean on you for a change." "Take it as an opportunity to start over." " I could maybe do that." " Good." " Fresh start and all that." " Sure." "Why not?" "Is that what you're doing moving to San Diego?" "Yeah, in a way." "My ass." "Not that I don't think you wouldn't be good at it, but the sudden burning desire to be Jacques Cousteau," " not buyin' it." " You don't have to buy anything." "I'm just lookin' for a clean slate." "That's all." "That's fine, but until you deal with your issues, you're never gonna get one." "Wait." "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about you being in love with Megan." " That's not" " And don't even try to deny it." "I've known you too long." "You can move halfway across the country or to the frickin' moon, but until you deal with the feelings you have for my sister, they'll follow you wherever you go." "It'll never be a clean slate, Charlie." "It'll just be running away." "I'm here to have open and honest communication." "Oh." "Ok." "This is gonna blow your mind, so... you might wanna sit down." "I know that you must see me as worldly and well traveled and therefore experienced in many things, so it may come as a shock to you that I'm a, uh," "You know." "Terrorist." "No." "That I'm inexperienced..." "In the ways of things." "Y-you know, um," "In--in the matters of..." "Silverware." " You're not listening to me." " I'm trying to." "It's just" "I'm a virgin, ok?" "!" "Do you wanna get a jamba juice?" "Ok, listen, guy." "I'll have you know that abstinence just so happens to be all the rage these days." "Everybody's doing it." "Or not doing it, as the case may be." " Forget it." "If this is so funny to you" " Oh, no, no, no..." "I'm not laughing at you, Sage." "I-it's funny because it's actually perfect." " How is it perfect?" " Because..." "I've never had sex before either." " Come again?" " Catholic." "No sex before marriage." "It's how I was raised." "Wait." "So..." "You're religious?" "Well, you could say that." "I go to mass every weekend." "Saturday night, Sunday mornings been doin' it my whole life." "Wow." "Heh." "That's a lot of mass." "Is that why we never go out Saturday night?" "Yeah." "I just--I figured you wouldn't be into it." "But if you ever wanna go," " It's really great" " Oh, no, no, no." "That's ok." "That's ok." "I'm not really a churchy kind of person." " Ok." " Yeah." "I'm gonna be late for school." "I'll see you later." "Please glass" "Step away from the cardboard boxes, because you, sir, are comin' with me." "I can't!" "I gotta pack." "I gotta box." "I gotta" "You're unusually strong for a little person." "Come on." "I'm kidnapping you." "We're gonna do this farewell thing the right way." "So grab a sweater, some sunscreen, and" " Grab that roll of quarters." " No, but I got laundry to do." "Since when has laundry been a priority in your life?" "Let me call Mandy." "Call her from the car." "Tell her we're gonna be gone all day." " All day?" "Where are you taking me?" " Well, if I told you, then it wouldn't be called a kidnapping." "Well, I've just agreed to come." "It's no longer a kidnapping." "It's just you and me hanging out." "Well, if that were the case, why would I have brought a blindfold?" "Cielo Prep" "You want any more fruity snacks?" "I brought a bunch." "Ok." "So, Zach, we've been dating for a while now, and ..." "I just thought it was time to have a conversation about some things, some pretty big things." "I--I know you want me to wax my eyebrows, but it's-- it's not somethin' I'm real comfortable with." "No, this is bigger than eyebrows, Zach." "This is about sex." "Ok." "The thing is I've had sex before, two times to be exact, but it was only with one person, so ju--one person, two times, but one person." " Oh." " And, look, we don't have to do anything you don't wanna do," " Because I don't think that we're ready." " Oh, m-me neither." "Good." "I just wanted to let you know that I'm not a "v."" "Oh, uh, th-that's cool." "I'm not either." "Hey, uh, y-you want a fruity snack?" "How can you not be one?" "I--I mean, I know how, but..." "Who?" "Oh, w-with my ex-girlfriend, Polly Fagen." "You had a girlfriend?" "For two years." " For two years?" " Yeah." "You