"You know, I smelled that when you came in." "It was very unusual." "What is it?" "Mountain lion urine." "Oh." "Have you ever been taken from behind by a mountain lion?" "I cannot say that I have." "It wasn't half bad." "We're going to need a lot more sessions." "This changed me, Corey!" "He dragged me to his cave!" "I've had worse dates." "So, two times a week?" "I never knew it could be like that." "His tongue was like sandpaper." "He polished me down there." "Like a bowling ball." "Let's make it three." "* * *" "[Locks door]" "Oh yes, yes!"

"Excuse me - may I help you?" "I'd like to make an appointment." "* * *" "Change!" "Hey, buddy, you got a little change?" "Actually, I gave at the office." "Really, coffee business is that bad?" "Are you finally gonna do it?" "I have the rings right here." "You've been carrying them around for three months!" "What are you waiting for, man-opause?" "I'll do it before I'm 30!" "Three more months?" "Whatever!" "It's got to be perfect!" "I actually have it all mapped out." "As usual!" "Kelse, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing." "Not for our parents." "Well, thank God I'm not our parents!" "You're right, our parents would never wear..." "ZEBRA-STRIPED THONGS!" "Shut up!" "Poor little baby zebra," "Oh, I bet his mommy misses it!" "I actually freed the zebra, about an hour ago." "At the office?" "Dirty little whore!" "I know, it's unprofessional," "But my heart was in the right place." "Yeah, that's not your heart." "I believe it's connected to my heart." "This "perfect moment" thing has gone on long enough!" "If you don't ask him tonight, I'm going to ask him for you." "Don't, please, you're going to mess it up." "I will if you make me!" "Ow, seriously?" "I'm going to call him at 6:00 AM." "Either I'll say congratulations," "Or I'm popping the question." "Okay!" "I'll ask... him." "I'll ask him!" "Tonight?" "Pinky swear!" "Don't wait for the perfect moment." "Sometimes love happens when you're making other plans." "I don't, uh..." "believe in zebras." "Thongs, I don't wear..." "I hooked dad up with some stuff to take care of it..." "Babe, I'm home!" "Yeah mom, I'll tell him..." "Yeah, I'll tell him." "Mom says to tell you that she loves you." "And that the housewives are shameless hussies." "Well, you tell that hussy I love her too." "And dad!" "He loves you, too." "And dad." "Yeah, dad, just as a friend." "[Hangs up]" "Hey, where's dinner, I thought you were going to make" "That French cuisine thing." "Pigeon... foie gras!" "The market was fresh out of pigeon." "And I made brownies." "What are you, like, 15?" "From scratch, I'm not a savage!" "There's an order to the food universe." "Brownies are reserved for special occasions." "Parties, birthdays..." "Well, we'll party on your birthday, then." "I've got soccer practice, 7:30." "Dinner!" "Relax - mama ordered us a pizza." "Well, I'm starving." "It better get here soon." "I've got something you can snack on." "Oh, baby!" "[Sheep ringtone]" "I have to take this." "I've got something you have to take..." "Give it a rest, this is a client!" "It's always a client." "Five minutes." "Hello?" "Okay, calm down..." "No, it's fine that you called." "Baby!" "Woah, slow down!" "Deep breaths..." "Tell me what happened..." "deep breaths..." "Okay, go to your happy place, somewhere tropical..." "Pizza!" "My wallet is in my coat pocket!" "Alright, where are you?" "Keep breathing..." "[Knocking]" " No it isn't!" " Yes it is!"

"Yeah, Jimbo hurt his back." "I can see why." "Do I smell brownies?" "Yeah - just, how much is this gonna cost me?" "It's all good, bro, I just need to see the card." "Alright, thank you guys so much." "Have a good night." "[Door slams]" ""It's all good, bro?" What an asshole!" "What's gotten into you?" "I'm more worried about who's getting into you." "Why are you always flirting with these straight guys?" "I wasn't flirting, he just wasn't what I expected." "I put the tip on the card." "What were the ones for, a lap dance?" "Woah, are you jealous?" "Of the pizza guy?" "I'd better get to practice, I want to get an early start." "There's some new plays I need to learn, and..." "But we had plans - it was date night." "You had plans." "* * *" "Keep that coming, my man!" "I hate these places." "A friend told me I should get out more often." "You know, be more social." "With a rack like that, you don't exactly look" "Like you have a hard time making friends." "Wow." "If you were hitting on me, that's not a good open." "Sorry." "It's been a long time since I've, uh..." " Fifteen years." " Fifteen years?" "!" "Jeez!" "Fifteen years ago, I was like still..." "Okay, I'm going to stop you" "Before you tell me how old you were when Kurt Cobain died." "Who's Kurt Cobain?" "Look at you!" "I asked for that." "Let's start over." "Let me buy you a drink." " They're real." " What?" "!" "Jesus, where have you been, in prison?" "In a relationship that didn't involve boobs!" "Yeah, me too!" "Awesome!" " Boom!" " Boom!" " Boobs!" " Boobs!"

