01x19 - Docuventary

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "felicity"...

He sinks it... Yes, baby! Oh!

Your friend just made two g's.

What's the deal with that?

There's no deal. You
want some, you got some.

All right, I'll put 100
bucks down on chicago.

You're quitting?
I'm moving, too.

You can't leave. You're the r.a.

Look, I don't know what we
are or what we're gonna be

Or... What we were,
even what we want.

If you leave, we probably
won't resolve it at all.

Sean: okay, go... Go ahead.

[Sighs] what do
you want me to say?

Just talk about college.

All right, but talk
what about college?

I mean, there's, like, a
million things to talk about.

I mean, what do
you want me to say?

Just... You know what?

You can talk about
anything in college,

Like... Um... Talk about
cute girls in college.

Just to start talking.

This is stupid. I can't do this!

No, ben! Ben! I gotta go, man.

I got a letter from the financial aid office,
I gotta go by there. I gotta talk to...

No, you know what? You said you
would participate in my documentary.

Okay, what's the point of this documentary?
What's it about? Just tell me what it's...

Oh, just... Just sit down.
You said you'd help.

Sean, I really don't want to do
this... Sit down and talk to you.

Oh, come on. Please.

You know what? If you just sit down,
you don't have to pay me rent next month.

Are you serious?

I-i really, really would... Would
like your help with this, please.

[Footsteps approach]

Great. Okay. All right.

All right, thanks.

And don't rock like that.

I'm not... I wasn't
doing anything.

Okay, all right, okay, we're
gonna cut all that part out.

Here we go.

[Sighs]

Okay, start talking.

I still want to know what
this is supposed to be about,

I mean, besides you selling it
and making money. I just want...

It's a documentary, okay?

It's just about the
people that I interview.

It's simple. There's no
script. There's no story.

It's just... It's about the
people... People in college.

Yeah, but how do you even
know how to make a documentary?

You know what? You're the one
who's supposed to be talking right now,

So just... Start talking.
Hey, talk about college.

Yeah, i... What's it
like in college, ben?

Yeah, I just... I don't think

You know how to
make a documentary.

Well, neither did the guy who
made the one about his father

In the steel mill, right,
which, you may have read.

He sold it for half a million
dollars plus first-dollar gross.

I don't know what that means.

It means this is gonna be a
totally professional movie.

Fine.

Okay, now, just
start talking, please.

[Sighs]

[Mechanical whirring]

What's that sound?

I don't know.

It sounds like the camera, sean.

No, I j... I just got
this thing perfect.

[Voice distorting] I think you
need a new camera. Look at it.

No, it's... You know
what? It's fine.

No, look, sean, there's smoke
coming out of your camera.

I think you need a new camera.
Your camera's about broken. Oh, god!

Look, but I sat down though,
right? That was the deal.

So I don't have to pay
you rent next month.

[Tape recorder clicks]

Dear sally, sorry I didn't
send a tape last week.

Homework's been kinda crazy.

But I knew it would be because
monday there was lasagna.

I told you my theory, right...

That, for some reason, the
patterns of my class workload

Are directly related to the
cafeteria menu on mondays?

Okay, it sounds ridiculous, but when
there's a pasta special on monday,

I know that that
week's gonna be hell.

So, noel decided not to move,

But still... We
haven't really talked.

He lives right down the
hall, and we haven't talked.

Between you
and me... I miss him.

I'd probably miss him even more
if I didn't have so much work.

That mcgrath seminar
has been especially tough.

Elena: he doesn't hate you.

I didn't say he hates me.

I said he acts like he hates me.

Mcgrath acts like
he hates everyone.

Yeah, except you.
That's not true.

Oh, it is absolutely true.

Mcgrath calls everyone
by their last name.

Miss porter, miss
debrand, miss cassidy,

But you... You're elena.

You're mad?

If it weren't for what
happened with dr. Garibay,

I would definitely be mad.

But I'm not gonna
take it personally.

You take everything personally.

Yes!

Mail-order bride?

Two tickets to "late night."

The conan o'brien show?

Yeah, I sent away
for these last year.

I assumed they
never got my letter.

Last year?

