The Voices Page #2

Synopsis: Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is that chipper guy clocking the nine-to-five at a bathtub factory, with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton). However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path.

You answered

your own question, Jerry.

Why are you smiling?

We're gonna conga tomorrow.

- Conga?

- Yeah.

You know, like at a wedding.

It's gonna be amazing.

Conga?

Hey, buddy!

Oh, Bosco, what a day!

What a day!

I wish you could've been there!

Did you f*** the b*tch?

I don't have to answer that.

And you'll never f*** her either,

because you disgust her.

- Shush!

- Yeah, shut up, cat.

- She's from England,

- Jerry.

In her eyes,

you're a ridiculous peasant.

Oh, oh, yeah.

Guess what.

I'm not a peasant,

Mr. Whiskers. Hmm?

I'm thinking that this is a real

good time for a walk, Jerry.

I think that's

a fantastic idea.

You're out your league.

She drinks tea in carriages

and fucks men

Not Jerry Hickfang.

- Go choke on a hairball.

- Cat hater.

Come on, Bosco.

Let's go, buddy.

Come on.

Okay, I'll tone it

down a little bit.

You have

the greatest hair, Tom.

In the back.

It's awesome.

Shift's over, Jer.

- Jerry.

- Hi.

Fiona.

You said I should come by

Accounting sometime.

- I did?

- Yeah.

When we were getting

ready for the picnic.

No, I-I don't recall

saying that.

Hi, Jerry.

I'm Lisa.

Accounts Receivable.

Jerry.

Packing and Shipping.

Some of the Accounting chicks

are going out

for a couple of drinks

if you wanna pack

and ship out with us.

Oh, yeah.

That sounds... yeah.

- Let's go.

- Yeah, let's go.

Okay.

Ugh.

So he looks me in the eye

and he says,

"Let's move to America, Fi.

Let's get married. "

So, after I've sold

everything and moved,

that's when the knobhead decides

that he's not the marrying type.

Aw.

Yeah, six months later,

he marries Jill.

Now they've got three kids and I'm

stuck in this stupid temp job.

I think it's time

to move back home.

I know karate.

Thanks for coming out, Jerry.

It's cool.

Do you want my last

Krunchy Choo-Choo?

- I only had a bite.

- Yeah, sure.

Hey, can you give me

a ride to my car?

Or, just home, you know.

- Sorry.

- Um...

You're giving a ride to Fiona.

No, no, no, no, no. It's okay, Jerry.

I've got a lift.

- So...

- I don't mind, Fi.

I'd love to, uh,

give you a ride.

Okay.

So, you...

you're... okay.

I can just get a cab.

- What are you doing this weekend?

- I was hoping on...

There's this cool Chinese restaurant

that I wanted take you to.

- Shi Shan.

- Chinese?

Yeah, but it's more than just

egg rolls and fortune cookies.

- Do you wanna go?

- When?

On Friday night.

I'll pick you up after work.

No, it's... it's all right.

I don't need a lift.

Or just meet there, then?

The show starts at 7:00.

There's a show?

A show, yes.

More than just a show.

The best spectacle

in the world.

- You'll love it.
