How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Page #11
- Ma'am?
- I was exhibit A.
- Now folks, time out.
- You talk about integrity?
- What?!
- What?!
Look, please,
just give me the necklace.
Then you guys can go on
and kill each other.
So that's what I was, huh?
I was a guinea pig.
Somebody you could test
your theories on?
Yeah, and I...
and I was...
just a girl
somebody picked out in a bar.
Yeah, you know what? Big deal.
Hell, I'm sure now
you can even use it
as a little twist in your story.
It's a good idea.
Maybe we should bet on it.
You know what?
You did your job now, Andie.
Yes, I did.
You wanted to lose a guy
in ten days.
Congratulations.
You did it.
You just... lost him.
No, I didn't, Ben.
Cause you can't lose something
you never had.
Well...
...it's not what I expected.
It's better.
Congratulations.
This shows me
you're ready to be unleashed.
From now on,
feel free to write
about anything.
Anything?
Wherever the wind blows you.
Even politics?
No, the wind's not going
to blow you there.
What about religion,
poverty, economics...?
This wind
is really more
of a light breeze.
What can I write about, Lana?
Whatever you want.
Shoes.
Laser therapy,
dressing for your body type.
Use your imagination.
The sky is the limit.
Thank you
for this opportunity, Lana.
Okay.
And thank you for
making it easy
for me to turn it down.
No. I mean, look,
it's not something I'm proud of.
Obviously, if I could...
do it over again,
I'd do some things differently,
you know?
Say, it's good to talk
to you, though, man.
It really is.
Ah, I know it.
You are the only one...
that knows us both.
Yeah.
Hmm.
You want to go?
You want to go to the game?
Well, go ahead,
'cause I'm not going.
Seventh and final game
of what has been
a classic series between...
Sweetie, I wouldn't have gone,
either.
I mean, I-I would have liked
to have gone,
but they probably
wouldn't let me.
You're doing the right thing.
Oh, sweetie.
There's the Chinese.
I'm coming.
Okay.
Okay, so that's going to be...
Michelle?
Andie...
that wasn't the Chinese.
It's Mike.
Mike?!
Yeah, what do I do?
What do I do?
Talk to him.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Mike?
Mike?!
Hi.
Hi.
So, um...
what are you doing here?
I don't know exactly.
Um...
It was last night...
I- I was...
I was just lying there
and trying to sleep, and...
you know that... that perfume
you sprayed on my pillow?
Oh, yeah.
Well, that smell is gone now,
and, uh...
Michelle, I-I want it back.
I, um...
I don't know
if you can have it back.
Right.
Yeah.
Okay.
But I... I'm willing
to-to consider it.
Okay.
- Yeah.
- Oh, my...
These are for you.
Thank you.
Hi.
Hi.
We could... kiss.
I remember where you live.
Who needs men?
Ladies... frost yourselves.
Mmm...
Beautiful.
And cut it.
Very nice.
You like?
Oh, it was superb.
Okay, let's go one more.
Right away, people.
Real good.
I'll keep working on it.
Tim, can I see playback?
Open me, Ben.
Please, break my binding.
- Jesus.
- Please.
- Get that out of here, man.
- Please?
Straightening this out.
You might want to read this.
Ah, no thanks.
Yeah?
"I've lost a guy,
and I don't know why.
"What went wrong?
"When I started writing
this month's column,
"I wanted to commit the certain
silly dating faux pas.
"What I didn't realize was
"that I was making
the biggest mistake...
of all. "
Here. Trust me.
Read it.
Come on set.
Andie Anderson?
Excuse me, ma'am.
Holy crap.
Where's Andie Anderson?
She's not here.
- Where is she?
- She quit.
She's got an interview
in Washington.
When is she leaving?
- Today.
- When?
Well, like, now.
You're not a therapist, are you?
Oh.
No.
Good job, though.
You owe me 300 bucks.
Andy!
Anywhere you go
I'll follow you down
Anyplace but those
I know by heart
Anywhere you go,
I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down
but not that far
Hey!
I know
we're headed somewhere
I can see how far we've come
But still I can't remember
anything
It's a long way down
When all the knots we've tied
have come undone
Anywhere you go,
I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down
but not that far
I'll follow you down
Woooo
Andy!
Ben!
Pull over, we need to talk.
Are you trying
to get yourself killed?
If that's what it takes, yeah.
Now pull over the cab.
Sir...
excuse me, sir.
Can you please pull
the car over?
We're in the middle of a bridge,
lady.
I can't pull the car over here.
Okay, well, do you have
an ashtray
or something I can throw up in?
Gee, lady.
Watch it, broad!
What the hell was that?
Is this true?
Ben, please.
Is this true?
Or are you just trying
to sell magazines?
I meant every word.
Well, where you going?
I have an interview.
Yeah, in Washington.
I know.
Where you going?
Ben, it's the only place
I can go
and write what I want to write.
No, I'm not buying that.
You can write anywhere.
Why don't you save your mind
games for your next bet, okay?
I am not running away.
Bullshit.
Excuse me?
You heard me.
Bullshit.
Hey, lady, what do ya wanna do?
Take the lady's luggage
back to her place.
She has alternate
transportation.
You callin' my bluff?
You bet I am.
Look who made the trip with me.
It's our love fern.
Oh, Benny-boo-boo,
boo-boo-boo.
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
I don't know why
I was so afraid
All of the time
Memories seemed to bother me
My whole life
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
is spread my wings and
Fly
Oh, and there's
always something
There's somebody right behind
Well, we're not meant to be
Everything
We're just a piece
So spread your wings out
I don't know why
I was so afraid
All the time
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
is spread my wings and fly
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
is spread my wings and fly
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
I used to carry
the weight of the world
And now all I wanna do
L is for the way
you look at me
O is for
the only one I see
V is very, very
extraordinary
E is even more
than anyone that you adore
And love is all
that I can give to you
Love is more
than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart,
Love was made for me and you
Love is all
that I can give to you
Love is more
than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart,
but please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me
and you
Love was made
for me... and you...
Love...
Love.
