ADAM ALEXIS BEN CROWD EDDIE FRANK GREG JACQUE KELLY KRISTA LIZ MAN MATT RACHEL SUMMER SYLVIA WOMAN MATT Today's the day. MATT LIZ Hey, Kris. KRISTA Hey, Liz. MATT Just spilled all over myself, but it doesn’t matter. Today is the day. ADAM Someone's in a good mood, I see. KRISTA I thought Danny was covering your shift today so you could study. LIZ That was the plan, but medical school doesn't pay for itself, so here I am. How was your audition? KRISTA Fine. Another one of those non-speaking just stand still and look pretty roles. LIZ Oh. LIZ Hey, Frank. One large coffee to go? FRANK Yes, sir-ee. I'll never understand the mocha latte what-ys people are so into these days. LIZ Things still slow at the old Dvd rental shop? FRANK Oh, Matt's the only one renting me out of my romantic comedies, but that's about it. LIZ I wish there was something I could do, but everything's online or digital now. FRANK Yeah. I know. MATT Hey, guys! FRANK Oh, hey, Matt. There he is, huh? We were just talking about you. MATT Hey, tell me you wouldn't say yes to this? LIZ That is beautiful. FRANK Oh, Matty. What did you do? LIZ Oh, no, no, no. It's-it's not- MATT Liz Brown, I cannot imagine my life without you. Will you make the happiest man alive and grow old with me? LIZ Sure. Why not? MATT She said yes! FRANK Hey! MATT She said yes. CROWD FRANK Aw. Look at that. Wow. MATT She said yes! FRANK That's right. MATT She said yes. LIZ What are you doing? MATT I have to practice. I'm proposing to Alexis tonight. LIZ Well, it’s about time. EDDIE Boss called me into his office last night after you left. He thinks you did a great job on your new campaign drawings, but we only have a couple of hours to get it all finalized before the client starts breathing down our necks. MATT Sounds great. EDDIE Are you listening to me? I'm the account manager. It's my job to make sure that the artists get their work done in a timely manner- MATT I know, Ed. I'm sorry. Usually you and I make such a great team. I'm just distracted. EDDIE Why? MATT I'm getting engaged. EDDIE Oh, right. That's today. Congratulations. Being in love is great and so, so great and rewarding and all that. There's definitely more to life than being successful and excelling professionally. MATT Not all of us can be workaholics like you. Some of us need human interaction, connection, dare I say love? LIZ Hey, Summer. SUMMER Hey. Just calling to wish you luck on your test. LIZ Thank you. Hey, did you hear? Matt is gonna propose to Alexis tonight. SUMMER Did I hear? Matt is having me decorate his and Adam's apartment for the after-proposal, whatever that is. LIZ I'm so excited for him, and it's so like Matt to propose the old-fashioned way. SUMMER Well, he does take all his cues from romantic movies. I wish a little of that would rub off on Adam. He definitely needs it. All right, I’ll see you soon. LIZ Bye, Summer. SUMMER We’re screenwriters, Adam. How could we overlook this? Where's the love story? ADAM Why does everything have to have a love story? SUMMER Even action-adventure movies have romance, Adam. ADAM We should change that. SUMMER You are so unromantic. ADAM What are you talking about? I got you flowers that one time. SUMMER For my birthday two years ago. ADAM I love you. You and your chronically cold feet. Why don't you ever wear socks? SUMMER I don't need socks. Aw, Matty, you look great. ADAM Dude, you're not actually gonna go through with this, are you? MATT What do you mean? ADAM Listen, Matthew--and I'm calling you Matthew because this is serious. Why ruin a perfectly healthy, happy relationship by signing a contract and slapping on a title? SUMMER I think it's sweet. ADAM The tux is overkill. MATT This is how real men used to dress, the romantic heroes of the silver screen. Bogart, Gable, Grant. ADAM Well, you're gonna need a grant to pay off that tux. MATT Summer, will you please tell your boyfriend that he doesn't know what he's talking about? SUMMER Adam, if you don't stop being such a jerk and start being supportive, I might just ask you when you're gonna propose to me. ADAM The tux looks great, buddy. Good luck tonight, man. You got this. WOMAN So this will be on your test. A chemical reaction. SUMMER We need to get the flowers ready and leave soon. I can't believe that Matt is proposing right now. I guess he'll have some special news to share at the old high school reunion, huh? ADAM Oh, yeah. When is that? SUMMER Next month. ADAM Right. SUMMER I bet people will be surprised when high school sweethearts Adam and Summer aren't married with kids by now. ADAM This is- ALEXIS Hi. I'm meeting my boyfriend, Matt. WOMAN Oh, Matt. Right over this way. Thank you. ALEXIS Hi. Hi! Oh, I'm so sorry that I'm so late. Traffic was horrible. Wow. You're really dressed up. MATT I have a little something for you. ALEXIS What is this? MATT It's our anniversary. ALEXIS Right, right. MATT We've been together for three years. ALEXIS Yes, I know. I know. JACQUE So sorry for the delay, madam and masseur. My name is Jacque, and I'll be your server this evening. We have something--how do you say, special on the menu, just for you. Please, allow me. ALEXIS What is going on? MATT Alexis Margold, I can't imagine my life without you. Please, make me the happiest man in the world and grow old with me. ALEXIS I don't know what to say. MATT Just say yes ALEXIS Matt, I-I can't do this. I'm so sorry. MATT 01:08:01 All right, look, this is just shock- ALEXIS Yeah, it is. MATT I--hey, this is real. ALEXIS MATT I love you so much, and I just want to be with you forever. Please, do me the honor and be my wife. ALEXIS This is so embarrassing. MATT I-I don't understand. Is it someone else? ALEXIS No, of course not. MATT Is it the tux? ALEXIS No, it's not the tux. Look, I think you should get up now. MATT So what is it? ALEXIS We've been growing apart, Matt, for a while now. And I've been trying to give you hints, but you're so in love with being in love and being romantic that you didn't notice. I'm so sorry, Matt. I should go. MATT Alexis, please- JACQUE Yo. Well, when you get a second, the violinist needs to get paid. MATT Thanks. MATT Okay, what do I owe you? FRANK No, tonight's on the house. MATT Really? FRANK Yeah. MATT You're a good man. Thank you. LIZ Matt! Hey. Where's Alexis? MATT She turned me down. LIZ Do you want to talk about it? MATT Yeah, I'd like that. LIZ Wow. MATT I asked Summer to do this, but she really went above and beyond. Safety first. LIZ Let's see what you've got here. Ooh, would you like an orange