Party of Five s02e01 Episode Script

Closing up! Tell your folks to start feeding you again, Will.
It's your last free meal.
Joe fired me today.
Said there were only four days left to the only summer before the only senior year I'd ever have, and I should enjoy myself.
That bastard! Well, you show him.
Don't you enjoy a single minute.
Can I help refill the salt shakers, Bay? Claudia, I thought someone drove you home hours ago.
Obviously not.
So can I help? No.
Go bug someone else.
Bailey, are you working or gabbing? Go bug Julia.
So, tomorrow, huh? God! I can't think of anything more romantic than a woman waiting for her man to return from overseas.
Sarah, he's not coming back from war.
Just summer vacation.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
Charlie, what is this? I'm picking a band for the wedding.
Pick again.
Pick again.
Aren't you just dying to see him? He'll probably have an accent.
He'll probably say "Hello, darling.
It's me.
" CLAUDIA: Jule! Claudia, hasn't anyone taken you home yet? God! Aren't you just dying to see him? ["HAVA NAGILA" PLAYS.]
The Shecky Wasserman Band.
Care for a hora, Bailey? Pass.
WILL: You know what.
That would be great for the bonfire.
We could blast it and dance in a circle around the flame.
It would be kind of pagan.
What do you say? Oh.
I forgot.
You're not going to the bonfire.
What? Ah, I'm not in the mood.
Forget that it's an end-of-summer, last-night-before-school tradition.
Two years is not a tradition.
But if you had somebody to go with Will.
What about the hot dogs and the illegal beer and the marshmallows-- Hey! [SOUL MUSIC PLAYING.]
[SNAPS.]
[SNAPS.]
Man with a plan, y'all He's a-working the chain Watch him sweat He's better than The rest KIRSTEN: Of course there's gonna be some slow tunes.
Some Sinatra, okay? I am too writing this down.
[DOORBELL RINGING.]
Mom Mom, I gotta go.
Mom, I mean it.
Someone's at the door.
No, I'm not using it as an excuse to get you off the phone.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, I love you too, Mom.
[BEEP.]
Occasionally, I'd like to murder you, but I'm hoping that will pass.
Coming.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Oh.
Hi.
Hello.
Does Charlie Salinger still live here? Yeah, he does.
Can I help you with something? Um I need to talk to him.
Is he home? No.
He's, um He's working tonight at his dad's place.
Oh, no.
No.
Is there something--? That's okay.
It's just-- Could you maybe tell him I stopped by? Sure.
Uh knowing your name might make that easier.
Ohh! Right.
Sure.
I'm PamelaRush.
Charlie and I were, umfriends a while back.
[.]
So do you want to leave a number or something? No, that's okay.
Well, is there a message? I'll just be in touch.
I'm sorry to have troubled you.
Really.
No trouble at all.
[THE BODEANS' "CLOSER TO FREE" PLAYS.]
Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free Closer to free [RADIO PLAYS ROCK MUSIC.]
Sothis bonfire thing sounds cool.
I-- I've never been to one.
Is it, like, a couple thing, or do people just kind of go on their own? Why, you thinking of bringing someone? Oh Maybe.
Well, if you do, tell him not to bring any booze to the beach, because last year the cops made this huge stink.
Oh, right.
Ah, I'll probably go alone, anyway.
I like doing that sometimes you know.
Going to these things by myself.
Yeah.
Solo's cool.
Totally.
I think being alone gets a bad rap.
God, you are so right.
So, um maybe we could go alone together.
[CHUCKLES.]
What? You're funny.
I am? Yeah, the way you say things.
"Go alone together.
" What? Do I have something on my face? We're here.
Oh.
Well, thanks for the lift.
Thanks for all the lifts this summer.
Sure.
Oh, hey.
You got to jiggle it.
[SEAT BELT RELEASES.]
There you go.
Thanks.
Good night.
Good night.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
Well, who is she? How do you know her? How well do you know her? We were friends.
What kind of friends? Charliehave you or have you not seen this woman naked? It so happens I have.
What? [LAUGHS.]
Me and a hundred other guys.
She was a figure model in the fine arts department.
When I was a sophomore, I drew her.
So you two didn't, like have a thing? Oh, no.
We had a thing.
A real brief thing.
It lasted maybe a month, two.
It was, what four years ago.
I haven't seen her since.
Who knows why she stopped by.
I don't.
Pamela Rush.
Huh.
[SPLASH.]
I was thinking about buying a bike.
