I just said I'm gay, George.

But you're not.

No.

Fine.

So Sally met this chick at yoga...

Hey, you remember that girl we hired

for the Klubendorff' commercial?

Oh, she's hot, buddy.

You should take a run at that.

I've been there.

You've been there been there?

She's my roommate.

Hey, how long have

you known this chick?

'Cause I saw this episode

of the X- Files once

where this girl goes out

with all these different guys

and then she sells their

organs on the black market.

Then he started

asking me all these questions.

Like, am I good?

Uh... yeah.

Yeah, that did come up.

And?

Well...

I realized that I didn't have a lot

of answers for him.

I mean, I don't really know

that much about you.

Well, I come from an island.

It's called the island of heart,

and it's surrounded

by the sea of intuition.

Really?

The days are short,

and the nights are even shorter.

And every dawn, a fresh breeze

blows away the static thoughts

and the dead ideas.

Mmm. Nice.

So I come from the planet Earth,

and my people are stubborn

and set in their ways.

Our ideas don't just

float in on a breeze.

We plant them in the ground

and watch them grow

into big-ass trees with big-ass roots.

I eat dreamers for breakfast.

Yeah, right.

You drink your breakfast from a can.

# Molecules we fall apart #

# And slam together in the dark #

# The dark is where

the change is made... #

I love New York.

# They turn into a deeper shade

of colors me and you #

# In places we can safeguard #

# Where both our fighting world's collide #

# A beautiful electric ride

together mixed with cyanide #

Pow.

# A place that we can both agree #

Was meant for you and me #

# She loves me, yeah, she loves me #

# I believe the light's above me #

# An angel is dancing in my arms #

Hey there.

You in for a tune-up?

I am.

How long have you been here?

Hey, is the room service any good?

How's the food?

Do they turn your bed down at night

and leave the chocolate on the pillow?

All the nice hotels do it.

Hey, Wyatt, just so you know,

the kid and I, we're gonna want our beds

turned down at night

and a chocolate on the pillow.

And I'll take a newspaper

with my breakfast.

Do you want a newspaper?

Make that two.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, kid, you should look into that.

Yeah, right.

- So what's your name?

- Holly.

- Got a boyfriend?

- No.

No?

That's crazy.

A pretty girl like you?

I got a boyfriend.

He's cute.

Is he better than David Beckham?

- Um, that depends.

- On what?

If you like pretty boys with frosted hair.

Jill?

Have you seen my roommate?

Hello?

Lame.

What?

Jill?

Are you asleep?

Uh-uh.

Do you ever think about dying?

Uh-uh.