float? MATT Why not? I like the way you think. LIZ Yeah? Well, creativity is key. MATT You know, I had my doubts, but it's really good. LIZ I know, right? You know what? It's her loss. If she doesn't realize what she's missing, she's crazy. MATT Cheers. EDDIE Hey! What happened this weekend? MATT Everything but a yes. I don't want to talk about it. EDDIE Go see a happy movie. Or you can do what I do when I get sad, lose yourself in work. Work, work, work. You can even stay here overnight. MATT Where do you sleep? EDDIE Under my desk. What? It's cozy. MATT ALEXIS Hey, this is Alexis. Leave me a message, and I'll call you back. MATT Hey, uh, me again. Just calling to talk, so call me back if you want, or, uh, I can call you back some other time. It's whatever you want to do. WOMAN The voice mailbox belonging to Alexis Margold is full. Please try again later. MATT I'll try again later all right. ADAM He's better off without her, and good riddance. SUMMER You don't actually think that, do you? ADAM If it ain't broke, why fix it? I told him not to propose. Look at him now. Just further proof that I'm the master of relationships. SUMMER Master of something, all right. LIZ Hey. ADAM Hey. Your shift starting? LIZ Yeah. I haven't seen or heard from Matt in a while. Like, two or three days. Is he okay? ADAM Yeah, he's handling it like a champ. SUMMER He won't get off the couch. LIZ I just stopped by on my way to work, and he wasn't home. MATT Alexis! ADAM Nice reenactment, man. How's it going? MATT The sprinklers shorted out my boom box. SUMMER What are you doing here? MATT I'm gonna win her back. ADAM Dude, come on. I mean, don't you think this looks, like, a little bit desperate? SUMMER Adam. Let's just--come on. MATT I appreciate the concern, guys, but I got this. ADAM Whoa, whoa. What are you--what are you doing? MATT I'm gonna call her. ADAM No! MATT No! I'm calling- ADAM No! No! MATT No! I’m calling. ADAM Dude, what are you doing? MATT I'm gonna call. SUMMER Just stop! ADAM Uh-oh. ALEXIS Hi. What is going on? MATT Hi, Alexis. ALEXIS Matt, you need to go home. MATT I'm not gonna lose you without a fight. ALEXIS I need some space, Matt. You're not the only one going through this. ADAM I'm sorry, man. SUMMER Let's go. KRISTA Yup. There you go. EDDIE Excuse me. Is Liz working today? KRISTA No, sorry. EDDIE Okay, well, um, maybe you can help me. I'm looking for my friend. He's about this tall. He likes Americanos. His name's Matt. KRISTA I'm sorry, sir, but you're gonna have to wait in line, which is a common practice in establishments such as this one. EDDIE Let me start over. Hi. Krista. Beautiful name. I'm Eddy, the account manager at Jump Over Fences Ad Agency down the street. My customers and clients come in here every day. I, myself, prefer green juice, so this is my first time in your lovely establishment, but by association, I bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit every year, so I'm partially responsible for keeping this place afloat. As a thank you, all you need to do is just listen to my question and give me one quick answer. KRISTA Coffee is the second-most sought after commodity next to oil. The industry generates upwards of 20 billion dollars a year, so if your company is bringing in thousands of dollars of profit, it seems like your employees don't just want their Café Connections coffee, they need it, so you should be thanking me, not the other way around. I haven't seen Matt in a couple days. Now can you please step aside so I can help the next customer? Hi. LIZ I can't believe Matt would do that. What was he thinking? SUMMER I have no idea. This breakup has been really tough on him. LIZ Did he really think the boom box thing would work? SUMMER Well, Matt's always gone a little overboard with the romance stuff. In high school, he fell head over heels for this one girl and literally rode up to school on a horse to ask her to prom. LIZ Well, Matt was really helpful to me after my breakup with Ben. I really want to do something to help him through this. SUMMER What are you thinking? LIZ He loves Americanos. Maybe I'll take him one tonight and see if he wants to talk? SUMMER That's a great idea. But good luck over there. He's a mess. LIZ Matt, it's me. Can I come in? MATT Hey. Thanks. You're the best. LIZ Wow. What happened in here? MATT I cleaned. LIZ Didn't we just watch this a few days ago? MATT Yeah, but romantic comedies are always the best third or fourth time around. LIZ I hate to break it to you, but romantic comedies aren't real. They just make people believe that love is some magical, mystical thing that takes your breath away, but that's not what actually happens. They're kind of useless. MATT They're not useless at all. Yeah, I've been watching these movies on repeat, and I've noticed some patterns and devised a plan. What is the one thing all these movies have in common? LIZ They make lonely people feel worse about themselves? MATT No. No, in these stories, the male interest always gets rejected by his soul mate. First he's in denial. LIZ Check. MATT And then he wallows. LIZ Check, check. MATT And then he gets back out there. LIZ Well? MATT That's my next step. I've got to take charge of my life. I've got to get out of this apartment, change my surroundings. I am gonna live a romantic comedy, and I am gonna get back with my soul mate. LIZ Don't you want to actually move on instead of just hoping to get back together? MATT You know what? You should embark on this journey with me. I'd be good for you too. LIZ No, I don't know. MATT We could do single things together. We could be each other wingmen. In these movies, the male lead always has a best friend, and you could be my partner in crime. Come on. You never have any fun. You're always studying or working. LIZ Well, I guess it couldn't hurt, and I do need to forget about Ben. I still can't get over that rejection. MATT We're gonna go out. We're gonna meet new people. We're gonna have fun, and we're gonna mend our broken hearts. Okay? LIZ Okay. MATT Okay. Let's go. ADAM Hey. LIZ Hey. SUMMER Hey. ADAM Hey, where's Matt? LIZ He's getting drinks. SUMMER I got your text. How did you convince him to come out? LIZ Oh, I didn't. He convinced me. ADAM That doesn't sound like Matt. Unless he has a plan. EDDIE He has a plan. LIZ Yeah. I'll let him explain. MAN Hello. Would you care to join me on the floor of dance? LIZ Oh, thank you so much for asking, but I- MATT She would love to. LIZ Oh, but I was just gonna- MATT No buts. Go have fun. LIZ You are the