A Lot Like Love Page #2

---

Look sexy.

Let's see Ollie being sexy.

I like it.

There you go, that's good.

Yeah!

Make love to the tree.

Yeah!

Now give it to me,

give me the camera.

Would you give me the camera?

- Are you done?

- You're out of film.

No.

- How did you shoot a whole roll?

- You're very shootable.

Did I not just say

I'm saving the film?

Hey.

- Did you get the right one?

- Don't know.

- 400 speed?

- I don't know, I just got film.

- Was there change?

- Shut up. Give me that.

I've got to go.

Okay.

- So...

- Don't.

You'll ruin it.

That was...

That was pretty good.

- Pretty good?

- All right, awesome.

Mind-blowing.

Out of this world.

Is that working for you?

- Yeah.

- Yeah? All right.

- Where are you going?

- I've got to work, I'm sorry.

Oh, my God, are you serious?

I thought I was terrible.

Let me just get a pen, hold on.

Honey...

Okay, go ahead.

Is that the Valley?

Okay.

No, am I gonna be late?

Okay, I will, thank you.

Okay, bye.

I got it!

- What? You got the part?

- No, I got a callback, but still!

It's one of those low-budget

independent films, but who cares?

Sweetie, will you just run

my lines with me before I go?

Okay, what do you think?

I don't wanna look too desperate,

even though I am.

What are you doing?

I'm going.

You don't have to go.

You can have 2 whole hours here.

I mean...

I'm going. I'm sorry.

- Martin, please, listen to me.

- Let go, Alexa.

It can't end this way, Martin,

not like this.

You should've thought of that before.

Don't turn your back on me, Martin.

You owe me more than that.

I don't have any more to give, Alexa.

You've taken it all.

- I'm sorry... Look at me, Martin.

- Okay, thank you.

Sorry, I just lost my place.

Emily, it's very, very good.

Just try and keep in mind

how much you love him.

- Martin? - Yeah.

- Okay.

He's the love of her life,

so how would it make her feel,

if he was leaving her?

- Desperately unhappy?

- Exactly.

One more thing.

Keep in mind she's a vampire.

Okay, here we go.

And action.

You're better off.

That's what I think.

Of course she's better off.

Dumps you right before New Year's,

that's awful!

I didn't say anything

while you were seeing him,

but it's always got to be

about him.

I didn't see Peter that way at all.

He could be too nice.

I guess you're right.

But she's still better off.

- She is much better off.

- When it's over, it's over.

- You're coming tomorrow, right?

- She is.

How about a blind date?

I know someone.

- You can't take a blind date

to New Year's. - Why?

It's a blind date.

You don't roll the dice on New Year's.

- You don't go alone either.

- Why not? I'm going alone.

- Well, that's you.

- What does that mean? - Just saying.

The point is, it's New Year's,

and date or no date,

you just don't spend

New Year's alone.

Don't. She quit.

Hi, is David there?

Hi, is Chris there?

Hi, I was looking for Frank.

Yeah, most normal people have plans,

being that it's New Year's and all,

but thanks anyway.

Do you happen to know

if he'll be back later or?

What's your name?

Hello, Martin residence.

Hello?

Hey, hello?

Hi. Is Oliver there?

Yes, just a second.

Oliver!

- Yeah?

- Telephone!

Hello?

- Hello? Oliver?

- This is.

This is Emily.

I don't know if you remember me.

- New York Emily?

- Yeah.

- Hello?

- I got it, Ellen.

Okay, God.

I didn't know, sorry.

What a goofball, huh?

You still there?

Yeah, I'm here.

So what's up?

I was just wondering...

I just came across your number

all of a sudden

and I was thinking to myself...

"I wonder what Oliver's doing."

I know that you're

probably busy tonight,

but maybe you want to grab

a coffee this afternoon.

- Sure.

- Really?

- Oliver.

- I'm on the phone, Ellen.

When you getting off?

I'm expecting a call.

- You've got a pager.

- I can't talk on a pager!

- Ellen, get off the phone.

- You are such a dick!

Get off the phone, Ellen!

Mom, tell Ellen to get off the phone.

- Ellen!

- Hello?

Sorry about that.

You still there?

Yeah.

Where are you?

I'll come over.

- Now?

- Yes. Why don't I come over?

- Hello?

- Hello, it's me.

The gate's broken,

so just give it a jiggle and then push.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Emily.

- I'm Oliver.

You're not Oliver.

That's it? I thought

you'd at least invite him in.

You owe me 10 dollars.

I knew he wasn't you,

you're not that good-looking.

She says you're not that good looking.

- She didn't say that.

- What did he tell you I said?

- I said you were good-looking.

- Told you.

That's what I said. You...

She didn't say that.

She's backpedaling.

- He's a little...

- He's saying you're crazy.

Yeah, I got that.

Did she honk?

Why?

- My wife. I'm going. Bye.

- Bye.

Thanks for the ride.

Have fun.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- You look different.

- So do you.

- But, good different.

- You, too. I like your hair.

Thank you.

I'm still signing.

Why? I don't know.

I'm stopping, okay.

Your brother screen

all your dates?

This is a date?

Can I get you anything to drink?

A tea or a soda?

- I'm good, thanks.

- Just gonna grab a beer.

I can't believe you assumed

this was what this was about.

You can't believe I assumed

that what was about the what?

Because I'm not the same girl

you met 3 years ago.

I mean, I'm the same girl,

but it's not the same situation.

I understand.

I don't need to sleep

with someone

after every stupid breakup

just to prove she's still got it. I...

Yeah.

What are you doing?

I am looking

for your crazy pills.

They have to be around here

for moments like these, right?

That's not funny.

What if I really was crazy?

Have you eaten today?

How can you live in LA

and not have a car?

I had a car, then I sold it.

I needed the capital for my business.

That's right.

The plan! The ducks.

It's all coming back to me now.

Only two and a half more years

until you're rich.

Is your wife gonna live

in your parents' basement with you?

- I don't live with my parents.

- Just visiting?

I was just picking some stuff up

'cause I'm moving.

"Diaperrush. Com"?

That's what it says.

We sell diapers on the Internet.

I thought the whole Internet thing

was done already.

- Just need a good business plan.

- Diapers?

- How's Bon Jovi? Does he still rock?

- Who?

Oh, him. He switched bands

and moved to Seattle.

Nice. Hope he knows how to steam milk

and make chocolate shavings.

Big talk coming from

a diaper salesman.

Okay.

And the latest breakup? What's he do?

Is he a baseball player, a cosmonaut?

- Who said I had a breakup?

- You did.

In your kitchen

during your hypoglycemic rant.

- So? Spill it. Who's the guy?

- I'm not telling you.

Did you dump him?

No. He dumped you.

- I'm not gonna talk about it.

- Okay.

- Then I'm not talking at all.

- You're not talking?

- You aren't getting boo out of me.

- I'm not talking either.

Okay, fine. I'll tell you.

My brother's deaf,

I can go days without talking.

Can we have the check, please?
