Previously on Felicity:

I'm not having that surgery.
I'm not having it, OK?

You're not OK. You're sick.

So, you said we
finished last night.

No, we didn't.

Ben b*at up Randy last night.

They thought he
had a concussion.

Did you hurt... oh!

Don't defend him! Don't
start defending him to me!

There he goes.

Hello? Anyone home?

It's a nice walk
home. Shut that.

Sorry. I'm sorry.
No, you're fine.

Let's go over here.

Are you all right? Yeah.

Let me get your coat. OK.

All right. Yep.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, it's not that bad.

Well, it's worse than I thought.

Oh, thank you, that's nice.

No, I just mean, it looks...
Really bad. Can I do anything?

You can stop saying
how bad it looks. Right.

The Dean and Deluca
thing... Oh, Noel.

Um,

this is probably a huge
inconvenience, but it was your idea,

and I talked to Javier.

He wants me to cover for Ben
at work. Just give me the times.

I appreciate that, man. You
got it. Don't worry about it.

Where you off to?

Some guy's giving a lecture at
graphic arts on... on job... Hello?

Job, uh... Oh. Hi.

Want me to get you
some ice or... No, I'm fine.

Um, yeah, hang on just a second.

Hey, it's, uh, it's your dad.

What? Tell him I'm not
here. I just told him you were.

Well, I'm not.

I'm not. No, no, no.

Um, he's actually in the shower.

Yeah, he... he's all right.

No, it's not serious.

They just wanted to keep him overnight for
observation. What do you mean? He knows?

Oh, you are. Let me just write
down your number. Feel better.

I know his number.
Just hang up on him.

Hey! Hang up!
OK. Right. I got it.

Yeah, I will.

It was nice talking to you, too.

He's in the city.

What?

I guess the hospital
called him last night.

His name's on your insurance, so
they called him and he flew out last night.

Yeah, my mom's in Europe. That's
the only reason he's doing this.

So he can say look
what I did for Ben.

You don't know that. Yeah, I do.

I think you should call him.
I have nothing to say to him.

Here you go. Thanks.

Hey!

Hey! I was just uh...

I was just at a graphics
lecture and I saw you

and I thought, you know, that...

You know, just...

I'm Noel. I fixed your computer.

Oh, right. I'm sorry.

Oh, no. It's all right.

Hey, you weren't at the
lecture, were you? I mean...

At that graphics thing? Oh, I'm not into
that at all. Yeah. Oh. Oh, I understand.

I just use my computer
for e-mail and homework.

Which is good. That's uh...

Hey, do you like sushi?

Oh, my God. Yeah?
You do, 'cause...

I got so sick from a spicy tuna roll a
year ago, I don't even eat rice anymore.

Oh. Yeah, I mean...

That happened to me once, you know,
when I was a kid, but it was... play dough,

which it turns out you're
not supposed to eat anyway.

I got class.

Yeah, class is good. Class is
good. Uh... that's why we're all here.

Yeah. Um... Yeah.

All right, so, I'll see you
later, OK? OK. Bye-bye.

Class is good.

I'm an idiot.

♪ Can you become?
Can you become?

♪ The new version of you

♪ New wallpaper.
New shoe leather

♪ A new way home.
I don't remember

♪ New version of you, I
need a new version of me

New version of you, I
need a new version of me ♪

Oh!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
scare you. No, that's all right.

The door was unlocked. I
knocked, but nobody heard me.

We, we, we leave it
unlocked, but the...

All of the other suites
leave theirs unlocked,

and we should probably
lock it but it seems antisocial...

You are Felicity, right? Yes.

Hi. You're Ben's dad
and I met you, um...

A few summers ago at
the... The cafe, Hoby's, the...

Oh, in Palo Alto, of course.

You know, I'm terrible at putting
names to faces. That's OK.

I hope you don't me
barging in like this.

I called back and spoke to...

Sean, was it? Yes.

