it might be nice

to have someone who...

Marty, you don't even understand.

You've never been in a relationship

for more than a month.

You don't know what it's like...

to date a guy who treats you

more like a sister than a lover.

You break off every relationship

before it even gets to that.

Marty, no.

L-I really... I don't think

anything's wrong with that.

I actually think all women should

break up with guys after two months...

to avoid having to feel

the way I did with Jeremy.

When things started cooling down,

I felt like it was my fault...

like I wasn't attractive enough,

like I wasn't good enough.

I know I'm not, but anyway,

I really... I didn't mean it as a put-down.

No, I know you didn't. Listen, if I thought

you were putting me down, I'd kick your ass.

So what's wrong?

I'm pregnant.

Are you sure?

- Do you know whose it is?

- Of course I know whose it is.

Just because I've been out with a lot of guys

doesn't mean I've slept with them all.

Can I ask?

You don't know him.

He's just some guy.

- Did you tell him?

- No. I don't even know what I'm gonna do yet.

Oh, God, Marty. I'm so sorry.

Here I am going on and on about myself...

No, it's fine, really. I mean,

it helped me get my mind off of it.

It actually helped.

Well, I still feel like a jerk.

So what are you gonna do?

What can I do?

Well, I mean, is the guy willing

to help at least financially?

Yeah, I guess so.

He owns his own business.

You know what? I can't...

I can't really talk about this right now.

It's just... It was good

to tell someone. Thanks.

[Cliff]

Kerri, dinner.!

You know what? You really don't have to

stay for dinner. I completely understand.

Any chance your mom's got some

Mountain Dew ice cubes in the freezer?

- I'm cravin' 'em.

- I'll check.

Okay. Oh, hey.

What's the deal with the skivvies

under the mattress?

You know when you go camping and you put

your food up in a tree to keep it away

from the bears?

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, when you have a 13-year-old brother...

you take the same precautions

with your underwear.

- Ew, f***.

- Yeah.

[Biscuit]

All right. What's it gonna be?

- Him or me?

- Jer, look, you gotta do this.

If he goes over there,

we are gonna get kicked out of here.

We may even wind up in a fight.

Do you see her friend?

She looks a little scrappy.

I think she can take us.

I don't wanna do this.

I really don't.

I told you, I'm not ready for it.

- Okay, the choice is made.

- No, no, no.

- I'm going in.

- Wait. Jer, come on.

I've seen this a million times.

If he goes, it ain't gonna be pretty.

Look, if you go, it may go fine,

it may go bad.

But at least we'll get to stay here.

If he goes, we're gonna get kicked

out of here. Maybe even 86'd for good.

Is that what you want? Imagine never

stepping foot in the Bootlegger again.

Come on, man.

You gotta do this for all of us.

Look at her, man.

She's cute as hell.

Why don't you go then, Gil?

Because if I go over there,

I'm gonna leave with that broad.

In which case, you'd be stuck

here alone with Biscuit.

Look, look! Her friend is going

to the ladies' room. Now's the time.

- Come on. Do this, will ya?

- Hey. Hey.

Put in a good word for me

with her friend.

Biscuit, that chick could eat you.

- If I play my cards right.

- [Chuckles]

Can I buy you a drink?

Uh, I don't think so.

Just thought I'd ask.

That's a... That's a nice tattoo.

I've got one too. I've got a "W" tattooed

on each of my ass cheeks.

When I bend over, it says "Wow."

I'm Jeremy.

- I'm Lea.

- Hi, Lea.

- Can I be honest with you for a second?

- Sure.

- Would you like a drink?

- Oh, l... I really can't.

- I'm sorry. Sorry.

- Thanks.

I really didn't wanna come over here...

but, uh, if I didn't, one of my friends

over there was going to.

- And, well, I can tell by looking at you,

you seem like a nice person.

- [Bottles Clanking]

So, I wanted to save you from them.

Oh. Thanks, I think.

It's not that I'm not attracted to you,

'cause I am.

It's just that I'm engaged.

Oh, you're engaged?

Well, not right now, but, uh, I was.

We broke up.

Uh-huh. So what you're trying to tell me

is you're trying to get over somebody.

Uh, no. L...

My friends...

over there want me

to get over someone.

But I'm not sure I'm ready

to get over her.

- Who broke the engagement?

- Uh, she did.

Why?

- I don't know.

- Oh, you don't wanna talk about it.

Uh, no. I mean, I don't know

why she broke off the engagement.

Well, did she just walk out on you?

Uh, well, no.

I actually moved out.

You moved out after

she called off the engagement?

But you still don't know

why she called it off?

Did you love this girl?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, I did.

I still do.

Then how do you not know what happened?

Aren't you a little curious?

I really didn't wanna get into this with you.

I just wanted to buy you a drink.

How's a man just walk away from the woman

he loves and just shrug it off?

I'm not. There's a lot more to it

that I don't care to get into right now.

I don't understand.

I mean, you say that you love this woman.

And you must because you asked her

to marry you, but then when things

get a little strained, you just walk away?

- What the f*** is that?

- You...

Wait. Maybe I just got cold feet, all right?

Maybe I wasn't sure I was ready to get married yet.

- But apparently she wasn't either because

she was the one that called it off.

- Oh, well, how convenient for you.

She was probably just scared or nervous

and needed a little bit of reassurance from you.

I bet she would have loved to have known you

were having doubts and were nervous too...

so that you guys could overcome

them together, or at least try.

But... You did not love this girl.

Now, wait a minute. L-I did...

Yes, I did love... I still do.

What is with you? I should have sent Biscuit

over here. You're right up his alley.

I just wanted to buy you a drink,

and then tell my friends you were married

so they wouldn't bother you.

I was helping you out, believe it or not.

So, just... You know what? Good night.

Can I still have that drink?

That-That was the original plan, right?

Uh...

Yeah, yeah, I guess.

I could use one anyway. Tim.

- What'll it be?

- Alabama slammer and a shot of tequila.

Uh, yeah, two of those.

You are full of surprises. I never would

have guessed that would be your order.

- Oh.

- Anything you wanna talk about?

No, I just... I like to have fun, that's all.

This seems to help.

Well, here is to fun.

[Woman]

No.!

- You a**hole!

- What the f*** did you do that for?

She's an alcoholic, a**hole!

We were only in here testing her will.

- How would I know that?

- Why else would we be in this hellhole?

- Oh, come on, Lea. Let's go.

- No! I wanna stay here and drink with my friends!

- Lea, come on!

- No, I wanna stay!

- Come on!

- I wanna stay!

F***! I guess we're not

gonna hook up tonight, huh?

I hope Kerri's better

at the single life than he is.

I think you chipped a tooth.
