Hitch Page #9

---

Did you put him up to the inhaler?

Stop it. He did not show you that.

He chucked it right before he kissed me.

So, wait...

that stuff worked for you?

It was adorable.

What did you do?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

That's good.

- This was your plan the whole time?

- Albert.

You sail off into the sunset with my girl?

You were like a brother to me!

- He came here for you.

- Who?

The guy you're choking.

- I love you.

- I love you.

I really love you.

- I love you more.

- I love you more. I really do.

I got somewhere I gotta go.

- Yeah, who is it?

- Hitch.

Can I talk to you?

What?

You almost hit me.

Look, I just wanted to stop by, basically.

See, this is the thing.

This is weird.

I don't have me behind the door, you know.

Close your mouth.

Because I knew at some point I'd be...

right here. But I thought that...

everything would come out, but it's like...

That's throwing me off.

- Can we close the door?

- What?

I'm sorry. Just, can we... I just need...

- Are you serious?

- No, just like this.

What do you want, Hitch?

You.

For a whole lot of reasons

that don't make any sense to me.

I mean, what, we've been on three dates?

See, that's what's crazy.

That's what's crazy, because I know.

I know deep...

like just down, just in this area...

that I just know...

that I want...

I want to be miserable.

Like, really miserable.

Because, hey...

if that's what it takes

for me to be happy then...

Wait, that didn't come out right.

What the hell is wrong with you?

- Nothing!

- No, not you.

I'm talking to me.

Alex Hitchens, Tom Reda.

I'll just put this in the car.

Maybe it's like what you said.

We should just both go our separate ways

and then we'll do just fine.

What if fine isn't good enough?

What if I want extraordinary?

No such thing.

I'm just as scared as you are, Sara.

But I'm right here, and our time is right now.

Well, what about before?

I am a guy. Since when

do we get anything right the first time?

I'm a realist,

and I know what love does to people.

- No, you don't.

- Keys.

There you go. Right here.

I don't know who this is, and I don't care.

What I do know is he'll never feel about you

the way that I do.

- You know how to drive a stick?

- Both of you, shut up!

- You okay?

- Yeah. No, I'm fine.

You'll never be fine, and neither will I!

Maybe I should drive.

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

If that's what it takes.

Sara, what happened?

- He jumped on the car.

- Why?

Because that's what people do.

They leap and hope to God they can fly.

Because otherwise...

we just drop like a rock...

wondering the whole way down:

"Why in the hell did I jump?"

But here I am, Sara, falling.

And there's only one person

that makes me feel like I can fly.

That's you.

So, you kind of like me?

No.

I love you.

I love you, and I knew it from the first...

If I say it back now, it'll sound so stupid.

This is the guy I was telling you about.

Hitch, that's my sister, Maria.

And that's her husband, Tom.

Her husband.

Where's your date?

Don't have one.

I know. Shocking, huh?

Oh, my God!

Are you all right?

Grandma, what happened?

This young lady just saved my life.

Ask her to dance.

Well, if you insist.

- I'm Casey.

- Charles Wellington.

- And this...

- Forget it. Just go.

Basic principles:

There are none.
