How Not To Date Your Neighbor
Transcript
00:00:01I used to live in a quiet, convenient world of thought spirals and internal panic.
00:00:07But when the pipe in my apartment broke, suddenly all the sounds I'd been drowning out
00:00:11came bursting to the forefront.
00:00:14The suffocating boyfriend, the heroic neighbor who saves me from spiders,
00:00:20and evidently the new role as his fake girlfriend.
00:00:24But what happens when an unexpected living arrangement turns into unexpected chemistry?
00:00:30And the walls you've built to protect yourself, begin to crumble at the touch.
00:00:48See? I told you I looked better here, didn't I?
00:00:51Yeah, yeah, you're right.
00:00:53Of course I'm right. I know what's best for you, baby.
00:01:00Oh, that's work. Gotta go.
00:01:04Oh, okay.
00:01:06What?
00:01:08Oh, um, nothing. It's just...
00:01:10I thought you said you took the day off so you can help me move in.
00:01:14Well, you know if I don't work, then I don't get paid.
00:01:16And if I don't get paid, how am I supposed to afford those fancy dinners I take you out on?
00:01:20Right.
00:01:22Speaking of, um, as of next week we'll have been dating a whole year.
00:01:28Maybe we could do something.
00:01:29Eh, well, we've been going out on dates for about a year.
00:01:34That's what I said.
00:01:36Well, that's not exactly what you said.
00:01:37I mean, you're not looking for anything serious, right?
00:01:41What?
00:01:42Well, I mean, I mean, I'm trying to start my business and you're waiting on a phone call from the library.
00:01:49I think that we're good as is.
00:01:52I mean, we don't have to put a label on anything, right, babe?
00:01:57Yeah, right. Yeah.
00:02:00Okay, well, I gotta go, so I will see you later.
00:02:03Mm-hmm.
00:02:04Adam!
00:02:15Oh, shit.
00:02:25Perfect.
00:02:27Wonderful.
00:02:28Oh.
00:02:38Okay.
00:02:45Ma'am, I need you to stop what you're doing and put your hands in the air.
00:02:49Hands above your head.
00:02:50What the hell?
00:02:51Ma'am, if you don't cooperate, I'm gonna be forced to grab you.
00:02:53No, no, no, wait, wait.
00:02:54I'm not breaking in.
00:02:55This is my apartment.
00:02:56I live here.
00:02:57What are...
00:02:58What are you doing?
00:02:59Oh, my God.
00:03:00I'm arresting you for breaking an internal.
00:03:02Oh, my God.
00:03:03This is my apartment, you lunatic.
00:03:05I live here.
00:03:08Do you have documentation to prove that?
00:03:10Yeah, check my phone.
00:03:11The lease is in my email.
00:03:12All right.
00:03:13We'll see about that.
00:03:15Email, huh?
00:03:17Where do I look?
00:03:18What do you mean?
00:03:19It's right at the top.
00:03:20Huh.
00:03:21Oh, what'd you look like?
00:03:22Yeah.
00:03:23Okay, can you uncuff me now, please?
00:03:27What's your name?
00:03:28I'm not sure.
00:03:29I'm not sure.
00:03:30I'm not sure.
00:03:31I'm not sure.
00:03:32I'm not sure.
00:03:33Who are you?
00:03:34For the record, credit card works better.
00:03:35Welcome home.
00:03:36Who are you?
00:03:37Jake, apartment D.
00:03:38Nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:03:39Welcome home.
00:03:45Who are you?
00:03:46Jake, Apartment D.
00:03:49Nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:03:52And you are...
00:03:54Noel.
00:03:55Pleasure, Noel.
00:03:57Well, if you need a cup of sugar or a guy jail free card, you know where to find me.
00:04:02How about an apology?
00:04:04For what?
00:04:05Protecting and serving, that's kind of my job.
00:04:09Oh, so your job is being an impulsive asshole who goes around cuffing innocent people?
00:04:22See you around, neighbor.
00:04:24You wish, asshole.
00:04:32Jerk.
00:04:33Who the hell does he think he is?
00:04:36You're under arrest.
00:04:38I live here.
00:04:39Hi, Aunt Shelly.
00:04:46Oh, Jakey!
00:04:47I'm so glad you answered.
00:04:48I just wanted to check in with you.
00:04:50I miss you.
00:04:51It's been so long.
00:04:53I miss you too, Aunt Shelly.
00:04:54Jake, I know these past few years have been hard for you, but your parents wouldn't want
00:04:58you to live this way.
00:04:59You're practically a recluse at this point.
00:05:02I'm fine, Aunt Shelly.
00:05:03Really.
00:05:03How about I come by?
