Well, everyones waiting on it.

You know what to do.
Hey, its Becca.

Yeah sure. I totally understand.
Im still on my way to Beccas.
Ill try to send it over once I get situated.
Thanks, Ill keep an eye out for it.
Im trying to find this place.
If you head up this street -
That way? Thank you.
Hi? Hey!
Hey! How are you?
How is everything?
I thought you were going to meet
Yeah, Im so sorry.
I just keep on getting my time zones mixed up.
Here, come in, come in.
Looks like you made it ok,
for your first time in Tokyo, though.
Yeah.
Work still crazy?
You know, same as always.
That's good.
Moving up from an associate pretty soon.
My parents are really happy.
Oh my god, that's great.
That's what you always wanted.
I know.
Hows the new gig been?
Its been good.
You know, a bit busy, but
I still get to see my friends whenever I can.
And, get to go to Shibuya, so...
That's good.
Yeah, yeah.
Seems like theres a lot of cool places to see around here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of cool places, yeah.
Is everything ok?
Yeah, everything's fine.
Were still meeting Jun for dinner tonight, aren't we?
Yeah, before I forget, I have something for you.
Umm...
What's that?
This, this is for you.
A box?
Yeah, yeah. Its umm...
Its your birthday gift.
I thought we were celebrating my birthday on Thursday.
My actual birthday... Yeah, um...
I know.
The thing is, is that, um...
The thing is, is that I wanted to do this in person.
I feel like it would just be too awkward doing it over the phone.
Ive just been thinking,
Ive been here for 6 months.
I have another 6 months to go.
I just think we need to focus on our own things right now.
Im confused.
We live in different countries.
I thought we were already doing our own thing.
Im here for the whole week.
Why don't we try to focus on our own thing?
What about tonight?
I don't know what to say.
I have plans tonight, ok? I do, its just...
But listen, ok, listen.
I got you a hotel nearby my apartment.
If you wanna go, go and explore Tokyo.
You're kidding right?
If you want to stay and talk about this we can.
I have a few hours to kill before I go off to my next plans and everything.
Your plans?
Its all about you, Becca.
What about our plans?
Listen, do you want to get coffee one day and we can talk about this?
Coffee?
Did I fly to Japan to try out their coffee?
No.
Sam.
I just wish you wouldve told me this before I came out here, you know?
Hey man.
Hey, haven't heard from you. Everything alright?
Yeah.
I guess we had plans for tonight, right?
Sorry, I forgot about that. Something came up with work.
Oh.
That's ok.
My girlfriend Ayaka is going out with some friends tonight, so...
Why don't you join her and see the city?
I don't think Im up for -
No, its good for your jet lag.
Go out and have some beers.
Wait, so -
I don't know your girlfriend.
Shell meet you at Hachiko at 7.
Hachi? What?
Its super easy to find.
Its a cute dog statue right outside of Shibuya Station.
Cute dog? Jun, Im new here.
Sorry man, Ive gotta go.
If I can get out early, Ill try to meet you guys out there, too.
Ok?
Ive got the flights to your destination pulled up.
When would you like to leave?
So, what's the earliest flight out?
Can I put you on a brief hold?
Sure, I can wait.
Hello. Hello?
I think I may have lost you.
Oh what? Oh, hey. Yeah Im still here, sorry.
It looks like the earliest we've got back to La Guardia is
tomorrow at 10 a.m.
Tomorrow? 10 a.m.?
Would you like me to book that?
Sure, that works fine.
Alright! We have you booked leaving Tokyo at 10 a.m.
Alright. Thank you.
Oh, you're -?
Yeah, Im Sam. Wait! Wait, where are we going?
Its here?
Give me a second.
Hello.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Im Tomo.
Im Sam.
Ah, order.
Ill get a beer.
How long are you in Japan?
Im leaving tomorrow.
Oh! So soon!
When she goes to the sauna.
What?
When she goes to the sauna, an old lady talks to her.
And if the old lady knows shes single -
shell introduce -
a good man for her.
Wow, that's -
Yeah.
Bizarre.
She hates camping.
But, but try to go camping.
She hates camping, but shes trying to go camping?
Yeah, I don't know why.
But the next day -
when she woke up -
the tent was gone.
The tent was gone?
And she was sleeping.
And she was sleeping?
Naked.
And she was sleeping naked?
Ok.
Is that a joke?
Yeah, its a joke.
