The Groundhog Day
Previously on The O.
C.
- What are you doing here? - I ain't here to work.
- Came to see my girlfriend.
- You are an ignorant buffoon.
- Aren't you staying for midnight? - Your mom has a headache.
- Have Bullit give you a ride.
- In my dream I had found my other half and it was an otter.
Tell me about your spirit animal.
- It was an otter.
- An otter? When Henri-Michel told me he loved me it was like the whole world melted away.
So, what are you saying? I don't think I should be with anyone.
Bye, Ryan.
- Hello.
- Taylor, where are you? - I thought you were gonna come to dinner.
- Just go on without me.
- I haven't finished my errands yet.
- Wait, you've been gone all day.
I had to go to the dry cleaner, get my nails done.
- Go to the Matthew Barney Exhibition.
- Okay.
Is Ryan with you? No, Kaitlin, I told you: We're giving each other some space.
We haven't spoken in a week.
You're not going to Kirsten's thing? - What thing? - Her party.
She's turning 40.
I'd hoped you'd be there to do something weird, so it's not boring.
- Wait, do you want to know where it is? - No.
I don't.
I have to go.
Goodbye.
- Excuse me, miss? - Yes? You're making some of the owners around here a little nervous.
- Why? What are you talking about? - You've been loitering here for seven hours.
Loitering? What's loitering? I've been Just What are you doing with those binoculars? These are for bird watching.
- There's an oriole in that tree.
- I'll have to ask you to leave.
Oh, but Ryan's off work in 10 minutes.
Can you Just give me a 10 minutes? - You want a doughnut? - No.
- Hey, Taylor's not Joining us? - Nope.
- Lucky her.
- Sorry this isn't up to your standards l'm a little short on cash right now.
- So why did you leave NewMatch? Because Kirsten and I are better friends than business partners, okay? Can we leave it at that? Excuse me.
Five people in this house and I eat dinner by myself.
Hi.
So we're still on for Friday, right? Well, I don't like sneaking around either but we don't have much of a choice, do we? I know, I miss you too.
What? That's Just Summer's weird friend Che.
Hold on, I'll go outside, okay? - Che, what are you doing? - The I Ching was devised by ancient Chinese mystics as a way to interpret the invisible current of the universe.
- What are you trying to figure out? - I had a dream, Summer in which my soul mate was revealed to me.
- That's great.
- It's great, but it's complicated.
I must be certain.
Dragon on a mountain top? That's interesting.
Che, nothing against Chinese mystics but if you want to find out if someone's your soul mate try spending time with them.
- You think that's what I should do? - Yeah, why not? - See if you have anything in common.
- Because the day after tomorrow is There's Groundhog Day and I'm planning a little black ops mission to free Newport Chuck.
- The groundhog? - Yeah.
You've heard of this travesty? I've heard about the festival.
They put him onstage with the mayor and if he sees his shadow it means, six more weeks of winter, which is craxy.
We don't even have winters.
- They treat him okay.
- No.
Three hundred sixty-four days a year the duder is stuck in a cage and now he's circus freak for a day? - No, that's absolutely criminal.
- Okay.
Just don't involve me.
That's how I got kicked out of Brown.
Coming to dinner? Go without me.
Summer? Besides getting you kicked out of college you know I'd never do anything to hurt you.
Of course.
I'll see you in a little bit.
Tomorrow, brother.
Tomorrow we'll get this whole thing figured out.
That right there is grasshopper at night.
- Are you sure you don't want to come? - A movie about a guy eating an octopus? I think I'll pass.
It's got one of the greatest fight sequences in the last five years.
- That'll convince her.
- What better way to see out your 30s than a little South Korean shock cinema? - So tempting.
You're gonna be late, you better go.
Oh, hi, it's Kirsten Cohen.
I was wondering if Dr.
Harris could see me, it's urgent.
You sure it's all right to leave? She seems down.
She's turning 40.
As beautiful as your mother is that's not easy.
- Maybe we should stay.
- No.
Trust me.
All she wants is time alone to process everything.
You don't think she knows about the party? No.
Are you kidding me? Nobody plans a surprise party like Sandy Cohen.
I could have been with the CIA.
I hear they are known for their birthday parties.
Morning, brother.
Che, what are you? This is real, right? This isn't a dream? Unless this whole life is a dream.
But, no, for our purposes, you are awake.
Seth, how do you feel about subJugation of animals? I hate it? When a fellow mammal is being exploited for cheap entertainment instead of being allowed to burrow in the soft soil does it make you want to tear your hair out? Then rise and shine, for the call of Justice has rung across the land.
- I'm glad I don't sleep naked.
- Yeah, me too.
I didn't think about that.
You could have had Tell him you want to feel his butt.
Say how you can't wait to get two big handfuls of butt.
Okay, you guys, that's gross.
I'm supposed to be my mom, okay? Exactly.
Look, you want this guy to think your mom loves him, right? This is how adults talk to each other.
I've been e-mailing Bullit as my mom for a month now.
You don't think it'd be weird if I asked him about his butt? No.
It Just shows that she cares for him.
- And his butt.
- Yeah.
Don't you realixe how much you talk about guys' butts? Do you want your mom to close the deal or not? "I miss your butt.
Love, Julie.
" - Awesome.
- Awesome.
- Hey, you busy? - No.
I'm Just going to pick up Kirsten's present.
Thought you might want to come along.
Grab some lunch.
Yeah, sure.
- Is everything okay? - Fine.
How are you doing with what's going on with Taylor? Okay.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
She needs time, I get it.
I got plenty of other things to keep me busy.
Sandy, I'm fine.
I'm not sitting around missing her if that's what you're asking.
- All right.
Good.
- Yeah.
- Half an hour? - Yeah.
All right.
I need help, doctor.
Taylor, admitting that is the first step in recovery.
But tell me, how did you hear about me? I read your article about emotional addictions in the Journal of Abstract Thought and I saw you teach at UCI and it seemed like fate.
You think you're suffering from an emotional addiction? Yeah, pretty much all my life.
Because I never really knew my dad and my mom is kind of like Idi Amin with fake boobs.
Big on torturing and tyranny, not so big on the nurturing.
- I see.
- From there I turned into this person who whenever anybody held the prospect of emotional support, I Just seixed on that.
I married a man who I knew for two weeks because he told me he loved me.