00:05:05I can bring this lovely woman you need to meet.
00:05:07She's the daughter of my friend from Swim Aerobics.
00:05:09No, don't do that.
00:05:11I'm actually seeing someone.
00:05:14You are?
00:05:14Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, didn't know if it was serious, but she just moved
00:05:21in, so no need to set me up.
00:05:24Well, I can't wait to meet her.
00:05:25I'll pop by sometime.
00:05:26No, don't do that.
00:05:27She's shy.
00:05:29Nonsense.
00:05:30Shelly, I have to go.
00:05:48What are you doing in here?
00:05:49I heard screaming.
00:05:50I thought you were in trouble.
00:05:51Well, it's okay for you to break in, but not me.
00:05:53Listen, I only came to help, but clearly you don't need me, so I'll just leave.
00:05:57Wait, no, no, no.
00:05:58Wait, wait, wait.
00:06:00There's a spider.
00:06:06Uh, is that what all the fuss was about?
00:06:11Yeah, I just can't.
00:06:13Here, I'll escort him out.
00:06:26The spider now lives in a tree outside your window.
00:06:30I thought you were going to, um, thank you.
00:06:37Truce.
00:06:42Look, I'm sorry about earlier.
00:06:44Honestly, I thought you were trying to rob the place, and my training kicked in.
00:06:48Uh, yeah, truce.
00:06:58You were right, though.
00:06:58I was being an asshole.
00:07:01Usually, when I'm cuffing the innocent, it's consensual.
00:07:05You're cute when you're flustered.
00:07:12I'm not, I'm not flustered.
00:07:15You sure about that?
00:07:17Um, I'm seeing someone.
00:07:26Congratulations.
00:07:28Okay, yeah, so stop flirting.
00:07:30Me?
00:07:31Flirting?
00:07:31I'm just being friendly.
00:07:34Oh, we're friends now.
00:07:35I would say so, yeah.
00:07:37I saved your ass twice in less than 24 hours.
00:07:39Oh my god, however can I repay you?
00:07:41You want a loan?
00:07:42A kidney?
00:07:43Actually.
00:07:44Seriously?
00:07:45That was a joke.
00:07:46Would you pretend to be my girlfriend?
00:07:49What?
00:07:50Look, um, my aunt's coming to town, and I might have accidentally told her I'm seeing someone.
00:07:59So you lied.
00:08:00Potato, patata.
00:08:03So what do you say?
00:08:05I just told you I'm seeing someone, and you're a complete stranger.
00:08:07Why would I do this?
00:08:08But I'm not a stranger, though.
00:08:10I'm your neighbor.
00:08:12You're friendly.
00:08:13Handsome.
00:08:15Charming.
00:08:17Charitable.
00:08:18Lock picking.
00:08:19Lock picking.
00:08:20Yeah.
00:08:24Look, you would really be doing me a solid.
00:08:26It's a long story, but my aunt is really worried about me.
00:08:30She thinks I've given up on love or whatever.
00:08:32Have you?
00:08:35Well, that's not the point.
00:08:37Look, I just want to give her peace of mind.
00:08:39All you have to do is come over for one dinner, tell one little white lie, and that's it.
00:08:45You're not hurting anyone.
00:08:48Please.
00:08:48You'd be making a really wonderful woman very happy.
00:08:53She's like a second mother to me.
00:08:55I don't want to disappoint her.
00:08:57One dinner?
00:08:59One dinner.
00:09:00Fine.
00:09:01Great.
00:09:01Am I interrupting something?
00:09:11I don't know.
00:09:13No, this is my neighbor.
00:09:21Jake.
00:09:21Yeah, he was helping me with a spider.
00:09:25Babe, I told you a million times, just kill it.
00:09:28I don't...
00:09:29If you need help, you can call me.
00:09:32Right.
00:09:34Well, I should probably go.
00:09:37That's a good idea, Jake.
00:09:44I'll see you later, Novo.
00:09:45Hey, Taylor.
00:10:09Reynolds.
00:10:09I'm Reynolds today.
00:10:13Why so formal?
00:10:14I reviewed your closing numbers, and they're not where they should be.
00:10:17We need you getting through more cases per month.
00:10:19I'm working as fast as I can, boss.
00:10:22No.
00:10:23You're fixating all your time on this robbery case, and the chief told you to lay off it.
00:10:29It's not just one robbery case.
00:10:31There's a string of them, and I'm sure they're all connected.
00:10:33And proving that would make you feel like the big hero.
00:10:37It's not about my damn ego, Taylor.
00:10:38It's about justice.
00:10:39Well, I can't run a department that doesn't meet quota.
00:10:45Are you sure you're not singling me out for any particular reason?
