The Panic in Central Park

1 (Desi strumming guitar) (Desi vocalizing) What are you staring at me about? What do you mean? You're staring at me.
I'm staring at you? You're playing aggressive guitar at me.
There's nothing aggressive about that.
- It's a ballad.
- Okay.
I think it's weird you haven't said anything since noon.
Well, we're in a fight, so I don't want to talk to you.
- Well - That's kind of the definition - of fighting.
- That's kind of the definition of cold.
- No, I'm not cold, I'm mad.
- Yeah.
So you can't even let me know that you're that you're here with me? You can't even connect? No, I don't I don't want to connect.
I want space.
Well, I don't want space.
I love you.
See, Desi, that's a major part of the problem.
That you don't seem to care at all about what I want.
- Oh, I don't care what you want? - Yeah, you don't care.
Would you prefer that I just pretend nothing's wrong with me? And stop feeling all of my feelings and and hug you and fuck you and tell you how amazing you are - and how much I love you? - That sounds really positive to me.
- I think that'd make you happy, too.
- Oh, Jesus.
- No.
(groans) - Whoa.
You know you just recoiled - from my touch? - I didn't.
You recoiled from my touch like I'm a monster.
- Oh, my God.
- You know something? In all the months that we courted, I never dreamed that you could be this cruel.
- Cruel? - Yeah.
Oh, are you fucking serious? Cruel? I don't want to go get a scone with you this morning and now I'm cruel? Oh, boy.
You're you've got to be kidding me.
(sobbing) I want to fucking die.
- No, you don't.
You don't want to die.
- Yes I do, I wanna fucking kill myself.
You don't want to kill yourself, either.
You are far too narcissistic - to kill yourself.
- Open your heart to me.
- Bella, open your heart to me now! - Stop.
It's fucking open! (music playing) Bella! (door slams shut) - Rock, babe, rock, babe Rock, babe, rock, babe I don't love you no more I don't love you no more I don't love you no more I don't love you no more Hey, hey Used to be you and me, young and in love - What I tell you? She's coming.
- (whistles) - How you doing? Nice to meet you.
- Baby, dang.
Damn, girl, I know exactly how to work you out.
Hey.
Hi.
- She was looking at me.
- Shit.
- Yo, you know her? - Yeah, I know her.
I'll be right back.
- Where you going, man? - Marnie? Marnie.
Marnie.
Hey.
Hi.
Look, I know it's weird.
Just talk to me, okay? (sighs) I'm married.
Oh, great.
- That's fucking great.
- Yeah.
Yeah, see, just tell me w-w-what's up with you.
That's great, that's great.
I'm late getting where I'm going.
Hey.
So, wait, y-you got married? - Yeah.
- That's beautiful.
Really, that's fucking beautiful.
It was beautiful.
I mean, it was pouring and my dad wasn't there, but Aw, shit.
Well, who walked you down the aisle? My uncle.
Bob or Ron? You remember Bob and Ron? Yeah, of course I do.
Bob's a fuckin' G.
Well, it was Ron.
Okay, yeah, I mean, Ron, he's less of a G.
He's an exterminator.
That's that's the opposite.
So, what happened to your business? Which one? Business? The app? - Oh, - "Which one?" That shit.
Um, yeah, that wasn't really for me.
You know, that life.
It started becoming about what we're ordering for lunch and who we ate it with.
It was bullshit.
So, did Parvesh and Jake buy you out? No, no, no, some weird legal shit went down and I got nothing, you know.
- But onward and upwards, right? - Yeah, I guess.
- Hold the fuck up, man.
- What? What? - I told you I was talking to a friend.
- Que pasando? All right, man, but you're gonna do that thing - tonight, right? - Yes.
So just make sure you get enough cash to cover you for the next few weeks, ah? Yo, I don't need this explained to me.
I know what to do.
He's got it, he's got it.
Here you go, brother.
All right? - I got it.
