Alex & The List Page #8

Synopsis: Alex, a lovable, unassuming dog trainer is in love with a great woman - Katherine - smart, talented, from a good family. Katherine adores Alex's quirky sense of humor, honesty and capacity to listen. Having decided to pop the question, Alex is blindsided when Katherine produces a detailed list of well-thought-out "improvements" she feels will tweak Alex on their way to becoming the ideal couple. Alex instinctively rejects the suggestion that he needs to change anything. But with the threat of a new competitor, Alex decides to "do the list." Guided by a coterie of friends that include: Dave, Alex's loyal childhood buddy, best female friend Lily, her husband Michael, and their 8-year-old son, Nicky, Alex's journey has him reconsider and question his beliefs, values and world.

that life brings

will be even sweeter

because you drink

from it together.

Alex, break the glass.

What are you doing?

I didn't buy the Porsche.

What are you talking about?

It's the cat.

What?

The kitten.

It made me see.

Look...

even if I got a 100 percent

on this list,

it still wouldn't matter.

And there's some

great things on there.

There are, but...

in the end, I'm...

I'm just not a cat guy.

You'll learn to like cats.

I just... I just wanted

to lift you up to this

great life.

I know, I don't want

to be lifted into another life.

Katherine, you see, you...

you've put together

this imagined person

that just doesn't exist

inside of me.

This isn't happening.

This isn't happening.

This is the list

you should give your bashert.

Lily...

what are you doing here?

You called her, didn't you?

Yeah.

She's my best friend.

If I was getting married today,

I wanted her to be here.

You just really can't make

a decision without her, can you?

You-You couldn't even decide

to marry me without asking her.

Katherine,

I just told her to come.

I didn't tell her

we were getting married.

You know, I almost put you

on the list.

You almost put...

I'm sorry.

Katherine...

I hope you find

what you're looking for.

I have something

I need to do.

I'm gonna go with you.

[tires screeching]

[car doors close]

- Alex, hey.

- Hey, hey.

- Hey.

- You're coming for a visit?

We were just gonna go

for a walk.

No, I didn't come for a visit.

I came to tell you guys

I made a huge, huge mistake.

Tucker's my dog.

- Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, no.

- Oh, no, no, he's our dog now.

It hasn't been 48 hours.

You don't have any written or

witness to a verbal agreement.

Legally, you have no standing.

Who is this?

I'm Alex's attorney.

So don't f*** with me.

Alex? Alex?

Shut up!

I know, I know.

Guys, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. Look, I'll get you

guys any other dog you want.

Any kind. I promise.

How about a labradoodle.

She wants a labradoodle.

Yeah.

Done!

[sighs]

Open the door. Open the door!

[Alex snickering]

Look, you didn't get the girl,

but you got your dog back.

And you are now

a well-read, well-dressed,

handsome Jewish man

with sparkling white teeth

who likes football

and knows good scotch.

Huh?

Get in the back.

[engine starts]

[groans]

Whoo!

[woman]

Whoo!

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Nice Australian shepherd.

Oh, thanks.

I like yours too.

Beautiful coloring.

[chuckles]

So...

you're the yeller.

Yeah, I am.

Well, It's nice

to finally meet you.

Well, thanks for yelling back.

You have a lovely resonance

to your yell.

[laughing]

Thanks. So do you.

[both laughing]

I'm Lara.

I'm Alex.

So I see it seems

we've settled down

Quite a bit from

the energy we once had

Oh, believe me

we've settled down

Way down

Way down

Way down

And all we are

Is burning stars

Shining brightly making sure

you don't float too far

I'll keep an eye on you

if you keep one on me

And then

what happens we'll see

And then

what happens we'll see

And all the time it takes

till you've had enough

Has shortened even

in the last couple of years

But so too have

the years themselves

Themselves

Themselves

The years themselves

And all the years fly by

While the clock's

still ticking

All we are

Is burning stars

Shining brightly making sure

you don't float too far

I'll keep an eye on you

if you keep one on me

And then

what happens we'll see

And then

what happens we'll see

All we are

Is burning stars

Shining brightly making sure

you don't float too far

I'll keep an eye on you

if you keep one on me

And then

what happens we'll see

And then

what happens we'll see

And then

what happens we'll see

And then

what happens we'll see

[dogs barking]

[Lara laughing]

Quick! Come here!

Hey.

Come on.

Come and get it.

- [toy squeaking]

- [Lara laughing]

[barking]

[Alex] She's quick.

She's so fast.

Come here. Come here.

Come here...

[barking]

Ow! No!

[laughing]
