The Competition Page #4

---

- Yeah.

And what if I offer a way

to prove your theory wrong?

I don't see how

you'd be able to do that.

Now, hold on,

you're a scientist, right?

So, you know that

a theory is nothing more

than a theory

until it's proven.

So have you actually

tested this theory?

- How could you test it?

- OK. Well, you said yourself

that everybody scores

a 20 or higher

after six months

of dating, correct?

- Yeah, correct.

- So, all we would need to do

is find a group of people

who have been in a relationship

for longer than six months,

and give them

the opportunity to cheat

without getting

caught, right?

I suppose...

Now to keep a close watch

on our subjects,

they would have to be

people close to us.

Like my friends,

or your friends.

Wait, hold on.

I don't understand.

What are you proposing?

I'm suggesting

that you and I

have a little competition.

- A competition?

- Mm-hmm.

I pick five of my friends

who've been in a relationship

for longer than six months,

and you pick the enchantresses

who will be their downfall.

You tempt them,

you challenge them,

you do your worst.

You pick a situation

in which you think gives them

the best opportunity to cheat,

and we will see if

they take the bait.

OK? Best three

out of five wins.

OK, if three out of five

people cheat,

then you have to post

on my blog

and write a forward

to the book

about the competition

and how it all went down,

and admit that,

yes, my theory is correct.

OK,

but if three

out of five resist,

then you've got to post

admitting you were wrong

about the whole thing,

and you gotta shut it all down.

And you have to agree

to be with me.

Like normal people,

no expiration date.

Mm.

If I win,

I get my six months

with you.

Really?

Yeah.

Yeah, if I win,

you still post, admit defeat,

but I get my six months,

and then we end it. Agreed?

Agreed.

Goodnight, Lauren.

You're upset.

- I'm not upset.

- Yes, you are.

Your voice always rises like

three octaves when you're upset.

I'm not upset.

Now you're transgender.

Oh... First of all, how could

you embarrass me like that?

What... You...

You send some guy my way,

who doesn't even...

and why would he...?

First of all,

I know how to find a guy.

Finding them has never been

your problem, sweetie.

I don't have any problems!

You know, I really thought

he liked me.

He does, you idiot, I mean,

why else would he take part

in this... what is it,

like a competition?

Yeah. You're right.

Best three out of five wins.

Oh, I'm so gonna

kick his ass.

How exactly is this

going to work?

OK, so, we have a list

of challengers, right?

And all these people have been in
