01x16 - The Fugue

[bunniefuu]

Woman: this may be

The most important
test you will ever take.

It has been specifically
designed to illuminate, if you will,

Those strengths and weaknesses which directly
impact your professional qualifications.

Answer the questions
honestly and forthrightly.

Any attempt to communicate with
others will be viewed as a serious...

Excuse me. Abby?

Yes, felicity?

You probably know
this... I'm sure you do...

But our old manager, javier, actually
did employee evaluations on all of us.

You're right.

I do know that.

But remarks like, "a
real cutie patootie"

And "when he makes a
moccachino, I get all tingly"

Were hard to quantify.

Woman: excuse me?
Are you guys open?

We open at 8:00.

Oh. Do you have a phone?

I'm sorry. The phone
is for customers only.

Hannah.

Hi.

Hi.

You work here.

Uh... Excuse me?

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to use the phone.

In new york, I mean.

I moved here.

I'm going to the conservatory.

Wow. Uh... So, does noel know?

No. It's... I've just
been getting settled.

It's been crazy.

How's he doing?

Um, he's doing great, actually.

I'm glad.

We're doing great.

[Rock music plays]

[Indistinct conversations]

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I know.

You've wanted to meet him
since, you know, forever.

[Whispering] so, guess
who's living in new york?

[Whispering] it's hannah.

Yeah. Well, I actually
know a guy who lives on 19th.

Right, but a little... A
little closer to town.

Yeah, right. I know,
a "chelsea morning."

Okay. Well, yeah. No, that sounds
great. We'll see you tonight.

She's coming?

Okay, bye.

Okay, so, uh, the girl who I
went out with for two years,

Who I haven't seen
since thanksgiving,

Has been secretly living five
minutes away for the past two months?

Is she actually coming
tonight? Oh, she's coming.

Because I didn't
really invite her.

I mean, I mentioned that a
group of us might be going out.

I was just overcompensating.

It was a nervous reaction to
prove to her that, you know,

I had no problem
with her being here.

But you do have a problem?

Should I have a problem?

Do you?

Should i? Because you're
acting kind of nervous.

Well, I mean, you and me and
her living in the same city...

Is that not weird?

Is it weird?

[Siren wailing in distance]

No. No, it's not weird.

It's... Surprising,
but it's not weird.

Hmm.

I'm serious.

He's gonna say mine
needs a lot of work.

Did you hand yours in?

Uh, I was gonna stop by
his office tonight, but...

Oh, yeah, that's right.

You're hanging out with
your best friend hannah.

Look, hannah is fine.
She's fine with me.

I'll drop yours off with mine.

Would you?!

Yeah, no problem.

You gotta keep an eye
on your man anyway.

Oh, I'd like to
keep an eye on him.

I met him at... At
the art studio.

I saw him yesterday.

Okay. What's happening?
He's... He's coming over here.

You better introduce me.

I'm elena. Remember that.

Felicity.

Eli.

Elena. That's...

What's up?

Hi. You can sit
down if you want.

Thanks.

[Chair scrapes]

So I thought maybe I'd
see you back at the studio.

Oh, I've been, uh, just
kind of drawing in my room.

Uh, you know, I think you
left some of your sketches.

I did?

I put them in my drawer,

If you want to
come and get them.

It just says "eli" on it.

They're in there.

Oh, thanks. Yeah,
um, I'll stop by, then.

You should.

I will.

Okay.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Damn! You better go
pick up those sketches.

That was nice.

Thanks.

Yeah. It was pretty and... Sad.

You know, sad and
pretty. Am I even close?

Yeah, that's kind of
what I was going for.

[Door opens] it was nice.

Man: so the whole
time, the coach is like,

"Whatever that is, I want it
out of the pool now." [Laughter]

What's going on? You
remember lynn. Hey.

This is wes, callie,
martin. Sean.

Guys. Man: yo, man, this
is an awesome place!

Thank you.

Wes.

Wow.

Do you mind?

Nope.

Okay.

Wow, is this a d-28?

No, it's... It's not a martin.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure. It doesn't
say "martin" on it.

You're really out
of tune here. No!

That's actually... It's
my own tuning... All right.

Or was my own tuning.

[Sighs]

You... You don't mind if these guys
hang around for a little while, do you?

No, I don't mind. Hey!

You guys want to try a new
kind of breakfast cereal?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Taking off?

I was just working on a song.

Oh, hey, well, if you
want, we can leave.

That's fine.

No [laughs] that's okay.

I have, uh, psych in about
an hour, so I'm just gonna go.

All right. Bye, you guys.

All right.

Man: nasty.

Man.

What were you thinking about?

Man #2: yeah, eat that.

[Rock music plays]
hannah: so the guy tells me

To get off at the
stop after 59th street.

