Seven Girlfriends Page #2

- Uh, huh.

- Jesse, you can't do that.

Trouble sleeping honey?

- Yeah, a little.

- I'm sorry.

- It's alright.

- I was her age.

- She looks exactly, I

mean, I have a picture.

She's you.

- And about about as mature.

I mean do you remember what I was like?

Do you remember what a

16-year-old girl is like?

I mean she can't concentrate

on one thing for more than

two minutes at the same time, that was me.

I don't even know what you saw in me.

Did you finish the application?

- No, I'm gonna finish it in the morning.

- Hey, you told me it was almost done.

Did you set an alarm?

- Yes.

(playful jazz music)

- Queen of clubs.

But it's a club.

(sighs)

- [Bartender] Chocolate egg cream?

- Yeah.

- So, you and Jesse?

It's for real this time?

- Oh, yeah, absolutely,

are you kidding me?

It is.

- I'm sorry.

- You know sometimes I think you have

the right idea about all of this.

Doesn't it get lonely?

- Yeah, it does.

- [Hannah] I mean, it's been two years.

- Three years.

When Heather left I just thought if I

was gonna be the kinda

father that I wanted to be

and run a restaurant

then I needed to focus.

So, no women, no sex of any kind.

- [Marie] Oh, you found it.

- [Jesse] Oh, my God.

Oh, this took 20 minutes.

- [Voiceover] Come on Marie, big wave.

- So, what went wrong?

- Jesse.

- Come on, there's gotta be at

least one thing you remember.

- Alright, one thing?

There was one thing, when

we were driving you used to

sing along to the radio

in this really high voice,

and, it kinda drove me crazy.

- I was singing harmony, that was it?

You shoulda just said something.

- No it was more than that.

I mean there were some

other things, the gifts.

- The gifts?

- You gave terrible gifts.

- No.

Really?

- I don't remember all

of them, but I remember

the three month anniversary.

- Wait a minute, I remember that.

We bought each other the same thing.

We bought each other

that Miles Davis album.

- Exactly.

- I thought that meant we were

both on the same wavelength.

- No, that meant we both

bought what you wanted.

I didn't listen to that stuff.

- Oh.

- [Voiceover] Okay kids, have fun.

- And there was, I mean

I'm sorry these things

are just coming to me.

- No, no, no, no, no.

This is good.

- There was the sex.

- What?

- It wasn't.

You know, the greatest.

- What do you mean?

It was a little rushed.

- But frequent.

I was 17 years old.

- Don't get upset.

- You were the first,

I was, it was practice.

- I'm not saying that

you didn't get better.

You wanted to know why back then

and I just wanted it

to be a little slower,

a little gentler.

I'm sure you're much better now.

- I am.

- I'm sure you are. (laughs)

Jesse, this isn't gonna work.

- [Jesse] Why not?

- Why a relationship didn't work?

That's not a question you

can get people to answer.

- (laughs) You don't seem to be having

too much trouble.

- No, I'm a very honest person.

But usually the reasons a person tells you

they broke up with you are

never the real reasons.

Honey you are my shining star

Don't you go away

- Okay, I'm gonna go to bed.

But first, come here.

- What?

- Come here and let me hug you.

The worst thing about getting dumped

is right when you need someone to hold you

there isn't anyone.

- This isn't weird, is it?

- No.

Is it?

- No.

It's nice.

- You know, I think at some

level I designed my whole life

so I would never have

to be up at this hour.

- Jesse does this every morning.

- Well then I'll give him a raise.

If I don't fire him first.

- Michael!

Stay close.

- Salmon.

Supposed to smell like cantaloupe.

- [Man] Seriously?

- That's what Jesse says.

- Yeah.

- [Hannah] Yeah?

- We'll take this one.

- We'll take it.

Okay, now I'm gonna do everything I can

to not think about Jesse at all.

At all.

So you can help me by keeping me occupied.

Okay?

- Well, who's doing this tomorrow?

You or me?

We could do it together again.

- [Hannah] No!

- And then I could take

you out to breakfast.

- Oh forget it.

- Or maybe I should take

you out to dinner tonight.

- Dinner, dinner?

(snoring)

- Morning Joe.

- Morning.

- Morning.

(Marie sighs)

- [Marie] Is Daphne up yet?

- Yep.

- [Marie] Is she working

on her applications?

- I don't know.

- [Marie] Well she should be.

- Oh give it a f***ing rest Marie.

- Hey this is important.

- Then I'm sure she'll get it done.

- You don't know that.

- She's a responsible girl.

- Yeah, she's a responsible

girl because I'm the one

who made her responsible.

- Well then you should trust--

- [Jesse] Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

- Let's talk about what's

really going on here.

This isn't about Daphne's

application, alright?

It's a simple stupid misunderstanding.

We were talking.

And we fell asleep.

- No Jesse.

It is about Daphne's application.

- [Daphne] Which I finished.

- Good girl.

Save us all a lot of shouting.

Did you proofread?

- Of course.

Come on, let's go take a shower.

- At least I know where she is at night.

And I know she's using protection.

It's not perfect, but it works for now.

- You know it's sorta horrifies me

that I spent all night with you

and I didn't get that you're divorced.

- Yeah, you might wanna

add that to the list.

- [Jesse] It's great to see you.

- Yeah, you too.

(upbeat music)

- Thanks.

Yes, she's rare,

precious and she's gone

- Hey.

- [Marie] Hey.

She was soft in your hands,

now she's shattered your plans

I'm sympathetic but

you gotta understand

- Hey, it's a voice from your past

It's Jesse.

Listen, I'm gonna be in your neighborhood

on Friday or Saturday and, I'd

like to stop in and see you.

If that's not okay for any reason,

gimme a call at 801-555-0133.

Otherwise, I'll see ya then.

I, hear you don't have a,

man in your life at the moment.

(pensive music)

What do you think?

- Perfect.

- Sh*t.

(laughs) Oh my!

- [Man In Beret] Who is that?

- [Jesse] I have no idea.

- She's beautiful.

- You're married.

- Oh thanks, I forgot.

I'm glad you're here to remind me.

- [Jesse] Hi.

- Hi.

- [Jesse] You scared us.

- I'm sorry.

I was just passing by and I noticed

you were writing on the wall, I.

- We're having a party.

Come on in, come on in.

My ex-girlfriend sent me this coal.

We're trying to think of

something constructive

to do with it.

- Hmm, did you deserve it?

- Um, yeah.

- Definitely.

I'm just gonna get those streamers, I was.

- Did you think about burning it or?

- A**hole landlord won't

let me use the fireplace.

- I'm Jesse.

- Anabeth.

A**hole landlord's daughter.

- Uh hmm, you don't look like him.

- No, thank God.

- Uh this will come right off.

- You know what, it doesn't matter.

But maybe you should close the blinds.

My father will have a heart attack.

- Sure enough.

- Alright well, I better get going.

It's nice meeting you.

- You too.

Hey!

Will you marry me?

- A**hole landlord wouldn't approve.

But, maybe I'll come to your party.
