in my head!
It's easy to be a Monday morning
quarterback and
blame it all on me, but...
That's her! She IS her picture,
wish me luck, dog.
Snail.
Could you come by our table and
ask me something 'astronaut-y.'
Hello, Seth.
Um, maybe we should get a table?
Yes! Oh yes, of course, yes. I
have a lot of pull here.
So Garcon.
That is French.
And why wouldn't you know that?
I'm a moron.
Relax, tonight you're going to
get paid and laid.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
It was a phrase I took from your
profile.
I thought it was very funny.
Oh, oh right! I see! Ah sh*t I
thought you were serious.
Pardon my French. And I
apologize for that.
I didn't mean to imply that
French is course,
or, or that it is obscene or
that it is a gutter language.
French is not a gutter language
All my life, I had been looking
for my prince.
Danita, I, I, I need to talk to
you, please call me back...
Look I'm sorry I didn't trust
you,
but Seth kept making me watch
"Body Heat" and
and "Wild Things"...
Jesus, Seth!
Talk to me.
Look, look, it's my fault k.
Seth got into my head and
I started obsessing and getting
all suspicious, but,
but that's no excuse
I was using you.
What...
At first.
I've told you the truth about my
husband.
He would kill me if I tried to
leave him.
He controls every dime of mine
so I could never pay to have
somone... one day,
I went on a dating service to
look for someone desperate.
And they just... matched me up
with you.
I, I, I figured that any man
willing to go on a date
with a woman without even seeing
her picture,
might be willing to go along
with just about anything.
No but then I met you and it
just... everything changed.
I just... fell in love with
you.
Uh-huh...
I did, Ricky, I did. I, I really
did. I'll be honest.
At first when I read your
profile,
I couldn't believe anyone that
sweet could actually exist.
I mean I even snickered when I read the
word "heart-ner" the first time...
then I met you and...
you were just... you are that
sweet in person and...
I love you,
I love you from the bottom of my
heart, Ricky.
And I, I know you have no reason
to believe me, but I-
Goodbye, Danita.
Yeah okay, I guess that's what I
deserve.
Goodbye, Ricky. I'm so sorry,
Ricky.
You're my soulmate and I screwed
it all up.
Swear on Albert Brooks.
What?
Swear on Albert Brooks that you
love me.
If you're lying, he'll be struck
dead.
And also one of your cats.
I swear.
Chairman Meow.
I love you, I love you Ricky.
With all my heart.
Oh God. I love you too, Danita!
Um listen, uh... there's
something
I probably should have told you.
Um well it's something you've
probably noticed already.
My... whole head was a lie.
It's okay, you look more
beautiful without your makeup.
It's back on.
What?
"Operation Kill The Rabbi."
It's a go
Pound it.
What, what exactly... is our
"Operation?"
You know what, I don't know.
I was thinking shoot him, trip
him?
Right now is not a good time,
bebe.
Up to my ass in "1099's. Okay.
You want me to give your husband
my novel?
Yes. Just like he asked.
Then you can come over one night
to... discuss it,
face to face, where you can
absorb all his comments and
then you'll have the perfect
opportunity-
I'm not sure it's ready.
What?
The eighty pages.
You know, I haven't even proofed
it yet and...
You're not sending it to him so
he'll give it to his agent!
You're giving it to him so you
can get invited
into his home and kill him.
It's just, it's been a real long
time
since anyone's read my stuff and
I...
Sorry, I'm reaally nervous.
Me too, honey.
Maybe we shouldn't do this.
Maybe we can just get in your
car and drive away,
far away, you and me, right now.
I'd have to give Debby's two
weeks notice.
Sorry, I was sure you were
kidding.
Let's just get away.
Maybe he won't kill me like he
says he will.
Yeah, okay, he's killed before,
but...
Oh yeah he killed his first
wife.
And they couldn't prove it, but
he did.
The prick even made it into the
plot of his first, first book.
Genius murderer gets away with
killing a cheating wife.
Christ...
His family warned me.
Till the day I married him, it's
just I never listened.
No, no, no hey, at least you
have good taste in men now.
"How to buy a gun..." Oh Sh*t.
They can trace Google searches,
idiot!
Uh, uh, smiley face? "LOL"...
Hey, man, can I talk to you for
a second?
Sure. What up, dog?
I'm gonna need some more time
off.
Yeah, okay, 'whatev's.'
Oh, hey, you know, Jorge there's
something I,
I always wanted to ask you.
Um do you know anybody who sells
guns?
Excuse me?
Oh well, it's for my... father.
He likes to hunt deer... I, I
don't condone it, but you know,
gives him pleasure and his
birthday is coming up so...
Why would you think I would know
somebody who sells guns, huh?
'Cause I'm Hispanic?
No, no, of course not.
I, I didn't mean anything.
Honestly...
it's just that this is how
stereotypes get perpetuated and...
Couldn't agree more and I'm
sorry I asked.
You know what? I just
remembered.
My brother and sister sell guns.
This is stupid... shouldn't we
be at a,
a shooting range or something.
Witnesses, dog.
Use your head, k.
It's totally discreet here.
Ah! Ah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, that
was discreet.
Couldn't you have asked the
busboy
for a silencer or something?
Sorry, first gun, forgot to ask
for accessories.
Alright, you know what, I'll
show you how to do it, hog.
You got to.., aim the, aim the.
Now don't hold the trigger yet,
no, no don't hold...
what are you a gangster...
Put it straight up, okay,
now make sure your forearm needs
to be in line with the barrel.
Needs to be in line...
no straight,
don't turn your elbow in or else
you're going to loop.
This is going to dislocate
immediately.
Okay look, no, no, no, you got
to stay, you got to stay square.
Okay you have no power there.
Look at it through that eye.
The eye closest to the, to the.
You know what, you don't have to
shoot him.
No, no, no. I want to shoot him.
That's how this murderer
deserves to die.
Murderer?
Well yeah, he killed his first
wife, totally got away with it.
No, no, no, I think you're
thinking of Ben's first book,
which is a great read by the
way.
I highly recommend it.
No, no, Danita told me he did
that.
In real life.
How do you know she's telling
the truth now?
I looked into her eyes.
Oh, good, great, I feel really
good about this now.
Did you at least think to Google
the guy
to see if he even HAD a first
wife?
Okay, okay. You know what your
problem is?
Seriously, seriously you know, I
think you need to hear it.
This may hurt you but I...
I really think you need to hear
it.
Okay Dr. Phil, what's my
problem?
Okay, you are so emotionally
immature,
so afraid of any kind of serious
relationship that
you mistrust every woman so you
don't have to make a commitment.