He doesn't tell me the
next stop is 125th street.

Thank you very much.

[Laughter]

Anyhow, I have no
idea what train I'm on.

You... You were
probably on the "a."

I'm pretty sure it was a local.

No, the local stops
at 66th after 59th.

Actually, it's 72nd, but those 8th
avenue trains are really confusing.

So, I've got this
nightmare exercise.

I'm supposed to be
writing the fugue.

The fugue. I'm not sure
how to respond to that,

Not knowing exactly
what a fugue is.

It's where two
themes are repeated.

You keep bringing in
contrapuntal voices.

Well, uh, you know, anything
with contrapuntal is hard.

I was wondering if you could
listen to what I've got so far.

Maybe help me out [clears
throat] like you used to.

Like I used to, huh?

Mmm.

Sure.

Yeah.

[Car door opens]

[Indistinct conversation]

Thanks.

You're welcome.

[Chuckles softly]

[Tires screeching in distance]

[Footsteps approach]

Thanks.

So, mcgrath didn't say anything.

Mmm. When?

In class.

About what?

My proposal.

And the one time he did look
at me, there was a definite vibe.

It was like, "I read
it and I hated it."

Abby: felicity, can I
have a word with you?

Okay. Watch how she talks
to me. She doesn't look at me.

Okay, I'm watching. Okay, watch.

I am.

[Tires screeching in distance]

Yeah?

Who's that guy
you're talking to?

That's my boyfriend.

Ah.

Okay, well, then,
let's have a talk...

Away from this area.

[Indistinct conversations]

[Jazz music plays]

[Sighs]

I'd really appreciate it if we
could, uh, avoid, whenever possible,

Extended social moments, okay?

It's just something we all
need to be conscious of.

Do you understand that word?

Which word... "Conscious"?

It means "aware." Aware.

No, i-i understand.

Okay. Good.

[Music continues]

Can you believe her?

Did you just see
how rude she was?

Hannah kissed me.

Uh, yesterday, when I got her
a cab, she, uh... She gave me this.

It's a piece she's working on.

She said she needed my help.

And then she grabbed
my head and she kissed me.

[Music and indistinct
conversations continue]

So, why didn't you,
uh, tell me last night?

Because it didn't, uh,
didn't mean anything.

You know, I mean, I didn't
kiss her back. I don't know.

I guess I didn't tell
you because, uh...

It meant nothing.

Uh... Maybe there's another
reason you're telling me.

Maybe you're telling
me because, uh...

You're conflicted, and
you think that by telling me,

It'll squash those feelings
and just kind of put it out there.

No, that's not it.

So... How long was the kiss?

Well, it was, uh...

It was like this,
um... Kind of...

Like that.

That's kind of a long kiss.

Well, it was... It was
shorter than that.

Look, I'm not gonna
see her again.

You know, she's probably just,
you know, lonely, in new york.

But, uh, you know, after
that kiss, I mean, what am i...

What am I supposed to do?

What do you want to do?

Uh... Well, I'm gonna
send this tape back to her

Is what I want to do,

And I'm not gonna see her again.

[Door opens]

What are you talking
about?! Nothing. It's fine!

Well, obviously, it's not fine,
especially when you say, "it's fine."

[Sighs] your swim team
group, your new friends...

I don't think that they like me.

You know what? You're nuts.

Okay? 'Cause they
totally like you.

I don't think
they like her. See?

Can you stay out
of this, please?

When lynn mentioned

That there was
an open-mike night,

And I said that it might be
something that I would like to do,

He just ignored me.

Well, he probably didn't
know you were serious.

It's not that big a deal, dude.

Why are you defending him? I
thought you thought he was a jerk.

Well, it turns
out he's not a jerk.

And I think you're overreacting
a little bit here. She isn't.

What is it? What's your problem?

This is none of your business.

You know what my problem is?

My problem is that of the three of us
here, only one of us owns this place.

And presently, none
of us is paying rent.

Yeah, I said I'd get you a check
this week. I'll get it this week.

You were acting
different last night, too,

Because you never mentioned anything
about the open-mike night, either.

I didn't?

No.

[Sighs] so you had a
horrible time last night?

No, it was just that I was the
girlfriend. It wasn't you and me.

It was you and them
and the girlfriend.

I'm just not used to being
the girlfriend with you,

Which is fine once in a while...

Yeah, but not all the time, ben.

Sean, I got it. I'm
here if you need me.

Listen, I think your performing
is a great idea, all right?

Obviously, you should do it.

I really think so.

Okay. Well, it's tomorrow night.

And I just would like you
to be there just to be there.

Tomorrow night. I
can't wait. I'll be there.

[Siren wailing in distance]

Okay. Okay.

Bye. Bye.

[Footsteps departing]

[Piano music plays]

[Piano music continues]

Hi. Hey.