Well, you could probably get a good discount.
I meanbecause you work at a bike shop.
No.
A bike.
A motorcycle.
Oh.
Well, you should.
Cool.
Yeah, there's some, uh, trails up in the headlands not a lot of people know about.
I've never been on a motorcycle.
It's easy.
All you got to do is hold on.
I'd probably throw you completely off balance.
You might.
I could handle it.
So, uh you want to go with me to look you know, for bikes? Maybe tomorrow sometime? Uh, I can't Tomorrow, I can't.
Whatever.
[EXHALES.]
Griffin, it's gonna get harder, you know, to do this.
To meet.
Well, because of school starting up again and everything.
Yeah.
I guess.
I guess so.
I guess things are gonna change.
[.]
I'm kind of sorry about it.
[SIGHS.]
Do you know what those ones are there? The pink ones? No, me neither.
It's weird.
All those times sitting in a garden, I still don't know what to call anything.
How many times have you seen this movie, Will? I keep discovering stuff I hadn't noticed before.
It's very rich in that way.
It's a $100-million comic strip.
What's your point? Let's go.
Let's go see something else.
No! Umno, no.
I can't get mentally prepared to see one movie and then just go see another.
Hey! Hey, Will.
Bay, you remember my cousin, Sharon.
Yeah, hi.
And this is Holly.
I'm Holly.
BAILEY: Hi.
I've heard almost nothing about you.
Same here.
So So, you go to Grant, huh? Right.
Right, I go to Grant.
Let's see.
Uh, I'm a senior.
I I'm applying to colleges.
I have to take my SATs.
Let's see.
What else do you have to know about me? I'm-- Kind of rude.
Look, I'm gonna go.
Okay, I got some stuff I have to do.
You shouldn't have done this to me.
I'm sorry, we're closed.
I must have forgotten to lock-- Charlie.
Pamela.
[PAMELA CHUCKLES.]
Hey! God, this is so weird seeing you again.
I mean, uh, Kirsten told me that you stopped by.
Is she your wife? Fiancee.
Oh.
That's nice, Charlie.
Yeah.
So, what's going on with you? I mean you look great.
Thanks.
Yeah, I'm good.
I'm okay.
[SIGHS.]
Not real great.
You're getting worse.
I have a problem.
And I thought I could take care of it myself, but I can't.
And I'm sorry for coming to you, but-- No.
Come on.
Come on.
It's Wow.
[LAUGHS QUIETLY.]
Wow, look at him.
He's yours? Spencer.
His name is Spencer.
Spencer Salinger Rush.
Huh.
Uh Don't take this the wrong way, but, umI didn't think I meant that much to you.
You didn't.
He's your son.
Right.
Come on.
Give me a break.
No.
No.
Please don't get angry, Charlie.
I mean, I can explain.
We weren't seeing each other anymore, and I just didn't think at the time-- Get the hell out of here.
Charlie-- There is no way.
No way! [.]
Kirsten.
KRISTEN [ON PHONE.]
: You're kidding me.
Well, I mean, it's that time of year, but we're getting through it.
I mean, it's amazing.
We're really doing well.
Look at him.
[LAUGHS.]
He's so cute.
Hey! Look who stopped by.
Charlie.
Pamela.
Did you know anything about this little boy? His name's Spencer.
Isn't he adorable? Yeah, he is.
Well, um I'm gonna let you two guys catch up.
I hope I'll see you again.
It would be really nice if Owen had a friend to play with.
Bye.
See you.
I thought maybe if you saw him, you would believe me.
This is your son, Charlie.
He is not-- He is not my son.
How can you be so sure? You and I did what it takes to make one of these three or four times a day for two months solid, if I remember correctly.
Yeah.
Four years ago.
Usually, it's tradition to let the father know when the little test comes back positive, or the baptism, or the delivery or the circumcision, or whatever the hell it is you do! Oh, come on.
Like you would have been there for any of those things.
You would have told me to get an abortion.
And I didn't want an abortion.
I wanted this baby.
[SIGHS.]
And I knew I couldn't count on you.
He's 4 years old.
You and I broke up a little over 4 1/2 years ago.
And there wasn't anybody else.
Do the math, Charlie.
God, I am getting married in nine weeks.
What do you want me to do? I am-- I am not trying to ruin your life.
I'm in trouble.
I got laid off from the secretarial job that I had, and I still have daycare to pay for.
Is this blackmail? Is that what this is? God's sake, Charlie.
