- Kirsten Bennett: Charlie?
- [she finds him]
- Kirsten Bennett: Explain this to me Charlie. Explain why you you push. I... I didn't even ask, ok? I mean you practically insist that I apply for this job and then you shut the whole thing down.
- Charlie Salinger: Kirsten i know. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that.
- Kirsten Bennett: I mean, why did you offer to be my reference in the first place if that's what you were going to say? I mean I don't have my degree yet? I'm some flaky divorcee?
- Charlie Salinger: It was unfair. I was totally wrong.
- Kirsten Bennett: What is going on with you, Charlie? What are you doing?
- Charlie Salinger: I don't know. I just... heard about the program and how long you were going to be gone.
- Kirsten Bennett: But... you're the one who said that I should go in the first place.
- Charlie Salinger: To make you happy, yeah.
- Kirsten Bennett: What, so 3 months would make me happy, but 2 years no?
- Charlie Salinger: It was selfish, ok? I said I was sorry!
- Kirsten Bennett: But what does that mean selfish? You want me to stay?
- Charlie Salinger: Of course I do!
- Kirsten Bennett: Well, then why don't you just say it? Why can't you just say it if that's what you want?
- Charlie Salinger: I want you to stay! Ok? I want you to stay.
- Kirsten Bennett: Ok!
- Julia Salinger: This was no surprise, you know. Everyone warned me. One way or another. Charlie did. You did. Even Griffin, the way he was acting. But I wouldnt listen.
- Claudia Salinger: Isn't it better this way? You know, instead of waiting months and months just to find this out.
- Julia Salinger: I don't know.
- Claudia Salinger: Julia.
- Julia Salinger: Even when i was alone... or even with someone else... He was always there. You know? Just always there, like the air or something. And now that I know that he's really gone... It's like... It sounds so dumb, but it's actually harder to breathe.
- Charlie Salinger: Look, you know what? Let's just forget about this.
- Kirsten Bennett: No. Why? Forget it? Why?
- Charlie Salinger: Because Kirsten... This is just getting way too weird. I mean... You are my friend. You're a really, really good friend, and I'm not going to lose that.
- Kirsten Bennett: How would you lose that?
- Charlie Salinger: Just... If I started looking for things, for... stuff that isn't there.
- Kirsten Bennett: Really? Like what?
- Charlie Salinger: Like... I don't know. Stuff, you know, between you and me stuff that we... moved on from.
- Kirsten Bennett: Charlie...
- Charlie Salinger: Kirsten... Please change the subject. Please just...
- Kirsten Bennett: You mean stuff like this?
- [she kisses him]
- Kirsten Bennett: Is that what you mean?
- Charlie Salinger: Yeah.
- [they kiss again]
