CELA Open it.

LARRY I don’t understand why you’re giving me gifts.

CELA It’s Larry Day.

Beat.

CELA You’re Larry.

LARRY This is all very nice. But I think we should talk.

CELA Okay.

LARRY But what are we celebrating, Cela? I want to celebrate. But what does it mean if I open this?

CELA It’s just a gift.

LARRY Cela.

CELA I want things to be good again. I want to move on.

LARRY I want to move on, too. But I don’t want to ignore it. If we move on without talking about the last three months, It doesn’t feel like we are actually moving on, you know?

Larry looks at her.

LARRY This is all very nice. But I need to know where you stand. I’ve been thinking a lot about this.

CELA Yeah, so have I.

LARRY (re: the gifts) I know. I can’t just leave today with presents and never see you again. I don’t want f#&king Larry Day. I need more than a day from you.

CELA So do I.

LARRY I haven’t seen you for three months.

CELA It was your idea.

LARRY It wasn’t... Let’s not argue. If you’re saying you want to get back together with me, then the answer is yes. Text Jane back. Tell her “It’s going great, girl.” Tell her you’re nailing it. You look great. I feel awful for breaking up with you.

CELA Lar...

LARRY I was sitting in the apartment, looking at boxes of your books, and your tiny pillows, thinking to myself “I don’t want this. I want these things here.” I want you here.

CELA I want to be here...

LARRY After that fight, I was worried it was something about me. That I just wanted to be with someone. But I don’t. It isn’t about someone. It’s about you. You’re the someone.