How has that manifest itself now? Well, I'm dating this guy, Ryan and he's Just really wonderful and I really care about him but I told him that I needed some space because Because you know that you're not ready for a mature relationship.
- You don't want to ruin it.
- Exactly.
How has that been, this time apart? Well, that's kind of the other problem.
Sometimes when I like someone, I sometimes kind of stalk them.
Not in like a scary Star 0 way.
Like I follow them around take pictures and log their activities.
Then compile it all in a factually accurate, yet aesthetically pleasing scrapbook.
It's all very Oh, my God, I'm a lunatic.
Taylor, you are not a lunatic.
You recognixe this behavior is not healthy and you want to correct it.
- I do, I really, really do.
All right, well As you know from my article, my methods are very aggressive.
Okay.
I'm in your hands, doctor.
- What are you doing? - Neil and I bought these in Cabo.
- I'm selling them.
- Why? Because times are tough, Kaitlin.
Do I need to remind you that your boyfriend's a billionaire? No, he's not.
I mean - Are you cheating on Bullit? - No, I'm not even dating him.
That fixxled when he went to Dubai.
Well, he thinks you guys are still dating.
- Have you been talking to him? - No.
Just a couple e-mails.
- And what have you told him? - Nothing.
Just I know he really likes you and he thinks you guys are still a couple.
But, wait.
Are you seeing anyone else? That's none of your business.
Fine.
Okay, well What are you gonna tell the Bullit? Because he comes back today.
Will you please answer that? Julie Cooper? Yeah, thank you.
"Can't wait until tomorrow night.
Miss you already.
" Mrs.
Cohen, thanks for waiting.
So tell me what's going on.
Well the last few weeks I've been feeling weak.
Just drained of energy.
There's been some nausea, light-headedness.
- I have to ask, have you been drinking? - Not a drop.
- Has there been any undue stress? - No.
Well, I mean, not more than usual.
Well, let's take some blood.
Then we'll be able to tell you something.
Oh, you turn 40 tomorrow.
Happy birthday.
Thanks.
- You're craxy.
- Seth.
I thought you wanted to release turtles into the ocean.
- I'm not helping you steal Newport Chuck.
- Why? Because he looks so happy down there? He seems all right with the free carrot deal.
I see this was a mistake.
I guess we don't have much in common after all.
Oh, well.
Who knows what might have been.
Oh, God, fine.
Okay.
- What? - You helped me heal my inner otter.
I owe you.
You mean, you want to help? Yeah, that's it.
I feel like we have a bond.
So, what's the plan? Hey, peanut.
Just left the airport.
- We need to talk.
- Not if it's about the duty-free booxe you asked me to buy.
- No, it's definitely not about that.
It's kind of about my mom.
Something that I should talk to you about.
Okay, then, why don't you meet me at the Jewelry store? - What are you talking about? - Squirt, I liked your mother before I left but the e-mails I've been getting especially the last one Let's just say I like the way her mind works.
Yes, she is the girl for me.
- You're gonna ask her to marry you? - Oh, damn.
Why? - What were you gonna tell me? - Nothing.
She loves anything that's an emerald cut.
So you're saying I should ask her.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You should totally ask her.
"Totally.
" That's great.
You saved a valet ticket? Oh, yeah, that's from our third date.
He's a very generous tipper.
You wouldn't know it to look at him.
- What's this? - Toothpick.
- Gross.
- Well, he didn't use it.
Much.
Okay, Taylor although I wholeheartedly support you getting rid of everything in this box for purely sanitary reasons, if you like Ryan and he likes you forget the therapist and figure it out together.
All of this seems a little insane.
Summer, my whole life I've been completely powerless before people who say they have feelings for me.
I feel I need to do this for myself as much as for me and Ryan.
Even if you lose him? If I don't do this, I'm gonna lose him anyway.
I don't have a choice.
Okay, well, I hope you know what you are doing.
Yeah.
Me too.
- Kaitlin.
- Ryan.
- Hi.
- Hey.
You buying some Jewelry? Oh, yeah, I'm Just buying some class rings.
- You here with someone? - No.
Are you? Yeah, Sandy's buying a part of Kirsten's birthday present.
- Hey, how's Taylor been? - Well, weird.
- Weird like? - Weirder than normal.
- Really? - Yeah.
- A little bit.
Hi, Mr.
Cohen.
- You coming to the party tomorrow? Yeah.
Totally.
Listen, I got to go, but I'll see you guys.
- Is everything okay? - No.
The guy in Carson I Just got a message, he lost it.
- He lost it? - Yeah.
I don't know how you do this.
The hell you hiding from? Just scared me.
Quit hiding out in the shadows like some Al Qaeda wacko.
I Just thought I saw my mom.
So, what did you end up getting? - How do you like that? - Wow.
Is it the most expensive one? Well, Bullit bought it, of course it is.
And your mama deserves it.
Good.
All right.
About that proposal No, I got it worked out.
This Iranian fellow on my flight played this Persian love song on his cell.
So I downloaded it.
Check it out.
- Let's definitely talk about that proposal.
- Let's go to work.
Once Chuck is outside for the ceremony, there's gonna be too many eyes.
The best bet is to break into the lobby and take him from the city hall.
- The door's locked.
- The main door's locked.
Yesterday I took a tour of city hall.
I taped the lock on the fire door on the roof.
How is that tour? I've always wondered.
It's surprisingly good.
Good local history, doesn't get too anecdotal.
All right.
How do we get on the roof? You know what this is? A grappling hook.
I climbed Denali last year.
It was an outward bound course.
- This is gonna be a piece of cake.
- I've never climbed.
- I brought a papoose for you.
- Oh, great, okay so we climb on the roof break in, break Chuck out, climb down the roof.
Return him to the savannas of his childhood.
He was captured in Irvine.
- But Just one thing.
- Yeah.
You know this plan is insane, right? It will never work.
Seth, when the universe intends for something to happen, it will happen.
How about a pre-ops snow cone? - Okay.
- I'm talking your language? - You like snow cones? - My favorite flavor is cherry but my dad's is blueberry.
- Hi.
- Are you Ryan Atwood? - Yeah, can I help you? - This is from Taylor.
Okay - Excuse me.
Wait.
Who are you? - Dr.
James.
- I'm helping Taylor through some issues.
- So you're her therapist? - More of an emotional crisis manager.
- And she gave you Is she in your car? - Mr.
Atwood.
- Taylor, what is this? What's going on? I have instructed her that she have no contact with you for a week.
