How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
What you get is what you see
And you can bet
it's worth it, baby
'Cause what you get is me
Don't be afraid
to let it embrace you
I'm gonna show you
- Yeah, yeah
- Do you really want it?
If you want it,
you can get it
If you get it, don't regret it
So what you gonna do?
Love is like a butterfly,
tapestry across the sky
Doesn't need a reason why I feel
it taking you and I
Higher and higher
So what you gonna do?
If you only knew
what I just dealt with.
I mean, this guy was right in
front of me, going little...
That guy deserves a ticket.
I'm sure he's...
A- A-A woman never
reveals her age.
I've been in this
relationship for...
He was going ten miles an hour
on the highway.
I'm trying to...
If you want it, you can get it
Higher and higher
"And only then
will the people of Tajikistan
know true and lasting peace. "
Andie, it's brilliant.
It's really moving.
But it's never going to appear
in Composure Magazine.
God, I busted my butt
in grad school
to be Andie Anderson,
"How to" girl,
and write articles like,
"How to Use the Best
Pick-Up Lines"
and "Do Blondes, Do They, Like,
Really Have
More Fun?"
I want to write about
things that matter,
like politics and
the environment,
and foreign affairs...
things I'm interested in.
Keep busting your butt.
You're going to get there.
Hey, I've got something
to cheer you up.
You know that editor
from Sports Illustrated
that you have been
shamelessly flirting with
on the phone for... whoo,
a month now?
He made a little delivery
this morning.
Ah, ha, ha, let me see.
Oh, no.
Hey!
Tomorrow night.
What happens tomorrow night?
Only the most exhilarating
and artistic display
of athletic competition
known to mankind.
The Ice Capades are in town?
No, the NBA Finals
are in town,
and I got tickets!
Come with me?
All right, I'll go.
But I am not putting out.
Two stale jumbo dogs
and a couple of beers,
you'll be whistling
a different tune.
You know what I like.
Good morning, ladies.
Don't forget,
staff meeting in 30 minutes.
Michelle... haven't seen
her all morning.
- Have you?
- Ten to one she's wallowing.
It's my turn. I'll get her,
you get the coffee,
meet me in the corner in 20.
Wait, wait, wait.
Here, take some samples.
Samples. Samples.
Great idea.
Oh, boy.
Drama, drama, drama.
I walked 47 miles of barb wire
I got a cobra snake
for a necktie
A brand-new house
on the road side
And it's made out
of rattlesnake hide
Come on, take a little walk
with me, baby
And tell me who do you love
Hey!
Who do you love?
Now around the town
I use a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy, baby,
don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Hello, Ben.
Hey, hey, good morning, Spears.
What are you reading, girl?
You catching up on
your current events?
"Turn-On Tricks:
How to Make Him Hot. "
You know, if you want
to try those out sometime,
we should get together.
Green and I have
an appointment at Composure,
the fastest growing women's
magazine in the country.
And seeing as how
our clients run a lot
of our campaigns
in their nationally-syndicated
little girlie magazine,
it wouldn't hurt you
to do a little reading.
Hey, Benny.
Good morning, Green.
You finally decided to show up?
Yes, I did.
You ready?
Ready.
Later, Ben.
Have a nice day, ladies.
Hi.
Oh!
Good morning, sunshine.
Okay, get dressed.
Get dressed.
Staff meeting, 15 minutes.
Let's go.
I'm going back to bed.
I have no reason to live.
Sun's out. Oh...
Okay, just...
Okay, now...
Cashmere?
Put it on.
It'll make your eyes
look fiercely green.
Oh!
Get up. I'm not going
to let you lose your job
on top of everything else.
- Oh.
- Come here.
Oh, Andie.
Okay.
Okay.
You only dated the guy a week.
It was the best week of my life.
Sweetheart.
Good morning, ladies.
- What's up, Tito?
- Hey.
Warren Advertising.
Hi, yes, we're waiting for you.
Good morning.
What's up, kitty cat?
What's up, daddy?
Big night?
- Not bad.
- Orgy?
Where were you, man?
Not at an orgy.
Did you hear?
What, that my Knickerbockers
are now in
the championship series
and Tone "The Bone" here
owes me $20?
Pay him.
Oh, man.
Well, you were right.
DeLauer Diamonds is looking
for a new ad agency.
Warren wants to move
on it aggressively.
Yes!
Oh, oh, this is a good day,
this is a good day.
Guys, did you know
that diamonds are about
as common as taxis
on Fifth Avenue?
The value is entirely
sentimental,
maintained by a supply,
demand and advertising.
Stripes.
Now, DeLauer dominates
the world diamond market.
Meaning if I represent them,
I basically represent
the entire industry.
Tell him.
What?
Warren gave it to the Judys.
Spears and Green...
they're already on it.
No way!
Yeah, well, you know,
he's kind of partial
to hot, leggy chicks
for some reason.
Yeah, and we're the, you know,
the sneakers and beer division.
Precious gems aren't exactly
our forte.
Lips and Hips are over at
a chick's magazine right now.
I got to get to Warren
before they sink...
You can't, you can't.
He's on a plane.
Easy, pal.
The Chicago meeting.
And it's too late anyway,
because Warren's
meeting them for drinks
at Mullins' tonight
to discuss their ideas.
You know what?
This isn't happening.
You know why?
This was my tip.
It's going to be my pitch,
my account, my campaign.
- This is my baby.
- That's what I'm talking about.
They will not ace me
out of this.
- That's right.
- I heard that.
Okay.
Mullins', tonight.
"I heard that"?
Oh.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I- I don't really want
to talk about it, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay.
Why does this always happen
to me?
Things were going great
for, like, a week and a half,
and then, all of a sudden,
it's over,
and I am mystified.
Seriously, I am mystified,
because it always starts out
so well.
Poor baby.
Let's just roll with this one.
Oh, Mike and I had
such a connection.
The first time that we had sex,
...it was so beautiful...
I cried.
You cried?
Yeah.
You mean, like,
one glistening tear
on your cheek, right?
No. I was really emotional.
I even told him
that I loved him.
After how many days?
Five.
Two.
It was how I felt.
I wanted to express myself.
Okay, well, what did he say?
Oh, Mike didn't have
to say anything.
I know that he felt the same.
But then he started
getting really busy,
and I didn't know where he was.
So I kept calling him
and calling him.
He was never home...
You kept calling him?
I didn't leave a message.
He didn't know it was me.
My number's blocked.
Oh, I-I'm sure he thought
it was one of his friends.
You know, men frequently call
their friends'
answering machines
and hang up 20 times.
Anyway...
I know why he dumped me:
I'm too fat.
- You're not fat!
- You're not fat!
Oh, Michelle, if the most
beautiful woman in the world
acted the way you did,
any normal guy
would still go running