Yeah, but how genius is that,

'Cause now it's this year,
and I got two tickets,

And you know what that means?

Yeah, you're gonna be rejected
by a whole series of girls.

Exactly.

[Both laugh]

[Salsa music plays]

Sean: kelvin hall.

That's the dorm... Kelvin hall.

Let's go inside
and see what's up.

The best part about college would
have to be the friends that you make

'Cause you make amazing
friends in college.

Your first day, you feel like
you are never gonna meet anyone.

And then all of a sudden,
months have gone by,

And you have all
these amazing friends.

And you're sitting in
front of this weird guy

Making a documentary about them.

Okay, uh, could you just... If you could
leave me out of your answers. [Knock on door]

Come in.

[Music stops] hey.

Hey. Hey.

Hi. Uh, dorm meeting
tonight. Okay.

So I see you've
finally succumbed

To the insipid world
of p*rn.

[Giggles] no, I'm making
a, uh, a documentary.

No, I read about this guy.

He made a documentary,
sold it for tons of money,

And I realized, "hey, I'm
sitting on a gold mine," right?

Documentary about
college students... Come on.

Yeah, well, what about
college students?

You know, the whole experience.

You know, just kids
venting about college.

Huh. You should call
it a "docuventary."

Hey, you want to do a little
docuventary graphic for me?

I mean, I'm gonna sell this
baby. Be great exposure for you.

Really? Yeah, I'll
come by when I'm done.

Yeah, okay. Cool.

Okay, um, do you know
where, uh, where felicity is?

Yeah, she went uptown with
elena, and then she has her seminar.

Okay, thanks. And
I'll see you later.

Yeah. Great.

[Door closes] noel's so nice.

Yeah, generally.

What do you mean, uh... What
do you mean, "generally"?

Oh, that's just the flip
side of making friends.

You know, uh,
hold it one second.

Let me just... Okay, uh...

Action. Whatever. Talk.

No, it's just that... You
know, you make these friends.

And then one day
you kiss one of them.

Or... Somebody you used to date

Before you even met
any of them comes back.

It's just... It's
just complicated

Having great friends.

So, for you, what's it
like being in college?

It's the greatest.

Oh, yeah, I mean, you
know, being away,

Having just one
roommate... Unbelievable.

I come from a... A
big family, so... 7 Kids.

Wow.

Yeah. I was number 4.

Right smack in the middle,

"Which is great," he says
sarcastically. [Chuckles]

Lynn: the possibilities
a-a-are endless, you know.

I mean, there's no... There's
no... No boundaries, you know?

There's no... No...
No limitations.

I mean, you want to
study brain surgery,

Hey, you know, go ahead.

You w... You want to
study... Cosmetology,

Have a nice day, you
know. Go with god.

[Salsa music playing,
papers rustling]

We didn't receive your
final tuition payment.

You didn't?

We contacted your parents.

[Chuckles softly]
and what did they say?

Your father said that
we should talk to you.

Yeah, he's, uh, he's trying to
teach me a lesson or something.

I don't know what, exactly.

I guess when I'm,
like, 35 or something,

I'm... I'm gonna look
back on this and go,

"Now, that was a great lesson."

But, uh...[Sighs] I don't know,

I'm doubtful for some reason.

You could take out loans...

Or apply for financial aid.

Yeah.

But... Until you do...

You still have an
outstanding loan of $3,200.

Yeah, that is an
outstanding loan.

[Chuckles softly]

[Sighs]

[Elevator dings]

[Indistinct conversations]

I can't even believe we're
talking about the final project.

I know, it happened so fast.

It's crazy. Hey.

I got your message.
You're right. We need...

We need to talk.

Um... I-i'll meet
you at mcgrath's.

I'm okay.

Where do you want to go?

[Soft-rock music plays] I was going
to move... Until you talked to me.

And you were
right, what you said.

If [sighs]... If I left,

In some ways, I just would
have been running away,

You know, from dealing with
whatever it is you and I have to deal with.

I didn't... I didn't really buy that
part about me being an r.a., Though.

I'm glad you stayed...
For whatever reason.

Yeah.

Look, we had a
horrible thing happen.

