00:00🎵
00:29Good morning.
00:34You could say that.
00:36How did you sleep?
00:40Well, between the talking and the sleep and the stealing of the covers, not too well, actually.
00:46Yeah, Droolstein on your pillow begs to differ.
00:49I do not drool!
00:51Like a basset hound.
00:53I do not drool!
00:55If you tell anyone I do, then I'll just mention how you moan in your sleep about your mom taking away your Barbie dolls.
01:02Okay, I didn't...
01:03Only for about 20 minutes.
01:05Okay, in that case, I suck no drool.
01:12You know what my favorite thing about it is?
01:15What?
01:18Do you know where I got that scar?
01:21No.
01:22Do you know who my sixth grade teacher was?
01:24No. Well, mine was...
01:28You're ruining my favorite thing.
01:30Okay, I'm sorry.
01:33Okay, you lost me at the scar.
01:37The point is, I wasn't there for every day of your life up until now, and you weren't here every day of mine.
01:44This is supposed to be a good thing?
01:46Living without the weight of 18 years of expectation? Yes, it's a good thing.
01:52Think about it.
01:54At this point, all I really know about you and your childhood is that...
01:59You used to play with Barbie dolls.
02:01Okay, it wasn't a doll!
02:03Or it was...
02:07Okay, so maybe it was...
02:09Barbie looks really hot naked.
02:13Whatever you say.
02:16Hey, and look, there are rules about information obtained while in bed.
02:21Locked away.
02:26So did you have the Malibu Beach House? Because I always wanted the Malibu Beach House!
02:32Oh! Oh!
02:34Ah! No! No!
02:37My heart is in my hands
02:42My head is in the clouds
02:46My feet have left the ground
02:48My life is turning around
02:54Every voice inside my head
02:59Is telling me to run
03:02Like men on bows and arrows
03:05Stars and sunsets
03:07Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:10Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:12Every heartbeat
03:14Every kiss
03:15Just makes me wonder
03:18What all this is
03:20Suits of armor
03:22Hearts and arrows
03:24Hey, hey, hey, yeah
03:30So, you didn't read the memo?
03:32Do I look like the kind of guy who reads memos?
03:34It was in the envelope with our paychecks.
03:37It contained the phrase, under new management.
03:39Now, this rings any bells?
03:40Look, I'm telling you, there's no way that Danny's gone.
03:43I talked to him right before we went on vacation,
03:45and he didn't mention anything to me about leaving.
03:47Pacey, not to burst your boy crush bubble,
03:49but didn't Danny always used to say that someday he'd look up
03:52and he'd be gone in search of greater culinary adventures?
03:54Yes, but I think he would have told me first.
03:56Well, you know what?
03:57If you'd read the memo, you'd see that day had come.
04:00Audrey, that doesn't make any sense.
04:02Danny loves this place. He's not going to just up and quit.
04:05I don't think that he had any choice, Pacey.
04:08You think they would fire Danny?
04:11Like I'm going to go away on vacation for five days,
04:13and the guy's just going to disappear.
04:15He's just going to be gone.
04:16I don't know. I don't speak corporate.
04:18But the memo sounded like some big conglomerate
04:21bought the place and wants to turn it into a chain or something.
04:23Since when are we an organization that communicates via memo?
04:28Yeah, since now, apparently.
04:31Closed for lunch.
04:33Staff meeting with the new manager at three.
04:40Would it have killed someone to call us?
04:42I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation for all of this.
04:46Logical? Yes.
04:48Good. No.
04:58Hey, you're not going to believe the news I have.
05:01Charlie, don't they have classes at Boston Bay?
05:03Well, yeah, sure, but no one goes to them.
05:06Explains a lot.
05:07So let me get this straight.
05:08You were waiting out here this entire time?
05:10No, no, no, no, no.
05:11I was not waiting out here this entire time.
05:15Okay, well, most of the time.
05:16Anyway, what do you know about Lust to Love?
05:19Excuse me?
05:20They're a band, Lust to Love.
05:21They're like a Go-Go's tribute thing.
05:23There are people who actually want to relive the Go-Go's?
05:25Yeah, sure, of course.
05:26I mean, the Go-Go's rocked in their time, of course.
05:29Anyway, we opened up for them a couple weeks ago,
05:31and now Lloyd is dating Natasha, their drummer.
05:34A real tour?
05:35Yes.
05:36I mean, nothing too fancy.
05:37You know, just basic indie rock, DIY thing, you know,
05:40and ten cities, in a van.
05:42I mean, this is exactly what we've been looking for.
05:45Charlie, that's amazing.
05:47Congratulations.
