So, um, you know I'm
going back home this weekend.

- Oh, yeah?
- And I was thinking

that you could--
you could come with.

It's--it's--
it's really nice over there,

and you could meet my parents,
and I don't know, see all the--

Sorry, can I just
ask you a question?

Uh-huh.

Do you--um,

do you think
that I love you?

Oh.

Yeah.

You tell me all the time
that you do,

so I mean, as it were--

Uh, well, y-yeah,

but you know, love,
it's a funny word, isn't it?

It's funny.

I mean, it can mean
so many different things.

Okay, uh, not--
not quite sure what you mean.

- Um...
- Okay. All right.

Um, in the Aegean Sea,
for instance,

uh, they have, like,
five different words for love.

Um, so, like, romantic love
has a different word

than the love you have
to your friend

or the love you have
for great food

or--or good song,
you know.

Um, do you know what I mean?

So, for example,

I absolutely love that snail

that's attached to that coral
over there.

- Okay, yeah.
- Look at it.

I mean, it has such
a beautiful shell.

I--it really ties
this whole place together,

you know, really
makes it feel complete.

Yeah.

And I mean,
you can even love something

as simple as a joke

or a funny thing
that's happened

like, um, when me and my
friends went to Meg's hen do.

- Yeah.
- (chuckles)

We built her, like,
this funny hat...

Yeah?

Made out of
a bit of seaweed...

What?

That looked just like
a giant knob.

- No.

(both laughing)

It was so funny.

We all loved it.

(both laughing)

I'm--I'm still a bit confused.

Yeah.

Do you--do you love me?

Yes.
Yes, I love you.

All right.
Yeah.

Great.

I love you too.

Wait, what?

I've just been too emotional
my entire life.

And there's been one emotion
that's ruled among the rest.

It's--it's been fear.

Yo, my man.

Uh, is this gonna take long?

I--I need to use the buzzer.

Sorry.

Anyway, I don't know.

I don't know, Paige,

I just let fear
totally rule my life.

Because I was scared of
getting the thing I want,

because if you have the thing
you want, then--

then you can
lose the thing you want.

And that--that's why
I put myself in these positions

where I was just told
"no, no, no," all the time.

That's why I'd always--
always pressure you

to, like, move in with me.

And then when you finally
agreed to move in with me,

I said no because I was scared,
but I'm done--

I am done letting fear
hijack my life.

I love you.

I love you, Paige Turner.

And I don't want to lose you.

- Wonderful times


we had together like--

I got you that
astronaut ice cream.

And then that time you had
that rumbly tummy and then--

My man!

My phone is dead, dog.

I just need to use the buzzer.

Shut the f*ck up!

Please!

I'm in a groove!

I'm so sorry about that.

I don't--I didn't mean to--

I'm just trying to come to
terms with this whole thing,

and I know I don't deserve you,

but I really love you a lot,
so maybe open the door, we--

- Oh.

Jerome?

Hey.

I thought that was you.

What do you mean?
Of course it's me.

Well, um, the

intercom's down, so--

I just gave you
the whole speech.

You didn't hear
any of it?

A whole what?

I can't hear
what you're saying.

Yeah, I--
I think he might be

losing his voice.
He was

talking to that thing
for a very long time.

Then he started
screaming at me pretty hard.

What did he say?

"Dude, shut the f*ck up!

- I'm in a groove."
- No, what did he say to me?

Oh, well, basically he's got
a lot of emotional problems.

I mean, he's very scared
of a lot of sh*t,

not like real scary sh*t
like spiders

and clowns and snakes
and sh*t, but like, man fear,

like, of feelings and dating.

And stuff like that.

He used to think
that he wanted that sh*t,

but then he found out
that he was scared.

But because he realized
he was scared,

he's not scared anymore.

And it actually makes sense
when you think about it.

Oh, and he said repeatedly
that he loves you.

Is that right?

(mouths words)

Yeah, um, uh, you think
you could let me in?

It's--it's very cold out here.

I've--

And--and he wants to know

if you still want to
move in together.

Oh, Jerome.

Yes.

(laughs)

But first you really
need to see a therapist.

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.
No problem.

For sure.
