1:00:12
You're just gonna close
the store like that ?

1:00:15
I wanna talk to you about something,
and l don't wanna be disturbed.

1:00:17
Something l read in the tabloids.
1:00:19
- You saw it.
- Very dramatic, l thought.

1:00:21
- it is not what you think.
- Oh, it's not what l think.

1:00:23
What is it, worse ? You're pregnant
with the Asian design major's child ?

1:00:26
- What's goin' on here ?
- l am not pregnant.

1:00:28
Were you gonna tell me, or were
you gonna send me an invitation ?

1:00:31
I was gonna tell you,
but we were getting along so well,
I didn't wanna mess it up.

1:00:34
You could've broken it to me gently.
1:00:36
You could've started
by telling me you had a boyfriend.
I told you l had a girlfriend.

1:00:39
I know. I'm sorry,
but when we started talking,
it was like l forgot l had a boyfriend.

1:00:43
- And then he proposed last month.
- And you said yes.

1:00:45
Well, kind of. Sort of.
1:00:47
Is that what they teach you in that
school of yours ? ""Kind of,"" ""sort of"" ?

1:00:50
Everybody knows about this except me !
Do you know how humiliating that is ?

1:00:52
I would've told you, and you would've
stopped calling me, like a baby.

1:00:55
- How do you know that ?
- Because l know you.

1:00:57
You prefer drastic measures
to rational ones.

1:01:00
- So you're really getting married ?
- No.

1:01:02
- You're not really getting married ?
- [ Scoffs ]

1:01:04
The story goes like this: He proposed,
I told him l had to think about it,

1:01:09
and he insisted
that l wear the ring anyway.

1:01:11
Then my mother told the paper
we were engaged.

1:01:13
- Oh, how like her.
- Then my mother called this morning...

1:01:16
to let me know that
the announcement was in the paper.

1:01:18
That's when l hopped a train
to come back here,
because l knew you'd be a wreck.

1:01:21
- Thanks for the vote of confidence.
- Was l right ?

1:01:24
""Wreck"" is a harsh term.
1:01:26
""Disturbed"" is more like it.
""Mildly disturbed,"" even.

1:01:28
Oh, l love a macho facade.
It is such a turn-on.

1:01:31
- What smells like shoe polish ?
- So you came here to what ?
To comfort me ?

1:01:35
The last thing l needed was for you to
think l was hiding something from you.

1:01:38
- But you were !
- No, l wasn't ! Not really.

1:01:40
I told you
I'd been seeing other people.

1:01:42
Yeah, but not seriously. Christ,
you're ready to walk down the aisle.

1:01:45
I think that constitutes something
more than just seeing somebody.

1:01:47
- What's going on ?
- I'm giving him his ring back.

1:01:50
- What ?
- [ Sighs ] l don't want to marry him.

1:01:52
I don't want to get married now.
I'm on the verge of graduation.

1:01:55
I want to go to grad school after this,
and then l want to start a career.

1:01:59
I don't want to be a wife first
and then have to worry about...
