You Don'T Know

The Irony Behind It.

I'M Glad.

Me, Too.

I Haven'T Seen This

Movie In A Really

Long Time.

It'S One Of

My Favorite Films.

Yeah? No, I Love

This Film, Too.

I'Ve Never Seen It

In A Theater, Though.

Really?

Yeah.

Uh, Should We Go In

And Get Seats?

Yeah.

Woman:
Yesterday,

About 3 P.M.

I Wanted You To Think

About It Twice, Too.

[Romantic Music Playing]

Man:
I'Ve Been Looking

For Someone For

A Long Time.

I Love That Movie.

It Really Holds Up.

Bogart Reminds Me

Of My Dad.

I Met Your Dad Once.

He Seemed Like

A Great Guy.

M.

I'M Sorry About Hi

Yeah, Me, Too.

I Really Miss Him.

I Feel Lucky To Have

Had Him At All, Really.

Now My Mom Has Irving,

So She'S Not Alone.

Yeah. My Mom Doesn'

T Really Date Anyone

Anymore.

She Went Through

A String Of Them

After My Parents

Divorced,

But She Always

Drives Them Away,

On Purpose,

I Think.

I Wonder If We Always

Turn Into Our Parents.

I Like To Think

Of It As Where My

Parents Left Off.

That'S A Great Way

Of Putting It.

Oh, Sh*t.

Nora:
What?

Uh, Nothing.

It'S Just My E

X, Jennifer.

Y.

She'S Totally Craz

Is It Gonna Be Ok?

Hi, Jennifer.

Hello, Charlie.

How Are You?

This Is Nora.

"How Are You?"

How Am I?

I'M F***ing

Great, Charlie.

How Are You?

And Nora?

We'Re Good.

We'Re Good.

We Just Went

To The Movies.

He Took You To See

An Old Romantic Movie.

It'S His Signature

Move, You Know.

My Mom Was--

Can I Talk To You

For A Minute?

Will You Excuse Me

For One Second?

I'M Sorry.

Charlie:
Why

Are You Doing This?

Jennifer:
What

Are You Doing Here?

What Do You Mean--

I Just Talked To You

This Morning.

You Said You Weren' Dating Anybody.

Charlie:
I'M Not

Dating Anybody.

She'S The Daughter

Of My Mom'S Friend.

I Think I Brought

Her Here Because I...

I Was Missing You,

And This Reminded Me

Of Our First Date.

Don'T Touch Me.

.

Hey, We'Re Leaving

Are You Ok?

Look, I'M So Sorry

You Had To See That.

What Happened?

We Haven'T Been

Broken Up That Long.

It'S--It'S Been

Really Hard.

You'Re Actually

The First Person I'Ve

Dated Since Jennifer.

I Think I'M Still

In Love With Her.

I'M--I'M So Sorry.

This Was--It Was

Too Soon.

Um, You Know, I Think

I'M Just Gonna Go.

I'M Just So, You Know,

Out Of It.

Is It Ok If I Just

Put You In A Cab?

Yeah.

I'M Really Sorry.

You'Re So Nice.

Nora:
Men Hate Me.

You Hate Yourself.

No, I Don'T.

Why Do You Say That?

You'Ve Got To Stop

Punishing Yourself

All The Time

For Not Having

A Boyfriend.

Everyone Else Is

In A Relationship.

Why Can'T I

Be In One?

You'Ll Meet Someone.

Just Don'T Go Nuts

Next Time.

It'S Like The Only

Thing That Matters

Is Finding This Guy.

It Doesn'T Even Matter

Who It Is.

Not Every Guy You Meet

Has To Be Your

Future Husband.

Believe Me.

Do Something Else.

Go To Yoga Or Something.

You'Re Right.

I'M Being A Total

Freak.

I Have To Calm Down.

I Love You.

I Don'T Like To

See You Like This.

[Cell Phone Music Plays]

Oh, God. One Minute.

Yeah. Uh-Huh.

Ok.

It'S Mark. He'Ll Be Here

In Two Minutes.

Where Was He?

Mmm. Having A Meeting With

That Actress Caitlin Fox.

Oh, No.

Yeah. She Wants Him

To Direct Her

In A Movie

About Fairies.

Barf.

I Know.

I Don'T Want To Sound

Like A Broken Record.

I Just Feel Like

We'Re Not Best Friends

Anymore.

Do You Talk About It?

Yeah, We Have Been.

He Thinks Everything

Is Fine And That I'M

Just Freaking Out.

I Swear, If He Blames It

On My Hormones

One More Time,

I'M Gonna Lose It.

He'S The One Who'S

Hesitant About Having Kids.

Really?

.

I Didn'T Know That

Yeah, Whatever.

I Don'T Want To

Talk About It.

Let'S Just Drop It.

But I Can'T Believe

You'Re Not Coming

To Miami With Us.

Please Come.

Mark Will Pay.

I Just Don' Feel Like It.

I Just Want To

Stay Here.

Ladies. I'M Doing

The Fairy Movie.
