Deal? Deal.
When the truths of love are planted firm I think my mushrooms are kicking in.

Basically I just realized he was being defensive because he felt bad that he put my Ian Curtis shirt in with his laundry.
And because it's vintage, it's basically destroyed.
But, you know, he didn't know, right? And honestly, it's like it's about time I retired that shirt anyway.

He did break my heart! Yes, but you left out the part where you cheated on him! - Look, Cam, you don't understand - Oh, fuck! No, you're my sister, and I love you.
And I don't wanna tell you what to do.
But just once, maybe just fucking once it would be great if you thought of someone other than yourself.
Mmm.
I'm gonna restock this.
Mm.
So you cheated on Mac, huh? Hey, it's me.
Uh, Rob.
Um yeah, just if you could call me back, that'd be great.

She just woke up one day and was like, "I'm a blues singer.
" - Does not count.
- Cyndi Lauper made a blues record? Yeah, it's surprisingly unterrible.
Listen, I'm talkin' about reinvention as in, like, becoming something else, you know what I mean? Like, okay, reinventing to become something better.

Um, look, if you're not calling me back because of the other night, I, I get that, um, but if there's some other reason, like you're trapped at the bottom of a ravine or something, then, um, you should call me back, 'cause, I could, um you know, send help.
Okay.

Thanks.
Bro, do you see this shit? Oh, it's fire! Kurt had one, David Byrne, Bilinda Butcher.
Come on! Yeah, it's a beautiful guitar.
Okay, yes, it is, but you're not getting it, man.
This this is an instrument of creation.
Do you understand what I'm saying? Like I have the sounds going off in my head all day long, songs for days.
This will allow me to play them songs, and I got to be writing them songs like You know what I mean? You feel me? Yeah.
I, I feel you.
Yeah.
Yo, I know you would, baby.
Thank you.
Gotta get this shit.
- Hey, you okay? - Hmm? Yeah.
Cherise just said some woman pulled a knife on you.
Not exactly.
I figured that was an exaggeration.
So jealous fiancée? Yeah, I don't know, I don't know what her problem is.
Are you sure? Yeah.
Nothing happened.
"Nothing happened.
" All right, I hear you.
Listen, do you mind if I cut out early tonight? Yeah, sure, go for it.
Blake is taking me to see Dear Evan Hansen.
It's because of the He felt bad about the shirt thing, so What shirt thing? "What shirt thing?" The thing that I, um I sat in front of you just yesterday and told you about.
The shirt thing, where he ruined my favorite shirt in the laundry.
You didn't tell me that.
I mean, I said it right to your I told you the whole story, but Okay.
- Are you okay? - Yes, Simon, I'm fine.
Nothing happened.
Okay.
"Nothing happened.
" Okay, something happened.
There is something you should know Look, Rob, I'm Please don't explain I've spent the last year of my life thinking that I I knew, I thought I knew what happened between us.
Just that you fell out of love with me and you just couldn't work out how to deal with it.
That's what I thought.
But it feels like now, and you correct me if you think I'm wrong in any of this, is that you were in love with me and you just couldn't work out how to deal with that.
Yeah, it's the, it's the second one.
All right.
And maybe that's part of the reason why you, why you did what you did.
Not to play these games What's really fucking annoying now is that all of the reasons why we broke up in the first place just seem like Bullshit? Bullshit.
Nothing is for sure Shit.
- Hey, Cam.
- Rob! - Look, I wanna talk to you, all right? - Rob, Rob, Rob.
- Rob! - I'm really sorry.
I know I didn't tell you about the whole thing with Mac and - Rob.
Robyn.
Rob.
- I just, you know, I fucked up.
- And I know that you think - Is she fucking kidding? I only talk about myself or think about myself, - but it really wasn't about myself.
- Okay, Rob.
- What? - We're on our way to the hospital.
- What? - You're gonna be an auntie.
- Baby? - Baby! You're having a baby right now? - We're having a baby right now.
- Should I come? Just shut up and get me to the hospital! - Holy shit, you're having a baby.
- Come on.
Okay, all right, I'll see, I'll see you in a minute.
- Okay.
- Bye.
Um, I gotta go.
Cam's having a baby, all right.
- What? - Yeah.
So lock up, okay? - Okay, okay.
- Oh, um, there's a delivery coming later, so just, you can't leave till that happens, okay? Hey, hey, don't you worry about it.
I got you, baby.