Okay, but she's right here.
Taylor.
Can you Just please tell him that I'm sorry but I think this is best for me and us? - Ryan, she's sorry, but she feels - I heard that.
Taylor, would you talk to me, please? This is craxy.
Would you at least tell me what this is about? Are you breaking up with me? She asks that you trust her for a while longer.
Taylor, look, whatever the reason you're doing all this you don't have to.
We can work on it together.
Please? Please.
- Goodbye, Ryan.
- Does that mean? Okay, you're gonna Hey, little buddy.
Che.
Che.
- What was wrong with the elevator? - Nothing.
I Just really love doing that.
- Hey, little duder.
- What was that? Let's get Let's get out.
Go.
Go.
Go.
- Okay, where are the ropes? - I left them inside.
- Dude.
- It's all right.
Relax, I'll go get them.
- Here.
- Fine.
Hey.
There some sort of problem? It is possible that the piece of tape I put over the lock got torn through.
- So are you saying we're stuck up here? - No.
As long as I can Yeah.
Get out.
Che, what are you doing? I didn't mean to wake you up.
I've been meditating over a dream.
You realixe this is the second time you and I have spent the night together? - So? - So Does that mean anything to you? You'll be going on your little adventures by yourself from now on? Seth.
When the universe intends for something to happen it will happen.
And our personal desires or natural predilections, they Just don't figure in.
In fact There's something that I've been meaning to tell you.
This belong to you two? Crouch behind me.
Oh, happy birthday, sweetheart.
- Thanks.
- Hey, come on, sit down.
I am making you a birthday breakfast you won't believe.
That's sweet, but I don't think I'm in the mood for a big breakfast.
You take this turning 40 thing a little hard.
It's not the end of the world.
You're more beautiful now than the day we met.
Soon Seth and Ryan will be gone.
We'll do what we want, be like kids again.
- And live in the back of a mail truck? - Why not? Maybe we'll throw in a pillow-top mattress.
My back's not what it used to be.
Sandy - Hey, happy birthday.
- Oh, hey, thanks.
Did I interrupt something? - No.
- No.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Hey, dinner reservations, 8:00.
Don't make any plans.
- Any luck yet? - Nothing.
I must have made 30 calls yesterday.
All right, anything you need me to do, I'm all yours.
Thanks.
I feel she really needs this.
Of course I can see the doctor today, but can't she Just tell me? I understand, she wants to tell me in person.
- Hi, babe.
- Mom, where are you? At the spa getting shined and buffed.
What's up? What does it feel like when your appendix bursts? I don't feel proud.
Well, you should be.
What you did yesterday was very difficult.
Yeah, but the look on his face, I Just wanted to hold him.
And you will.
But first you have to take care of yourself.
Excuse me.
Hello? Yes.
All right.
Listen, I've got to go.
Another crisis.
- But we'll talk later.
- Okay.
All right.
Oh.
Sorry.
Sorry about that.
Good luck at the festival.
Yeah, thanks.
Come on, guys, let's go.
We're gonna be late.
- Kaitlin? - Mom, I'm fine.
What? What are all these flowers doing here? - Someone wants to ask you something.
- What are you talking about? - There you are.
- Gordon.
You are a sight for sore eyes.
Come to big daddy.
Okay, everybody stop.
What is going on? You're not dying.
And Gordon, what are you doing here? It's time, squirt.
Hit it.
- I really don't think that it's such a - Trust me.
Hit it.
Oh, my God.
Julie Cooper, I've traveled the world over, had everything money can buy but it comes a time in a billionaire's life that his money ain't worth a dime unless he has someone to share it with.
Will you marry me? - I don't know what to say.
- Oh, well, "yes," works for me.
- Mom, isn't this great? - It's very, very nice.
But please, stand up.
I'm flattered, but Will you turn that off? Please.
Okay.
- I'm going.
- Thank you.
- I guess I'm Just surprised.
- Well, when I see something I want I go for it, like a bullet.
But, Gordon, we haven't spoken since you went to Dubai.
Mom, he Just asked you to marry him.
I mean, look at the ring.
- It's ridonkulous.
- And what about all those e-mails.
I've never seen so many X's and O's.
And that would be hugs and kisses, right? - What e-mails? You know, the music was actually really awesome.
And especially that last one.
You know, the one where you said: Oh, crap.
- Hello? - Caterpillar? Che, oh, my God, he looks so sad.
- Who? - Newport Chuck.
I'm looking at him.
I thought you were gonna rescue him.
Well, things didn't go exactly as planned.
Are you at the fair right now? Yeah.
They are setting up for the ceremony.
Where are you? - The Man caught me.
- What? You're in Jail, Che? No, don't worry about me.
Focus on Chuck.
He needs you right now.
Caterpillar, you have to rescue him.
No, Che, I told you not to involve me.
Sometimes, Summer our destiny is chosen for us.
Fine, I'll see what I can do.
Okay.
It's all you.
I was next.
Who should I call? I see.
So who else is onstage other than the mayor and Newport Chuck? - A couple of the mayor's men some city council members, few police officers.
And so that's it? Wait, no, there's also a few people dressed as groundhogs.
- What paper did you say you're with? - Groundhog's Day Weekly which comes out once a year, usually around - "Groundhog Day"? - Yes.
Thank you so much.
You were e-mailing him pretending to be me? I Just know you don't deal well with long distance relationships.
- I thought you might regret it.
- Really? That's it? Nothing to do with being sick of froxen dinners? What? Your saying no has nothing to do with the fact you're seeing a mystery man? A, I never said, no.
B, that is my private life.
Kaitlin, there is more to relationships than Just money.
I don't care for the Bullit Just because he's a billionaire.
Maybe I care a bit.
But the reason why I told him to marry you is because I know he loves you.
And he's a really nice guy and he's really funny.
And he'd make an amaxing stepdad.
You have to tell him the truth.
What are you gonna tell him? I don't know.
You better make up your mind quick because I'm taking him with me to Kirsten's party.
- Hello.
- Kirsten, I need your help.
- Oh, happy birthday.
- Thanks.
- Bullit Just proposed to me.
- That's nice.
I told him I'd give him an answer by tonight, but the truth is l've been seeing someone else.
You'll never believe who.
Julie, I'm gonna lie down.
Congratulations.
That was the guy at the Junk yard in Chatsworth.
He's got one.
He says he can have it at the yacht club in an hour.
- Sounds like everything's gonna be okay.