"[Car horn]" "Hey, slow..." "Jesus Christ!" "I'm not a grudge fuck!" "Where'd you go?" "Where were you just now?" "Usually you look into my eyes, it's my favorite thing." "It's when I feel most connected to you." "I'm sorry, it..." "Are you still made about the pizza guy?" "God no, I'm sorry for being such a prick." "No - it was all me." "All the pheremones, and the brownies, and..." "The sausage fumes, I just lost my head." "Look, this was a trainwreck night." " Let's forget it happened." " Definitely." "[Text message tone]" "I think I know something that might make it better." "There's something I need to tell you." " Corey..." " Jon..." " Will you marry me?" " I think I'm bisexual." "What?" "You're... wait." "You think you're - oh honey, why would you think that?" "What did you do?" "It's more of a "who."" "You cheated?" "!" "Calm down, it's not like I planned it, it just..." "Happened, and she was there..." "SHE?" "!" "You put your... in a..." "There is no way, there is no fucking way." "Come on, you know I dated girls in high school." "Bullshit!" "I date girls in high school." "We watched Buffy," "And french-kissed posters of James Van Der Beek." "Yeah, well on my dates, we didn't watch Buffy!" "How are you bi?" "You're like the least curious person I've ever known." "Would you just listen?" "No, I have literally no idea who you are right now!" "And who is this woman, that you allegedly fucked?" "And does she know you're gay?" "Or maybe, like..." "flexi-sexual." "I'm not sure yet!" "I don't want to define it!" "Oh Jesus, no, that would mean you'd have to make" "A commitment!" "And there it is - you have been pressuring me," "And nagging me, and suffocating me..." "So this is my fault?" "I turned you bi?" "I was upset!" "I was drunk, and upset, and I had... these feelings!" "Oh God no, feelings!" "And these rings, and the pizza guy, and you're always busy..." "Woah... rings?" "You knew?" " Baby, I love you..." " Don't touch me." "You knew I was going to propose to you." "And you did this." "I've got to hand it to you, mister." "That is the most creative fucking way" "I've ever heard of avoiding a proposal." "They are going to love this at the gay bridal shop!" "I was scared, okay?" "I found them and freaked out." "Everything just started closing in on me!" "Oh God, save me from happiness!" "Christ, I'm only 27!" "I'm not ready to become my goddamn parents," "That's not what I want." "Then what do you want?" "I don't know!" "I don't have to fucking know every moment!" "Every second of the rest of my doesn't need" "To be planned out already!" "Well maybe you should try it some time!" "If you planned harder, maybe you wouldn't be some..." "Part-time, low-rent gym trainer," "Who tripped and fell into some pussy" "On the most important night of his life!" " Yeah, maybe it is." " What?" "The most important night of my life, the night I woke up." "To your love of seafood?" " To you." " Just go!" "You want out, you get your wish!" "I'm going." "Good - and take that AC/DC bullshit with you." "And don't come back until you're gay again!" "Don't hold your breath." "[Door slams, rings clattering]" "[Alarm clock]" "* * *" "Asshole!" "Come in..." "[Doorbell]" "Come innnnn..." "Come innnnnn!" "Veggie Delight?" "More like veggie despair!" "Oh." "No brownies this time, huh?" "I gave them up." "They're bad for me." "I'm on a cleanse." "Pizza cleanse?" "I want in on that." "[Sniffling]" "I'm sorry, I'm a bit of a mess." "No, don't worry - this one's on me." "Oh, you don't have to do that." "No, I know." "But I want to." "I mean, hey - we're practically buds," "It's the least I can do." "I do deserve a break today." "Bon appetit!" "Feel better, okay?" "I always hated that douche." "For two years, you've