worst. MATT Hey, guys. WOMAN Hey. How’s it going? MATT Good. Good, good. Everything is great and going according to plan. ADAM And pray tell, what exactly is this plan? MATT Look, you know the saying you don't know what you have until it's gone? In a lot of these rom-coms, when a guy gets a new girlfriend or he acts like he doesn't care as much, that's when the ex wants him back, so when I meet these new women, Alexis will resurface. ADAM Being desirable, not desperate. MATT Exactly. And if I play my cards right, she'll be on my arm by the reunion. ADAM That might actually work. SUMMER As long as you're happy and out of the house. ADAM But the reunion is in less than a month, my man. Do you really think you can get Alexis back by then? SUMMER What Adam is trying to say is we all know how important it was for you to bring her. MATT In these movies, it takes two weeks, max, to win the girl. It won't be easy, but I think it can be done. MATT May I cut in? MAN As you wish. MATT LIZ MATT Yes. LIZ Wow. MATT You having fun? LIZ Yeah. MATT Yeah? Did you know I took four years of ballroom? LIZ Yeah, you should probably get your money back. MATT ADAM I can't believe what Matty's doing. SUMMER I think it's great that he's managed to keep such an idealistic and romantic view of love. He's not cynical like the rest of us. ADAM I think it's kind of naïve. I just don't want him to be disappointed and get hurt all over again in case it doesn't work out, you know? KELLY Adam? Summer? Hey! SUMMER Kelly! ADAM Kelly, how have you been? KELLY Good. Great! It's been so long. So good to see both of you. Summer, you haven't changed a bit since high school. This is my husband, Greg. SUMMER Summer, nice to meet you. ADAM Adam, what's up, man? GREG Hey, I love meeting people from Kelly's high school days. KELLY Adam and Summer are classic high school sweethearts. They were so cute. Always writing zany scripts together. SUMMER We still are. We. ADAM Yeah. SUMMER Actually had some success. KELLY That's amazing. Oh, so happy to hear that. GREG So what do you write? ADAM Oh, like, action-adventure, mostly. KELLY Oh. SUMMER With a little romance sprinkled in. KELLY Oh, I love the romance. GREG How is it working with the wife? ADAM Oh, we're not married, but it's awesome, you know? Can't complain. GREG Cool. Cool. KELLY We should actually get going. SUMMER Yeah. We-we should get going, too, and finish working on our script. GREG See you at the reunion. SUMMER Yeah. ADAM Yeah, nice meet you. SUMMER Bye. KELLY See you there. LIZ Two waters, please. Thanks. So any prospects? MATT Whoa, no. I said I would come to the bar, not immediately find a date on our first night out. LIZ It doesn't hurt to try. MATT LIZ Oh, pretty girl, 3:00. Other 3:00. MATT Yeah. LIZ You should talk to her. MATT Yeah, I don't know. It's been three years. LIZ Come on. You want me to do it? I'll tell her you won that Shakespeare competition in the eighth grade and can recite any sonnet from heart. MATT I told you that in confidence. LIZ I'm gonna tell her. MATT No, you're not gonna tell her. No. I got this. LIZ You got this. MATT I'm gonna do it. LIZ Then do it. MATT I am. It's gonna be fine. Hi. Um, may I buy you a drink? WOMAN Mm-hmm. Sure. MATT Oh, perfect. MAN Here you go. Manhattan. Extra cherry. MATT All right. MAN That’ll be $12.50. MATT Thank you. WOMAN Thanks a lot. LIZ Oh, that was an expensive “hi.” MATT $12, plus tip. LIZ Could have been worse? MATT Yeah. ADAM What's wrong? SUMMER Nothing. I'm just tired. ADAM I'm just tired never means I'm just tired. SUMMER Okay, you caught me. ADAM How about tomorrow night we hire a nanny to watch our baby, Aka the script, and we just do something fun? Just the two of us. How does that sound? SUMMER I would really, really like that. ADAM All right, so let me just finish writing down this last idea, 'cause it's brilliant. SUMMER You say that about all your ideas. Even the film noire detective who doubles as a dog psychic. ADAM Name one person that wouldn't watch that. SUMMER I don't think I'm gonna answer that. ADAM Exactly. MATT I just hope the plan works before the reunion. I don't want to go alone, you know? That, and I have to prove Adam wrong 'cause I know he thinks I'm crazy. LIZ Well, maybe you are just a little bit. I'm kidding. Okay? But don't worry about it. If Alexis hasn't come back by next week, I'll fill in. MATT Really? LIZ Buddies till the bitter end. MATT That's awesome. LIZ So what's on tap for tomorrow? MATT Oh, I've got something really good planned. LIZ Bring it on. SUMMER Hello? It's me. I brought Saturday morning bagels. Adam? ADAM SUMMER Hey, songbird, I'm gonna get started on the notecards. ADAM SUMMER Hey, Liz. I think tonight's the night. LIZ What do you mean? SUMMER I just found Adam's to-do list, and it says, "Buy champagne, pick up a gift for Summer, and take her to dinner." I think he's gonna propose. LIZ That sounds promising. SUMMER I know. I mean, I'm really surprised. He has been acting even more unromantic than usual. LIZ Well, sometimes when you need to keep a bit secret, you distance yourself. SUMMER Yeah, that makes sense. LIZ It's always when you least expect it. SUMMER I should go. I don't want him to hear me. LIZ Okay, call me later and tell me everything. SUMMER I will. I will. Bye. ADAM SUMMER Okay. Shh, shh, shh. KRISTA Got it? Okay. There you go. EDDIE I waited in line this time. KRISTA I can see that. Do you want a gold star? EDDIE Yes. I mean, no. I wanted to reintroduce myself. My name's Eddie, Edward. Nice to officially meet you. KRISTA I usually get a customer's name after they order their coffee. EDDIE Do you like being a barista? KRISTA Ever since I was a young girl, I dreamt of serving the under-caffeinated. I can safely say I'm living the dream. EDDIE That is great. I love it when people pursue their passions. KRISTA Do you want to order something? EDDIE Yeah. What's the closest thing you have to green juice? KRISTA Nothing. EDDIE Nothing? KRISTA Green tea, I guess. EDDIE Doesn't that have a lot of caffeine? Because when I have too much caffeine, I can't stand still. Might have to dance. KRISTA Green tea has been known to raise blood pressure, so I can see your desire to dance. EDDIE Do you like dancing? KRISTA I guess so. EDDIE That's what people do for fun, right? So what do you say? You want to dance with me? KRISTA Not really the venue. No music, no dance floor. EDDIE Right. That was dumb. I'll go. FRANK That's impossible. MATT Hey, Frank. FRANK Oh, hi. Hiya, Matty. MATT I've come to return