- Hm?

- Well, you got a tan line there.

- Oh. Long engagement.

Oh. It's over?

Yep. Very boring. Not of interest.

("Big Girls Don't Cry")

- Hey, what's wrong with that?

- Wait, wait, wait.

I'm celebrating my second anniversary.

Of my divorce.

Oh.

Yeah, very boring. Not of interest.

- Would you please find a station?

- I'm looking for a song.

Our song, if you must know.

So, we've graduated to "our", have we?

About two hours ago. I wish you'd

keep up, Julia, if this is gonna work.

- Figured it out?

- Yeah.

Oh.

So, whaddaya think? You know, us.

- Do you think we have a future together?

- Pff.

Good. Me too.

A que lejos queda el carro?

- Como unos diez minutos,

- Gracias,

- What'd he say?

- He said about another ten minutes.

- You don't speak Spanish?

- Uh-uh.

A very romantic language.

Necesito una toalla,

- That's pretty. What's that mean?

- "May I have a towel?"

Oh. Be still, my beating heart.

You gotta love the language.

- Is that cologne?

- Black Flag. Great aftershave.

You know, it's manly,

and as you can see, not a bug in sight.

- What do you think?

- Not bad.

("No se tu" by Luis Miguel on radio)

- Breakfast?

- Most important meal of the day.

,, que me diste

Y el momento

que con besos construiste

No se tu

Pero yo te busco en cada amanecer

Mis deseos no los puedo contener

En las noches cuando duermo

Si de insomnio, yo me enfermo

Thank you.

Me haces falta, muchas falta

No se tu

Well...

You know...

I mean...

("All Shook Up" by Elvis Presley)

- The seat belt...

- All right?

I'm in love

I'm all shook up

Ow. The handbrake.

Well my hands are shaky

and my knees are weak

I can't seem to stand

on my own two feet

- The car. We're rolling.

- Oh, I know.

The clutch.

- Just show me where your clutch is.

- On the car.

My tongue gets tied when I try to speak

My insides shake like a leaf on a tree

There's only one cure

for this body of mine

That's to have that girl that I love so fine

She touched my hand

and what a chill I got

Her lips are like a volcano that's hot

I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup

I'm in love

I'm all shook up

- Ouch!

- Hi.

Good morning.

- This is, um...

- Kevin.

- Dan.

- Nice to meet you.

- Kevin's a sitcom writer.

- Yeah. I write for, uh... I write for sitcoms.

It's nice to meet you.

Here's today's schedule, Julia.

- I'll see you inside.

- Great. Thanks.

- Who's that? Your boss?

- Oh, it's like being caught by your dad.

- It's bad enough they patronise me.

- You know what to do?

You're full of advice, aren't you?

Best thing to do, when people

try to patronise you, is yell. Shout.

Let me put it on. Really.

Speak louder than they do.