Yeah, and he gave me this
address. Ben is not here, though.

I didn't come to see Ben. I actually came
to talk to you, unless this is a bad time.

No. Are you sure? I
could come back later.

No, no. I mean you just
flew 3,000 miles, I'm not...

Yes, come sit
down. Oh, thank you.

This is a terrific apartment.

Yeah, we really lucked out.

It's pretty great.

He wasn't in the shower, was he?

No.

Don't take it personally.

I think... I think Ben's just really kind
of going through something and I...

It's not you.

The ironic part is
that now that I'm...

Going to AA regularly, I finally have
something to say to him that's worth hearing.

That's great, I mean, that
you've been going regularly.

I know that I'll sound like a
cult follower when I say this,

but there is this
amazing program,

Al-anon, it's for
families of alcoholics.

And I... I know it would
really help Ben, that's...

Basically why I came to see you.

I want someone who loves
him to talk to him about it.

You want me to...

I know it's asking a lot,

but if you could get him to realize
that I'm not in New York to say I'm sorry,

or to get him to
return my phone calls,

I'm here...

Because I'm... I'm
worried about him.

Right.

Um...

Sure.

Guess how many Jewish
commandments there are.

I didn't know there were any.

613. You believe that?

Gentiles have it so easy.
Ten, give me a break.

Did you get the
candles? Uh, yeah.

Oh, great.

What are those, uh, for?

Starting today, I'm following
the commandments of God.

Oh, well, that's...
That's good to know.

Yeah. You're Jewish, right?

Morganstern, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

This is Meghan.

Nice to meet you. Hi,
yeah, nice to meet you.

The nurse took this out of the
hospital library for me. Why?

Before I went into surgery, I didn't
tell you this, but I made a pact with God.

I mean, I told him that if
he got me through this,

that I would devote
my life to him.

And, God lived up to his end of the bargain
so, now what am I gonna do? Blow him off?

Oh. Do me a favor.

The Torah says I'm not supposed to operate
electronic gadgets during the Sabbath.

Can you just turn the light off?

Oh, yeah. You mean, the
Torah uses the word gadget?

Can you not blaspheme? Please?

I need a moral compass.

OK, can you bottom-line this?
Because I have a test in three hours.

All right. Jane Scott.

All right? She is this...

This unbelievable woman. She's gorgeous
and smart and interesting and... gorgeous.

OK, you said gorgeous twice.

OK. Bottom line.

I'm getting my
life back on track

and I would love for Jane to be
on that same track with me, but,

here's the problem.

There's uh...

There's no commonality.

Now, here's the complication.

Last week when I was
installing her computer, um...

I happened to see her
e-mail address and password.

Oh, God, Noel. Exactly!
Oh, God, Noel, exactly.

And she told me that
she has some friend,

that they e-mail back and
forth their most intimate secrets.

Kinda like... their diary. Right? So now
I have the key to my dream girl's diary.

Noel, you cannot, under any
circumstances read that girl's e-mail.

I know. Trust me.

Lies ruin everything.

OK, so guess what? Uh-huh.

You know that paper
you helped me with? Yeah.

Not only did I get an "A,"
but... It's gonna be published.

Oh, um, congratulations.

Yeah, congratulations,
Tracy. Thank you, thank you.

But I couldn't have done
it without my baby, here.

Um, I didn't really do anything.
All I did was input the data.

No, you did more than that.

And we're going out
to celebrate that fact.

You, me and Finn.

Finn? Yeah.

He's my partner, I
can't leave him out.

So are we going to, uh, study?
Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Um...

♪ Going...

OK, Noel, don't do it.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Um, don't do what?

Nothing, have fun.

That's great.

Well, I'm glad you like it.

I do. Thank you.

It's from your dad.

What?

Um, well, he, uh...

Came to my apartment
this afternoon.

Why? 'Cause he wants
me to see him? Is that why?

Fine. You know
what? I don't want it. I...

