I thought that you were definitely going to Princeton.
I don't want to be away from you.
You can crash with me until you find something.
No, he can't.
Henry, Vince, Henry, Vince -- aah! Help me fix it.
Okay, calm down.
Listen to me, okay? Unfortunately, you're going to have to make a decision.
I mean, you cannot keep stringing Henry along if you're having these feelings for Vince.
It's just not fair.
What? Henry's still not picking up.
Oh, God, he must hate me.
I am so sorry.
I never would have said anything about Vince if I'd known Henry was standing right there.
No, stop apologizing, okay? It's not your fault.
Hmm, aren't you forgiving? What? Okay, let's be honest.
You did open up your big pie hole.
Lauren, it's not her fault even though she knows Henry always hangs out at the diner.
Yeah, well, Holly's right.
Yeah, I should have known better even though Holly did choose to have a very private conversation in a very public place.
That is true.
Yeah, true.
It's my fault even though it's a conversation that should have been in hushed tones, and Val was belting out her advice like it was open mike night.
Your voice does carry, which is understandable, to overpower your high squeaks.
Yeah.
It's like the two of you together, it's like, "blah, blah" [ squeaky .]
"Blah, blah, blah, blah" "Blah, blah" Ugh, I'm surprised there was anyone left in that diner.
You know what? I don't want to get involved.
You know, I'm just going to call Gary again.
Or, should I say [ squeaky .]
I'm going to call Gary again.
Good idea, Holly! [ cellular phone rings .]
Hello? Hey, did you find him yet? Did you find him? No, I went to Washington Square Park, Chelsea Piers I even went by his parents' apartment.
Nothing.
Okay, will you call me as soon as you find him? As soon as I find him.
So, how you doing? I just I think I'd feel a lot better if I just talked about it.
Do you mind? No.
Go ahead, man.
Let it out.
I hear you, man.
Anything? No, he's still not answering.
Okay, I don't want to be insensitive here, but I'm getting a little bored.
Okay.
He wasn't at Discorama, he wasn't at Astor Place, and he wasn't at Reminiscence, but how cute is this skirt? Okay, I have to get going.
- What? Where are you going? - I can't sit around here anymore.
I have to go find my boyfriend.
- Vince or Henry? - Henry! Henry! Henry! You can say it all you want, you still like Vince.
Okay, you know what? This is not about Vince.
This is about Henry.
Henry is my boyfriend.
Again, I don't want to get involved, but "skinny" is your boyfriend, you got a crush on "gorgeous.
" If you ask me, "pie hole" over here did you a favor.
I think what "none of your business" is trying to say is that it's better to have everything out in the open.
Yeah, you have to decide what you want.
I know what I want.
I want everything to go back to the way it was.
- When? - When everything was great between me and Henry.
I have to go.
No, wait, it's almost 11:00.
I am not going to let you just run around in the middle of the night.
Okay, Val, give me my jacket back.
No, mnh-mnh.
Anything you have to say to him, you can say it tomorrow.
- Give it! - No! You're very upset, he's very upset, and I am just going to have to insist that you don't go.
Give it.
Val! I am not 7 years old anymore.
I swear to God, I can take you down.
Oh, yeah? - Bring it.
- Okay.
I got 20 bucks on Holly.
I don't know.
I think Val's a biter.
You know what sucks about you? You think you know everything.
I don't think.
I know I know everything.
Just like I know you are not going anywhere tonight.
Huh? Well, you know what you don't know You don't know that I know where you hide your car keys.
Hey! Bye.
She took the car keys and Val's coat.
I love that kid! Is this her coat from third grade? [ thinking .]
Look at that ant.
Hi, ant.
I'm going to call you Ant-tonio.
Thanks, man.
I feel a lot better.
That's it? Man, I've been sitting here for two hours, and that's all you got to say?! Man, you killed Ant-tonio! She wouldn't listen to me.
She wouldn't listen to my advice.
Well, you know what's going to happen.
Hmm, that looks really warm.
What? That winter coat on your legs.
Back off.
I shaved this morning.
Ooh.
I'll tell you exactly what is going to happen.
Holly is going to go talk to Henry, he's going to say things out of anger, they're going to hurt each other's feelings, and she is going to be shattered.
And you know who she's going to come running to to pick up the pieces? - [ Both .]
: Me.
- No.
Me.
I am going to have to put everything back together again because that is what I do.
