Good Luck Chuck Page #2

Synopsis: Early thirty-something dentist Dr. Charlie Logan has never experienced true love, despite having had a number of girlfriends over the years. After an announcement by one of his ex-girlfriends as such at her wedding, Charlie gets a reputation as being a good luck charm. Every woman he has slept with has met and married her dream man immediately following. He is encouraged to exploit this reputation by his long time best friend, Dr. Stu Klaminsky, a sex obsessed, sex starved schlub who became a plastic surgeon just so that he could masturbate over the sight of women's breasts. Charlie doesn't want to be solely a stepping stone for women, which is how they end up treating him once he gains this reputation as a lucky charm, but rather one's true love. He believes the woman of his dreams is accident-prone Cam Wexler, who works as the penguin caretaker at the aquarium. Cam initially doesn't want to date Charlie because of his reputation as a one-night stand type of guy. Charlie in turn doesn

she was into me.

Say, uh, ladies-

Hey, you.

Hey.

- You look great.

- Thank you.

So do you.

So, how are you and Carol doing?

We're-

We're just giving each other

a little space right now.

I worry about you

sometimes, Chuck.

Always a bridesmaid,

never a bride.

It's better

to have loved and lost

than to have never

loved at all.

I'll buy that when you can honestly

tell me that you have loved.

Touch.

I just want to see you

happy, Chuckles.

Attention, hot mamas.

Can we have all

the single ladies

out on the terrace

for the tossing of the bride's bouquet?

See you.

Ready, ladies?

One!

Two!

Three!

Morning, Reba.

Good morning, Dr. Logan.

Good morning, Doctor.

I think I have a cavity.

Me, too.

- Hey, Sharon. Is Stu in?

- Hi.

Sharon-

Oh, Dr. Logan.

Can you come back here

for a second, please?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

We need you.

Dr. Logan-

This is Pleasure.

Nice to meet you.

The pleasure's all mine.

Get it?

"The pleasure's all mine"?

My name is Pleasure.

That is... enormously clever.

We need

a second opinion.

What do you think?

Are they even?

So you knew they were even.

Of course they were even. I did them.

I just wanted you to see them

without having to pay

for a lap dance.

How did you get a license

to practice medicine?

You need a license?

Listen, have you noticed

anything different about me?

Other than your aversion

to fantastic, gigantic titties?

Women seem to be

coming on to me

in an unusual manner.

Really?

That's crazy.

Charlie! Stuart.

Carol.

Are these back

in season again?

You're getting married.

What can I say?

I guess you are

a lucky charm.

You have 14 new messages.

Message 1.

Hey, Charlie.

My name's Nicole Adams.

You don't know me,

but I got your number

from Amy in Radiology.

I was wondering

if we could meet up

for drinks

one of these nights.

Hi, Charlie.

My name's Julia.

I normally don't do this, but I'm desperate.

Could you-

I'm not sure how you

choose your dates,

but I'm 5'10", blonde-

Hello, Charlie.

My name is Daisy.

Uh, actually in town-

Hi. My name is Bob.

No, it's not a wrong number.

Hear me out.

Hi. This is Cindy.

I'm a friend of Katie's-

Hey, my name's Colleen-

Hey, there.

We met at the gym.

StairMaster buddies?

Eat up, Shadow.

Last chance before bedtime.

Good boy.

Grumpy, don't be a pig.

Don't be a pig.

That's Chester's.

There you go.

Good boy.

Here, Dougie.

Gobble it up.

Come here, Tina.

Grumpy,

you're such a pig.

Joe, hurry up!

I want to go home.

Did you get lost

back there?

Sorry.

Just taking five...

hits from my bong.

If they catch you with weed,

you're going to get fired.

They don't care

that you're my brother.

Oh, take a chillaxitive.

How is anybody

going to know?

Maybe 'cause you smell like you've been

bathing in bong water.

Sweet.

What's that in your pocket?

Oh, I was looking for this.

Three months.

Hey, Skully.

Joe!

Joe, I'm slipping!

And you think I look wasted.