Ben, come on.
What? I don't want it.

I mean, I don't want a gift from that
jerk. He's a jerk. He's worried about you.

That's why he's here.
He wants to help.

I can't believe
he's sucking you in.

I mean, he's charming.
I understand that.

I mean, that's his
gimmick. That's his thing.

Last time he was here, I
thought you guys really connected.

Yeah. Look what happened.

Listen, the last time was
the last time. That's it.

That's it.

I just think you're
being closed-minded.

Because you don't know.

Just this once,
just... one more time.

Just... for me, OK?

♪ If you can't see
through the haze

Hi.

Hey.

Uh, congratulations.
I... I heard.

Thanks, thanks.

Did Tracy talk to you?

About all of us going out?

Uh, yeah, but I can't do
that with the two of you.

Finn, what happened
the other night was wrong

and it... it can't happen again.

I love Tracy. You got a
weird way of showing it.

Why don't the two of you
go. No, I... I had plans anyway.

Hi.

Hi. I was having coffee
across the street and I saw you.

Yeah, come on in.

Oh, thanks.

Um, can I get you something?

To drink? Like a
soda or anything?

Oh, no, I'm fine, thanks.

Did you talk to Ben?

I did, I did. Uh, he loves
the basketball hoop.

He, really, uh...

I've lost him, haven't I?

Yeah.

No. I...

I just think he needs some time.

I knew I shouldn't
have come here.

I talked to my sponsor and he said,
"What's the worst thing that can happen?

Your son refuses to talk to
you, you got nothing to lose."

Boy, was he right. I've...

I don't have anything
to lose because, uh,

I've lost it already.

There's so many...

Things that I'd like to say...

Oh, man, I'm sorry.

No, I...

I'm sorry.

It's... it's OK, I...

Oh. It's OK.

No, it's OK.

Thank you so much.

You're so kind to me.

Thank you.

Um...

Oh, no. No.

I'm so sorry.

I... I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

Great sh*t!

Hey. Hey.

Where you been? I've
been trying to call you.

I... I went for a walk.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, um...

You know, your... your dad
showed up at my apartment again.

He did?

Yeah. He, uh...

He probably, you know,

wanted to find out
if I had talked to you.

You know, I've been thinking about what you
said, about uh... giving him another chance, and,

I think you're right. Oh, yeah?

Well, yeah. I mean, he
flew out here, you know?

I just feel like I've been a bit
tough on him. Do you agree?

Yeah, I mean, you
should probably...

I mean, I think you
should probably try to, um,

patch things up as
much as you can.

Yeah, that's what I want to do.

This is yours. Can I have it?

Yeah. It's cooking wine, though.

I don't care, it's
for the Sabbath.

I didn't know you were Jewish.

I'm not, I'm Wiccan.

Sean is Jewish.

All of a sudden he's
like... Ultra-Jewish.

Hey, you know what? That
once happened to a friend of mine.

She got hit by a car and suddenly
thought she was the Virgin Mary.

I don't know what
half this stuff is.

Do you know what this is?

Oh, no, I can't
even pronounce that.

I didn't know Kit
Kats were kosher.

No, those are for me.

Hey. Hey, Tracy.

Please, tell me you didn't get
through chapter 16. It was too thick.

Hey, Professor McGrath was
busted for sexual harassment.

Get out of here. McGrath?

Look, man, he wasn't
busted, just a complaint.

Nothing's been
confirmed. Give me that.

I wonder who would want to get
down with the prince of darkness?

Look, there's a whole
list of interested honeys.

I mean, just check that out.

Hey, uh, by the way, can't
make it to dinner tonight.

You know, I've got...
moot court. That's cool.

A guy I know, from Delta Gamma,

is on the Student
Disciplinary Committee.

He Xeroxed that himself.

Elena's on this list.

You know one of those girls?

Look, Tracy, man, you
know, I'm sure this isn't for real.