And we both made some
really bad decisions,

And we hurt each other a lot.

But that doesn't mean
that we can't try again.

You think we can do that?

I just keep asking myself...

Why this all happened.

I mean... Why you needed
to be with hannah,

And why I went off with eli.

I mean, what was wrong
with us that that happened?

I don't know.

Well, whatever it is... I mean,
whatever we end up being,

Unless, you know, we
decide to just forget it

And never talk again,

I think we've got to start over

And just try and
become friends again.

Yeah.

Yeah, f-friends.

[Footsteps approach]

Sean: I'm not even here.

Do you mind?

Yeah! Yeah, we mind!

Tomorrow then, you want to talk?

Will you please excu... This
is a private conversation!

No, look, I said... I said I'd
talk to you, okay, but not now!

Sorry. Okay. Cut.
Okay, I'm... I'm sorry.

[Clanking, music stops]

This is about
theoretical research,

So don't be too bookish.

Sometimes great ideas come
when you're not being pragmatic.

All right, what I'll need

Is the outline for your
final projects by friday.

I'll go over them with you,

[Door opens] and then
schedule your presentations

For the week of the, uh... 23Rd.

No extensions. No excuses.

See you all in conference.

Thank you.

What did I miss?

He assigned the final project.

What? Everyone's got a partner.

Where the hell were you?

I-i was with noel. So,
wait, who's my partner?

You don't have one. There
are 10 people in this class.

He paired carla
with me and josh.

You're solo.

[Indistinct conversations]

Excuse me, doctor,
elena just said

That she's paired with
carla and josh? Mm-hmm.

I was just curious if, um, maybe
I could partner with elena.

Do know what I just spent
the last two hours discussing?

No, sir.

Look, I warned you from the beginning
that unless you are committed...

No, I am committed. I...
It was a personal thing.

Unless you are
committed, this won't work.

So now I have to do twice as
much work as everyone else?

You're not whining, are you?

'Cause if you're whining...
No, I was, but I'll stop.

When I first got here, I was
[sighs] all certain about who I'd be,

Who I wouldn't be.

You know, I had made all
these rules for myself.

"Don't let them see you
didn't come from money."

"Don't let them see
how scared you are."

"Don't let them pity you."

[Sighs deeply]

But once I realized everybody
was just as terrified as I was,

I loosened up.

I wasn't really in any
clique in high school.

Uh, socially, I wasn't
really connected.

I wasn't the least-popular guy
or anything in my high school,

But I wasn't that popular.

Sean: is college different?

No. [Slurping] not really.

Um, but I like it
better here, though...

Can't get any good
pizza in buffalo.

You know, some people... They think
I'm like a... I'm like a cliché, you know?

You know? And... And
every time I think about that,

I think, "you know
what? You're the cliché.

"You know why? Because,
you know, just 'cause you think

"I got, you know, a
little bit of an accent,

You... You gotta throw me into some
preordained stereotype or whatever."

I'm smart, man.
You know, I read.

I mean, i-i know who
ayn rand is, you know.

I know all about the bell
curve. I have friends in france.

I love being a librarian.

There's something...
Transcendent

About being surrounded
by books all day.

It's kind of like
working in a graveyard,

Except everyone who's
buried can still talk to you.

[Chuckles softly]
does that make sense?

You are so cute.

What?

We'll... We'll cut
this out later.

I just couldn't
help myself. [Laughs]

I'm sorry. Okay.

How has... Coming here
affected your family?

How has coming here
affected my family?

Well, my parents split up.

What?

Yeah.

How... How come you
never told me that?

Are you serious?

Yeah, I'm serious.

It happened a
couple of weeks ago.

Mom finally got up and
left, which, I don't know,

I think's the best thing.

I mean, it's about
time she did it.

[Sighs]

Are we done yet?

I... I decided to become
an r.a. For a few reasons.

Uh, one, I needed the money.

You know, it helps...
It helps pay my tuition.

Two, I wanted to help
students, you know.

When I was a... A freshman, I
had this real jerk for an r.a.

Harrison.

He was, like, on
some sick power trip.

I mean, he... He ignored every
guy, and he slept with every girl.