05:49So when do you guys go?
05:51The summer?
05:52No, actually, we hit the road Monday.
05:55But it's the middle of the semester.
05:57Well, sure, yeah.
05:58I mean, it's the middle of the semester.
06:01But it's the middle of the semester.
06:03Well, sure, yeah.
06:04But, I mean, the rest of the guys are not even in college,
06:06and the way I see it, I mean, I figure I can put in a few incompletes,
06:09make up stuff next year, I mean, unless we hit it big.
06:12Well, sounds like you've got it all figured out.
06:15Almost.
06:19I think you should come with me.
06:23Charlie, you can't be serious.
06:26You're not asking me to drop out of school and go on tour with you.
06:30I mean, this is my life.
06:32Worthington College, I love it here.
06:36So you're saying you think I shouldn't go.
06:39No, I'm saying I don't think that I should go.
06:43Right.
06:45Okay, I'm sorry.
06:46I know I'm not being fair.
06:49It's just that this thing between us, we just got it started.
06:53And it took me a really long time to get you to even consider me as a prospect.
07:04I guess what I'm trying to say is just that I don't want this to end just yet.
07:15You're not leaving right this second, are you?
07:18No.
07:20It's not over yet.
07:23All right, so at the top, obviously, we apologize for rescheduling.
07:27And then I say we get right to talking about the movie, all right?
07:30How we made it, how much it cost, whatever.
07:33But if you let me do most of the talking, I think you'll find the whole thing goes over much better.
07:38Why?
07:39Well, I don't want to hurt your feelings, Dawson, but you're a little dry.
07:44I mean, camera angle this, lighting the shot that.
07:48Trust me, this is what I do.
07:49I shine in meetings.
07:51You've had meetings?
07:52Well, you know, practice meetings with family members.
07:58Great.
07:59Would you stop worrying so much?
08:01Oliver, how many agents did we send this movie to?
08:04Fifty.
08:05Sixty.
08:06How many actually answered our letter?
08:07One.
08:08Trust me, we got no worries here.
08:10You're a terrific director, and I'm a phenomenal writer.
08:14After today, when someone asks us, do you two gentlemen have representation?
08:18We can say, why, yes.
08:20Yes, we do.
08:21Plenty of people are talented, Oliver.
08:22Not all of them have agents.
08:23That's true.
08:24You know why?
08:26Because it's all about presentation.
08:28We go in there looking like a million bucks.
08:30Who's going to turn us down?
08:34Huh?
08:37I know I'm going to regret asking this, but how exactly do I do that?
08:40Okay.
08:42You seen the movie Rain Man?
08:44Yeah.
08:45Well, remember when they're coming down the escalator in Vegas?
08:49This isn't going where I think it's going, is it?
08:51That was a kick-ass entrance!
08:52Oliver, no.
08:53How great would that go over?
08:54We'd look like the ultimate team.
08:56We're not going to go to this meeting wearing matching suits.
09:00How about just matching shirts?
09:02Huh?
09:04Come on, we'd look like Siegfried and Roy!
09:07Aww.
09:10Wait a minute.
09:11Let me just get this straight.
09:12He waited for you after class and then he asked you to go with him?
09:16Yes.
09:17On tour?
09:18Yes.
09:19To sing, right?
09:20No.
09:21To be his girlfriend.
09:24Oh, Charlie!
09:26Charlie Todd, the boy who'll break your heart and then start in on your sister?
09:31Yes, the roguishly handsome bad boy we've grown to know and love.
09:34Gone.
09:35Vanished.
09:36Elvis has left the building.
09:38Yes.
09:39Well, no he hasn't.
09:40He's actually downstairs right now buying snacks from the vending machine.
09:44He's here?
09:45Now?
09:46He wants to spend as much time together as possible before he leaves.
09:50Oh, so what's the problem?
09:53Audrey, many levels have been skipped here.
09:56Many, many levels.
09:58Yeah, but it is kind of romantic, isn't it?
10:01I mean, this boy drives halfway across the country to sweep you off your feet
10:05and now he wants you to join him on the open road for some great adventure?
10:09It's not romantic, Audrey.
10:11It's frightening and it's getting worse.
10:13How much worse?
10:14Well, when he found out I wasn't really up for the mission of madness,
10:17he started to talk about staying.
10:20I believe the word us may have even been used.
10:23Oh, yikes!
10:25More levels.
10:26All right, but he's not going to, though, right?
10:29Stay, I mean.
10:30Well, no, but...
10:31So, chill out!
10:33I'm sure you're just overreacting a little.
10:35Besides, it sounds like the worst thing that could happen is that you hurt his feelings a little bit.