this batch and get some new ones. I know they're late. What do I owe you? FRANK It's on the house. MATT Frank, come on. FRANK Meet Cute is closing. MATT What? FRANK I can't make ends meet anymore. I mean, I've never considered myself to be a quitter, and my dad, oh. MATT So business is a little slow, so what? All companies experience peaks and valleys. FRANK Look around. I got no choice. MATT We've got to keep this place open, for your dad, for me, for all of us. FRANK No. It's just a different world now, and this store, it just can't thrive like it used to. MATT I'm not gonna let that happen to you, Frank. I promise. ADAM So what do you think about moving scene 37 into the third act? As sort of, like, double-twist finale? You know? What? SUMMER ADAM What's all that for? SUMMER I just--I love you, and I am really excited or dinner tonight. ADAM Yeah, me too. I got a little surprise for you too. SUMMER Well, ten points for you. And as for this, it should go right here. ADAM Ooh, you're good. I like that. SUMMER Right? ADAM Yes. SUMMER Uh-huh. ADAM Bam. SUMMER EDDIE Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, I couldn't agree with you more. I'll get back to you right away. MATT I knew you'd be here on a Saturday. EDDIE Matty, the client loves us. They're hiring us again for the next campaign. MATT That's great news. Yeah. All right. EDDIE So what's up? What brings you around these parts? MATT Um, Meet Cute Movie Rentals. They're going under, and I'm worried about Frank. EDDIE Well, that's a shame. I know you love that place, but people don't want to rent Dvds anymore. MATT I know, but I have to help him. I think I'm gonna draw signage or whatever I can do to help bolster advertising and get people back into the store, but when it comes to marketing, you know that's not my area of expertise. EDDIE Uh-huh. MATT But it just so happens one of my best buds is amazing at helping businesses thrive through creative advertising, experimental strategy, events. He's the king of rebrand. EDDIE Who is this guy? He sounds like a real winner. MATT What do you say? EDDIE I've just got so much to do here, you know? I'm sorry, man. MATT Eddie, please. You're a tenacious worker. You manage the top accounts. We need you. You could be the Robin Hood of advertising. EDDIE I'll go over there tomorrow. MATT Yeah? EDDIE Yeah. MATT Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Frank's gonna be so happy. Thank you! EDDIE Robin Hood of advertising. Has a nice ring to it. SUMMER I need help. LIZ What's up? SUMMER I'm about to get engaged, and I have nothing to wear. LIZ Okay, deep breaths. You know that he loves you no matter what you wear. SUMMER Right. Thanks. So can I call you after? LIZ You'd better! I want to hear all the details. I'll be back around 11:00. SUMMER 11:00? Where are you going? LIZ Um, I'm not really sure. I'm meeting Matt to work on his plan to win Alexis back. SUMMER Okay, I really don't understand his plan. So he wants to move on with his life so Alexis will see that he's happy without her and magically come back to him? LIZ I think so? SUMMER He's really been watching too many of those movies. LIZ Happy pre-engagement! SUMMER Eee, thank you! Oh. LIZ What? No. Speed-dating? I'm not doing this. MATT Oh, well, I already signed us up. LIZ What terrible movie gave you this idea? MATT None. I came up with this one all by myself. Hi. Liz Brown, and this is me. Come on. LIZ I'm Liz. MATT Hi. I'm Matt. WOMAN Hi. LIZ Hm. MATT So what brings you speed-dating, huh? Are you okay? LIZ Excuse me? MAN Oh, never mind. MATT Hi. I'm Matt. MAN MATT You've been busy, huh? Oh. WOMAN David and Penelope. This is our newest baby. MAN Hey, I’m Eric. MATT Hey. Do you want to leave? LIZ Yes. MATT Okay. SUMMER When you suggested an intimate date night, fast food wasn't the first thing that came to my mind. ADAM What are you talking about? Ketchup-smothered fried goodness doesn't scream romance to you? Hm? SUMMER No. I-I guess you're right. I mean, as long as we're together, it's romantic. ADAM Yeah. SUMMER It's just nice to finally spend some quality one-on-one time together without our faces buried in laptops. ADAM Exactly. I just hope I got a toy. SUMMER You are such a man-child. ADAM And proud of it. Oh, yes! This is awesome. SUMMER Ah. ADAM What'd you get? SUMMER I don't know. What is this? ADAM I don't know. Why don't you open it up? SUMMER You never do anything like this. ADAM Well, I love you. So I just wanted to get you a little something to show you that. SUMMER Socks? ADAM Yeah because of your feet. Aren't they soft? What's wrong? SUMMER I thought it was--I need a minute. ADAM What-what are you doing? You didn't even touch your food! LIZ Charming. MATT Oh, man. LIZ Meredith. MATT Meredith! LIZ Oh, Mer. MATT Oh, Mer. LIZ MATT That Meredith. LIZ MATT Oh, hey, how about Sir Talks-a lot? He was a stellar guy. Great listener. LIZ MATT It was amazing to watch. He never even BEN You look beautiful tonight. You know that, right? MATT Susan? LIZ No. Uh-- MATT What? LIZ It's my ex. MATT Huh? LIZ It's Ben. He's here. I don't--I don't want him to see me. BEN I’m a lucky guy. MATT Uh, too late. BEN Hey. How are you, Lizzie? LIZ I'm great. I'm good. BEN Uh, this is Rachel, my, uh--my girlfriend. LIZ This is Matt. BEN Yeah, I remember. Yeah. We, uh--we met once or twice, right? Yeah, it's nice to see you, Matt. MATT Yeah. BEN Can you believe they do speed-dating in here? That's pretty lame, right? RACHEL Ben. BEN You guys did that? LIZ Yeah, we-- MATT No. We're together. We just came from a work function, hence the nametags. BEN Yeah. That's, uh--that's what we're doing here. RACHEL Whoo, I mean, that could have been really awkward. LIZ Yeah, it could have been. RACHEL I wouldn't be caught dead speed-dating. I mean, I feel so bad for the people that do. LIZ Yeah, so embarrassing. BEN Um, so we'll, uh--we'll see you around, I guess. LIZ Bye. MATT You okay? LIZ Yeah, I'm good. I'm great. MATT Do you want to sit down for a little bit? ADAM Hey, Summer. Come--man, I really need to get into better shape. What-what did I do? SUMMER I just--I need to be alone. ADAM A guy does something nice for you, and this is how you react? SUMMER Something nice, Adam? I thought you were gonna propose. ADAM Why-why would you think that? SUMMER I don't know. Maybe because I found your list that mentioned champagne and a gift and dinner, but I never should have paid attention to any of that. ADAM I'm more than committed to you, okay? I just don't see how signing papers and