This is for you.
Oh, thank you.
You're welcome.
So...
We're two drinks in.
Tell me about you.
Have you ever been married?
Uh, no. No. You?
Yeah, twice.
Mm.
But I'm getting better at it.
Well that sounds promising.
You, um...
-Ever think about taking the test? -Mm.
I did more think just think about it.
Really? Well that's, um... That's, uh...
No, it's okay. We're not together anymore.
I...
didn't like the way that he treated women.
Oh my God, was he, um...
No. No, not with me. But he...
He had a history.
It's okay, I've...
come to terms with it.
He taught me a lot about myself, actually.
In fact, a lot of who I am now is because of him.
Hey hun.
Oh, God.
-Sorry, you startled me. -So, um, I got a favor to ask.
Could you cover my shift Monday?
I got to get my hair done. Hot date.
Monday? I'm sorry, I can't, I have a doctor's appointment.
Oh no, you were my last hope.
This guy, he could be the one.
He's in management.
Come on Cait, please?
Okay, well, I guess I could try and... move my appointment.
Thanks.
Can you remind me to order more bags?
When?
Don't worry, I just reminded myself.
Hey, did you hear?
Tammy finally got the cash together.
She took the test too.
She got her match, got the ping, straight up.
That's great!
I'm... so happy for her.
What about you? Anything yet?
No.
Don't worry. He'll show up.
Please exit by the rear door.
Damn it.
She was definitely... 23?
I mean, I don't know, I didn't ask. Best not to.
Hey.
You didn't bring dinner?
No, I came right home from the shelter.
Don't they give out food there?
Well... Yeah, but for homeless people.
Alright. Okay hun, it was a joke. Jeez.
I am starving though.
Well...
-The store on 5th is open, I-- -You should just get take-out.
Not Chinese though, you know what that does to me.
Yeah.
I do.
It's happening.
I can't believe this is happening.
Doug, that was the deal.
You know...
Companionship. Until one of us got our match.
I don't know, I guess...
I always thought it would be me first.
What if I say no?
Well... This is my apartment.
I help cover rent.
No, you pay for the subscription to the sports channel.
And anyway, you can't stay here, I mean...
How would I explain that to Nathan?
-Nathan? -Yeah.
Yeah, but... You haven't even met the guy.
Doug, please. Come on, don't make this hard for me.
Hard for you? You're kicking me out!
I love you.
I mean, it's not...
"in love" love, but I make you happy, right?
I mean, wha--
What if this guy can't make you any happier than me?
Doug, please. I would do the same thing for you, you know that I would.
Okay, look. You can't just kick me out. I have rights.
-Doug, that's-- -I'm not just moving out, okay?
-I was-- -I said no.
Oh my God, oh my God...
-Caitlin? -Nathan. Hi.
So, do we, uh...
I guess so, I...
-It's nice to meet you. -You too.
-Um... -Shall we?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm, I'm sorry for...
-For what I'm wearing. -It's perfect.
Do you want food, or just coffee?
Oh I, I don't, I don't know. I'm s-- I don't know.
Let's just order coffee then, shall we?
We don't want to overcommit, right?
I have a boyfriend. Kind of.
I, I, kind of have...
Oh, okay.
Well that kind of takes the edge off.
-I'm sorry. I, I'm s-- I'm-- -No, don't apologize.
I'm s... I'm...
How about this:
I'll tell you about me, you tell me about you,
and if it goes well,
you can share some of my "Cohen's Special Deep-Fried Cheese-Os".
Huh?
I would say, you have a deal.
I was in the field ten years, all in.
But every time you get back out, you're rolling the dice, and...
I thought, "I've done my fair share of front line",
so I decided to practice back here.
Where I'm not being shot at, for a change.
That sounds... amazing.
Does it?
Oh... Absolutely.
Why did you take the test if you have a boyfriend?
I don't even really like him.
I asked him to move out, and...
He didn't want to leave, so...
So...
You just let him stay?
I've had...
some...
bad relationships.
Uh, a lot, actually, and...
Some of them have been violent, and that has made me scared, I guess.
All the time.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't...
I didn't mean to kill the mood.
No.
No, not at all.
And I'm sorry.
For what? Men?
Some.
Why did you take the test?
I took the test because I was lonely.
And, uh, I was... terrified of women.
Are you teasing me?
I'm serious. I used to be.
But I learned how to beat it.
How?
Where are we going?
Come on. It's going to be fun.
Okay, I'm in heels, so I can't keep up with you.
Hey, what are you doing? What are you taking me?
-Stop it! -Wait a minute.
Stop it, you're hurting me.
Give it a beat. Just give it a beat.
-Oh, oh my God- -It's okay. It's just you and me.