10:40And wow, bonus, who knew that Charlie Todd had any feelings?
10:45Oh, my God.
10:46I've got to go.
10:47I'm supposed to meet Pacey outside.
10:49We have to go meet the new manager of civilization.
10:52New manager?
10:53Yeah.
10:54All right, you and my mom.
10:57Hello, Audrey.
10:59Bye, Charlie.
11:03Bye.
11:19I hope this thing is over quickly.
11:21Let me tell you something.
11:22If there's flair involved, I just want you to know I'm quitting.
11:25Did you get a hold of Danny yet?
11:27No, I didn't.
11:29And the message on his home answering machine says something about New York for the weekend,
11:32and I don't know how long he's going to be in the car.
11:36Excuse me?
11:38Excuse me, can I get your attention, please?
11:42If everyone's here, I guess we'll get started.
11:45I'm Alex Pearl, and as I'm sure you've all heard, civilization was sold last week.
11:51Now, the old owners and the old chef have already moved on to new prospects,
11:56but they built something here so successful that the new owners are looking to expand it into a series of restaurants.
12:05You mean a chain?
12:07More like multiple locations with similar atmosphere and menu.
12:12You have a problem with that?
12:14No, no.
12:16I just have a little problem with people being forced out of things that they built with their own two hands.
12:23Well, I can assure you that nobody walked away from this deal poverty-stricken.
12:28After all, that is why people get into the restaurant business.
12:32Why, to make money?
12:34That's why we're all here, isn't it?
12:37Now, as manager of this location, I'll be instituting a lot of changes, not only in policy, but also in staff.
12:46Invariably, some of you will be let go.
12:49Some of us?
12:51I'm sorry, but have you been elected to speak for the entire staff?
12:56Oh, no. I apologize. I didn't realize that we had to be allowed to speak.
13:01You will be, individually.
13:05Over the course of the evening, I'll be speaking with each of you about your employment prospects.
13:11In the meantime, I hope you'll take any free time that you have to familiarize yourself with our employee handbook.
13:19That sound you just heard? That was all the fun leaving the building, PC.
13:23As for those of you who will be let go, I apologize. It's nothing personal.
13:28It's just that some personalities don't mesh.
13:33That's all for now. Thank you.
13:41Okay, it's official. She's the devil.
13:44Relax, will ya? We don't know how bad this is yet.
13:47You better hope it doesn't get too bad, Mr. I've-been-elected-to-speak-for-the-staff,
13:51because you didn't make the most stellar first impression.
13:54Why don't we just get through the dinner rush, and we can compare notes later, okay?
13:58Okay.
13:59Okay.
14:03Pacey? Pacey Witter.
14:07Yeah?
14:08I'm Alex Pearl.
14:10It's nice to meet you.
14:12Nice to meet you. I apologize if I seemed harsh back there.
14:15I would hate to seem as if I don't welcome employee feedback.
14:20As a matter of fact, you're first on my list. If you could follow me to my office?
14:24Sure.
14:25Great. Come on.
14:39Smile, Pacey. It's not the end of the world.
14:42Well, that's easy for you to say. You're not about to lose your job.
14:45You don't like authority much, do ya?
14:48Not really, no.
14:50But you liked Danny Brecker.
14:53Well, the man taught me everything I know.
14:55Including your attitude?
14:57Most especially my attitude.
15:00So I've heard.
15:04Which is why you're firing me now?
15:06Is that what you want?
15:08No. Believe it or not, I need this job and I want to stay.
15:14Good. Because it was my plan to promote you.
15:21I need someone with leadership abilities in the kitchen.
15:24At least until I hire someone permanent, of course.
15:29Are you being serious?
15:31Do I look serious?
15:33Yes, you do.
15:36Honestly, don't you think that I'm a little inexperienced for that kind of responsibility?
15:41Oh, all you have to do is maintain the status quo, Pacey.
15:46Look, if you can't handle it, there are several other people that I could ask.
15:49No, no. I can handle it.
15:51Both confident. I like that.
15:57Don't you think you better get to work?
16:00Yes, absolutely. And thank you.
16:04And you're welcome.
16:07Okay.
16:20You are coming to the show tonight, right?
16:22Of course. I wouldn't miss your farewell to Boston.
16:29Listen, will you stop standing here for a second?
16:33Okay.
16:36I've been thinking a lot about what happened this morning, right?
16:40And, you know, the part where I came and talked to you about the tour.
16:44You know, it didn't go exactly the way I planned.
16:50Yeah, it was a little awkward.
16:52Yeah, and...
16:55You know, I was thinking that...
16:59Maybe I shouldn't go.
