How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days Page #8
Thank you for understanding.
I love you, Binky...
but I don't have to
like you right now.
Thank you, Andie.
Ah, damn it!
S- S-Sh*t!
If you're really going
to commit to this,
you're going to have
to open up...
- Yeah.
... and dig deep.
Okay.
Bare that beautiful soul.
Let me see your teeth.
Andie Anderson.
Benjamin Barry.
Please come in.
Hi, welcome.
Before we get started,
how are you planning on paying
for the session?
Sweetie?
How much is it?
$300.
$300?
Mm-hmm.
Whatever it takes, yeah.
So, tell me,
how long have you guys
been seeing each other?
Seven days.
Seven days.
Interesting.
Is it too soon
to be seeing a therapist?
Well, Ben,
seven days isn't like
a lifetime, or anything,
- It's like a week.
- It...
Did you hear that tone?
How can we not have
a gulf between us
with a tone like that?
How are things
between you sexually?
Oh!
Ooh-ooh.
No, no...
- we haven't had sex.
- Oh, no.
Ben has a little, bitty problem.
- I don't have a problem.
- Oh.
Yes, you do.
- No, I do not have a problem.
- Yeah.
It's a big problem.
- I do not have a problem.
- You have a problem.
Look, look, look, wait a minute.
The one night that we even
thought about
all right, she up and decides
Penis?
Yeah. "Princess Sophia. " Ha!
You want to talk about
shooting a man's horse?
Whop! Come on!
I thought it was
a beautiful name.
Hmm, I see, Benjamin.
And when was it
that you first realized
that you were attracted
to other men?
- What?
- Oh, that's serious.
Hmm.
Benjamin, this is a safe space.
Look, it's just simple...
I like women, okay?
It just happened that way.
Methinks thou doth
- protesth too much.
You see? Stop it.
This is the sh*t
I'm talking about.
What the hell was that?
Whoa, whoa.
What did I do?
I mean, this is what she does.
Stop that!
You know, I'm hearing a lot
of latent anger here, Benjamin.
Rage-o-holic.
I'm not a rage-o-holic!
- I called that one.
- Stop...
You know what...
take a deep breath for me, Ben.
Okay, and let it go.
Just let it go.
Yeah.
Yeah. I feel better.
Okay. Come here.
I've seen this before.
- I've seen it many times.
- Yeah?
Yeah.
Whoo, would you two
like to be left alone?
No.
Maybe you should get a room.
You are hitting
on our shrink!
- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are!
No, I'm not.
And you are
a pathological flirt!
Jesus, five seconds ago,
I'm gay.
Now I'm a pathological flirt?
I sweat when I get nervous.
Which one is it, Andie?
And besides,
why would I need to hit
on another woman?
You've got more than
enough personalities
to keep me completely occupied.
That was hurtful.
Okay, Ben.
Are you ashamed of Andie?
- Of course he is!
- I'm not ashamed.
Of course he is.
You are!
I'm not ashamed.
How do you think
that makes me feel?
I'm not ashamed of you.
It's like, when I talked
to his mother...
he freaked out.
No, see, you-you did that
behind my back.
She did it behind my back.
I just wanted to say "hi. "
Andie, you want to talk
to my mother?
Y- You want to talk to my mother?
Talk to my mother.
Hey, you want to talk
to the whole family?
You can talk
to the whole family.
Hell, we can go to Staten
Island, spend the weekend
with them, Andie.
Now, that is
a positive idea, Ben.
It... it is?
How about it, Andie?
What?
Would you like to go
to Staten Island?
Uncle Ben, hi!
Thanks.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, Mom, Pop,
we're here.
Yeah, bullshit!
Who's that handsome guy?
That's my dad when
he was an ensign in the Navy.
He got stationed here
about ten years ago.
- Bullshit!
- Uh-oh.
Hey, darling.
Hey, sweetie.
How you doing?
I'm glad to see you.
Good. Perfect timing.
You know who this is?
I do, and I need you
to check the baby,
see if he needs changing.
I know who that is.
- Hi.
- Hi, Andie, I'm so happy
to have you here in the flesh.
You're just as pretty
as you sound on the telephone.
Glenda!
I'm coming!
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Excuse me.
Show her upstairs, okay, hon?
Oh, yeah.
And this is Joey, Jr.
Bullshit!
And the whole family suffers
from Tourette's.
I hope that's not a problem.
You're so handsome.
Joey, he suffers
from being a stinky rose.
We're going to go get you
cleaned up, sir.
Go on out back.
Have a good time.
Okay.
Ooh!
Got you.
Okay!
You're it.
He got you.
Oh...
Uncle Arnold says
he's got three kings.
Yeah, right.
Okay, Uncle Arnold.
Now, dare I say it, or not?
I'm just going to say it.
Okay, I'm going to say it...
bullshit!
Hi.
- Honey?
- Oh, wow.
Andie.
Whoa, ho, whoa, well, well!
Come on out here, Andie.
- Meet everybody.
- Okay.
I want you to meet
Ben's father, Jack.
- Well, hello.
- Hi.
Welcome to our humble abode.
This is Andie, Jack.
Oh, thank you.
Nice to meet you.
And this is our Uncle Arnold.
- Hi, Uncle Arnold.
- Oh, hi, good morning.
This is Andie.
You got to watch him.
He farts like a howitzer,
but he's family,
so what are you going to do?
Intestinal complications.
Yeah, right, Arnold. Prunes.
Did you meet Joey?
A female Andy.
L- E.
Nice to meet you.
Okay, here we go now.
The game is Bullshit,
and you are just in time
for the lightning round,
my dear.
I don't really know how to play.
Well, we're going to teach
you how. It's very simple.
Trick is to get rid
of all the cards
in your hand, all right?
So I'm going
to look in my hand,
and I'm going to see
what I've got here.
And, well, do you know?
I've got two aces here.
Well, two aces.
What do you say to that?
What are you
going to say?
- I say bullshit.
- Mm-hmm.
What did she say?
I didn't quite hear.
Did you guys...?
I didn't hear what she said.
What did you say?
I said bullshit!
All right!
Well, she knows how
to play the game,
Yes, sir.
Hey, big daddy,
come to Papa.
Get on over there, big man.
Slick as a whistle.
How you doing, Unc?
Hi, Ben.
- That's my grandson.
- Pop.
Hey, how you doing, buddy?
Got a game of Bullshit
going here?
A little game of Bullshit.
Want to join us?
Good luck.
What'd you leave me with, Joe?
Look at the expert here.
Okay, now, we went
through the deck.
We're going to start
at the beginning now.
So we go to twos.
Let's see, now.
I've got myself one deuce here.
Bullshit.
Whoa!
Bullshit, Pop.
He's a human lie detector,
isn't he?
Try this, son:
Two threes.
Mm-hmm.
One four.
Three fives.
Bullshit.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You see whose name's on top
of the board over there?
Yes, it says "Ben,"
with a star next to it.
You still want to bullshit me?
God, you must be so proud.
I'm doing my best.
What do we got?
Yes.
- Did I b-b-bullshit?
- Got, uh...
No, I told the truth.
Three fives.
He's good. He's the champ.
All right, all right.
Lighten up on me, Jim.
What am I?
Sixes to you.
One six.
One six, all right.
Whoa, look at what I got here.
You see, the key to this game
is being able to read people.
