Speaker 7: were listening to, and it was some obscure punk rock
Speaker 7: band from Pico Rivera.

Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I did. I mean you looked familiar. You remember me? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You said sorry and then you ran away. I didn't
Speaker 1: run away. Felt so bad? Why because I gave off
Speaker 1: a really awful I'm not interested vibe. Mm hmm it
Speaker 1: was really rude. Mmm, you kind of were. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I was having the shittiest week, just broke up with someone.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Listen. If it were
Speaker 1: any other night, I would have bought you a drag.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 1: Really, you're actually the first person that I've gone out
Speaker 1: with since him. So it's just like a date, is
Speaker 1: it not.
Speaker 6: I haven't been on a real date in like five years.
Speaker 6: My god, it kind of makes sense. That's why everything
Speaker 6: was so awkward before.
Speaker 1: Well thanks, no, no, I sorry I mean that in
Speaker 1: a really, really cute kind of way. Okay, Mmmm, it's
Speaker 1: so beautiful out here. Yeah, it's I kind of want
Speaker 1: to just keep sitting here, you know, and enjoyed of you.
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 8: This memory will always stick with me. It's in this
Speaker 8: moment where I felt alone for the very last time.
Speaker 8: In two years. I will move in with Rusty. He
Speaker 8: will make me pour over coffee every morning. I will
Speaker 8: fall asleep on his lap watching reruns of ninety sitcoms.
Speaker 8: We will fight occasionally, and then it will become more frequent.
Speaker 8: One of our arguments will escalate and we will break up,
Speaker 8: but it won't last long, and everything will go back
Speaker 8: to the way it was. We will eventually start having
Speaker 8: less sex, but it won't matter because we just like
Speaker 8: being around each other, talking to each other, sitting in
Speaker 8: each other's silence. He will eventually go before me, and
Speaker 8: I will miss him. I will cry every day, and
Speaker 8: after a while I won't cry.
Speaker 1: As much.
Speaker 8: Because I will remember this moment and play it again
Speaker 8: in my head, because even without him, I am not alone.
Speaker 8: In this moment, I am sitting on top of Los
Speaker 8: Angeles and I see everyone, I hear all of the
Speaker 8: people who are going through it, just like me, who
Speaker 8: have been through the hurt.
Speaker 1: I think I was just freaking out because I'm scared.
Speaker 1: Who cares? It's salmon.
Speaker 4: I wanted to eat it with you.
Speaker 1: I should really fucking move.
Speaker 8: I really fucking should through the mishunter standings.
Speaker 1: And you were never supposed to find out.
Speaker 8: Oh that's supposed to make me feel better.
Speaker 1: You think you can just keep people like shit? What
Speaker 1: people like me?
Speaker 8: You think you're so much better?
Speaker 2: My work is valuable no matter what you think.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I'll no like I'm not sorry. So dude,
Speaker 1: you straight up one behind my back? Why would you
Speaker 1: do that?
Speaker 8: And the choice of living and loving one another. I'm
Speaker 8: going to be a father.
Speaker 1: Ye're having a baby. I think about him at least
Speaker 1: once a week. Like that's nuts, right? Like damn ju well,
Speaker 1: it is so stupid. I love you, Rusty, I always will. Okay,
Speaker 1: what are you thinking about? Nothing? This is really nice?