No, dude, I'm telling you,

it's legit.

What you did was so bad!

Yeah, I know, I'm a vile
person. Wait. Look at these.

I am not reading
that girl's e-mail.

It's incredible, they're like...
they're like an instruction manual.

Noel! She's a person. People
don't come with instructions.

Well, these have all her likes,
her dislikes. What poems she likes,

uh, what movies she's seen. Oh!

Guess what book
she just read? What?

Raise High the Roof
Beam, Carpenters...

I don't really want to
hear. And Seymour.

Noel, you cannot do this.
Indian's her favorite cuisine,

she likes Macy Gray,
she doesn't opera,

she's Catholic, she has
a friend named Tricky

who she met at summer camp
who she thinks of as a brother,

and she goes to yoga at the rec
center and takes it from a guy named Jim.

His next class is today at four. You know,
you're not getting away with this, right?

Is yoga hard?

Sorry, sorry.

Hey. Noel.

This is funny. You...
you take yoga too?

Yeah. At least three times
a week. Keeps me balanced.

Yeah, I know. I mean between...

Between classes and
all the computer stuff,

I just feel like it keeps
me conscious, you know?

Really? Yeah.

I say that all the time. Really?

Yeah. Huh.

OK, this is weird. What?

That book.

Oh, have you read this?

Wow.

I know.

Huh.

Hey, you know if... if you're
busy, I understand, but um...

Do you like Indian food?

Indian food?

Yeah.

They're out of kasha,
but, wine. Mmm.

And, oh... Kit Kat.

Which is actually kosher,
did you know that? No, I didn't.

And, uh, you've certainly done
your mitzvah for the day, thank you.

Don't thank me, just pay me
back for what this stuff costs.

It was 160 bucks.
You're kidding.

God is not a cheap
date. 160 bucks.

That's a lot. I know.

Oh, and, that's including
the ten percent discount I got

for telling the guy
at the Judaica store

that I was converting
to Judaism.

You're what?

No, it was... a lie.

Oh.

But would you, I mean,
would you ever? Convert? No.

Maybe? Sean, I'm not converting
just because you lost a nut.

OK, well, um, then... thanks...

For getting all this stuff for me and
for all the help for the last few weeks.

Why are you talking so weird?

'Cause we have to break up.

What?

It can't work between us.

Me, a deeply religious Jew
and you, a practicing witch.

Are they giving you painkillers? I want
my kids to be Jewish, not Jew-witch.

This is a real problem we're
going to have to face eventually.

Is this for real?

Yes.

Hey. Hey.

Um, so is it true?

Tracy, I'm, I'm, I'm so sorry. What
do you want me to say to that, Elena?

I know it was awful. It was
wrong. I mean, McGrath?

What?

How come you didn't tell me about
him? That was two years ago, I mean...

How do you even know? What did
he... what did... Because there's a list.

A long list of girls that his
assistant said he's been with.

And the man's in a
lot of trouble and...

Look, I know it was a long time ago
and it was before you and I ever met,

so it's not like you're cheating on
me, but we have talked about McGrath.

We went to a lecture he
gave, Elena. I know, I'm...

It just doesn't feel right, you not telling
me. I thought we told each other everything.

I'm really sorry.
Tracy, I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna take
this too serious.

You know?

Yeah.

I mean, it just freaks
me out, you know?

McGrath?

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but
now that he's on his way, I don't really

know why I invited him over.

Because you want to
give him another chance.

Yeah.

All right.

It's on. How's that working?

It feels OK. OK.

Hey, it's gonna
be fine, OK? Yeah.

I bet he forgot
the food, though.

Hi. Hi.

I brought Chinese.

Um, I'll take it.

I can handle it.

No. Don't get up.

Oh, boy. Look at you.

Yeah, uh, it's not so bad.
I look worse than I feel.

I wish I could say the same.

Thanks for the net.

Well, thank you for
letting me stop by.

Well, you should thank Felicity.

