Seven Girlfriends Page #2

Synopsis: Jesse is charming, romantic, and he knows how to pop the question; he just can't face marriage. So, when he and Hannah split up during the same week that a former fiancée dies, he decides to figure things out. He visits each woman about whom he's been serious to ask what went wrong. His teen flame, an independent woman who sometimes sleeps with him, and a group of lesbians give him advice, as does Anabeth, dead but lively in his dreams. One ex remains furious, but with the help of her inventive colleague, the level-headed insomniac Laura, Jesse even gets to talk to her. It's on to Anabeth's funeral, where he'll see Hannah, and maybe grasp what has been eluding him.

- She's asleep.

- Can I help you?

- Marie, it's Jesse Campbell.

- Jesse?

- Hi.

- Oh, my God, I haven't

seen you in 18 years?

- Why didn't things work out between us?

- What?

Jesse.

Oh, what's the matter?

Jesse, what's the matter?

You can go back to bed.

- You're sure?

More.

(sighs) Now what is going on?

- Someone I love very much died.

I'm on my way to the funeral.

- God, I'm so sorry.

- And there's something else.

I'm in trouble.

I can't get a relationship to work.

(sighs)

- Jesus, Jesse I thought you had a

hit-man after you or something.

- No, no, no it's much worse.

- Jesse.

- Now, look, I'm 36 years old,

I've been trying for what, 17, 18 years

and I'm so f***ing bad at it.

- Calm down, okay, just relax.

Now, I don't want you to

take this the wrong way,

if you need help I will,

well, of course I'll help you.

But why exactly did you come here?

- You were the first, my

first real girlfriend.

- That was forever ago.

- It'd be a start.

- (scoffs) We were teenagers.

- Yeah, but if you could think back.

- What are you gonna do,

ask every girlfriend you've

ever had why things didn't work out?

- Uh, huh.

- Jesse, you can't do that.

Trouble sleeping honey?

- Yeah, a little.

- I'm sorry.

- It's alright.

- I was her age.

- She looks exactly, I

She's you.

- And about about as mature.

I mean do you remember what I was like?

Do you remember what a

16-year-old girl is like?

I mean she can't concentrate

on one thing for more than

two minutes at the same time, that was me.

I don't even know what you saw in me.

Did you finish the application?

- No, I'm gonna finish it in the morning.

- Hey, you told me it was almost done.

Did you set an alarm?

- Yes.

(playful jazz music)

- Queen of clubs.

But it's a club.

(sighs)

- [Bartender] Chocolate egg cream?

- Yeah.

- So, you and Jesse?

It's for real this time?

- Oh, yeah, absolutely,

are you kidding me?

It is.

- I'm sorry.

- You know sometimes I think you have

the right idea about all of this.

Doesn't it get lonely?

- Yeah, it does.

- [Hannah] I mean, it's been two years.

- Three years.

When Heather left I just thought if I
