Re-imagining of Capistrano's "Phonetically Speaking, This Could Be The Best Day Ever (The Happiest Day)" for the 10 Year Anniversary of the first Capistrano EP, "If There's Another Ice Age, We'll All Chill With The Wooly Mammoths".
lyrics
Skylar: I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life...
Will: I don't love you.
* * *
Will: So, when did you know, like, that she was the one for
you?
Sean: October 21st, 1975.
Will: Jesus Christ. You know the fuckin' date?
Sean: Oh yeah. Cus' it was game six of the World Series. Biggest game in Red Sox history.
Will: Yeah, sure.
Sean: My friends and I had, you know, slept out on the sidewalk all night to get tickets.
Will: You got tickets?
Sean: Yep. Day of the game. I was sittin' in a bar, waitin' for the game to start, and in walks this girl. Oh it was an amazing game, though.
Sean: I just slid my ticket across the table and I said, "Sorry guys, I gotta' see about a girl."
Will: I gotta' go see about a girl?
Sean: Yeah.
Will: That's what you said? And they let you get away with that?
Sean: Oh yeah. They saw in my eyes that I meant it.
Will: You're kiddin' me.
Sean: No, I'm not kiddin' you, Will. That's why I'm not talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar twenty years ago and how I always regretted not going over and talking to her. I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy. I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick. And I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell don't regret missin' the damn game.
* * *
Sean: Do you feel like you're alone, Will?
Will: Hah, what?
Sean: Do you have a soul mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Somebody who challenges you.
Will: Uh, Chucky.
Sean: No, Chucky is family, he'd lie down in fucking traffic for you. I'm talking someone who opens up things for you, touches your soul.
Sean: You can't have a lot of dialogue with them. You can't get back to them.
Will: Not without a heater and some serious smelling salts.
Sean: That's what I'm saying.
* * *
Will: Yeah, but this girl is like, you know, beautiful. She's smart. She's funny. She's different from most of the other girls I've been with.
Sean: So, call her up, Romeo.
Will: Why? So I can realize she's not that smart, that she's fuckin' boring? Y'know--I mean...this girl is like fuckin' perfect right now, I don't wanna ruin that.
Sean: Maybe you're perfect right now. Maybe you don't want to ruin that. I think that's a super philosophy, Will. That way you can go through your entire life without ever having to really know anybody.
