Tommy, she kicked you out?

That's unbelievable.

In my day, I would have thrown

her big ass right out the door.

So what do you need? A place

to stay for a couple of weeks?

I can't ask you that. I'll get

a sublet until I find an apartment.

Why don't you go live in a box

in an alley too?

Listen, as long as I'm breathing,

you've got a place to stay.

You stay with me a couple of weeks,

I'll get your head straightened out.

We'll put that romantic idealism

crap to bed once and for all.

But for now, Tommy, I want you

to do yourself a favor.

I want you to go out

and try to get laid.

Nothing heals a broken heart

like a brand-new piece of booty.

Don't listen to him, please.

- The eyes.

- Yeah, I see the eyes!

My name's Tommy Reilly.

I'm 32. From Queens originally.

Are you afraid of getting hurt

in a relationship?

No, you know, I think better

to just go for it, right?

What, you're gonna live your life

in fear of gettin' a broken heart?

It's the price you gotta pay

to potentially be happy.

You said it's over here?

Are you gonna rent that?

Yeah.

Definitely?

Yeah, definitely. Why?

Just wondering maybe you still

hadn't made up your mind...

...between the two.

- Just holding it in your hands.

- No, definitely.

I'm definitely gonna rent this one.

You want this one?

I came for that one.

It's a great movie.

That's what I heard.

I'll just keep looking.

Sorry.

Oh, hey. How're you doin'?

Good. I was just wondering-

have you seen this?

It's really good.

I mean, it's very different.

I'd love to help you out here,

but I gotta watch this for work.

Oh, really. You sure?

They've got a great selection

of other-

Yeah, I know,

but I gotta see this one.

Okay.

There's nothing I can do

to change your mind, then?

Okay. Well, I tried.

Yeah, yeah.

Enjoy your movie.

It's a great movie.

- All right.

- Good night.

Excuse me.

- How you doin'?

- Hi.

I was thinkin', if you want

the video that badly...

...why don't you give me

your phone number?

When I finish

watching it tonight...

I could give you a call

and then maybe bring it over.

No, I don't want to see it

that badly, thank you.

Okay, it seemed like back there

there was some sort of emergency...

...like you needed to

see it tonight or somethin'.

Now you got me feeling like

I'm some kind of sh*t heel.

Like I should've given you

the video back there...

...like it would've been

the gentlemanly thing to do.

Well, it would've been,

but you missed your opportunity.

Then why don't you let me

make it up to you?

Why don't we go in here

and get a cup of coffee?

We could talk and-

Am I coming on too strong?

I just was thinking,

we could get some coffee-
