After Sex
# And my world is love #
# It's only magical #
# It's a beautiful life #
# When my fevered head #
# Felt the world in it #
# It's a beautiful life #
# By the road I'd lay #
# And often hear it say #
# Sew the wounds
of your life #
# Throw your TVs out #
# Buy the ring and shout #
# It's a beautiful life #
# Yeah #
# It's all here #
# My beautiful #
# It's your
magic carpet ride #
# We're all #
# You're the only one #
# For the rest of my life #
# As my body quits #
# I feel your world in it #
# It's a beautiful life #
# Life #
Oh, God.
Easy, easy,
easy, easy.
Cramp! Cramp!
Cramp! Cramp!
Fu-- F***ing top five.
That was f***ing...
top five.
So what are you saying?
Are you saying women
have it easier than men?
Look, all I'm saying
is that you guys...
women have one
certain luxury
that us men
just do not have.
Oh, yeah?
And what is this one luxury,
might I ask, baby?
Let me get my breath,
and I'm gonna tell you.
I'm gonna spell it
out for ya.
How do I know it's gonna
be pure genius?
Fine.
No matter how I say this, I'm
gonna be the f***ing a**hole,
so I'm just gonna come out
and say it, all right?
Sweet!
This whole
equality thing...
is crap.
God, you've got
a gift for delivery.
It's bullshit.
Look, just hear me out.
All I'm saying is that
you and I are not equal.
Sure, we all slave away
at our dead-end
stupid-ass jobs
just like each other.
But there's a difference:
the luxury.
The one luxury
that we do not have.
And?
It is not okay for us
to be dependent
on someone else.
What?
Exactly that.
You can work
your ass off.
You can go to college,
get a degree,
and get a job
just like me.
But what I can't do
is say "F*** it"
and choose to depend
on someone else.
Only women
have that right.
If I do it, I'm a bum
or a gigolo.
If you do it,
you're a housewife.
Or even better yet,
a domestic engineer.
Give me
a f***ing break!
You're right.
I know.
You're the f***ing
a**hole.
Come on.
Where are you going?
To flush down
your demon seeds.
You know, it's incredible
to me how someone
who appears to be so smart
can be so f***ing dumb!
Yeah, well, you're
just pissed off
that you know
that sh*t's all true.
F***ing hamstring.
Whatever.
Tell me that it's not.
Whatever!
Yeah. You know.
Kiss my ass.
Why is it we always get
into these heated discussions
right when we're done
having sex?
Maybe because
I'm left unsatisfied
and need to take my
frustrations out somewhere?
That's not what you were
screaming a couple of minutes ago.
Yeah? What was
I screaming, big guy?
"Oh, Chris, stop.
Chris, stop.
Oh, stop! Chris, please
don't stop." Shut up!
Ow! You just
hit me in the balls.
Good.
You deserve it.
Sit down.
So...
So...
When do you think you're just
gonna come out and say it?
Say what?
How deeply in love
with me you are.
In your dreams.
Baby, it's all right.
I know.
Christopher, could you
be more full of yourself?
I could.
I just choose to keep
my arrogance toned down
around women I'm giving
the hot beef injection to.
What are you,
in third grade?
What, you don't like
"hot beef injection"?
How about my one-eyed snake?
My Dodger dog?
My giggle stick?
You're impossible.
I'm cheap and I'm easy.
Tell all your friends.
Do you ever stop?
I'll stop when you admit
your everlasting love for me.
Well, then you better get
comfortable, Mr. Giggle Stick.
Oh, I'm good.
Okay.
Good.
Seriously, Leslie.
I know that...
you have
feelings for me.
Where is this
coming from?
I mean, I thought we were
just having fun here.
Isn't that what you say?
We're friends who f***.
I'm being serious here.
Like, why is that
so hard for you to admit?
'Cause we're friends,
Christopher.
That's all we ever are,
that's all we'll ever be:
friends.
I mean, look at us.
It would never work.
You're way
too fast for me,
and I'm way too
demanding for you, and...
And I like the way
things are.
Don't you?
I just thought...
Never mind.
What? No, never mind. You're right.
You couldn't
handle me anyway.
Excuse me?
three times, if I'm not mistaken.
Is that what you call handling?
Yeah.
'Cause I was taking it
easy on you.
I send broads
to the chiropractor.
God, if only your dick
was as big as your ego.
If it was, I wouldn't
be able to walk around.
And neither would you,
for that matter.
Anyway, I don't
hear you complaining.
That's because you never shut up
long enough for me to get a word in.
You love my dick
as much as you love me.
Oh, shut up!
You know what I think?
Uh-uh, but I'm pretty sure
you're gonna tell me.
I think that you're the one
who's in love with me
and you're just projecting.
Yeah, that's it!
No, I'm ser--
You're trying to get me
to admit to loving you
because you're too much
of an insecure p*ssy
to just come out
and admit it.
Well, you've obviously put
a lot of thought to this.
Actually, no. It was just this
brilliant realization that came to me.
Are you saying that...
given the extreme
unlikelihood
that I actually did
have feelings for you,
that if I were
to make those known,
that you would then
step to the plate
and acknowledge your
undying love for me?
I'm not letting you
off the hook like that.
Like what? It doesn't work
like that, Christopher.
Love is not negotiable.
Oh, baby,
everything's negotiable.
No, not love.
Not love. Love is...
a guessing game.
And that's the beauty of it.
There's no guarantees.
It's like...diving
into a pool of water
without knowing
if it's shallow or deep.
And sure, yeah,
if it's shallow,
you end up hurt and
paralyzed from the neck down.
But if it's deep...
you know...
It's a leap of faith.
It's like throwing yourself out
there without any guarantees, dude,
and that's what
life's about.
Okay, you know
those carnival games, right?
And you know how some of them
are really hard to win
and some of them are super easy
and everyone wins?
Sure.
Well, it's just that
that's the difference
between love and sex.
Sex is the game
where everyone
wins a little prize,
and no one goes home a loser.
And...love is the game
that's really hard to win.
But if you do,
and you get to take home
that life-sized
stuffed rhinoceros,
than taking home
that shitty little
plastic key chain.
Hey.
Yeah?
You've got a f***ed-up way
of explaining sh*t.
I mean...f***!
Good night, Christopher.
Good night.
# She's a little bit cold,
she's a little bit bold #
# How it feels #
# To be #
# Someone out of control,
life's taken its toll #
# When you wanted to see #
# The edge of the universe #
# You want to #
# You need to #
# Surrender #
# Surrender your heart #
# With your life #
# With your soul #
# Surrender #
# Surrender to me #
I love you.
I love you, too.
I'm not gay now,
am I?
I don't know.
Did you like it?