I want you out of my house now.
[.]
You are not gonna push me away.
Use the back way out.
I have got this little boy to take care of.
Use the back way.
I'm not gonna go away.
[GATE OPENS.]
[GATE CLOSES.]
Do you think this stuff will make me more attractive to men? Men? What men? You don't know any men.
You know boys.
Oh.
right.
Good point by you.
Thanks for cutting through my question and finding a way to insult me.
I'm sorry.
It's just that, well, I'm getting older now, you know.
I mean, I'm practically in junior high school.
All these things like makeup and stuff, well, they're gonna be important to me.
And I need someone to look up to and someone to answer all my questions.
Claud, I'm sorry.
I should be more sensitive, okay? Okay.
Sowhat did you want to know? Can I go to the bonfire with you? No.
The point is: you hurt her feelings.
No, Will.
No, that's not the point.
That's not even remotely the point.
The point is: you had no right ruining a perfectly good movie by springing some stupid date on me.
Oh, gee, how could you ever forgive me? I merely get one of the cutest, funniest, smartest girls I know to go out with you.
Why don't you just hang me by my fingers and shoot me? Oooh, what a miserable friend! I have better things to dookay? I do.
I haven't played football in over a year.
I'm way behind on my conditioning.
Right.
Right.
So you'd rather do bench presses and squat thrusts than to make out with Holly Blanchard? You need help, man.
Yeah, but not from you.
Goodbye.
Come on, Bay.
We both know what's going on with you.
Shut up, Will.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Weren't you leaving? Coming! Hey, Justin! How you doing, man? How was London? Great.
Great.
Cool.
Come on in.
Julia! This girl is great, Bay.
She's really great.
I'm ignoring you.
She could turn you around.
So, hey, man.
So London was cool? I imagine if you're into history, it would be very Historical.
Yeah.
Julia! Yeah.
Yeah.
Lots of old, uh, tombs and stuff.
Julia! Justin! Bay, Bay, come on.
Just give it a try.
Why? Bailey.
What? What? What? Name one thing that is so great about dating.
All right, name two things.
MAN: I did that too.
What? Walked around with a picture in my pocket for the first few years like I couldn't believe I had a kid.
You mind if I? He's got his dad's eyes, that's for sure.
You must hear that all the time, right? [ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
I figured I need a female opinion, you know? Yeah.
I know.
That's important.
So you'll be honest? I'll be honest.
Okay.
I really appreciate you doing this for me.
[QUIETLY.]
My pleasure.
Uhso what's this all for, anyway? Some kind of big family thing? No.
Actually I kind of have a date.
What? Yeah.
Will kind of forced me into it.
What's that supposed to mean? I don't know.
He thinks it would be good for me.
He thinks I need it.
What do you think? You think it's stupid? Uh, I don't know.
Are you left behind You're still in Sweden No.
I guess not.
I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen? What do you think? [POP MUSIC PLAYS.]
JUSTIN: That's Westminster Abbey.
So, what exactly do you mean by incredibly boring? That's me and Big Ben.
You didn't do anything? You just worked in the restaurant? That's Windsor Castle.
Pretty much.
That's me after my dad explained the concept of blood sausage.
Ha ha! So how is that possible to be gone so long and miss so little? Any new couples at least? Trafalgar Square.
Not especially.
What's that, um, there on your head? That's a pigeon.
Everybody feeds pigeons in Trafalgar Square.
It's what you do.
Ooh! And what's that there on your shirt? [LAUGHS.]
Oh, my God! I have to get a copy of this.
Yeah, right.
No, I'm serious.
Give me the negatives.
No, no.
Here, here.
You can keep this copy, okay? I'm gonna get this thing blown up poster size.
I-- I'll make a copy.
Why are there twice as many negatives as there are pictures? Huh? Well, what did you do? Like, pull some of these so I wouldn't see them? No, no.
Not exactly.
Who's this girl? Justin? She's no one.
She's Her name's Allison.
She's a girl that I met over there.
Her dad ran the lecture series that my dad did.
We just hung out.
That's all.
We were friends.
We were just friends, Julia.
That's it.
And you did all these things with her.
I mean, that part where she poured paint all over her body and rolled around in all that flour, what was that about, huh? It's art? I hate to break it to you, but that is not art.
I have seen art, and that is not it.
I spent the whole night wondering if regular soap was gonna get all that stuff off her body.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, anyway thanks a lot for coming.
I kind of had to show up.
Denise and I work together.
