Lola Versus Page #4

your seat belt, kitty cat. Don't hiss at me.

With Uranus, the planet of

lightning-bolt surprises...

...you really never know which way is up.

This is going to be a shitty month."

He said,

"This is going to be a shitty month"?

It's the Voice. They write what they know.

- You know, your mom and I broke up once.

- You did?

Yeah, we decided to date other people.

Seemed like a fun idea, but then we realized

that nobody else really compared.

Heh. Uh...

- Do you think that'll happen to me and Luke?

- No. No, I don't. I hate Luke.

I de-friended him on Facebook already.

He's out.

Thanks.

Okay, love, f*** or kill?

Heh, heh. Hilary Duff, Haylie Duff...

...or any of the Fannings.

You realize they're not related, right?

I'm pretty sure they are.

Wait, I think it's "marry, f***, kill."

What's--? How--? How is it different?

Because I think the assumption is if you--

After you're married, that you don't f***.

- Right.

- Yeah.

- I guess I dodged a bullet, then.

- Pfft.

That was--

Ooh.

Wake up.

Oh, sh*t.

You want breakfast?

No. I have to go.

Here, help me. I have no core.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I'm sorry to surprise you like this,

but you didn't call me back.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

I'm really late for this meeting.

I don't think I can right now.

Yeah, but, look, wait, wait--

Please, just wait a second?

What's that green thing?

Oh. I'm cleansing.

I drink it out of this thing.

The potion.

- Does it work?

- Yeah, it does.

That's good.

So I'm-- I've been...

...you know, thinking about things and--

I don't know,

I might have acted irrationally.

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

I'm-- I'm confused.

Are you seriously doing this right now...

...right before I have to go in

and argue about my dissertation?

Sh*t. I'm sorry. I didn't know.

You didn't return my calls.

I've been really busy.

Look, I...

I know this came out of nowhere...

...and I think I was just overwhelmed

by everything that was happening and...

And now I just--

Are you just doing this

because you're lonely?

No.

I just really wanted to see you.

I really...

...have to go.

Wait.

Essentially, I'll be investigating the use

of silence in 19th-century French literature.

- Are you still using the poetry of Mallarm?

- Yes.

I want to really look at his obsession

with the blank page...

...really exploring the ways in which

his verses engender silence.

I would also like to look at silence

in the media and popular culture.

Well, more of the lack thereof.

Just our communal...

...almost deathly fear of silence.

I don't know what I want.

- Should I give you guys some more time?

- We'll be ready in a minute.

Just stand there.

Um...
