Party of Five s02e22 Episode Script

Matt kissed me.
Did you kiss him back? You're smothering me because you want me to be dependent on you or something.
If you can't let me love you the way that I need to love you, then I don't know how to make this work.
Her name is Corey.
She's just a friend.
I need to talk to someone, okay? And I can't talk to you.
You won't let me.
Ihave a boyfriend.
Why didn't you tell me? Do you still love me? Of course I do.
I'm shutting the place down.
It's not my fault, okay? Kathleen is buying the restaurant to get back at Charlie.
It's gone.
I'm sorry, but how the hell is that not your fault?! You think that, um.
.
.
you'll ever be able to forgive me for this? I don't think I can.
I'm just trying to remember a time when everything wasn't falling apart, and that was when I was with you.
I want you back.
You're too late.
His name is Michael.
We're getting married next week.
[THE BODEANS' "CLOSER TO FREE" PLAYING.]
Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free-ee-ee Closer to free [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[.]
[MELODRAMATICALLY.]
Speak of me as I am.
One that loved not wisely but too well.
I kissed thee, ere I killed thee.
No way but this, killing myself! [SIGHS.]
To die upon a kiss.
[GRUNTS.]
Uh, that's kind of, like, it.
Great.
Good job.
Thank you, guys.
Okay, so, uh, Jake and Rachel, you're gonna give us a little Glass Menagerie tomorrow, right? [BELL RINGS.]
See you tomorrow.
Oh, Julia? Justin? You guys still haven't told me what scene you're gonna be working on.
-UhI don't-- -We still haven't decided.
I need your answer by tomorrow.
You're scheduled to go on Friday.
JUSTIN: Julia We should probably pick something.
Uh, yeah, I know.
I just keep, uh, not getting around to thinking about it, you know? Okay, well, maybe we could-- I-I can't after school.
Well, neither can I.
I-- -I have the dentist.
-I have a teeth cleaning.
[SIGHS.]
All right, uh, look, why don't you pick something? Anything's fine with me as long as I don't have to wear tights.
Okay.
Then maybe we can grab some time to rehearse during school.
When we're not so busy.
Yeah.
Claud, you should look around.
If there's anything you wanna keep, a menu or somethin', say so now.
I don't care.
Okay.
Sweetie, you wanna take some pictures? 'Cause after tomorrow night, this place is gonna look a whole lot different.
Great.
KATHLEEN: Obviously, uh, dining area, but I need you to do the kitchen as well, so-- Charlie.
Kathleen, what are you doing here? Uh, my-- My draftsmen.
I need some quick blueprints of the space.
Yeah, well, now isn't a very good time, so maybe you could-- Yeah, I-- I can't.
See, I-I've got my designer flying up from L.
A.
to meet me in two days.
You know what? I think you should do this some other time.
Okay? This is still our restaurant.
This is how we're gonna work things? I cancel the designer now, it costs me money.
And I don't want to start feeling like a chump for not calling in unpaid loans.
Claudia, um, we'll do this another time, okay? I'll see you guys at home.
Don't, uh, bother including the dimensions of the bar.
That'll be gone.
Hey.
Sarah around? Uh, no.
I got this one, guys.
She's not? 'Cause we kinda had plans.
We were supposed to hook up at 4.
Well, she just ran down to McDougal's to grab me an E string.
She'll be back in, like, 20 minutes.
You got her running your errands for you? She offered, okay? You gonna be steamed at her about that too? What's that supposed to mean, "too"? Nothing.
I just know you've been kinda ragging on her lately, that's all.
Yeah, well why don't you do me a favor and mind your own business? Okay? Hey, all right? I, for one, hope you guys work this out.
Yeah, I'll bet you do.
No.
I mean it.
Sarah's told me all the lousy stuff you've been through in the last two years, which kind of explains why you'rethe way you are.
And I feel sorry for you tooreally.
Want me to tell her you were looking for her? Don't bother.