Like you slept with felicity?

I never slept with felicity.

How come?

What do you mean, how come?

How... How are these
questions about college?

I'm just curious. I mean, didn't
she sleep with some other guy?

All right, can we
not do this right now?

Oh, hey, I'm sorry, i...

Look... We can start
over if you want.

No, I'm just... I'm not in the best
mood right now anyway, okay?

Oh, okay.

Yes... Felicity slept with
someone else, and it's...

It's making me crazy, all right?

I did... Oh, I did a
really bad thing.

My, uh... My
ex-girlfriend came back,

And, uh...

And she said she
was still interested.

Um, we... We went out for,
like, two years, you know?

I don't know, the whole
thing just... It just threw me.

Um, I started
questioning everything,

Including my
relationship with felicity,

And nothing should have made me

Question what I
had with felicity.

I can't believe I'm
telling you this.

Man, I wish I had
my camera going.

What?

This is it, man.
This is the story.

This is what the docuventary's
about... You and felicity.

No, no, you're not gonna do
a movie about me and felicity.

So what's the problem... You
can't forgive her? Is that it?

[Sighs]

I don't know, i... I
can't get this image

Out of my mind, you know?

Felicity and... And eli.

When I was with hannah, felicity went
off and... And slept with this other guy...

Some artist, this...[Sighs]

Stud mr. Cool artist jerk.

[Sighs] I don't know.

I thought about going to...
To health services, you know,

And... And talking
to a counselor.

Yeah.

[Chuckles] you know, I even
thought about calling a hypnotist.

See, that's a great idea.

What is?

A hypnotist.

[Laughing] oh, come on.

No, no, no. My uncle paul
smoked three packs a day.

Then he went to go see this
guy in midtown... Hypnotist.

And... And now not
only does he not smoke,

He... He's become a lobbyist
for antitobacco legislation.

Wow.

Yeah.

You want to resolve
this felicity-eli situation?

A hypnotist could
be your answer.

You think?

I'll get the guy's number.

[Jazz music plays]

[Indistinct conversations]

You know what's
great about this guy?

His hair... Look at his hair.

Lynn, will you shut up?

Nobody serves up a muffin
on a plate better than this guy.

I mean, look at those skills.

Are you still worried
about dry skin, there?

You know, for a while he, uh,
he wasn't washing his hands.

Sir, he's re... He's
kidding about this.

You know, $5.00 is definitely
not too much for that.

I mean, that's a... That's
a really big pastry.

Lynn, lynn, if you get me
fired, I'm gonna k*ll you.

You love me!

Yes, I do.

Come on. Give me a
coffee and a free brownie.

All right.

So, you swam pretty good today.

Oh, I'm a better swimmer
than you. [Laughing] oh.

What? You're a little cuter than
me, but I kick your ass in the pool.

Hmm.

I was gonna ask you... Nicole and I
are gonna do a little bowling tonight.

What do you think?

Hmm, you in? No, I can't do
it. I gotta close up tonight.

Oh, yeah, yeah, you
love coffee so much?

[Snickers] where's
my frickin' brownie?

Look at this.

You got paid! Yep.

Sorta.

I know, can you believe that?

That's disturbing. I know.

It's unfortunate. Yeah. Hey,
look, I want you to put that

On the, uh, the minnesota-clippers
game. Can you do that?

No, no, b-barry's not gonna
take something that paltry, man.

Well, then just double it.
I'm good for it. I can do it.

You're not even
good for a brownie.

I'm serious. I need it.

Who do you want?

The clippers... I'll
sign it over to you.

[Laughing] clippers?

Yes, the clippers, yes.

Why don't you come
bowling with us later, huh?

[Paper rustling]

9:00... It's on me, okay?

All right, thank you.

Good. I'm not gonna thank you.

Why not? Because
I got no brownie.

[Music stops]

Sean: hey.

What are you doing?

A docuventary.

A what?

I really need to talk to you.

No, thanks. I'll see you.

[Sighs]

There she goes...

Felicity porter, the
unknowing co-star.

[Jazz music plays] I'm very
complex, I think, and that, um,

That makes it hard for, uh... I
think girls don't understand me.