Oh, its a joke... Sorry.
What did you just say?
When I was a child -
I pee out.
In the kindergarten bus.
You did what?
Pee out.
Pee out?
Pee.
You pissed?
My pee. My water.
Yeah, and -
everyone knows -
I did. But -
I act -
You acted -
not me. Not me, like that, but
my pants so, so wet.
Your pants were wet? Im sure.
How about you?
Accidentally.
I don't remember. Ive never -
maybe Ive done it before.
Yeah, you did.
Cheers.
Can we get french fries?
Potato?
French fries.
Sam!
She left her wallet at Juns.
Dont worry, I got yours.
It was really nice meeting you guys.
Nice to meet you.
Bye Ayaka!
Ive got to get back to my hotel.
My wallet.
Its that way?
Bye bye!
Ill wait here.
Are you ok?
Oh, hey man.
Hey.
Who was that?
This is yours.
It doesn't work anyway.
Ill give it to her.
Hey -
What?
Have you seen the two of them together before?
The girl back there.
Have you seen her?
I don't know.
Lets forget.
So have you been to this place before?
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Wait, I might have an idea.
Lets try this.
Im leaving tomorrow morning.
You don't have to have your face up to the phone or anything. You can just talk normally.
My favorite movie?
I think Id pick City Lights with Charlie Chaplin.
Do you know it?
Its a really good movie, you should definitely watch it.
What about you? What's your favorite film?
What's it about?
What's your family like?
I don't know what to say about me.
My parents left Iran and moved to the United States after they got married.
Americas a real big mix.
I was born there, but grew up in a very Iranian household.
I don't know.
I think they were strict.
Everything had to be organized.
Perfect.
School was their main focus.
7 p.m. every night, the TV went off and I had
to focus on school work.
I don't know.
I don't have anything else to compare it to.
Sorry, its work.
No work.
Ok?
Yeah, ok, sure.
I don't think I really want to talk about that.
Its complicated.
No, I don't have any photos.
Its just my travel plans.
Something came up.
You know how work can be.
What?
Shes -
Wait, how? Ok, yeah.
Yeah, something like that.
I wouldn't call it a fight.
Actually, we already talked.
It was weird.
We had all these plans, you know?
Something just felt off and Im still trying to process it.
Sorry, I don't mean to drag you down with all of my problems.
What about you?
What are you going to do about Jun?
Are you ok?
That's no fun.
Why would you want to be with him then?
You seem happier by yourself.
I don't agree.
I think relationships are nice.
Having something to look forward to in the future.
Its just nice.
Its comfortable.
So you said you had a feeling Jun was cheating.
And that leads me to ask you something that Ive been curious about all night.
That whole wallet thing.
The wallet thing.
Did you do it on purpose?
Like, to have an excuse to go back?
To a bizarre night in Tokyo.
Whiskey, straight.
No, its not Jun.
I just need some time.
Im not going to survive this.
Sorry, Im going to use the bathroom.
Hello, wheres Sam?
Wait, who the fuck are you?
Where the fuck is Sam?
Wheres Sam?
Excuse me?
Can you please put Sam on the phone?
Please? Do you understand what Im saying?
Excuse me? Do you understand?
Do you understand what Im trying to say?
I don't know who the fuck you are, but can you put him on the fucking phone right now?
Hello? Dont hang up.
What do you mean weak?
That's not funny.
No, Im not answering it. Stop.
Stop.
Hello?
Hey, Sam, are you still with Ayaka?
Can you put her on?
He wants to talk to you.
Can we get 2 more whiskeys please?
Crazy, right?
Im so sorry.
That whole thing back there.
Sorry for what?
Its ok, I didn't understand it anyway.
Yeah, I guess so.
Hey, its not running away.
Im not running away. Its just -
I don't know what to say if I have to face her again.
No, its not the main goal.
I came here with the goal of love. Or something like that.
You know, love.
The absence of worry.
Feeling really good about that thing, whatever it is.
You know, we met back in college.
We had all these plans together.
I knew exactly what to expect.
It was comfortable.
It was all planned out.
But if you're together you have to do that a little.
The last, you know, past few weeks have been weird.
To be honest, when she didn't show up at the airport,
I wasn't too surprised.
Its just -
I didn't plan for any of this.
What about you?
What got you interested in Jun?
You're going to hate this question.
What's your plan?
What are you going to do next?
Sounds good.
Ill wait out here.