wearing rings is gonna do anything for us. SUMMER Fine. I will see you for our writing session tomorrow. ADAM Hey, come on. LIZ I can't believe that's the guy who broke my heart and dumped me after two years. It's like you have this strong connection with someone, and then you see that person, and it's like you're looking at a stranger. MATT When did you know you were in love with him? LIZ It's not like the movies. I didn't have that struck-by-lightning, aha moment. I think it's something that happens overtime. MATT Did you want to marry him? LIZ I know I don't seem like the type that wants that or even wants to get married, and I don't just for the sake of it, but I think everyone wants love. MATT Forget that guy, okay? You're beautiful, and you're smart, and you're amazing, and you don't deserve to be with someone who's too foolish to see that. LIZ Thanks. MATT That's the second time you've said that tonight. LIZ I know. You're on a roll. MATT I know. EDDIE If you're not gonna alter your product to reflect the times, you've got to change your demographic or your marketing tactic. What exactly are you selling? FRANK Well, I rent videos. EDDIE Right, but what else? FRANK Uh, well, I guess it's a feeling of EDDIE Camaraderie? FRANK Yes. EDDIE Okay, so you're selling a warm, inviting neighborhood place, an opportunity to make friends, a chance to fall in love. FRANK Yes. EDDIE Yes. KRISTA FRANK Oh, hi, Krista. KRISTA Hi, Frank. You didn't come in for your morning coffee today, so I thought I'd bring it to you on my break. FRANK Oh, see, she does this every time I don't show. She is a very aggressive barista. KRISTA So what are you boys up to anyway? Getting ready to close your shop? FRANK Uh, no, actually, change of plan. Eddie here's gonna help me market the place to get more customers. It's a last-ditch effort, I suppose. KRISTA I didn't realize your services were so affordable, given that you're such a big, important executive. FRANK Oh, no, no, no, no. He wouldn't charge me a dime. He does it out of the goodness of his heart. KRISTA Well, I'll let you two get back to it. See you. MATT Hey, Summer. ADAM Hey, babe. SUMMER Hello, Matt. ADAM I wasn't expecting you this early. What's up? SUMMER Nothing. I have plans today, so I want to finish the B story in a few hours. MATT Hey. SUMMER You're sweet. MATT We are out of coffee, so I'm gonna go grab some. Good luck on breaking the story, if that's what you guys call it. MATT Hey. KRISTA Hey. MATT How are you? KRISTA I'm amazing. On cloud nine. I just booked a gig, and guess what? MATT What? KRISTA It's a role with Depp and Gravitas. I get to show my range, and I am just so excited. MATT Well, congrats. Why aren't you out celebrating? I thought Liz was supposed to be here. KRISTA She called in sick this morning, so I'm covering her shift, poor thing. MATT I should go check on her, all right? I'll see you later. KRISTA Bye. MATT Bye. LIZ Who is it? MATT Your personal MD for the evening. Even doctors need doctors, right? LIZ How did you know I was sick? MATT Krista told me. I got worried, so I came to take care of you. Brought you some soup and a couple of my favorite movies to cheer you up. LIZ Thanks, but I'm fine, really. MATT You're not fine. Let me see if I can make my way around your kitchen. You want some tea? LIZ Yeah, I just put some water on. MATT Perfect. Sit down, relax. LIZ MATT You want honey? LIZ Yes, please. MATT Okay. Here you go. LIZ Thank you. MATT Let me feel your head. That feels like you might have a fever, but I guess you'd know that, right? LIZ I'm just clammy. MATT Here. LIZ You don't have to do that. MATT No, you have to let people take care of you sometimes, Liz. It's okay. Here, put this on your head. You're gonna feel much better. LIZ Just in time for the reunion. Don't think I forgot. MATT You don't need to worry about the reunion. You need to worry about sleep. You work too much. The coffee shop, school- LIZ Winning back your girlfriend. MATT Oh, there she is. LIZ Hey, I'm just sick. MATT I see that. Okay. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. LIZ ADAM How are you feeling? SUMMER I've been better. ADAM I wanted to say I'm sorry. SUMMER For what? ADAM That you're upset. That I upset you. SUMMER Thank you. I appreciate your apology but, I mean, that doesn't change or fix anything. We're stuck, and I don't know. I'm starting to think that maybe we'd be better off if we moved on. ADAM I-I don't want to move on--look, that's not what I'm saying. SUMMER Then what are you saying? ADAM Is this about the reunion? SUMMER Okay. I am going to finish the writing from today from home. I will e-mail you when I'm done with the scenes, and when we're done with the script then, you know, we can just both go our separate ways. ADAM I thought we were having a discussion. SUMMER We've been doing this for a decade, Adam. I can't do this limbo anymore. MATT Hey, man. Is Summer okay? ADAM I'm going for a drive. MATT Forget your keys? ALEXIS Hi. MATT Hi. LIZ Matt? ALEXIS Yeah, I'm so sorry about just dropping by. I know I should have called. I just was in the area, and-- MATT It's okay. I understand work emergencies. ALEXIS Yeah, there's no way to alter a dress design for a client without my swatches and my sewing kit. Oh, and, um, here's this too. MATT Oh, no, no, no. You keep that. You love that thing. You should have it. ALEXIS I do wear it a lot. MATT Yeah. ALEXIS Thank you. I will give him a happy home. MATT So this is it, huh? ALEXIS Matt, I, um--I-I didn't actually need any of this stuff tonight. MATT What do you mean? ALEXIS I just really missed you, and I wanted an excuse to see you. I know that's lame. MATT No, no, it's not lame. I miss you. A lot. ALEXIS I should go. I do actually have to do some work. You know, the whole freelance thing and always on the clock. MATT I understand. ALEXIS It's really good to see you, Matt. MATT It was good to see you too. ALEXIS Bye. MATT Bye. Yes! She misses me. ADAM You look good, man! MATT Well, I knew it was gonna work all along. My plan's working. EDDIE Wait, but I don't get it. I thought you said that you had to get over Alexis or get a new girlfriend in order for her to come back. MATT She's starting to realize that I might not always be around. She doesn't want to lose me for good, so I think I'll hear from her soon. Just like in the movies, and just in time for the reunion, as promised. ADAM Yeah, yeah, yeah. EDDIE So if you inadvertently make a girl jealous, she'll notice you? MATT Definitely. Where you going? EDDIE