- Yeah, let's hope.
- So, what's going on with you and Taylor? - Well, we were taking a bit of a break Stupid tree.
Where did you go? - She showed up last night with a box - Taylor was right there, right? - Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But she wasn't supposed to talk to me.
At least, not directly.
So whenever I asked her a question she'd whisper her answer to her therapist.
- It's craxy, huh? - Yeah.
I mean, a little.
I want her to do what she needs to do.
- Did you tell her that? - Well, I tried Excuse me.
Yeah.
Oh, Seth? Where are you? Oh, crap.
Taylor? What are you doing? I was Just Taylor, are you okay? I'm sorry, Just forget you ever knew me.
What? Taylor.
Taylor.
KTML News, action update.
Newport Plaxa turned into a crime scene today as a young woman dressed up as a groundhog grabbed Newport Chuck and made a dash for it.
And while Newport's beloved groundhog has yet to be recovered the Newport Police Department has taken a woman into custody whom they believe to be the kidnapper.
- My dad said he'll be right over.
- What about me? Don't worry, Darryl, he knows you're here too.
But I don't want to leave.
Seth, I haven't been honest with you.
Remember in the sweat lodge when you discovered that your animus was a sea otter? Well see, I had a dream that night too and I discovered that my animal-self was a bullfrog.
Oh, that's awesome.
Frogs are cool.
Yeah, but there's kind of more to it.
See, I also discovered that the animus of my soul mate Well, see my In the dream, my bullfrog was in love with A groundhog.
It wasn't an otter at all.
What? What wasn't an otter? Never mind.
No, nothing.
What? - You were gonna say Che.
- Never mind.
Che, what wasn't an otter? I ate a squirrel once.
- That's great.
- Cohen.
Cooke.
Someone's posted bail for you.
You coming? No, you go.
- I'm not leaving until we're both free.
- Works for me.
Sandy, where have you been? I called you three times.
Well, it's been a busy afternoon.
Tell me that you haven't planned anything big tonight.
On your birthday, sorry, but I plead the fifth.
- Can we meet at the club? - I thought we'd go together.
- I had to make other arrangements.
- Sandy.
I'll see you in a few minutes.
Hi, Dad.
I hope I'm not late for Mom's party.
- Kirsten Cohen? - Yes.
I'm here to take you to your husband.
You tried to steal Newport Chuck? Sometimes the universe makes you do things that you don't even understand.
Sure.
Sandy didn't seem too upset about it.
Are you kidding? He's waited 18 years for me to be arrested for political activism.
It's probably the proudest moment of his entire life.
It's your mom.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Happy birthday.
Thank you.
I hope your father didn't do anything too extravagant.
Might be a little late for that.
Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah, that was my first thought too.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
- Sandy, it's - No, it's not the same mail truck we had in Berkeley, but it is exactly the same model.
It's amaxing.
Thank you.
And here's your real present.
Happy birthday.
Around the world first class air tickets.
Just you and me.
That's not bad, huh? I think I can top it.
- Can I talk to you in private? - Yeah.
- You two stay here.
- Fellas, watch the truck.
Okay.
I want you seated for this.
Is everything okay? I went to the doctor.
Are you sick? Yes.
But only in the mornings.
What? I'm pregnant.
Wait One more time.
Sandy, we're having a baby.
We're having a baby? - Everything's gonna change.
- You're not kidding.
- I love you.
- Well, that's good because there's gonna be a lot more of me to love.
Oh, my gosh.
And then Brad was like "Oh, no.
" And I was like, "Oh, yeah.
" That Brad sounds like a piece of work.
And I still can't believe you wrote me all those e-mails.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
And that last one? Little frisky.
Little inappropriate.
But what the hell.
The offer still stands she's still the most exciting woman I've ever met.
- Kaitlin.
Gordon.
- Mom, did you hear that? Bullit still wants to marry you.
Yes, well, Gordon, that's very generous.
But I'm afraid my answer has to be no.
Sit down, I'm not finished.
As I was saying, no because we don't know each other well enough but I'm willing to correct that.
I like you, Gordon.
And if, after spending time together, I can grow to love you then, yes, I would be proud to be your wife.
Come here.
- Can I get up now? - Yes, of course, you can get up.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- That's what I said.
- I know this isn't what you expected.
That's family.
There's nothing more important than that.
I mean I mean you're pregnant.
- It's so weird.
- Yeah.
Well, congratulations.
- Yeah, it's great.
- Yeah.
It makes me getting arrested seem trivial now.
- You got what? - Thanks for prepping her, Dad.
Oh, that.
We'll deal with that later.
Right now we've got some guests inside.
- I was gonna go pick up Summer.
- Could you give me a ride, I got to Tell Taylor you love her, you can't live without her.
Something like that.
Hey, I'll see you guys in a few minutes.
And suddenly we're alone again.
Not for long.
- Take care of him.
- Soon, he'll burrow with brothers and sisters.
I'm sorry you got arrested.
I should have never asked for your costume.
I didn't mean to get you into trouble.
It's okay.
Turns out the mayor is a lover of our animal brethren.
- He gave us both amnesty.
- Yeah and this way we got to meet.
The universe works in mysterious ways.
So your dream was right all along, it's amaxing.
Hey.
Wow.
Crowded room.
You guys off? Yes, to where the winds of liberty blow over the mountaintops.
Like Chicago or something? Take care, you two.
Okay.
- In another life, brother.
- Hey.
Hey.
Are we late for your mom's party? Actually, I think it may be more of a baby shower.
But I'll explain in the car.
Or maybe I won't.
I think it's a secret.
Listen, what did Che mean when he said "in another life"? In another life, what? Hello.
- Hello? - Oh, yeah.
- Who is this? - What are you wearing? - Ryan? - No.
Hey.
- Were you Just trying to stalk me? - I guess I need more practice.
That is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me.
So does that mean the whole space thing? Yeah, terrible idea.
But you don't mind dating someone who's a total weirdo? No, no.
In fact, I was thinking we could work around it.
Like, I have to go to Kirsten's party, but if you wanted, you could follow me.
Yes.
And when we get there, I could hide and Just kind of watch you.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And then on the way home, I can stalk you.
Yes.
And then I'll stalk you.
Hi, it's me.
No, I won't be making it tonight.
Listen l'm back with Bullit.
I know.
I know.
But this is the best thing for my family.
I'm sorry.
- Me too.
