He’s not going to call.

He’s calling.

He doesn’t even have my phone number.

He will get your number.

How?

Somehow. Why do you think we have had all these advances in information technology? They are all about helping people track down other people other people they are sexually attracted to. Jen, just trust me. Alright? The guy will find you, and when he does, just throw yourself at him immediately because you obviously want to.

Whether I want to or not, nice girls just don’t hurl themselves at boys, Jack. Society at large deems that slutty and self destructive.

That’s right. I forgot. You’re a slut. Only, you haven’t actually had sex with anybody the entire time I have known you. And if you look at the cold hard facts, I have kissed more guys than you have this past year.

Well…That’s not true.

I’ve kissed one. How many have you kissed?

One.

How many straight guys?

None.

[Jack shrugs his arms as to say he has proven his point]

This is the saddest competition ever.

I just have a hard time believing that same person who has Licensed to Ill, also has Volume 2 of the essential Dolly Parton collection.

Give me that.

And why is it so important to you that I listen to this song?

Because, once you hear Dolly Parton’s original 1974 recording of I’ll Always Love You, the song made popular and sucky on the Bodyguard soundtrack, you will truly and possibly for the first time in your entire life, know what it means not to suck. And at that point, your entire universe will turn upside down. Everything that used to seem normal to you, will suddenly seem right.

And that is a good thing?

Of course it's a good thing. What is music for, if not to subvert all your expectations and blow your mind every once in a while?

Well, I thought that was what people were for.

What?

Nothing, I, I just can’t believe you like country music.

Well, I like all kinds of music, unlike you who’s obviously very cynical and very closed minded. It’s probably one of those upper middle class, heavy television, freaky batgirls that drive around town in their father’s old Volvo.

I came here from a small town, I like to knit, and I live with my grandmother.

Works for me.

Well, I went to go take the tour, turns out that Audrey is the tour guide.

Audrey is the tour guide?

Yeah the pay sucks, but it allows me to combine two of my passions. Performing in front of a small audience, and getting strangers to fall in love with me.

And what does matter?

You. That’s why I got upset this morning, Dawson. I had spent the entire weekend thinking that you had heard everything I had to say on that message and that you came anyway. That you understood me.

Joey, as long that I live, I will never understand you. I mean, I had this fantastic weekend. Hanging out with you. Hanging out with my friends. Questions whether or not, I even wanted to go back to LA, and then I wake up this morning to find out that the girl that was so upset that I couldn’t come, could actually kiss me off in the waning hours of Friday night.

Dawson, I never said it was going to be easy.

Then tell me one thing that you do know.

I know that I wanted you there. At the end of the day, when I got back to my room, I wanted you there.

Why?

I don’t know why. I don’t know what I meant. I just know that I wanted you there.

Joey, I am here. I’ve been here for two days, and only now are we finding a way to talk about stuff that really matters. Like why you left that message. All right? And you know, maybe that is the ending we are supposed to have. Maybe every other attraction that we feel each other is just, fear of moving on, fear of growing up.

Is that what you really think?

I don’t know, but I do know that if I get on this plane, I am never going to find out. All right, because, we’re gonna, we’re gonna move on, we’re going to grow up, and four years from now we are going to wake up, and we are going to be complete strangers to each other. The only thing that I know for sure, it that I don’t want that to happen. Do you?