Is this... Is this a bad time?

No.

Come in.

Can I get you anything?

We have, uh, mango-orange
juice, sparkling water, and cheese.

Would you like a
glass of cheese?

Um... I, uh... I did
some thinking.

You know, some... Some
active, sitting there,

Real... Real thinking and...

I can't help you.

Oh. God, I'm s... I'm
so embarrassed.

That kiss turned everything
all serious, didn't it?

What was that exactly?

A mistake... Clearly.

It was also probably the most
natural thing I've done in months.

[Laughing] isn't that funny?

I shouldn't have done it...

But... But it was you
and me, you know?

And new york at night

And... And we'd always talked
about living here together,

And... And after years of just
kissing you... Thousands of times,

And... I mean, after not
seeing you for months...

[Horn honks in distance]

[Inhales sharply]

I'm so much more
together than this.

I haven't cried once
since I got here.

[Honking continues]

I-i flipped a coin.

That's how I decided
to come here.

Heads was new york. [Laughs]

After thanksgiving, I
went back to chicago,

And I started
dating this guy who...

Turned out not
to be so fantastic.

And I suddenly didn't know
what the hell I was doing.

And I had an acceptance letter
to the new york conservatory,

Which was like a dream...

Except... You were here.

Anyway... I got heads...
[Whispering] so here I am.

But we... We can't just act

Like things are the
same as they were.

I know, noel. You don't
have to lecture me. I got it.

This whole time, I thought you
were in chicago with that guy,

You know, whoever that guy is.

And instead, I was
here the whole time...

Missing you.

[Sighs]

[Piano music plays]

You came.

Hi.

Yeah, i... I just wanted
to pick up those sketches.

They're in here.

[Sketches rustling]

So... H-how's that
painting coming?

The one you were
doing of the old man?

My grandfather.

Yeah, i-it's finished.
You wanna see it?

Sure.

Wow.

It's funny. He's an old man,

But... There's something...

Unbreakable about him.

Yeah, that's what he was like.

He was a longshoreman.

He was a pretty rugged guy.

Unbreakable.

[Laughs softly]

You know, you're really
smart about this stuff.

No, I mean, it's obviously a
really good painting, so...

No, I mean your work.

Oh.

So, you looked at my sketches?

Is that okay?

Sure. That's fine.

I really liked them.

I'd love to talk to
you about it sometime.

Yeah... Sometime.

But probably not right now.

Whenever.

I'm kind of busy right now.
I've got a lot of... You know...

You should keep at this, though.

Thanks. [Laughs]

I'll... I'll see you around.

[Siren wailing in distance]

[Chuckles]

[Piano music plays]

[Knock on door]

Hey! So, julie's gonna
play that open-mike thing.

[Piano music stops]

What are you doing?

Uh, nothing.

It's just... Um...
Hannah's tape.

I thought you were
gonna give that back.

Well, i-i went to see her.

I mean, you know, to give
her... Give her back the tape,

But, uh, you know.

Oh. Yeah.

I mean, nothing happened,
you know. We just talked.

First of all, I mean, I wouldn't
ever assume that anything happened.

And, secondly, don't
underestimate talking.

Those are pictures of her?

Felicity, uh...

I'm just... Thinking
about things, you know.

I'm... I'm a little confused.

Confused about what?

And why are you using my name when
you talk to me? You never do that.

Uh... Please.

Don't make me feel guilty
about going to see hannah.

Okay? I'm just trying
to figure this out.

I'm sorry. I'm... I
mean, I swear to god,

I don't want to make
you feel guilty about...

But now I just apologized for
you going to see your ex-girlfriend,

Who just kissed you, so...

Um... Uh... So you...

You still love hannah? I mean, is
that what you're trying to figure out?

Of course I still love hannah.

I mean, we went
out for a long time.

No, I don't mean

Have feelings for
her or care about her.

What I mean is... Um...

Do you still love hannah?

[Indistinct conversation]

No.

[Silverware clanking]

[Indistinct conversations]

So, I'll see you tonight.

Yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

You have practice, so go.

Don't worry about
it. What's going on?

It's hannah.

Um... Noel's confused, so...

Oh.

Yeah, well, he's a guy. I
mean, guys are confused.

That's it.

Things are gonna work
out, I'm... I'm sure of it.

Why are you so sure of it?

Because, I mean, think about it.

Noel would never choose
to be with somebody else

When he could be with you.

Thank you.

Okay.

[Applause]

[Man whistles]

Our next guest, actually,
need not be introduced,

But I'm gonna do it anyway.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
mr. Bernie clavin,

The howling bard

Okay, I don't...

I don't want to assume anything,

So I'm just gonna come right out

And ask you what's going on.

Hannah came to see

So you're gonna go... Help her?