- Goodbye, Frank.
C.
- What are you doing here? - I ain't here to work.
- Came to see my girlfriend.
- You are an ignorant buffoon.
- Aren't you staying for midnight? - Your mom has a headache.
- Have Bullit give you a ride.
- In my dream I had found my other half and it was an otter.
Tell me about your spirit animal.
- It was an otter.
- An otter? When Henri-Michel told me he loved me it was like the whole world melted away.
So, what are you saying? I don't think I should be with anyone.
Bye, Ryan.
- Hello.
- Taylor, where are you? - I thought you were gonna come to dinner.
- Just go on without me.
- I haven't finished my errands yet.
- Wait, you've been gone all day.
I had to go to the dry cleaner, get my nails done.
- Go to the Matthew Barney Exhibition.
- Okay.
Is Ryan with you? No, Kaitlin, I told you: We're giving each other some space.
We haven't spoken in a week.
You're not going to Kirsten's thing? - What thing? - Her party.
She's turning 40.
I'd hoped you'd be there to do something weird, so it's not boring.
- Wait, do you want to know where it is? - No.
I don't.
I have to go.
Goodbye.
- Excuse me, miss? - Yes? You're making some of the owners around here a little nervous.
- Why? What are you talking about? - You've been loitering here for seven hours.
Loitering? What's loitering? I've been Just What are you doing with those binoculars? These are for bird watching.
- There's an oriole in that tree.
- I'll have to ask you to leave.
Oh, but Ryan's off work in 10 minutes.
Can you Just give me a 10 minutes? - You want a doughnut? - No.
- Hey, Taylor's not Joining us? - Nope.
- Lucky her.
- Sorry this isn't up to your standards l'm a little short on cash right now.
- So why did you leave NewMatch? Because Kirsten and I are better friends than business partners, okay? Can we leave it at that? Excuse me.
Five people in this house and I eat dinner by myself.
Hi.
So we're still on for Friday, right? Well, I don't like sneaking around either but we don't have much of a choice, do we? I know, I miss you too.
What? That's Just Summer's weird friend Che.
Hold on, I'll go outside, okay? - Che, what are you doing? - The I Ching was devised by ancient Chinese mystics as a way to interpret the invisible current of the universe.
- What are you trying to figure out? - I had a dream, Summer in which my soul mate was revealed to me.
- That's great.
- It's great, but it's complicated.
I must be certain.
Dragon on a mountain top? That's interesting.
Che, nothing against Chinese mystics but if you want to find out if someone's your soul mate try spending time with them.
- You think that's what I should do? - Yeah, why not? - See if you have anything in common.
- Because the day after tomorrow is There's Groundhog Day and I'm planning a little black ops mission to free Newport Chuck.
- The groundhog? - Yeah.
You've heard of this travesty? I've heard about the festival.
They put him onstage with the mayor and if he sees his shadow it means, six more weeks of winter, which is craxy.
We don't even have winters.
- They treat him okay.
- No.
Three hundred sixty-four days a year the duder is stuck in a cage and now he's circus freak for a day? - No, that's absolutely criminal.
- Okay.
Just don't involve me.
That's how I got kicked out of Brown.
Coming to dinner? Go without me.
Summer? Besides getting you kicked out of college you know I'd never do anything to hurt you.
Of course.
I'll see you in a little bit.
Tomorrow, brother.
Tomorrow we'll get this whole thing figured out.
That right there is grasshopper at night.
- Are you sure you don't want to come? - A movie about a guy eating an octopus? I think I'll pass.
It's got one of the greatest fight sequences in the last five years.
- That'll convince her.
- What better way to see out your 30s than a little South Korean shock cinema? - So tempting.
You're gonna be late, you better go.
Oh, hi, it's Kirsten Cohen.
I was wondering if Dr.
Harris could see me, it's urgent.
You sure it's all right to leave? She seems down.
She's turning 40.
As beautiful as your mother is that's not easy.
- Maybe we should stay.
- No.
Trust me.
All she wants is time alone to process everything.
You don't think she knows about the party? No.
Are you kidding me? Nobody plans a surprise party like Sandy Cohen.
I could have been with the CIA.
I hear they are known for their birthday parties.
Morning, brother.
Che, what are you? This is real, right? This isn't a dream? Unless this whole life is a dream.
But, no, for our purposes, you are awake.
Seth, how do you feel about subJugation of animals? I hate it? When a fellow mammal is being exploited for cheap entertainment instead of being allowed to burrow in the soft soil does it make you want to tear your hair out? Then rise and shine, for the call of Justice has rung across the land.
- I'm glad I don't sleep naked.
- Yeah, me too.
I didn't think about that.
You could have had Tell him you want to feel his butt.
Say how you can't wait to get two big handfuls of butt.
Okay, you guys, that's gross.
I'm supposed to be my mom, okay? Exactly.
Look, you want this guy to think your mom loves him, right? This is how adults talk to each other.
I've been e-mailing Bullit as my mom for a month now.
You don't think it'd be weird if I asked him about his butt? No.
It Just shows that she cares for him.
- And his butt.
- Yeah.
Don't you realixe how much you talk about guys' butts? Do you want your mom to close the deal or not? "I miss your butt.
Love, Julie.
" - Awesome.
- Awesome.
- Hey, you busy? - No.
I'm Just going to pick up Kirsten's present.
Thought you might want to come along.
Grab some lunch.
Yeah, sure.
- Is everything okay? - Fine.
How are you doing with what's going on with Taylor? Okay.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
She needs time, I get it.
I got plenty of other things to keep me busy.
Sandy, I'm fine.
I'm not sitting around missing her if that's what you're asking.
- All right.
Good.
- Yeah.
- Half an hour? - Yeah.
All right.
I need help, doctor.
Taylor, admitting that is the first step in recovery.
But tell me, how did you hear about me? I read your article about emotional addictions in the Journal of Abstract Thought and I saw you teach at UCI and it seemed like fate.
You think you're suffering from an emotional addiction? Yeah, pretty much all my life.
Because I never really knew my dad and my mom is kind of like Idi Amin with fake boobs.
Big on torturing and tyranny, not so big on the nurturing.
- I see.
- From there I turned into this person who whenever anybody held the prospect of emotional support, I Just seixed on that.
I married a man who I knew for two weeks because he told me he loved me.
How has that manifest itself now? Well, I'm dating this guy, Ryan and he's Just really wonderful and I really care about him but I told him that I needed some space because Because you know that you're not ready for a mature relationship.