I got some work to do. MATT Come on. ADAM Bye. SUMMER Socks. I couldn't believe it. I felt so stupid. LIZ You're not stupid. He clearly loves you, and he'll come around. SUMMER No. No. I'm done. I-I don't want to wait another ten years for him to change his mind. LIZ I'm sorry, Summer. SUMMER I need him to put our love in front of his own insecurities. I just don't always want to feel like I'm second-best. LIZ No one does. Hey. EDDIE Ah, here, babe. Let me get that for you. KRISTA Evening, Eddie. EDDIE Oh, hey. How's it going? KRISTA Living the dream, per usual. And who's this? EDDIE I'm actually on a date. KRISTA Really? EDDIE Sorry. We don't mean to be so in love right in front of you. KRISTA No, no. It's fine. You guys seem like a really great couple. EDDIE Yeah, we are. KRISTA So what can I get you two lovebirds? EDDIE We will have two green teas. She'll be paying for herself. WOMAN Ugh. What? SUMMER I'm really glad we're doing this. I've never gone stag before. Just makes me kind of nervous. If I go to the reunion alone, I want to look good. LIZ Oh, trust me. You will. Yeah, and thanks for helping me too. I spend most of my time in scrubs or an apron, so I have no fashion sense. SUMMER What is that? LIZ This is my prom dress, and I think it's perfect. SUMMER What, are you 16? LIZ Oh, come on. It's a statement piece. I think you should wear it. SUMMER That is a great idea, Liz. All the boys will flock to me out of pity. LIZ see? That's the spirit. SUMMER LIZ Okay, well, I should get going. My shift is starting, but why don't you show me the other option? SUMMER Okay. LIZ I think you should call him, Summer. I mean, it's clear you guys are meant to be together. You shouldn't let this get in the way of that. SUMMER I don't know. It's obvious that we want different things out of life. And he shouldn't be running from the person he loves. I've grown up, and he should too. LIZ That's the one. SUMMER Yeah? LIZ Yeah. MATT So-- LIZ We have to accept. MATT LIZ So I think I found the perfect dress for the reunion. I think you'll love it. MATT I'm sure I will. ALEXIS Hey. MATT Hey. I didn't see you there. LIZ Hi. Alexis. LIZ Hi! I'm Liz. I think we've met a couple of times. ALEXIS Do you mind if I borrow him for a moment? LIZ Yeah, no, that's fine. I have to get back to studying anyway, and Matt can be such a distraction. ALEXIS Can I talk to you outside? MATT Um, I'll see you later, right? LIZ Yeah, see you then. ALEXIS So what's happening later? MATT We're gonna go visit Frank. Eddie did some rebranding on Meet Cute, so I'm gonna check in and see how it's progressing. What did you want to talk about? KRISTA What you looking at, creeper? LIZ Nothing. KRISTA Oh, that is not fun to watch, but it's probably nothing. They're just talking. LIZ But I want it to be something for Matt's sake. KRISTA Speaking of Matt, what do you think about his friend Eddie? LIZ The weird one? KRISTA Yeah. He's kind of cute, right? LIZ Krista Chapman, you little minx. KRISTA ALEXIS I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I took you for granted, and I don't want to do that again. I'm so sorry for everything, Matt. I love you. Let's get back together. MATT Really? ALEXIS Really. Unless you don't want that. MATT It is what I wanted. You're the one I want. ALEXIS I missed you. MATT I missed you. ADAM LIZ You and Eddie are doing a great job. Look at this place. Oh, I'm sorry. Am I being too loud? FRANK Well, heck no. It's not a library. MATT This place is really gonna look awesome. FRANK Yeah, it's awesome. You know, he did some research. Well, there's been an influx of people who like old things. I don't know, it feels weird calling Dvds old, but apparently they are into what Eddie refers to as outdated technology. LIZ Hipsters. MATT Yeah, hipsters. FRANK Hey, call 'em what you will. The fish are biting, huh? Ah. Well, what are you two up to tonight? MATT Well, I've got a date tonight. LIZ We do? MATT Uh, yeah, with Alexis. FRANK Oh, so you're back together again? MATT Yeah. Um, I-I was gonna tell you- LIZ No, that's great. That's what you wanted the whole time, right? MATT Yeah. LIZ I am so happy for you. Can't believe your plan worked. FRANK Well, I hear some un-stacked Dvds calling my name, so- LIZ So I guess you don't need me to go with you to the reunion anymore. MATT Yeah, I don't mean to dis-invite you, but I can only get one plus one, you know? LIZ Yeah. No, totally cool. I understand. She's your soul mate, right? MATT Yeah. LIZ Why Alexis? What is it about her? MATT Um, I've never really thought about that. I don't think you can put words together to describe love. I think it's just a feeling. LIZ Being with Alexis is what you want, then that's all that matters. EDDIE Hi. KRISTA Hi. Where's your girlfriend? EDDIE She's busy. Uh, she had a prior engagement, uh- KRISTA Okay. EDDIE Krista, I have a confession to make. That was not my girlfriend, and that feels really good to get off my chest. KRISTA Really? Then who was she? EDDIE Jacqueline's a friend from work. She was pretending for me because I thought that if I--I don't know. I'm really sorry. I've never done anything like that before. I've just never met someone so quick on her feet, and I don't just mean behind the counter. You are really smart. KRISTA Thanks, Eddie. I really appreciate that. I'm glad someone realizes I'm more than just the girl who makes really cool latte art. EDDIE Yes. Though I've seen your smiling kitten one, and that is Monet-level good. KRISTA My foam designs are more modern than impressionist, so- EDDIE You're absolutely right. Andy Warhol good. KRISTA Thanks. EDDIE So I'm actually single. KRISTA You don't say? EDDIE Yeah, very single. KRISTA I'm glad. EDDIE Okay. Look, I'm just gonna level with you. I'm really good at my job, but I'm pretty much terrible at everything else. I've tried to ask you out. I've tried to make you jealous, and nothing's worked. KRISTA You've been trying to ask me out? EDDIE Yes. Now I'm just gonna take the same approach that I used in my work, which is to set an intention, be direct, and follow through, so Krista, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? KRISTA I like that approach, but unfortunately I can't. EDDIE Okay. KRISTA But I'm free tomorrow night after work, if that's good for you. EDDIE We can get some dinner? KRISTA Yeah. Meet me here, 8:00? EDDIE Cool. KRISTA Cool. I still have to work. EDDIE Sorry. Yeah. Work. I'm a big fan of work. MATT You and Summer haven't made up yet? ADAM No. MATT Here. Maybe that'll