Fine. Go.

Oh, god. I don't know what
else to do. She's desperate.

You know, if you're gonna start defending

This isn't about her music

Or about helping her

This is about
you... You and her.

Don't turn this on me. I'm not

You know, you're

God, you don't just stop
feeling things for someone

Because you start feeling
them for someone else.

Well, obviously, it was a
really deep relationship.

Yes, it was.

Deeper than I could
ever possibly understand

Since you and I never
really slept together.

That has nothing to do with it.

And thank god I never
did sleep with you

And give that much of myself to
someone who's so uncertain about me.

[Horn honks in distance]

Okay.

I thought it was
over between us...

And maybe it is...

But I don't know.

And that's the honest truth.

Are you... I mean, you're not...

Are you breaking up with me?

I know that I can't
ask you to wait for me

While... While I'm with hannah.

[Sighs]

Wait for me to make up my mind.

You've already
made up your mind.

If I wouldn't have walked in here
and found you, you'd be gone already.

Felicity.

Can you please just
leave my room? Oh, my god.

I'm sorry.

[Tape recorder clicks]

[Rain pouring]

[Knock on door]

Oh. Hey.

Sorry.

Is this a bad time?

Um... No.

I... I was just, uh... No.

I'll go.

No, wait. Uh, what did you want?

I mean, let me start over.

[Laughs]

Hi.

Hi. I... I just had a
stupid thought.

I, um...

I made some sketches.

They're kind of cool. I thought
maybe you'd like to see them.

They're at the studio.

I feel like I interrupted you.

No.

Oh. Good.

And i-i'd love to
see the sketches.

Let me, uh... Just get my coat.

[Keys jingle]

Okay, first, a preamble.
These are just rough sketches.

You don't have to apologize.

Hi, guys. Hey.

Well, i-i sort of do.

I've only ever seen you a few
times, so these are just from memory.

Wait. So, these
sketches are of me?

Yeah.

I usually have at least a
photograph, you know, for reference.

Wow. This is so strange...

Looking at pictures of yourself.

[Thunder rumbling]

Is that a "thumbs down"? No.

I... I've never really had
anyone draw me before,

So...

I mean, they're really good.

You know, you're here.

It's nice and quiet.

Would you sit for me and
let me draw you for real?

Oh! I-i think I'd be way
too self-conscious.

What are you talking about?

There's only one other person
to be embarrassed in front of,

Besides me.

I don't know.

[Laughing]

[Thunder continues]

[Music plays]

It's like a brick wall.

I-i get to the coda,

And there's no inspiration left.

No. It's like... It's
like "baby teeth."

You know? That piece
you wrote last year?

It sounds derivative?

No. I mean, you had the same
problem. I don't remember.

Yeah. Remember, you
wanted something different,

Like a tempo change or a key
change, but, of course, um...

I saved the day with a
brilliant symphonic idea.

Which was what?

Um, well, my humble
layman's advice

Was to go back to
what you already had.

Is that what you
think I should do here?

Go back to the intro?

That might be nice.

[Felicity giggling]

What?

I... This is just really silly.

No, it isn't.

You've painted people
before, haven't you?

Uh, a couple times in a
summer-school art class,

But... I... I never knew how
a model could be a model

Without being self-conscious.

[Laughs]

There was one woman, an old
woman, and she kept so still.

It was remarkable.

I-i mean, it was
like she was dead,

And... And I was supposed
to be drawing her,

But she wasn't blinking.

And so I just kept watching her,

Hoping to see her clothes move or
something to show that she was breathing.

Woman: see ya!

You got the keys?

I... I didn't bring 'em.

All right, I'll lock up. Just make
sure you close the door behind you.

Cool, thanks.

So, what happened to the lady?

Who?

The dead model.

Oh.

She wasn't dead.

She, um... Turns out she was
just really good. [Laughs]

Um...

I'll be right back.

[Piano music plays]

[Thunder crashes]

[Clanking]

So, get comfy.

Is this lame? I mean, I
don't know what you want.

Do you mind?

Oh, no... It's...

[Sighs]

You know what? Um... Will you
excuse me for just a minute?

Yeah, sure.

[Dialing]

[Telephone ringing]

[Ringing continues]

Hi, it's noel. I'm sitting right next to
my phone right now, screening this call.

[Piano music plays]

[Rain pouring]

[Music stops]

[Siren wailing in distance]

Eli: are you sure you're
comfortable like that?

Yeah. Here.

Let me just...

Just...

[Thunder rumbles]

That better?

[Thunder rumbling]

What?

We can't... We can't do this.

What do you mean?

[Sighs]

You can... You
could just stay here.

We don't have to do anything.

I know. I know, but I
shouldn't... I shouldn't be here.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Do you want to stop?

[Rain continues]