Ahem! This is a good cup of coffee.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
And you know, I'm really enjoying it, while you two are just reliving exactly what you did last night.
What's with you? She's having a bad day.
Family problems.
So, uh, what do you wanna do next? Wanna just hang out here? Or maybe we could go see a movie.
I don't know.
Whatever you want.
Whatever you want.
No, whatever you want.
No, whatever you want.
Let's go see a movie.
I don't know.
I kinda want to hang out here.
It's kinda cool.
Yeah? My brother Bailey had a girlfriend who worked here.
JIM: Does she still work here? 'Cause, uh, maybe we could get some free stuff.
No.
She died.
Oh.
She's fun.
[MOUTHING.]
[MOUTHING.]
Hey, forget it.
You taste like cinnamon.
So? You taste like chocolate.
Did you get milk for Owen? Nope.
We're completely out.
So? Big deal.
I'll go back out.
Hey, don't get pissed off at me.
It's your turn.
Hey-- You know what? Save it.
Okay, Charlie? I don't need a lesson in how to take care of things, especially from you.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? That's-- That's supposed to mean, nice going at the restaurant today.
Bailey-- No.
You really stood up for yourself, for all of us.
Nothing good was gonna come out of making some kind of scene.
How about a little self-respect? Huh? How about maybe showing Claudia that you didn't just give the place away? What am I supposed to do? Tell me what you want me to do! No, you know what, Charlie? This is your problem! Okay? And I am sick and tired of taking care of everything for everyone and worrying about everyone all the time, okay? Had it! I've had it! Wh-what's this about? This is about something besides the restaurant, right? No.
No.
This is about you Charlie, okay? And I don't get it, because if I were you, I would be spending every single second of every single day trying to figure out how to fix this.
[SIGHS.]
Do you ever wish you could jump ahead to, like, age 40 and look back at a certain time in your life and go, "Oh.
So that's how things worked out"? What would you like to know? I'd like to know what play Justin and I are gonna end up doing.
At the moment, that would help a lot.
Would you like to know what's gonna happen with us? I don't know.
No.
Why not? 'Cause it's scary.
Oh, it's not so scary that you don't keep saying yes whenever I ask you out.
[SIGHS.]
Why do you think you do that? I don't know.
Um It's like that time when you kissed me.
I mean don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I don't know if it was nice because it was different because you're a different person from the person I'm used to kissing, or if it wasnice because it was you.
Does that clear anything up for you? I don't know.
Uh Could you maybe do it again? [DOOR CLOSES.]
Matt says you stopped by the club.
I missed you by, like, five minutes.
You couldn't have waited? I didn't feel like hanging around there.
Oh, so that's why you said, "Don't bother telling Sarah I stopped by"? Boy, Matt Matt's real good at remembering conversations, isn't he? What I told him, what you told him.
What is it, Bailey? You mean, this time? Right? What is Bailey's problem this time? Because-- Because he's always got a problem with something.
-I didn't mean-- -Well, it's true, isn't it? And you know what? I am sick and tired of apologizing for it all the time! 'Cause I don't wanna be this person that you-- That you have to put up with! You're not, Bailey.
Look, are you--? Are you happy? Are you, Sarah? Do--? Do I make you happy anymore? Because I-- I really don't think I do.
Of course you do.
Sure, you do.
I don't-- I don't make you happy anymore, is that what you're really saying? Is it? Not a whole hell of a lot makes me happy these days.
Including me.
Say it.
Just say it, please.
Okay.
Including you.
So, what do we do about that? How do we fix that? We don't.
Sarah, when-- When-- When things are bad almost all the time, and-- And you have to change so much to make the other person okay, that you're not even yourself anymore, then Then that's when people break up.
So you wanna break up? [SIGHS.]
It's not working.
It's not.
Us.
And-- And when things aren't good anymore, then that's when it should be over, so So yeah.
Yes, I do.
[DOOR OPENS, FOOTSTEPS.]
