BENJAMIN>> I'm so glad you came. SOPHIE>> What are we really doing here, Ben?
BENJAMIN>> Sophie, I just want to know you're okay. That you're doing great things. That
I didn't ruin your life. SOPHIE>> Wow.
BENJAMIN>> Okay, knock me down a few notches. I like when you do that. It always made me
feel you could take care of yourself. SOPHIE>> Funny, because I worried about you.
You had more to lose than I did. BENJAMIN>> We both lost.
SOPHIE>> We could still be together if we met at another time. I mean, you're only six
years older than I am. BENJAMIN>> Too bad they're the wrong six years.
[pause] So, are you seeing anyone?
SOPHIE>> I was. BENJAMIN>> Is there anything you want to know?
About my life? SOPHIE>> I want to know if you missed me,
if you feel bad about me, if you still think about me.
BENJAMIN>> It was hard to let go. SOPHIE>> But, you did.
BENJAMIN>> Not a real choice. Why do you have to be so
[pause] you?
[pause]
SOPHIE>> All right, so, tell me things. Tell me about your life.
Except if you're married. Are you? Married?
BENJAMIN>> I'm waiting for the right girl. The right woman.
SOPHIE>> I think I need more coffee. Do you want more coffee?
I'm just going to get another coffee. BENJAMIN>> Don't go. Not yet.

VIVIAN What am I doing?
[Venice, California]
CAREY>> Hey, cutie, got your message. What's up?
[pause]
ASTER>> I just wanted to say good bye in person. CAREY>> Ahh. It's time to go back.
ASTER>> School. Parents. All that stuff. CAREY>> Well, that's cool. I kind of dig the
idea of a long distance romance. ASTER>> We can skype. And there's always sexting.
We'll see each other again. It doesn't mean CAREY>> We'll see what it means.
[they kiss]
CAREY I'm really looking forward to the sexting.
ASTER You should be.
SOPHIE>> I think I still have feelings for him.
VIVIAN>> Oh, Soph. That's not good. SOPHIE>> I can't help it. He was my first.
What if he's like the one? VIVIAN>> Maybe who you think is the one isn't
the one. And when you find the person who is your real love,
you could screw things up because you're still hung up on the person you had young feelings
for. SOPHIE>> I have to see him again.
VIVIAN>> Bad idea. SOPHIE>> It's a terrible idea. But what am
I going to do? You know what it's like.
[New York City]
[Door opens to Dr. Glass's office]
ASTER>> I should've called. You probably have a patient. I didn't even think.
I'm sorry. I didn't know where else to go. [pause]
DR. GLASS>> It's okay. It's okay that you're here.
ASTER>> Everything's different. You look different. I mean, the baby's out.
DR. GLASS>> [amused] The baby is definitely out.
How are you different? ASTER>> I'm not with Vivian.
DR. GLASS>> That is a big change. ASTER>> I haven't talked to her or seen her
in months. I'm turning seventeen. I met someone in LA.
What should I do? DR. GLASS>> You know I would kill to make
you a list. I love lists. And if I were just one of your friends I'd
have no problem giving you all kinds of advice. But, you and I, we have to get to things another
way. So, let's back up.
ASTER>> She kissed another girl. Her friend, Sophie. Right in front of me.
I was so blown away mad I practically had sex with someone in the hall of Vivian's school.
She saw me. She cried. I left town. And now I'm back.
DR. GLASS>> You're back. And so is whatever you ran away from.
ASTER>> Yeah. DR. GLASS>> When you headed to LA, was there
anything you were going towards? ASTER>> What do you mean?
DR. GLASS>> Well, you chose a place. You found a way to get there.
What do you think you might have been looking for other than escape?
ASTER>> Something new. DR. GLASS>> A new version of yourself, maybe?
[pause] I'm going out on a limb here but I'm guessing
that not being with Vivian is only one of the things that's
different about you.
[pause]
ASTER>> I feel older. DR. GLASS>> Is that a good feeling?
ASTER>> I like it. And it kind of scares me. DR. GLASS>> Smart girl. I'm big on two opposite
feelings occupying the same space at the same time.
Well, actually my job depends on it. Do you know what scares you about getting
older? ASTER>> I feel like I can't do things the
way I always have. And, like I should be seriously thinking about
what I want to do with my life. Dr. Glass>> mmm
ASTER>> What?
DR. GLASS>> Just happy you came to see me.
ASTER>> I miss her.
DR. GLASS>> Do you want to work things out with Vivian?
ASTER>> I don't know if we can. I don't know if she wants to.
Or if it's the right thing. And It's making me crazy.
DR. GLASS>> Aster, there's a reason you feel crazy.
Well, first, relationships can do that. But, it's because somewhere buried inside
you know what you want to do and you're fighting against it.
[pause] ASTER>> Any clues where to look?
DR. GLASS>> You came to see me. That's the first clue.
I can only say you're getting warmer.