00:10:49Excuse me?
00:10:50Are you implying something, Officer Reynolds?
00:10:53I'm not implying anything at all.
00:10:56That's what I thought.
00:10:58Now get back to work.
00:11:09Oh, my God, Jake.
00:11:18I am so sorry.
00:11:19You know, this building has gotten a lot more interesting since you moved in.
00:11:23Are you okay?
00:11:24I'm fine.
00:11:25Seriously, I'm fine.
00:11:29Um, I can get the coffee out.
00:11:31Don't worry about me.
00:11:33No, please, please.
00:11:34Let me help.
00:11:35I'm really sorry.
00:11:36Just, um, yeah, come to my apartment.
00:11:38It'll just take a few minutes.
00:11:42Whatever you say.
00:11:43Okay.
00:11:52You know, I can just bring this over to you after if you want to, you know, get changed.
00:11:59And this is the magic you're working on?
00:12:00I don't think so.
00:12:02It's just baking soda, white vinegar, and water.
00:12:06Works every time.
00:12:08You work at a dry cleaners or something?
00:12:11No.
00:12:13I work in a bookstore.
00:12:16You know the one down on Main Street?
00:12:17How do you like it?
00:12:19Um, it's not exactly my dream, but, um, it's close, I guess.
00:12:25What's the dream?
00:12:26I just got my MLIS degree to be a librarian.
00:12:32You want to be an archivist?
00:12:35Research how to print children's books at a university library.
00:12:39Specific.
00:12:42How do you get a job like that?
00:12:44Uh, turns out it's not easy.
00:12:47Hence the bookstore.
00:12:48Well, if you ever change your mind about careers, you have an excellent future and staying
00:12:59removal.
00:13:01You're flirting again.
00:13:04Can a friend compliment another friend?
00:13:06I think that's your door.
00:13:16Jake?
00:13:17Are you home?
00:13:20I should go.
00:13:24Thanks again.
00:13:25What are you doing here?
00:13:46Where were you?
00:13:47Why are you shirtless?
00:13:49Don't worry about it.
00:13:49What are you doing here?
00:13:50I wanted to apologize for earlier.
00:13:52I know you had a rough day, and, like I said, I can't keep you on that robbery case without
00:13:57the chief's permission, but maybe I can help take your mind off of it, you know?
00:14:03The way I used to.
00:14:07Taylor, we can't do this.
00:14:10Sure we can.
00:14:11We have.
00:14:12Many times.
00:14:20Nothing's changed.
00:14:27We tried.
00:14:30You're all right for each other.
00:14:32I can't give you what you want.
00:14:34You don't want me?
00:14:36I don't know what I want, Taylor.
00:14:40I never do.
00:14:44You're an asshole.
00:14:45I'm just being honest.
00:14:47Those are not mutually exclusive traits.
00:14:48You know, you can't close yourself off forever, Jake.
00:14:52One of these days, you're going to wake up and realize just how lonely you are.
00:14:57Look, Taylor, I'm sorry.
00:14:58I really am.
00:15:00I hope we can still be professional about all this.
00:15:04Look, I know you don't want a relationship, Jake Reynolds.
00:15:07But I will be the girl that changes your mind.
00:15:10Just you watch.
00:15:18Hello, Mr. Saunders.
00:15:36Noel, I need you to dust the top of the bookshelves today.
00:15:39Yes, sir.
00:15:40What an excellent use of my time and talent.
00:15:57Oh!
00:16:00Hi.
00:16:02Sorry.
00:16:03I just meant to take my over shirt off.
00:16:06Um, would you mind putting me in the direction of-
00:16:09Health and fitness?
00:16:11Back right.
00:16:13I was actually looking for Toni Morrison.
00:16:17But, uh, it's good to know.
00:16:20I come off as totally insufferable.
00:16:22Oh, my God.
00:16:23I am so sorry.
00:16:24I-I assumed.
00:16:26Has anyone ever told you not to judge a book by its cover?
00:16:28Um, uh, Toni Morrison is right there.
00:16:36I appreciate it.
00:16:38I'll go this way.
00:16:38Oh, oh.
00:16:39Sorry.
00:16:39Okay.
00:16:43Hey, what's up, babe?
00:16:45I got the book that you wanted.
00:16:48Alright.
00:16:48Alright.
00:16:58I got the book that you wanted to tell me about, um, I just heard from the university.
00:17:23I'm sorry, Noel.
00:17:24I can't talk right now.
00:17:24I'm-I'm busy.
00:17:25Right, yeah, um, okay, but maybe we could, like, get a drink after work or something.
00:17:31I think it's gonna be a late night.
00:17:33Brain check?