I gotta hand it to you, Charlie.
You're good at intrigue.
Hey, Jake.
Can't meet at the house, too complicated to discuss on the telephone.
You got me wondering.
How you been? Oh, I can't complain.
At least I haven't got a going-out-of-business sign stuck to the side of my restaurant.
I'm guessing that isn't just an advertising ploy, huh? No.
No, it's, um-- It's kind of bad.
I mean, it's It's really bad.
And, uh, I can't figure out any way out of it on my own.
Hm? So you called me.
ButI'd have figured I'd be the last person-- Well, you're a businessman, right? And maybe there's some way to fix this, some-- Some angle that I haven't seen.
You're thinking that I called you just because I need something, right? Are you gonna tell me different? [SIGHS.]
I'm sorry.
I I don't know what else to do.
Tonight's the last night.
Joe's closin' the place, so this is it.
And if I don't come up with something fast, I mean, before that sale goes through, then it's It's gonna be gone.
Just gone.
[SIGHS.]
Hey.
Hey.
So did you read it over last night? No.
Hey, you were busy too.
Okay.
Fine.
Well, um, let's just start with where they say goodbye, okay? What? What is that? What? That thing under your collar, under the turtleneck, which you are wearing even though it's 78 degrees outside.
Wait a sec-- 'Cause it looks like a hickey to me.
Tell me I'm wrong, Justin.
Tell me it's not a hickey.
[SCOFFS.]
Just a friend, huh? Someone to talk to, 'cause you can't talk to me? All right, all right, fine, yes.
We fooled around a little bit last night.
It just kinda happened, and Julia, it's been a long time, and I-- Look, I don't know what it meant, okay? Yeah, right! It didn't mean anything.
It just happened because she's fun, right? And willing, unlike some people.
She probably doesn't have any stupid moods either, unlike some people! And you don't have to be careful of her.
Who needs that, right? That what you were thinking? Julia Julia-- [PLAYING BOLD MELODY.]
Hey, Claud.
Oh.
Ross, I, um-- I didn't hear you.
What are you doing? I just heard about the restaurant closing.
I thought you might Just wondering if you were okay.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
It's been a long time since I heard you play that piece.
In fact, it's been a long time since I heard you play.
I wasn't playing.
I was just, uh, trying it out for a second.
I just wanted to see how much I remembered, that's all.
That's all.
[SMOOTH JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING.]
Wow.
A lot of people, huh? Yep.
We're booked until midnight.
All the regulars.
We had a couple of guys fighting over who gets to keep the last menus.
That's nice, I guess.
Yeah.
Dad'd like that.
So the regular table? I'm not that hungry.
Me, neither.
I think I think I'm not gonna stay, Joe.
Yeah, what's the point? Joe, can I ask you a favor? Uh, can you manage without me? 'Cause I don't think any of us wanna be around when you turn off the lights.
Sure.
Guys? I'll call you tomorrow? We're still on for Friday dinner, right? [PHONE RINGING, SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE.]
[.]
You gotta be kiddin' me, man.
BAILEY: Nope.
It's the best thing.
How can it be the best thing? 'Cause it's what I want.
'Cause the whole thing just It wasn't fun anymore.
It wasn't fun anymore? Yeah.
What's your problem, Will? My problem is that she loves you, Bay.
Right, right.
She loves me because she feels sorry for me.
What? Yeah, and I'm following her around like some kind of pathetic jerk.
But you know what? You know what? I don't need it.
That's what I finally figured out, Will.
I don't need it.
I've been spending my whole life worrying about everybody else around me.
You know, is--? Is Sarah? Is she safe? Is she happy? Is she gonna be okay when I'm gone? You know what? That's-- That's not my problem! It's the same thing with the restaurant! Not my problem.
Charlie, not my problem.
Okay, okay.
S-so things are tough right now, but This is Sarah, Bay.
It's over.
And you know what? That's fine.
That's fine, 'cause I'm-- I'm outta here in September, anyway.