Hey, buddy.
Hey Chad.
Im still waiting on that file.
Cant you see Im on vacation?
Hey, hey, hey -
Please, stop calling.
I thought we were getting some beers?
Why are we running?
Did you steal this?
One day in Japan and Im already breaking laws.
Really?
Im gonna take a bite.
Yeah, its really interesting.
Its good.
Its crunchy inside.
Yeah.
Im all ears.
Im listening.
That's so sad, that childhood intuition.
Kids understand so much more than adults think they do.
What did he do?
I'm sorry.
Wow.
Was that the last time you saw her?
Do you wish you could see her again?
Seems like she still wants to see you.
I'm sorry you had to carry that with you.
I thought I told you not to call me anymore.
Look, Im so sorry what just happened. I shouldve told you.
We were so distant. I didn't know what we were really.
What does that even mean?
Why don't we just try to talk about it?
You made me so confused.
You told me you didn't have a girlfriend, Jun.
I know.
I couldn't believe I did that to him.
I need to talk to Sam and apologize.
I think we both owe him that.
Wait, wait, why don't we just -
Run away?
I thought you already did.
Its not as easy as it sounds.
I think you're talking crazy.
What do you want me to do?
Alright.
Wow.
Bravo.
Im not much of a singer. Im just gonna stay as Sam.
Did you just call me boring?
You're Miyuki, right?
Im a smart guy, if you didn't know.
Its raining.
Hey!
Is she your girlfriend?
I mean - yeah, yeah, shes my girlfriend.
Dude, nice.
You know, I had a girlfriend once -
she was from Vietnam, though.
You ok?
I had maybe one or two Zimas tonight -
so Im a little bit, oh.
Im looking to go to drink.
If you guys would like to come along?
I could use some company.
Well.
You know, I know what its like to be a third wheel on dates.
So, Ill leave you guys to it, but -
you don't want to get wet, do you?
Take it.
Thanks, man.
Are you sure?
Where Im going, I don't need that thing.
I got like 5 of them in my house somewhere.
Thanks man, really appreciate it.
Thank you! Have a good night.
Bye.
So you never hold hands, even with your boyfriend?
Touch isnt really your love language then?
Yeah, ever heard of it?
Basically, its how everyone feels and shows love.
Is that not a thing here?
We bring it up a lot back home.
Basically, theres different types.
Like, touch,
uh, touch, words, quality time together.
Um, actions, gifts. Something like that?
See, I like touch.
I like little small things.
Holding hands, someone resting their head on me.
You know, I like all of them, don't get me wrong.
I mean, Becca wasn't much for that either, though.
See, that's your love language.
Wait, you have kebabs here on the street?
That doesn't seem very Japanese.
Have you ever had one before?
You have to try it.
Hold this for me.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you!
This is really good.
Yeah, ok, so this is embarrassing.
But one time, I was in New York City for a wedding.
And there was this kebab truck outside this club.
I was super hungry.
And I was drunk.
Pretty drunk.
Probably the most drunk Ive ever been in my life.
And you know, I could barely hold the sandwich up.
And the kebab spilled all over the ground.
I don't know what I was thinking, but here I was
in front of my friends,
eating the spilled kebab off of the ground of the pavement of a New York City sidewalk.
I know, yeah.
Theres a picture of it on social media still.
I remember waking up with kebab sauce all over the suit I was wearing that night.
I think I still had my shoes on, actually.
Cheers.
How? What was it?
Do you think he forgot your birthday?
If it wasn't signed, how do you know it was him?
How was the kebab?
The music?
No, Im not a performer.
No. Absolutely not.
Are you ready?
Very nice.
Awesome.
Good job, bruh.
I think the trains started back up.
Yeah, my flights in just a few hours.
I had so much fun tonight.
Is this the point in the night \when you leave me for dead in the alleyway?
Ill try to remember that.
Do you wanna use this?
Thank you.
Thanks.
So, its like a wish?
Is that ok?
What did you wish for?
Thanks? For what?
Stay?
Stay.
No baby boy, baby boy, ok?
Hey, Becca.
Hey, did you make it back to your hotel ok?
Im at the airport, and -
Im just, Sam - Im so sorry.
I don't even know what I was thinking.
Maybe its the distance, maybe its the feeling
of being in a different world, but -
You said you wanted to take a week, right?
Maybe we could work things out.
Why don't you stay?
Just -
stay.
