- On her way.

- You are so wrong.

College is a four-year delusion so

you don't have to deal with reality.

You're lambs waiting to be

slaughtered, you undergrads.

I take it medical school is now out.

Absolutely.

I am now a student of life.

This is my friend Howie Krantz.

Billy Hicks.

Hi, Billy.

We'll see you a little later.

A friend of yours?

Billy, I want you to know I'm not

gonna be getting you any more jobs.

Al, you're so perfect.

Such a young god.

You not only have the right stuff...

...you have the right job

and the right hair.

I, of course, have the wrong hair.

Forrester said he wanted to know what

I'm looking for in this relationship.

So I told him love, companionship

and the vice-presidency.

Sounds like you have your boss

wrapped around your finger.

I ever tell you what he likes me

to do with my finger?

- How's your stepmother?

- Hanging on, the old witch.

I found this place in California

called the Neptune Society.

They just wrap her up and feed her

to the sharks for $500.

I just have to ship her there.

She's worse.

It's gonna be a long night.

Yeah, hi. By any chance,

did Dale Biberman...

...get called in

on an emergency duty tonight?

Okay. Thanks.

- So how you doing?

- Fine.

You still live at home?

Yeah. How about you?

Felicia hasn't kicked me out yet.

Been playing your sax?

I hocked it to pay the bills.

Have you forgiven me for being

such a horse's ass?

There's nothing to forgive.

Actually, I should thank you.

It helped me grow up a lot,

made me see how stupid I was being.

Trusting a guy like me.

You're very talented.

So are you still...

...a virgin?

That's none of your business.

I want you to make another emergency

breakthrough. Do you hear me?

She won't release it?

Did you tell her who's calling?

Did you tell her I was giving

a goddamn party for her?

Make room.

The kid can't fly on one wing.

Come to Mama.

Quiet, please!

Quiet, please!

Quiet, please. Everyone!

Thank you.

Big Al has an announcement to make!

Oh, well, now we're excited.

On June 1...

...Leslie Hunter will do me

the long...

...long, long-awaited honor...

...of becoming my bride.

You're all invited!

Thank you very much.

Howie, let's make this

a double wedding.

What's the matter with you?

Cut it out!

We discussed this at home.

Now you completely discount me!

I'm just trying to facilitate

the marriage process.

You want marriage...

...or a Christmas card with

the Newberrys in front of a fireplace?

You're afraid to commit!

No, I'm not afraid to commit.

I have to have something for myself

first before I can share it with you.

Will you just for once...

...not use as the excuse for not

marrying me your goddamn career?

Fine. All right then.

I have a better excuse.

What are we going to do about

your extracurricular love life?

What extracurricular love life?

Alec, come on.

What did Kevin tell you?

Nothing.

What did you tell her?

What did you tell her?

He told me nothing.

It was just a hunch...

...until now.

I want you out of

the apartment tonight.

Are you okay?

That's okay.

It's cool. It ain't a party

till something gets broken.

We're swinging now.

Get off the phone and open this door!

Are you the maniac that's been

trying to cut in on my line?

I should have known.

Where's Dale?

She went skiing.

What do you mean? Where?

Why should I tell you?

Because I'm not responsible

for what I'll do to you if you don't.

Which one is yours?

I always forget.

So do I.

Let's get a drink.

You wanna?

Yeah, I do.

I've had a sh*t day.

I've had a sh*t year.

Where should we go?

I think the bars are closed.

Your place?

Okay.

You have really grown

into a fine-looking woman.

I don't feel very fine-looking.

There's something I've been

wanting to ask you all night.

What you got on underneath that skirt?

You should know.

Okay, Billy.

Come on.

Don't save it for your boss.

Can you keep a secret?

I have kept many secrets.

Billy, enough.

Enough!

Says who?

I say.

- Oh, you say.

- That's right.

You wouldn't have so much

to say with me in your mouth.

I'm serious. I said no!

Give me my keys.

Come and get them.

You sh*t, give me my keys!

- Come here.

- No! Give me my keys!

Come on!

I'm getting a boner now!

- Yes.

- Give me the keys!

I love it!

Give me my keys.

Oh, watch the crease.

Watch the crease.

I needed a friend tonight.

Get back in the Jeep and assume

the missionary position.

You break my heart.

Then again, you break

everyone's heart.

Hey, Jules, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry.

- Who is it?

- Is Dale Biberman there?

- Who wants to know?

- Kirby Keager!

- Who the hell are you?

- Who the hell are you?

Kirby! What are you doing here?

Who is that?

- Stop him, Guy. Will you?

- I'm buck naked.

Kirby, stop! Come inside!

This guy is crazy.

You've got no snow tires or chains.

You've got no traction.

Kirby, please.

You won't get out of here tonight.

Come inside.

I'll stay in the car!

- He wants to stay in the car.

- He'll freeze.

People have died out here.

So just leave me alone!

Get away from me and leave me alone!

Please come inside.

I haven't been here for a while.

It's still the same.

Small and ugly.

But then again,

it is small and ugly. Here.

You sure you don't want to go

to some nice ladylike hotel?

I'll be fine here.

As long as I'm not putting you

or Kirbo to any trouble.

No, it's fine.

Is that a coffin?

I thought girls would think

it was sexy.

And do they?

How would I know?

You better not let Jules see it.

She'll steal it for her stepmother.

You wanna sit down there?

When did you win

these writing awards?

Oh, never. They're more effect

to impress young ladies.

I did win something.

In eighth grade...

...I won Best Haiku Poem.

I beat out David Autry.

Quite a thrill.

So I've wandered into a real

woman trap here, haven't I?

Only you're the first woman,

and I blew all my props already.

You want some brandy?

Good.

Am I part of your props?

Your clothes should be dry

in a few hours.

- He's a doctor, isn't he?

- And here are some pajamas.

You expect me to wear his pajamas?

We'll talk in the morning.

Alec was the first.

You know?

I mean, there were other guys

for me in high school.

Boys.

Alec was the first love of my life.

I sometimes think if we hadn't

ended up in the same dorm...

...I would have just met someone else.

So would he.

Alec had the luck of geography, right?

Whatever we say about Alec

we'll regret tomorrow.

Tell me something.

What do you think about

our relationship as an outsider?

I want you to be honest.

- Really.

- You want me to be honest?

I don't know.

Dangerous question.

Well, I think I hang around you guys

so much, personally...

...because, well,

you're all I think about.

Me?

And I think that the reason

I'm not interested in other women...

...and why I haven't had sex

in so long...

...is because I am...

...desperately, completely...

...in love with you.

We won't even remember this
