You get swallowed up.
You got the six o'clock slot.
Be off the stage by 6:30.
There's no pay,
but you can drink what you can drink from the bar.
What's the last song of your set?
- Um, Nora.
The song is called Nora.
- Good.
When I hear it I'll know it's almost over.

- Been nursing that drink?
- Yeah.
- Screwdriver?
- Excuse me?
- Your drink, is it?
- It's orange juice.
- You look like you could use something stronger.
- Yeah, you're probably right.
- Do you not drink?
- No, I do, just not much anymore.
- Let me guess, you're one of those
wily, unpredictable drunks.
- It's a bit more complicated.
- Oh, yeah, I pulled your card.
It's okay though.
I have a problem with control myself.
- I'm Brennan.
- I know.
- Right.
- So you remind me of somebody.
I can't place it though.
Who do you get?
- Who do I get?
- Who do people say you look like?
- Um, I get Prince a lot.
- Ha, yeah, that's it.
Except you're a little bit taller.
Maybe a little less - Black?
- Exactly.
Can you sing?
That must be it then, Prince.
Brennan, I've had a long day.
Do you want to get out of here?
- Um, yeah, sure.
- Cool.
Hey, before we go,
I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
Two-fifty gets you a…
Five hundred and I'll…
And a thousand…
But I'll do it for nine hundred because you're cute
and I want to sleep with you.
- You're a hooker.
- Where are your manners, Brennan?
I'm an entrepreneur.
You don't look happy.
What would make you happy?
- I'd like to check out, please.
But my flight doesn't leave til seven.
Can I check my bag in?
- Of course.
- This place reeks.
- Smells like air freshener.
- No, no, no, no, no, not the hotel.
This whole town, it's like a pipe dream
palace of desperation, you know?
Oh my god, did you just hear what I said?
Pipe dream palace of desperation.
Now that is a song, that is what he should be doing.
Oh god, look at him.
Can you imagine being him?
- Yeah.
- No, no, no, that is, that is not for me.
Or you, I mean look at us,
we're flying first class tonight, yes.
Oh by the way, I am very sorry
about that proposal yesterday.
I thought it was gonna go.
- You voted against it.
- Well, yeah, who would have thought one vote would matter?
No, no, no, you know, there'll be another one.
- I don't really care about it.
Well now, see, that's the spirit.
Yes, exactly, right?
I mean you'll come up with something better.
That is why you are a VeroTech man.
- What?
- A VeroTech man.
I mean, listen, it's got a great ring to it, VeroTech man.
Come on, say it with me, say,
I am a VeroTech man.
Wait, where are you going?
Hey, you wanna hang before the flight tonight?
Grab a…
- You're acting stupid, like a little girl.
- What?
- Speak, Nora, use your big kid mouth
and tell me what - You understand that?
Does this speak to you?
- Stop it!
- You lied to me!
You told me you were done, you're not.
So we are.
- We're on vacation.
I'm not gonna chase you.
Why do you play these stupid little games?
I swear to god, if you do it now,
I'm gonna go back to the hotel,
I'm gonna pack up my shit, and that is that.
- So go.
- We came here for you to celebrate.

