just...

give that to me.

Okay.

I'm gonna go.

Okay, have fun.

# Let's fall in love #

# Let's fall in love #

# Everything I see around #

# Reminds me of... #

My God, this place is

like an advertisement

for choosing a partner

at a young age.

I am getting hepatitis

just being in here.

That's the spirit.

Look, I want you to have a conversation

with one of these fine gentlemen.

- Why?

- Because

I want to see how you talk

to a man that isn't Ryan.

Scott, this is silly.

Can we just go home? I can't...

Hey, there, pretty lady.

Can I buy you a drink?

Scott?

Could you just give us

a moment, please?

Sure.

You have to get rid of him!

He is trying to get in my pants.

So? He's not going to.

It's not like you're tempted to

sleep with him or anything.

I'm tempted to

f*** his brains out.

I'd f*** him;

I'd f*** that guy;

I'd f*** the guy air-guitaring

back there.

I'd f*** everybody I could

see right now

because I just want the chance

to be with somebody else!

This is the reason I cannot be

trusted without Ryan around me

at all times.

Just once I want to be with another guy

without Ryan in the room.

Can you understand that?

I am so sick of f***ing the same person

over and over and over

and over again.

Wow.

That was frank.

She's gonna take a rain check

on the whole talking thing.

Thanks, though.

Watch it. I...

- I'm gonna need another.

- Yeah.

Excuse me?

All I'm saying is that...

both of you clearly

have some issues

that you're not addressing

with each other.

But what happens if we address them

and then we break up?

Look, relationships take work...

real work.

You can't just pretend

that everything's okay

so you don't have to

deal with the hard stuff.

You have to be brutally

honest with each other.

Doesn't that hurt?

It can.

Love hurts,

but it's worth it.

And that's why I'm chasing

after a girl

who probably won't

even take me back.

Because if there's even the slightest

chance that she will,

I have to risk it.

We can't play it safe

all the time.

That's what it is with Ryan and me,

isn't it?

We play it too safe.

We're so afraid of this thing failing,

that we don't deal with it.

- Anuptaphobia.

- Fear of being alone.

Why'd you do this?

- Do what?

- Try to help us,

our relationship.

Well, at first it was

because I figured

the only way I was going to get

you two lunatics out of my life

was if you got

your sh*t together, but...

actually I like you guys a lot,

and I want you

to be happy.

You're a good friend, Scott.

- Um, about the mnage thing...

- Mm-hmm?

I don't know if you two

ever talked about,

you know, me in that way...

Oh, no! Never.

Okay, good, because

that would have been

- a little weird.

- Yeah.

Any particular reason why not?

Well, this is it.

This is where Leslie is.

Are you ready?

- Not in the least.

- Well, good luck.

Okay, dude,

no more skateboarding

with your costume on.

If I have to fix your butt again,

I'm gonna kick it.

Capisce?

Okay, now get out of here.

Go.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I wanted to clear some things up.

Can we talk?

Uh, okay.

Okay.

But just not here. Just...

I've never been stalked before,

so if you can give me, like,

an idea of how long this might take,

'cause I only have

I'm not stalking you.

At least not in the creepy way.

There you are! Hi!

There's nothing creepy

about this at all.

- Hi.

- Hi, Leslie.

Um, Mary and I just...

wanted to make it clear

that we did do everything

Scott said we did.

We thought we could control

everything for him;

take away the risk

of getting hurt.

Thank you guys.

I've got it from here.

Just like we've been trying to do in

our own relationship for years.

- But you can't do that.

- Nah.

Nobody can.

A wise man once said to me,

"Love is all about

taking chances, even if it hurts."

- So...

- Which is why

Mary and I...

Have decided...

To split up.

- Just for a while.

- It's just a trial thing

to see if we're really meant

to be together.

So if we can take a chance...

Maybe you guys

can too.

It was really great

meeting you, Leslie,

and we are sorry

about all of this.

But I have a hunch you two

are going to be just fine.

Hasta lasagna.

So you're not a total psycho,

but your friends are?

Yeah, something like that.

Can I buy you lunch?

I am pretty hungry...

and broke.

So yeah, okay.

But this does not mean

that I am moving in with you.

- Right.

- And sex, is like, way down the road

and we're not even

kissing anytime soon,

and we have to completely start over

from, like, the very very very

very very very beginning,

and there's no guarantees.

That's exactly what

I wanted to hear.

Okay.

Okay.

- I'm glad we talked.

- Yeah, me too.

Hey!

And the Oscar goes to...

Oh, you were fantastic.

No, you were fantastic

and they totally bought it.

Well, love is all about

taking chances,

even if it hurts.

Give me a f***ing break!

"Oh, we're gonna break up. We're just

gonna give it a trial break-up.

A little trial break-up thing..."

"Just to see if we really are meant

to be together, you know."

Oh my God.

Ha ha ha!

- Oh.

- He'll be back.