give you some inspiration. ADAM Wow. You're letting me watch one of your precious rom-coms. MATT Yeah. I don't think I need it anymore. You, on the other hand, need some education. ADAM I don't know, man. I think you still need it. MATT What's that supposed to mean? ADAM Come on. For a guy who knows romantic comedies like the back of his hand, you sure don't know true love when it's right in front of your face. MATT What are you talking about? ADAM Dude, even I know. Come on. You and Liz? It's the real deal. MATT All right, I've got to go get ready for my date with Alexis. ADAM Right. KRISTA Hi, Liz. Beautiful night, isn't it? LIZ You're in a good mood. KRISTA Well, I made the perfect foam heart for the last customer. LIZ Don't play coy with me. Nobody's that cheery over latte art. KRISTA Okay, guilty. Something kind of exiting just happened. LIZ What? KRISTA Well, I may or may not have a date tomorrow night. LIZ Alert the presses. Guys always ask you out, but you never say yes. KRISTA I know. It's crazy and weird because it's not like me to get this nervous and hopeful, but I don't know. This feels different. LIZ Eddie? KRISTA He asked me to dinner. LIZ I'm so happy for you. I could tell you were crushing. KRISTA Yeah. It's been a while. I haven't felt these butterflies in a really long time. ALEXIS I'm still kind of surprised you wanted to eat at Dupons, of all places. I didn't know you were into cheap eats. Is this a new thing? MATT I wanted to try something new, a little spontaneous, plus I like this place. It's got a good vibe. ALEXIS Yeah, I guess so. Thanks. MATT And chicken tacos. ALEXIS Thank you. MATT Thanks. ALEXIS Yeah. They're, um--look delicious. MATT Mm-hmm. They're not too spicy. ALEXIS So, um, are you excited about the reunion? MATT 02:01:07 Yeah. But you know what would be fun? We could go dancing here after we eat. ALEXIS Hm. MATT Or, I-I mean, we could go another time when our bellies aren't full of tacos. ALEXIS Hm, I don't know about that. What about your, uh, two left feet? MATT Yeah, you're-you're right. Sorry. It-it was a bad idea. MATT Hey! You have some 'splaining to do. Do you know what it is, Mister? EDDIE I'm early. MATT Yeah, by 15 minutes, not the usual two hours. This will not do if you want to move up the ladder. EDDIE Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yuck it up. MATT What's the story? EDDIE Seriously? It's Krista. I think it's that thing that you're always talking about. MATT Love? EDDIE Yeah, that. MATT Eddie in love with a person, not a spreadsheet. Never thought I'd see the day. EDDIE I know. It's crazy. That thing was cool with Alexis, huh? MATT Yeah. EDDIE Well, must be really happy everything worked out, and just in time for tonight. MATT Yeah, it's gonna be great. LIZ EDDIE You look great. KRISTA I just took my apron off. EDDIE I know. Wow. KRISTA You're silly. So where do you usually go to eat? EDDIE Honestly, I don't really take time to eat since I'm always working. I live off of healthy TV dinners. Anything that can go in the microwave for two to three minutes, preferably brain food, is fair game. KRISTA But you know microwaves can harm your brains cells, so isn't that counterintuitive? EDDIE I thought that was a myth. Maybe I should stop that then. I need all the brain cells I can get. KRISTA You really do. And besides, TV dinners sound unpleasant, like a taste bud's worst nightmare. EDDIE But they're not that bad. I eat at the office every night. I have to be efficient. KRISTA I understand efficiency, but part of being productive is taking time off to live a little. EDDIE Tonight is lady's choice. KRISTA What is this? The Sadie Hawkins dance? EDDIE Who is Sadie Hawkins, and why did she have a dance named after her? KRISTA She wasn't a real person, actually. She was a character in a popular cartoon. She waited 15 years for a suitor to come, and when no one came, she gathered all the unmarried men together and declared it Sadie Hawkins Day. EDDIE A woman after my own heart. KRISTA I know, right? She didn't take no for an answer, and she just went for it. EDDIE I meant you. But yeah, Sadie sounds pretty cool too. KRISTA I know a perfect place around the corner. MATT What do you think so far? Any good? ADAM It's cliché and predictable. MATT Have you seen the scene where-- ADAM Yes. Cried like a baby. MATT You're a good man. You sure you don't want to come with? ADAM Yeah. Don't be a jerk, man. I just want Summer to have a good time. I don't want to mess up her night. It's the least I could do. MATT Well, if you change your mind, you know where to find us. ADAM Yeah. MATT Hey, Summer! SUMMER Hey. MATT Hey. You okay? SUMMER Yeah. MATT How you doing? SUMMER I'm all right. KELLY Hey, Summer, and Matt! GREG Hey, Summer. Where's Adam? SUMMER Don't know. KELLY Is she okay? MATT Yeah, she'll be fine. KELLY Well, go on in. Enjoy. MATT We will. Thank you. KELLY You're welcome. Bye. EDDIE How's the acting going? ALEXIS There's a talent agent I met. She came into Café Connection, and she's excited to give me a new read. Who would have thought I would have got my big break at a coffee shop? I mean, it just sounds like a dream. EDDIE Krista, that's amazing. Frank's gonna be renting out your Dvds soon. KRISTA Stop. EDDIE Can I tell you something? KRISTA Maybe. EDDIE After this date is over, I'm not going to be able to wait that whole three day rule thing. KRISTA I'm not gonna want you to wait. Now let's go liven up those taste buds. MATT Do you know all these people? SUMMER Some of us actually socialized during lunch instead of writing poetry alone in the cafeteria. ALEXIS Oh, the cafeteria? MATT Yeah, what can I say? The mystery meat inspired me. SUMMER So where's- MATT Um, Adam stayed home. SUMMER Probably for the best. ADAM ADAM SUMMER Dear Adam, even though we are going to different colleges next year, I know we can preserve because our love is that strong and because we are meant to be together. No matter what we go through or where the road takes us, I want you to know one thing. Life is sure to change us as individuals, but our love will never fade. Summer. KELLY Adam, hey. ADAM Hey, Kelly, Greg. GREG You're looking a little pale. All that writing turn you into a vampire? ADAM Yeah, is-is, uh- KELLY Everyone's inside. ADAM Hey. SUMMER What are you doing here? ADAM Summer Jones, Adam White. We had, uh, creative writing class together. SUMMER Doesn't' ring a bell. ADAM I-I was the one who wrote the story about the dead dog séance. SUMMER Right. Uh, "Animals After Parting". Your