Shanghai Kiss Page #2

a good person,

by Hollywood standards

anyway.

By normal standards,

I'm a f***ing a**hole.

Do you-- you think

I'm a good person?

Well, I don't even

know you.

Well, the truth is,

I think you're

really cute

and I was compelled

to meet you.

And normally

I wouldn't succumb

to my compulsions so easily,

but I'm trying to embrace

a new philosophy of life

that involves succumbing.

And, I mean, if-- if I

have to succumb,

I'm glad I'm

succumbing on you.

Hey--

Think of this drink as...

as an investment

for the possibility

of mutual growth

in this potential

relationship.

And years from now,

when our daughter jumps

into your lap

and asks you, "Oh, how did

mommy and daddy meet?"

You can look at

this drink

as the best investment

you ever made.

But I-- you know,

I gotta know

if you're really

committed to continuing

this conversation

before I waste my time,

and just go-- be talking

and nothing happens.

I'm Georgia,

by the way.

Ge-- what a coincidence.

That is my favorite

confederate state.

(phone rings)

ANSWERIMG MACHINE:

This is Liam. I'm not here

right now. Leave a message.

(beeps)

Liam, this is Mark Liu

your father.

Where are you anyway?

It's 2:
00 A.M.

You should be at home--

it's dangerous to be

out there, you know?

So many STDs.

I don't want you

getting hepatitis.

Understand?

I hate talking

to machines.

- (bashes machine)

- (beeping)

Do you want

to call him?

Sorry.

You're not a very

rich guy, are you?

What gave that away,

the generic brand cola?

You don't got

a lot of stuff.

So maybe-- maybe

I'm not materialistic.

Did Jesus have

a lot of stuff?

No, but Jesus

was poor.

So, what do you do

for fun?

This is pretty fun.

I mean, you know,

what do you do for...

excitement?

(kisses) Good night.

(sniffles)

(quietly sobbing)

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just

have allergies, you know?

You crying?

Your face is wet.

No, I'm okay.

Just go to sleep.

(sighs)

Sh*t.

Hey, wake up.

Wake up,

you have to go.

- What?

- Wake up,

you have to go.

- I'm late.

- Why?

- Because I'm late.

- Why?

Because I'm late.

I feel like I'm talking

to Helen Keller over here.

You promised me

breakfast.

Uh, there's a bagel

in the fridge.

Knock yourself out.

(sighs)

(car approaches)

- I made you something.

- What?!

See...

I love brownies.

I know, silly monkey,

that's why I made them

for you last night.

Thanks,

that's so sweet.

Oh, what can I say?

I'm a sweetie pie.

Mmm.

Mmm, they're good.

What's that?

"Ecole d'Art."

what is that?

I'm applying to

an art school in paris.

What about Stanford?

Ugh, Stanford

is boring.

What?

That's what you

want to do with

the rest of your life,