I'm gonna leave all this crap behind.
I'm done.
[SLAMS BALL.]
[ANN VRIEND'S "WATERFRONT" PLAYING.]
Are you meeting her? No.
You just here to make me feel worse? No.
Julia, I'm-- You don't have to explain, 'cause I kind of think I know what happened.
'Cause it happened to me too.
What? I met someone too at that photography class, andI've been kind of spending time with him.
Ian.
Oh.
So, anyway do you love her? No.
I don't think so, no.
Do you love him? No.
So, what's going on with us? Ican't make it go back to the way it was.
I don't know why.
Why can't I? I want to, I do, 'cause it used to be whenever I looked at you or just hearing you say my name.
But I can't get past all this stuff.
I can't.
Well, neither can I.
And I wanna go there With you Is this? So, uhthis is it? [SIGHS.]
YeahI think so.
Oh, yeah Take me to the waterfront K-- I wanna know.
I just-- Just-- Just tell me, what--? What were you thinking? What was going through your mind when, two days, two days before my wedding, Charlie, before my wedding to another man, you go and send me six dozen roses? Seven.
Seven dozen.
It was-- It was kind of a buy six, get one free kinda thing.
Six, seven, whatever.
It's sick.
What are you trying to do? Are you trying to ruin everything? No, look, I-- I-- I just think you're making a huge mistake by marrying this guy.
You think?! [SCOFFS.]
Since when do you even get a vote? This is so What about me, huh? What about what I want? You want Michael.
You're in love with Michael.
Why is that so hard to believe? You-- You've never even met him.
How do you know he isn't the perfect man for me? Well, let's see, uh, a nice guy in his 30s, who just happens to have a child.
You know what? He sounds like the perfect man for you, Kirsten.
But you better be in love with more than his qualifications.
You're moving way too fast to know for sure.
[SCOFFS.]
Why don't we just stop acting like this is about me and just admit that this is really about you.
You only want me back, Charlie, because you know you can't have me, and you're afraid of losing me.
Yes, I am.
Because I love you.
And I think-- I thinkif you love me, then we can be happy together.
So do you? Love me? I'm getting married, Charlie.
That's not an answer.
[SCOFFS.]
Do you love me? Yes.
And you wanna be with me? Yes.
And you're ready for all the things that you weren't ready for six months ago? I am.
And you think I'm kidding myself? Ask yourself this, Charlie: Would you be doing any of this, feeling this way, wanting me so much, if you weren't watching everything else in your life go down the drain? [INHALES DEEPLY.]
Hey! Oh, hi.
Hi.
Test? Uh, yeah.
Miss Wilkerson.
I'm screwed.
Well, remember Gary B.
What? G-A-R-Y-B.
Greece, Albania, Romania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria.
The Balkans.
Yeah.
Remember, when I was helping you study and Yeah.
we came up with that.
Oh, I've got study hall next period if you need quizzing or something.
That's okay.
Bailey, can we talk, please? -Maybe if we tried-- -Sarah, don't.
Don't what? Come on, you know.
Don't make it harder.
[.]
[SIGHS.]
So you planning on going to class? [SIGHS.]
Yeah, eventually.
I saw you and Sarah in the hall this morning.
Oh, yeah? I was kind of confused, but Will kinda filled me in on what was going on-- I don't wanna talk about it, okay, Julia? It's hard to explain, a-and you wouldn't get it, anyway, so [SIGHS.]
Justin and I broke up.
What? And this is the weird thing.
I really love Justin.
But it turns out that's not enough.
Yeah, exactly.
You're right.
No Don't agree with me, Bailey.
It's-- It'sdifferent with you and Sarah.
And Justin and I had reasons.
Something happened.
And it's so hard to find the exact right person, you know.
So the idea of looking for reasons to split up [BELL RINGS.]
You just can't be that stupid, Bailey.
You can't look for problems when there are already so many as it is.
[BELL RINGS.]