00:17:38Oh, my God.
00:17:39I'm definitely getting a drink.
00:17:43Oh, fuck.
00:17:48Hey, what the hell?
00:17:55Oh, fuck.
00:17:57Bye.
00:17:58Okay.
00:18:06Seriously.
00:18:09Oh, come on.
00:18:10Uh-oh.
00:18:19Noel?
00:18:20Noel?
00:18:20Noel?
00:18:20Noel?
00:18:20Noel?
00:18:20Noel?
00:18:20Noel?
00:18:21Noel?
00:18:22Noel?
00:18:22Noel?
00:18:23Noel?
00:18:23Noel?
00:18:24Noel?
00:18:24Noel?
00:18:25Noel?
00:18:26Noel?
00:18:30Why are you in my apartment?
00:18:31I'm trying to break in again.
00:18:33Actually, this is my apartment.
00:18:36Cause I'm really tired.
00:18:38I cannot entertain right now.
00:18:39I know.
00:18:40We're gonna get you home.
00:18:41I am home.
00:18:43Not quite.
00:18:45Hmm?
00:18:45Can I take it to your place?
00:18:49Mmm.
00:18:52You smell good.
00:18:53Thanks.
00:18:55Come on, let's go.
00:18:56Oh, where are we going?
00:18:57Oh, I got you.
00:18:59Oh, my God.
00:19:01You're really strong.
00:19:02I'll try.
00:19:11Noelle, this is my apartment.
00:19:15You can stay here tonight, though.
00:19:19My hero.
00:19:21OK.
00:19:22OK.
00:19:23OK.
00:19:24Um, none of that.
00:19:27You don't want to kiss me?
00:19:29You don't like me?
00:19:33I do want to kiss you.
00:19:36But not right now.
00:19:39Why not?
00:19:41Well, because you're extremely drunk,
00:19:44and also you have a boyfriend.
00:19:47I don't have a boyfriend.
00:19:50Boys don't boyfriend me.
00:19:51I don't want to kiss you.
00:19:53What about that guy I met?
00:20:03We don't think about it.
00:20:12Good night, Noah.
00:20:13in the United States?
00:20:20No.
00:20:25We just fall into each other's arms.
00:20:31Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:01Oh, no, no, no.
00:21:31You're really doing some great work.
00:21:33You should be proud.
00:21:34Keep it up.
00:21:35Damn it.
00:21:38What's got you so worked up?
00:21:39Um, nothing.
00:21:41It's nothing.
00:21:42Seriously, Jake, that case wasn't assigned to you.
00:21:45There's another robbery on Main Street.
00:21:46They've got to be connected, Taylor.
00:21:50Let me take a look.
00:21:51Did you check for prints on that banister?
00:22:00No, just the front door.
00:22:01I mean, they might match the ones from last week.
00:22:05Good catch, Taylor.
00:22:07I'll get someone around the prints.
00:22:10I'll do it.
00:22:12You get back to your caseload.
00:22:14Is this punishment for the other night?
00:22:17Punishment?
00:22:18We'll be reporting you to the chief.
00:22:20Now get back to work, Reynolds.
00:22:22You're assigned work.
00:22:23Who is it?
00:22:37It's me.
00:22:38Come on in.
00:22:40Um, hey.
00:22:42Hey.
00:22:43How you feeling?
00:22:45Uh, so I'm just coming by to say that, um, I'm sorry about last night.
00:22:52Don't worry about it.
00:22:54Um, yeah, I'm honestly not sure how I even got into your apartment, but, um, thank you for letting me sleep on your couch.
00:23:01Anytime.
00:23:02For the record, I did try to get you back to your own apartment.
00:23:05Oh, my God.
00:23:07That was a mess.
00:23:08You should have thrown me out.
00:23:11Actually, you were kind of cute.
00:23:14Oh, my God.
00:23:17No way.
00:23:18No.
00:23:19So, you don't remember anything?
00:23:26No.
00:23:27No.
00:23:27God, isn't that embarrassing?
00:23:30Okay, so, um, I'm going to retreat to my apartment in shame now.
00:23:34Bye.
00:23:36Hey, I'm making burgers.
00:23:41Want one?
00:23:43Really?
00:23:44They're good hangover food.
00:23:50Mm.
00:23:53Yeah, that's amazing.
00:23:55It tastes just like the ones my mom used to make when I was a kid.
00:23:58Is she a good cook?
00:24:00Yeah, she was.
00:24:02I'm sorry.
00:24:02I mean, she passed about ten years ago, but before she got sick, she loved cooking.
00:24:11Burgers, yes, but she also made this pound cake and put this amazing fruit compote on it.
00:24:16Yeah.