had sex with your girlfriend," "Polly Fagen, for two years?" "Well, I-it took 15 months before we actually did it, so technically we had sex for 7 months and 3 weeks." "Who is she?" "Oh, she's from Palm Beach, too." "B-but we met at space camp in Huntsville, Alabama." "Yeah, I--I was commander of a space shuttle mission, and she was my mission control specialist." "Yeah, w-we hung out, started dating, and then when camp was over," "I asked her to be my girlfriend." "Sh-she goes to Akiba academy over in west Palm." "That's" "Wow." "So you were probably in love with her if you guys were together that long." "Yeah." "I--I was." "Ha-have you ever been in love?" "Sorta." "I mean, almost." "Like..." "Well, it was in a way that wasn't really..." "Like, you know." "That's cool." "Well, w-we should probably go." "Mr. Whedon frowns on tardiness." "But I-I'm so glad we had this talk, Rose." "Bye." "Yeah, me, too." "Megan: aah!" "No!" "Paddle!" "Paddle!" "Paddle!" "You gotta get that board moving!" "What are you doing?" "In all the years of trying to teach you to surf, this is nothing like how I pictured it." "Well, it's much, much safer." "You're insane!" "Um, excuse me." "I'll have you know that surfing at night is the leading cause of death by shark." "Have you not seen "Jaws"?" "Ok, if we're gonna do this on dry land, let's practice stuff that makes sense." "You gotta learn to jump up on your board." " I am on my board." " On your feet." "Am I not on my feet?" "Come on, girl!" "On your feet!" "Oh, but it's so comfy down here." "All right, now, when you jump up, you want both your feet to hit the board at the same time." " You ready?" " No!" "All right. 1... 2... 3!" "I did it." "You did it." "Whoa." "I love you, Megan." "Tell me you feel the same way, and I won't go." "Tell me you need me to stay." "You guys shouldn't be out here." "Surf's gettin' pretty high." "Sorry." "Thank you." "We should, um..." "We should probably call a cab." "Yeah." "Ok." "Sage: is that the space camp chick?" "Rose:" "Her name's Polly." "Looks like Polly's had one too many crackers." "W-well, it says here she's a fan of "Generation Kill", listens to emo, and right now, is feeling very grateful." "Um, I hate her and everyone else who does status updates." " I just don't get it." " What's to get?" "She's lame." "You're cool." "End of story." "But Zach was in love with her." " They dated for two years." " And now he's dating you, so clearly, he traded up." "What if he prefers Generation Kill girls?" "I mean, we've only--we've only been dating a few weeks." "Maybe he thinks that I'm gonna start listening to crazy punk music someday." "At least he doesn't think you're gonna go to church with him." "Are you still avoiding Luis?" " No." " Yes." "Fine." "I think you're way overreacting." "Um, you're obsessing over a fat girl from space camp, and I'm overreacting?" "My guy is a religious zealot." " He goes to church." " Zealot." "That does not make him a zealot." "Come on." "You've seen "The Da Vinci Code"." "What if he's like the albino guy and flogs himself at night?" "Luis is catholic." "There are lots of normal Catholics." "Well, have you ever thought that maybe he just wants to share the experience with you?" "I don't wanna go to church." "What's the big deal?" "I don't know." "I-it just..." "Makes me feel weird." "Look, if you really can't, then just tell him that, but don't avoid him." "He opened up and told you something personal." "I mean, well, what if he started avoiding you after you had told him that you'd never had sex before?" "Well..." "I would hate him." "Exactly." "Almost as much as I hate emo." "Good." "You're alive." "I..." "Vaguely remember you hailing a cab and me stealing your sweatshirt." "Sorry about at." "I brought you a bucket of grease." "I ate a drumstick, but there's... still plenty in there to soak up the enormous amount of alcohol that we drank." "Thanks." "So, um..." "About last night, um..." "Well, I'm willing to chalk it up to too much sand and beer if you are." "We were drunk." "Heh." "And emotional and... things were said and done under the influence." "Maybe, but I'm sober now, and I'm not takin' any of it back." " Charlie." " I