Grumpy, no!

You okay?

I think I chipped a tooth.

It's great to finally meet you.

Let me get that for you.

- Oh, thank you.

- Sure.

- All right?

- Yeah.

All right.

Are you ready?

Yeah, let's go.

Don't you want to, uh-

What?

I don't know,

have dinner first?

Is that how this works?

How what works?

The thing.

The thing. The magic.

The charm.

Wait a second.

Gretel, what the hell

are you talking about?

You're a lucky charm.

You have sex with someone,

and then they find

their true love.

Isn't that how it works?

Has everybody

lost their minds?

That's ridiculous.

That's absurd.

Do you want top

or bottom?

Put that back

in your secret booby place.

That's- No.

I don't want to take

advantage of you.

Look, don't take this

so seriously.

I'm certainly not.

I'm doing this on a lark.

And you won't be

taking advantage of me.

Do you know how many

loser boyfriends I have had?

Do you know how many times

I have given myself-

body, mind, soul-

hoping that this was it,

this was the one,

only to find out he was

just another a**hole?

Look, if there's a chance-

I mean even a. 0001 %%% chance

that you're the key,

that being with you could

open the door to something better,

well, I think I'd be

taking advantage of you.

Do you want to have sex

before or after dinner?

Actually, I have dinner plans.

I got to get that.

It's my emergency line.

Oh. Emergency.

Now, that's sexy.

Dr. Logan speaking.

Hey, it's Cam Wexler.

Remember,

from the wedding?

The serial killer?

Yeah. Yeah, hi.

I'm sorry to bother you,

but I have a bit

of a dental emergency.

You don't have to make up stories, Cam.

If you want to see me,

all you have to do is ask.

No, seriously.

I chipped a tooth,

and it's Saturday night,

and I don't know

who else to call.

Oh, you chipped a tooth?

How?

I slipped while having

a fish fight,

slid down an ice ramp,

got tackled by a penguin,

and fell face-first

into a fake ice boulder.

This is very common.

Do you know

where my office is?

Yeah. I got your card

right here.

I can be there

in 20 minutes?

I'm leaving now.

Okay.

Okay, all fixed.

Does that hurt?

Can you describe the penguin

that attacked you?

Very funny.

You can rinse.

So what really happened?

Did you get caught

in the middle

of some North Pole-

South Pole gang war?

There are no penguins

in the North Pole.

That's polar bears.

You really are

a penguin freak, aren't you?

Oh, you have no idea.

Obsessed is putting it mildly.

I believe you.

Oh, what's that?

Oh, I travel

to Guatemala every year

to help some

of the poorer villagers.

That's so sweet.

Sorry!

Oh! Oh, no!

They went in!

They're in there!

- What's in there?

- The things!

Oh, here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

This is bad.

- You're hurt.

- It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Should have worn

that lead vest.

Oh, this always

happens to me.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Yeah, I'm fine.

- You sure?

- I feel good.

Man. I hope you let me

buy you a new shirt.

No. No, really.

It's, uh, it's good.

But I hope you'll let me

take you out to dinner...

sometime.

Trust me, you can do

far more damage with a steak knife.

I'm sorry.

I- I can't.

How much do I owe you

for the tooth?

Wait a second.

So you will draw first blood,

but you won't

make it up to me?

Please, how much?

No.

Your money's no good here.

You sure?

I will not accept that.

Really?

Thank you.

Yes.

- I'm sorry.

- No.

See you in six months

for a routine stabbing.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Change your mind?

My car won't start.

Sure it won't.

No, really.

I left my lights on.

Fine.

I'm pushing the car.

No, no, no, wait.

I want to jump you.

Now?

Not now.

Wait till I get this in here.

Now?

Oh!

You okay?

Yep.

Let's-

I'm so sorry.

No, no. It's fine.

It's good.

Cauterized my wounds.

Thank you.

Thank you for fixing my tooth

and jumping my car.

Don't mention it.

And thank you

for taking me home

to get my spare

set of keys.

I have a feeling

this kind of thing happens to you often.
