- Oh, Kat. You wouldn't do this to me.

- Al...

Thanks for the haircut.

It's a whole new me.

- So how'd you do it?

- What?

- Set up Al?

- I didn't.

Come on. I know

you were in on it with Kat.

I wasn't.

- Have you, uh, slept with her recently?

- No, have you?

- Nah.

- B*tch.

- But you still want her bad, though, don't you?

- To tell the truth ...

She's too much trouble.

After all this,

I could never trust her.

I'd be looking behind

my back the whole time.

She scares me.

I think I should be with

somebody more like you.

Really?

Yeah.

I don't think I've ever talked to a woman as much

as I have with you and it not end up in bed.

You know?

If you're lucky, Reilly, you might

have a lot of first times with me.

- This isn't a game, is it?

- I don't play games.

- Play pool.

- This could be a whole new approach.

Becoming friends first

and then, y'know, f***ing.

- Hey, you got some nice legs, Vic?

- Yeah, you like those?

Yeah. I do.

I really do.

You play your cards right, they can be

wrapped around your back in 10 minutes.

- What would I have to do?

- Don't say a word.

I'm mute.

- What was that about?

- What?

Oh. Look, you didn't cure me.

I'm not sick.

I'll always swing both ways,

and I got a soft spot for redheads.

So do I.

- How was that?

- It was alright.

- Let's get outta here.

- Ok

So, you wanna get your stuff?

- And take it over to my place?

- No.

No? Uh, what do you mean?

No.

I thought that with Al out of the

way, that we would be together.

Did I say that?

You didn't have to say that.

Your body said that.

Okay. I get it. I get it.

You got what you wanted and

now you're gonna play me.

- So, who is it? Is it Vic? Is it Reilly?

- No, it's not like that, okay?

It's none of them.

I need to be alone. You understand?

So, after all of...

everything I did for you

- All I get is a kiss?

- What, what happened to you?

What about all that sh*t?

Hips, tits, lips, all woman? Power?

- Use it?

- You stop it!

You do not throw my f***ing

words back in my face! You used me!

I didn't take anything

from you, okay?

You told me I could trust you,

that you didn't need anything from me

And in the end, you treated me

just like everybody else, alright?

YOu got what you needed.

You took from me.

So don't play the victim.

F*** you!

F*** you!

YOu don't have to f***ing throw

people away like this! You don't do this!

Hey, what's up

with the ketchup?

Big Al was a great f***.

I mean, it was great

Until it wasn't.

Don't get me wrong,

when we first started going out,

it was exciting, y'know, dangerous

He was funny, sexy, wild,

made me feel safe. Protected.

But he couldn't

protect me from himself.

Big Al could've gotten me almost anything in the

world, but "almost" isn't good enough.

Y'know, life is like sex. If you want

done right, you gotta do it yourself.

Going out with Big Al ..

made me realize that the

best feeling in the world ...

is taking care of number one.

And that's me.