That was pretty lame, walking out on us like that the other day.
Yeah, I'm surprised you even noticed.
This isn't my fault.
I tried to find a guy for you, and I tried to include you.
Yeah.
Don't do me any favors.
Fine.
Make your own plans.
Get your own boyfriend.
I can't, okay? Why not? Because.
Because I-- I don't wanna do stuff like that yet.
I mean, making out and stuff, and all these things you have to do when you get a boyfriend.
Anyway, it's not like guys are gonna be interested in me.
Obviously.
Guys like girls with boobs and everything.
Like this is my problem? I'm having fun.
I'm not gonna stop just 'cause you're not ready.
And you have no right walking around pissed off all the time like what I'm doing is so terrible.
Like you wouldn't do the same thing if you could.
I know.
I know.
I just, um kinda miss you.
And you don't miss me because you have something else going on.
[SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE.]
So now what do we do? I don't know.
See you around, I guess.
Guess so.
[TOILET FLUSHES, DOOR OPENS.]
The town gave us a lunch today with champagne.
The mayor gave a speech.
I ate and listened, but my heart was here with you.
I've, uh I've [WHISPERS.]
Become accustomed.
I'vebecome accustomed to you.
Will we ever see each other again? I don't think so.
Tomorrow, it'll all be a memory.
And I suppose, we'll start a new life.
Nothing ever happens the way we want it.
[.]
What can I say to wish you farewell? Life is hard.
To many, it is blank and hopeless.
But still, it is slowly becoming easier and brighter.
And the time is not far off The time is probably not far off when it will be quite cloudless.
Hi.
Jake! I still have a key, but I didn't know how you'd feel about my using it.
What are you doing here? Well, at the moment, I'm tryin' to get my breath back, after climbing those steps.
I was wondering if I might have a cold glass of something? Uh, yeah.
I was talking to your brother this afternoon about the restaurant.
You were? I guess he felt that with all my business experience, I could be of some help to you.
Yeah, well, he-- He shouldn't have done that.
He shouldn't have come to you.
That is his fault.
His mess.
And it's too late.
There's nothing anybody can do about it.
Anyway, if you're here to see him, I don't think he's here.
I didn't see his truck.
Well, actually, I came to see you.
I have a proposal.
[PIANO PLAYING FUN, ELEGANT MUSIC.]
You shouldn't be here, Charlie.
They're about to start the toasts.
I know.
It's just, um, what you said yesterday, about-- About me wanting us to work out only 'cause at the moment nothing else is? Well, you were wrong, Kirsten.
Charlie, I've gotta How do you know that? Because I love you, and I know that in a way that I haven't known before.
And-- And yeah, maybe it took me needing you a-at a really bad point in my life t-to realize just how much I love you, but-- MICHAEL: What's goin' on? Who's this? -Is this--? -It's-- It's okay.
What's he doin' here? Kirsten-- It's okay, Michael.
Go back inside.
You got a lot of nerve, pal.
Flowers? Comin' here? I ought to punch-- Mich-- Michael, stop it, please.
Just-- Just go back inside.
I can handle this.
I'm asking you.
Please.
[SIGHS.]
I'm taller than he is.
Uh Where was I? I kinda lost my flow.
How I was wrong about you? Right, right.
Um, Kirsten, the thing is, there's-- There's no way for me to prove that to you.
I could wait until things are straightened out with the restaurant and come back to you and say, "See, everything's going great, a-and I still love you.
" But-- But who knows how long that's gonna take? And-- And things may never work out with Salinger's.
And I know that you need guarantees, 'cause of what happened last time.
But the truth is I I can't give you any.
I-- I don't know how to make you certain about me.
So Ch-Charlie-- So here's what I came to say.
[SIGHS.]
Yes? Marry him.
What? Marry Michael.
If you-- If you know that he loves you and you definitely know that you love him, then do it, Kirsten.
'Cause I can't ask you to-- It-- It's not fair for me to ask you to-- To take a chance on me.