But not this time.
She is on her own.
She thinks she can handle everything on her own? Well, fine, let her handle this on her own, because, quite honestly, this whole thing is starting to really cheese me off.
Hey, Val.
- What? - Want to see something really gross? Quit it.
You know what? I'm sorry.
That was really cold.
Thank you.
Maybe you could start a fire by rubbing your legs together.
[ knock on door .]
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Is Henry here? - No.
When does he usually come home? Well, we've lived together for a day.
So far, he gets home after midnight.
You want to come in and wait for him? Yeah, but I just need you to know that I'm here to see Henry.
Henry is the person I'm here to see.
Henry.
Okay? Whatever.
You okay? You seem a little Seem a little what? You don't know me.
Henry knows me.
Do you want to take your coat off? Okay, I'm not taking anything off.
Okay, fine.
Sorry.
It's just Henry and I had a thing, and it's going to be fine.
I just need to talk to him.
- What kind of thing? - Just a thing.
Okay.
I'm going to get a soda.
Do you want one? Uh, yeah, sure, thanks.
So, uh, what did Henry do? Henry didn't do anything.
It's me.
Well, whatever it is, I'm sure you'll work it out.
I know.
Here's to you two working it out.
Oh, what a surprise.
You're here at Vince's.
Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.
You haven't answered your phone -- Oh, what, were you worried about me? Yes.
Henry, listen, can we go outside and talk? Good luck with that.
I have nothing to say to you.
I'm just going to get my stuff and go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Come on, dude.
She came all the way out here to talk to you.
The least you can do is listen.
Communication -- number one.
Now, the two of you, come here and sit down.
We're going to work this out.
Uh, Vince, come here, man.
I got this.
I got it.
No, I don't think you do, bro.
It's okay.
I have experience.
The state ordered my family to do this all the time.
This is what we're going to do.
Holly's going to tell you her side of the story, and you're going to listen with an open mind, and then Henry is going to tell you how he feels -- Are you kidding me? Aw, crap, you're right.
We're supposed to start with a trust exercise first.
Holly, come here and take my hand.
Stop it.
Dude, I'm just trying to -- Yeah, you've done enough.
Done enough what? What are you talking about? Henry -- He doesn't know? - Know what? - No, Henry, please don't.
Oh, I think you're going to be very excited.
What are you talking about? Why don't you tell him, Holly? Or maybe Val can come over and break the news.
Okay, Henry, stop.
Let's just go outside and talk.
- Dude, what's your problem? - Dude, you're my problem.
You're the reason we're breaking up.
We're breaking up? Because of me? Ask her.
I have to go.
Life was so much easier when Henry didn't talk at all.
[ engine cranks .]
No.
No.
[ engine cranks .]
Come on, come on, come on, come on! [ groans .]
[ screaming .]
[ engine cranks .]
[ sighs .]
Okay.
If you let the car start, I will actually do all the volunteer work I said I did on my college applications.
[ engine cranks .]
I can't believe that you would turn your back on illiterate children.
[ telephone rings .]
Hello? Okay, before you yell, here's what's going on.
You were right, I was wrong, I should have stayed home, but now I'm totally screwed.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that.
It appears Holly is totally screwed.
Yeah, II do hope everything works out okay with that.
- What? - Oh, I'm sorry.
What, were you expecting something else? Say, someone to pick up the pieces? Well, I am no longer in the pick-up-the-pieces business.
I'm really letting her have it.
Shh.
I need you.
I know.
She needs me.
Ha.
Henry broke up with me, Vince knows I like him, the car won't start, it's cold, it's dark, I'm in Brooklyn, and I want to come home.
I'm on my way.
Wait a second.
I don't have a car.
She took my car.
Oh, well, maybe we could take Tina's magic carpet legs.
I can't believe it.
I had no idea Holly liked me like that.
I mean, she wasn't acting any different towards me.
I always thought she was totally into Henry.
Well, she is, you know? She's just -- just confused.
I got to go in there and talk to him.
I can't sit here and do nothing.
Henry -- I just want to thank you for letting me stay here.
I really appreciate it.
You don't have to leave.
Uh, yeah, I do have to leave.
Dude, I'm really sorry, but I'm just as surprised as you are.
Really? You're surprised? Walking around with all your muscles, being all good-looking.
It's a shock she'd like you.
You are easy on the peepers.
