...right now?
I just go out and play good,
hard-nosed basketball.
Things happen throughout the game.
It's nothing you can do.
I don't go out and say I'll
to beat this or that guy up.
Anything else, X?
Steve, don't come yet.
God!
I'm in love with my neighbor.
Why don't you call me, Cliff?
What can I eat?
for this guy.
Salad!
I'll have a salad.
If I call him that's being desperate.
He's late or he forgot.
I refuse to remind him he forgot.
If he shows up, I'll listen.
But no way do I call him.
Of course, men do like to be called.
I'll call him in 10 minutes.
That will be one hour and
that is officially very late.
He is officially very late.
If I make this basket,
that's fate telling me to call him.
Two out of three.
Wait!
Did no basket mean call him or don't
call him?
Busy. That's a sign.
Fate says don't call.
Forget it.
I'm not desperate.
I have many, many people
to spend a Saturday with.
Stop getting involved with your neighbors.
- Is that what broke us up?
- We're better as friends.
...he has all this fierce integrity.
Except when it comes to women.
He likes...
...these club-type women.
These huge, hourglass Amazon women.
I think it's great you're together
but protect yourself.
So I'm not an Amazon woman?
You're from the high plains.
I'm so glad I live here.
Are my breasts too small?
God!
Because, I mean...
...I look around
and all I see are these...
...posters and billboards
and magazines...
...and TV shows all with
these women with huge breasts.
And I guess...
...I just wanted to ask,
is that what men really want?
I mean, is that what you want?
You know?
Don't lie, because your eye twitches
and I'll know.
Ask me.
Are my breasts too small?
Sometimes.
Have you had implants before?
What do you think?
No.
You take a couple of days
and make up your mind.
We skew the size specifically
to what you want...
...by graph, right.
Well, what's painfuI?
It can be mildIy painfuI and certainly
safety is on everybody's mind...
...mine in particular.
Right.
Take a couple of days and
think about it. All right.
Heard you on the phone. I'm in.
I don't need a couple of days.
How about...
...that?
Maybe for your frame,
something a little less...
...hourglass.
have the operation...
...have the operation.
Do you jog?
A little.
Maybe...
Split the difference?
Split the difference.
Hi, it's me.
I'm tired of doing the right thing...
...waiting for you to call me.
I'm on the bed right now...
...wearing something really outrageous.
I've got no underwear on.
I need to be touched.
I'm burning for you, Cliff.
I think you got the wrong number,
but I'll be right over.
This guy plays no games.
That's great!
I've got to play this one perfectly.
Go with it.
What do your instincts tell you?
Not to listen to you guys.
She doesn't want you
tugging at her bra strap.
She wants mystery.
She wants drama.
She wants excitement.
I know women.
I don't want drama.
I don't want excitement.
I want to trust him.
Should I trust him?
Not all guys are like Luiz.
You're right.
You're right.
Steve is different.
Will you just follow your instincts?
Don't treat this like casuaI sex.
CasuaI sex doesn't even exist anymore.
It's lethaI. It's over.
What are you thinking?
If I had a conversation with God,
I'd ask him to create this girI.
My chest hurts.
You didn't leave a note, did you?
I left my blue T-shirt by mistake.
There are no mistakes!
What's that mean?
Give me the phone.
I'm going to call my new...
...semi-girlfriend.
You don't realize.
You'll scare her off.
She's beautifuI.
Anyone would call her.
You distinguish yourself
by not calling her.
P.S. That's how you get her.
Bailey, you don't understand.
Remember your last 3 girlfriends?
You're right.
I got to let this one breathe.
You're concerned about dioxins.
I'll give you Greenpeace's number.
How'd it go?
I got the boat.
Trip to Alaska's set.
Great, Linda! That's great!
Steve on 2.
Four days he waits to call me.
What do I tell him?
I went for groceries.
She went for groceries.
He's coming over.
'Nothing'?
Nothing is wrong.
Really.
- I thought we connected.
- This is a really small office.
- Is this because I didn't call?
- I don't remember. Did you call?
Why are you being like this?
I like you. It was cooI meeting you.
I'll call you or you call me.
Look, I'm sorry if I blew it
by not calling you.
You don't owe me.
You don't have to call me.
Is it that old boyfriend
who always calls?
He doesn't always call.
- He probably has a ponytaiI.
- No.
He's Mr. Sensitive PonytaiI Man.
He's not Mr. Sensitive PonytaiI Man.
You're scared to get close to me.
You don't know me enough to say that.
- I think I do.
- No, you don't.
Let's not play games.
If I was playing games I'd have
waited a week to call.
What I mean is-
I got to work, Steve.
- Bye, Steve.
- I left my T-shirt at your-
Why?
Why do you talk such a good game?
You talk about things that matter...
...that get me excited, that get me hot.
Then it's like...
...you're lobotomized.
Why can't I just protect myself?
Why can't I just...
...be a buddy?
Glad I caught this one in time.
Can't leave myself open.
Better to be the dumper
than the dumpee.
Listen, Mom, if he
invited you to Hawaii, yes...
...he probably wants something.
And who cares?
Dad's been gone for 2 years.
Listen. Listen, Mom!
Look, Debbie.
I'm having a bad sugar crash.
Could you just hold it down?
Wait a second.
Rinse off your dishes
before you put them in the dishwasher.
I rinsed them.
No, you have to rinse off all the food
or it gets over everything.
I found this big little
chunky thing on my glass.
No biggie.
Wish me luck on my video
for Expect the Best.
This is for Expect the Best?
I brought some clippings,
some possible looks for my video.
Here we have the Edie Sedgwick.
You know?
Pseudo-Brigitte Bardot.
Or we jet on over to Spain
for the depressed millionairess.
And...
...I love these earrings
that nobody loves but me.
Truth?
Truth.
I will create your new look.
I will have men dying at your feet.
$ 10 extra...
...and Brian will shoot your video.
He doesn't even know me.
Debbie...
...he is only, like,
the next Martin Scorcese.
I'm in your hands.
I am Debbie Hunt.
If you want to see how I look
rewind and freeze frame.
But I am not about...
...looks.
I crave responsibility,
respectability and love.
My goals are serenity and knowledge...
...and men who can understand me.
No druggies, please.
I'm fairly intense.
And I'm an advertising exec...
...at KRWE-TV.
That's me!
Come to Debbie Country.
'Debbie Country. '
It's funny.
'Doghouse. '
It should be 6 or 7 songs.
- They want me to come out.
- Stone's right. They're friends.
'Doghouse' as an encore, man.
You can't start off with that.
