Someone Like You... Page #2

Synopsis: Jane Goodale has everything going for her. She's a producer of a popular daytime talk show, and is in a hot romance with the show's dashing executive producer Ray. When Ray unexpectedly dumps her, she begins an extensive study of male behavior to try to find out what makes men tick. Her "research" leads her to become an overnight sensation/guru for single women everywhere. When Jane begins to use her womanizing roommate and co-worker Eddie as fodder for her research, she finds both humor and answers where they were least expected.

to know about you,

apart from your addiction

to processed foods,

much to the chagrin

of your girlfriend?

"D."

- Whom you've been dating now for...

- Three years.

Three...

Excuse me. Three years.

Wow. That's, um...

Huh.

More serious than I...

would've guessed,

you know, off the cuff.

I guess it is.

You think you ever get to the moment

where you just know it's the right one?

That's it.

That's the person you're

meant to be with forever.

Probably.

God, he was cute.

- It's me!

- We're in here.

What's the problem?

Just jab it in.

- Don't rush me.

- What is going on?

Dr. Lipshick started your sister

on injections.

- Of orange juice?

- Fertility drugs, Jane.

The orange is for practice.

For God's sake, Stephen, if you

can't stick it into a Valencia,

- How are you gonna stick it in my ass?

- I'm just a little nervous.

If this isn't done right,

we could lose another whole month.

Oh!

That was supposed

to be my job.

I just wanted to show you

how easy it is.

You know, this is

a very emotional time for us,

and you're sucking the romance

out of the entire situation.

Oh, come on, sweetheart. I think we've

pretty much kissed romance good-bye...

when you started jacking off

into a cup once a week.

Leave my sperm count

out of it!

Chubby Hubby?

Come on, sweetie. I'll look at the

dirty magazines with you this time.

I don't think you should...

Enough about it!

That's great. Just great.

Very nice, Nina.

Very grown up.

At least one of us is.

Good morning.

Don't bother, Eddie.

I already know you're an a**hole.

Hey, you're always complaining

your apartment's too small.

Why don't you

move in with me?

- You cannot be serious.

- Why not?

Come on. All I'm meeting

are hip, successful types.

- I'd much rather have someone like you.

- Gee, thanks.

No, hey. This would be

a strictly financial arrangement.

I've got no interest in you

that way whatsoever.

- What a relief.

- Come on. Is that a no?

Actually, it's a "Thanks, but not

if my life depended on it. "

- Hello.

- You up for a walk?

- What?

- What?

I was just gonna...

I can't speak.

You say something.

No, no, no, don't.

Do you think I'm insane?

Not at all.

I was just thinking how good

my apartment looks with you in it.

Let's start again.

You were eating Cocoa Puffs.

- Right.

- Then a couple cartoons.

- A Tweety Bird and a Road Runner, I think.

- Then some more kissing.

- Right.

- Okay, go on.

We had to get ready for work, so I

walk into the door, and he gave me a...

- Morning, Jane.

- Morning, Les. How are ya?

- Big finale-type kiss

before leaving? - Exactly.

That's good, good, good.

Very good, considering.

- Considering what?