I really, really want you to be happy.
You son of a bitch! Where've you been? Out.
And I'm going to bed.
Want you to see somethin'.
You got into college? Hampshire State? Yeah, I got in.
It's-- It's big, huh, for someone like me? A-a-and a real school, not just like a little-- Not a little community-college thing.
Bailey, that-- It's even better than that.
How are we gonna afford to send me to college? So I actually got someone to pay for it too.
Jake was gonna pay for it.
He was putting away money so that I could go to school.
Man, that's-- Why didn't you say something sooner? We gotta celebrate, Bay.
Right.
Only here's the thing, Charlie.
Jake came to see me today, and he told me that you went to him to ask him for help with the restaurant.
He came to see you? Why would he--? He said that he could take care of things, that he could-- He could pay off the owners of the building, kind of a bribe not to sell it.
He could save the place, or he could send me to school.
One or the other, but he can't do both.
And he left it up to me.
He left it up to me.
Bailey, I-- I had no idea.
He said he was gonna look into some possibilities, and he hadn't gotten back to me-- You know what, Charlie? Sometimes I hate you so much.
This was it.
This was finally it.
I was just gonna take care of myself for once.
For once.
And I was gonna get outta here, and I was so close.
So go.
Just go.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll explain that to Julia and Claudia.
No.
No, look, no one's gonna know.
Okay? This is just between you and me and Jake, and it never happened, all right? The restaurant is history, and you're going away to school.
And-- And I'm sorry, 'cause you're right.
You deserve to get away, and you should go.
I want you to go.
I'm telling you to go, Bay.
[SIGHS.]
[FLOOR CREAKING.]
Julia? Oh, I'm-I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't do this anymore.
I shouldn't be here-- No.
No, it's okay.
Wh--? Did--? Did something happen? I don't know how to do this.
How to do what? I don't remember how to be alone.
Mmm.
How did I do it before? How did I get through the day? And it's like "Justin and Julia.
" "Justin and Julia.
" I-i-it's this one word that I have heard for so long.
And when it's just my name, i-it feels like something is missing.
I don't know how to be apart from you.
I don't think I-- I can.
[SIGHS.]
Look, Julia, I-- [SIGHS.]
I think that it's supposed to get easier.
When? How do you know? I mean, maybe it-- It won't.
Maybe this is a mistake.
Maybe we shouldn't break up.
No.
I don't think that we should stay together just because it's too hard for us to be apart.
I don't think that's a good reason.
[.]
I keep thinking that one day, you're gonna fall in love with someone else, some other girl, someone who isn't me.
I hope so.
God, I hope so.
But you'll always be the first one I ever loved, Julia.
ROSS: So is everything okay? Nothing's okay, actually.
I mean, the restaurant's closed, and I kinda just lost my best friend.
Not really, butpretty much.
That sounds bad.
Yeah, and I I heard Charlie and Bailey talking last night, and I think Bailey's going away to schoolfar away, and I can't say anything, 'cause I don't want them to know that I know.
And I don't want him not to go just because of me.
But I don't want him to go.
I don't want him to go away.
So you're playing again? Yeah.
Only I don't want everyone to see becausethen they'll get, like, all excited, and then there'll be, like, all this pressure, and I don't want pressure.
All I wanna do is play the violin.
That's all.
I mean I think I wanna start again.
And I think I need to.
Well, I get that.
I do.
So let's start again.
That sounded pretty before.
Let's see how much you remember.
Come on.
[PLAYS FESTIVE MUSIC.]
[WAGNER'S "WEDDING MARCH" PLAYING.]
And step together, step together.
That's it.
And step together, step together.
Very good.
Remember to smile.
Ohhh.
You all right, sweetheart? Why? Why do you ask? Well, to be honest? You look a little on the green side.
Heh.
Uh, I need-- I needjust Could you just? There's air outside, right? [CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
What, Bailey? What do you want? You left this note for me in my locker, and-- And before I opened it, I wanted to-- Wow.