But I think, like, I'm gonna
be one of those guys who,

Like, when he's, like, 30,
or, like, older, you know,

Gets tons of chicks, you know?

That's gonna be me.

I won't even know what to
do with them, I'll have so many.

Sean: let me ask you... What
do you think of hannah?

Um... I don't know.

Like, some people say that
she was being manipulative,

But i-i just think
that she was lonely.

I've made some really
good friends here.

Felicity, for example...
That's my girl.

And I'm with her all the time,

Going through her
stuff like it's mine.

And when it's hard for
her, it's hard for me.

I can't help it.

[Clears throat] [knock
on door, music stops]

Richard, if that's you
again, I swear to god...

Hi.

Oh, hi.

Uh, can I come in?

Sure.

God, I feel like I haven't
been here in so long.

I know, I know.

So, uh, w-what's up?

Um... Well, you know
my pasta theory?

Yeah. I saw it was
linguini. I'm sorry.

Yeah. [Chuckles]

When we were out talking
yesterday, apparently, uh,

I missed the most crucial
mcgrath seminar so far.

[Inhales sharply] that sucks.

Yeah. I have this
whole final project

I'm supposed to be doing
involving graphs and charts

And models and things that...

That you're much better
at than most people.

And I know that things
are still kind of awkward...

No, it's... Hey, that's okay.
Uh, what do you need?

Photoshop, uh, whenever
you're not using your computer.

No, here... Go ahead.

Now? Are you sure?

Yeah, you know how to use it.

Really? Uh-huh.

Look, I was just fooling around

With some stuff for
sean's stupid movie,

So, yeah, go ahead.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

[Sighs]

Are you sure now
is not a bad time?

We can't keep having
this conversation.

Okay, I've got reading to do.
Go ahead. It's thackeray, so...

Okay. [Chuckles]

Okay.

[Paper rustling]

[Keyboard, mouse clicking]

Do you need a new layer?

Yeah.

[Siren wailing in distance]

All right.

Here.

There you go.

Thanks. Mm-hmm.

[Sighs]

[Mouse clicking]

Okay. Uh... This
isn't gonna work.

What?

You sitting there,
me sitting here,

And both of us pretending
like nothing happened.

I wasn't pretending.

[Sighs] then I was.
I was pretending,

And I can't pretend
that nothing happened,

You know, with you and eli.

You know that he
didn't mean anything.

Which maybe makes it worse.

I'm not sure, but it
doesn't make it better.

Okay, look, I'm... I'm not
trying to make you feel guilty.

I hurt you, too... I know that.

But I've been, whatever,
soul-searching for weeks,

Trying to figure out
how to get past this, and...

I don't know, I just... I just
don't have that capacity

Like you do to... To
just... Just start over,

To just... To just
be friends again.

I-i can't.

Oh.

Yeah.

So... I'm sorry.

I just... I-i, uh...

I can't be a very
good friend right now.

[Footsteps depart]

[Door opens]

Sean: will you talk to me now?

Get away from me. God!

Yeah, we'll get her tomorrow.

[Jazz music plays]

What do you think about what
happened with felicity and noel?

Oh, man.

I could never forgive that girl.

Getting down with that
other guy... Forget it.

Yeah, but noel went off
with his ex-girlfriend first.

[Chuckles] yeah, yeah, but
he didn't get down with her.

As far as I see
it... Felicity's out.

How's it feel to
be replaced by eli?

What do you mean,
"replaced by eli"?

Oh, come on.

What?

You know, it used to be...

It used to be ben
or noel, right?

Now it's...

It's eli or noel.

So what?

Oh, come on. You're not jealous?

Jealous? No, I'm not jealous.

I'm not.

[Printer whirring]

[Knock on door]

Richard, go away.

Hey.

Hey.

So you watch
conan o'brien, right?

Yeah. It's the best show on tv.

Well, I wouldn't go that far,

But I do have two tickets
for next tuesday night,

And I was wondering if
you wanted to go with me.

Are you serious?
Yeah, that'd be awesome.

How many people did
you ask before me?

Uh, guys... None.

Girls... Like, 12.

Where are you going?

