My Best Friend's Girl Page #2

Synopsis: Dustin, an amiable guy, is in love with Alexis, a coworker. When she tells him she just wants to be friends, he hires his roommate Tank, a fast-talking, amoral scoundrel who has a side business: men whose women have dumped them hire Tank to take their ex-girlfriends out on the date from Hell, to drive the women back into their old boyfriends' arms. He takes out Alexis who, against her better judgment, decides she needs some randy fun, so Tank is in a quandary: take Alexis up on her offer, or stay true to his friend. More complications ensue as the wedding of Alexis's sister approaches. Tank seeks advice from his father, Dustin pursues Alexis, and questions of self-worth need answers.

- I'd like that.

Yeah, I'd like that too. All right.

I'm so glad you called. All right, bye.

Told you.

I just show them the difference...

...between what's in the hand

and what's in the bush.

You have mastered

the female psyche.

To get them to run,

I make them think that I'm sh*t.

To get them to come,

I make them think they're sh*t.

Either way, you're the a**hole.

It's what I do.

Sorry.

All right.

Look at you, all white and thin.

I bet if I laid you on this bar,

she could snort you.

Listen, beauty queen.

I know people are concerned about

you because you're dangerously thin.

But I'm not one of those people.

Yet I am concerned.

That you've had too many drinks...

...and your fingers are in this bowl

like it's one of your sorority sisters.

These pretzeled devils,

far from complimentary.

I mean, baby,

get your head in the game.

Nothing tastes as good

as looking good.

- That is just...

- Excuse me.

Are you psycho? I mean,

how can you even begin to talk to...?

Easy, Urlacher.

Ever notice it's the linebackers

concerned with people not eating?

If the p*ssy police here would

stop ordering her fries tempura...

I just had a child.

Congratulations.

I'm sure he was probably delicious.

Looks like you

downed the whole thing.

You're an a**hole.

- You really are an a**hole.

- Then walk away.

- Let me just go get my purse, okay?

- Get cigarettes.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Take me. Take me to your house.

Take me right now to your house.

- Hey, guy.

- Tank, hey. Tank, this is Renee.

- Yeah. Come here.

- Renee, Tank.

- Hey, okay. Two seconds.

- Talk to me for a second.

- Yeah, I'll talk to you all night.

- All right.

Didn't I just save your ass?

I just cleaned up your bed...

...and you're shitting in it again, okay?

Aren't you getting f***ing married?

I am getting married...

...but not tonight.

- Renee. Renee, there she is.

- Josh.

There she is. She's all mine.

I have to work tomorrow.

Everybody's gotta work tomorrow.

It's Tuesday.

Good one.

I have a strict no-sleepover policy.

Yeah.

Come on, Tank, it's almost 5.

For some people that's not tonight,

it's tomorrow.

I hate those people.

Sh*t.

Dustin? Yeah, five minutes is fine.

Okay, bye.

- Dude. What the sh*t?

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I told you this was happening. As

of now, I'm training for the marathon.

Goal:
Run, don't walk. Nothing wrong

with a little bit of discipline.

By the way, you should try it.

You need discipline

like I need to miss my period.

Seriously, you're already, like...

...a crazy, insane, OCD alpha-dog...

...cyborg crazy creature.

You mean, I have a job?

And now you're gonna wake me up