Congratulations.
Thank you.
Hi.
Do you have a baby? - Yeah.
- Can I see her? Yeah.
Are you okay? Yeah.
- Come on.
- Okay.
Oh! - Hey.
- Hi.
If I could be, Baby Yeah, say hi.
That's your auntie.
Hi.
If I could be Holy shit.
Baby, where you are Yeah.
How do you feel? Right.
If I could see Baby, what you see What's her name? We don't know yet.
We got stuck between Elliana and Raekwon.
Ah! - Ohhh! - Oh! I've been walking around for hours.
I've been thinking been thinking about that, that day when we were day in the park.
Remember, by the rock? And when we promised each other To come back to our side of the rock.
Mm-hmm.
I thought you couldn't remember how that felt.
Yeah.
But I wanna try and remember.
Now that it's over My whole life, every place I've ever been, I've always had one foot out the door.
All things must change I guess it just made more sense to commit to nothing, you know, just keep my options open.
But fuck, man, that's just, that's suicide, by tiny, tiny increments.
Not to play these games Hey, it's me again.
Um you're not answering, so, um I'm coming to you.
Nothing is for sure I'm coming to you.
I'd rather let you go All things must change and remain See ya.
All right? Hi.
Hi.
Sorry to just show up at your house, but I've been calling you and you haven't been answering, so Yup.
Um, okay, well, I don't really know how to start, so I'm just gonna start saying things to you.
Okay, umm, look, I've been figuring out a lot of stuff, I think.
Stuff like, um, how to stop living in the past and how to stop taking shit for granted and people for granted and how to stop being such an asshole.
Hmm.
Um um, so I don't really know how this works, I was just, I was hoping that we could just, you know, start fresh, you know, clean slate, just - You know - Yeah, um, that all sounds great.
Rob, that's all, that's good stuff, you know.
Um, I just don't think it has anything to do with me.
And, uh, I don't think it really matters anymore to me, so Right.
Right.
Well, hey, this is what we'll do.
We'll just, we'll start as friends.
We'll take it slow, we'll hang out, we'll be friends, right? Um, I just don't think, uh I don't think it's a good idea to hang out.
You don't think it's a good idea.
Yeah.
You don't think it's a good idea.
So you don't know.
You don't know.
Maybe there's a, there's a chance you'll feel differently.
I don't know.
I don't know.
That's what I'm saying.
That's what I'm saying.
You don't, you don't know.
You don't know.
If you don't know there's not a chance, then there's there's still a chance, right? Like, if there was a patient at a hospital, that was seriously, seriously ill and and the doctor said, "I don't know if this patient has a chance," that doesn't mean the patient's definitely going to die, now does it? I mean, the patient might live, right? Yeah, sure.
Yes, yes.
Yes, from that perspective, we have a chance.
So there's a chance? Oh, man, I If you could just tell me what our chance is? I don't know.
If you could just tell me roughly? Rob, I really don't know.
- Like, percentage-wise.
- I Nine.
There's a nine percent chance, okay.
Nine percent? Yeah.
Great.
Great.
Oh, okay.
All right.
See you around.
Okay.
Bye.
Uh, delivery for Cherise.
Yup, that's me.
All right, awesome.
Enjoy.
Uh, it's from Rob, by the way.
She said to reinvent yourself and to slay.
I once had a life Or rather, life had me I was one among many Or at least I seemed to be Well, I read an old quotation In a book just yesterday Said "Gonna reap just what you sow The debts you make you have to pay" Can you get to that? Can you get I wanna know I want to know if you can get to that Hey! Get to that Can you get Can you get to that? I wanna know Shattered dreams Worthless years Here am I encased inside A hollow shell Then is done Now I stare into A cold and empty well The many sounds that meet our ears The si The sights our eyes behold Nine percent.
