"It's no big deal." "If it's no big deal, why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Because I knew you weren't crazy about me taking the job to begin with." "So I would have found out when?" "When I-I called one night and you guys were doing a dueton the answering machine?" "Marin,you met her." "She's perfectly nice and married." "Then you should have told me." "Well,we did tell you." ""We?" "" Wait,what is going on here?" "What's going on here is, here we're pretending to be this loving couple with this other loving couple." "We're not pretending,marin." "No,but I feel like I don't even really know you and she does." "You hate fatty meat, you -- you -- you crack jokes, you don't even tell me when you're sharing an apartment with another woman." "Y-y-you've become a "we"with her, and I-I'm not sure I know who we are anymore." "I don't think you should go." "You could get murdered or get your passport stolen or get malaria." "Not in china." "We're a very clean people." "Celia,you're just afraid to let the boy go." "Thank you,dad." "I-I knew you'd think it was a good idea." "Good idea?" "It's crazy." "How you gonna afford this?" "I'm glad you asked." "See,ts is where you -- my parents and my step-parent -- come in." "I'm offering,for a limited time only, sponsorship for different legs of my trip." "It's like a walk-a-thon,only I'm flying,mostly, and the good cause is." "me!" "I like your moxie." "Thank you,mom mai." "Can I sign you up for,say, the new delhi to new zealand portion?" "Hell,no." "Okay." "well,how about the,uh,new york to new jersey leg." "Yeah,that's justa bus ticket." "I couldn't afford a ticket to the couch right now." "Buzz cleaned out my savings account." "You stole her money?" "No,I-it was a loan." "Which he's going to pay me back with interest." "Of course I'm gonna pay you back." " What's the big deal?" " Cleaned me out." "Doesn't sound like a loan." "Hey,listen,I don't think this is police business." " Don't stick your nose in too far." " Don't get so defensive." "What are you defending?" "I'm never getting out of this town." "I don't want to fight about this." "Neither do I." "If you really don't want me to do this anchorage thing,I won'T." "Oh,don't make me be that girl,jack." "What girl?" "The girl who ties you down." "Ugh,this is disgusting." "The truck started smoking a couple of miles down the road." "Is there a service station mething?" "Oh,uh,not this late." "Uh,stay the night." "We can have someone look at it in the morning." " Are you sure?" " Yeah." "Of course." "Thank you." "Jack to the rescueagain,huh?" "I really appreciate this." "Of course." "Jim was supposed to get the truck serviced, but I guess that was something else he "blocked." "Jim is right here." "Sorry." "He's not a great drinker." "Or he is,depending on how you define it,I guess." "Hey,where's the coconut cake?" "you threw out my damn cake?" "see,see,here's the thing." "It was so good that,uh, we were afraid that we'd eat the whole thing." "Oh,look." "This sidel stil looks good." "If you hated it,you should have just said so." "I'm so sorry." "You're up." "I can't sleep." "Sam." "I'm sorry about the ring." "I so appreciate that you got it for me, and I did really like it." "It was twinkly." "and had those little diamonds on the side." "Baguettes." "And that one day I wore it, it stopped being someone else's and." "started being mine." "I really miss it." "I miss my ring." "Well,maybe it'll go back to the lost and found, and I can buy it for you again." "This is new york,sam." "Things don't come back to you." "They get pawned." "Whoa,don't hit me." "Patrick." "what are you doingin my closet?" "I'm hiding from greta." "She wants to stay up all night and tell ghost stories while we tickle each other's arms." "Well,you can't hide here." "Just give me 10 minutes,okay?" "She looked like she was getting groggy." "If you don't like her, why don't you just break up with her?" "***N't,okay?" "I tried the slow fade, the girl-on-girl thing,you know." "T-the what?" "It's a pretty advanced technique." "Anyway,nothing worked!" "Did you try just sitting her down and saying," ""we need to talk,"and telling her the truth?" "No." "Hey." "maybe you could talk to her for me." "Patrick." "get out." " Gotcha!" " Oh,boy." "Jack's checking outthe engine." "He's pretty goodat that stuff." "I'm really embarrassed." "No,come on." "I shouldn't let him drink." "He's really moody." "You know,he says it's part of his tortured artist soul." "I think he's depressed." "That must not be easy to deal with." "Hasn't made for the easiest marriage." "Sometimes he can be so optimistic, and then it all just gets dark." " And the coconut cake - oh,I am so sorry about that." " No,no.It's...it...it's lousy." " Yeah." "I just " " I mean,I don't have the heart to tell him." "Did you know he was like this when you married him?" "I guess I thought it was just a phase." "But it got worse when we moved up here for my work." "I mean,jim wanted to go sculpting france." "We had to make a choice." "He still resents it." "I should have made him go." "I hope you don't mind me talking to you about all this." "I mean,I-I know that you're a relationship coach." "I don't mind." "You know,I was,uh,watching you at dinner, and I thought you seem like a happy couple." "Really happy?" "Not anymore." "I mean,we're not happy like you and jack." "Yeah,I think it might be the fan belt." "Uh,I might havea spare one I can rig upwhen it's light." "Everything'sbetter in the light." "Hey,this your work?" "Yeah." "I'm gonna drive in the morning to a gallery over in sitka." "Haven't sold much in the last few months." "Yeah,it must be tough." "Yeah,well,it doesn't make you feel like you got the cojones when your wife's the big bread winner,you know?" "Julia seems pretty understanding." "It's not her problem,is it?" "Yeah,I guess not." "Hey,I like this one." "Yeah,it's oneof my favorites." "How much is it?" "Two." "I'll take it." " Yeah?" " Yeah" "What the hell,I'll give it to you for $1,500." "Oh,you meant thousand?" "Just kidding." "This better not be bad news." "Bad news always comes at 2:00 A.M." " oh,geez." " I gave you a week,buzz." "Now want the rest of my money." "So my loan was to pay off your bookie?" "Mai,let me explain." "You knew,buzz." "You knew if you ever gamble again." "That's it." "I'm leaving." "I hope they're gonna be okay." "Me too." "I want you to take the lecturing job,jack." "Really?" "It's two days a week,and you're good at it." "And julia's really cool." "And I don't ever want to regret not letting you go." "I'll miss you." "I'm right here." " this is weird." " Yeah" "What the hell?" "I left buzz." "Hey!" "Who is it?" "You lose a ring?" "Oh,my god." "You have my ring?" "Who are you?" "Medallion number 15p3."

"Someone else lost a ringin your cab yesterday?" "This is new york,buddy." "You can't trust anyone." "I try and tell him thatall the time." "It's a rectangle with,uh,all these little edgesthat make it twinkly." "Facets." "They're called facets." "Oh,and it has baguettes." "Those are the little diamonds on the side." "And it's a little dingedon the inside of the band, but that's okay." "I love it anyway." "Here you go." "Oh,thank you!" "Thank you so much!" "Can I give you a reward?" "Nah.All part of the job."

"Patrick went out with ivan last night at like 1:00 in the morning, and they never came back." "I kept making toast so I wouldn't think about where he might be or what hot girl he might be with." "I-I'm sure he's not with a girl." "Promise?" "Well,no,I-I can't promise." "But I doubt it." "I just like him so much." "So much." "Like,crazy like him." "That's a lot of like." "I know,right?" "Sorry." "I know you guys used to be engaged." "But we're not anymore." "It's fine." "Then why do you still wear that engagement ring?" "Habit,I guess." "No,I hear you."