17:03You mean not go on the tour?
17:05I mean, you're right.
17:07You know, school is important, you know?
17:09I mean, maybe it's not important to me, but, you know, in theory, school's important.
17:14You know?
17:15But it can wait.
17:17I mean, I already got one opportunity, and others are bound to happen.
17:23Until then.
17:33Look, we're gonna have a good time together.
17:35I mean, hell, we can start our own band, right? You and me.
17:41Charlie, I can't...
17:49I don't think this is a good idea anymore.
17:52Look, I know you have your doubts about me, Joey Potter.
17:56And you should.
17:58Hell, some days I have my doubts about me.
18:01But...
18:03It's not too late for me to prove I can be a person of substance.
18:10It's not about you proving to be a...
18:20We are going to be great together, Joey.
18:23You and me.
18:25I know this is the right decision.
18:29Talk to you later.
18:32Life fulfilled with excitement breeds more of this.
18:56Alright, this is our last chance to go for a new strategy before we get in there.
19:00This guy's gonna keep us waiting at least another half an hour.
19:03It's a power thing. He's playing games with us.
19:06Or he's actually busy.
19:11Whoa.
19:12What?
19:13Did you see that?
19:14What?
19:15The receptionist. I think she just checked me out.
19:21I'm starting looking over here.
19:23I bet she was.
19:26You think I should ask her out?
19:28No.
19:30Yeah, it's the whole long distance thing.
19:32She lives in New York, I live in Boston.
19:34Right. Exactly, that's it.
19:36But you know...
19:39If she's willing to go for it, it might work out.
19:48Okay.
19:49Maybe I'm gonna go out.
19:52She looks busy now.
19:55Yes!
19:56Pulp Fiction 2.
20:01Come on.
20:06How'd it go? Not too bad, huh?
20:08Worse.
20:09Come on, the woman is not the devil.
20:11She's just putting up a tough front to intimidate us.
20:14Trying to make us respect her. I bet 10 to 1 it will not last.
20:18Okay, well, you can let me know how it all turns out, okay?
20:21I guarantee you. You wanna see it for yourself?
20:23No, actually I won't. Because I'm no longer an employee of civilization.
20:28You quit?
20:29No.
20:31Wench fired me.
20:33She did what?
20:35Are you gonna make me say it again?
20:38I'm sorry. Look, this is not a big deal, okay?
20:41In fact, it's an easy fix. Why don't you just go home, take the night off and relax.
20:45And I will talk to her.
20:47How good is that gonna do?
20:49Well, it can't hurt, right?
20:51I'm willing to go out on a limb and be optimistic here.
20:53And tell you that I can guarantee you I'll have your job back by tomorrow afternoon.
20:59You promise?
21:00I promise.
21:06Yeah, so screw them if they can't take a joke.
21:09Sorry about that.
21:11Sorry about keeping you guys waiting all day in Ruvala.
21:15It's awesome there. Don't worry about it. We're thrilled to be here.
21:19Thirst for vengeance?
21:21You weren't responsible for that, were you?
21:23We packaged it, yes.
21:25We were just talking about that movie on the way down, actually.
21:28It was a really interesting choice to have him direct that movie.
21:30Yeah, but that script?
21:32Bazooka comics have more depth than that.
21:37Must be the writer.
21:39Yeah.
21:41We both are, actually.
21:43Which is kind of what makes us such a good team.
21:46Because Oliver, in addition to knowing what he likes, also has the ability to think big.
21:52In almost operatic terms.
21:54And you reign him in.
21:55Right.
21:56As a director, I've learned that sometimes you just have to think in terms of what's logistically possible,
22:00otherwise you won't get anything out of film.
22:02And you did something far beyond the usual student film.
22:06Believe me, I've seen a lot of them.
22:10So, what I wanted to discuss with you gentlemen...
22:13Can I interrupt for a moment?
22:16Sure.
22:17Because we don't have a lot of time.
22:19Actually, we have a couple more meetings today.
22:21Mostly production companies.
22:23More on the edgier, indie side.
22:26Not that we're opposed to, you know, compromising our artistic integrity there on a couple bucks.
22:35The point is, what is it that Hollywood is always looking for, but never seems to find enough of?
22:43Is this a riddle or something?
22:45Don't worry, I got this.
22:48Young talent!
22:51And that, my friend, is what me and my partner are.
22:53We are young, and we're talented.
22:57I would agree on both counts, which is why I asked you to come meet with me.
23:02So let's cut to the chase, shall we?
23:04Or we could just listen to what the man has to say.
23:07Where does that term come from?
23:09Or we could just listen to what the man has to say.
