I'm really happy for you, Matty.

I left a note under her door

to meet me at the park tomorrow.

Guess you guys

should have a picnic.

Jesus, man.

My entire evening is screwed.

Look, I'm not really

that late, brother.

Alex doesn't wait for anyone. Trust me.

I've already left three messages.

Well, why didn't you take a cab?

'Cause I was waiting for you.

I was waiting for my car.

Luke, it's not that late.

Go over there? And do what?

Throw little pebbles up at her window?

She's gone. It's over.

Just forget it.

Maybe not.

I hope, for our friendship,

this is who I want it to be.

Want to see how cool I am?

Three rings.

Hello?

Hey, how's it goin'?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Did you get my messages?

No, I lent my car to my buddy Matt,

and he was a little late coming home.

No, sure. He's right here.

Hold on a sec.

She wants to talk to you.

Fix it.

You have to fix it.

Hello?

He's full of sh*t. isn't he?

Yeah, he's full of sh*t, all right.

Yeah. I knew it.

He didn't lend me his car. I took it.

I stole his keys.

That's good.

Why would you do that?

Because I'm a selfish idiot.

And I had this whole thing

going on that...

I don't wanna bore you with it.

Please. I insist.

Okay.

Well, um...

I was looking for somebody.

A woman.

I wasn't thinking.

Got a little desperate.

Oh. I'm sorry.

No.

I should be apologizing to you.

And I am apologizing to you.

I'm very sorry that I ruined your evening.

Did you find her?

I think so. Yeah.

I found where she lives.

Well. you should go back.

and you should look for her.

I think I will. Thanks.

You're boring now.

Give me the phone.

- Okay, Alex. I gotta go.

- Nice to talk to you.

Nice to talk to you, too.

Bye-bye.

She's nice, man.

Thanks.

Hello?

Okay. Why don't I just--

I'll pick you up at the theater.

I think not so, my lord.

Dear lad, believe it,

for they shall yet belie thy happy years

to say thou art a man.

Prosper well in this,

and thou shalt live as freely as thy lord

to call his fortunes thine.

I'll do my best to woo your lady...

...and yet a barful strife.

Whoe'er I woo,

Alex, what's going on?

What do you mean?

Well, I'm sitting in the audience

and I'm getting nothing.

I figured maybe I'm missing something,

so I come, I take a closer look.

But you know what?

I'm still not buying it.

What the hell's

the matter with you today?

Look, the line, "Whoe'er I woo,

defines your character.

You're in love with this guy,

and he is asking you

to help him get another woman!

You're upset, you're confused,

it's tearing you up inside!

We've gotta see the love,

but we've also gotta see the agony.

You have been in love before,

Yes. Sure.

Oh, good. Well, please,