Wow, you're not even gonna give me a chance, are you? You don't treat people you love like that.
You just don't.
Sarah-- Yeah, so we had problems.
I push you away too much, you're too protective, I spend too much time with the band.
You don't-- You don't like me changing.
So what? So you sit down, so you talk about things.
Uh, I just I hate you feeling sorry for me.
What? That's what you told Matt, that you stay with me because you feel sorry for me.
I never said that.
I said that I felt bad about all the things you've been through.
God, feel sorry for you? Bailey, I'm-- I'm, like, completely, completely in love with you.
And I thought that was enough.
But I guess it's not.
I guess you want me to go away, and you want me to disappear, so you can make a fresh start someplace else with someone else.
[SIGHS.]
I'm not.
I'm not going.
I'm not going away to school.
It's a done deal.
I'm using my college money to save the restaurant.
It's complicated.
Jake worked out all the details.
I don't get it.
I thought getting outta here was the most important thing -to you.
-Yeah, so did I.
But [SIGHS.]
the problem is [SIGHS.]
Is that I've spent two years fighting, really fighting, to keep us all together.
And so the idea-- The idea that I'd be the first one to leave I mean, us being a family no matter what was-- Was kind of the whole point.
[.]
And you, you're the whole point.
Bailey-- And-- A-and I don't know what happened to me.
Sarah, I don't, but it was like for a second there, it just-- It all just seemed like too much, you know, and I-- And I couldn't handle it.
But the thing is The thing is, I have to handle it.
I have to, because-- Because being with you and And taking-- Taking care of all of them that's kind of who I am.
CLAUDIA: You'd think since it's the last night, people would make a point of being on time.
Is Joe around? Yeah, he's in the kitchen making manicotti.
You know, I was finally gonna tell him, "Joe, I love you, but, man, your manicotti blows," buthe got this phone call, so, uh [SIGHS.]
manicotti.
Man, what a way to end it.
Mm.
Hey.
Guys, I'm sorry I'm late.
I lost track of time.
Sarah and I got to talking and-- Smooching, probably.
What else is new? [SIGHS.]
Bay? So you two were Good.
That's good, Bay.
Yeah.
Anyway, listen, there's something I gotta tell you-- Guys, listen to this.
You're not gonna believe it.
This is unbelievable.
I just got off the phone with Montgomery, and-- Get a load of this-- He's not gonna sell the building.
Yeah, exactly.
How'd you know that? Uh, I heard.
[DOOR OPENS.]
I heard that he wanted to hold onto it for a while, so he took it off the market.
CLAUDIA: Really? Yup.
Really, Bay? Hey, Charlie, did you hear? Wait a second.
He changed his mind just like that? Yeah, just like that.

Owen! Owen, we're not going anywhere.
You sure, man? Yeah.

I mean, it's a lot to give up.
Actually not so much.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Right.
You said count to 50.
[SIGHS.]
You didn't tell them? Uh, not yet.
Here's an idea: Why don't I just go back to the truck and wait? No, Kirsten, wait.
KIRSTEN: No, Charlie.
This was a bad idea.
This is a bad time.
This is your last dinner-- We're celebrating, actually.
The owner's decided not to sell.
We're staying put.
You-- You two didn't just Did you two just--? What did you two just do? We-- We did not get married.
[CHUCKLES.]
Well, I didn't get married.
I mean, I didn't, and we didn't.
But-- But mainly, I didn't.
Um, heh.
I was about to, but Ikinda changed my mind.
The thing with me is always a bride, never a bride.
[CHUCKLING.]
[CHUCKLES.]
So, what does this mean? Beats me.
Beats us.
[CHUCKLES.]
But probably something good.
Probably something pretty great.
[.]
[CHUCKLES.]
Hi, you.
Hey.
Ooh.
[ALL LAUGHING.]
What are the chances of getting something to eat around here? Manicotti in five.
