You can't be serious.

This is exactly the type of place

she can't stand.

These are exactly

the kind of people she hates. Hi.

And you're one ofthem.

No, you can count me out.

This bet's totally absurd.

Well, you should have thought of

thatyesterday. Afraid you'll lose?.

Ned, haveyou considered how

this is going to affect other people's lives?.

- Mulife, for example.

- Won't change that much.

You can come visit us

at the cabin anytime.

$50 a nassau.

Ten forbirdies.

Sandies are greenies.

I feel lucky today.

Well, sign.

Forget it.

Uh, you're chickening out.

Don't push me.

You're reneging on our agreement.

Am I to understand

thatyour handshake means nothing?.

It's time to teach

this guy a lesson.

[ Scoffs ]

Don'tyou wanna know

who Eleanor is?.

Come on. Aren'tyou just

a little bit curious about number three?.

- I am trying to play golfhere.

- She's right over there.

EleanorLarimore.

You're gonna love her.

She's classu.

She's beautiful.

[ Taulor]

She's an alien, right?

No, she's a human. All three women

are humans. I have a heart.

She's married.

[Ned Chuckles ]

- You're not playing fair today, Ned.

- It's a bad marriage.

- It's a bad marriage. Trust me.

- No, no, I don't.

Never have. But that doesn't matter.

I always win anyway.

You did read the fine print, didn'tyou?.

Because I have to admit...

you're being a greatsport

about this.

How will I know

that they accept your proposals?.

Videotapes.

[ Chuckling]

[ Taulor]

We have all this rain up in here.

Then we have this lowpressure--

[ Rewinding]

We have all this rain up in here.

Then, we have this low pressure front,

sweeping down--

We have all this rain

up in here.

Then we have this low pressure front,

sweeping down--

Sweeping down

from the north.

Sweeping down from--

I'm a perfectionist.

Hey, I don't try to be this way.

And it's really rough

on the women I know.

It's like there's

this critic on my shoulder.

Troubleshooter, really.

[ Chuckles ]

Example:

Say she's a cat lover.

All I hear is him screaming,

""Say good-bye to navy blue."

Hey, don't get me wrong.

I don't wanna grow old alone.

I love kids.

I certainly love women.

But I'm no Casanova.

I'm just trying to find a woman

to get past the critic in me.

My housekeeper.

Great cook.

[ Beeping ]

Who knows?. Maybe one of Ned's choices

might be the perfect woman.

Wouldn't it be great

if it was the blonde?.

Good evening, sir.

Hereyou go.

Thanks.

Okay, here we are,

Saturday evening, 7::00.

I've given Erin

a lot ofthought...

but mostly about strategy.

I can't touch her, because

ifl touch her, I'll jump her.

And ifl jump her,

I'll lose her.

Every man wants to jump her,
