The Dilemma Page #2

Be my guest.

Come on, pal.

I think you're stuck with me.

So when are you gonna ask her?

What?

Come on, Ronny!

You can see it all over her face!

You're never gonna find a girl as great as her.

Let's be realistic.

Nick and I aren't making any new friends.

You've dated all my girlfriends.

You've batted through the whole lineup,

and there's nothing left, you know?

Plus, we like her.

Those other ones, we didn't even

like, and they're my friends!

Trust me.

Pop the question or you're gonna lose her.

NICK:
(LAUGHS) There you go! Hey, hey!

Special delivery! How's that for an entrance?

You were missed.

I missed you, too.

(CHUCKLES)

What? Nothing.

Now I'm gonna turn up the heat.

What happens when the kitchen gets hot,

because I'm cooking something up, chef.

Don't play into my strength.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Whoo!

Fifteen to four! (LAUGHS)

Really? You're gonna start... Now you're dancing?

It's like I'm playing Floyd Mayweather

at Ping-Pong. That's ridiculous.

You're only supposed to do that if the game's over.

If the game's over. I'm just being happy, you know?

No, no, you're not being happy. This is a taunting.

This is, like, taunting that's going on. I'm sorry.

You're not sorry, that's the problem.

I know. You're right.

Okay, here's what we need to do now.

'Cause I think you're very spirited, and I like that.

I think we should turn it into

full-body-contact Ping-Pong.

(LAUGHS EXCITEDLY) Yes, we do!

Come on, you can't taunt people bigger than you

and expect it just to be all fine.

Help! (SCREAMS)

(LAUGHING)

You're attacked. Yes! That's it.

Are you gonna try and steal a kiss now?

Go on, I dare you.

I want to let you know, by the way,

that I'm completely committed to this relationship.

I'm just re-upping. I'm already committed,

but I'm just re-upping my commitment

to this relationship

because I feel great.

How do you feel? Do you feel great?

Uh-huh.

Yeah? Mmm-hmm. I feel great.

(SLOW LOVE SONG PLAYING)

But is there a window?

Are you anxious for this to go somewhere?

Ronny, Ronny, I know you.

I know where you're headed with this.

Look, I don't need this to be something that it's not.

I don't want it to be something if

it's not, just to make me okay.

But is there a clock that's ticking?

Are you in a hurry to be heading somewhere?

There's always a clock. And I'm worrying, is it ticking,

getting to a point where the clock's gonna go off?

Let's just talk through this, okay? Yeah.

I have fun with you. I love being with you.

I think we've done a great job of getting

back to a really good place.

I'm happy.

Now, if all of that rolls into something else,

that can make me happy, too.

I love you.

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, Ronny. You can do this.

This is your time to do it.

You the man, Valentine. You're the man.

MALE STEWARD ON PA: Folks, this is our

final approach to Detroit's Metro Airport.

(EXHALES NERVOUSLY)

Hope this goes well.

Great moments are born from great opportunity.

And that's what you have here today, Nick.

That's what you've earned here today!

One meeting. (STAMMERS) Okay, what are you doing?

You're giving me the... Really?

The Kurt Russell speech from the movie Miracle?

I just saw that five-year-old kid do

it on YouTube the other night,

and I thought it was really inspirational.

It's applicable to what we're doing.

Any time you go into a pressure situation,

a competition, it makes sense.

And I'm not gonna write something better than that.

Look at you, you're nervous.

You're never nervous. Now, you're nervous.

Okay, here's the thing. I can't be

broke if I'm gonna get married.

Yeah?

Yes! See, I knew you would get here!

Okay, so here's my plan.

I'm gonna ask her next month, on her birthday.

Now, I worked out this great

deal from this Hasidic guy,

who I met during Gamblers Anonymous.

He's literally gonna give me a $20,000 ring

for $10,000. Can you believe that?

How are you doing that?

Well, I'm gonna give him cash.

And then I also said that you would help fix his car.

So those two little things are gonna

get me the deal with the Hasidic.

Oh, I'm helping? I'm helping fix the car?

Well, you're the one who kept telling me to dive into it.

I thought you'd be excited to help. I'm sorry.

Okay, fine, but that is my gift to you.

Honestly, there'll be no fruit bowl from the registry.

That's it. That's what you're looking at.

You don't have to make a decision now.

On the day, see what's right...

No, I'm making... I can make the

decision now. I'm making it now.

I'm telling you right now, that is my gift.

That's it. I'm fixing the car with the Hasidic guy.

And make sure you tell Beth that, too.

Seriously, I don't want it to be

uncomfortable. Let her know.

Whatever you wanna do on that day is your choice.

Okay. I'm doing it.

You take this meeting 10 times,

you might not get it nine.

All right, you got to stop that now.

But not this meeting, Nick.

Not today.

(EXHALES) You're really making me nervous.

Today, we are the greatest small business in the world.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about how

innovative these other boutiques are.

This is our time. Their time is done!

We're showing up in a cab.

NICK:
Thanks for not mentioning that my

last three prototype bids got rejected.

That's just a bad streak, pal.

You're gonna be great, I promise you.

(EXHALES)

Here you go.

Ladies and gentlemen, electric cars,

they're totally gay.

It's true.

I don't mean that they're "homosexual" gay,

but I do mean "your parents were the

chaperone at the dance" gay. Right?

"You tuck it in and wear it real high" gay.

I don't wanna disrespect anybody,

'cause I'm not about that.

But I think we're understanding

what we're trying to talk about here, right?

I mean, honestly, the Nissan Spit? Really?

It screams this.

Oh, here we go.

The Hyundai Pomegranate. Right?

The Chevy Fingerprint.

Now,

ah, look at this.

The 1966 Ford GT350.

You wanna roll up in that one, hoss?

The 1965 Pontiac GTO.

Completely awesome.

The 1970 Hemi Cuda

took more virginities than Francis Albert Sinatra.

What are we suggesting here?

We're talking about taking the benefits

of electric transportation,

but combine them with the rock and roll-ness

and the sexiness that the Dodge

current muscle-car models have.

Nicholas?

We believe we could produce the technology

to incorporate an electronic motor

in your current models.

But with the aggressive sound character,

the exhilarating vibration character,

the complete visceral experience

that we've all grown to know and love in

the Dodge Challenger and Charger lines.

SUSAN:
Guys, we love our current electric models.

That said, we also agree there's a

market for what you're pitching.

But, if you're asking Dodge to invest

in your pursuit of this concept,

what do you have that we don't?

Nick Brannen.

(BREATHES NERVOUSLY)

So let's forget the up-front money.

Let's deal with it in success because that's