I know. She's my liaison to
whom I'm greatly indebted.

The wily veteran

moves to the frontcourt.
He fakes to the left.

He moves to the
right. He sh**t!

Heartbreaker off the rim. Ball
goes to Covington. He looks left.

He-he-he... Dad.

We're boring Felicity.

No. You guys keep
playing. I'm fine.

Ben's right. I am
a terrible guest.

Wait, where are you going?

To get a pain
pill... I can do that.

I gotta go to the
bathroom anyway.

You play for me.

Look, about what happened...

I-I...

I just don't know
what came over me.

We don't have to talk about it.

You have to know that

I have never ever done
anything like that in my entire life.

Even when I was drinking.

It's just that this past year,

I've lost my business, my wife,

the respect of
everyone around me.

I don't know. I just...

I felt so alone.

But talking to you
I felt so hopeful.

This is really
uncomfortable for me.

I understand.

And thank you.

It's obvious that

you haven't told Ben anything
and I really appreciate that.

That means a lot...

Hey.

What's the score?

You're up by four points.
Your girlfriend there

made two unbelievable
bank sh*ts. Oh, yeah?

Well, she's the
best. Yes, she is.

Hey, can I talk to
you for a second?

I got kind of a huge problem.

Yeah. What's wrong?

Um... What's going on?

Well, I got these
tickets to see a play.

You said you
wanted to see a play.

It's tonight. It's called
"The Dinner Party."

We can't go tonight.

I know.

That's the problem.

I was wondering if you
and my dad would go.

Without you?

Yeah, I just...

I want him to get out
there, see some things.

Um...

Yeah, I just, I
mean, he doesn't...

he doesn't even
really know me and,

I mean don't...
Don't you want to, uh,

spend time alone with
him and... Yeah, I do.

And I will, I just, I mean,

these tickets were like
80 bucks and I can't...

I can't really afford
to throw them away.

So, I know it's a huge inconvenience,
but could you please do it for me?

Please?

Uh... Please?

Yeah. Uh, I mean,
of course I will.

Thank you.

Here. Take this back.

Oh, I told you this was
horrible. You know what he did?

He broke up with me. What?

Yeah.

I gave him a tzitzit.

And he breaks up with
me because I'm not Jewish?

God, I don't care that
he's not a warlock.

God, I sat by his side, I
held his hand for like weeks.

I was vulnerable, and whatever.

And you don't know me very
well, but I never do things like that.


No, I kind of gathered that.

Give me that.

This is why I hate
relationships. Oh!

Well, here's the part
I wanted you to hear.

"You know what my
favorite thing would be?

"If a guy could come out and say
what he's really thinking for once.

Like, 'This food's really good, but I'd
rather be at home making love to you.'"

You think I've become a monster.

I cheated on Tracy. What?

With Finn.

Finn?

Elena! The boring little
Tom-Cruise-wannabe-Finn, Finn?

Ah!

When... when did this happen?

A few days ago.

Who have you told?

You.

All right.

What are you doing?

Let's make a deal.

I'll tell Jane the truth,
and you tell Tracy.

I have a little more
to lose than you do.

We can't just carry these
secrets around anymore, can we?

Deal?

Deal.

Sean.

Huh?

I've been wanting
to say something.

Oh. Was I reading out loud? I
do that sometimes. No, no, no.

I wanted to say, I'm
not just Mr. Morganstern.

I'm Rabbi Morganstern.

What?

I'd like to ask you a question.

What happens if you relapse?

Oh, God forbid,

you get a different
type of cancer.

What happens with your
relationship to God then?

Then...

Well... I would... I mean-

This girl you broke up with,
with the hair, the gentile...

Do you love her?

Meghan?

Yeah.

Then propose to her.

You're a real rabbi?

Sean, life is serious.
You can't waste it

on things that aren't
that important to you.

Don't throw yourself into
some crash diet with God.

That won't last.