been telling me," ""Jon is so great!" "You should totally marry him!"" "And now he's a douche?" "Whatever!" "Fuckin' "Jon."" "J-O-N." "Where's his fucking "H?"" "Never date a guy who doesn't know how to spell" "His own name." "You loved him, and you know it." "Don't remind me!" "What?" "Are you eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" "Here we go." "I am allergic!" "You're not allergic, you just hate it, there's a difference." "If I get around peanut butter, I'm going to swell up" "Bigger than Precious!" "Crisis averted." "I just wanted it to be perfect." "The white picket fence... the onyx dishwasher..." "The brushed aluminum gourmet vintage melon baller." "You know what?" "Love is a delusional state." "Oh God, dial it back, Black Swan." "Life is a delusional state." "It's been a week, he should be home by now." "I didn't actually think he was going to leave." " When you kicked him out?" " Shut up." "If he doesn't come back, I'm moving in!" "Fine, okay, whatever." "* * *" "I'm so glad you made it in, finally." "It's been two months!" "I thought you moved." "I don't even know where to begin!" "I mean, it's been..." "such a whirlwind!" "A good whirlwind, I hope?" " I met this guy..." " Excellent, tell me." "Yeah" " I took your advice!" "I went out with the girls, and we ended up at a bar." "He was so awkward, you know?" "And like... cute!" "Muscly!" "And, um..." "He was really into me." "Melissa, how did that make you feel?" "Amazing." "You don't know what it's like to be alone, and then..." "Suddenly be wanted." "Well, tell me about him." "He's younger." "Okay." "He's a personal trainer." "He's an athlete." "An amazing cook!" "God, he makes the most unbelievable brownies!" "Corey?" "Corey?" " Corey!" " Hi." "Corey." " Yes!" " Melissa." "Hi." "I was, I was... just lost in a thought, for a moment." "Boy, this guy sounds like quite a catch!" "You sure there's not someone else in his life?" "Oh, no" " God, believe me!" "We talked, about everything." "He's very open." "Actually, the other night he told me he'd" "Been with both boys and girls." "So he's bisexual?" "Um, he didn't want to call it that, no." "He said something like..." ""sexy flexible?"" ""Flexi-sexual?"" " Yeah!" " Oh!" "That didn't bother you?" " No!" " Just a little?" " No!" " Just a little bit annoying?" "Why would it bother me?" "I mean, we all have a history." "I experimented with girls in college." "Now you're not - we'll get back to that." "Now, you're not worried that he's, in the future," "Just going to up and leave you for another guy?" "I'm not worried about anything." "For the first time in my life." "He's really into me." "And I'm really into him." "That's all I need for now." "You even said: stop obsessing!" "And live in the moment!" "That's really good advice." " I like my boobs now!" " That's great." "Yeah, because, um, well..." " He's a boob man!" " No he's not... is he?" "He loves boobs!" "He's probably an ass man, too." "I told her I was glad I could help." "She needs me, she's so vulnerable." "She needs me for support." "You just want to pump her for information." "Okay, okay, I'll refer her to another therapist." "I'll be out of town until they break up." "What if they don't?" "So, who is this guy?" "Online Love Match." "I have three matches!" "Three?" "I'm surprised!" "You're surprised I could get three matches?" "I'm surprised there are three guys using onine dating." "The guys at the cafe all use that smartphone gaydar." "Oh, Grindr?" "I don't need Grindr." "I have three smoking'-hot guys on the hook already." "When are you seeing all these smokin'-hot guys?" "Today." "What, all at once?" "You're not that limber!" "Not all at once." "I've scheduled them in 30 minute increments, 10 minutes