Oh, yeah? Where? At this coffeehouse in North Beach.
Coffeehouse? Really? You work at a coffeehouse? Trieste.
On Grant.
Why, you know it? Uh, no.
No, it's just a friend of mine used to work at a coffeehouse inNorth Beach.
You should come by sometime.
This is me.
Oh.
Well, I had a nice time.
So did I.
So, we should-- Maybe we should-- [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
You first.
No, you go ahead.
I was just gonna say that maybe we should do this again sometime.
Is that what you were gonna say? Yeah.
[.]
Sure.
That would be great.
So So Anyway Anyway Well good night.
Good night.
Forget it, Mother.
That is so ugly.
Charlie's right here, Mom, and-- What is it, honey? Really? You do? [TUTS.]
Charlie's saying how much he hates Garamond Bold, Mom.
Could you call her back? We want to go with something much less formal.
Please? Mom Mom.
Mom.
I got to call you back.
I got to.
Somebody's at the door.
I know.
I know.
[WINCES.]
I know you don't want to get dragged into these arguments, but, at this point, she's not even listening to me.
Charlie? Here's the thing.
What thing? The thing about Pamela and me.
Why she's here.
What she wants.
Charlie? I love you.
What? And I don't want to hurt you.
Good.
That's good, because I don't want to be hurt.
Spencer, her little boy? She says he's mine, Kirsten.
I think he's my son.
Did you kiss her? No.
Did you want to kiss her? No.
Did you maybe want to decide on a cycle? Shut up.
So you're telling me you spent all that time with her and you never once-- not once-- thought of her as anything except a friend? Never.
Come on, Justin.
I saw her picture.
You saw her negative.
In real life, she's got a hump and a harelip.
Yeah, right.
All right.
Fine.
She doesn't.
But it doesn't matter what she looks like or how smart she is or how funny she is, because what she isn't is you.
And Julia I'm nuts about you.
And you know what else? I don't know what you did every second of this summer.
And that's okay because I trust you.
I trust that you would tell me the important stuff.
Because I'd tell you.
[.]
This is when you say, "It's okay.
I love you.
"The only reason I'm acting like a nutbar is because I can't stand the thought of you with anyone else.
" Let's see.
Well, another pair of overalls.
And, well, definitely another pair of high-tops because, well, my old ones have holes in them and-- Morning.
Kirsten's taking me to get some back-to-school clothes.
I grew half an inch over the summer.
You are? Today? I thought we were gonna go to the stationers.
I rescheduled.
So, what does that mean? I didn't cancel, Charlie, okay? I rescheduled.
Why? Are you punishing me? Is that it? CLAUDIA: Uh-oh.
What's going on? Did you guys have a fight? Never mind.
I don't want to never mind.
Well, I don't want to talk about it.
CLAUDIA: Well, why not? It's complicated, Claud.
Well, what's that supposed to mean? It means you're too young to understand, okay? Hey, you know what, Charlie? I am not a baby.
I am two days away from junior high school.
I get stuff.
Like I get that "Oh, you're too young to understand" is just a lame excuse for not telling me how you screwed something up.
You're right, Claudia.
It is.
[CLAUDIA WALKS AWAY.]
Well? I'm not punishing you, Charlie.
I just I can't go.
Not today.
I can't sit there and pretend I care whether or not the invitation says, "Please share our happiness and joy" or "Please share our joy and happiness," when the fact of the matter is, I'm not experiencing a whole lot of either of those things at the moment.
And I certainly don't have enough to share, okay? Hey.
What are you doing here? Hey.
Same as you.
Picking up my final.
Jeez.
Fifty-six dollars after taxes.
So, um how did it go last night? Last night? Holly.
Oh, that.
Thatwas great.
You know, she's really great.
[SIGHS.]
Is it hard? What? Yeah.
Yeah.
It's kind of hard.
I want it to work.
Yeah.
I know you do.
What? You know what I wish? I wish it could be like you and Justin.
You know, I wish we could just skip ahead four months through all the hard stuff, till everything's easy.
What are you talking about? It's-- It's not easy.
I meanwe've been apart now nine weeks, and that's a long time.
Things can happen to people.
I mean, they can change.
You never know.
Yeah, right.
Stop trying to make me feel better.
You guys are perfect.
You think? Hmm.
Yeah, I I guess.
Definitely.
I should be thankful for what I have.
Me too.
I'm lucky.
[.]
I'll tell you what.
