A Lot Like Love Page #3

---

Sweetie, will you just run

my lines with me before I go?

Okay, what do you think?

I don't wanna look too desperate,

even though I am.

What are you doing?

I'm going.

You don't have to go.

You can have 2 whole hours here.

I mean...

I'm going. I'm sorry.

- Martin, please, listen to me.

- Let go, Alexa.

It can't end this way, Martin,

not like this.

You should've thought of that before.

Don't turn your back on me, Martin.

You owe me more than that.

I don't have any more to give, Alexa.

You've taken it all.

- I'm sorry... Look at me, Martin.

- Okay, thank you.

Sorry, I just lost my place.

Emily, it's very, very good.

Just try and keep in mind

how much you love him.

- Martin? - Yeah.

- Okay.

He's the love of her life,

so how would it make her feel,

if he was leaving her?

- Desperately unhappy?

- Exactly.

One more thing.

Keep in mind she's a vampire.

Okay, here we go.

And action.

You're better off.

That's what I think.

Of course she's better off.

Dumps you right before New Year's,

that's awful!

I didn't say anything

while you were seeing him,

but it's always got to be

about him.

I didn't see Peter that way at all.

He could be too nice.

I guess you're right.

But she's still better off.

- She is much better off.

- When it's over, it's over.

- You're coming tomorrow, right?

- She is.

How about a blind date?

I know someone.

- You can't take a blind date

to New Year's. - Why?

It's a blind date.

You don't roll the dice on New Year's.

- You don't go alone either.

- Why not? I'm going alone.

- Well, that's you.

- What does that mean? - Just saying.

The point is, it's New Year's,

and date or no date,

you just don't spend

New Year's alone.

Don't. She quit.

Hi, is David there?

Hi, is Chris there?

Hi, I was looking for Frank.

Yeah, most normal people have plans,

being that it's New Year's and all,

but thanks anyway.

Do you happen to know

if he'll be back later or?

What's your name?

Hello, Martin residence.

Hello?

Hey, hello?

Hi. Is Oliver there?

Yes, just a second.

Oliver!

- Yeah?

- Telephone!

Hello?

- Hello? Oliver?

- This is.

This is Emily.

I don't know if you remember me.

- New York Emily?

- Yeah.

- Hello?

- I got it, Ellen.

Okay, God.

I didn't know, sorry.

What a goofball, huh?

You still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

So what's up?

I was just wondering...

I just came across your number

all of a sudden

and I was thinking to myself...

"I wonder what Oliver's doing."

I know that you're

probably busy tonight,

but maybe you want to grab

a coffee this afternoon.

- Sure.

- Really?

- Oliver.

- I'm on the phone, Ellen.

When you getting off?
