  Kirsten Bennett : Hey.

  Charlie Salinger : Hey.

  Kirsten Bennett : I'm a little late. I'm sorry. They were having this garage sale down the block, and I found that famous painting... you know the one with the four dogs playing poker? And I didn't know whether or not to get it for you.

  Charlie Salinger : As a housewarming present?

  Kirsten Bennett : Well... yes. But that's the problem, because getting it for you would mean that I was okay with you being here. On the other hand, not getting it for you was like saying that I didn't understand what having your own place meant to you.

  Charlie Salinger : So you didn't buy it?

  Kirsten Bennett : No, actually, I did.

  [both laugh] 

  Kirsten Bennett : It's downstairs. I couldn't bring it up myself. It's kind of huge.

  Charlie Salinger : Will it fit in the back of my truck? Turns out I've already lived here. Oh, different apartment, maybe, but... I've already lived the life that I wanted to have here. The partying, the drinking, the staying out all night and waking up with a hangover and some girl's number in my pocket. I've been that guy, and I thought I wanted to be him again. Turns out, and this is the funny thing, turns out I don't really like that guy very much. I mean, i don't like me when I'm him. A year ago, I didn't have anyone to think about except for myself. Nothing to tie me down. I could just pick up, take off whenever I wanted. No one needed me, I mean, really needed me. And I used to think that made me the luckiest guy in the world. You know?

  Kirsten Bennett : And now?

  Charlie Salinger : Now...

  Kirsten Bennett : So?

  Charlie Salinger : So... Let's go home.
