Sex And Death 101 Page #4
of the bigger mistakes
I've ever made.
But if you convince me to stay,
and you can't back it up
with every inch of your soul,
then you will be a true villain.
- Good call, buddy!
- Ah!
You made the right
decision, Mr. Blank,
but it's not like
you had much of a choice.
Whoo!
[snorts]
Okay, what's happening?
Where am I?
Who are you people?
Hello, Mr. Blank.
I'm Alpha, he's Beta,
and that's Fred.
[Beta]
We're here to tell you everything, Mr. Blank.
This isn't a dream,
and it isn't a dream
within a dream, either.
You're not going
to wake up at the end,
and I'm your gardener
and these are your pool boys.
This is about the list, isn't it?
[scoffs]
Of course it's about the list!
You must be freaking out.
Seriously, what number
are you at right now--
Down, Fred.
Mr. Blank...
some people you don't know
found some things you don't know
in a place you don't know.
And these things have been
very useful in making a new thing.
One that apparently
knows everything.
A thing that knows everything,
like a computer, a supercomputer.
I prefer the word "machine."
Now, this machine will take
a few lifetimes to figure out,
and I wouldn't go as far
as to call it an oracle,
but it is...oraclesque.
Last week, it sent out
about 2,900 e-mails,
answers to questions nobody asked--
not us, not the e-mail recipients.
Almost everyone received nothing more
than an individual date--
day, month, year.
You're very lucky you didn't
get that one, Mr. Blank.
It was the day
of the recipient's death.
But then there's you.
Yes, a few of the e-mails
drew an unnatural
attention to themselves.
Well, yeah, but yours
is the best, far and away.
A list of everyone you're
going to have sex with?
Oh man, this other poor dick
got the same list.
One name!
The wife that he lost
his virginity to.
What a sap!
- Fred--
- I mean, can you imagine?
[Beta]
Fred!
Mr. Blank, I think you know
where I'm going with this.
If people were to find out
about the machine,
it would cause panic
and confusion and--
You're threatening me?
Not to be a smart-ass.
If your little oracle is for real,
then I can't die
before bedding down
the last lady on the list.
Grand to finally
meet you, Mr. Blank.
The door is at
the end of the hall.
Yeah, and if you
have any questions,
drop in any time, bro.
Can't believe
I believe all this.
But you do,
and we appreciate it.
You've been guaranteed
a robust sex life, Mr. Blank.
That should be enough for you.
Lose the list.
Burn it, bury it,
whatever you need to do.
If you let the list in your life,
it will infect
every fiber of your being.
Bye-bye.
[chatter]
[bike bell rings]
I like him.
He seems sensible.
Hey, hey, uh, almighty, all-knowing guys?
You just confirmed the validity
of a list of 101 sure things.
Okay? So, a list like that,
doesn't get burned or buried.
It gets used.
And I mean, it gets, like,
crazy-montage-sequence used.
"French-New Wave,
learning Gymkata,
I can't believe they could afford
that song" montage.
[laughing]
It's gonna be f***ing nuts!
He's just--
He's going to f*** a lot.
[New Wave]
[sighs]
I'm surrounded softly
By the beat
Still dumbfounded
By the intolerable heat
You came close to me
And you danced
It came close to
Being my last
I'll take what's mine
Before I regret it
I'm saving that seat
for a friend.
What's your name?
Kathleen, Mr. Manners.
- That's a shame.
- What did you say?
Oh, I said, it's a nice name.
Roderick Blank.
Ooh, first and last names,
how formal.
- Well...
- Ah.
Here's my standing up friend
and colleague Greta Sampsa.
This is the guy who took your seat.
Greta Sampsa, now that's
a fantastic name.
What would you like?
A slow, nasty f***
on the coffee table.
Would you like that
with Bacardi or Myer's?
Bacardi.
[laughs]
Did you know I was
talking about a drink?
Maybe, maybe not.
I'll take what's mine before I...
This your only piece of ID?
You swear you're
not named after
anyone else in your family?
Listen, you're cute and I'm drunk,
and my plane is grounded
until tomorrow,
but if you want to--
I'll take what's mine
Before I...
Noreen!
Leslie and Yuca!
- Here you go.
- Thanks, Bill.
Enjoy.
[Bill]
Julie!
You're having my sex
You're sleeping with my wife
You're having my kids
and the time of my life
You're writing my book
You're starring in my film
You have the number one
and my number ten
We could be such
very good friends
If you let me in
The higher the gates,
the longer the wait
Please let this poor boy sin
You're having my sex
You're sleeping with my wife
You're having my kids
and the time of my life
You're writing my book
You're starring in my film
[Narrating] I'd say that
I was mature and content.
But if you have to say
that stuff out loud,
it can't possibly be true.
I thought I was above
all the hot chicks,
high-five,
beer-commercial bullshit.
I was above nothing.
The list was life.
Have a startling and unique day,
- Mr. Blank.
- Thank you.
Wait a second,
how did you know my name?
Swallows is the case study
in my business class.
I thought I'd get some first-hand experience
and make a little money
at the same time.
Very little money.
That's fascinating...
Alexis.
Alexis de Large.
Wait a minute.
How did you know my last name?
Yeah, yeah!
That's the way you like it.
[Man] Well, yes, I find
the honey mustard sauce
really brings out the flavor.
Pull my hair.
[Man]
What?
Up to the window.
[gasping]
Have a startling
and u-- u-- u--
[Man] Is it too late
[Roderick narrating]
April to August,
I went from number 29
to number 62.
Maybe I was moving too fast.
But then, I guess
I was supposed to.
I crossed out the names,
but remembered the faces.
Their stare, my stare.
We think if we exchange
the meaningful stare,
the meaning will kick in later.
But does it?
One or both of you
try to say something like,
"It's just sex."
But is it?
[beeps]
[Woman] You think sending me
a bunch of roses
- is going to make me--
- [beeps]
[Woman #2]
You think paying my car insurance
- is going to make me forget that you cheat--
- [beeps]
[Woman #3]
A stuffed animal?
I overheard a waitress say
you paid off her car ins--
[beeps]
[Zack]
Earth to Roderick Blank!
Stop having hot sex.
Get your ass up to the house
for a barbeque.
It is my boy Max's birthday.
Or my son Kyle. Be here!
[beeps]
[Narrating]
When my wedding was canceled,
there had been a chill
among the married folk.
You'd have thought
I'd left them at the altar.
But now they kind of
like having me around.
The ladies' man.
Lizzie is an amazing
woman, Zack.
I mean, what she's done with that clinic.
[whistles]
The way she's raised
your two kids.
Yeah, yeah, my wife's
a goddamn saint.
Now, this stewardess,
did she say,
"Come on my ass"
or "Come in my ass?"
Oh, Roderick's definition