It's just, it's just, is this real?
- Yeah, I think it is.
- You're in Nashville,
what the hell are you doing in Nashville?
- I had a meeting, and it didn't go so well.
What about you?
- I had a weekend getaway that also didn't go so well.
- Sorry.
- Your meeting, is it for
- No, no no no, I stopped.
- You gave up?
- Well, I never gave up, just.
- You've changed.
- Yeah.
- Appearance, I mean, appearance.
I can't believe how short your hair is.
- What was your getaway about?
- It's just, I can't believe you're here,
this doesn't happen.
- You mean us running into each other again?
- Yeah, it's insane.
- Yeah, it is.
So when are you going back - Grab a drink with me.
- What?
- Don't think of an excuse or a way out, just,
grab a drink with me.
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, sure.
- Really?
Okay.
- Okay.
- You sure you have time?
- You having second thoughts?
- No, I was just, I didn't want to keep you
if you were meeting someone.
- No, no, I've got nowhere to be, you?
- I'm pretty free.
Last time we saw each other.
- Your nephew was getting baptized.
- That's right.
You were leaving Seattle for Colorado.
- And I missed my flight,
so I ended up spending my last day with you and your family,
even though we both knew it was over.
- But we stood there together pretending it wasn't.
- Yeah, that wasn't uncomfortable at all.
- Not at all.
- No.
- I've seen your Facebook.
- We're not friends.
- We'll always be friends.
But you were right, on Facebook, we are not friends.
- So how did you see?
- Well, your page isn't completely private.
So I can see assorted pictures you've posted.
- That's creepy.
- It's a little creepy.
But you haven't posted in a while, not since this.
But I gather you're not married or you don't have any kids,
or if you do, you're embarrassed by them,
so you don't post any pictures.
- They're just really ugly.
- You should see mine.
They're in the car waiting for me.
It's okay, I left it running.
- You still in Seattle?
- Mmhmm.
Remember when you lived there?
- How could I forget?
- And you had that ceramic garden gnome?
- Norman.
- Norman, yes!
Oh, he was horrifying with those red eyes
and that geriatric smile.
- I used to put him in the refrigerator.
- Yes, I would go for a beer and find this fucking gnome
waiting for me.
- How come you never called?
- What would I have said?
- I don't know, any of this?
- Hmm, I don't know, maybe for the same reason
you didn't show up to my sister's wedding.
- You guys should feel these for a couple days.
- Thank you.
You don't have any place to be, right?
- Right. - Right.
- Whew.
- What's your favorite memory?
- What, favorite memory of all time?
- Of us.
- Uh, wow.
Okay, I came to your apartment
because we were going to dinner,
and you had made up this lame excuse about no reservations
and that you were flustered,
and then I went into your room to grab your coat
and you had rose petals scattered,
and candles burning, and this
Italian meal that you said you cooked.
- It was Olive Garden.
- I know.
- Yeah.
That was the moment when I knew
I could never live without you in my life.
- But you did.
- No, I didn't.
You were always there like a ghost,
haunting any relationship after you.
- Your turn.
- We were working at the bar, it was almost Christmas,
I think we'd been seeing each other for about a month.
And you'd just gotten off and left the building.
- It was so cold that day.
- And I watched you walk across the parking lot,
toward your minivan.
- I hated that car.
- I still had people in my section, but I didn't care,
I had to do something.
- So you ran outside, took off your hat.
- I grabbed you.
- And you kissed me.
- I told you merry Christmas.
- And then you turned around and just walked away.
I didn't breathe for minutes.
- I'm glad you didn't die.
- Me too!
Cause then this would be awkward.

- Picture it.
Remember the first time you went to the ocean.
Your loss of virginity.
First thing you regretted.
Your first heartbreak.
Open your eyes.
What color did you see?
- What color?
- Yeah, sometimes your dreams and memories
associate to a particular color.
- Blue.
- Blue?
- Mhm.
- Interesting.
- What's it mean?

Remember prom and cigarettes.
Cats, the salon.

The air mattress.

So who did you vote for in the last presidential election?
- Um, Voldemort.
He was a little bit darker,
but I liked that his running mate was a human-eating snake.

Facebook.
- How'd you feel?
- How did I feel knowing that you were with him?
- I guess.
- I don't know.
- You don't know?
When it comes to emotions, I think you always know
exactly how you feel.
- I guess I wondered what it felt like.
- What?
- To be with you for that long.
- He said it was like driving in oncoming traffic.
Each night you don't know how you survive.
- I guess one day he didn't get so lucky.
- He lied to me.
- Somebody else?
- No, with pills.
- But you never? - No, are you kidding?
No, and I didn't think that he would have, either.
But, yeah, looking back it made sense.
- I would not do drugs behind your back.
I wouldn't.
I wouldn't lie to you either.

and I hate, I hate that I love you again.
- You're drunk.
- I hate knowing that if this all ends, that you'll be fine.
You'll just go back home, you'll walk into the old bar,
and you'll wake up with one of those plaid-wearing dirtbags
leaning against the pool table,
he'll come up and buy a drink,
follow you back to your place, you'll take off your pants,
but you're too insecure to take off your top.
And I don't know what hurts me more,
knowing that you'll be thinking about me
or that you won't be.
Nora, wait.
- No, fuck that.
- Look, you're upset.
- Oh, yeah, you're fucking observant.
- Let's just cool off. - Fuck you!
- We should probably get up.
- Why?
- Because the alarm is going off.
- I didn't set an alarm.
- It's noon.
- No, I just, I'm hungover.
I've been hungover for like a week now.
I don't really know what to say about that.
Maybe…
Yeah, maybe, we'll see.
I better go, okay.
Yeah, you too, bye.

well, I didn't pick them, you know.
- Yeah, well, they're interesting.
Oh, and a card. - Yeah.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- You sure you don't want something?
- Bleh, no.
I still feel queasy.

