Come on. Come, come.

Um, these guys aren't

drunk enough to hit on Brit.

Let's scare her up

a man.

Chick dancing, guys? No.

I'm not--

Hey, you're hot.

Have I seen you

someplace before?

Yeah. Yeah, you have.

- That's why I don't go there anymore.

- Yeah, totally!

Yeah.

Hey, where are you going?

Don't be so picky.

Stupid guys.

Stupid $11 drinks.

Hi. I'm looking

for Britney Brooks.

Look, the rumors are false. I'm not

looking for The L Word type action.

I'm so sorry it's late.

It's just-- It's my boyfriend. I--

It's okay. Come on in.

I'm a convenience store--

always open.

Rick is just

the most amazing guy.

I mean, he's so kind

and caring and sensitive.

And his body,

it's just sick!

I mean, he does yoga.

His Downward Dog, it's just--

it's just legendary.

I mean, I'm treating him like

dirt right now, like icky dirt,

not like that fancy, nutrient-rich

dirt that they sell at Home Depot.

Can't I just break up

with him in person?

It's a bad idea. Look, men

are genetically programmed...

with an ability to convince us that they can

change when we're just about to dump them,

that the second chance will be different

than the 12 others we've given them.

Listen. As an independent

third party,

I will be completely immune to all

his charms, pleas and pathetic cries.

I'm the break-up artist.

It's what I do.

Thank you.

How do you handle this business?

I mean, it's gotta be so depressing

dealing with everyone else's misery all day.

Strong humans like me have a duty to

help people who actually believe in love,

the ones who make tissue

and Prozac a necessity.

Plus, I never take

my work home with me.

You couldn't be anything else?

- Oh, you'll see.

I'll be back before you know it.

- I hope so.

Oh, my love, I shall miss you

every moment when you're gone.

I love you, sweetheart.

Hey, come on.

All aboard if you wanna get there.

Thank God you're here.

We thought you left with

one of those creepy club guys.

I even watched the news this morning

to see if they found your dead body.

Your 1:
00 just canceled. They said

they found another break-up service.

Probably another freelance dumper.

They never last.

You don't mess with the best,

and that's Britney Brooks.

She always talks about herself

in the third person.

Tiffany hates that.

Uh, excuse me.

I'm waiting for someone.

Rick, right? Britney.

Look, uh, Sally,

she thinks you're a great

guy and she loves you,

but, well, she's just

not in love with you.

So, that's why she's

breaking up with you.

Uh--

- It's not you. It's her.

No, it's-- it's me.

I should have treated

her better.

The truth is, I never really felt
