The Truth About Lies Page #4

Synopsis: Gilby Smalls is having a meltdown. He's just been fired from his job, lost his apartment in a fire and his girlfriend gave him the boot. And it's only Wednesday. Now, at the ripe old age of thirty-something, he is forced to move in with May, his booze-swindling man-obsessed mother. This is the last straw. Gilby's life is bleak until best friend Kevin drags him to a family get-together, where he meets Rachel, Kevin's very beautiful but very married sister. Rachel is the very thing Gilby needs to get his life back on track. Desperate to impress her, Gilby starts to weave a web of lies; one bigger than the next. Now in a sticky mess, Gilby is forced to face the uncomfortable truth about himself before he can find a way out of his very own Lies. The Truth About Lies explores the potent role lying plays in relationships and life with some surprising results!

- Here? Alone?

I don't think so. No, not by yourself.

Then it's cool if I tag along with you two?

No!

No.

- No, but you should stay here.

- So, just stay.

Whatever you want, sis. Just stay? Okay.

You know what? I'm gonna get my jacket...

- for our date.

- Yeah, all right, then.

So, you can...

- Stay.

- Stay here.

- Stay here.

- I guess.

- Hey, a little advice about my sister.

- Oh, yeah, give it to me.

Yeah, so, no matter

how aggressive she gets,

just play hard to get.

Don't fall for it. It's all a test.

Like, don't even kiss her. She'll love it.

She'll go nuts. Yeah, yeah.

- Okay, thanks. Thanks for the tip.

- No problem. Yeah.

- Gilby!

- Help a guy out. Yeah?

Think you could come help

me pick out a jacket, bro?

You know it, sister.

- Okay. Don't do anything.

- Nothin'. Okay, cool.

I want you outta here by the time I'm back.

- You don't mean that.

- Yes, I do.

I want you and your stinking boxes

out of my apartment because

we're finished, Gilby.

Got it?

Huh.

It's...

Hey...

Get the hell outta my bedroom.

I have a huge surprise for you.

- You do? I have a huge surprise.

- No, wait, you go first.

- Can I? I can-I can go first.

- Yes, go, go.

I think I finally found something

we're both gonna love.

I'm all ears.

I don't think you're ready for this.

I-I may need a sip of water. All right.

A tantric retreat.

- Hmm!

- Right?

- Right?

- Right.

Um, like the thing...

Uh, that's a group thing,

though, right?

Mmm, it's a sex thing.

- Well, um...

- I mean, come on.

It's a lot of sex with

me. Or... No, with me.

Um...

Come on. It's gonna...

It'll help our sex life.

That part I'm in on.

If it's the sex with you

and me helping the-the...

Our sex life thing, then yes.

- Really?

- I'm in.

You're not gonna take it back?

- You're really in?

- I'm totally in.

- Babe!

- Put it in the books. We're going.

Do you realize how happy I am?

- That makes me so happy. Cheers.

- Okay. Cheers.

It's not a competition of surprises,

but if it were, mine would win.

- Okay. All right, I'm ready.

- Are you ready? Yeah.

How would you like to

spend three weeks in Paris?

Are you serious?

I'm serious.

- Paris? Yes, please!

- Yes, yes.

- Are you kidding me? When?

- Only a-only a lunatic would say, "no."

We leave on the 15th.

Okay.

All right, but the retreat is on the 18th.

- So, do you... Can we...

- Oh, grr, what do I do?

Do I roll around in the

grass with crazy people,

or do I go to Paris? Grr.

We can push it back a little bit, right?

No, no, I can't, I can't.

I got work in Paris.

I gotta be there for the 15th.

Oh, right, okay.

- This is a business trip.

- Well, no, I-I...

Was that your surprise?