love you." "I have for a long time, and I've been wanting to tell you since you came home, but I-it was never the right time." "And maybe last night wasn't the right time either, but..." "I couldn't leave without telling you how I feel." "I'm in love with you, Megan." "I, um--I don't-- I don't know what to say." "I" "I don't--I, um..." "I don't feel the same way." "I'm so sorry." "Ah." "Hey, babe." " Hi." " Hey." "Did you guys have fun last night?" "I didn't even hear you come home." "Check it out." "Streamers, balloons." "Kazoos." "A little out of control, I know." "I gotta get back." "Oh." "I'll see you tonight, Megan." "Ready to take a few good lashes for the Almighty?" "I'm kidding." "That was funny." "But this is gonna be the first time God has seen me in, like, forever." "Maybe I should, uh, change my outfit." "Come on." "You look great." " Wait." " What is it?" "I don't think I can do this." "You said you wanted to come." "I know, but, um," "I might need to change my mind." "Can we just go home?" "Well, look, I don't wanna force you, but I'm goin' in." "If you don't want to, just take my car and go home." "I'll--I'll get a ride." " Well, did you kiss him back?" " Not really." " It's a yes-or-no question." " We were drunk." "Well, what were you doing drunk in the middle of the night on a beach with a guy who was in love with you?" "Well, obviously I didn't know that he was in love with me." "How could you possibly not know that?" " Everybody knows." " Well, who's everybody?" " Everybody." "I did." " Well, I didn't, and you were the one who suggested that I go out with him, so I" " Well, I never thought that this would happen." " Well, I didn't either." "It--look, I'm so sorry." "I didn't even think this was a possibility." " It was very weird and awkward." " Well, what did you say after it happened?" "I told him the truth, told him that I didn't feel the same way." " You said that?" " Yeah, I did." "Because I love you." "You're the one that I wanna be with." "Ok." " "ok"?" " Yeah." "Ok." "Ok, I just need, like, twenty minutes, and then I'll be ready to go." "Go?" "Go where?" "What, you still wanna go to Charlie's good-bye party?" "I have to." "Obviously if you don't wanna go," "I'm not gonna make you go." "Of course I don't wanna go." "Ok." "That's fine." "Megan, the guy just poured his heart out to you," " and you rejected him." " I know." "It's gonna be really hard, but..." "I don't wanna Just avoid him and not speak to him again." "I mean, that's not gonna help." "I'm not sayin' that you should never speak to him again, but this just happened." "You bein' there tonight isn't gonna help either." "It's just mean." " I disagree." " You're wrong." "Maybe." "But when all is said and done, he's my best friend in the whole world," "and I have to say good-bye." "And what I'm saying is you've already kissed your best friend good-bye." "You ok?" "Yeah." " Hey." " Hey, sister." " Can I get you something?" " Oh." "I already have one." "Um, but let me." " Can we get a" " I have, um, just a glass of the house merlot." "Um, have you talked to dad lately?" "I tried calling him this morning, but he didn't answer." "Yeah, I been getting the same thing, too." "You know what?" "Maybe-- oh, thanks." "Maybe I'll go by the boat tomorrow and check in on him." "You don't have to." "I can do it." "Really?" "Consider it my turn." "I'll head over before work." "Um..." "Something comes up, do you want me to call you?" "Yeah." "Thank you." "Yeah." "That'd-- that'd be great." "Hey!" "It's the Smith sisters." "I'm so glad you guys could make it." "I wouldn't miss it." "Are you havin' fun?" " This is a great party." " Yeah, of course." "Come on, blondie." "Mandy's got a game of beer pong goin' back there, and we need a pro." "Come on." "I'll play, but I'm not gonna drink." "Well, if you play the game right, you won't have to drink." "Come on." "Go." "Show him how it's done." "What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this?" "You came?" "What can I say?" "I missed you." "You have any fun yet?" "Uh, well, I tried to make a run for it, but I didn't wanna be too obvious." "I'm not too spry in these heels." "I'll have whatever's on tap." " Bartender: