Kim: Nice to meet you, um, so you are friend with the groom?
Michael: Since pre-school actually…
Kim: Oohhh, that’s really cute.
Michael: Yeah.
Kim: [cell phone rings] Can you just excuse me… “Hello, yeah, um I’m coming. Right now. Bye.” I’m with three friends that want to leave since we got here… would you… wait? I’ll be right back.
[leaves]
Kim: Having a crisis are we?
Michael: Do I look like I’m having a crisis?
Kim: Everyone I know is having a crisis. I know you’re not supposed to get them until mid-life but I think something is happening to our metabolism.
Michael: Our metabolism?
Kim: [nods] Yeah, I mean the world is moving so fast now, we are all chasing something so fast that we start freaking out long before our parents did. Feel my heart.
[puts his hand in her chest]
Kim: Feel how fast it is?
Michael: …that’s a fast heart.
Kim: ‘Cause we don’t ever stop to breathe any more…
[takes his hand off her chest]
Kim: You gotta remember to breathe or you’ll die.
Kim: And don’t worry ’cause crises… crr… crisises?
Michael: I think it’s “crises.”
Kim: Right… like I said, crises, they come and go.
Michael: Sometimes… sometimes they don’t really feel like they are going anywhere.
Kim: You having a permanent crisis?
Michael: I don’t know, maybe… just I’ve been thinking about my life lately. Everything feels pretty planned out, you know?. It’s like I know everything that’s gonna happen. There are no more surprises.
Kim: That is so boring.
Michael: [laughs] I know.
Michael: I was never in a fraternity. I was much too serious.
Kim: Oh, I bet you were 29 even when you were 19.
Michael: Put it this way. If I had to do it again, I’d do it knowing that after you graduate no one ever gives a fuck what your GPA was.
