Lola Versus Page #2

---

- I'm dressed for a barbecue.

- Okay, let's get a drink.

- Okay.

If I gave you all my heart

Would you take it?

Would you break it?

Would you take it?

Don't matter to me

Hello.

Would you tell me that we're through?

Can't tell me it wasn't true

Excuse me? Bartendress?

Or would you lie to me?

Oh, here she is.

- Good? Good?

- Oh, yeah.

- Good?

- Yeah.

What's happening?

.I'm..

- Let it out.

- I'm having a panic attack.

- Okay, okay. Let's go.

- Okay, okay.

Keep going. Excuse us.

- It's okay.

- Sorry.

Bye!

Sorry. Excuse us.

- You okay? Do I need to call 911?

- No. No.

Okay, look, breathe, breathe.

It's okay. Everything's okay. Look at me.

Slow, slow it down.

Good. It's just a bar, okay?

It's just a bar.

Everything's fine. I'm right here.

Okay?

Can you get me a cab?

Yeah, yeah. Just wait right here.

Hold on, I see one.

Oh, taxi?

Hi. Sorry, can you just wait one second?

Hi. Are you at home?

Do you have any of that tea

that makes you skinny?

No, but I crushed as many amphetamines

as I could in here, so that should do the trick.

I feel like an idiot.

I feel like everyone saw it coming but me.

Nobody saw it. It was like f***ing lightning.

- He didn't say anything to you?

- Never.

I mean, all he wanted to do

was have fun when we were out.

I mean, sometimes he'd pretend like he wasn't

in a relationship, but that's what guys do.

It doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Did he cheat on me or...?

No.

Hey, he would never.

I feel like men are always looking

for someone better...

...and women are just looking

for whatever works.

Well, I don't feel like that.

I just want to meet someone

I can hang out with all the time...

...eat bologna with, read sh*t to me.

- I had that person.

- Hey.

Do you remember that time when we did

mushrooms at your parents' country house?

Yeah.

And you made us go into

that swamp full of nasty sh*t...

...because you thought

we owed it to the plant life?

- The plants needed us.

- Right. And then you were convinced...

...that we wouldn't get out of there,

and I calmed you down...

...by singing that slow version

of "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."

We went back in the house and--

Do you remember this story that

I'm telling you again in great detail?

Yeah, it's the best worst night ever.

- What's your point?

- I get you out of swamps.

Hey, it's me again.

It doesn't have to be like this, Lo.

We could still talk

and be in each other's lives, you know?

Hey, it's me again.

You're killing me here.

At least let me know you're okay.

All your stuff is here.

Call me, please.

I haven't changed my underwear

in three days.

Listen, Mom, do you think you could go over

to his place and just pick up my stuff?

I can't do it. I just...

Yeah, just bring it back to my old apartment.

Yeah, use the key that I gave you.

Oh, thank you, Mom.

I love you too.

Okay, I'm gonna go elliptical. Bye.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

You go wild?

What?

- The salmon, did you buy wild?

- Oh.

No, it seems pretty tame to me.

I know there are more important things

to worry about...

...but when you buy fish,

you should try to pay attention to that.

Gotta honor your body, you know?

I'm Nick.

- Hi. Lola.

- Hi.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

Bye.

Anything from Nova Scotia?

Do you shop here a lot?

I can't be picked up right now.

I appreciate the interest,

but I'm in a really bad place.

Gotcha.

I would love to cook you dinner sometime.

Something fresh-caught.

Well, not-- Not by me.

Fresh-bought.

Oh, I don't really like fish.

I'm just eating this because it's salty.

You know, I'm gonna--

I'm gonna give you my number.

You may use it, you may not.

If you do...

...I'm free...

...a week from Friday.

After 7.

But I could do 6:30.

Okay, Leo. "It's time to fasten

your seat belt, kitty cat. Don't hiss at me.

With Uranus, the planet of

lightning-bolt surprises...

...you really never know which way is up.

This is going to be a shitty month."

He said,

"This is going to be a shitty month"?

It's the Voice. They write what they know.

- You know, your mom and I broke up once.

- You did?

Yeah, we decided to date other people.

Seemed like a fun idea, but then we realized

that nobody else really compared.

Heh. Uh...

- Do you think that'll happen to me and Luke?

- No. No, I don't. I hate Luke.

I de-friended him on Facebook already.

He's out.

Thanks.

Okay, love, f*** or kill?

Heh, heh. Hilary Duff, Haylie Duff...

...or any of the Fannings.

You realize they're not related, right?

I'm pretty sure they are.

Wait, I think it's "marry, f***, kill."

What's--? How--? How is it different?

Because I think the assumption is if you--

After you're married, that you don't f***.

- Right.

- Yeah.

- I guess I dodged a bullet, then.

- Pfft.

That was--

Ooh.

Wake up.

Oh, sh*t.

You want breakfast?

No. I have to go.

Here, help me. I have no core.

- Hey.

- Hey.

I'm sorry to surprise you like this,

but you didn't call me back.

Can I talk to you for a sec?

I'm really late for this meeting.

I don't think I can right now.

Yeah, but, look, wait, wait--

Please, just wait a second?

What's that green thing?

Oh. I'm cleansing.

I drink it out of this thing.

The potion.

- Does it work?

- Yeah, it does.

That's good.

So I'm-- I've been...

...you know, thinking about things and--

I don't know,

I might have acted irrationally.

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

I'm-- I'm confused.

Are you seriously doing this right now...

...right before I have to go in

and argue about my dissertation?

Sh*t. I'm sorry. I didn't know.

You didn't return my calls.

I've been really busy.

Look, I...

I know this came out of nowhere...

...and I think I was just overwhelmed

by everything that was happening and...

And now I just--

Are you just doing this

because you're lonely?

No.

I just really wanted to see you.

I really...

...have to go.

Wait.

Essentially, I'll be investigating the use

of silence in 19th-century French literature.

- Are you still using the poetry of Mallarm?

- Yes.

I want to really look at his obsession

with the blank page...

...really exploring the ways in which

his verses engender silence.

I would also like to look at silence

in the media and popular culture.

Well, more of the lack thereof.

Just our communal...

...almost deathly fear of silence.

I don't know what I want.

- Should I give you guys some more time?

- We'll be ready in a minute.

Just stand there.

Um...

I'll have the...

...gnocchi and a glass of the "sangreesha."

Do you mean sangria?

I'm-- We don't have that.

- Do you have wine?

- Yes.

Put fruit cocktail in it.

- Go.

- I'll get that for you.

Can you put fruit cocktail

in a glass of wine for me?

- Hey, Randy. How's the bar stock?

- Pretty empty, like my bank account.

- Hey.

- Hi, Mom.

How are you doing, sweetie? You okay?

- I'm choosing to be alive.

- Well, good.

Listen, I have something really important

to talk to you about, all right?