You give me a couple weeks to get, you know, comfortable with everything, and we'll double-date.
You, Justin, me and Holly.
What do you say? Is that a plan? Yeah.
Definitely.
Okay.
I'll see you.
I'll be just a young man Finding my way Chasing after things That a young man sees Hey.
Seeing is believing Hey.
Umdo you think we can take a walk or something? You've ordered already, sweetie, didn't you? It's okay.
My boyfriend already ordered.
Oh.
Um, I don't work here.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I can't see.
I just took my contacts out.
Julia is, uh-- Well, we-- We kind of know each other.
Uh, this is Erica.
Hi.
ERICA: Do you wear contacts? Because I was in New York this summer doing some print stuff, and my agency said I'd get more work with blue eyes instead of brown.
Brown eyes are out.
Oh, no offense or anything.
Are they? So, what? Did you two take some kind of class together thing? Look, um, I gotta go.
You know, this could be a pretty good year for you guys in Division Two.
You know football? Poster of Steve Young above my bed.
Oh, yeah? I'd really love to come see you play.
I mean, I'm a real fan.
Sowhere should we go? I'm sorry.
What? About what? Will told me about you, and And he told me that you were this great person.
And that you were really smart and funny and cute and nice.
Whoa.
I'm guessing this means you didn't have as good a time last night as I did.
No.
I did.
But I don't want to.
That doesn't make much sense, Bailey.
It seems easy, you know? You know, we just We just keep going out and we keep having a great time, because I don't know how a person could go out with you and not have a great time.
[SIGHS.]
And then you start to matter to me.
And And I don't think I want that.
What should I say? Well, you should say that I'm an idiot.
Because Because I'm gonna see you in six months with some other guy, and I am gonna think that that guy is so lucky.
And I am gonna be so jealous.
But But I can'tyet.
I can't.
That's too bad.
Can we just call it a night? Yeah.
I'll walk you back.
[CAR DOOR SLAMS.]
Good night, Holly.
Okay, what if-- What if I gave her money? Like, I got together a bunch of money and I gave it to her on the promise that she would stay away? I meanI could do that.
Would that make you happy? Is that what you want? Don't put this on me.
Don't you dare do that to me! None of this makes me happy.
I know.
I'd just like to know how many children from different mothers am I gonna end up taking care of in my life? Kirsten-- [SIGHS.]
That's not what I mean.
I don't mean that.
I don't mean that.
[SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
[SIGHS.]
I don't know what to tell you, Charlie.
Does it bother me that you're the kind of guy who's had a baby with another woman? You bet it does.
Is it gonna matter between us? I'm gonna try to make it not matter.
But what happens when that woman calls again? Or when that little boy comes over to play with you? Or he needs something from you: money or Or time.
Something you give him and then don't have enough left for Owen or Claudia or me? I mean, what happens then? I don't know.
I honestly don't know.
[.]
CHARLIE: I'm just-- I'm trying to figure out, you know, what's best for a kid.
I mean, it's tough to not have two parents.
ButI mean, on the other hand, a little kid needs some sort of stability, you know? Not have some stranger come in and out of his life.
What are you trying to say, Charlie? I'm just trying to figure it out.
[SIGHS.]
BOY: Whoops.
[CLATTERING.]
He's a little commando.
Yeah? I was too at his age.
Anyway, uhI could help pay for things for him.
Good.
That would help a lot.
But, you know, maybe me coming in and out of his life I mean, that could be exactly what he doesn't need.
I mean Maybe itwould be better.
PAMELA: I understand.
Look at that.
PAMELA: It's his favorite toy.
He could pound on that little hammer till doomsday.
PAMELA: Go figure, right? Right.
Should we talk about the money, Charlie? [BANGING.]
[SIGHS.]
[DISHES CLATTERING.]
Uhmy boss just stepped out.
He's gonna be back any second now.
He doesn't really like it when friends of mine drop by.
Why didn't you tell me? I don't know.
You never dropped by before.
No.
About her.
Erica.
I don't talk about that kind of stuff.
What? You don't think it matters that you have a girlfriend? Well, you have a boyfriend, right? That, uh, Justin guy.
[GEAR CLICKING.]
Yeah.
I know.
What, you thought I didn't? You never talk about him.
So you and me, it's not like we're going out or anything.
Well, right.
Of course not.
I mean, we're not going out.
So, what's the problem? I don't know.
How about that, O? You're an uncle.
Uncle Owen.
Uncle Owen.
"Hey, this is my Uncle Owen.