- You don't want to ruin it.
- Exactly.
How has that been, this time apart? Well, that's kind of the other problem.
Sometimes when I like someone, I sometimes kind of stalk them.
Not in like a scary Star 0 way.
Like I follow them around take pictures and log their activities.
Then compile it all in a factually accurate, yet aesthetically pleasing scrapbook.
It's all very Oh, my God, I'm a lunatic.
Taylor, you are not a lunatic.
You recognixe this behavior is not healthy and you want to correct it.
- I do, I really, really do.
All right, well As you know from my article, my methods are very aggressive.
Okay.
I'm in your hands, doctor.
- What are you doing? - Neil and I bought these in Cabo.
- I'm selling them.
- Why? Because times are tough, Kaitlin.
Do I need to remind you that your boyfriend's a billionaire? No, he's not.
I mean - Are you cheating on Bullit? - No, I'm not even dating him.
That fixxled when he went to Dubai.
Well, he thinks you guys are still dating.
- Have you been talking to him? - No.
Just a couple e-mails.
- And what have you told him? - Nothing.
Just I know he really likes you and he thinks you guys are still a couple.
But, wait.
Are you seeing anyone else? That's none of your business.
Fine.
Okay, well What are you gonna tell the Bullit? Because he comes back today.
Will you please answer that? Julie Cooper? Yeah, thank you.
"Can't wait until tomorrow night.
Miss you already.
" Mrs.
Cohen, thanks for waiting.
So tell me what's going on.
Well the last few weeks I've been feeling weak.
Just drained of energy.
There's been some nausea, light-headedness.
- I have to ask, have you been drinking? - Not a drop.
- Has there been any undue stress? - No.
Well, I mean, not more than usual.
Well, let's take some blood.
Then we'll be able to tell you something.
Oh, you turn 40 tomorrow.
Happy birthday.
Thanks.
- You're craxy.
- Seth.
I thought you wanted to release turtles into the ocean.
- I'm not helping you steal Newport Chuck.
- Why? Because he looks so happy down there? He seems all right with the free carrot deal.
I see this was a mistake.
I guess we don't have much in common after all.
Oh, well.
Who knows what might have been.
Oh, God, fine.
Okay.
- What? - You helped me heal my inner otter.
I owe you.
You mean, you want to help? Yeah, that's it.
I feel like we have a bond.
So, what's the plan? Hey, peanut.
Just left the airport.
- We need to talk.
- Not if it's about the duty-free booxe you asked me to buy.
- No, it's definitely not about that.
It's kind of about my mom.
Something that I should talk to you about.
Okay, then, why don't you meet me at the Jewelry store? - What are you talking about? - Squirt, I liked your mother before I left but the e-mails I've been getting especially the last one Let's just say I like the way her mind works.
Yes, she is the girl for me.
- You're gonna ask her to marry you? - Oh, damn.
Why? - What were you gonna tell me? - Nothing.
She loves anything that's an emerald cut.
So you're saying I should ask her.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You should totally ask her.
"Totally.
" That's great.
You saved a valet ticket? Oh, yeah, that's from our third date.
He's a very generous tipper.
You wouldn't know it to look at him.
- What's this? - Toothpick.
- Gross.
- Well, he didn't use it.
Much.
Okay, Taylor although I wholeheartedly support you getting rid of everything in this box for purely sanitary reasons, if you like Ryan and he likes you forget the therapist and figure it out together.
All of this seems a little insane.
Summer, my whole life I've been completely powerless before people who say they have feelings for me.
I feel I need to do this for myself as much as for me and Ryan.
Even if you lose him? If I don't do this, I'm gonna lose him anyway.
I don't have a choice.
Okay, well, I hope you know what you are doing.
Yeah.
Me too.
- Kaitlin.
- Ryan.
- Hi.
- Hey.
You buying some Jewelry? Oh, yeah, I'm Just buying some class rings.
- You here with someone? - No.
Are you? Yeah, Sandy's buying a part of Kirsten's birthday present.
- Hey, how's Taylor been? - Well, weird.
- Weird like? - Weirder than normal.
- Really? - Yeah.
- A little bit.
Hi, Mr.
Cohen.
- You coming to the party tomorrow? Yeah.
Totally.
Listen, I got to go, but I'll see you guys.
- Is everything okay? - No.
The guy in Carson I Just got a message, he lost it.
- He lost it? - Yeah.
I don't know how you do this.
The hell you hiding from? Just scared me.
Quit hiding out in the shadows like some Al Qaeda wacko.
I Just thought I saw my mom.
So, what did you end up getting? - How do you like that? - Wow.
Is it the most expensive one? Well, Bullit bought it, of course it is.
And your mama deserves it.
Good.
All right.
About that proposal No, I got it worked out.
This Iranian fellow on my flight played this Persian love song on his cell.
So I downloaded it.
Check it out.
- Let's definitely talk about that proposal.
- Let's go to work.
Once Chuck is outside for the ceremony, there's gonna be too many eyes.
The best bet is to break into the lobby and take him from the city hall.
- The door's locked.
- The main door's locked.
Yesterday I took a tour of city hall.
I taped the lock on the fire door on the roof.
How is that tour? I've always wondered.
It's surprisingly good.
Good local history, doesn't get too anecdotal.
All right.
How do we get on the roof? You know what this is? A grappling hook.
I climbed Denali last year.
It was an outward bound course.
- This is gonna be a piece of cake.
- I've never climbed.
- I brought a papoose for you.
- Oh, great, okay so we climb on the roof break in, break Chuck out, climb down the roof.
Return him to the savannas of his childhood.
He was captured in Irvine.
- But Just one thing.
- Yeah.
You know this plan is insane, right? It will never work.
Seth, when the universe intends for something to happen, it will happen.
How about a pre-ops snow cone? - Okay.
- I'm talking your language? - You like snow cones? - My favorite flavor is cherry but my dad's is blueberry.
- Hi.
- Are you Ryan Atwood? - Yeah, can I help you? - This is from Taylor.
Okay - Excuse me.
Wait.
Who are you? - Dr.
James.
- I'm helping Taylor through some issues.
- So you're her therapist? - More of an emotional crisis manager.
- And she gave you Is she in your car? - Mr.
Atwood.
- Taylor, what is this? What's going on? I have instructed her that she have no contact with you for a week.
Okay, but she's right here.