apart." "The site recommended it," "They said it's very..." " Crazy!" " Efficient." "I just want to kiss someone on my birthday!" "One of these guys has to work out." "Which reminds me - what do you want for your birthday?" "I mean, besides cock." "What?" "It sounds so wrong coming out of your mouth." "So, who's the first guy?" "25." "Gorgeous." "Male model." "Oh, you should see his picture." "Very glamorous." "Liberace took that photo of me by his pool" "At his villa in Palm Springs." "Your profile said you were 25?" "Yes, I was 25!" "When Liberace took that photo." "Of course, now I deal in antiques." "You do like antiques, don't you, Corey?" "I... am not sure." "Oh, well you should, dear boy!" "I mean, just today, I took in a fine Chippendale" "That's centuries old!" "Of course, the drawers are sagging a bit," "And the poor, dried-out knobs!" "Practically falling off." "But there's nothing quite as satisfying" "As spending hour after hour" "Lovingly polishing old wood." "Working the moisture into those musty cracks." "So, when your profile said "twice the man..."" "Identical twins." "Yeah." "We'll have you coming and going." "Well, fellas..." "Plural." "This is a lot to take in." "Oh, don't worry." "We'll make it fit." "Ouch." "Wow, you're really great." "This is a relief - to go out with a normal guy" "Who actually looks like his profile picture." "Oh my God!" "Tell me about it." "So, Kyle - tell me about yourself." "I saw on your profile you have a son?" "I do." "Would you like to meet him?" "Sure" " I mean, definitely, yeah, at some point." "Well, I mean I ordinarily like to take it slow," "But I don't know, this just feels..." "Right." "Why wait?" "Corey, meet Gary." "Gary?" "Are you gonna be my new daddy?" "I'm a growing boy, and I need a strong male role model." "Wow, okay, so you're a puppeteer!" "That is so great." "Puppeteer?" "It's happening again." "He's just like all the others." "He doesn't think I'm real." "You know how ANGRY I get when people don't think I'm real..." "I get all STABBY!" "[Gary screaming]" "No, Corey's not like all the others!" "Are you, Corey?" "No no, I'm not like all the others!" "[Screaming]" "This has been really nice - you're so good with Gary." "I'll call you!" "Dammit." "He was so cute." "Do you suppose I could get conjugal visits?" "With him, or the puppet?" "I am officially destined to be alone forever." "For the love of - would you give me your phone?" "Gimme!" "Is your password still "Dongmaster82?"" "Wow, just tell the whole world, why don't you?" "Here you go." "Welcome to the 21st Century." "Have fun!" "Have fun with what?" "Oh!" "Oh..." "Maybe... yes!" "Ooh, a fireman!" "I'm 200 feet away from a fireman!" "I bet I got some matches around here somewhere." "Do not set fire to my cafe!" "Okay, buzzkill." "No, no... ooh, maybe." "No, no!" "Oh, yeah... oh my God, yes!" "What?" "It's him, it's him!" "He's gay!" " And single." " Who?" "I have to go, he's 100 feet away, on the move!" "* * *" "I zigged, when I should've zagged." "Did you catch the fireman?" "Better!" "What's better than a fireman?" "A pizza guy." "Did you hit your head or something?" "It says he's looking for" ""Friendship, love, or whatever."" "That's very specific." "Hey" " I know this guy!" "Pete!" "Triple Venti soy caramel macchiato!" "He comes to Thursday night Poetry Night." "He's a great read." " Well I love poetry!" " You?" "Since when?" "Since... what time is it now?" "People look at me like being a lesbian is a fashion craze," "When being a lesbian is my TRUTH!" "I lick vagina, and I LOVE IT!" "[Bongos]" "My aching sadness echoes endlessly," "Like the DRIP, DRIP, DRIP of the raindrops flow." "My bitter tears bleed, down in the puddles" "Of the cruel, cracked streets!"

