Seven Girlfriends Page #6

I could tell you in person.

Hannah, I'm sorry.

- Jesse, I don't think I realized

how important Anabeth was to you.

I'm sorry too.

- Uh, listen there are

people waiting for the phone.

I'll call you soon, okay?

- Uh, bye.

- Bye.

(women exclaim)

(upbeat music)

- Gotta go.

- Wait!

- No, I don't think so.

I think coming here was a mistake.

- He's never gonna know we were here.

- That's not what I meant.

I got a funeral to get to.

But you never see the end of the road

While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know that they won't win

Don't let them win

Hey now, hey now

(knocking at door)

- [Laura] Who is it?

- [Hannah] A friend of Jesse's.

Lisa gave me your address.

- [Laura] Hi.

- Hi.

I'm sorry about the time.

- Oh, it's alright, I was up.

- He's here, isn't he?

- He was.

Why don't you come in?

- I can't stay.

- I wasn't actually offering,

but would you like something to drink?

- You just made some coffee, didn't you?

But you spilled it on your shoes.

- You must be Hannah.

- Uh huh.

- I didn't make any coffee, but I could.

- Careful, don't spill that.

- I won't.

- Thank you.

(scoffs) I was so sure he was still here.

I feel it, I feel like he's still here.

You're sure he's not here.

- I'm sure.

- You're not lying to me?

- No.

- Jesse!

- He's not here.

(gentle pop music)

The moon up there

Oh

Father moon, father sun

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one

The bad times run slowly

And the good times run oh mother moon

And father sun

Look what your boy has done

I was all alone

And alone I wondered

(knocking at door)

- I'm so sorry about your daughter.

(sighs)

- What are you doing here?

- Mrs. Phillips, please.

- Alright.

You can clean up upstairs.

(jazzy dance music)

- [Roman] Jesse, you are a saint.

- [Jesse] Yeah well-

- [Roman] This is not my

idea of a bachelor's party.

- [Both] It's not a bachelor party.

- You should slow down.

- I'm fine.

You are more than fine.

You are the finest.

- Hey you guys.

- [Jesse] Hey Rochelle.

- Hey roomie.

- [Jesse] Steve, how ya doin'?

Hey, what's up?

- They want a toast.

(bottles clinking)

- Hey right here.

- [Roman] Over here.

- Everybody.

(whistles)

Your attention please.

I would like to propose a toast

to my beautiful bride to be

and let her know that I

don't mind in the least

that she's going off to Mexico without me

and leaving me here to do

all the last minute work.

Not at all, that's fine.

(crowd laughing)

I um, never expected to find

myself in this position.

I never expected to be

so in love with someone

that, every night I go to bed thinking

my life can't get any better.

And then every morning I wake up wrong,

because she's there.

And my life is better.

And as long as you're with me,

I hope to be wrong every night.

(crowd exclaims)

- A toast!

- [Voiceover] Here here.

(crowd cheers)

(panting)

(wretches)

- Hey Rochelle.

- Hey.

(laughing) Is he gonna be alright?

- He always is.

- Good.

Last opportunity as a single man.

(scoffs)

- [Voiceover] Hey, hasta

luego, going to bed, huh?

- [Voiceover] We'll see you guys later.

- [Voiceover] Bye guys.

Have a good trip.

- Don't work too hard.

- Never do.

Hey, bring me some of that

tequila with the worm in it.

- Oh, that is the last thing you need.

(giggles)

I love you.

- [Jesse] I love you too.

- [Voiceover] Bye.

Have fun.

- [Voiceover] Don't worry.

- Uh hey, hey.

Hey, no.

I don't think so.

I gotta be getting home.

(panting)

(knocking at door)

- Hey, guess whose flight got canceled?

- [Jesse] Sh*t.

- [Anabeth] Hey, I'm at the airport.

Our flight got cancelled.

Where are you?

Oh, you must have the ringer off.

Oh well.

I've got a 7:
30 am flight,

so I guess I won't see you

'til I get back.

I love you.

I love you. (giggles)

(doorbell rings)

- Listen to me.

Last night was an unbelievable mistake.

I am so sorry.

I love you.

And if you can forgive me,

I promise you it will never happen again.

Eh, I, it was incredibly immature.

I was drunk.

But I was thinking.

Doesn't it freak you out

just a little bit, the idea

that you'll never make love

with anyone else, ever again?

After a life of having

sex with whoever you want.

Doesn't that scare you?

Just a little bit.

And not just the sex, the whole idea that

one person becomes your life.

Doesn't that freak you

out just a little bit?

- That was you?

- What do you mean?

- I thought it was Rochelle and Steve.

- No.

Sh*t.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Anabeth.

We can get past this.

- [Anabeth] No, we can't.

- What do you want me to say?

Please, just would you talk to me?

(grunts)

Don't do this.

- It's over.

(sad music)

(knocking)

- [Roman] Jesse, it's Roman.

- [Jesse] Hey.

(both exhale)

- God, it's weird being

back in this house.

- Let's get outta here.

Let's drive straight down to Seaside,

skip this whole thing.

- Come on, we're gonna be late.

(quiet organ music)

- You see who walked in here?

Jesse.

- [Voiceover] It's Jesse.

(crowd murmers)

- It's a particularly

difficult job I have today.

We're gathered here to pay

our respects to someone

taken from us long before

her promise was fulfilled.

And it's almost impossible to reconcile

how we thought of Anabeth a week ago

with how we see her today.

One of the hardest things I

find myself having to explain

is why things like this

are allowed to happen.

(crowd murmers)

Why our young people,

people so full of potential

taken from us, with no warning.

Sir.

- [Jesse] Keep going.

- There'll be private

time after the service.

- I said I was sorry.

- Sir, I need you to sit down.

- [Roman] Jesse.

- Leave me alone.

- I loved you.

I would have made our marriage work.

- That is such bullshit.

- It's not!

I love you.

- Now.

You love me now.

We'd have a great relationship

if I'd pulled an Isadora

Duncan every month.

You picture us having dinner in a balloon,

romantic music.

- We did have dinner in a balloon.

- There was no music.

You added the music.

You're only remembering the good stuff.

You know we had huge, horrible fights too.

- That doesn't matter.

You were the one.

- What is this one?

There is no such thing as the one.

There are people who are more right

and people who are less right.

You choose someone who is more right

and you work at it.

- I know that.

- It doesn't seem like it.

It seems like you've been

pretending that I'm the one.

So you won't have to try with anyone else.

- [Priest] All rise please.

- Okay?

(sobbing)

- Excuse me.

Do you know who that is?

- That's Eduardo.

Anabeth's fiance.

- I should talk to him later.

- No, don't.

He doesn't like you very much.

- He's not the only one.

(energetic music)

- [Jesse] You ever been to a wake before?

- No, you?

- Where'd she meet this charmer?

Mrs. Phillips.

There was a picture of me and Anabeth
