00:00So Emily is what? Like your college sweetheart?
00:03It's amazing how you do that.
00:05Well, you take the simplest statement and then you twist it with a completely negative connotation.
00:10It's really actually impressive.
00:12I didn't mean to do that.
00:13But I understand.
00:14I actually think it's very sweet.
00:15I get it. You did it again.
00:17Really?
00:17Yeah.
00:18I don't even know I'm doing it.
00:19It's only hard for you to imagine a relationship based on mutual respect without even the slightest hint of whatever
00:24you call it.
00:25Masochism.
00:25Well, if your deal with Emily is so gosh darn wonderful, then why don't you just marry her?
00:31What's stopping you?
00:34Nothing.
00:37Wow.
00:41She gets in tomorrow.
00:42I made a reservation at some fancy French restaurant on the Upper East Side.
00:45Oh, my God. You're doing it in front of a room full of strangers?
00:49Yeah. Yeah. And what's wrong with that?
00:51No, nothing. I think it shows confidence.
00:53What are you going to say?
00:55I'm still working on it. I don't know.
00:56Oh, you should work on it with me. You should practice with me. I'm really good at that.
00:59I will be Emily.
01:02I'm Emily, your college sweetheart.
01:04Is there something you wanted to ask me?
01:07Emily.
01:07Wait. You've got to get down on your knee.
01:09No, I'm not getting down on my knee.
01:11She'll like it. She'll like seeing you down on your knee.
01:14I'm not getting down on my knee.
01:17Such a mistake.
01:18Okay.
01:19Emily.
01:20Yes, William.
01:21Don't make me laugh.
01:22Emily.
01:24Will you, um, marry me?
01:31No.
01:33Oh, my God.
01:35What do you mean, will you, um, marry me?
01:36I haven't seen you in weeks.
01:38You don't look happy or excited about the prospect of our marriage.
01:41You're asking me to give up my, my freedom, my joie de vivre for an institution that fails
01:48as often as it succeeds.
01:49And why should I marry you anyway?
01:51I mean, why do you want to marry me?
01:53Besides some bourgeois desire to fulfill an ideal that society embeds in us from an early
01:58age to promote a consumer capitalist agenda.
02:00Oh!
02:02Oh, my God.
02:03You should have got on your knee.
02:05Just shut up.
02:08Here.
02:11I want to marry you because you're the first person that I want to look at when I wake up
02:15in the morning and the only one I want to kiss goodnight.
02:18Because for the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able
02:24to hold them.
02:26But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing
02:33left to do.
02:35So, will you?
02:43I'll marry me.
02:46Definitely.
02:48Maybe.
02:50I have to think about it.
02:54Walk me home.
03:06You want a cup of tea?
03:08Yeah.
03:09I'd love one.
03:13Hey, how come you have so many copies of Jane Eyre?
03:16It's a long story.
03:18Really?
03:19It seems to be about 300 pages or so.
03:24Seriously, why?
03:25Uh, for my 13th birthday, I wanted a pair of gold stud earrings.
03:31And instead, my dad bought me a hardcover copy of Jane Eyre.
03:35And inside, he wrote a beautiful inscription, which I could care less about at the time, seeing
03:40as I was so pissed about the earrings, which was tragic as it turned out, because it was
03:45the last present he ever gave me.
03:47What do you mean?
03:48Uh, he died three weeks later in a car accident.
03:52Jeez.
03:54That's awful.
03:56I'm sorry.
03:58Have you ever read it?
03:59No.
04:00I read it every year or two.
04:03Each time it's different.
04:04It tells me different things.
04:07Anyhow, when I went away to college, my mom sold our house, and summer along the way,
04:13Jane Eyre got lost.
04:15Now, every time I pass a second-hand bookstore, I, uh, look for the copy that my dad bought
04:21me for my birthday.
04:23I know I'll never find it.
04:24It's stupid.
04:25But it's become this, uh, it's like weird, superstitious thing.
04:29It's not stupid.
04:31Thanks.
04:32I'll be.
04:33What are all these?
04:35Oh, these are, these are the ones I found that have inscriptions.
04:42With love and hopes and dreams of second chances.
04:46Alice.
04:49What is this?
04:51This is Kurt Cobain.
04:52This is Nirvana.
04:54Do you like it?
04:56Yeah, I do.
04:59You think it's ridiculous that I want to be a politician, don't you?
05:02Yes.
05:04No, no, I get the whole politician thing.
05:07It's easy to like you.
05:08That's true.
05:09That's, that's very true.
05:11I just wonder if you want people to like you a little too much.
05:15That's also true.
