What Love Is Page #4

Synopsis: Tom plans to surprise Sara with an engagement ring, and he's asked his four best friends to witness the popping of the question at his place on Valentine's night. Trouble is Sara's left him a "Dear John" letter and will be by soon for her suitcases; plus, thinking it's a party, Tom's friend Sal has invited five women who were at his bar to come too. First the men talk - about women, sex, love, and homophobia (Tom's pals include a happily married guy, a gay man newly engaged, a metrosexual, and Sal, an inveterate player). Then the women arrive and argue in the loo about men and sex before joining the boys for talk, alcohol, and hookups. But what of Sara, and what of love?

but I'm serious.

Every womanizer, every player,

every guy juggling three broads

at the same time

is only doing so out of fear.

Fear of being crushed

by a woman.

'Cause one day, back in the day,

they weren't a player.

They liked one girl, just one.

They gave it up to her,

didn't they?

And they gave it up to her.

They gave it up

'cause they were romantics.

And they gave it up to the girl

they loved, and what happened?

They got rocked or they got

crushed or they got destroyed.

They got cheated on

or laughed at or something.

When they're finished

picking up the pieces

of what was once their heart,

know what they said?

They all, every single

one of them, made a vow.

Never to give it up again.

That's right.

Never to give it up again.

Now we're talking about

the real bastards.

Guys that break hearts

occupationally.

Believe it or not, originally,

those cats were

the most beautiful

and the most romantic of all.

You know what happened?

They're the ones that got hurt

worst of all.

'Cause you never get over it.

No, god, no!

You never get over it.

Yes, you recover,

but you never get over it.

And what happened?

When they all recovered...

You know what they all said?

They all said...

"Okay, I see. All right.

If that's how it's gonna be,

I can play that way, too. "

So you see that

we are all responsible

for the cycle

of the vicious circle.

So you're saying you're afraid?

Absolutely.

I ain't never getting

my heart broken again

like I did when I was 16.

But why? Why do people

hurt each other like that?

Why don't they just take care

of each other's feelings?

It's so easy.

Because people are selfish

and they don't care.

I mean, look,

we've all done it, right?

We've all been in that situation

where we're with another woman,

and we know what

we're about to do is wrong.

We know that if we do

this thing,

it's gonna hurt somebody

we care for so badly.

And it'll ruin everything,

I mean, everything.

All the years of work

that we put into it,

in some cases children,

entire families,

and yet we look,

we've got this

young, hot piece of ass

in front of us.

And at that moment,

we just throw everything away,

and we do it anyway.

We f***ing do it anyway.

We know it's gonna kill our wife

or our girlfriend or whatever,

but we do it anyway.

And that, my friends...

Is why we're all so f***ed up.

Because we do it anyway.

We're thinking the grass

is greener somewhere else,

that the better deal

is around the corner

ready to present itself.

And we forget what good friends

we have right here,

and that the grass is pretty

f***ing nice right here.

But we're not kind,

for the most part, are we?