00:24:16I'm sorry.
00:24:17I'm sorry.
00:24:18I tend to ramble, as you've probably noticed.
00:24:22I'm just impressed you can talk about all this.
00:24:24It was a long time ago.
00:24:28It took a while, but, um, no, I like talking about her.
00:24:34Makes me feel like she's still here.
00:24:36I, um, lost both of my parents, as well.
00:24:45Both of them?
00:24:48Yeah, I don't talk about it much.
00:24:52You can tell me.
00:24:54If you want.
00:24:55It's, uh, kind of a heavy story.
00:25:04Hey, it's all right.
00:25:19Um, thanks for, thanks for cooking.
00:25:23Any time.
00:25:27Um, would your, um, would your pretty friend be okay with us having dinner?
00:25:34I didn't realize you met Taylor.
00:25:37Um, yeah, no, I saw her in the hallway the other day.
00:25:41Um, she's beautiful.
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:44She's your, is she your girlfriend?
00:25:46No, she isn't my girlfriend.
00:25:48We just work together.
00:25:49Um, okay.
00:25:53We were friends with benefits.
00:25:57But that was a long time ago.
00:26:06What about your guy friend?
00:26:09Oh, Adam?
00:26:10I gotta say, I don't love the way he speaks to you.
00:26:15Is he always so...
00:26:17Protective?
00:26:18I was gonna say controlling.
00:26:20Especially for someone who isn't your boyfriend.
00:26:27It's complicated.
00:26:34What was that?
00:26:35First pipe.
00:26:41Oh my god.
00:26:43Get some towels.
00:26:45Yeah, it was crazy.
00:26:47The super says there won't be water or power for, like, at least a week.
00:26:50Maybe two.
00:26:51Jeez, that sucks.
00:26:53Do you need a place to stay?
00:26:54Yeah, yeah, no, that would be great, Adam.
00:26:57A buddy of mine from work, he has a guest house.
00:26:59I'll give you his contact info.
00:27:00Right, right.
00:27:03Thanks.
00:27:03Of course, babe.
00:27:04I told you you could call me anytime you need help.
00:27:06I soaked up most of the water, but they're gonna need to completely rip out most of your plumbing.
00:27:20Can't get your break, huh?
00:27:23Do you have some place to go?
00:27:26Yeah, I'll figure it out.
00:27:28Don't worry about me.
00:27:29I'm definitely gonna worry about you.
00:27:31You can't stay here.
00:27:32No, I'll be fine.
00:27:33Look, I don't want to be weird, but I have a second bedroom.
00:27:39Do you want to stay with me?
00:27:41Really?
00:27:43What are friends for?
00:27:49Here we are.
00:27:53I really hope I'm not imposing.
00:27:55Not at all.
00:27:57Seriously, make yourself a note.
00:27:58The place is all yours.
00:27:59The bathroom is right down the hall.
00:28:01Do you have everything you need?
00:28:06Yes.
00:28:11I can't believe you're coming to my rescue yet again.
00:28:25Can I go?
00:28:28Hey, Ben.
00:28:29It's a good night, Jake.
00:28:29Oh, sorry.
00:28:39I thought you were sleeping.
00:28:40All good.
00:28:42Need anything?
00:28:43Oh, yeah.
00:28:43I just wanted a glass of water.
00:28:47Want a beer, too?
00:28:50Ah, why not?
00:28:51What are you reading?
00:29:04Case files.
00:29:07It's been a string of burglaries.
00:29:08Hopper House.
00:29:10That's what we call it when a burglary happens when the home or business is occupied.
00:29:13This one actually happened at a clothing store on Main Street, not too far away from where you work.
00:29:20Oh, jeez.
00:29:21I really want to catch this guy before someone gets hurt.
00:29:23What are you going to do if you catch him?
00:29:28In the act, I mean.
00:29:30In the act?
00:29:31I don't know.
00:29:32Here, let me show you.
00:29:37Okay.
00:29:41If you're being attacked, the first thing you need to do is stay calm.
00:29:44Now, let's say your attacker has a gun.
00:29:51In that situation, you're going to want to do two things.
00:30:00First thing, 20, and then get them all balanced.
00:30:09Good.
00:30:09That was really good.
00:30:10Yeah?
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:12You're a quick learner.
00:30:13Oh, you're a good teacher.
00:30:19Sorry, I'm probably crushing you.
00:30:22I don't mind.
00:30:25Right.
00:30:26Right.
00:30:28Mr. Complicative.
00:30:34Yes, thank you for the lesson.
00:30:36It's good.
00:30:38Okay, weirdo.
00:30:41You want another beer?
00:30:43Oh.
00:30:43No, I'm pretty tired.
