Summary
“Seriously, MJ,” Jay continues, turning to partially address the camera behind him. “You’re not—I don’t think I’ve ever seen you talk to a girl out in public or anything, like, successfully—”
“The fuck is your problem, Jay?” Matt hisses under his breath, side-eyeing the camera. “What—why would you say that?”
“Because you have no game, man! And it sounds to me like this whole plan is relying on us having game!”
Jay bets Matt he can't bring a girl back to the apartment before him. Don't ask how this is supposed to help them book a show at the Rivoli.

Summary
Two key truths had remained constant for Jay McCarrol since his childhood: one, Matt was always there; and two, Jay had no real sense of direction in his life.
On the rare occasions in which he had allowed himself to reflect on it, Jay had always ended up reaching the same conclusion: a change in number one must be the key to changing number two.
After experiencing a timeline without Matt at his side and making the decision to go back to set things right, though, Jay realizes how much he values the life that they have together, and it finally occurs to him that maybe the purpose that he’s been searching for his whole life has been right there in front of him the entire time.
Or, Jay decides to propose to Matt.

Summary
“You sounded like you wanted to punch him.” There was no judgement in voice, not even curiosity. He was speaking matter of fact, pointing out something he had observed with no indication of how he felt about it. The few inches that Jay had on him meant that Doug was forced to look up at him as he scanned his face for an explanation, a little bit of guidance. Up close he could see that Jay needed to clean his glasses and he yearned to do it for him. He wanted to reach up, carefully pull them off from his face and wipe the grime away as best as he could with his shirt. He would have done it, if all the wind hadn't just been knocked out of him.
“Jay.”
“I’m not asking you to do that to me.” Jay uncurled Doug's hand and turned it over and for a moment he looked like a palm-reader. What could he see? What secrets was he trying to discover? He traced his finger across a particularly deep line across the middle and took a small, shaky breath, one that Doug might have missed if they weren't standing so close together. “You just need some help relaxing. I think I can do that.”

Summary
“I met a dental hygienist that was wearing a dog collar when we first got here, we danced and then he gave me a mint from a little baggy. It made sense that he’d carry those around, but then…” He just shrugs.
“Oh, Birdie,” He laughs, but it’s desperate, like a cry for help from the bottom of a well. “Was it - minty?” His voice sounds three octaves too high.
“I couldn’t tell. It’s so loud in here.”---
Matt and Jay plan to enthrall the Rivoli’s new booking agent at a gay club. Jay accidentally takes ecstasy thinking it's a breath mint, and Matt is subjected to torments previously unique to the trenches of WWI. It's going to be a long, long night.

Summary
The upward spiral is maybe the closest thing we can experience to heaven – a kind of heaven on Earth, which we feel in moments of total selflessness and falling in love. They're really the moments where you feel yourself turning into something else. – Caroline Polachek
Here, when I say I never want to be without you, somewhere else I am saying I never want to be without you again. – Bob Hicok

could ruin everything, could make me somebody new by accoutrement

Summary
Through everything, there's an overlay of I want to take his hand, that's so stupid. It's dark here, he could kiss me and nobody would have to know. Is he rough with himself – would he be rough with me? Could he be loud for me? Could I shut him up? It makes Jay feel like looseleaf paper falling out of the sheaf, mixed up with no context, can't figure out where anything gets put back.

Summary
Oh, no. Oh, fuck, no — it couldn’t be. Memories flashed, mockingly: Pete calling Matt his girlfriend, Jay watching red-haired Peanuts girl walk out after Matt popped out of the closet, how good it felt to make Matt admit he’d do anything to keep Jay around — the feeling that he got when he looked at Matt, when Matt offered to get him dinner, like they were a married couple or something — like they’d lived together for years, which they had — oh, fuck. It couldn’t be Matt. Anyone but Matt.
“So, like.” Matt grimaced. Jay had been staring at him for kind of a while. “I’m kind of just holding this water, here, and—”
“I think I’m in love with you,” said Jay.

Summary
"Matt," Jay asks. "Where are we going, exactly?"
Matt doesn't look up from the folded paper in his hands.
"Dude. Relax."
There is no relaxing Jay. The bus eventually stops in front of a squat beige building with a flickering sign that reads "Lakeshore Motel & Conference Suites". There is no lake in sight, and these rooms don't even look to be suites. Jay sighs.
Matt stands up immediately, rushing off the bus.
"Matt," Jay says, stopping him for a moment.
"What?"
"Why are we at a hotel?"

"I'm from the future," Jay says at last.
That's not possible, is Matt's first thought but he clamps down on it because this is Jay, and Jay is wandering Spadina, and Jay is also here in his room. So. Something impossible is now possible and it may as well be time travel.
"You're a time traveller." Matt giggles. "Holy shit. Holy shit. How did you—? No, never mind that, what am I thinking. Do you have a sports almanac on you? Any winning lotto numbers?"

Summary
The burning in Jay’s face is enough to make him itchy. He can’t identify the emotion behind it. It’s indignation and it’s mortification and it’s a new word ending in -ation no one has ever felt in history before called ‘Matt is talking about having a shitty girlfriend and that’s me’. He keeps his tight fists at his sides and his jaw clenched and Matt holds his gaze but he breathes like Jay just sent him for a race. And maybe Jay wants a race now.
It's 2008. Matt's a little bit drunk. Jay's a little bit high.

OR: How CoverBand!Matt beat death and got his Jay back.
“It’s nice to be Bird again.”
“Aw,” Matt says affectionately. “Kinda homo.”
“C’mon, Matt, it’s 2026,” Jay protests, clearly bristling.
“Exactly! It’s 2026! Can’t a man call his old friend a bit of a homo in peace?”
“It’s just that you’re ruining the, the nice moment,” Jay shoots back, his voice hitting a whiny pitch.

Summary
Jay wants to be somewhere else, back home with the space heater at his feet. The stadium is miserable, his chair is hard and small, and his lower-back pain is flaring. He's relieved that he was able to convince Matt against more hamburgers, narrowly escaping a pickle-flavored kiss. Speaking of, Jay watches the couple on the big screen smile and wave goodbye, replaced by a bright advertisement for concessions.
"We might be next!" Matt says, turning his head close to yell in Jay's ear.
What if Matt didn't eat all those Wahlburgers?