- Charlie, introduce.
No, Rips, I'm not fucking introducing you.
And don't just say "introduce," like, one word.
- Rips? - Hello.
Your name is Rips? What, are you from "West Side Story"? And that would make you my Maria.
Oh, yeah, I'd love to solve a problem like a Maria.
Ew.
That's not even the right reference.
Oh.
- All right.
- We out of here, bro.
Hey, appreciate it.
Take care.
- Hey, hey, hey.
You got it.
- All right.
- I got it.
I got you.
Be good.
- All right.
- Bye, friend.
Bye, friend.
- Bye, guys.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go - Nice meeting you.
- Very nice meeting you.
- Nice to meet you, too, Rips.
Sorry.
You, um you talk differently.
I ta what do you mean? You have an accent that you didn't have before.
- You talk differently.
- No.
Nah, you just don't remember me right.
"Ri"? I don't remember you "ri"? Hey, do you want to come with me someplace? Where? We'll go someplace.
Like, what place, though? It's a party.
It's uptown.
And there will be free champagne and a lot of it.
- Champagne for my real friends - Real pain for my sham friends.
(sighs) - Wait, are you serious? - Yeah.
Why would I want to go with you anywhere? You know I literally haven't heard from you since you told me you never loved me and that I was "a spoiled brat whose life would never amount to being anything other than someone's wife.
" - That's an exact quote.
- Right.
And guess what? I am someone's wife.
But I also have a fucking life, so you were completely wrong about me.
You're a fucking piece of shit.
- All right, Marnie, you know - No, no, no, - seriously, Charlie, you're a POS.
- all right.
And, yeah, I might've been an asshole to you when I was all of, what, 22 years old.
Everyone's an asshole when they're 22 years old.
Then you came along and you beat me in the asshole contest.
Big time.
You beat the shit out of me.
All right.
Well, I apologize for that, but I was kind of going through a pretty fucked-up time.
My, ah, my dad my dad died.
What? He killed himself, actually.
He hung himself.
- Holy shit.
- Yeah.
I didn't know that.
I'm so sorry.
No, you know, I'm sorry.
That's all I can really say is "I'm sorry.
" But, listen, do you do you want to come with just come with me to this party.
It'll be harmless.
We'll catch up.
- Please.
- Okay.
Yeah? Okay.
All right, good.
I'm happy.
We got to get you a dress, though.
All right.
- Marnie.
- Yeah? - Try these on.
Try those on.
- Oh, my God, I - can't try all these on.
- Yes, you can.
I'm just giving you options, baby, you know what I mean? I'm just giving you options.
I'm just giving you more and more - options.
(chuckles) - (chuckles ) Okay.
(whispered) Hey.
Hey, do you, ah, do you have a bathroom I can use? I'm gonna buy stuff.
I just need to use the bathroom.
Oh, yeah, there's a burrito place next door.
You just have to, like, buy a soda or something.
Oh, okay.
- Uh, Marnie, I'll be right back! - Okay.
That dress looks really pretty on you.
Oh, thank you so much.
I feel like a Bob Mackie Barbie doll.
Oh, no, that's 100% the look.
That's what people come in here wanting.
That guy's my ex-boyfriend.
I haven't seen him in literally almost two years until just now.
Or like, just before right now.
He left without any explanation, and now I'm married to, like, an entirely different man who's also my musical partner.
- Cool.
- I know you might be wondering, like, how does someone fit that much action into such a short amount of time.
Yes, I am only 25 and a half - years old - No, that seems right.
but somehow I've managed to live so much.
I feel like I'm looking out the eyes of a woman at hands that have touched and have been touched.
- Does that make any sense? - Whoa, oh.
- Hey, oh, my God.
You look great.
- Yeah? - Are you sure? I don't know.
- That's perfect, yeah.
No, you look awesome.
All right, let's do this.
- Yeah? How much is it? - What? I need heels - and stuff like that.