That feeling, that you want to run?
That's your past telling you to be scared,
it's screaming at you, but it is not all who you are.
Let it speak.
Okay...
Spend some time with it.
And when it calms down,
you'll hear what it's truly trying to say.
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
Hold it.
Now breathe out.
What's the voice saying?
Hey, hun.
Hey.
What?
Oh my God!
-Tell me everything. -Okay.
His name is Nathan. He's a doctor.
He has a place upstate, not too far,
he travels, he does charity work...
Caitlin, this is huge!
I'm really happy for you.
I mean, we just had one date, well, you know, a kind of date, but...
It was amazing.
We talked for hours about everything, and I mean, like, real talk.
You know?
Real talk. Sounds deep.
Does he have this intense kind of look,
like he's staring right into you?
Yes!
How do you know--
-Oh my gosh, hi! -Hey.
What are you doing here?
I couldn't stay away. I want to take you out again.
-Right now? -Yeah.
Well I, I just started here, I'd feel bad leaving.
-Really? -Yeah.
Oh, okay. Well I can make myself useful.
-Really? -Yeah, of course.
Okay, well let's go meet Nira, and she'll get you all set up.
-This is Nathan. -Hey.
-Nathan. -Good to meet you.
-And you. Shall we start with these? -This is Nira.
-I'll get you an apron. -Come on then.
What?
What's the catch?
What do you mean?
You. I mean, this, us. You!
I'm not going to give away my secrets. Not yet.
Don't want to scare you off.
You don't scare me at all.
What were you like in high school?
I don't know...
Normal, I guess.
I mean, you could say that I was a late bloomer.
My mom died when I was 17, and...
-I lived with my s-- -I want to see your place.
Doug's there.
Do you want him to be?
No, but...
I...
Are, are you sure that this is a good idea? I just---
You'll be fine.
Hey.
Oh, uh... We're out of toilet paper.
Is this him?
Doug, we need to talk.
What, you brought him as backup?
This is between the two of you.
Doug...
I was very clear. We're done.
And I would like you to... pack up and move out now, please.
Yeah. We, we talked about this, and I was very clear.
I can't just pack up and move out, just like that, out on to the street.
I mean, if I was a total stranger, I would get two weeks' notice.
I mean, you just turn up with a guy and you expect me to jump?
I have rights too, you know.
-You don't think this is hard for-- -Doug.
I want you to pack up, and go now.
But...
Just go.
What just happened?
It felt good, right?
It...
You...
I think I love you.
That's great.
I want no love like this. I want love only...
-Hey hun. -Hey.
...I love you more.
More than I ever thought it possible to love anyone in the world...
Then why won't you tell me what is troubling you?
Why won't you let me help you?
Nathan?
Hey.
What time is it? Are you okay?
It's a little late. I'm sorry.
No, no, no, it's fine.
It's fine, it...
Where have you been?
I've been busy, but, um... I've been thinking about you. A lot.
You have? Really?
Yeah.
I want to see you.
Me too.
Come to my place.
What, now?
Yeah. I want to show you something.
Um... Okay.
Great. I'll send a cab.
Okay, sure. What should I--
Nathan?
Na--
Thank you.
Amazing. You are so nice to all those people?
A lot of love to give.
Are you a painter?
Yes, and, uh, I would love to paint you.
-Oh really? -Yeah.
Um, I especially like to stroke faces...
And necks.
-Caitlin! -No!
-Caitlin! -No, no!
Oh, God.
Caitlin, Caitlin!
Oh my God.
911, police operator. What is your emergency?
I just saw...
Hello? Ma'am? Are you in danger?
No, no no, no. I just saw...
We have your address. We're dispatching an officer.
No. No, I... I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Caitlin, please, open the door.
Caitlin?
Caitlin. Please.
Open door.
What did she do to you?
Nothing.
I didn't even know her.
There are others.
Why?!
Did you call the police?
Yes.
But I... I didn't tell them anything.
Why not?
I don't know. I...
Are you going to kill me now?
No... No, no!
I invited you over because...
I wanted to show you.
Who I really am.
I wanted to see why we're matched.
Why you...
were matched to me.
I wanted to see if you might be like me.
I don't like seeing you upset.
Don't.
Caitlin, look at me.
Look at me.
Get out.
Get out!
-Get out!
-Caitlin? -Get out!
Get. Out.
I'm sorry.
Oh my God...
It's true love, I'm telling you.
He says he's going to leave his skank wife any day now.
I'm going to give him a week.
I know you're not meant to make men choose, but I'm like,
screw that, I'm not getting any younger.
Right, Caitlin?
I'm sorry, what?
He's going to leave her, right?
Yeah.
I knew it.
