Transcript
This is the part where you get your jacket back. This is the part where I tell you to keep it. What are you still doing here? Go on. Go get married. He's waiting, isn't he? Why did you say you didn't deserve me? Cognitive dissonance. You loved me. I didn't like myself. Goodbye. He didn't pilot. When did you stop looking for me? Yesterday. There is no wedding, is there? Kiss me like you're never dead.