23:11Where does that term come from?
23:13Anyway, cut to the chase. It's a Hollywood term.
23:16No one wanted to just sit through boring hours of narrative.
23:20They wanted to get right to the exciting chase sequence.
23:23Isn't that right?
23:24I believe it is, yeah.
23:26Thus...
23:29Cut to the chase.
23:34Okay, that ends another fascinating edition of Anatomy of a Phrase.
23:39Is he... okay?
23:45Depends what you mean by that term.
23:47I'm just sort of wondering if he's on some kind of drugs.
23:50Ha!
23:54No. No, he's just eccentric.
23:56Look, Mr. Wallet, we don't mean to waste your time.
24:00Well, in that case...
24:03Oliver...
24:05Dawson...
24:06Dawson...
24:08It's nice to meet you both.
24:13Thanks for stopping by.
24:18We'll be in touch.
24:22I told you this was going to happen, Andre.
24:24You said I was overreacting, but I wasn't, was I?
24:28You are still coming with me tonight, right?
24:30Make it seem less like a date?
24:32Yeah, sure. Now that I'm fired, what else have I got to do?
24:35It's official. I'm a horrible person.
24:37You are so not a horrible person!
24:40I am! I'm the worst kind of person because I suck these boys into my web,
24:44and then I make them give up their dreams until they're left sad and dreamless and living in Boston.
24:51Yeah? Well, what about you? What about your dreams?
24:57I have my dream.
24:59This is it.
25:00Well, you need to dream bigger.
25:03Andre...
25:05Right. Okay.
25:06First of all, you need to stop it with the circles because you're making me nauseous.
25:10And secondly, if you felt this strongly about it, why didn't you just tell Charlie to go on the tour?
25:17I tried.
25:19Then he dropped his bombshell and then left.
25:23I suppose there was kissing involved.
25:27I suppose.
25:29Okay. Well, I get it.
25:31Get what?
25:32The problem.
25:34Face it.
25:35It would be hard for any girl to look into those rock-hard abs and say,
25:39Charlie, I'm sorry.
25:40You think you could just get the hell out of town and never call me for the rest of my life?
25:44Andre, that's not it.
25:46Oh.
25:47I don't want to hurt his feelings.
25:48I mean, how do you tell someone who's obviously into you that you're not into them?
25:55I'm not ready to be anyone's girlfriend, and I certainly don't want anyone to change their life for me.
26:00Are you sure that's what he's doing?
26:02He says he wants to prove to me that he can be a person of substance.
26:05Oh.
26:07This is much worse than I'd imagined.
26:20Apologize for the mistake and offer a dessert with our compliments.
26:25Okay, what's going on in here?
26:27We've got three tables waiting for their food.
26:29Look, you know what?
26:30This is really not a great place for you to be standing.
26:31It's kind of a high-traffic area, so if there's something I can help you with...
26:34Yeah, I need to know how many lobsters we serve tonight.
26:36I think we're ordering too many from the vendor.
26:38We are, but Danny has to deal with the guys, so it's okay.
26:40Ah, ah, ah.
26:41Changes.
26:42Pacey, remember what I said about changes.
26:44Actually, it's funny that you should mention that,
26:46because there is something that I want to discuss with you.
26:48It's regarding one of the waitresses that you fired today.
26:50Well, I fired a lot of waitresses today, Pacey.
26:53You're going to have to refresh my memory.
26:55She's young and blonde and...
26:57Ooh, my favorite combination.
26:59Look, she's actually a wonderful waitress,
27:01and if you gave her a chance, I'm sure that she would...
27:03Do you have some kind of special interest in her?
27:07Well, yeah.
27:08She is my girlfriend.
27:10Whoa.
27:12Um, this is not the time to talk about this.
27:15Food, customers...
27:17Of course not. Right, work. I understand.
27:19But if you want to come and see me later, that'd be fine.
27:23Sure.
27:31What's in your favor?
27:32Just tell me what you want.
27:34I don't know.
27:35I don't know.
27:36I don't know.
27:37I don't know.
27:38I don't know.
27:39What's in your favor?
27:40Just tell me that you have no idea what you did there,
27:43because I'm going to look a whole lot more charitably at this whole fiasco
27:46if you just plead ignorance.
27:48Okay, so I got a little carried away.
27:51A little.
27:53Oliver, you're always doing this.
27:55You're always pretending that we're something we're not.
27:57What the hell is wrong with being what we are?
27:59We're amateurs.
28:00I was just trying to keep the conversation going.
28:03I didn't want there to be any sad, terrifying silences.
28:07You mean like the one that happened after you called the guy's movie a piece of crap?
