My Favorite Five Page #8

Okay, okay, okay.

You see anybody?

Okay.

Shh!

Taking

a three-games-to-one lead

Over the blazers,

but Portland came...

Let's go around the back.

Okay.

Come here.

Hey!

Rebecca!

What...

- Shelly?

- Busted!

What are you doing here?!

Mm-hmm,

I caught these two whispering

- on the phone last week.

- No, no, no, no.

You knew and didn't tell me?

Did you really want to know?

It's not what you think.

I can't believe you!

- I can explain this.

- You're fired.

- Let's go.

- No, no, no, no.

- Rebecca. Rebecca, no.

- Eric. Eric.

- Baby, baby. Rebecca.

- Let's go.

Rebecca!

Rebecca, this is... no, no.

This is not what you think,

baby. I swear to God.

You're lying. You're cheating!

It's not what you think!

No, no, no!

No!

- Done!

- What?

She totally ruined

your spray tan!

Rebecca!

Well, now you know.

And you think

that's a good thing?

I told you, this is why

you don't commit to a man.

You are setting yourself up

for failure every time.

You're pathetic.

Excuse me?

I don't want to live

- in your cold, loveless world.

- Rebecca, i...

No, I can't believe

you didn't tell me!

I was trying to save you.

Just take me to my car.

Close the deal, hailey.

Close the deal.

Hi.

Hi. Mwah.

Come in.

This is for you.

Riesling... my favorite.

Oh, and already chilled.

Nice touch.

I remembered

you ordered it at dinner.

I hope it's not too sweet.

I am sure it'll be perfect.

You look amazing.

And I thought your father

might enjoy these Cubans.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Why don't you just sit here?

And I'll... open this up for you.

Can I help you open the wine?

Oh.

Sure.

Voil.

Mm!

Mm, mm, mm, baby.

That was "master chef" good.

Well, my mother always

told me the way to a man's heart

Is through his pants,

but if you want him

To come home every night,

have dinner waiting.

Well, your father

is a very lucky man.

Well, the irony is that

although she had great advice,

That never really worked

for her.

You know,

you never really talk much

About yourself or your family.

Not much to talk about.

Come on, now.

Everyone has a story.

True.

What's yours?

You're a successful

entrepreneur.

Mm-hmm.

How do you maintain in

such a tough economical climate?

Well, it's not easy.

Do you own or rent?

I own.

Was your business

ever in trouble?

Yeah.

Um... last year,

we barely made it.

Well, how did you make it?

Did you have to borrow money?

- Did you stiff your creditors?

- Christopher:

What?

I'm just asking.

I mean, you live

in such a nice house.

You pay, what,

10 grand in mortgage a month?

And you had to stop taking

a salary because you couldn't

- pay for your house, right?

- Wait, wait.

How do you know exactly how much

I pay in mortgage?

Oh, I know a lot about you,

Christopher, Chrissy-poo.

Didn't you use money from your

company to pay for your house?

W-well, yeah,

but why are you asking...

What is that?

Are you taping me?

Yes.

And now you will pay

h.Q. Distributors

The $5 million you owe them.

Wow.

I paid them this morning.

How? You're broke

until you launch your new game.

Who are you?

I was hired

to retrieve their money.

So, um...

So, all of this

was just business?

I was just doing my job.

Well, your client

got their money.

So you did a great job.

You're done.

So are we.

Whatever...

Ooh, ooh.

Can I speak with you, please?

Just the lady I want to see.

How did you do it?

I didn't.

I do hope you didn't

cross the line, sweetheart,

Because I just grilled h.Q.

For $1 million,

And they are going

to refer five...

Count them...

Five other companies to us.

Dad.

What, what?

Oh, God.

Uh-oh.

I think I messed up.

Ooh.

Ooh, look at me.

Look at me.

What do you know?

Does he know?

No.

So, what are we

going to do about this?

I don't know.

I, um, thought i...

Hailey, hi, honey.

I didn't know

you were gonna be here.

Oh, good lord.

Baby, what's wrong with you?

She fell in love.

Robert, out.

- What? I...

- Out, go.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, baby.

Go, go, go.

Please, go.

Quicker.

Ooh!

So, finally caught up

with you, huh?

Mother, please, don't gloat.

I'm sorry.

I'm not. I'm not honey.

Baby, you can't live your life

outside the rules of love.

Sometimes you love.

Sometimes you lose.

But in the end,

What is life without love?

But I don't want to love!

I just... i just want order.

I just want things

to make sense!

And you think dating

five men in the answer, hmm?

Well, dating one didn't

work out too well for you.

I can still hear you, you know?

Shh out there!

I'm just scared.

I'm scared of...

Of choosing the wrong man.

Honey,

Avoiding the decision

Only prolongs

the inevitable result,

All the while making the worst

decisions along the way.

If marriage is so wonderful,

Then why are you and dad

both divorced and miserable?

I'll be back.

Baby, about that,

I, uh... hailey.

Why didn't you tell her?

Wasn't time.

Mm.

Thank you for being here.

Well, if you can't eat ice cream

And male-bash with your friend,

what are you good for?

And thank you.

No, really.

Thank you for forgiving me.

Mm, I haven't forgiven you.

No, I'm just... I'm thinking

of ways to make you pay.

Hey, why not call in a reserve?

You know, go out tonight?

How many are you down to?

And then there were none.

What? Even t.I.?

Found a girlfriend.

Chased down some purse-snatcher

for this chick and fell in love.

Geez.

I cannot

imagine that man running.

Oh, I wouldn't want to.

Well, what about Matthew?

Matthew dumped me.

Said he was bored and I w...

I wasn't smart enough for him.

Ew.

Not good enough for you.

No.

Yeah, but,

have you called Christopher?

Of course not.

He hates me.

He could have blasted

you to h.Q., but he didn't.

I just wouldn't know

what to say to him.

All right. Come on.

We're getting out of the house.

Mnh-mnh.

I don't want to go anywhere.

Oh, well, you have to.

Hey, no more death by ice cream.

This is your third this week.

Put it down.

Put it down.

- Come on, let's go.

- Hailey:

- Come on!

- Okay, I'll go.

Shots, too, if you can.

I said it twice, man.

I know she heard me.

And this is why

I'm done with women.

Oh.

You gonna start dating men now?

'Cause we terrible.

I can tell you that.

Shut up, man.

I'm just... I'm just all about

my business from now on.

Okay, and what if you find

the love of your life?

Christopher:

I don't see that happening.

What if it already has?

Well, if that was it,

Then I was ray Charles

to all that

'Cause I missed it.

You missed it because

you wanted to miss it, man.

Just... leave it alone, man?

Okay. I'll leave it alone.

Thank you.

Hailey was everything

you've been talking about lately,

Everything you were looking for

in a woman.

All right, now I'm leaving it

alone. I just had to tell you.

Yeah, everything.

She was a liar.

She was manipulative.

She was conniving.

Everything, huh?

And according to Sybil,

she's sorry.

She's sorry?

Yeah, sorry...
