Hi!
I'm sorry?
Why?
Why what?
Why are you sorry? I just said 'hi.'
No, I didn't know if you were talking to me, so...
Aw, c'mon, live dangerously. Take the leap and assume someone is talking to you in an otherwise empty car.
Anyway. Sorry. Hi.
You're not a stalker or anything, right?
I'm not a stalker. *You're* the one that talked to me, remember?
That is the oldest trick in the stalker book.
Really? There's a stalker book? Great, I gotta read that one.
Joel, I'm not a concept. Too many guys think I'm a concept or I complete them or I'm going to make them alive, but I'm just a **** up girl who is looking for my own peace of mind. Don't assign me yours.
I remember that speech really well.
I had you pegged, didn't I?
You had the whole human race pegged.
Probably.
I still thought you were going to save me. Even after that.
I know.
This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon.
I know.
What do we do?
Enjoy it.

This- this is...yeah, this is about what it should look like.
So go.
I did. I thought maybe you were a nut... but you were exciting.
I wish you had stayed.
I wish I had stayed too. NOW I wish I had stayed. I wish I had done a lot of things. I wish I had... I wish I had stayed. I do.
Well I came back downstairs and you were gone!
I walked out, I walked out the door!
Why?
I don't know. I felt like I was a scared little kid, I was like... it was above my head, I don't know.
You were scared?
Yeah. I thought you knew that about me. I ran back to the bonfire, trying to outrun my humiliation.
Was it something I said?
Yeah, you said "so go." With such disdain, you know?
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You know me, I'm impulsive.
That's what I love about you.
