Cyrus Page #2

Synopsis: With John's social life at a standstill and his ex-wife about to get remarried, a down on his luck divorcé finally meets the woman of his dreams, only to discover she has another man in her life - her son. Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, John has all but given up on romance. But at the urging of his ex-wife and best friend Jamie, John grudgingly agrees to join her and her fiancé Tim at a party. To his and everyone else's surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the gorgeous and spirited Molly. Their chemistry is immediate. The relationship takes off quickly but Molly is oddly reluctant to take the relationship beyond John's house. Perplexed, he follows her home and discovers the other man in Molly's life: her son, Cyrus. A 21-year-old new age musician, Cyrus is his mom's best friend and shares an unconventional relationship with her. Cyrus will go to any lengths to protect Molly and is definitely not ready to share her with anyone, especially John. Bef

and I'm gonna go enjoy it,

and I'm gonna come back

and talk to you.

Don't worry.

Dance song! Come on, move out!

Come on, it's good stuff.

Dance party!

Dance party! Look out!

Clear the dance zone!

# # Don't # #

# # Don't you want me # #

Come on!

# # You know I can't believe you

when I say that # #

# # I love Red Bull and vodka!

# # Don't, don't you want me

# # Don't believe it

when you say that you don't need me # #

# # You think you've

changed your mind # #

# # You'd better change it back

or we will both be sorry # #

# # Don't you want me, baby #

# Come on!

# # Don't you want me, ohh # #

# # Don't you want me, baby # #

Come on, you guys!

It's a party!

I guess I'm the only one

who loves a good song.

# # I was working as a waitress

in a cocktail bar # #

Thank you!

# # That much is true # #

Yeah, baby.

# # But even then I knew I'd

find a much better place # #

# # Either with or without you # #

Thank you.

Get up, come on!

# # Don't you want me # #

Come on!

# # You know I can't believe it

when you say # #

What are you guys doing?

Come on!

# # You think you've

changed your mind # #

# # You'd better change it back

or we will both be sorry # #

# # Don't you want me, baby # #

Yes! Yes! Keep going.

# # Don't you want me now # #

How did you do that?

That was crazy.

Ohh.

Do you do exercises

or something?

You're amazing.

You're an angel.

You're a sex angel.

Oh, my God.

You want to sleep over?

Mm-hmm.

Hello?

Hi, Molly.

Hey, it's John.

Who?

John?

From last night?

John?

Just kidding, John. Hi.

Oh, okay.

I'm glad you called.

Yeah. Yeah,

I'm glad I called too.

That was really fun

last night.

Mm-hmm.

And thanks for the note and, um--

Hey, I was wondering if you

wanted to hang out tonight.

Sure.

Yeah?

Great. You want to come

over here then or--

Look, I have to run, but I'll

come over after work, okay?

Okay, sounds good.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey.

Hi.

How are you?

Good, good.

There's a whole custom-prepared plate.

I want yours.

You're a very good cook.

I just decided

to give it my all.

Which is not

the cool-guy thing to do.

I'm not into that anyway.

Okay? Okay.

I'll take your word for it.

I know I'm not supposed to say this,

but I really like you.

Is it crazy for me to say,

like, I want it to work out?

Is that too much?

Am I supposed to be cooler than that?

Oh.

My life is really

complicated right now.

But I'm definitely interested.

Hey. Where you going?

Hey, hey.

I-- I just have to--

I have to go.

Wait. Why do you have

to leave so late?

I just have to-- I have to--

Just call me tomorrow, okay?

Molly, wait. Give me one second, please.

Are you married?
