to tell you something

since you got here,

if you haven't noticed...

Unsuccessfully

for various reasons.

Jon is a very

interesting person.

Yes, he is.

And if you don't want

to listen to me,

believe me, I understand.

Well, you were right.

I missed your childhood.

I missed you growing up.

I... I just...

I didn't pay attention.

But, see, now I...

I wake up in the morning,

and your mother isn't there.

And then I go to the office,

and I look at this business

that I have spent

so much of my life

and so much commitment

and sweat and time

just trying to build it up,

and I look at it.

It doesn't look like much.

I call you.

You don't respond.

You... you don't call me back.

I mean, I just... it's like

I'm talking to a stone.

And I think, well,

see, I don't understand that.

What... what have I done?

What terrible crime

have I committed

that you would treat me

like that?

You see, Ian...

I didn't understand.

I... I didn't.

I didn't understand till now...

How much pain I've caused you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I just want you to know

it was not your fault.

You are not to blame.

It was me.

I... I didn't solve my problems.

But I want you to know,

that I love you...

My son.

I...

No, I... I get it, dad.

It's okay.

I get it loud and clear.

[Horn honks]

Oh. yeah.

Oh, god! Ian...

Ian:
who the heck is that?

Ian...

That's your secretary?

Yes, it's my secretary.

What's she doing here?

Well, ok, that's something else

that I was going to tell you.

What? Katherine and I

are getting married,

and we would like you

to be our best man.

Katherine:
Richard.

Uh...

Richard?

Hi.

I think he's stunned.

Happily, I hope.

Nice to meet you again.

Congratulations.

[Fire alarm beeps]

Oh, no, he's not cooking, is he?

It's actually on fire. Sh*t!

Richard:
oh, my god!

Ian:
be careful. Be careful.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

No, just put it in the sink.

Put it in the sink!

Richard:
get some water.

We'll douse it...

I know what I'm doing. Please!

I'm gonna...

I know what I'm doing!

Oh, god!

[Laughing]

Richard, I told you not to cook.

I know. I thought I could help.

I guess that means no breakfast?

Yeah, no breakfast. Oh, god.

Ian:
it's unbelievable.

Well, this sucks.

This really sucks.

Who's that guy?

Well, you might ask.

[Honks]

Jon:
how's hans?

Oh, f*** off.

You ok?

Yes.

You know,

if you weren't such a jerk,

we could have had

a great weekend

getting to know each other,

skiing, taking pictures,

but instead

you treat me like air,

and you force me

in the arms of that...

Maniac from...

From wherever he's from.

New Jersey.

Shut up while I'm talking.

At least he recognizes

a woman has emotional

and spiritual needs

beyond the purely sexual.

You understand me?

Yes.

If you want me

to care about you,

it's going to take

more than a Mercedes

or that worn-out line of yours

about discovering supermodels.

You have to focus

your attention on me

and make it about me.

You got that?

Yes.

Because I'm

the kind of girl you marry.

Ich liebe dich.

How could I know

I'd feel this way?

How could I know

that one fine day

You'd be mine?

I had searched

my whole life through

Just to find

I'd been waitin'

for someone like you

someone like you

someone like you

someone like you

I had some dream,

some fantasy

Of who that someone would be

I've been so blind

up till now I couldn't see

That all this time

you've been standing

right in front of me

Someone for me

someone for me

someone for me

now every day

and every night

I get to be

with one so right

So good for me

I can't believe

that this is true

Now, I can see

that my heart

had been holdin' out for you

Someone like you

someone like you

someone like you

someone like you

someone like you

someone like me

someone like you

yeah.

Why does it always

have to be about sex?!
