A Lot Like Love Page #5

---

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?

- I met him in class.

- Yeah? You went back to school?

- Acting class.

- He's an actor!

Wow, actors! That's

one rung up from musicians.

He was a writer.

He is a writer.

Hi. Could I get a coffee?

Just very black.

- After you.

- Sorry, go ahead.

- Frappuccino, please.

- All right.

I believe the question was

who dumped whom?

He left me.

- I got it.

- No, I got it.

No, but I appreciate the reach.

The acting classes

are really paying off, but I got it.

Shut up, I got it.

What are your plans?

- Plans for what?

- Tonight. It is New Year's.

I'm not a really big New Year's guy.

- Bunch of amateurs getting drunk.

- Yeah.

- Cringy people wearing those party hats.

- The hats... Lame.

- I know of a party.

- Really? - Let's go.

You've got more clothes in your trunk

than I've got in my whole closet.

Try this.

Nice. Is this Bon Jovi's?

Should I act like I'm some big

Hollywood-producer type or something?

Just be yourself.

Except maybe don't mention

the whole diaper thing.

Hey, Emily.

I've got to ask you something.

- Do you mind?

- Sorry.

What do you have to ask me?

- What was strike one?

- What?

In New York. Strike two was

that I didn't play guitar.

Strike three was that I was born

under the wrong star sign.

What was strike one?

Strike one was

that I had to make the first move.

I got strike one

before we even met?

You can't get strike one

before you step up to the plate.

You drive.

- I introduced myself.

- What?

In New York. I introduced myself.

That's not a move?

- Who called who today?

- I didn't have your number.

You never asked.

You came!

And with a young man in tow.

This is Michelle

and Michelle's fianc, Michael.

Hi. Oliver.

I sell diapers.

- Well, it's nice to meet you.

- Yeah.

- Hello, ladies.

- Oh, my God! Look at you.

- Get you a drink?

- I'm good, thanks.

I think I'll get one.

You are not getting off

that easy.

He's an old friend.

I wish I had an old friend like that.

He's gorgeous.

Come on, give it up.

Very carefully,

I want you to move backwards

in the direction of the bar.

- Hello?

- Ellen, it's me.

What do you want, Oliver?

I'm at this big Hollywood party

and I just ran into