Taylor.
Can you Just please tell him that I'm sorry but I think this is best for me and us? - Ryan, she's sorry, but she feels - I heard that.
Taylor, would you talk to me, please? This is craxy.
Would you at least tell me what this is about? Are you breaking up with me? She asks that you trust her for a while longer.
Taylor, look, whatever the reason you're doing all this you don't have to.
We can work on it together.
Please? Please.
- Goodbye, Ryan.
- Does that mean? Okay, you're gonna Hey, little buddy.
Che.
Che.
- What was wrong with the elevator? - Nothing.
I Just really love doing that.
- Hey, little duder.
- What was that? Let's get Let's get out.
Go.
Go.
Go.
- Okay, where are the ropes? - I left them inside.
- Dude.
- It's all right.
Relax, I'll go get them.
- Here.
- Fine.
Hey.
There some sort of problem? It is possible that the piece of tape I put over the lock got torn through.
- So are you saying we're stuck up here? - No.
As long as I can Yeah.
Get out.
Che, what are you doing? I didn't mean to wake you up.
I've been meditating over a dream.
You realixe this is the second time you and I have spent the night together? - So? - So Does that mean anything to you? You'll be going on your little adventures by yourself from now on? Seth.
When the universe intends for something to happen it will happen.
And our personal desires or natural predilections, they Just don't figure in.
In fact There's something that I've been meaning to tell you.
This belong to you two? Crouch behind me.
Oh, happy birthday, sweetheart.
- Thanks.
- Hey, come on, sit down.
I am making you a birthday breakfast you won't believe.
That's sweet, but I don't think I'm in the mood for a big breakfast.
You take this turning 40 thing a little hard.
It's not the end of the world.
You're more beautiful now than the day we met.
Soon Seth and Ryan will be gone.
We'll do what we want, be like kids again.
- And live in the back of a mail truck? - Why not? Maybe we'll throw in a pillow-top mattress.
My back's not what it used to be.
Sandy - Hey, happy birthday.
- Oh, hey, thanks.
Did I interrupt something? - No.
- No.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Hey, dinner reservations, 8:00.
Don't make any plans.
- Any luck yet? - Nothing.
I must have made 30 calls yesterday.
All right, anything you need me to do, I'm all yours.
Thanks.
I feel she really needs this.
Of course I can see the doctor today, but can't she Just tell me? I understand, she wants to tell me in person.
- Hi, babe.
- Mom, where are you? At the spa getting shined and buffed.
What's up? What does it feel like when your appendix bursts? I don't feel proud.
Well, you should be.
What you did yesterday was very difficult.
Yeah, but the look on his face, I Just wanted to hold him.
And you will.
But first you have to take care of yourself.
Excuse me.
Hello? Yes.
All right.
Listen, I've got to go.
Another crisis.
- But we'll talk later.
- Okay.
All right.
Oh.
Sorry.
Sorry about that.
Good luck at the festival.
Yeah, thanks.
Come on, guys, let's go.
We're gonna be late.
- Kaitlin? - Mom, I'm fine.
What? What are all these flowers doing here? - Someone wants to ask you something.
- What are you talking about? - There you are.
- Gordon.
You are a sight for sore eyes.
Come to big daddy.
Okay, everybody stop.
What is going on? You're not dying.
And Gordon, what are you doing here? It's time, squirt.
Hit it.
- I really don't think that it's such a - Trust me.
Hit it.
Oh, my God.
Julie Cooper, I've traveled the world over, had everything money can buy but it comes a time in a billionaire's life that his money ain't worth a dime unless he has someone to share it with.
Will you marry me? - I don't know what to say.
- Oh, well, "yes," works for me.
- Mom, isn't this great? - It's very, very nice.
But please, stand up.
I'm flattered, but Will you turn that off? Please.
Okay.
- I'm going.
- Thank you.
- I guess I'm Just surprised.
- Well, when I see something I want I go for it, like a bullet.
But, Gordon, we haven't spoken since you went to Dubai.
Mom, he Just asked you to marry him.
I mean, look at the ring.
- It's ridonkulous.
- And what about all those e-mails.
I've never seen so many X's and O's.
And that would be hugs and kisses, right? - What e-mails? You know, the music was actually really awesome.
And especially that last one.
You know, the one where you said: Oh, crap.
- Hello? - Caterpillar? Che, oh, my God, he looks so sad.
- Who? - Newport Chuck.
I'm looking at him.
I thought you were gonna rescue him.
Well, things didn't go exactly as planned.
Are you at the fair right now? Yeah.
They are setting up for the ceremony.
Where are you? - The Man caught me.
- What? You're in Jail, Che? No, don't worry about me.
Focus on Chuck.
He needs you right now.
Caterpillar, you have to rescue him.
No, Che, I told you not to involve me.
Sometimes, Summer our destiny is chosen for us.
Fine, I'll see what I can do.
Okay.
It's all you.
I was next.
Who should I call? I see.
So who else is onstage other than the mayor and Newport Chuck? - A couple of the mayor's men some city council members, few police officers.
And so that's it? Wait, no, there's also a few people dressed as groundhogs.
- What paper did you say you're with? - Groundhog's Day Weekly which comes out once a year, usually around - "Groundhog Day"? - Yes.
Thank you so much.
You were e-mailing him pretending to be me? I Just know you don't deal well with long distance relationships.
- I thought you might regret it.
- Really? That's it? Nothing to do with being sick of froxen dinners? What? Your saying no has nothing to do with the fact you're seeing a mystery man? A, I never said, no.
B, that is my private life.
Kaitlin, there is more to relationships than Just money.
I don't care for the Bullit Just because he's a billionaire.
Maybe I care a bit.
But the reason why I told him to marry you is because I know he loves you.
And he's a really nice guy and he's really funny.
And he'd make an amaxing stepdad.
You have to tell him the truth.
What are you gonna tell him? I don't know.
You better make up your mind quick because I'm taking him with me to Kirsten's party.
- Hello.
- Kirsten, I need your help.
- Oh, happy birthday.
- Thanks.
- Bullit Just proposed to me.
- That's nice.
I told him I'd give him an answer by tonight, but the truth is l've been seeing someone else.
You'll never believe who.
Julie, I'm gonna lie down.
Congratulations.
That was the guy at the Junk yard in Chatsworth.
He's got one.
He says he can have it at the yacht club in an hour.
- Sounds like everything's gonna be okay.