28:11Okay, I could have been more diplomatic about that.
28:14Next time, I promise the full Hollywood brown-nose treatment.
28:18What next time?
28:20Oliver, that guy's never going to meet with us again.
28:23Okay, Dawson.
28:27A little perspective, please.
28:29Andrew Waller is just the tip of the iceberg.
28:32There is a whole world of agencies out there
28:35just waiting to be introduced to the blinding brilliance of Cherchick and Leary,
28:40none of whom return our letters or our phone calls.
28:43Yeah, but our film kicks serious ass,
28:46and the next one's going to be even better.
28:48We are a great team, man.
28:51We're like the Coen brothers or the Hughes brothers or the Wachowskis.
28:56Except we're not brothers.
28:58Yeah, I mean, no, of course not.
29:01I've never had a brother myself.
29:03I want to film together, Oliver, one film.
29:06And after today, I'm starting to think this whole partnership is just a bad idea.
29:13What?
29:14You want to end the partnership?
29:18No.
29:19I just...
29:23Look,
29:25I didn't walk into this meeting expecting it to be some miracle that would change my life forever, okay?
29:30But I wanted it to go better than that.
29:32So did I.
29:34But it didn't.
29:36You know, so I figured let's just go back to making movies,
29:40and then when we get another chance...
29:42Another chance? Oliver, this was our chance!
29:46That was our chance, and we blew it!
29:48Okay!
29:50Excuse me for trying to be a little optimistic about our future, you know?
29:57Oh, wait a minute.
29:58What was that you said about us not having a future?
30:01I'm trying to be realistic here, and you're just being naive.
30:05Naive?
30:07I'm naive?
30:11Mister, let's drive all the way down to Florida to fulfill my romantic destiny?
30:15It's different.
30:17Yeah, you bet it is.
30:28I'm going to take the train back.
30:31Okay.
31:01I can't breathe
31:07I choke down on the pain you had to give
31:11I want to die more than I want to live
31:14Cause I can't breathe
31:21Losing all hope drove me insane
31:24I can't get out of this vomiting
31:28No one knows what way to damage me
31:35This is so depressing.
31:37I can't even have a fling properly.
31:39I mean, we're so young.
31:41This was supposed to be fun.
31:43It was supposed to be carefree.
31:45And it will be, as soon as you tell him how you feel.
31:48Dump him!
31:49Break his little heart.
31:50It's the only way to get that boy on the tour bus.
31:52Well, how do I go about breaking one's heart?
31:55Oh, please.
31:57Like you've never done it before.
31:59Not intentionally.
32:02Hey.
32:03Okay, you made it.
32:05Yeah, finally.
32:06So, am I employed again or what?
32:09Well, I figured the dinner rush wasn't the best time to pop the question.
32:12But I promise you, you will get your job back tomorrow.
32:15Because when I need to be, I can be very charming and discreet.
32:18Oh, my self-aggrandizing hero.
32:22So, what's she like, your new boss?
32:24The question isn't what she like.
32:26It's what she look like.
32:28Bit of a hottie?
32:29As far as older women are concerned.
32:31Not that old.
32:34How old?
32:35She is older than us.
32:39She's, whatever, younger than Graham.
32:55Thank you, everybody, and good night!
33:06Ouch!
33:07Okay, so tell me again what exactly we're doing here.
33:11We're lending moral support.
33:13Charlie's band's going on tour.
33:16And so yet another sort of chapter in the love life of Miss Joy Potter comes to an end.
33:20No, she said Charlie's band is going on tour.
33:24Not Charlie.
33:25Charlie, it seems, has decided to stay.
33:30For many reasons.
33:32But mainly for Joey.
33:35It seems the boy is quite smitten.
33:37Really? Not that I can say that I blame him.
33:43That I got.
33:45Hey, that's it.
33:47What's it?
33:48Nothing.
33:49I got it.
33:50Just, wait, let me handle this, okay?
33:52Handle what?
33:53So congratulate me.
33:55The deed is done.
33:57Charlie Todd is no longer a member of Aggressive Mediocrity.
34:00And Audrey LaBelle will no longer be made a fool of.
34:04And you call yourself my friend?
34:07I am.
34:08Well then, maybe you would like to explain to me
34:12why you have been sleeping with my boyfriend for the past three months.
34:17What?
34:18What?
34:19Hey, silence!
34:20Nobody cares what you have to say.
34:22This is between me and Bambi Eyes over here.
34:25Although I'm sure that Charlie probably has an opinion on the subject.
34:32Not that you care what he thinks.
34:35I care.
34:37Okay, look, please, can somebody tell me what's going on here?