A hypnotist.

Oh.

You know, you said that
like it was a normal answer.

Yeah, I know. I'll explain it
all to you on tuesday, okay?

Oh, and we gotta wear something
cool because we could get on tv.

Okay.

What I'm proposing researching

Is the idea that love
is a genetic condition.

Genetic?

The idea being that, um, the
various components of love,

Including but not limited to,

Uh, attraction,
respect, trust, stamina,

The ability and desire
to communicate...

That all of these parts
are genetically determined,

That maybe we're all

Preprogrammed to
connect with someone else

Who's programmed
in a compatible way.

Do you subscribe to this theory?

Well, not really.

I don't know, I
think it's interesting

Why some people stay
together and others break up.

What's your methodology?

Theoretical genetic
analysis of 40 couples,

20 That are successful,

Basing success on a
partnership of 10 years or more,

And 20 that are
divorcing or splitting up

After, uh, 2 years or less.

So, you'll present
the genetic markers

That identify these traits?

That's the idea.

Uh, can I make one last plea...

No.

That you let me partner
with elena? Miss porter...

I've already talked
to her, and she's very...

If you'd come to class, we
wouldn't be having this conversation.

I know this is a
silly lesson to you,

But it's my lesson to teach.

Yes, sir.

[Jazz music plays]

So you don't really have
an addiction to anything?

No.

Did you... Did you tell
him I have an addiction?

Sean: i-i said you were sort
of a-addicted to this girl.

Oh, I don't...

I've never really had a
patient addicted to a... A person.

This is insane. We
shouldn't have come here.

Tell him about the image.

[Sighs]

Uh...[Chuckles softly]

My... My ex-girlfriend...

She went off with another guy.

[Sighing] ohh...

Yeah. Uh, and I have
this image in my head

Of... Of felicity with this guy,

And it's... Uh,
it's haunting me.

I might be able to
help you with that.

Really?

[Music stops] eyelids
are too heavy to open.

Your whole body
feels heavy like lead.

The next time you think of
the two of them together,

You will feel calm...

As if you're in a garden of
beautiful blooming flowers.

[Jazz music resumes]

This boy is so full of anger

That he can only see a symptom.

He can't see the problem.

As a professional hypnotist,

My job is to put him into a
highly suggestible state

To help him see the problem.

Hmm... Can you make him
think water is lemon juice?

Oh, yeah. That's easy.

[Music stops]

Sean: come on,
please talk to me.

God!

So, what's this
movie even about?

College...
Relationships in college.

Excellent.

Could you just talk a little bit

About your experience?

Yeah, I really, um...

I mean, sean, honestly,

I... I don't think I have one
valuable thing to say here.

Okay, so far, what's the
biggest lesson you've learned?

The biggest lesson?

[Door opens]

What the hell is this?

I'm making a movie.
You want to talk?

[Laughing] oh, wait...
Wait a minute.

Did you just ask me
to be in your movie?

Yeah.

No.

[Door slams]

[Sighs] interesting.

Uh, sorry, what... What
were we talking about?

Lessons.

Okay. Wait, I want to
make sure I get this.

Relationships are hard, I
think is the biggest lesson.

You know, you're dating someone,

And you're just
doing the best you can.

Um... And then all of a sudden,
you know, this thing happens.

Like, this tornado that
just comes out of nowhere,

And, uh, it might not even
be anyone's fault, you know?

Or maybe...

It had even been
brewing for a while, and...

And neither of you knew it.

Anyway, um, all of a sudden,

Everything is
just... Ripped apart.

I mean, like, everything that...

It's all...

Blown open, and...

And you're just kinda left there

To figure out what goes where.

I guess sometimes...

The person you thought
you'd be with for a long time...

I don't know,
sometimes you're wrong.

Relationships are hard.

They just are.

[Soft-rock music plays]
[indistinct conversations]

Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.

Yeah, my day was good, thanks.

One second, okay,
please, one sec.

Okay.

worry about my dumb friend ben.

Okay, just get off me!

Ben! Ben! Man, you come on!

[Indistinct shouting,
grunting, glass breaking]

Stop it!

Come on!

