Seven Girlfriends Page #3

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.

father that I wanted to be

and run a restaurant

then I needed to focus.

So, no women, no sex of any kind.

- [Marie] Oh, you found it.

- [Jesse] Oh, my God.

Oh, this took 20 minutes.

- [Voiceover] Come on Marie, big wave.

- So, what went wrong?

- Jesse.

- Come on, there's gotta be at

least one thing you remember.

- Alright, one thing?

There was one thing, when

we were driving you used to

sing along to the radio

in this really high voice,

and, it kinda drove me crazy.

- I was singing harmony, that was it?

You shoulda just said something.

- No it was more than that.

I mean there were some

other things, the gifts.

- The gifts?

- You gave terrible gifts.

- No.

Really?

- I don't remember all

of them, but I remember

the three month anniversary.

- Wait a minute, I remember that.

We bought each other the same thing.

We bought each other

that Miles Davis album.

- Exactly.

- I thought that meant we were

both on the same wavelength.

- No, that meant we both

bought what you wanted.

I didn't listen to that stuff.

- Oh.

- [Voiceover] Okay kids, have fun.

- And there was, I mean

I'm sorry these things

are just coming to me.

- No, no, no, no, no.

This is good.

- There was the sex.

- What?

- It wasn't.

You know, the greatest.

- What do you mean?

It was a little rushed.

- But frequent.

I was 17 years old.

- Don't get upset.

- You were the first,

I was, it was practice.

- I'm not saying that

you didn't get better.

You wanted to know why back then

and I just wanted it

to be a little slower,

a little gentler.

I'm sure you're much better now.

- I am.

- I'm sure you are. (laughs)

Jesse, this isn't gonna work.

- [Jesse] Why not?

- Why a relationship didn't work?

That's not a question you

can get people to answer.

- (laughs) You don't seem to be having

too much trouble.

- No, I'm a very honest person.

But usually the reasons a person tells you

they broke up with you are

never the real reasons.

Honey you are my shining star

Don't you go away

- Okay, I'm gonna go to bed.

But first, come here.

- What?

- Come here and let me hug you.

The worst thing about getting dumped

is right when you need someone to hold you

there isn't anyone.

- This isn't weird, is it?

- No.

Is it?

- No.

It's nice.

- You know, I think at some

level I designed my whole life

so I would never have

to be up at this hour.

- Jesse does this every morning.

- Well then I'll give him a raise.

If I don't fire him first.

- Michael!

Stay close.

- Salmon.

Supposed to smell like cantaloupe.

- [Man] Seriously?

- That's what Jesse says.

- Yeah.

- [Hannah] Yeah?

- We'll take this one.

- We'll take it.

Okay, now I'm gonna do everything I can