34:40Yeah, me too.
34:41Yeah, tell them, homewrecker.
34:43Tell them how you still have certain feelings for Pacey.
34:47And now that you see the two of us together,
34:49you realize what a fantastic male specimen he is.
34:53Well, I wouldn't go that far, but...
34:56Yes, yes, you would.
34:58In fact, if you had to, you would fight me for him.
35:02I would.
35:04Ow!
35:05Slut.
35:08Pussy.
35:09Ow!
35:10That really hurt!
35:11No, duh!
35:12Ow!
35:13Oh, yeah!
35:14Come on, lady, this is plenty of work.
35:16No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
35:18Ow!
35:19Okay, enough talking, can I get a hand?
35:21Please, watch the hand!
35:23Hey, hey, hey, hey!
35:24Okay, I think that one right there needs medication.
35:27I think you'd find that they're both a little crazy.
35:30Okay, look, I have to say, I really don't get you guys.
35:32What is this, some sort of elaborate private joke?
35:35Oh, yes.
35:36It's elaborate.
35:37And it's private.
35:39It's just the joke part that I'm not too sure about.
35:42So, Lucy, Ethel, would you care to tell the young man what is going on here?
35:50Because I would, but I don't know where to start.
35:59Let's go, I'm tired.
36:00Okay.
36:10So, do you mind telling me what this is all about?
36:14No.
36:15Uh, I'm not quite sure how.
36:19You and Pacey aren't really getting back together, are you?
36:23No, no, we're not.
36:24Okay, so the purpose of this little piece of performance art was?
36:28It was to convince you not to stay.
36:35Not to stay.
36:37Not to stay.
36:38Okay, so that would involve me leaving.
36:41You have to go on this tour.
36:43If you don't, you'll regret it.
36:45And, Charlie, if you're staying because of me...
36:49Don't.
36:54Wow.
36:55That's a hell of a lot to go through just to break up with her.
37:02Have you responded to anything, Les?
37:06Yeah, probably not.
37:09May I ask you a question?
37:12If I weren't in the picture, would you have considered, even for a second, the possibility of not going on this tour?
37:20No.
37:23Then you're starting to see my point.
37:27Yours doesn't necessarily feel too good, does it?
37:32You know, neither does missing the greatest opportunity in your life just because some girl asked you to.
37:41But you didn't ask her to, did you?
37:48Yeah.
38:02Jeez, man, what the hell are you doing here?
38:15You know what time it is?
38:17I'm checking my watch hours ago.
38:19You're crazier than the other one, aren't you?
38:21Maybe even crazier because I've got something to say.
38:23I'm not going to leave until I say it.
38:25I'm listening.
38:26Give yourself a chance.
38:28Is that it?
38:29That's what you wanted to say?
38:31You waited five hours to ask for another chance?
38:34Look, I know we might not seem like we're the greatest risk right now, but that's what you do, right?
38:38You take chances on people.
38:40You bet on which ones are going to be a success.
38:42I'm telling you.
38:43Bet on us.
38:46I want this like I've never wanted anything.
38:48It's been the hardest year of my life, and I've screwed a lot of things up, but I'm not going to screw this up.
38:54What are you?
38:55You're like 19, 20?
38:5619.
38:57And life really feels this desperate?
39:00Life is desperate.
39:02Life has chances that you never get back, which is why I've been waiting here for so long.
39:06It's why I'm not going to leave until you at least agree to take a look at our next project.
39:11You're not faking it, are you?
39:13The desperation, the anguish, the youthful torment?
39:19I wish I was.
39:21Well, don't.
39:22It's good stuff.
39:24All that teenage crap.
39:26It's one thing you can't fake as you get older.
39:30Very remarkable, too.
39:34So you're saying?
39:37I'm saying send me your next project.
39:40And in the meantime, I can make a few phone calls, put some feelers out, see who I can get to look at the film.
39:49I can't promise you anything, but understood.
39:53Then I guess we have a deal.
40:14What is that?
40:16Checking.
40:19Sounds like a cat dying.
40:22I think it's music.
40:43Could he be any cuter?
40:45No, he could be more in tune.
40:48Come on, this is so romantic.
40:51It's like that movie.
40:53It's like you make him want to be a better man.
40:56Wouldn't it be better for society if I made him want to be a better guitar player?
41:01Okay, it is official. You are the queen of negativity.
41:04There'll be a crowning ceremony later in the day.
41:14Go. Go out there.
41:21I'm feeling all alone, oh, I feel like dying.
41:27Oh, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I see you crying.
41:34I want you, want me.
41:39You could awake the whole campus, you know.
