Jessie and Toms fights are brutal.
They really go for the jugular.
That is the tradition.
That is not the Valentines spirit, friends.
But it is what happens to Jessie and Tom.
So, in the words of Kate, a florist who knows, Valentines Day can piss off.
How does this life-altering (or at least show-altering) fight come about?
Ill give you one guess.
Did you guess Ben?
Youve been paying attention.
They shake on it this is business after all.
He signs her cast (no one else has done this) and goes on his way.
Shes keeping the particulars to herself.
Remember how Ben said he wouldnt really be around when Jessie was working?
A bubble machine?!
The absolute gall of this man!
He knows Jessie cannot resist a bubble machine.
And so they hang out all day.
Its their Big Chillera.
Those are some real pros and cons right there.
You would think he just spit in her face, she is so offended.
Well, thats even worse.
Shes just a goddamn Helena Bonham Carter to him (some might take that as a compliment).
She feels disrespected and insulted and goes outside to have a cigarette.
While Jessie is fuming outside, Kate comes home.
Things unravel so quickly here.
It is so wrong and unhealthy, and all he wants is to have a real relationship with her.
When she asks Why?
well, that is the last straw.
Thats so fucking selfish, he says, and he isnt wrong.
On Toms way out, he tells her she was right about that.
He tells her it is hard to love her.
She knows she is blowing up something great and cant stop it.
She tells Ben that Tom was jealous of him, but that was stupid, right?
Someone toss some tea on this dude!
Love Notes
Tom was going to turn down the job for Jessie.
He is so deep in this, and he leaves so utterly heartbroken.
According to Jessie, Bens go-to movie would be a pretentious documentary about fonts, and you know what?
What are you doing this afternoon?
Probably going to shame-spiral about my life generally.
Jessies film club at work seems like a hoot.
Of course Id want that.
Dont draw a dick I wanna do that one myself.
