The Bounce Back Page #7

Am I right, Love Nation?

We love this book.

But Matthew,

my next guest has a bone to pick with you.

Please welcome clinical psychologist,

Dr. Kristin Peralto!

Come on out Dr. Kristin!

That's right, Dr. Kristin.

Welcome to Love Nation!

Thank you so much for having me!

Thank you for coming!

So you have a beef with Matthew.

Yes, I do, Nina,

because Mr. Taylor

preys on weak-minded women.

He tells them what they want to hear

in order to get them to expose themselves,

and well, he just doesn't want to

follow-through when push comes to shove.

Hmm, are you talking about his book

or is this something personal?

I think for people like Ms. Peralto,

- a common...

- Excuse me, people like me?

You mean, women who trust you,

who you make feel special?

And I am talking about the book,

I am talking about reading the book.

They feel as though your words

are the most comforting thing imaginable

and then this whole you thing,

with your swagger and your self-confidence.

- Nina, let me ask you a question...

- Mmm-hmm.

And this is for all of the women

in the audience.

How is it that a relationship guru

isn't in a relationship?

Mmm.

Girl, you are going in for the kill,

but, Matthew, I got to say,

my brown sister has a point.

We'll see, in my book The Bounce Back,

I actually ask people

to focus on the past...

Oh, I am sorry, is that in the

"I haven't really gotten over my ex-wife

who woke up and said

"she didn't love me anymore" chapter?

Because I didn't read that.

Whoa! This is getting

better than I thought.

She is a piece of work, isn't she?

Are you still in love with your ex-wife?

Well...

I didn't see that one coming, Nina.

But the answer is,

when my ex-wife woke up one day

after ten years of marriage

and told me that

she didn't love me anymore,

I decided that I needed

a new definition of love.

What is love?

Is it a feeling,

is it a commitment,

a happily ever after pill?

I would like to think it's a choice.

See, Nina, we choose people

for who they are

and who they aren't

and we make that choice

every single day that we are together.

So yes, Ms. Peralto,

I do love my ex-wife.

I don't think I will ever stop loving her,

but she is not the woman that I choose

to give my love to anymore.

See, I really believe that we have to

stop thinking that love just happens.

That somehow, we are helpless

and just along for the ride.

I honestly believe

that we make that choice.

Wow.

That's how we do on Love Nation.

Well, I'd like to thank Matthew Taylor

and Dr. Kristin Peralto

for coming on Love Nation

and having a passionate discussion

about The Bounce Back.

And everyone in the studio

audience is going home

with a complimentary copy

of The Bounce Back.

That has been our show today,

and remember we are a nation of love.

Matthew, I need to talk to you.

We got good news, brother.

Good news!

Come on, man. What are we waiting for?

Can we focus here?

Can I get your mic?

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

I know you slept

with her, just tell me, don't deny it.

- The mic is still live.

- I can smell it.

Touch that dial

and I will break your fingers.

What's going on?

- What's going on?

- You did it.

I knew you did it.

T, what's the good news?

First of all I just wanna say

that I should have had more

faith in you because I thought it was over for

us after that whole Live Night situation.

Phew! I saw your wheels turning,

but I didn't know how you would go

out and get her to do the show with us,

you know what I am saying?

But then you had the fire-breather in here,

following you here like a little puppy.

Ah! That was masterful, bro.

And just to seal the

deal, you sealed a deal.

You threw her

right out of her game.

She was out there looking ridiculous.

So what are you getting at?

Problem solved.

We just booked the Jason Kennedy Show.

- What? - Yeah, I told you,

I am working for you, man.

What are we

supposed to do about her?

What do you mean,

what we are going to do?

I mean, come on, man!

The monkey is off our back.

Oh, T, I don't know, man.

What exactly are you going to tell her?

I got to talk

to her, T, I got to.

Are you ser... Matthew!

Excuse me.

What the hell was that?

Uh, your microphone is still on.

- Wait a minute, did she...

- She did.

I am gonna blow

his seminar up online.

When I am finished with him,

he is going to wish he never met you.

Big Momma is gonna take care of you.

- Maybe that's him.

- Don't do anything.

- Don't.

- I won't.

Kristin!

Kristin!

Kristin! Open up! I know you're home!

I am not leaving here

until you talk to me, Kristin!

Hey, man. Has it occurred to you,

she might not be at home?

Kristin!

Kristin!

- Kristin!

- Stop it. Stop saying Kristin.

Kristin, come on,

I know you are home, open up!

- It's my neighbor.

- Man.

Daryl. Hi.

Um, why don't you just tell him

that I'm not coming home tonight.

Okay.

She said she's not coming home,

you are wasting your time.

Where is she?

She doesn't wanna talk to you,

you need to go home.

Look, I know she is here.

Kristin! Kristin!

Please go home, Matthew!

Listen to me, I can explain.

You are not explaining your way

out of this one, okay,

- you slimy, no good...

- Okay.

Self-help guru whatever you think you are.

Kristin, please.

I know, I know, it's not what I think,

I am sure that there is a perfectly good

reason why you lied to me for a month

and then sold me down the river

as soon as something better came along.

I didn't lie to you.

So all that talk about, uh,

wanting to bring balance to the tour,

that wasn't a lie?

I meant it when I said that, I meant it,

I really wanted you there with me.

Goodbye, Matthew!

I agree. Kick rocks. Bye-bye.

I am not letting you go,

I'm not losing you like this.

You used me. What am I supposed to say,

the past doesn't exist and move on?

I am not like you, Matthew.

Love don't live

here anymore, buddy.

Hello.

Wait a minute, what?

Okay, hey. Slow down, Julie, slow down,

she is not with me.

Where is George?

All right, I'll be right there,

I will pick you up.

Okay, where would she be?

Over there.

Hey, Julie, slow down, slow down.

Wait, I am gonna go up, you go down,

we will circle back.

Are you going to kill me?

I think your mom is

going to kill you twice over.

Doesn't matter.

What happened?

He didn't come.

Maybe he just got held up.

No.

He was here, he just didn't come over.

It was all a joke to him.

Look at you.

You are beautiful,

you are smart, you are so sweet.

Aleya.

Love

is the most beautiful thing

that we can experience in this world.

And if you were lucky enough

to feel this for that boy,

nobody can ever take that away from you,

that's something special just for you.

And I promise you something,

one day you are gonna meet someone

who loves you back,

just as much as you love him.

And when that happens,

it's magical.

I know, Dad.

Oh, you do?

Uh-huh.

But it still hurts,