work had a lot of dogs in it. ADAM Yeah. I had a limited imagination back then. Well, my latest idea also involves dogs, so the- SUMMER So what have you been up to since high school? ADAM Well, I, um--I'm in love. With the most amazing girl ever. She's my writing partner in crime, and she has, like, wicked sense of humor, you know? And she's really, really smart. SUMMER Sounds perfect. ADAM Like, way smarter than me. SUMMER ADAM Summer, I--look, the word husband is not one I take lightly at all, and you deserve the best. I was just scared that I wouldn't live up to your expectations. No matter what we go through or where the road takes us, I want you to know one thing. Life is sure to change us as individuals, but our love will never fade. SUMMER What is this? ADAM Open it up. SUMMER It's your grandmother's ring. ADAM She told me to keep it until I was ready, and I am. Summer Jones, my beautiful partner in crime, will you please marry me? SUMMER Yes. Yes, I will. MATT What? What? Congratulations, man. Gosh, that was beautiful. ADAM Thank you. I-I appreciate that, man. I mean, especially coming from you, Mr. Romance himself. MATT Well, I don't know about that. What made you change your mind? ADAM You know, you're always talking about, like, soul mates and all that stuff, and I always thought that was so corny, but you're right. Sometimes you know, and sometimes there is that one perfect person for you out there, and I didn't want to waste another second of my life without her. So let's dance, yeah? SUMMER ADAM Shall we? I'll take that. SUMMER ALEXIS Oh, Matt. Gosh. You keep stepping on my feet. MATT Sorry. I, uh- ALEXIS What's wrong? MATT You're a wonderful person. ALEXIS So are you. You don't love me anymore. MATT No. ALEXIS Neither do I. MATT What? ALEXIS I know. I know. MATT You don't love me either? ALEXIS No. MATT ALEXIS I mean, I do, but not in--not in that way. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come back. I just--I thought that maybe the second time around things would be different. MATT No, I'm-I'm glad you did. I want you to be happy, but you were right. I mean. ALEXIS Yeah. MATT We're just not meant to be. ALEXIS No. There's someone else. That woman from the coffee shop? MATT We haven't done anything. It's just-- ALEXIS You love her. MATT Yeah. ALEXIS Hm. Good luck, Matt. MATT You too. ALEXIS Get out of here. MATT Liz. I made a terrible mistake. I ended things with Alexis. We weren't right for each other. I think I love you. LIZ A few hours ago you were with another woman, and you were convinced she was your soul mate. MATT Okay, look, I'm not gonna lie. I did want Alexis back initially, but I was confused. LIZ You're just in love with being in love, Matt. And I can't trust that. MATT Then what can I do? What can I do? I'm crazy about you. LIZ I think you should find somewhere else to get your morning coffee. EDDIE Newly redesigned Meet Cute Movie Rentals. Okay, first off, we're gonna put signs up here and up here and on the other side there. LIZ KRISTA You expecting someone? LIZ No. KRISTA You should talk to him. He didn't do anything wrong. He broke up with her because he wants to be with you. Hey, Frank. FRANK Hey, Krista. Hey, Liz. Something wrong? KRISTA This one's having a little bit of a rough time. LIZ Oh, no. It's nothing. FRANK No, no, no, no. I don't like to see you down. LIZ No, really, I'm fine. FRANK Hey, how would you like to help an old man set up for tomorrow's big event? What? Huh? Balloons? I might rent a monkey. I might purchase a monkey. I don't know. Whatever's in the budget. What do you say? MATT Hey. Where's Frank? He told me to meet him. LIZ He's not here. Looks like we've been set-up. MATT Ah. LIZ You never came back to Café Connections. MATT I've been making my own Americanos, kind of. LIZ MATT They're terrible. You know, when my parents split up, I kind of got lost in movies because in movies, love is a beautiful, ever-lasting thing, and I didn't want to give up on love like my parents did, so I guess I got caught up in the idea of love and didn't pay attention to who I was in love with. LIZ I'm glad you realized that. And you actually taught me a thing or two, believe it or not. MATT Oh, yeah? LIZ After Ben dumped me, I convinced myself that love was concrete and practical, like biology and chemistry, but really, I was just scared of getting hurt again. MATT So you're saying you believe in love now? LIZ In so many words. MATT Well, for what it's worth, you were right. I do love being in love. But only if it's with you. You once asked me why I loved Alexis, and I didn't know why, but I know exactly why I love you. I love how you approach every situation like it's some big science experiment, and I love that we can have fun in any wacky situations, whether it's speed-dating or getting down on the dance floor. And I love that you look beautiful, even when you're sick. And I love that you get my jokes and you aren't afraid to give me a hard time, and I love that when I spend a day with you, I feel more excited and invigorated about life than I did the day before. I know you're not a hopeless romantic. I miss you. LIZ I miss you too. LIZ So which rom-com are you gonna force me to watch tonight? MATT I don't know. A buddy comedy. LIZ Deal. ADAM Hey. So our first reunion's officially over. I don't know about you guys, but my night led to this. MATT Ohh. KRISTA Oh, it's beautiful. LIZ Congratulations. EDDIE Nice work. FRANK Can I have your attention, please? Before we begin the festivities, I just wanted to say a few words. I started helping my dad here after school, and I'd watch him, and he wasn't just selling videos. He was helping people discover themselves through story, the movies that you watch. It makes me happy knowing that I can do something to help others, especially for you. Thank you. SYLVIA Excuse me. Hi. Uh, so sorry to interrupt. I just bought the empty space next door. I'm Sylvia. FRANK I'm-I'm Frank. Uh, I'm sorry. Do you need some help? SYLVIA Um, well, yes. Uh, that would be great. I actually have more boxes in the truck. You know, I was told that this was the perfect location for my store. That there's been a revival, thanks to you. FRANK Cds. SYLVIA Yes. I sell Cds, cassette tapes, and records. It's old school, but there's something sentimental about the past. Don't you think? FRANK I do. SYLVIA FRANK Well, come on, gang. Let's get to work. LIZ Hi. MATT Hi. LIZ This is just like the perfect ending in one of your movies. MATT Maybe it's just the beginning. LIZ