She's a skank.
She easily weighs thirty pounds more than me. Easily.
Hey.
So, you look like shit.
Dr. Love Train keeping you up at night?
Hey.
You okay?
-What's wrong? -It's just...
-It's me and Nathan, it's... -What happened?
-Did he hurt you? -No. No, no.
Then what?
-I... -Look.
You don't need him. Never did.
I'm a good person, right?
I mean, I try, I really try to do the right things, you know, I just...
Oh honey, of course you're a good person.
Look where you are.
Then why would I be matched up with somebody like that?
Like what?
Hey.
Who knows why these things are anything, alright?
But if he's done something, maybe you should tell someone.
Alright, come here.
Can I help you, Ma'am?
I have some information.
You want to report a crime? Okay then.
Yeah, I'll call you back.
There was...
I, I saw a...
There's a man, and he...
Ma'am?
I'm sorry.
I made a mistake. I, I truly, truly apologize.
Excuse me, Ma'am? Excuse me?
Hey, you got a couple of bucks?
-No, sorry. -Hey, are you okay, lady?
Huh? You need somebody to talk to?
-Hey. No. No! -Sh, sh, sh.
Hey. I thought we were going to talk it out, huh?
So what, you don't want to talk?
-No! -Where are you going?
Sh, sh, sh. Stay here.
Take a deep breath.
Hold it.
Now breathe out.
What does the voice say?
Hey hun.
So, because of what the lawyers told him,
he's going to have to finish his vacation with her.
Which makes sense, otherwise he loses everything.
But he gets back on Monday,
and I was wondering if you could cover my shift?
I mean...
If it's too much...
-Yeah, fine. -Great.
Thanks.
-Oh, hey hun. -Hey.
-You cooking? -Yeah.
Great. I'm starving.
What is it?
Pasta marinara.
That's like... That's got meat in it, right?
No.
-I can make meatballs? -Yes!
Come on...
Uh, so... There's, like, 26 of them.
So you have to stack them, uh, like twelve on the bottom,
then eight, then four, no, uh...
No, wait a second, uh...
Fourteen. Fourteen on the bottom, so that's six, and six, and six.
Uh, no, that makes, that's... That makes eighteen, so...
Okay, damn it, let me just start over. So, uh...
So, it has to look like a pyramid, that's, that's the point.
So you have to stack them like, uh...
Well, like, like, like a pyramid, I guess.
He's not boring.
He's the definition of boring. We know this.
I can't understand for the life of me why you took his ass back.
Because...
Doug is a good man. He...
There's no other side to Doug, and that is not nothing.
Sounds boring to me.
My mom used to read this book to me all the time when I was a kid, and...
In the book everybody has these imaginary buckets
that they carry around all day long, and...
When you're nice to someone,
when you do something good for them, you...
You fill up their bucket with, you know, joy.
And the book says, you know, the magic thing is,
is that when you fill up someone else's bucket,
you fill up your own at the same time, because...
Being good to other people is supposed to make you feel good.
It's just...
I don't think that my bucket has ever been full.
No matter what I do,
it's just always been empty, and...
What if my bucket is different from everybody else's, what if...
it's always been... different?
What book is that? Is that Harry Potter or something?
Sometimes, when you're sleeping,
I think about...
stabbing you in the stomach,
just to see how long it would take you to bleed until you die.
You're a real mess, you know that?
...my gym! I've got an extra voucher.
-That would be very good for me. -Yeah!
I think that's exactly what I need, you know?
-Just like... Just a bit more... -Uh-huh.
-Energy, and positivity... -Exactly.
-And... -Yeah...
I love you.
No.
Hey.
Doug?
H-Hey... Uh...
I-I can't take your call right now, because I'm...
I'm upstate, seeing a... a-a doctor.
Caitlin! Help me, please. Please.
You've got to help me.
Caitlin. Caitlin! Caitlin.
Let him go, Nathan.
You don't want me to, not really.
No!
It's okay.
-I understand now. -No, please.
Please, no. Please.
You don't have to be alone anymore.
We can do this. Together.
No! Please, no!
Caitlin, you don't have to do this. Caitlin, you don't have to do this.
Hey.
Hey, hun.
I said no.
Yes!
You're a real mess, you know that?
I love you.
I...
didn't like the way that he treated women.
Oh my God, was he, um...
No. No, not with me. But he... had a history.
He taught me a lot about myself, actually.
In fact, a lot of who I am now is because of him.
Wow. That's, um... not the usual story you hear.
Well, I've heard that before.
Anyway, tell me about you.
So, it says on your profile that you're a doctor?
I am.
Can I tell you a secret?
Sure.
I... kind of have a thing for doctors.
I do.
