Better Off Single Page #7
Beyond that though, you've
got an even bigger bugaboo
- since you're also
not having sex.
- You're the one who said he hates small-talk.
- He's got a point.
If you're not having sex,
you don't have
the proper confidence.
Without that, you're sunk.
Oh, so I should just
have sex then.
- Yes. -Without question.
Easy as pie
- as soon as you do one simple thing.
- What's that?
- Lower your standards.
- Unbelievable.
Don't look at me like that.
It's downright
insulting to women
if you don't try to have
sex with them.
She may say no, but at least
she gets the pleasure
of having to have
to give you the old Heisman.
- Oh, my god.
- Look no one knows why this is.
Men are f***ing disgusting.
How a woman
could even be with a man
- is a miracle to us all.
- Hetero guys for sure,
but let's face it, all guys
lose their sense
of mojo without copulation.
- Stupid, but true. -Bingo! And
this is not rocket science.
This is man-woman, part-part,
plug-and-play.
You don't think
she's very smart?
Fine, but she's attractive?
Have sex with her.
You don't like her politics,
her taste in shoes,
her pronunciation of her name,
her inability to read,
speak in complete,
fully-formed sentences,
load dishwasher,
pass f***in' gas... but you
think she's kinda nice,
have sex with her.
Have sex with her and a few
other chicks like her.
Then walk into
a date with a woman
you actually do like
carrying a brand-new mojo.
The confident, "I have sex
all the time, mother f***er,
so get up on this dick" mojo,
then have sex with that chick...
I don't know.
What I do know.
We will all be a lot happier
waiting in this line next week
talking about something other than
your f***ing lacking-sex-life.
I know this is hard to hear.
I get it.
But that's why I'm tellin' you.
We love you.
All right? We love you, Charlie.
So just listen up.
Hey, so we're not having brunch
but listen to
the advice from this guy.
- Hmm. -You give the
best advice ever.
Mmm!
Look, Charlie,
just be nice to these women.
Okay? Embrace them
for who they are.
Right. Straight
outta sing sing.
- Oh!
- Ha! Found it!
- Oh. -What's vodka
without limes, right?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Cheers.
Vodka tonics
and I are like...
Oh, I only had soda.
I hope that's okay.
It's fine.
It's fine.
It's just fine.
Soda's just fine.
Your apartment's nice.
- Thanks.
- Yeah. Sure.
Um, I bet you get really
nice light in here.
- Hmm. -And you had a
low broker's fee.
Um, Charlie...
Are you okay?
Fine. Fine.
You are just fine.
You are just motherfucking fine.
Don't be conflicted.
Don't be weird.
You go in there, you drink
your vodka-goddamn-soda,
you take that woman's
clothes off,
and you get your mojo back.
Oh, hey.
Mary, it's kind of dark.
I can't really see you.
Don't worry, tiger.
I've got you covered.
Ha-ha!
Like that.
- Oh.
More personal than
intercourse, my ass!
make that request, anyway?
Yeah. Excuse me,
but I am not aroused
by triggering my gag reflex.
- No woman is a f***ing sex slave.
- No more crap about semen
- being good for your hair
or your skin, either. -No.
It's not good for anything except
for when it comes out your dick,
- it's good for you. -Can you
believe the son-of-a-b*tch
- ate asparagus last night?
- Oh, my god!
- Asparagus.
- You sick f***!
What is pineapple juice
beneath you?
I'm sorry, but I like it.
It's delicious and refreshing.
It doesn't make
my p*ssy taste bitter.
- Maybe you enjoy demeaning women.
- I wax my f***ing p*ssy
and you can't wax
your f***ing dick!
No, you can't wax your dick.
- You enjoy demeaning women? -F***ing
blowj*bs and television sports!
- You motherf***er! TV is all you care about.
- That's all you care about.
Nobody cares about
your f***ing fantasy teams.
- Turn it off and take out the trash!
- Turn it off.
- Oh, Christ.
Do you know how many
"do-not-answers"
- I have this week alone?
- No, I don't. I don't.
Corinne Makinen, do not answer.
Julia Cunningham, do not answer.
"Blind date girl,"
"hot coffee chick"
Internet dates 13-37... wanna know
what comes up when they call?
- "Do not answer," betting.
- "Do not answer." Yeah.
About the only phone call I can
take these days is from my mom.
All she ever want to know is
when am I gonna get another job?
Sh*t, man.
Even when you call
all I can ever think about is the
happiness that you've found with Kathy.
- Thanks, man. -And about
how, one day, I'll die
having never found
that kind of love myself.
Okay, we're gonna
stop this conversation
but, I gotta say,
relationships are hard.
The one thing I'm not
gonna do is sit here
and listen to how easy
everybody else has it.
I've said this before,
but I'm gonna say it again.
You gotta quit tryin'
so god damn hard.
Treat women like basketball.
No more no-look passes
through traffic trying
to get the easy layup.
Let the game come to you.
Play good defense.
Limit your turnovers. Get the
open look of the broken play.
- Hit the shot. -I'm like a one-armed
wilt Chamberlain out there.
Okay. No. You may be right.
I'm no expert.
Instead of coming up with a solid
game plan aimed at victory
it's probably better
to complain instead.
I'm sorry, man.
I know you're right.
You know?
- I just...
- No, look. I get it.
I do. Look,
I feel for ya.
I'm really glad that we had
this little talk, but, uh...
If it's okay with you...
How 'bout I get married?
It sure has been a long time.
Congratulations.
Thank you. I'm sure they'll
have many happy years together.
Now, you two,
don't be strangers.
You're not gonna get
away from us just yet.
Not without us first seeing that
young lady friend of yours.
Oh, yes! We haven't seen her tonight.
What was her name?
- Angela.
- Angela! That's right.
- Such nice hair and skin.
- And so sweet.
- Just go.
- Hey!
- Where can we find her?
- Okay. Okay. -I'm sorry.
Would you excuse me?
- Guys, no! -You know, you
have "resting b*tch face"
- but I have something for you.
- You arrogant punk.
- I will throw you out on your ear!
- Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey. Fellas, fellas.
We are at a wedding.
A wedding of two people
we love very much.
Which is why we are
going to keep our heads.
Just for one day, hmm? We're
gonna have a very nice time.
We're gonna enjoy this wonderfully
generous open bar, okay?
I'm sorry, sir. Could you please give Mr.
Tucker another drink?
Here you go.
And...
We're gonna apologize.
Now, that's what I'm
That's a wonderfully hospitable gesture.
Wouldn't you say?
Adorable!
What is wrong with you, Brice?
You don't think he's adorable?
You're a member of the wedding
party, for Christ sake.
You can't avoid an all-out brawl
by, what, your third drink?
- F***er sat in my chair.
- He sat in your chair?
He's the father
of the goddamn bride.
All right. Whatever.
He should know better.