God's not a fad.

He's a way of life.

Hey. Hey.

Thanks for coming over.

My hand was on the
phone when you called.

OK, um...

You want to sit down?

OK. Thank you.

Before I say what I want to say,

I just want you to know that

being your girlfriend
this last year

has been the most wonderful and
incredible experience... OK. OK.

OK, hold it. Hold it.

I want to read you something
before you steal my thunder.

I have something really important I
need to tell you. I know. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Baby, we're gonna
get to that part, listen.

You need to hear
what I have to say.

It's taken all of
physics lab to write this,

and you are going to listen.
We will get to that soon.

Elena,

"E" is for everything
you do so well.

"L" is for your long,
luscious legs and locks.

"E" is for every time my heart
flutters when you walk into a room.

"N" is for never
wanting to be apart.

"A" is for always and forever.

This is what you mean to me.

And this is how
it will always be.

My love for you
is so, so strong.

Right here is where I belong.

Not bad for a
bio-chem major, huh?

No one's ever written
me a poem before.

So, what did you
want to tell me?

Nothing.

Just that I love you.

Aw.

I love you too, baby.

And I want you to know it.

Mmm.

So, what I want now is to
get a job at one of those sites,

doing some graphics work.
Just something to get in the door.

Really? Yeah.

Thanks. I'd love to see
what kind of work you do.

Yeah? Mm-hmm.

but it's really hard
getting the fluid motion.

You know, I keep basing my work on
Polobolis, they make it look so easy.

Wait. You know Polobolis?

What? The most inventive
dance troupe out there?

Yeah, I mean, what they do with
motion is beyond anything I've ever seen.

I was just telling my
friend exactly that!

I swear.

Wow. OK, what's your
favorite production?

Oh, God.

Uh, there are so many.

My favorite production...

I don't even know where to...

You know what?
Before, Jane, before...

Before we talk any more
about Polobolis, um...

There's something
that you need to know.

What?

The truth.

About what?

This food is... is great and everything,
but you know what I'd rather be doing?

I'd rather be
making love to you.

This is actually really
hard with one hand.

Listen, um...

I don't think I'm gonna
be able to go tonight.

What do you mean?

Why not?

I... I feel like I may be
getting the flu or something.

You're supposed to meet my
dad in like ten minutes. I know.

I'm so sorry
about this, I just...

I'm really like...

Hey. What... what's
wrong? Nothing.

You know, I don't want to
talk about it. Wait a second.

What do you mean?
Hey, what's going on?

What is it? Is he
drinking again? No.

Then tell me what's going on.
You gotta tell me, it's my dad.

He just makes me uncomfortable.

Did he do something to you?

No. Hey.

Did he do something to you?

Wait a second. What?
Ben, no, what are you doing?

I'm gonna go see him.
No, Ben, wait a second.

Ben, please.

Ben!

This is a nice surprise, I thought
Felicity was gonna be my...

What did you do to her?
Son, why don't you sit down?

No, she's too uncomfortable to be alone
with you. Answer me. What did you do to her?

It was...

I was just incredibly confused.

You're confused about what?

I was upset.

You refused to see me, so I
went over to her apartment.

Yeah.

To talk about you. And...

It was...

What?

I was so sad, I felt like I
was drowning and she...

She reached out
and... And we hugged.

And what? And what happened?

I kissed her.

But listen to me. I came to New
York because I wanted to help you.

I want to be in your
life. You know what?

I don't want you in my life.

Ben.

He told me what he did.

And I'm really sorry that you
had to go through that. It's OK.

No, it's not OK.

The idea that anyone, especially my
dad, would make you feel like that...

I'm fine. It's... Don't
worry about me.

I just want... I just
want to k*ll him.

I feel like I'm
gonna explode, like,

like I've got kerosene all
over me and at any moment,

something's gonna touch it off.

Listen.

Do you remember
freshman year, Halloween?

When... we were here and
we were carving pumpkins?