Hey, what are you looking for? I'm looking for my wristband.
- What wristband? - It's a brown leather band with Holly's initials on it.
She gave it to me.
I don't even know why I want it.
I just don't want it here.
It's next to the sink.
I saw it there this morning.
[ knock on door .]
I'll get it.
You came back here? Why did you come back here? My car won't start, it's freezing outside, and I wish I was dead.
Okay, come on in, but do you mind if I wait in your car? No, please wait with me here.
All right, I'll help you through it.
Come here.
Uh, Holly's car won't start.
And you know, I think we can all agree that it's real brave of her to come back in here where she's obviously not welcome.
Let's give it up for Holly, huh? Okay.
It's really nice of your mom to let us use her car.
Yeah, she has no idea we have it.
Okay, here's the seat belt.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me Ow, ow, pinching! Ow! Ooh, ooh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to find the buckle.
Ooh! Huh? Found it.
Wait, I cannot ride all the way to Brooklyn like this.
My spinal cord is like an "i.
" Okay, if I spread my legs, you'll fall into the middle, and then you'll have enough room, okay? Okay.
Okay, ready? Yeah.
Okay, just try to move down in there.
Okay.
Ooh.
Can we do that again? All right, let's go.
Mm.
You know, this is nice.
Not really.
Val will be here any minute.
They're in Tina's mom's Porsche.
Porsches are generally pretty fast.
Oh, would you look at this? Look at this, Holly -- a Strokes CD.
Hey, remember when Vince took you to the Strokes rehearsal, and you lied to me about it? Oh, and what's this one? Oh, look, it's the mix CD you made for me.
Oh, look at all the little hearts you drew on it.
Isn't that sweet? And what is this in my pocket? It's a wristband with your initials on it.
Remember when we gave these to each other? Remember? I gave you yours, and I told you I loved you, and you gave me mine, and you said you loved me.
Oh, wait a minute.
You didn't say you loved me.
You said you cared about me.
Well, that turned out to be a steaming pile of monkey crap.
Oh, and you know what was really special? Remember the night when I came over and I -- Okay, you know what, Henry? That's enough.
Would you excuse us for a second? Oh, please, God.
Okay, I understand that you're angry, and I'm sorry about how all this came out, but don't you dare accuse me of not caring about you.
I came here tonight so that we could talk about this and maybe try to fix it, and I am not the one who said anything about breaking up.
You are.
Well, what do you expect? That we could go back to the way things were.
Do you really think that I can go -- [ knock on door .]
[ Henry groans .]
We're here.
Ow, ow.
Oh, I'm sorry.
So was it really uncomfortable? You know, it might have been, had I not been there.
Hey, you look kind of cold.
Hold on, let me give you this, sweetie.
Take my jacket right here.
You're not driving the Porsche.
Freeze your ass off, see if I care.
Red goes on positive, black goes on negative.
Uh, fellas, I don't want to tell you how to do your job, but I did date a Jiffy Lube technician once, and if you want the car to start, you might want to put the big tweezers on the sparkle plugs.
I'm almost done.
How about you? Almost.
Dude, listen.
I hope you and Holly work it out, but whether you do or don't, just know it won't be because of me, because I'm out of it.
Whatever.
No, I want you to know I wouldn't do that to you.
I consider you a friend, and I wouldn't do that to a friend.
Okay.
Hang in there.
We'll be out of here in a minute.
I messed this up so bad.
It's like I couldn't have handled it any worse if I tried.
You should have seen the look on Henry's face.
He hates me.
Everyone hates me.
I don't.
Do you think I should go talk to him? I think -- I think you should do whatever you want to do.
I feel like I can't just leave it like this, but What would you do? Well, I would think about how angry he is and how hurt he must be, and I would wait and let him come to me.
How long do you think I'm going to have to wait? About 10 seconds.
What? I'm outta here.
I'm going to get going.
Okay.
Listen I'm glad that you still care about me.
I do.
Okay.
I still care about you, too.
But this thing with Vince I just can't.
[ Sheryl Crow .]
: Baby, I'll try to love again But I know The first cut is the deepest Let's go ahead and try it.
The first cut is the deepest But when it comes to being lucky [ engine starts .]
He's cursed You okay? Let's just get out of here.
Okay, you ready to go? So ready.
Okay, scooch.
Lauren, there's a back seat.
Yeah, I know, but this is nice.