- Doesn't matter.
No, no, no, - you're good.
They're waiting on us! - What are you doing? (laughing) (chatting) What are we doing here? I just have a friend who asked me to swing by.
What kind of friend? Everyone here is 150 years old.
- Just wait here a second, okay? - No way.
Just wait one second.
No fucking way.
I'm not standing here alone in this dress.
All right.
Suit yourself, come on.
- Brian, hello.
- Hello, sir.
Brian, this is my fiancée, Masha.
Masha, it's a pleasure.
Uh, will you ladies excuse us for just a moment? (Marnie) Of course, Brian.
(Eastern European accent) He buying cocaine for us to have party.
Yeah, I can see that.
Out of curiosity, how old are you? 25 and half.
Makes sense.
Okay, uh, I'm just gonna use the bathroom really quick, okay? What's your name, darling? I'm Magita.
Magita Perez.
Well, Magita, what would you say if I asked you to join Masha and me later upstairs? Masha? Me? Is Brian the person I should talk to negotiate that? No, no, I'll handle it.
I'm, uh, 300 cash, up front.
Room 1206.
We'll be there by 10:30.
Sounds good, except there's a $200 fee if I'm going above the tenth floor.
I'm afraid of heights.
And a hundred-dollar gown rental fee.
Unless you want me to wear my jeans.
See you in an hour.
Looking forward to it.
I'll be a lady in the streets In the dress with her hair tied up - Wait, so you said - Oh, my God.
You said you were a hooker? No, he, like, implied it and I just, like, went along, and then I introduced myself as Magita Perez.
- What? - I don't know, - You said your name was Magita? - I yeah, I said my name was I don't know, I've never heard it before.
- Oh, my God.
- Spanish? - I knew this was a bad idea.
- What, you worried you scared me? Ah, no, you know, it's just not really your scene.
To be fair, you wouldn't know my scene.
It's actually been a few years since - you knew what my scene was.
- But I have an idea of what your scene is and what your scene isn't.
Well, my scene is that I'm hungry and I'm fucking rich.
I'm one of a kind, she one of them dimes Been at it for a while, we putting in time I'm loving her thoughts, she changing my mind We learning together, the stars align Fly face, nice body, and swag crazy She work and she going to school, she ain't lazy And when she out and about, she look wavy And when they try to ask what's up, she say, "Casey" I'll be your lady in the streets in the dress and her hair tied up Or I can be a freak in the sheets in the room with her hands tied up No, it's whatever you want Whatever you like It's whatever you want Whatever you like It's not a problem at all - Whatever you like, - You've gained weight.
Whatever you like That's not a very nice thing to say to a person.
No, I know, I like it.
It's like you're not trying to please everyone anymore.
Whatever you like It's not a problem at all Whatever you'd like.
- Hey, guess what? - Hmm? Half my album's about you.
- What? - Yeah.
Desi thinks it's about him.
About, like, when we first started and he still had a girlfriend, but it's about you.
It's about what it's like to lose something or someone and have no idea why.
I told you why.
You were my family.
You know that.
(sighs) Come here.
Come here.
Oh, my God.
What are you doing? Get in.

"That's not our boat"? That? Did you really just say that? - Shut up.

- Ooh! - Oh! Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Are you okay? - Are you okay? - (wheezes) Yeah.

- Okay.
How recent were your YMCA swimming lessons? 'Cause I just couldn't tell - by the way you were flailing around.

What? I just really wondered 'cause I'll - get 'em for you, if you want.

So, get curtains.
Actually, you know what? Never mind.
I'm not here to change you.
I don't need to change anybody anymore.
Come here.
(groans) (sighs and chuckles) (sighs) - What am I gonna do about you? - (laughing) What if we ran away? I'm serious.
What if, like, the last few years were just a bad dream and we ran away? And opened up a general store.
Somewhere where they need a general store.
I got cash, I got a bike.