That was just at
the first time that...

You had ever told
me about your dad.

And... just how hard it was,

and growing up and
all that, and I really...

I remember really
thinking that I understood.

But I know now that it
goes way deeper than that.

And I don't want you to be mad at me.
Please don't be mad at me for doing this.

But there are these...

You know, these... these groups for
people... No, no, I don't need a group.

All right? I don't. I don't need
a group. I need a new dad.

But that's not gonna happen.

I mean, just...

Have... have you ever heard
of this thing called Al-Anon?

I'm not the one that needs
help, OK? He needs help.

I don't care about
him, I care about you.

Then stop treating me like I'm the
one that's messed up. You're not.

You said like, you
want to k*ll him.

And you feel like you want to explode,
I don't want you to have to feel like that.

I'm not gonna go to a group.
I'm not gonna go to a group.

It's open.

You should go.

OK?

I came to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

So, that's it?

What is it you want from me?

Your forgiveness.

I can't give you that right now.

I love you.

Hey, I need to talk to you.

Oh, great. It's the
bar mitzvah boy.

What are you doing?

Meghan,

will you marry me?

What?

I'm asking you to marry me.

You just broke up with me.

I know. Let's get back together.

I'm not Jewish.

That's not important.

Being with you is important.

Come on, what do you say?

I say you owe me an apology.

OK, yeah, I'm sorry.

Oh my God, do you even know what you're
apologizing for? For breaking up with you.

For breaking up with me
because I'm not Jewish!

It's like anti anti-Semitic.

OK, I'm... I really am
sorry about that, I'm sorry.

Be my wife.

No! You're crazy. I... I... Yes, I
will get back together with you.

There is not a chance
I will marry you.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

What?

This... it wasn't even my idea.

You remember that old
guy that was next to me?

Morganstern? Yeah.

It turns out he was a rabbi.

Which...

And he told me that
if I cared about you,

that I should propose to
you, not break up with you.

Oh.

Well, um...

What about the...
This Judaism thing?

I don't know. I... I...

I think I just, I need
a little more time.

You know, to

find out if it's really
something that's...

That's important to me.

If that's OK with you.

Of course.

You're so weird.

Take it easy. Hey, hey, Finn.

Hey, what's up, man?

Elena told me about the affair.

Uh...

Wow, man, I, uh... I
don't know what to say.

Except, uh, you know...

I'm sorry.

She and I talked about it and...

I'm cool with it now, you know?

That's... wow.

That's, uh... I mean, I...

I don't think I could be that
understanding. I love her.

Yeah, man, you know and she
loves you too. I mean, she told me.

You know, and just... just so
you know, it wasn't an affair.

She and I, we were
only together one time.

What?

Hey.

Uh, hi. Hi.

Uh, is this a coincidence?

No. The guy at the computer
center told me I could find you here.

Yeah.

Uh, you... you want some
coffee? Or uh... Um, no.

I want to apologize.

No, listen, it's me
that should apologize.

What I said the other day...
No, no, no, no. It was me.

I e-mailed my
friend in Baltimore

and I told her everything
that happened last night.

And she reminded me that
just a couple of weeks ago,

I wrote her and I said that I
wanted a guy to just be honest

and to say almost exactly
what you said last night.

No lying, no pretending,

just real, you know? And...

I was a really big hypocrite.

And I'd like another chance.
Yeah, of course. I mean...

All right, but don't go thinking we're about
to jump into bed or anything like that.

This is just a let's get to know
each other type of thing. Absolutely.

Absolutely. OK.

Things that I cannot change,

the courage to
change the things I can,

and the wisdom to
know the difference.

So, good news.

I finally found out who's been changing
the chairs into rows every week...

The cocaine anonymous group.

They meet here on Thursdays,
and they love the rows.

No surprises.

Um, so any first timers?

What's your name?

Um, Ben.

Hi, Ben. Hi.

Welcome.