00:30:46I think I'm going to go read a book in bed.
00:30:48Sure.
00:30:49Okay.
00:30:50Goodbye.
00:30:51Good night.
00:30:51Good night.
00:30:51Good night.
00:30:51Thanks.
00:30:52How's this?
00:30:52Good night.
00:30:57Good night.
00:31:00Good night.
00:31:05GG.
00:31:06Unshenny.
00:31:08What are you doing here?
00:31:09I told you I'd pop by.
00:31:10You must be the girlfriend.
00:31:17That's me.
00:31:18Oh, I'm so happy to meet you.
00:31:21I thought my nephew was going to be alone forever.
00:31:24All right, Aunt Shelly, let her breathe.
00:31:27Of course, of course.
00:31:28Silly me.
00:31:29Please, Aunt Shelly, take a seat.
00:31:31Can I get you a cup of coffee?
00:31:33Yes, please, dear.
00:31:34Okay.
00:31:35Hopefully your lovely girlfriend's manners will rub off on you, young man.
00:31:39Oh, believe me, I'm working on it.
00:31:40I like her already.
00:31:51So, Noelle, I want to know everything.
00:31:53What do you do, sweetie?
00:31:55I work in a bookstore.
00:31:56Don't be modest, babe.
00:31:58She has her MLS degree.
00:32:00That's so impressive.
00:32:02I'm looking for jobs at university libraries.
00:32:05I want to make a real contribution to my field.
00:32:07Ever since my favorite book went out of print when I was a kid,
00:32:09I've just been obsessed with researching and archiving.
00:32:12You don't have to explain it to me.
00:32:14Practically the whole family's in academia.
00:32:17You should have seen Jake's parents' library.
00:32:19It was enormous.
00:32:21Oh, what was the book called?
00:32:23The Runaway Sardine.
00:32:24I've been looking for it for a long time, but it's impossible to find.
00:32:27Oh, I love that book.
00:32:28I used to read it to Liam Oliver all the time when he was growing up.
00:32:32Oh, that's Jake's cousin, my son.
00:32:35You'll meet him at the wedding.
00:32:37Wedding?
00:32:39Jake, you didn't tell her about the wedding?
00:32:42Okay, well, this has been a very nice visit, but we have to go to work, so...
00:32:47Oh, of course.
00:32:48I'll see you after then.
00:32:49We can do dinner.
00:32:51What do you mean?
00:32:53Well, obviously I'm staying over.
00:32:55I came all this way.
00:32:56I'm going to stay a few nights with my nephew.
00:32:59Oh, don't worry.
00:33:00I won't crowd you, lovebirds.
00:33:13This is fine, right?
00:33:15Yeah.
00:33:17She needs the spare bedroom, so...
00:33:23We can make a barrier.
00:33:26Great, yeah.
00:33:53So you think we convinced her?
00:33:55Yeah, definitely.
00:33:57Very lucky you.
00:33:58Didn't even have to kiss me.
00:34:01Wasn't so bad the last time.

00:48:01i'm sorry i can't do this again
00:48:03i can't keep letting other people dictate my love life
00:48:08i think after the wedding we should take some time apart
00:48:12i think i need some space
00:48:13jakey what's wrong
00:48:34trouble in paradise
00:48:35you could say that
00:48:39i'm sure whatever it is you two will figure things out
00:48:42i mean you clearly love each other and
00:48:43aunt shelly
00:48:45no all and i aren't dating
00:48:48what are you talking about of course you are
00:48:51we're just pretending
00:48:53i didn't want you to set me up so i lied
00:48:57no it's just my neighbor convinced her to help me
00:49:00but
00:49:05i'm sorry
00:49:06i fucked everything up
00:49:10look
00:49:11i don't know what happened honey and i'm sorry if i put any pressure on you
00:49:15but maybe there's something there i mean the connection between you two is undeniable
00:49:21doesn't matter i can't give her what she wants
00:49:23jake
00:49:26it's okay to be vulnerable with another person
00:49:31i know how much it hurt you to lose the people you love but that's not a reason to stop loving
00:49:40it's too late
00:49:49you can cancel that plus one
00:49:53i'm told aunt shelley
00:50:09what
00:50:10you don't have to come to the wedding
00:50:12no jake you didn't have to do that
00:50:14it's better this way pretending to be in a relationship with you is
00:50:19confusing
00:50:20because i um
00:50:24i want
00:50:26uh
00:50:27i want to
00:50:29what what jake what what do you want i don't know okay
00:50:38you know what i think
00:50:40i think you want to have your cake and eat it too
00:50:44i think you want everything that comes with a relationship but you don't want a relationship
00:50:48jake i know you have feelings for me
00:50:52and if you're too scared to admit it then yeah maybe you're right maybe it is better to quit
00:50:57and shelly i'm so sorry stop there no we never should have lied to you
00:51:12shh look at me i know for a fact my jakey cares about you very much it's just

00:57:17Noelle!