" Yeah" "Oh man, she's really cool." "She taught me how to read." "My first book was "Our Bodies, Ourselves."" "Where are you going?" "And now, everybody, here's Pete!" "Here's Pete, everybody!" "Thank you." "[Snapping]" "There is a place beyond desire," "Beyond wanting and need." "We join, man to man, hand to hand," "Strength to strength." "Forever in you, forever in me." "Thank you." "[Snapping]" "YES!" "[Corey claps, then snaps]" "I've never seen you at this thing before!" "Are you a poetry lover?" "Well, I... not exactly." "I'm a little behind on my reading." "Why, what's the last thing you read?" ""Poor Little Bitch Girl," by Jackie Collins." " So you're into the classics." " Definitely." "I'm just a lit nerd, I've always got my face in a book." " I even write a little bit." " Nice!" "Not what you expected?" "Well, when it comes to you," "I'm learning to expect the unexpected." "My uncle actually owns the pizzeria." "Once his heart started going bad, I had to help out." "Besides, grad school's a little pricey." "I had no idea." "Hey, do you think you'd want to go to..." "[Phone ringing]" "Oh, duty calls!" "I've actually gotta run." "But, I'd love to talk some more sometime." "Yeah - you know where to find me." "Sure do!" "Alright, I'll see you soon." "I'm..." "Corey." " She's pretty." " Yeah, she was." "What's her name?" "Ask me a question I can answer." "Um, your name?" "So, you bag that poetic Paisano yet?" "Who, Pete?" "No." "I..." "He wouldn't be interested in me, not really." "Are you kidding me?" "I saw the way he looked at you." "Yeah, and you also saw what happened with Jon!" "How do I know this guy's even gay?" "He's on Grindr!" "He's gay enough." "Get on that thing and grind!" "So, the divorce is finally taken care of." "So how are you doing with the, um... boyfriend?" "I'm surpised I can even walk." "What?" "I pulled a hamstring." "We went hiking." "How, um... how is he?" "What do you mean?" "What do I mean?" "I mean..." "I mean, how is he with... all of this." "Oh, well - he's the best I've ever had." "He is like... one of those army knives." "Of sexual positions." "I meant more feelings, but..." "I literally had no idea some of these sexual positions" "Even existed." "The Tokyo Swirl." "The Slap Chop!" "God, that was a scary one!" "The Bird of Paradise." "One-Legged King Pigeon." "From the side!" "I..." "I don't need to..." "Downward-Facing Dong." "One time, we even did it on my desk." "Desk?" "I know, right?" "I'm starting to get a little bit of a migraine." "[Text message tone]" "Ooh, I think that's him!" "Speak of the devil." "Oh, he wants tacos." "[Text message tone]" "No, wait - hot dogs!" "He can never decide!" "Yeah, listen " "I am going to be really booked-up" "For the next few weeks." "There's a... conference." "So my colleague is going to fill in for me." "All you have to do is call her." "Her number's right here." "And she's going to take great care of you." "Well, I'll try." "But after being with you," "Anybody else is a pretty poor substitute." "Looks like your ball's hurting." "You don't know the half of it." "Ahh!" "Woah, collision!" "Oh, the humanity!" "Man, I did not expect to see you here." "Yeah, obviously." "I sent your goodies flying everywhere." "So sorry - wow, this is a lot of pretzels!" "204 - not that I've counted." "Two hundred and...?" "Four." "Each time, every time." "If there's less than that, I take them back." "What if there's more?" "Just hold tight" " I'll grab another bag." "I'll be right back." "I just lost count - what number am I on?" "78." "112." "Down the hatch, 78!" "[Grindr message tones]" "Popular!" "Yeah, you know me, Mr. Love." "It's probably just my sister punking me again." "I've actually met a lot of cool people on that." "Mainly I just use it to connect with friends," "And people I care about." "What about you?" "Do you hook up often?" "Me?" "Uh, me?" "You know, like once or twice a..." " day?" " decade." "Day-cade." " Yeah right!" " What about you?" "I guess I'm just a little bit of a romantic." "I just want to allow things to happen." "Besides, love can't be planned, right?" "Right?" "Right!" "Me too." "Planning, pshh!" "I don't even believe in that." "Like for example, my birthday's coming up" "In a few weeks," "I'm super casual about it." "I'm not even going to celebrate it." "Oh, come on!" "You have to celebrate!" "Nope." "Well, if it's not too forward, do you want to do" "Something together?" "Please tell me you don't have a puppet." " What?" " Or a twin." "I'm an only child, and puppets kind of give me the creeps." "Me too... now." "You're sure you're really gay?" "I checked... really thoroughly." "See, you're funny, too!" "Why aren't you married, or taken," "Or being ravaged by 100 guys a night?" "I doubt I could keep up with 100, but I don't know." "The first day or two would be fun!" " But after that..." " Shut up." " You want the truth?" " Yeah." "I just really haven't had