[claire]
uhm, what is this?

[jason]
oh, come on. a childhood memento
let’s put it there on the shelf

[claire]
how ‘bout the back of the pantry?

[jason]
my brother made it himself

[claire]
good thing your brother doesn’t live here

[jason]
hey, do you think we could clean out some of the stuff in your closet?

[claire]
what stuff? didn’t we make room for all your things? look, your drafting table fits perfectly over there

[jason]
honey, what is all this old junk? do you really need it?

[claire]
just things i want to hold on to

[claire]
oh, come on. old birthday cards, ticket stubs, i’ve never even seen you wear this sweater

[claire]
i want to keep it, okay?

[jason]
hey, let’s take the day, just unpack
we’ll both be given more sp-ce
once everything is in its place

[claire]
oh my god, jason

[jason]
what is it?

[claire]
you kept this?

[jason]
of course i did

[claire]
top ten things to do in new york before you leave it

[jason]
the cover story in this magazine
i threw it in the trash

[claire]
and i said, “go retrieve it
nine of those things are things you’ve never seen.”
number ten, eat a bagel

[jason]
that’s the one i’ve done

[claire]
number nine, root for the mets

[jason]
does this go on?

[claire]
all the way to number one

[jason]
number eight insists we go to brooklyn

[claire]
to see where they make beer

[jason]
number seven calls for

[claire]
trapeze lessons

[jason]
she grabs my hand, and suddenly we’re at the pier

[claire]
they’ve got a tent set up right by the river
this whole circus thing, who knew?
you go in a cl-ssroom for an hour and they show you what to do

[jason]
then, one at a time, they make you climb so high into the air
and as i go up, it’s hard not to throw up
but i’m trying

[claire]
every week we pick a number
and work our way on down the list

[jason]
broadway shows

[claire]
botanic gardens
a tour of city hall

[jason]
there wasn’t one we missed

[claire]
number three describes some cooking cl-sses
at the inst-tute francais

[jason]
i’m allergic to the french, you know

[claire]
he makes a face
i sign us both up anyway

[jason]
she’s got a knack for flipping over omelets
she becomes the teacher’s pet

[claire]
meanwhile, he’s got yoke stuck in his egg whites
and he’s getting quite upset

[jason]
i am not upset
i’m simply letting breakfast stir my soul

[claire]
so he can’t cook

[jason]
but honey, look. i’m trying

[claire]
in my head i draw a map that shows the whole entire city
i put a mental pushpin at the places where we laugh
like number four, that fancy store

[jason]
the salesman who ignored us

[claire]
or number two

[jason]
the zoo

[claire]
and that giraffe

[jason]
it was fun you know, to see the city
i would do it all again
but that was what, a year ago?
and all those places, well
we haven’t been since then

[claire]
i remember when we finally got finished
the number one thing to do
i hadn’t been to central park in ages
so i’m soaking up the view
we’re just standing still
the city’s silhouette against the sky
and i think, “why can’t this moment last
instead of slipping into the past.”
i want to keep that moment with me all of the time
and heaven knows that i’m –

[jason]
hey, let me be your tour guide this time. i know exactly where to find number eleven

[claire]
i’m trying