00:57:19Noelle?
00:57:21Noelle, can you hear me?
00:57:23Noelle, can you hear me?
00:57:41Get off me!
00:57:43Get off me!
00:57:45You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney!

00:58:07Do you have the tear to spare?
00:58:12Make a promise!
00:58:15Noel Hart for possible head injury. Please be careful with her.
00:58:45When the weight paralyzes your state at the gate.
00:58:54Jake?
00:58:57Oh, it's me.
00:59:02Adam, what are you doing here?
00:59:05When I heard what happened, I rushed right over. How are you feeling?
00:59:10Um, my head hurts.
00:59:15Oh, my God. Wait, what?
00:59:16You're lucky the bullet only grazed you, and the concussion's mild.
00:59:19You'll be all right soon. You scared me, baby.
00:59:24Adam, I...
00:59:25No, hey. It's okay. I'm here. I'm never leaving you again.
00:59:30Adam, no, this doesn't change things.
00:59:32What are you talking about? Of course it does.
00:59:34That prick neighbor of yours almost got you killed.
00:59:36Jake saved me.
00:59:38Well, when are you gonna understand he doesn't care about you? Not like I do.
00:59:42He's a cop. He's just doing his job.
00:59:45And...
00:59:46Not very well either.
00:59:51Forget about him.
00:59:53I want to take care of you.
00:59:56I want you to be my girlfriend.
00:59:58God, I spent a whole year hoping you'd say those words.
01:00:07So? Is that a yes?
01:00:09Well, I told you we were done, Adam.
01:00:12And since you've never respected me, I can't say that I'm surprised you didn't hear me the first time.
01:00:16Noelle...
01:00:17No, it's over, Adam.
01:00:18Forever.
01:00:19No, it's over, Adam. Forever.
01:00:23Still I run in hands for you.
01:00:26You feel me?
01:00:29Nothing means something with you.
01:00:35Really?
01:00:37Jakey? Jakey?
01:00:38Oh, my goodness. Your message scared me half to death. You okay?
01:00:42You okay?
01:00:43I'm fine.
01:00:45You didn't have to come.
01:00:46Of course I did.
01:00:48How's Noelle?
01:00:51I'm not sure.
01:00:54I haven't seen her since the ambulance took her to the hospital last night.
01:00:57Jake! You haven't gone to see her?
01:01:02I can't go back to the hospital again.
01:01:05I just can't.
01:01:06Oh, you can. And you will.
01:01:08I almost lost her.
01:01:12I can't go through that again.
01:01:15I know you're scared, but if you don't go, you will lose her.
01:01:19And pushing Noelle away will not bring your parents back.
01:01:25Excuse me. Reynolds? Can I speak with you?
01:01:44How fucking dare you?
01:01:46You really want to do this right now?
01:01:48Should I just fire you instead?
01:01:49Fire me?
01:01:50Are you kidding?
01:01:52You broke rank.
01:01:53You disobeyed orders.
01:01:55You ran into that bookstore with no plan and no backup.
01:01:58Tell me why I shouldn't tell all this to the Chief right now and end your career.
01:02:04Don't bother.
01:02:05I quit.
01:02:10You really think you're going to get a job at any other station after I report you?
01:02:13What if I tell the Chief that not only did you abuse police resources by letting your personal feelings about Noelle cloud your judgment,
01:02:23you also knowingly hindered an ongoing investigation by telling an officer to stand down.
01:02:30Obstruction of justice is a very serious crime, Officer Walters.
01:02:34You're bluffing.
01:02:36You would never do that.
01:02:38You want to bet?
01:02:43That's what I thought.
01:02:46Excuse me.
01:02:56Knock, knock.
01:02:58It's chilly.
01:02:59How did you know I was here?
01:03:01Jake told me.
01:03:04Um, where is he?
01:03:05He's working.
01:03:08Right.
01:03:10Right.
01:03:11Of course.
01:03:12I'm sorry.
01:03:13Hospitals are hard for him.
01:03:15But I come with good news.
01:03:17What is it?
01:03:18I spoke with a friend of mine and his school is hiring.
01:03:22They need a researcher for their librarian.
01:03:25I would love to help you get your foot in the door.
01:03:27Yes.
01:03:28No, no.
01:03:29I want it.
01:03:30I was hoping you'd say that.
01:03:31You have an interview on Monday.