time." "My uncle requires a lot of care." "Relationships can just be so..." " complicated." " Oh yeah." "I'll give you a dollar if you can catch this in your mouth." "Bring it on!" "Ahh, no!" "So, Bill was pouring the rum," "And I said to him," ""Well yes, I would like a little Captain in me."" "So he rolled me over, bent me over that big space chair," "And we went at it - warp speed ahead!" "Completely out of the blue?" "Completely out of the blue." "Some of the best times I've ever had" "Are completely out of the blue." "You've got to roll with the changes." "Leap before you look sometimes!" "Bone a spaceman or two!" "So, what's my penance?" "Millie, we've been over this." "You know I'm not a priest." "Besides, there's no crime in giving yourself over" "To the love of... a starship captain... commander." "All of them!" "That's a relief." "You should hear what I did to Dr. Spork!" "Wow!" "All this for lunch?" "My cleaning lady's a klepto." "Sure you're not just addicted to work?" "Hey, I'll do the analyzing around here, mister!" " Where are we going?" " That's a surprise." "I'm not super-big on surpises." "You're going to like this one." "Wow... so this is lunch?" "It's no fancy restaurant, I know." "But I wanted to share this with you." "Oh God, It's beautiful!" "Epic!" "And I cannot stand that word, but this is truly..." "Epic." "It's my refuge." "It makes me feel centered." "No matter what's going on," "Everything's going to be alright." "I need to feel that." "Look, I know you've been hurt, and I don't want to..." "That was all in the past." "I was with my ex for a long time." "I knew it was over before he did." "When a man loves you, it's right there in his eyes." "When he looks at you," "You can tell you're like breathing to him." "Hey, let's chow down!" "I've got some great food for us." "* * *" "So..." "Yeah." "I should probably get going." "Yeah." "I might want to be too..." "* * *" "A three-layer birthday ice cream cake" "That says, "Happy Birthday Corey."" "Big old letters!" "No, no, that's "Corey," with an E-Y." "Okay, Friday?" "That's perfect," "Yes, I'm sure Corey's going to be very surprised." "Look at you, the hot mess express!" "Yep!" "I'm so proud of you!" "You've come so far from the tight-ass lunatic" "I grew up with." "I'm pretty much Mr. Adventure now." "Don't get hung up on labels." "Friendship, love, or..." "whatever." "Excellent!" "Which reminds me..." "I want to talk to you about the birthday schedule." "I need you to be out of the house midnight" "The night before," "So I can get my birthday kiss from Pete." "The following day..." "Yeah, I'll read it over." "Please initial where the Xs are." " Freak!" " I was kidding!" "I doubt it." "I emailed you a copy." "See you next week!" "Corey!" "Hi, do you have a minute?" "Hi Melissa - no, I'm on my way out." "It'll just take five minutes." "I didn't have anyone else to turn to," "And you're the only one that would understand." "Come on in." "I'm sorry to corner you like this, it's just" "I called that referral you gave me!" "And she wouldn't understand!" "It's my boyfriend." "I think..." "He's cheating." "This is the, uh..." "bisexual guy?" " "Flexi."" " Really?" "Still?" "That's okay." "Why do you think he's being unfaithful?" "Um, I don't know if unfaithful is the word." "Um, I don't know exactly HOW TO PUT IT INTO WORDS!" " I just..." " Okay, slow down." "Take it easy." "Tell me what he did." "We've been arguing, and he keeps making these excuses" "To not be with me." "He just looks at me differently." "Jon!" "What?" "How did you know I was here?" "I..." "I saw your minivan." "I'm sorry about earlier." "Can we talk?" "Well... yeah!" "Corey, thank you, so much." "I didn't mean to take advantage of you," "I appreciate you listening." "I really appreciate our friendship." " Who died?" " I'll take a shot of whiskey." "Why will no one just order coffee?" "I've tried your coffee." "Speaking of which, I need to talk to you." "I'm like, having some cash flow issues."

"Hell, I slept in the kitchen the first year." "Health Department finally kicked me out." "Why?" "I did this one babe on the counter." "Health inspector walked in" "Right before I ground her mocha."

"You won't." "Jesus, Corey, that's really unethical." "Yeah?" "Tell me a little something about ethics." "Don't!" "I can't help it." "I feel like I can't breathe without you." "Use your inhaler." "You always forget." "Sometimes you don't appreciate what you have" "Until you lose it." "You!" "I didn't appreciate what I had with you!" "I didn't realize." " You do now?" " Yeah." "No matter how scared I was," "No matter how much I wanted or needed," "I should've never done anything to hurt you." "I told you not to come back, unless..." "[Moaning]" "I have missed this!" "That was a mistake." "A mistake?" "Are you kidding me?" "!" "This was fucking perfect!" "You felt it too, I know you did." "It wasn't you." "I just need time."
