Seven Girlfriends Page #7

Synopsis: Jesse is charming, romantic, and he knows how to pop the question; he just can't face marriage. So, when he and Hannah split up during the same week that a former fiancée dies, he decides to figure things out. He visits each woman about whom he's been serious to ask what went wrong. His teen flame, an independent woman who sometimes sleeps with him, and a group of lesbians give him advice, as does Anabeth, dead but lively in his dreams. One ex remains furious, but with the help of her inventive colleague, the level-headed insomniac Laura, Jesse even gets to talk to her. It's on to Anabeth's funeral, where he'll see Hannah, and maybe grasp what has been eluding him.

and I think it's up in her room.

It was from one of our first dates,

a little French restaurant.

- Hi.

- [Hannah] Hi.

- What are you?

No.

You look good in black.

- Oh thanks.

(jazzy music)

- I'm very sorry.

(Eduardo scoffs)

- Could you go away please?

- Um, I'm doing something here.

I'll just be a minute.

- Get out of here.

- Hey.

I don't have a problem with you.

- I have a problem with you.

- Yeah?

- [Eduardo] Yeah.

I have a problem 'cause

Anabeth had a problem.

She hated you.

- No she didn't.

- Yeah.

Did she stay in touch?

Hmm?

Did she ever call you even one time?

Just get out of here.

No.

(laughs)

You know what?

You stay.

Look at this.

- I don't want to.

- Look at it.

(snicker)

What's so funny?

- Nothing.

- (scoffs) She took this the first night

that we were together.

- Anabeth liked pictures.

(upbeat dance music)

(yelling)

(grunting)

(thudding)

(muffled yelling)

What is the matter with you?

- Excuse me.

I'll come back.

- This one.

- No, no, no, this one, this one.

(both exclaim)

- Oh my God.

You know him?

- No.

- Wow.

- You know this guy?

- No.

(Eduardo exclaims)

- This one's empty.

- Jesse?

Jesse.

- [Jesse] Sh*t.

Put 'em up here.

I'll do this.

- [Mrs. Phillips] Jesse.

(Eduardo mutters in foreign language)

- Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry up.

- Is everything alright?

- Yes, (chuckles) yes, yes.

- Did you boys find your pictures?

- We're all set.

- Good.

(Eduardo exhales)

(Eduardo laughs)

(Jesse exhales)

- [Jesse] Whoa!

- Hey, hey, hey.

Jesse?

(crowd exclaims)

(grunts)

- [Voiceover] Oh my god!

- Umm.

- Pictures.

Pictures.

Pictures.

Look.

You're gonna hate whatever

it is I have to say.

But,

(gentle music)

somehow I thought that this,

saying goodbye, whatever

it is we're doing here,

would make it all better.

But, hey.

One last surprise Anabeth.

It hurts.

It hurts and it hurts.

Which makes me think.

I'm starting to.

I think, to know how much

you can really love someone,

anyone, you have to let yourself feel

how much it hurts to lose them.

Um, no that it's, that's it.

(sighs) Well, I still have some time.

Maybe I can find a, I

don't know, a christening

or a bar mitzvah to ruin.

(door creaks)

The pictures, the pictures.

(upbeat dance music)

- Um, so.

What?

- Yes.

- Yes what?

- Yes, I'll marry you.

I know that we've got stuff to work out

and chop and heat up and all that,

but that's what you do, right?

- Right.

Oh Hannah.

I can't do this anymore.

We get together, we break up,

we get together, break up.

- How do you know it won't work?

- Because I don't.

We're not right together.

- Oh.

- I'm sorry.

- You know what?

I knew that.

(laughs) My gift must be coming back.

Good news, right?

We're better off as chef/owner anyway.

- We're great at that.

- Yeah.

- Hey guys.

Uh look, I gotta.

My flight's in.

You wanna share a cab to the airport?

- I drove.

- Oh, okay.

Well, I'll see you guys later.

- Do you wanna drive back with me?

- Yeah.

Yeah, that'd be good.

- Okay.

Gimme a second.

- [Roman] Sure.

- I been having this dream about you.

And I know you don't believe this stuff,

but I just thought--

- No, no, no, tell me.

- Somebody gives you a lump of coal.

And you squeeze it and you squeeze it.

And then you turn it into a diamond.

And then you give the

diamond back to the person

who gave you the coal.

(gentle music)

- [Voiceover] She's in there.

Hey boss!

- Yeah?

Oh.

Sh*t.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- I brought ya something.

- Thank you.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

- This place is coming along.

- Yeah.

We just got our certificate of occupancy.

Now all we need's a buyer.

So we're hoping that.

What are you doing here?

Okay.

Thank you.

I mean I think I got all

the information that I need.

Sorta pass that on to the contractor.

What did you bring me?

For Laura.

One good night's sleep.

Milk.

- Which we can warm up.

- Of course.

- The Iceman Cometh.

- You won't get past page four.

- And?

- Pajamas.

With feet.

- This is very sweet Jesse.

Unfortunately I have

tried all those things.

Uh, except those.

- But you haven't tried them all together.

And you haven't tried them in.

Okay, what's the time in your

life when you slept the best?

- Jesse, this worked when

I was nine years old,

coming home from trips.

- So pretend you're nine.

- Okay, but I am not wearing these.

(sighs)

I don't think this is gonna work.

- Come on.

What's the worst that can happen?

I keep driving, you stay awake and,

we'll get to know each other a little bit.

(scatting)

Have love, well baby now, will travel

Say I

Have love, yeah, will travel

And I say if you need

loving, man, will travel

Say I, I travel from Maine to Mexico

Trying to find a little

girl who loves me so

No matter where I go,

no matter where I'll be

I just can't find a girl to satisfy me

Now have love, well

baby now, will travel

Say I, I have love, yeah will travel

And baby if you need a loving man

Will travel

Say I'm traveling light, not heavy baby

So look for me to come past your way

I got all full of loving,

awaiting just for you

I even got a suitcase full of kisses too

Now have love, well will travel

Say I, I have love

I stand no perfume, no makeup

It's me, so what if my face is bare

Dressed up in my father's old sweater

When I slam the door

and run down the stairs

Anywhere the wind blows,

anywhere the sea breaks

Anywhere the Earth quakes,

let this world explode

- Why are we doing this again?

Take me to a new place

- Just dig.

With nothing in my suitcase

I'll go, anywhere the wind blows

The rain, it straightens out my hair

There's people pouring everywhere

And buses, taxis, phones and faxes

But I'm already there

Anywhere the wind blows

Anywhere the wind blows

By the lamplight I promise this room

Anywhere the wind blows,

anywhere the sea breaks

Anywhere the Earth quakes,

let this world explode

Take me to a new place,

got nothing in my suitcase

I'll go, anywhere the wind blows

Anywhere the wind blows,

anywhere the wind blows

Anywhere the wind blows,

anywhere the sea breaks

Anywhere the Earth quakes,

let this world explode

Anywhere the wind blows,

anywhere the sea breaks

Anywhere the Earth quakes,

let this world explode

Anywhere the wind blows,

I'll go, I'll go and I'll go

Anywhere the Earth quakes,

let this world explode

Anywhere the wind blows,

I'll go, I'll go and I'll go