01:03:32Aunt Shelley, I don't know how to thank you.
01:03:35Of course.
01:03:36You're family.
01:03:45Aunt Shelley, can I speak with Noah alone for a moment?
01:03:49No.
01:03:50No.
01:03:52No.
01:03:55How are you feeling?
01:03:57Okay.
01:04:00Concussed.
01:04:02Well, I got you something.
01:04:06But...
01:04:09Maybe you should hold off till the headache wears off?
01:04:11Mm.
01:04:12No.
01:04:23Oh, my god.
01:04:27How did you?
01:04:28My parents' library.
01:04:31Unshallie wasn't kidding.
01:04:32I forgot how extensive it was.
01:04:34Seriously, it takes up a whole storage unit.
01:04:39You didn't have to.
01:04:41Yes, I did.
01:04:48Noelle, I've, um, I've avoided my feelings, all my feelings, for a very long time.
01:05:03When my parents died, I, I didn't know what I wanted.
01:05:09I just knew I didn't want to feel that pain again.
01:05:13I told myself I would do anything not to feel it.
01:05:17But last night, when I carried you out of that building, I felt that pain.
01:05:26I felt that pain.
01:05:29Loving someone means living with the risk of losing them.
01:05:33And that scares the shit out of me.
01:05:35So does the idea of living without you.
01:05:45I want to be with you, Noelle.
01:05:50I love you.
01:05:53I'm in love with you.
01:05:54I'm in love with you.
01:06:03So what do you say?
01:06:07Do you want to be my girlfriend?
01:06:09Oh my God.
01:06:11I had two offers in one day.
01:06:13I wish I'd tried getting concussed sooner.
01:06:14Two.
01:06:15Was that it me?
01:06:16Mm-hmm.
01:06:18What'd you say to him?
01:06:20I told him to leave me alone.
01:06:21Forever.
01:06:23And what'd he say to me?
01:06:25Um, hmm.
01:06:26I need to think about it.
01:06:28Yeah, that's fine.
01:06:30Take your time.
01:06:32Okay, let's do it.
01:06:34Really?
01:06:36Of course, you idiot.
01:06:38What'd you say to him?
01:06:40I told him to leave me alone.
01:06:42Forever.
01:06:44And what'd he say to me?
01:06:46I need to think about it.
01:06:48Yeah, that's fine.
01:06:50Take your time.
01:06:52Okay, let's do it.
01:06:53Of course, you idiot.
01:07:11I love you too, by the way.
01:07:13Knew it.
01:07:17So I guess you are a relationship guy after all, huh?
01:07:20Oh, Taylor's gonna be pissed.
01:07:23I quit this morning.
01:07:29What?
01:07:31No, Jake, I don't want you to have to choose between...
01:07:34I'm not.
01:07:37I became a cop because I wanted to help people.
01:07:41To protect and to serve.
01:07:43But all that department cared about was meeting quota and glad-handing donors.
01:07:48I mean, they didn't give a shit about good police work.
01:07:50How could police work?
01:07:56So I'm gonna become a private investigator.
01:08:00Not everything's about you, you know?
01:08:02Hey, hey, hey.
01:08:03I don't know.
01:08:05Okay, all right.
01:08:06Well, maybe it was a little bit about you.
01:08:08Being a PI is just safer.
01:08:10And...
01:08:12I want to be around for a long time for the people I love.
01:08:16I'm ready to go home now.
01:08:18I'm ready to go home now.
01:08:22I want to be around for a long time for a long time, too.
01:08:27Before the dawn, it's always dark.
01:08:30Before the light, there is a turn around...
01:08:33I'm ready to go home now.
01:08:36Before you run, you gotta stumble.
01:08:38I already am.
01:08:40You fall in love, but it don't work out
01:08:44When you cry at least a hundred times
01:08:47And you feel so stuck, but you can't get out
01:08:51Just remember
01:08:53There will come a day when it all works out
01:08:59And you didn't even know
01:09:01Howdy, neighbor!
01:09:02You will find a way if you hold on now
01:09:06And remember, the theory was up from here
01:09:16How did you smoke it?
01:09:18Thanks. I showered.
01:09:21So those pipes are working well, huh?
01:09:23Yeah, better than ever.
01:09:26See you after work?
01:09:28Yeah. Swing by and making burgers.
01:09:31Oh, yum!
01:09:32See, there are perks to dating the guy next door.
01:09:35Unless we break up.
01:09:37Then it'll get real awkward.
01:09:39You'll have to move out.
01:09:41Ah, see, the thing about that is...
01:09:44I was counting her first.
01:09:46I'm not leaving.
01:09:48Well, then I guess we should never break up.
01:09:53Deal.
