Taylor
Aw, I love you too.
Jonathan
No. I mean it, Tay—
Jonathan
I’m in love with you.
Jonathan
Why aren’t you saying anything?
Taylor
You just told me you’re in love with me…
Taylor
2 days before I marry YOUR BROTHER!
Jonathan
Maybe you shouldn’t.
Jonathan
Maybe you should marry me instead.
Jonathan
Don’t you think I’ve tried to ignore what I feel?
Jonathan
All those times you kissed my brother…
Jonathan
God, do you know what it did to me?
Taylor
Seriously, Jonathan!? We’ve known each other forever.
Taylor
And you’re telling me this now?
Jonathan
I know this is bad timing.
Taylor
And the right man.
Jonathan
But he’s not the right man.
Jonathan
Tay, he’s been cheating on you for years.
Jonathan
No, you have to believe me.
Jonathan
Remember that night you called me, crying?
Jonathan
The night Blake claimed he had to work late?
Jonathan
You cooked an entire dinner for him.
Jonathan
And he wasn’t there.
Jonathan
YOU KNEW he was cheating that night.
Taylor
He had a dinner meeting!
Taylor
With a new client he was trying to impress.
Jonathan
Then why didn’t he tell you ahead of time?
Jonathan
Why did it take you calling him out?
Taylor
I shouldn’t have told you about that night.
Taylor
I shouldn’t have called you crying.
Taylor
That wasn’t fair to you.
Jonathan
You always call me when you’re sad.
Jonathan
Ever since high school.
Jonathan
Why do you think that is?
Taylor
Because you’re easy to talk to.
Taylor
You’ve always been there for me.
Jonathan
And I’m super hot.
Taylor
Wow, how is it possible you always make me laugh…even in moments like this?
Jonathan
Just making a point 😉
Jonathan
C’mon. You know I’m hot. My guess? It’s the tats.
Jonathan
Don’t tell me you don’t like my tats.
Taylor
Of course I do! I was there every time you got inked.
Taylor
Except the first time.
Jonathan
Are you talking about Melinda?
Jonathan
My tat of the skull with a rose clenched between her teeth?
Taylor
You named that thing Melinda?
Jonathan
Hey, don’t be casting shade on Melinda.
Jonathan
She won’t like that 💀
Jonathan
You there? I know you’re laughing 😉
Taylor
Maybe I am…but I don’t want to.
Jonathan
Because of Blake?
Taylor
How long has he been with this woman?
Taylor
That can’t be right.
Jonathan
It can if it’s more than 1 woman.
Taylor
What are you talking about?
Jonathan
It’s never been the same woman twice.
Jonathan
But that’s a good thing.
Taylor
You have to be kidding me!
Jonathan
No. It says a lot.
Jonathan
You’re not stupid.
Taylor
That’s how I feel.
Jonathan
You shouldn’t — Blake doesn’t do it to hurt you.
Taylor
You could have fooled me.
Jonathan
He does it because deep down, he knows you’re not the one for him.
Jonathan
Just like you know he’s not the one for you.
Jonathan
If you marry Blake, you’ll have to give up teaching music and stay home.
Taylor
Maybe I want to stay home and be responsible.
Jonathan
Because you always take chances.
Jonathan
I mean, jeez, you jump out of planes for fun.
Taylor
That was 1 time. Okay, twice—
Jonathan
Did I dare you to run barefoot through the park?
Taylor
We were both drunk and you were barefoot, too.
Jonathan
Only because you threw my shoes in the lake!
Taylor
You threw mine in first!
Jonathan
That was a total accident. And you weren’t drunk when you railed on that guy at the zoo.
Taylor
That GUY was mean to the monkeys.
Jonathan
And you weren’t drunk when you marched in that protest.
Taylor
If we don’t save the elephants, no one will.
Jonathan
True. We can’t forget the elephants.
Taylor
Thanks for making my sign.
Jonathan
Thanks for making me chase my dreams.
Jonathan
My parents always believed in Blake.
Jonathan
He was the good twin.
Jonathan
The honor student.
Jonathan
I was always in detention for fighting.
Jonathan
Don’t you remember me and Bill Hicks going at it?
Taylor
I remember you pounding Bill for hitting his girlfriend.
Jonathan
That’s not how my parents took it.
Taylor
They were worried about you.
Jonathan
No. They were worried about my record.
Jonathan
They wanted me to go to an Ivy League college like Blake.
Jonathan
They didn’t want me to be an artist.
Taylor
They had a different future in mind.
Jonathan
Yeah. The same one as Blake’s.
Taylor
They didn’t understand.
Jonathan
No. They didn’t believe in me.
Jonathan
You believed in me.
Jonathan
You were the only one.
Taylor
That can’t be right. You’re a gifted artist.
Jonathan
And you’re a great friend for making me see it.
Jonathan
She is a smart little tat.
Jonathan
You’re laughing, aren’t you?
Taylor
I always do around you.
Jonathan
Good. I like you happy.
Jonathan
It’s all I’ve wanted since Blake brought you home.
Taylor
The first time? Right before prom?
Jonathan
Yeah. Everyone liked you.
Jonathan
Even Melinda and she hates everyone.
Jonathan
You smiled at me.
Jonathan
You tried to get to know me.
Taylor
Why does that surprise you?
Jonathan
None of Blake’s girlfriends ever did.
Taylor
That can’t be true.
Jonathan
It is. Those prissy girls saw a tattooed punk with a black mohawk.
Jonathan
You saw an artist.
Taylor
It’s what you are.
Jonathan
Not until you told me.
Taylor
You would have figured it out.
Taylor
Or someone else would have seen it.
Jonathan
I don’t believe that.
Jonathan
You saw something in me.
Jonathan
And I saw yours.
Taylor
J, this isn’t right.
Taylor
No, us talking like we’re more than friends.
Jonathan
Maybe we should be.
Jonathan
We’ve never actually kissed.
Jonathan
But you kissed my soul when it was broken.
Jonathan
And I kissed your heart each time it shattered.
Taylor
Don’t say things like that.
Jonathan
Because of Blake?
Taylor
Because of a lot of things.
Taylor
I’m marrying your brother.
Jonathan
Don’t remind me.
Taylor
You’re the best man at our wedding.
Jonathan
I know. I just wish I was yours.
Taylor
In a lot of ways you are.
Jonathan
I need to hear it.
Taylor
Remember how Blake freaked out when I cut my hair?
Jonathan
He likes it long and blond.
Taylor
Then why didn’t you stop me?
Taylor
Why did you hand me the scissors?
Jonathan
It was going to a little girl with cancer who needed it more.
Jonathan
I’ve always tried to.
Taylor
What am I going to do with you?
Jonathan
I don’t know, maybe give us a chance?
Taylor
That’s impossible.
Taylor
I have to go through with the wedding.
Taylor
J…I’m pregnant with Blake’s baby.