- Hey.
- Not you, the food.
- Is that better?
- No, no, no don't eat me.
- Ah!
Gross, I don't eat meat.
I think I blacked out last night,
but I remember us fighting.
- We weren't fighting, we were arguing.
Disagreeing if you will.
- Oh.
Okay.
- So you leave tomorrow?
- I don't want to talk about it.
- It's our last night.
- So let's not waste it.

Ha, come up here.

- Hey, do you still have Meatball?
- Yeah, aw.
She's a little temperamental, mostly schizo, but I love her.
Even though she smells.
- Bathing her doesn't help.
- Um, no.
- By the way, that cat was an asshole.
Emory Blaine, 1931.
Beloved by his wife, Emily.
Beloved by his murderer, Emily,
who poisoned his oatmeal one night
because she secretly feared he was having an affair
with Katherine Johnson, whom she also…
- Yeah, but he got her back.
- By haunting her everyday for five years
until she went crazy and jumped from a window.
- What?
Have some respect.
- Sorry.
- You know, sometimes I see ghosts of ex-boyfriends.
I'll wake up, in the middle of the night,
and they'll be standing at the edge of my bed
in the shadows, watching me.
- They're not dead.
- No, but when I finally do wake up,
I have to text them to make sure.
- That's gotta be an awkward text.
Hey, it's me, long time,
by any chance did you die?
If so, did you haunt me last night?
- Vodka.
Makes letting them go harder.
- I never got a text, so I guess you never saw me.
- I did.
Two days ago in Nashville.
- Whatcha doing?
- Self-deprecating.
- About what?
- Being 30.
I'm drunk, in a house of judgment and forgiveness,
so I thought I would evaluate my life choices
as I approach 30.
- 30 is still young.
- Not if I want to have kids.
If I want three, I gotta start now.
- Oh, are you propositioning me?
- No, I was talking.
- I know, I was just kidding.
- Yeah, well you have the freedom, as a guy,
to kid about that, because truth be told
you can be 50, decide you want a kid,
and knock up some young girl.
- Yeah, I'm sure that's easy to do.
- I don't know why I'm thinking about this.
The future is scary.
It's heavy.
You know, I'm the only one back home who doesn't have a kid.
- Yeah, but you've got a job, one that you actually enjoy.
In this economy that's very impressive.
- Everyone thinks David and I are gonna get married.
I get to go home and destroy that image.
I'll figure it all out tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- I'll fly home, quit drinking,
go to the gym, and then make a plan.
- Don't you think it was fate that we ran into each other?
- Yeah.
- So?
- So.
- What about us?
- I'll fly into the rain and you'll fly into the snow.
- It doesn't snow in July.
- I feel like it always snows there.
- What did you do to me?
- Nothing.
- Yeah, but everything.
Last time it took me a year to get over you.
365 days with your face tattooed on the back of my eyelids.
And all the time, my brain going crazy,
wondering who you're with, what you're doing,
whether you're happy.
- You do remember that you broke up with me last time?
- You forced me to.
- Oh, yes, I put a gun to your head,
and I said, Brennan, please, please dump me.
- We were living on a lifeboat that was slowly sinking.
If I didn't get off, we were gonna drown.
- I don't remember ever going to the ocean.
- I was being metaphorical, and we did go once.
- Brennan, let's not do this.
- What?
- Get all intense and shit.
Not now, not tonight.
I just want to live in this moment.
- Don't sigh like that.
- When you get scared, all right,
you think about the future
but you don't want to talk about it,
that's a contradiction.
- You're not an open book yourself.
You get scared, too.
Why?
Because the future is fucking unpredictable
and it is scary as hell.
Yes, I'm complicated.
I'm fucked up, I'm screwed up.
But you walked away last time because of this fear.
You got terrified and you couldn't handle the pressure
because it was too tough for you.
You quit singing because of it.
Are you happy at your job?
- No.
- Do you want to be a singer?
- I don't know.
- Do you want to be a singer? - I don't know.
- Do you want to be a singer? - I don't know, I don't know.
- Do you want to be a singer? - Yes!
- Then stop being a fucking pussy, Brennan.
Stop getting frightened and work for what you want,
even if it's gonna be fucking awful at times.
- Well, what about you?
- I'm figuring that out.
I don't want to do this, I don't want to fight.
Just, can you enjoy me like I want to enjoy you?
Let's just do that.
Okay?
- I guess we could go get drunk.
- We're good at that.

