A Lot Like Love Page #5

was another choice we came up with.

Gabe the babe.

My point is that there are

10,000 babies born every hour.

That's 254,000 babies a day.

And somebody's got to figure out

where to put all that sh*t.

I wanna be that guy.

10,000 babies an hour.

Wouldn't that be 240,000 babies a day?

Yes.

It was good, Ollie.

You were great.

There was that one little thing,

but it wasn't a big deal.

How about you?

You think it was good?

It's mine.

- Hey, I'm Jeeter. How you doing?

- Hi.

- Hello?

- Ollie?

- Hi.

- Are you still in New York?

Yep. Can you hold on one second?

It's bad reception here.

Found it.

How does it look?

Looks good.

- She was young, huh?

- Yeah.

What kind of flowers

did you get?

Blue.

That's perfect.

Today's her birthday.

Talk to me.

I don't know what to say.

Doesn't matter.

All right.

There's...

There's this kid, okay?

And he's in his backyard

and he's digging a hole.

And the neighbor lady

looks over the fence and says,

"What you doing over there,

little Johnny?"

The kid looks really sad

and he says, "My goldfish died,"

"so I'm having a funeral for it."

And the lady says,

"That's an awfully big hole

for a goldfish."

And little Johnny says,

"That's because

he's inside your stupid cat."

You know, that's terrible.

Thank you.

Final call for flight 701

to Los Angeles.

This flight is now closing.

Excuse me, are you traveling with us

to Los Angeles, sir?

She lives in Los Angeles

and my work is in San Francisco, so...

That's... If this VC money comes in,

we're gonna be swamped anyway, so...

But it's like...

How can I be there for her

if I don't even have

my thing figured out? You know?

I can't.

I was clear with her

right from the top that...

The first day that we met

I told her that I had to have my things,

my work and stuff that...

So you won't be traveling with us

to Los Angeles then?

No.

Okay.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm Jeeter.

- I'm Natalie.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you, too.

In about 24 hours

I'm gonna be rich.

- Really?

- Yeah. You from New York?

- No, I'm from LA.

- Okay. Did I mention I was gonna be rich?

- You did, actually.

- Yeah? - You like that?

It's interesting.

Natalie, what would you do

with 6.2 million dollars?

- Should we check it?

- Check it.

Does it work?

There's a dial tone.

Maybe we should call them.

No. They said Friday afternoon.

It's still Friday afternoon.

It's not Friday afternoon

in New York.

- Seriously, we should call them.

- They'll call.

We don't wanna look desperate.

Hello? Diaper...

It's not... Which?

Hello? There.

Hello? Diaperush.

This is Oliver speaking.

Yeah.

Right.

Right. Okay, so...

We'll talk to you next week.

Thank you.

- We got it.

- We got it, baby!

We got it!

Yes!

That is one special lady.

I'm gonna miss her.

No one can say

we didn't try, right?

- Just need the keys.

- Yeah.

Hey, can I hang on to the key chain?

- They're, like, 25 bucks.

- You serious?

Yeah. Just keep it.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

You need a ride?

Just gonna clear some stuff

out of my office.

This was fun.

- Hey, you come to LA, give me a call.

- Yeah, definitely.

Does the artist ever come in here?

Most days.

You just missed her, actually.

Hi. Back again?

Yep.

Chris!

Not so far.

Just come back. There you go.

You should get one.

That was the plan.

Instead,

I'm almost thirty,

unemployed,

and living with Mom and Dad.

Oliver,

this is your life.

Right now.

It doesn't wait for you

to get back on your feet.

#I guess this time

you're really leaving. #

#I heard your suitcase

say goodbye. #

I...

Don't say anything,

'cause I'll lose my nerve.

#As my broken heart

lies bleeding#

#they say

the true love is suicide. #

#You say you cried

a thousand rivers#

#and now you're swimming

for the shore. #

#You left me drowning in my tears#

#and you won't save me anymore. #

#Now I'm praying to God

you'll give me one more chance, girl. #

#I'll be there for you,

these five words I swear to you. #

#When you breathe

I want to be the air for you. #

#I'll be there for you. #

#I'd live and I'd die for you. #

#Steal the sun

from the sky for you. #

#Words can't say

what a love can do. #

#I'll be there for you. #

You suck!

I know you like Bon Jovi, so...

I don't.

Emily...

I'm flat broke.

I don't have a job.

I don't have a plan.

And I know I'm...

I know I'm probably

6 years too late,

but will you give me strike one back?

You're married.

I'm engaged.

Do you wanna come in?

No. I think I need the air.

I have to get the baby.

I'm sitting for Michelle.

You sound really good.

Well...

I guess when I'm an old man,

I'll never have to wonder,

"What if?".

How long have you had

this place, Ben?

Going on 4 years,

but I still have a lot of plans for it.

I'm sure Em would be happy

to help you with those plans.

I'm sure she will.

This is a phase

I am glad you grew out of.

I don't even recognize you.

Oh, that skirt!

Those are great boots,

you still have those?

Not the boots.

What am I looking for here?

The guy?

- No, not the guy.

- Whatever happened to that guy?

The photos.

They're from before we met.

- Before you and who met?

- Me and Oliver.

- What are you talking about?

- He took them before I even saw him,

so he did make the first move.

Kind of.

- You ready?

- I've got to go.

I'm gonna stop by tomorrow

to help you move.

- Where you going?

- Michael needs a new suit.

I can't let him shop alone.

Tell me. Do I look fat?

Seriously. The pinstripes,

they make me look fat?

This is the seventh suit

you've tried on today.

What should I say?

It's a suit.

- I need some give in the shoulders.

- Yeah, they do alterations. Move.

- Yeah.

- Shirts, huh?

That's a nice shirt.

Look at this one.

Shirts.

Those legs,

they go all the way to the floor.

- Here.

- Socks. Yeah.

- About done here?

- Hold on now.

We don't want our pants falling down

in the middle of "I do."

Nobody wants to see that.

Thought you quit smoking.

I did.

What's going on, Em?

What are you doing?

I'm hungry.

I don't care, you have to wait.

- Mom!

- What?

- Have you seen my tie?

- Did you look in your room?

- Yes. I don't know where it is.

- You better find it.

Is that my tie?

- Mom.

- What?

- Graham took my tie.

- Why did he take it?

I don't know.

Why? Give it to me.

Hi, I've tried this number all morning

and I wonder if you can find out

if there's something wrong

with the line, if it's disconnected,

or if I can make

an emergency breakthrough.

- She's sleeping.

- Okay. Thanks anyway.

Have you packed?

I brought the minivan.

- I'm not moving.

- What's going on?

Ben and I broke up.

Honey...

Are you okay?

Why didn't you call me?

What happened?

I had to do this.

Okay. We are gonna sit down

and we are going to take a deep breath.

It's gonna be fine.

It is so natural to be nervous

before you get married. Remember me?

Don't worry,

Ben is gonna understand.
