It's Complicated Page #7

When you just give love

And never get love

You'd better let love depart

I know it's so

And yet I know

I can't get you

out of my heart

You

Made me leave my happy home

You took my love

and now you're gone

Since I fell for you

(EXHALES)

Your sweet love

Brings such misery...

Jake? Jake! Jake!

I adore October weddings. Let me show

you something we did last October.

Stunning, right?

And you can do as

much of the flowers

or as little

as you want...

Hey, hon, I'm gonna

make that call from...

...keeping with an autumnal theme.

- Great.

- This is a gorgeous cake...

- You guys just keep doing this,

...and I'm gonna...

- ...with the chocolate ribbons.

LAUREN:
Oh, I love it.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Ah! Doctor.

Hi. I received a call

about a Mr. Adler.

Yes, 408. His wife

says he's conscious now.

DOCTOR:
I'm on my way.

Okay. Blood pressure's good.

How is his heart?

Do you have a heart

condition, Mr. Adler?

No. And I just

had a check-up.

You did? That's good.

And when you got dizzy, did you

feel your heart was beating funny?

Yes. But I was

admiring my beautiful...

It's nice to hear after all

these years. That's great.

(CHUCKLES)

Did you forget to take

any medications today?

- Took 'em all.

- What all did you take?

Lipitor, baby aspirin.

Flomax.

Flomax?

Yes. Otherwise,

I pee 40 times a day.

How long have you

been taking the Flomax?

Not long. I only take it sporadically.

I have to sneak it, actually.

It reduces semen, which is not

good for my wife right now. Sorry.

Really?

Yes. I prefer

a lot of semen.

- I always have.

- Wow.

Okay, so good.

Thanks so much for coming.

Looks like

he's going to live.

Yes. My guess is Flomax

is probably

the culprit here.

I suggest you stay off

that for a few weeks.

Which, apparently,

your wife will appreciate.

Yeah, really good for me.

And I suggest

you rest quietly

for the rest

of the afternoon.

No hanky-panky, Mrs. Adler.

(CHUCKLES) No chance,

I can assure you.

Okay, are you acting like

this because of the wedding?

Tell me the truth.

Not at all, I swear to God.

Because I really don't want

to be one of those couples

where the guy

goes into a coma

...the whole time we plan the wedding.

- God, no. Please.

LAUREN:
It's not

worth it to me.

(EXHALES)

He's fine.

Okay!

We are back in business!

Oh, honey!

Don't you just love it

when a song raises you up,

makes you think

you can do anything

when all you have

to do is hear it

and you're motivated,

you're inspired,

(CHUCKLES)

...you don't stop believing...

- See? Just that move?

You have no idea.

Not everyone's like that.

Jake, I have

a confession to make.

Back when we broke up...

I knew it wasn't

all your fault.

You mean that? You've never

said that to me before.

I know.

Because when you cheated,

I didn't have to.

I think in some way

I gave up on us.

And I'm not sure

you ever really did.

I still haven't.

Are you and Agness

still having sex?

Only if she initiates it.

(GROANING)

I'm trying not to rock

the boat at home

until you and I

figure this out.

It's a lot trickier

at my end than yours.

Right. Yeah. Okay.

I know you're going to

think I'm leaving now

because of what

you just said,

but, I really... I have

to get back to work.

(SNIFFLES)

We got really close

there for a moment.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Hello?

ADAM:
Hi.

- Adam?

- I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

(EXCLAIMING) Hi.

Hey, I just found out there's

a French film festival in town

and made me think of you.

So I was wondering

if you might want to go

to the

opening night tomorrow.

Oh, that sounds so fun!

Tomorrow night?

Um, let me think.

Tomorrow night.

Tomorrow's what?

(WHISPERING)

Say you're busy.

Agness has got

a dinner thing tomorrow.

I can come over.

Come on.

You know,

I would really love to.

But my son is coming home

from college the next day,

and I have

a bunch of things

that I have to do

to get ready.

I'm really sorry.

Yeah. It's no problem.

We can...

Maybe we can see

something another night.

Absolutely.

I'd love that.

- Take care.

- You, too.

Hey, Melanie, how would

you and your husband

like two tickets to

the French Film Festival?

Reserved seating,

VIP parking.

Seriously? Thanks, Adam.

You'll make the whole thing?

The roast chicken?

And mashed potatoes.

And sauted string beans.

And double fudge

chocolate cake.

I know your

favorite dinner, Jakey.

You haven't called me

"Jakey" in 10 years.

(LAUGHS)

So, do we have a date?

(EXHALES)

We have a date.

(LAUGHING)

Why are you taking your

cell to the bathroom?

Oh. I didn't mean to.

(SOFTLY) Carry him

to his bed, will you?

Yeah.

And hurry back.

I'm ovulating.

You are?

Why do you think

I canceled my dinner?

(SIGHS)

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Oh, Mom, I keep

forgetting to tell you

about our meeting

at the Stanhope.

We went there

for lunch two days ago

and met with our

wedding specialist,

and I think

it could be the place.

Two days ago, you went

to the Stanhope for lunch?

Yes, we did.

And we saw nothing.

Harley, what is that

supposed to mean?

Who wants wine? Anyone?

Mom, you have an insane amount

of food in here, even for you.

Well, I knew everybody

was coming for the weekend,

so I just made a bunch

of stuff last night.

Looks like Dad's

favorite meal.

(LAUGHS) Very funny.

Very.

LAUREN:
Oh, my gosh.

GABBY:
Yay, he's home.

Yay.

Oh, my God.

- Harley.

- Yes!

(BOTH CHEERING)

- Hey!

LUKE:
Hi.

JANE:
Here he is!

Hi, darling.

LUKE:
Hi, Mom.

Mom, this looks amazing!

Welcome home.

LUKE:
Thanks.

HARLEY:
How you doing?

LUKE:
Good.

JANE:
Oh.

LAUREN:
Look at this.

LUKE:
It smells so good.

I am starving.

Hi.

Hey.

Where should I put this?

Wherever.

That looks incredible.

Thanks.

Jake, glass of wine?

Uh, sure, thanks.

Jane?

No, thank you.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hi, Agness.

Just got here.

Okay, I will.

Yeah. No, I know.

Sorry, guys,

I gotta hit it.

Bye-bye.

JAKE:
I've gotta

stop at the market.

Agness made

some pasta thing,

and she ran

out of olive oil.

At least she's

finally cooking.

So, uh, I'll see you guys

at the party tomorrow.

Yeah. It's gonna be so fun.

I told you I'm bringing

someone, right?

No. Who?

Adam, my architect.

You're bringing

your architect?

Yes, I am.

Like, as a date?

Yeah.

- I like the idea.

- Me, too!

Yeah, I think it's gonna really

round everything out nicely.

No one's drinking

wine but me. No?

Here. Now you can stay

another five minutes.

- Hey.

- You have three bottles in there.

Janey, could I speak with

you privately just for a sec?

(SIGHS)

- Okay. Okay.

- Yeah...

All right. I think someone's

talking graduation gift.

(LAUGHS)

What is it, Jake?

I don't get not

calling me back.

Okay, I don't care

what your excuse is.

So, that's it.

She didn't go out, Jane.

She changed her plans.

And every time I tried to

call or write, she caught me.

I wanted to be here.

You know what?

You were worried about