- What do you want me to say?
I know what you want me to say.
I just wanna make out with you.
Eh, no, I don't like P.D.A.
- Since when?
- Since people were staring.
- You look miserable.
- So, we've talked about what we hate about each other.
Let's get into some more meat.
What is your biggest flaw, Brennan?
- Biggest flaw?
You tell me.
- This is a moment of interpersonal reflection.
Go.
- I'd say I have two.
The first is I can't concentrate.
You give me scissors it looks like I cut with my toes.
- And two?
- I'm obsessed with using my cell phone at the urinal,
and it's had disastrous results on several occasions.
- You're never taking my phone anywhere.
- In my next life, I'm coming back as a rockstar.
Perform on stage, write tragic love songs
about all my fucked up relationships,
and have 16-year-old kids recite in unison.
In your next life, who are you coming back as?
The president?
- Your boyfriend.
You turned quiet.
- It's been a long time
since anyone has treated me like this.
- All right, fine.
Oh that's good, real good.
- What's it called? - Oh.
- Let me see.
- This is going to be the greatest song
ever written on a napkin.
- I need a, I need cigarettes.
- Oh, we can leave.
- No, I have a full drink.
- I think there's a store on the next block.
- Thank you, Brennan.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- Hot damn, what a surprise to find you still here.
- So you haven't left?
- No no no, I guess Nashville has consumed us.
- What about your first class flights?
- I traded it in for an economy tomorrow morning, yes.
Oh, she is sucking the life out of me.
Yeah, I think I'm in love.
Or I don't know, what's that feeling
when your dick's always hard?
Anyway, what have you been doing?
Drinking, getting lost.
- Yeah, yeah, what's her name?
- Nora.
- Nora, okay, now that sounds like the name
of my grandmother's girlfriend, Nora.
Anyway, look, make sure you are on an early flight
tomorrow morning okay, we've got another proposal
with Nisley at noon.
This here, is a VeroTech man.
- No, I, I don't think I'll be doing that.
Why?
I don't think I'll be doing that, Steve.
Okay, but you're gonna get in trouble.
He's in trouble, yeah, he'll be in trouble.
Speaking of trouble, la la la la la la la.
- So you're upset because I didn't leave?
- I'm upset because you came here and made a scene.
Why didn't you just go - Do you know how much
it costs to change a flight?
- Where have you been?
- I've been letting you cool off.
Who do you keep looking at?
- David.
- No, no, stop, stop, don't say anything stupid.
- Anything stupid? - Look, it's always the same.
- Why don't you just go - You disappear,
you're alone, and then we're fine.
- It's not the same.
- Here's what's gonna happen.
We're gonna get on this plane,
we're gonna go home together,
and it'll be like this weekend never happened.
Who's that?
- I don't know.
Ow, let go of me, David.
- Why are you talking to me like this?
- You're hurting me, David. - You're hurting me.
- Stop it! - I said I'm sorry.
- Just stop it, let go of me!
- Are you okay?
- Yeah, yeah yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

- I don't want to be alone.
I had an abortion.
- What?
- I don't know why I told you that, in this moment,
but I felt like I needed to.
- When was it?
- It was five years ago.
We hadn't talked in a year.
I think you were dating that blonde with the funky name.
I remember thinking that I wish it was yours.
We would've kept it.
It would've been five.
You say that you love me.
I want you to love… me.
- I do. - Don't say anything.
Just float with me.
- Yeah.
- I love you.
- Wait what, what are you doing?
- I want to remember.
- What, that cigarette?
- This trip.
This moment.
I want to remember.
- Me too.
Come on, don't make me deal with it.
- I don't want to hurt you.
- Just do it.
- Sorry.
- I'm not gonna go back to Colorado.
I'm gonna stay here.
- This motel is a dump.
- I meant Nashville.
I feel…
I feel right here.
Will you come back?
- Will you sing your song?
- Yes.
