My family expects a lot from me. And I

expect a lot from me. I .plan on running

for office some day.

ELLE:

And I fully support that.

WA R N ER:

But the thing is, if I ' m gonna be a

senator by the time I ' m thirty -- I can't

keep dicking around.

ELLE:

I completely agree.

WARNER:

T hat 's why I think it's time for us to--

Elle takes a deep breath, filled with anticipation.

WARNER (CONT'D)

( ot n ig . . · > . ' .

I think we should break up.

Elle's champagne glass drops from her hand and CRASHES onto

the patio.

ELLE:

What?

Elle starts to flush, completely caught off guard.

WARNER:

I ' m sorry, Elle, I just --

ELLE:

You're breaking up with me?!

(tearing up)

I thought you were proposing.

WARNER:

Proposing?! Elle, If I ' m going to be a

politician, I need to marry a Jackie, not

a -- Marilyn.

ELLE:

(stunned)

You're breaking up with me because I ' m

too -- blonde?

WARNER:

T hat' s not entirely --

ELLE:

Then what? My b*obs are too big?

WARNER.

Elle -- no --· your b*obs are fine --

Her tears start.

ELLE:

So when you said you'd always love me,

you were just "dicking around"?

Warner looks around the restaurant nervously.

WARNER:

I do love you, Elle. I just can't marry you.

You have no idea the pressure I ' m under. My

family has five generations of senators. My

brother is in the top three at Yale Law. He ·

just got engaged to a Vanderbilt, for crissakes.

Elle stares at him aghast, tears streaming down her face,

then pushes her chair away from the table and walks out.