[Salsa music plays] sean:
so, what's your biggest fear?

[Sighs] that this interview goes
on for more than three minutes.

Can I ask you about
relationships?

I don't know, can you?

Hannah comes back, and
noel just runs off with her.

I'm like, I thought
I knew that guy.

And felicity, she goes off and
sleeps with that art student.

What the hell was that?

I'm like, who are these people?

[Sighs] I don't know.

I guess if I was felicity, I
would have done the same thing.

What's it like
living with felicity?

It's like living with a tv

That's always playing
"little house on the prairie,"

Only with more sweaters.

I liked it better when
felicity and noel were dating.

Back in the old days,
I used to bribe him,

'Cause, uh, you know, r.a.s
aren't supposed to fraternize,

And i-i'd get away with
all sorts of stuff.

Do you have an opinion
about felicity and noel?

Yeah. First of all, no one
could care less than me.

Second of all,
get over it, noel!

She slept with an
artist. It doesn't matter.

That's the most painful thing...

When the person you're dating
takes off with someone else.

Happened to me once.

It did?

Yeah. Summer camp.

The guy was a minnow.

A what?

Anything else?

Yeah. If noel asks
me one more time

If I've seen felicity,
I'm gonna k*ll him.

Are you listening, mr. R.a.?

Here's the answer for
the rest of your life.

I haven't seen felicity!

I can move on.

I mean, it's... It's not like
I need felicity in my life.

I mean, i-i survived
19 years without her.

So, next, you know, move on.

But the problem is...
I need a happy ending.

What?

[Music stops] the guy who, uh, sold
the documentary about his father...

There was a happy ending.

The steel mill didn't close.

He didn't lose his job.

It was a whole...
Teary-ending thing.

So you want me to change my life

So you can make a
better documentary?

Would you mind?

Would I mind?

Noel, you guys mean more
to each other than you think.

Go talk to her.

You know, really try
and make this better.

Fight for that relationship...

And let me videotape it.

No, it's over, okay?

The... The fact
is, I mean, even if...

Even if you forget
for just a second

That we both did horrible
things to each other...

Felicity never felt for
me what I felt for her.

And that's just the truth.

What are you doing?

Look at this.

[Tape squeaking]

Felicity: I guess sometimes...

The person you thought
you'd be with for a long time...

I don't know,
sometimes, you're wrong.

Relationships are hard.

They just are.

Like, you know that cliché, um,

[Voice breaking] that...
That you don't appreciate

What you've got until
it's gone, you know?

God, this... I feel like I'm in a
barbara walters interview.

[Laughing] I'm like...

Thanks.

No, the thing that I realize
now... Of course, now...

Is that...

Is that I love him.

Sean: which one are
we talking about?

Noel... Of course noel.

Yeah, can we just
stop doing this now?

[Elevator dings]

[Bags rustling]

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I... I thought you were
going to "the late show."

Yeah, I told, uh, I
told guy I couldn't go.

He invited this girl
he met on the street.

He invited a stranger?

Anyway, we were, uh,
walking to the subway.

And I had this...

Vision of my life...
Uh, after college,

When I wouldn't have
this amazing opportunity...

T-to live right down the
hall from someone like you...

Not someone like you. Uh, you.

I didn't feel the
way I did about you

Because, uh, you hadn't
slept with anyone.

Um...

Look, all I'm saying is
that if... If we can't, uh,

Figure out a way
to get through this,

Um, then i... I underestimated
what... What we are.

I love you.

I have since I met you.

And I'm just sorry
that it... It took all this...

Uh, for me to say it.

You think felicity and noel

make a really cute couple.

I think they're good together.

[Sighs] we don't know.

Yeah, we're just gonna kind
of, um... See how things go.

Yeah.

Now, just for my
happy ending, um,

Could you give each
other a little kiss?

Just a little one?

Sean...

Yeah, i-i told you we
weren't going out.

But come on, I mean, this has
gotta get steamy. I gotta sell this.

You know what?
Turn that thing off!

What?!

[Music stops]

If they get back together,
I'm gonna throw up,

And I'm not kidding.

I'm gonna vomit on this
carpet, and you can videotape it.