05:17I should want them to hate me.
05:20I'm going to start working on that right away.
05:21You got any tips for me?
05:23No, you're off to a great start.
05:24I'm hating you already.
05:26Good.
05:27What do you want to be when you grow up?
05:28You're too smart to be making Xeroxes and babysitting.
05:32Oh, I don't know.
05:33Or else you do.
05:35I don't know.
05:36And I don't know how to know.
05:38You know?
05:41You know what I really want to do?
05:43Is I want to go to all those places that I know nothing about.
05:48I've been saving money.
05:51But I can't even get it together to do that.
05:53Probably because I'm stuck in a rut with this guy.
05:55You should double.
05:57I know that's none of my business, but you're too good for him.
06:02You are.
06:05You know what's really cool?
06:07I don't.
06:08We can just sit here.
06:10We don't have to worry about flirting or all the attraction stuff.
06:15That stuff.
06:16Very cool.
06:37I gotta go.
06:43Dumb!
06:48If you would take things under consideration
06:52And walk down this aisle with me
06:56I would love it, yeah
06:59Well, I say it's early in the morning
07:04Ooh, it's a quarter to three
07:11We're sitting here talking
07:13Over cigarettes and drinking coffee
07:18Come on.
07:27Dumb!
07:40Order!
07:50There he is.
07:52Told you it wouldn't be long.
07:54Hi, I wanted to surprise you.
07:56I took the red eye.
07:58That's incredible.
08:00I was just telling Emily how Arthur sent you to Albany as part of the advanced team.
08:05Advanced team?
08:06Yeah, how'd it go?
08:07How'd it go?
08:09Yeah, I'm doing great.
08:10Great.
08:10Great.
08:11Great.
08:12Are you okay?
08:14Oh, yeah, I just get a little exercise.
08:16I ran up the stairs.
08:17Okay, I'm going to the office.
08:19It's, uh, got a big day.
08:22Nice meeting you.
08:22And you.
08:23Okay.
08:24Okay.
08:26Good luck.
08:30Hi.
08:31Hi.
08:32Oh.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Yeah.
08:37Hey.
09:02I told you New York was going to change you.
09:06I told you New York was going to change you.
09:07Could we maybe go for a walk?
09:09Yeah.
09:09Um, just, uh, just get some air?
09:11Yeah, you could see New York.
09:12I would love that.
09:13So did I ever tell you...
09:15I was going to...
09:15Oh, sorry.
09:16Huh?
09:17No, go.
09:17Oh, um, I was going to say, uh, did I ever tell you about the day my dad proposed to
09:23my mom?
09:24No.
09:26Well, dad was on his way to meet my mom to propose, and he runs into his ex-girlfriend,
09:33Caroline Hopper.
09:35And they're talking, they're looking at each other, and all these old feelings, they start
09:39coming up, and he's thinking, I could run away right now with Caroline Hopper.
09:46Be a happy man.
09:48All I have to do is kiss her.
09:50But instead, he looks up, and he sees my mom, walking around the corner.
10:00In that moment, he knows that he had no reason to be afraid.
10:04You understand?
10:08Am I Caroline Hopper in this story, or your mom?
10:12Oh, my God, I'm your mom!
10:14Emily, when I saw you this morning, I knew...
10:16Put that back in your pocket.
10:17Just stand up.
10:18Will, stop.
10:18Where are you?
10:19Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let's just think about this.
10:20Oh, Will, just take a step back.
10:22Just like the day of the mic.
10:23Will!
10:25I thought, but Charlie!
10:29Oh.
10:33I thought we had a plan.
10:36Well, you had a plan.
10:38Will, you have a really big plan.
10:40No, I'm pretty sure we both had that plan, yeah?
10:41I just can't keep pretending that I want to be part of you, and I didn't know how to tell
10:45you.
10:45How do you tell someone that you care about that you don't want the same things they want
10:48anymore.
10:48The best way?
10:49The best way?
10:50Definitely having sex with the roommate.
10:53It was cowardly, and I'm sorry.
10:56I will get away.
11:05You're killing me.
11:08No, I'm not.
11:10I'm letting you go.
11:12Because if we stay together, Will, we're going to be miserable.
11:15I'm going to hold you back from all these incredible dreams that you have.
11:19And then eventually you're totally going to hate me for it.
11:22I know.
11:23Yes, Will.
11:24I don't want that, and you don't want that.
11:27Trust me.
11:33You're going to be just fine, Mr. Hayes.
11:36Without me.
11:40Wow.
11:42Yeah.
11:44Wow.
11:46Wow.
11:50Wow.
