- [00:00:00.360]I'm just gonna lay it out.
- [00:00:02.940]This is why I don't think we should be together.
- [00:00:06.320]And I've thought about this a lot.
- [00:00:08.840]And if we're together, this is what's gonna happen.
- [00:00:11.560]I'm gonna keep pursuing what I'm pursuing.
- [00:00:13.840]And it's gonna start to take up more and more of my time.
- [00:00:16.680]And you're gonna start to see me less and less.
- [00:00:18.980]And even when you do see me, I'm gonna be distracted because I'm gonna be thinking about
- [00:00:21.980]drumming.
- [00:00:22.980]I'm gonna be thinking about my charts and jazz music and all that.
- [00:00:26.800]And because of that, you're gonna start to resent me.
- [00:00:29.920]And at some point, you're gonna ask me to ease up on the drumming and spend more time
- [00:00:34.300]with you because you don't feel important.
- [00:00:37.160]And I'm not gonna be able to do that.
- [00:00:39.240]In fact, I'm gonna start to resent you for even asking me to ease up on the drumming.
- [00:00:43.340]And so I'm gonna start to feel like you're dragging me down and you're gonna start to
- [00:00:46.660]feel like you don't matter.
- [00:00:47.660]And it's gonna be very, it's gonna be ugly.
- [00:00:51.360]I think for those reasons, we should just cut it off now.
- [00:00:54.000]-
- [00:00:59.000]Because I want to be great.
- [00:01:00.540]And you're not.
- [00:01:04.000]I want to be one of the greats.
- [00:01:06.940]And I would stop you from doing that?
- [00:01:09.480]Yes.
- [00:01:09.860]You know I would stop you from doing that.
- [00:01:13.480]You know that for a fact.
- [00:01:14.640]Yeah.
- [00:01:15.620]And I would barely see you anyway.
- [00:01:18.720]That's right.
- [00:01:19.860]And when I did see you, you would treat me like shit.
- [00:01:21.880]Because I'm just some girl who doesn't know what she wants.
- [00:01:24.040]And you have a path.
- [00:01:25.520]And you're going to be great.
- [00:01:26.800]And I'm going to be forgotten.
- [00:01:28.320]And therefore, you won't be able to give me the time of day
- [00:01:30.380]because you have bigger things to pursue.
- [00:01:32.340]That's exactly my point.
- [00:01:34.320]What the fuck is wrong with you?
- [00:01:36.920]You're right. We should not be dating.
- [00:01:42.800]We should not be dating.