He's almost 2.
" Kinda weird, huh? You were out all morning.
Yeah.
You went to see her? Yeah, I did.
Went to give her some money and to tell her that was all I had to offer her.
Just money.
Sothat's it then? [SIGHS.]
Well, the thing is, uhhe was there.
Spencer.
And, uhhe was playing and And I was just watching him and He had this little carpentry set with these tools and plastic workbench.
It's his favorite toy.
And I know this is stupid but I just kept thinking you know, "He gets that from me.
" I mean, where else would he get that from? Not his mom.
Not-- Not some other guy.
He's gota little piece of me in him.
And I just thought, "Wow.
Wow.
What an amazing thing.
" You know? Yeah.
I'm a father.
I'm his father.
And don't laugh at me, but I just keep thinking "That little kid could love me.
" Because I'm not watchin' you MAN: Coming over.
Take it.
Because I'm not watchin' you [LAUGHTER, CHATTER.]
Just so you know Allison and I never danced.
We had sex but we never danced.
[LAUGHS.]
I'm kidding.
It's a joke.
I'm joking.
It's not funny.
Oh.
Come on.
You want to laugh.
You know you do.
But you're afraid that if you laugh, it will mean that you're over this whole Allison thing.
And if you're over it, then you'll have no reason to be mad at me.
And then you'll just have to resign yourself to the fact that you have a great boyfriend and you love me desperately.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, shut up and dance.
I got you.
Hey, did you see? Jenny Hinton got braces.
Ho, ho-ho.
At her age, senior year, tragic.
I say go with the overbite.
So you having a good time? Sure.
Yeah, I can tell.
All right.
To senior year.
You know what this means, man? Not a clue.
No idea.
What's it mean? Senior year.
[SLOW, MOODY ALTERNATIVE ROCK PLAYS.]
Ah! Claudiawhat the hell are you doing here? I took the bus.
I thought we told-- I wanted to see.
Cool.
Okay.
You came, you saw, you're going home.
I'll make a scene.
Come on.
I'll take you.
You heard me.
What? I like your style, kiddo.
Come on, Claud.
Give me a break.
Look, I swear I won't be a pest.
Hey, I won't even say a word.
I mean, you won't even know I'm here.
And the point of this would be-- Hey, I start something pretty big tomorrow too, you know.
Nobody throws a bonfire when you start junior high school.
In fact, you know nobody does much of anything.
Soyou kind of have to find a way of making it a big deal for yourself.
Becauseit is a big deal.
Junior high school, I mean, it's a very big deal.
I just wanna watch, Bay.
[SIGHS.]
Hold this.
Come here.
You move, you speak, you're dead.
[CHUCKLES.]
Just so I can see.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
You know what? What? If you told me that you had met somebody this summer, like a guy-- a guy friend Mm-hm? I'd be perfectly okay with it.
You would? No, you wouldn't.
I totally would.
I mean, in fact, I'd be happy that you didn't spend your whole summer by yourself.
Because you wouldn't have written me all those letters or acted the way you did over those photos if I weren't the one.
The guy for you.
Go ahead.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Argue with my logic.
I'm cold.
This better? Tighter.
Tighter.
Of the possibility Is this seat taken? So is your friend meeting you here? Holly? Oh, no.
No, that's not really happening, me and Holly.
Really? I thought that you guys were kind of-- No.
No.
Not your type? No, she's pretty much completely my type.
It's me.
It's my fault.
[WAVES CRASHING ON SHORE.]
Are you a good swimmer? Why? [LAUGHS.]
You aren't thinking of-- Bailey, that water's gotta be 50 degrees.
It took me forever to learn how to swim.
My dad tried to teach me but thefirst time out, I cracked my head against the side of the pool and swallowed all this water and after that, I couldn't.
I wanted to.
I just couldn't.
And for the longest time, I just Just couldn't let go of the side.
You know? Do you think I'm stupid, Sarah? I mean, do you think it's okay if If I waitfor a while? Yeah, you know.
I think you shouldwait.
Till you're ready.
I miss her.
[SIGHS.]
So school starts tomorrow.
Can you believe it? Where did the summer go? Who knows, you know? Maybe it'll be a great year.
[.]
Maybe.
[SIGHS.]
Maybe.
[SIGHS.]
[LAUGHS.]
You looking for the lady? Yeah.
With the, uh, little boy.
She cleared all her stuff out this morning.
Paid me the rent she owes.
She's gone, man.