41:42Well, you know, I'm just trying to make a little money. Expenses for the tour.
41:46I see you're just busking for some change.
41:48Oh, yeah.
41:49Interesting choice of locations.
41:51You know, I thought you might find it odd.
41:54So then you're definitely going.
41:56For the tour?
41:57Yep.
42:00I'm glad.
42:04I figured you would be.
42:08You know, I may never be as smart as you.
42:13But I will be a person of substance.
42:16And on that day, I just may have to come looking for you.
42:22I'd like that.
42:24Oh, you wouldn't slam the door in my face?
42:26No, because this has never been about you being insubstantial.
42:29It's been about you making a major decision about your life based on...
42:33On you.
42:36I was going to say a role in romance.
42:40Yeah, but sometimes it was the best kind.
42:43Infatuation, mystery, thrill of the chase.
42:48These are very powerful things.
42:51But they're not real.
42:53And they don't last.
42:55And you can't build your life on them.
43:08Well, I had a good time.
43:14Me too.
43:17I guess this is it.
43:20I guess I just go.
43:23Disappear into the sunset.
43:26Sunrise.
43:30Whatever.
43:34Take care of yourself, Charlie.
43:37I will.
44:03I'll be holding on
44:07Until the stars burn out
44:10I'll be holding on
44:13I'll be waiting here
44:17Right along
44:19Till you smile you'll be there
44:23Always
44:28I'll be holding on
44:30I'll be waiting here
44:33Right along
44:35I'll be holding on
44:37I'll be waiting here
44:39Right along
44:41I'll be holding on
44:43I'll be waiting here
44:46Right along
44:48Till you smile you'll be there
45:01Alex.
45:03Hey, I'm sorry to disturb you.
45:05Casey, I thought everyone had gone home.
45:07Well, everybody else did, but I was kind of hoping that you and I could finish that conversation we started earlier.
45:13Oh, remind me, what was that about again?
45:17The girl that you fired.
45:19Audrey.
45:20Oh, yes. I think I remember her now.
45:23Last hired, first fired.
45:27Well, I guess that means the new regime governs by adage.
45:32The technique I picked up in business school.
45:36Hey, will you help me hang this up?
45:38Of course.
45:41Actually, you know what?
45:44I shouldn't do that.
45:45Bad luck to put something on the walls before you know if you're going to be sticking around.
45:49In this economy, everything is temporary.
45:53That's precisely why I would really appreciate it if you could just give Audrey one more chance.
45:58Audrey, your girlfriend?
46:01Yes.
46:03How old are you, Casey?
46:05Nineteen.
46:07You seem older.
46:10Well, I'm not.
46:12Isn't that a little young to be settling down?
46:15I don't know exactly how settled we are.
46:17Yeah, but you are together.
46:19Oh, yeah, definitely.
46:20That's all I mean by settling.
46:23Shame, really, there are no adorable single men left in this town.
46:29Guess not.
46:30But, look, about Audrey.
46:33Yeah.
46:35I think we might be able to work something out.
46:40Great.
46:43I mean, we both want the same thing, don't we?
46:47Um, no.
46:51I don't think that we do.
46:53I'm sorry, but we must have gotten our wires crossed there somewhere.
46:57Did we?
46:58It didn't feel that way to me.
47:01Yes, we most definitely did.
47:03Look, it's late, and I think I should be going.
47:06Are you sure about that?
47:12I think that I should leave, Alex.
47:16Your decision.
47:29Hey, not so fast, stranger.
47:32Hey, I was just heading out to get some food.
47:35No food share grounds?
47:37Must be a sign of the apocalypse.
47:39Hell, she's a little preoccupied.
47:42Oh, right, Mr. Smalls.
47:44I guess love does funny things to people.
47:48Yes, it does.
47:50So, could you run?
47:52Duh, I came by to see how your meeting went.
47:54Right.
47:57Did it go as well as you hoped it would?
48:00Let's just say it started out badly, but it ended well.
48:03How well?
48:05I think I may have an angel.
48:09Nice?
48:12Better than nice.
48:14Congratulations, it's a dream come true.
48:17Almost.
48:24Is that food you were going to get?
48:27It wouldn't happen to be something in the pizza family, would it?
48:30I agree.
48:32It wouldn't happen, but it's on company.
48:35I would love some.
48:41So, what happened the last couple of days?
48:44Um, nothing usual.
48:46You know, broke a few hearts, started a few barroom brawls.
48:51Is there something I can say?
48:54Because I'm holding out, holding out.
48:58Tell me, is there anything to say?
49:04Is there anything to say?
49:10Is there anything to say?