We can go wherever we wanted.
Wouldn't have to tell anybody if we didn't feel like it.
- I don't need any of my stuff.
- No.
I don't, I really don't need any of my stuff.
- I hate all of my stuff.
- Hm.
(chuckles) I'm serious.
As soon as the sun comes up, let's go.
But what about all of the time? - Hmm? - Doesn't have to bother us if we don't let it.
(moans) Oh, okay.
(exhales) I'm cold.
I need a shower.
The bathroom's in the hall.
Cool.
(door opens) Hey.
Hi.
Late night? Yeah, kinda.
Why is everybody such a fucking disappointment? Guy problems? Yeah, if you call a hot dyke with a strap-on and a Mets cap a guy.
She left me off on the side of the BQE.
- Kicked me off her motorcycle.
- Oh, my God.
That is awful.
- Yeah.
I fucking walked.
- How did you get home? It's not even her, you know? She was she was fine.
She was as much as an asshole as anyone.
I just I can't have one more fantasy busted open.
I swear to God, I can't fucking take it.
(sighs) That's my towel.
I'm so sorry.
I I did not know that.
- Um oh.
Sorry.
- (chuckles) You have nice tits.
Thank you.
You know, that shower actually has really good water pressure.
(clatters) Charlie? - Charlie! - Yeah? What the fuck is this needle? Oh.
I'm diabetic.
Yeah.
(music playing) (soft laugh) Where are your fucking shoes, Marnie? (chuckles) Whose dress is that? Where are your fucking rings? (scoffs) I'm sorry.
For what? I don't want to be married to you.
It's not even your fault.
I mean, yeah, you're you're an asshole, but it's really not your fault.
I just I knew I shouldn't have married you.
I just didn't want to give up on yet another dream.
What are you talking about? I just don't know who I am right now.
I'm like a ghost of myself.
I don't know what I'm doing here or anywhere else.
But I don't want to be married to you.
Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
You should go and be on your own, Marn.
You know? Do what you have to do.
Yeah, I think that's what I need.
But, trust me, Marnie, it is, like, not gonna work out so great.
It's not? I mean, probably you're gonna get murdered.
I mean, that is how little of a sense of the world that you have.
You're just you're just you're just you're gonna get murdered one day.
You're gonna get murdered.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, well you know, Desi, maybe you're right.
Maybe I do get murdered.
Oh.
(scoffs) (sobbing) Oh, my God.
(sobbing and panting) (incoherent babbling) You know I can't hear you.
Try to remember the hope of the beginning, you know? - "The hope of the beginning"? - Yeah.
You mean when you had a girlfriend and I saw you, like, twice a week and half the times we fucked you covered my face with a pillow because you couldn't handle the guilt? - Do you remember that? - Yeah, okay.
Jesus Christ, I have some, like, serious shit to work out.
So do you.
I'm not sure you're capable of it, but that's not my problem anymore.
Do you want me to get my stuff? Uh, no, that's fine.
I'll just pack up a few things.
You've fallen at your feet Given everything up There's something in the way - Love is never enough - (door opens) I see you're sorry - (door closes) I'm putting down the gun The war in your mind, it never wants to be won I catch you in the light no one else can see I know you see her and you'll never see me She makes you feel the most, keep your souls aligned But what we had, it never really died And this is what I'd say - If I had any words - Wish we hadn't messed up - Now your heart is with hers And I know that your love wasn't here to stay I gave you all of mine, but you gave it away And now you're the one who hurts You had to love someone else Just to know your worth But here's to us Here's to us, here's to us Yeah, this is just a phase, pretty sure of that And one day, you and I, we will never look back You kept me in the flames, but the fire was out The fire was out, the fire was out And this is what I'd say if I had any words Wish we hadn't messed up, now your heart is with hers And I know that your love wasn't here to stay I gave you all of mine, but you gave it away But here's to us, here's to us Here's to us.