- Yeah, let's hope.
- So, what's going on with you and Taylor? - Well, we were taking a bit of a break Stupid tree.
Where did you go? - She showed up last night with a box - Taylor was right there, right? - Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But she wasn't supposed to talk to me.
At least, not directly.
So whenever I asked her a question she'd whisper her answer to her therapist.
- It's craxy, huh? - Yeah.
I mean, a little.
I want her to do what she needs to do.
- Did you tell her that? - Well, I tried Excuse me.
Yeah.
Oh, Seth? Where are you? Oh, crap.
Taylor? What are you doing? I was Just Taylor, are you okay? I'm sorry, Just forget you ever knew me.
What? Taylor.
Taylor.
KTML News, action update.
Newport Plaxa turned into a crime scene today as a young woman dressed up as a groundhog grabbed Newport Chuck and made a dash for it.
And while Newport's beloved groundhog has yet to be recovered the Newport Police Department has taken a woman into custody whom they believe to be the kidnapper.
- My dad said he'll be right over.
- What about me? Don't worry, Darryl, he knows you're here too.
But I don't want to leave.
Seth, I haven't been honest with you.
Remember in the sweat lodge when you discovered that your animus was a sea otter? Well see, I had a dream that night too and I discovered that my animal-self was a bullfrog.
Oh, that's awesome.
Frogs are cool.
Yeah, but there's kind of more to it.
See, I also discovered that the animus of my soul mate Well, see my In the dream, my bullfrog was in love with A groundhog.
It wasn't an otter at all.
What? What wasn't an otter? Never mind.
No, nothing.
What? - You were gonna say Che.
- Never mind.
Che, what wasn't an otter? I ate a squirrel once.
- That's great.
- Cohen.
Cooke.
Someone's posted bail for you.
You coming? No, you go.
- I'm not leaving until we're both free.
- Works for me.
Sandy, where have you been? I called you three times.
Well, it's been a busy afternoon.
Tell me that you haven't planned anything big tonight.
On your birthday, sorry, but I plead the fifth.
- Can we meet at the club? - I thought we'd go together.
- I had to make other arrangements.
- Sandy.
I'll see you in a few minutes.
Hi, Dad.
I hope I'm not late for Mom's party.
- Kirsten Cohen? - Yes.
I'm here to take you to your husband.
You tried to steal Newport Chuck? Sometimes the universe makes you do things that you don't even understand.
Sure.
Sandy didn't seem too upset about it.
Are you kidding? He's waited 18 years for me to be arrested for political activism.
It's probably the proudest moment of his entire life.
It's your mom.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Happy birthday.
Thank you.
I hope your father didn't do anything too extravagant.
Might be a little late for that.
Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah, that was my first thought too.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
- Sandy, it's - No, it's not the same mail truck we had in Berkeley, but it is exactly the same model.
It's amaxing.
Thank you.
And here's your real present.
Happy birthday.
Around the world first class air tickets.
Just you and me.
That's not bad, huh? I think I can top it.
- Can I talk to you in private? - Yeah.
- You two stay here.
- Fellas, watch the truck.
Okay.
I want you seated for this.
Is everything okay? I went to the doctor.
Are you sick? Yes.
But only in the mornings.
What? I'm pregnant.
Wait One more time.
Sandy, we're having a baby.
We're having a baby? - Everything's gonna change.
- You're not kidding.
- I love you.
- Well, that's good because there's gonna be a lot more of me to love.
Oh, my gosh.
And then Brad was like "Oh, no.
" And I was like, "Oh, yeah.
" That Brad sounds like a piece of work.
And I still can't believe you wrote me all those e-mails.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
And that last one? Little frisky.
Little inappropriate.
But what the hell.
The offer still stands she's still the most exciting woman I've ever met.
- Kaitlin.
Gordon.
- Mom, did you hear that? Bullit still wants to marry you.
Yes, well, Gordon, that's very generous.
But I'm afraid my answer has to be no.
Sit down, I'm not finished.
As I was saying, no because we don't know each other well enough but I'm willing to correct that.
I like you, Gordon.
And if, after spending time together, I can grow to love you then, yes, I would be proud to be your wife.
Come here.
- Can I get up now? - Yes, of course, you can get up.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
- That's what I said.
- I know this isn't what you expected.
That's family.
There's nothing more important than that.
I mean I mean you're pregnant.
- It's so weird.
- Yeah.
Well, congratulations.
- Yeah, it's great.
- Yeah.
It makes me getting arrested seem trivial now.
- You got what? - Thanks for prepping her, Dad.
Oh, that.
We'll deal with that later.
Right now we've got some guests inside.
- I was gonna go pick up Summer.
- Could you give me a ride, I got to Tell Taylor you love her, you can't live without her.
Something like that.
Hey, I'll see you guys in a few minutes.
And suddenly we're alone again.
Not for long.
- Take care of him.
- Soon, he'll burrow with brothers and sisters.
I'm sorry you got arrested.
I should have never asked for your costume.
I didn't mean to get you into trouble.
It's okay.
Turns out the mayor is a lover of our animal brethren.
- He gave us both amnesty.
- Yeah and this way we got to meet.
The universe works in mysterious ways.
So your dream was right all along, it's amaxing.
Hey.
Wow.
Crowded room.
You guys off? Yes, to where the winds of liberty blow over the mountaintops.
Like Chicago or something? Take care, you two.
Okay.
- In another life, brother.
- Hey.
Hey.
Are we late for your mom's party? Actually, I think it may be more of a baby shower.
But I'll explain in the car.
Or maybe I won't.
I think it's a secret.
Listen, what did Che mean when he said "in another life"? In another life, what? Hello.
- Hello? - Oh, yeah.
- Who is this? - What are you wearing? - Ryan? - No.
Hey.
- Were you Just trying to stalk me? - I guess I need more practice.
That is the most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me.
So does that mean the whole space thing? Yeah, terrible idea.
But you don't mind dating someone who's a total weirdo? No, no.
In fact, I was thinking we could work around it.
Like, I have to go to Kirsten's party, but if you wanted, you could follow me.
Yes.
And when we get there, I could hide and Just kind of watch you.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And then on the way home, I can stalk you.
Yes.
And then I'll stalk you.
Hi, it's me.
No, I won't be making it tonight.
Listen l'm back with Bullit.
I know.
I know.
But this is the best thing for my family.
I'm sorry.
- Me too.
- Goodbye, Frank.
