The Change-Up Page #30

Synopsis: Growing up together, Mitch (Ryan Reynolds) and Dave (Jason Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they've slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch's stress-free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies and proceed to freak out. Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave's sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde) and Mitch's estranged father (Alan Arkin). With time

You're Robert Frost.

Who?

It doesn't matter.

God, you're good looking.

Yeah.

I'm going to meet you in five minutes.

All right.

Okay.

I took care

of you guys, huh?

We love you.

Oh... (LAUGHS)

Come on. Really?

Hey, buddy.

I love you.

I love you, man.

How are things going

at home? Good?

Yeah. I mean, come on.

Yeah. Yeah, it's great.

It's fantastic.

Good.

Yeah.

What about you?

What about Sabrina?

Good. It's good.

We're taking things slow, but it's good.

Is it weird that

I miss your penis?

Come on. It would be

weird if you didn't.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(INAUDIBLE)

JAMIE:
What are we doing here?

We're doing this.

Huh?

A little treat

from Uncle Mitch.

Do you remember

how to do this?

(LAUGHING) okay.

Oh.

I know.

Mmm.

(COUGHING)

it's fun,

though, right?

Yay! Let's go look at some fish.

Okay.

MITCH:
Oh, God!

(BOTH MOANING)

(MITCH EXCLAIMING)

SABRINA:
Oh, my God!

Ow! What the hell was that? Oh.

Explain yourself!

You've never heard

of the Bryant Gumbel?

(PANTING) Let's do

that again.

(SABRINA GIGGLING)

Why?

Mitch sent us a video.

Yeah? That's weird.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

No entry!

Steve Driver,

you perfect bastard, you!

(UNZIPPING)

(MONA EXCLAIMING)

Oh, no.

Oh, Steve, it's like

Christmas in my ass!

What are you doing

with my wife, man?

DAVE:
Dimitri?

VALTAN:
Hey, join the f*** party.

Let's make lady sandwich.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

Not very well made, huh?

When was that shot? Who Knows?

Probably years ago.

"Thank you for covering me last week.

Love what you did with my hair."

Hey!

(JAMIE GASPS)

(CLATTERING)

You got with a man?

Dimitri was surprisingly

gentle, and we were very safe.

Uh-huh.

He smelt a little

like lamb, though.

That pooper shot looked real.

No. God, please, don't!

It did.

Oh, God.

Dave?

What?

Can you change my oil?

(CHUCKLING)

No, I can't!

I'm gonna cut my thumbs off

tomorrow, I swear to God.

And we're gonna destroy that thing

first thing in the morning. Okay?

I don't want you to.

I like it.

Hey, hey! Oh!

It's growing in so nicely.

Yeah.

Real in-between phase.

It's like Sonny Crockett

down there.