coming' up." " Thank you." "So how's this?" "I will stay for as long as you want me here." "I'm feeling better about this night already." "Megan and Will!" "Get your asses out here!" "We need some more players." "How's your aim?" "Very, very bad." "Thanks." ""If y+8=x-3,"" ""what is the value of y?"" "Why does it matter?" ""Poppa's tapas," huh?" "All right, all right, all right." "That was straight in the glass!" "Yeah!" "Oh." "Um, I'll pass, but thank you." "Come on, babe." "You can get it." "Dear god, why did it have to be them?" "It's okay." "Please miss." "Please miss." "Please miss." "Please miss." "Come on, Will!" "Get it, Will." "Yeah!" "That was amazing!" "That was amazing!" "Good game." "Winner as always." " Excuse me?" " Nothin'" "You got somethin' to say, just say it." "Will." " You got a problem with me?" " No." "But I'd prefer it if you didn't go around kissing' my girlfriend behind my back." "Whatever it is you think you have with her, it won't last." "You lost, Chuck." "Just deal with it." "Yeah." "Oh, my god!" "Stop it!" "Come on!" "Stop it!" "It's still bleeding." "I'm gonna go get some towels." "I am so sorry for ruining your party." "That's what you're sorry for?" "Forget it." "Mandy, I don't know what to say." "How 'bout, "I'm sorry for making out with your boyfriend"?" ""I'm sorry for screwing with his head all these years"?" "He kissed me." "I didn't mean to mislead him." " I certainly didn't mean to hurt anyone." " But you did." "You hurt everyone." "You're so wrapped up in your own neuroses that you don't even notice what's going on around you." "It's obvious the only person that you really care about is yourself." " That's not true." " Sure it is." "You play all sweet and adorable, but the truth is you're completely selfish." "You're the worst kind of bad person, because you think you're good, but you're not." "You're not a good person at all." "Did you enjoy the potluck, Sage?" "Holy crap, I'm stuffed." "Oh, God, was I not supposed to say" ""holy" and "crap" in the same sentence?" "It's official." "I like her." "Yeah." "She's all right." "We gotta go home and relieve the baby sitter." " It was great to meet you, Sage." " You, too." " Have a good night." " You, too." " Good night." " Night, guys." "Ok." "So..." "What did you really think about it?" "I mean, I couldn't figure it out, if you were havin' a good time tonight or just a very good actress." "No, it was nice-- the music, the people." "It wasn't at all how I remembered it." "Yeah?" "How's that?" "Well..." "The last time I was in church was for my parents' funeral, so..." "Oh, man." "I'm so sorry." " I didn't even think about that." " That's ok." "I don't talk about it a lot." "It happened a long time ago." "How old were you when your parents died?" "Rose and I were six." "I remember getting to the church, and the first thing I thought was how pretty it looked." "The aisles were decorated with my mom's favorite lilies, and all of their best friends were there, dressed up, looking so nice." "It was like this huge room filled with all their favorite things." "And for the first minute, I thought..." "They're gonna be so happy when they get here." "And then I remembered." "Then I got really scared... because I thought this is what life is gonna be like from now on." "Everything would look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside, it would feel awful... and empty and" "And sad." "That didn't turn out to be true, though, right?" "Sometimes I feel like it did, but..." "Not as much when I'm with you." "So now you know why I'm not running to church every week." "And I don't blame you." "I'm sure you're pretty pissed at God for taking your parents away from you." "Yeah, well..." "He's probably not too happy with me either." "And not just because of the outfit I'm wearing." "Well, here's the great thing about the big guy." "He's all about forgiveness, whenever you're ready." "I'm not so sure about that." "I am." "It's like any other relationship." "You guys just need to talk it out." "I'm pretty sure that he'll listen." "Hey, Zach." "Hey, you have to turn on the TV." "Remember that episode of "Battlestar Galactica" I was tellin' you