Getting Played Page #8

- OK.

- I'm leaving, all right?

- Shh!

I'm gonna cancel the skins.

I'm 100% behind you.

Look at me. Here I go.

Like hell I'd miss this.

Everything OK?

Oh, just perfect.

Hurry up, she's back.

What happened?

I don't know. She just, like, took off.

How's your food?

Oh, it's fine.

I mean, I'm sure it is. It always is.

How's yours?

- Couldn't be better.

- Good.

- Mark...

- Emily...

Oh, I'm sorry. You go first.

- No. You, please.

- No, I can wait.

I insist. Ladies first.

Heh.

Something's wrong, isn't it?

Mark, I need to tell you something.

You can tell me anything.

I don't want to, but I have to.

- Look, Emily...

- No, this has gone on long enough.

What are you...

Come on, don't blow it, Emily.

What are you talking about?

What...

What are you looking at?

This is my patient.

I'm working now. Thank you.

The thing is,

I like you very much, Mark.

I feel the same way about you.

Well, you may not after you hear

what I have to tell you.

Oh, my God. This isn't easy for me.

OK, I'm just gonna say it.

What is she saying? What's going on?

I don't know! I told you

we should've bugged the table.

Damn.

So, my plan was to bring you

home with me tonight...

and... well, you know.

I think so.

But now that I'm here with you...

I can't.

I just can't go through with it.

Oh, Emily.

Ohh.

She's telling him everything!

I knew she didn't have it in her.

No, it was wrong.

It was devious, dishonest...

Let me ask you something.

You said that you were gonna bail out.

Why didn't you?

I should have.

God, I wish I had.

But the truth is...

I wanted to meet you.

That day

you walked in the restaurant...

the first time I saw you...

I thought...

"Wow. He looks so nice...

confident, together."

You know, it's silly...

but sometimes you just get

a feeling about someone...

even from across the room.

Listen, if you never want

to speak to me again...

I completely understand.

Emily, I need to tell you something...

and I hope that...

when I tell you this, you'll find it

in your heart to forgive me.

Forgive you? For what?

When you were at the restaurant

with your girlfriends...

I felt really bad about it...

not telling you the whole thing.

Emily.

Ohh. Emily!

You don't have enough cameras.

And there's no damn sound.

Emily, Emily. Wait, wait, wait.

Emily, Emily, Emily.

Listen, listen, please.

Just please. Sit here.

Come on, baby. Sit here.

What the...

Excuse me. Emily...

I didn't plan any of this.

It just happened.

You know him?

I mean, I heard your voices,

I looked over.

I saw three beautiful ladies...

talking about how

they each were gonna have sex...

with the next guy

that walks in the door.

- Three of 'em?

- Honestly, I got caught up, OK?

What was I to do?

Emily, a guy like me...

I'd be lucky to meet one of you

in a lifetime, much less three.

- Oh, they're freaks!

- I think any man in my position...

would've at least considered

the same thing.

Look, my man,

if three beautiful women...

wanted to make love to you,

would that be a problem?

For me? No. But for my wife?

She don't get down like that

no more, player.

Don't tell 'em my...

Um... heh. Wait a minute.

Maybe we should let them

have this table.

No. I'm sorry. I apologize.

We're ruining your dinner.

No, not really, man.

This is off the chain. I love this.

Wait, wait, George, George,

don't you get it?

This is one of those, uh,

hidden camera TV shows.

- You bullshittin'!

- No!

Where the camera at?

I don't know.

They hide 'em somewhere.

Oh! Off the chain.

- Emily...

- Oh.

I wore my nice dress.

You said it yourself.

You're as guilty as I am.

And the way I see it...

if it wasn't for your contest,

we wouldn't have met.

Emily, please.

I don't want to lose you.

Ohh. Go ahead. Forgive him, girl.

He seems like a nice guy.

And y'all look great together.

I mean, perfect. Better than perfect.

- Y'all do.

- Heh.

Emily...

I have never said this

to anyone in my life.

When I look at you,

I see everything I've ever wanted.

Hey, I don't have all the answers.

But the one thing

that I am so sure of...

is that I want a chance

to have you in my life.

Oh. That is so sweet.

Why you never say anything like that?

This is TV, girl. This ain't real.

- Get your mind right.

- Shut up.

Emily, unless I'm wrong...

you do have feelings for me,

don't you?

Good. That is good.

So, uh, how about, uh, we start over?

You know? No more games.

Total honesty from here on.

Go, girl. Give him another shot.

Emily, you could do that.

It's worth it.

Heh.

Go ahead.

Why don't we go for a walk?

Yeah. Come on.

- Wait, wait, wait. Where y'all goin'?

- Hey, hey, where you goin'?

The show just started.

We got thirty minutes, don't we?

All right, now.

Y'all was good, though.

That was good.

That was a good performance.

Y'all were da bomb!

Oh, man, that's a Golden Globe.

Golden Globe for sure!

I almost dropped a tear!

- Shoot.

- Ha ha!

I think I saw him on

The Young and the Restless.

You think we're going to get a check

for being on the show?

I don't know about a check...

but you better keep your eyes

in your head next time.

I saw you lookin' at her.

- What you talkin' about...

- I saw you lookin' at her!

Heh. You gotta keep

bringin' it up, OK?

Speakin' of checks... check, please!

Give him the check.

Nah, you know I ain't got it.

We'll go to jail together.

I ain't goin' to jail.

You already been five times.

That's all right. At least I'll be full,

and I know people.

Oh, you full, all right.

That's all right.

They're gonna get you.

- Full of sh*t!

- I gotta get up out of here.

Let me go buy you a drink.

Heh. Make it a double.

- Ha ha ha!

- Ha ha ha!

Can I get you another drink?

- Heh. Hello.

- Hi.

You want to buy me a drink?

Yeah. Unless I'm intruding.

Oh, intrude away.

Heh. Bartender, another, um...

Oh, a kir royale.

Kir royale for the lovely lady...

and one for me as well.

# Something this good

never lasts forever #

# I want it to be the first time, baby #

# I'm trying to find a way to make it #

# Something much more than usual #

# And something this good

never lasts forever... #

So, Lauren and I got played,

and Emily ends up with Mark.

That's OK.

Like I said, she is my girl...

and I taught her everything she knows.

And you have to admit,

they do look kind of good together.

But enough about them.

Now... back to me.

Knew I should've left that club early.

That's the restaurant

we should've been goin' to.

- OK.

- We'd have three of 'em.

Three of 'em come in... together!

I'm outta here.

You done held me back long enough.

- Heh heh.

- I got dreams.

Mm-hmm. I know you got dreams.

That man got three of 'em.

- Ha ha!

- Three of 'em.

Ha ha ha ha!

# Fallin' for you #

# For the things that you do

make me feel... #

Uhh!

That was great... somewhat.

But OK.

Ha ha ha!

Two more. You all right.

- I'm gettin' tired.

- All right.

- Yeah.

- Cut.

That girl was crazy, if you ask me.