about?" "It's about to start." "I'm actually not by the TV right now." "Oh." "Where--where are you?" "I thought you were home studying tonight." "Well, I was." "I'm at Poppa's Tapas, stalking Polly, which I know is insane, but" "I like you, and I just wanted to see the kind of person that you loved, and I-if you wanna break up with me immediately," "I completely understand, because I'm a... crazy person, unlike Polly, who, by the way, she seems really delightful." "Y-you're stalking Polly b-because you like me?" "Yes?" "Uh, th-that's really sweet." "It is?" "Yeah." "I-I've never had anyone like me enough to stalk on my behalf." "I have to say that this open and honest communication thing is awesome." "Ok, I'm gonna leave right now so I can finish watching the episode with you." "Ok." "B-but hurry." "You don't wanna miss the part where Boomer realizes she's a cylon." "Excuse me." "Are you Rose Baker?" "Yeah." "Oh, do you want an autograph?" "Uh, no." "Thank you." "My name is Elyse Valencour, and this might seem like a strange question, but have you ever met a man named Miles Franklin?" "Perhaps he came to your house about a month ago." "Yeah." "Totally." "He's a friend of my grandmother's." "Ok." "Thank you." "I just needed to verify that information." "No problem." "Was he a friend of yours or something?" "Actually, he's my father." "Hmm." "And your grandfather." "I paid the bill." "You ready?" "Yeah." "I'll meet you back at your place." "I--I don't wanna leave my car here." "Ok." "So follow me." "I can't leave yet." "I just need to make sure he's ok." " Unbelievable." " Will" "How much more of this do you think I'm gonna take, Megan?" "I can't just walk ou- and don't act all mad, ok?" "Like you didn't play a part in what happened here tonight." " What part did I play?" " Come on." "No." "I wanna hear what you saw go down here tonight, because I can't figure out how any of it is my fault." "Did you really have to win the game that badly?" "You wanted me to throw a beer pong game for him?" "Do you really think he's that pathetic," " that his ego can't take" " Don't call him pathetic." " He threw the first punch." " After you provoked him." "He was ready to walk away." "You didn't have to bring up the kiss." "You didn't have to humiliate him like that." "You're always gonna take his side." "No matter what happens," "I'm always gonna come in second to that guy." "Will" "Forget it." "I'm outta here." "Miss Baker." "Can I help you with something?" "I need to talk to Laurel." "Uh, I don't think her plane is due to land for several hours." "I can fit you into her schedule in the morning." "That's ok." "I'll just wait here." "Hey." "I thought you'd be gone by now." "Yeah, I saw that your car was still out front, so I stuck around." "Where'd you go?" "I just took a walk, needed to clear my head a bit." "It been a crappy night." "Year." "Whatever." "I'd rather die than hurt you, Charlie." "You're not just my best friend." "You're the best person that I've ever known." " Megan" " You are." "You've been so good to me, and I have been a selfish idiot to not see what was right in front of me, and I'm so sorry." "You didn't do anything wrong." "Maybe that's not true." "And maybe I did know how you felt and I couldn't deal with it, so I just pretended that it wasn't there, and..." "Well, that's what denial is, right?" "Maybe I just let myself live in denial because it was easier for me, but that's not fair to you or maybe I should have said something a long time ago instead of waiting for you to figure it out." "Maybe." "I don't know why I don't feel the same way." "But I do know that..." "You're the most important person in my life." "I love you, Charlie, and I'm so sorry if I've been a bad person and a terrible friend, but I don't wanna lose you, and..." "I'm really afraid I already have." "You couldn't be a bad person if you tried." "And you didn't lose me." "It'll take some time, but we'll figure it out." "Promise?" "We'll see each other again." "I promise." "Is there something you'd like to confess?" "Forgive me, father, for I have sinned." "My parents passed away a long time ago, and... it was my fault." "I am the reason my parents are dead."
