The Ex Page #8

Sofia told me last night.

I told her the same thing

I'll say to you:

The only person responsible

for me losing my job is me.

I also started the fire.

It was an accident.

I wasn't aware.

Are you okay?

I bent over backwards

to sell Wollebin's vision,

and I, you know...

I knew in the back

of my mind it was bullshit.

- It is bullshit, Bob.

- It is.

- Screw him.

- Screw him!

Screw him!

( sighs )

You're all right, kid.

You're all right.

Sofia's getting

ice cream with Chip

- at Eddie's Sweets.

- Thank you, Bob.

- Oh, Jesus, Tom! You gotta take a shower.

- I'm sorry.

Go get her, son!

Boy:
Hey, five bucks to whoever

can knock that tool off his bike!

( mocking laugh )

These rims aren't

supposed to bend.

Okay, Wesley.

You just sign there

at the bottom of the paper.

You're about to be a very

rich young man, okay?

Try not to get the fudge

on the contract.

- Don't do it, Wesley.

- Oh, good. Tom's here.

Tom, what happened to you?

Will everyone just please

listen to me for one second?

Okay, Sofia, Wesley,

Wesley's dad.

Sofia...

I know on paper

I'm not the most ideal husband.

I'm selfish,

I can't hold down a job,

And I think I may have turned

your father into a problem drinker.

Still, one thing you

said you loved about me

is that I could smell

bullshit a mile away.

Well, this guy, Sofia,

is stuffed full of bullshit.

And what he wants more than anything

in the world is to break us up.

You have to believe me.

What I realize now is

that you and Oliver

are the only things

in this entire world that matter to me.

- Am I the only one hearing violins?

- ( cell phone ringing )

- Baby, I can't lose you.

- Tom--

Hello.

Hola, senor.

No momento, por favor.

This is my dream job

in Spain, okay?

They're calling to make

the final travel arrangements.

It's the actual reason

that I came.

I don't really care

much about Wesley.

Hey, uncool.

Less words.

I have one question.

Sofia-- Sese--

do I have them buy me

one plane ticket to Spain...

or dos?

You know what, Chip?

I think you're weird and creepy,

And if you think I'd ever choose you

over the love of my life,

you're the most delusional man

on the face of the earth.

That'd be uno.

Gracias.

Thank you.

Sweetie, you couldn't

lose me if you tried.

And you've been trying

pretty hard lately.

Great. Momento.

I guess this is adis.

Sofia, you should know the night

that we made love, I faked my orgasm.

Tom, you are never

gonna beat me,

and I'm gonna send you a great

little thong shot from Barcelona.

Senor, if it's all

the same with you,

I'd like to travel today.

Of course, senor Chip.

Yes, absolutely.

I will have Barcelona's longest

limousine awaiting your arrival.

Fantstico.

- Everything worked out.

- Sure did.

Moushiwake, Chip.

- For what?

- I just wanted to say it one last time.

Little help?

( rock music playing )

( rock music playing )

Tom:
I know you consider yourself

more of a mango man, buddy,

but I switched it up today.

Could you tell?

What flavor is that?

What flavor is that?

It's chutney.

I'm just kidding.

It's banana.

Also, you know what

you'd probably like?

I mixed in a little

of this new formula

which I found in Hoboken.

They say it's good stuff.

- Hey, babe.

- Hey, fatso.

What are the men folk

up to today?

The men--

we men...

are gonna go

to Coney Island with Paco.

'Cause I think

it's important

that he be exposed

to carnies at a young age.

- Hey, babe?

- Yeah?

I got breakfast in the oven.

Be ready in 15 minutes.

- I really can't be late.

- Chocolate croissant.

What's 15 minutes?

I know how we can spend

six of those minutes.

Six minutes-- you really think

you can last that long?

If I think about

Rosie O'Donnell,

I could last seven

and a half.

What do you think

of that?

# Maybe you could telephone #

# Maybe I could meet you

in the morning #

# Call me if you're

on you're own #

# Maybe I could meet you

in the morning... #

( Sofia squeals )

( man vocalizing )

# Mornings eleven,

the feelings are severed #

# I can't feel

anything at all #

- # But I would #

- # Die for you #

- # Oh, I would #

- # Die for you #

# All that I've ever seen,

all that I'll ever be #

# All that I ever was #

- # I would #

- # Die for you #

- # Oh, I would #

- # Die for you. #

So make sure that you understand,

when you're chopping things up

in the way that those people

to the north of Italy...

- ( Oliver crying )

- ... that they don't mind chopping...

That's the kid.

Let's go.

( TV channels change )

( shouting )

People are out of their minds.

Hey, Tom! You gotta

come see this guy.

- What?

- You missed it.

Let's go, man.

# This time of night

I could call you up #

# I'd get angry

with athletic ease #

# Break common laws

in twos and threes #

# If I die clutching

your photograph #

# Don't call me boring #

# It's just

'cause I like you #

# Oh, take me on back,

take me on back #

# Take me back

to the place #

# Where I could feel

your heart #

# Is this the end or just

the start of something #

# Really,

really beautiful #

# Wrapped up

and disguised #

# As something really,

really ugly? #

# Won't you #

# Come by and see me?

I'm a love letter away #

# I'd break your name

before I'd say #

# I really love you,

love you #

# No, I don't care

if you saw #

# I watched every inch

of film #

# Flash across

your roman features #

# And I loved it,

loved it #

# No, I don't care if #

# You think I'm eager

to shut your eyes #

# Well, I'm sorry

everybody knows #

# You can't break me

with your gutter prose #

# Would you believe it?

She sent me a letter #

# The ring, it nearly

weighs her down #

# She's got another boy,

oh, boy #

# Ready your ears,

steady your ears #

# And read my lips #

# Poetry is not a luxury #

# It's how I'll break this home #

# And when I'm really ill #

# Won't you cradle me? #

# Man is not a noble animal #

# But maybe woman is #

# Remember, I heard you #

# Inside your room,

you said you'd never really live #

# ntil your back's

against the wall #

# Oh, did you

really mean it? #

# No, I never break

my gaze #

# if just to see this scar remain

reflected in your eyes #

# I think it's time to go home #

# Marianne, let the ghosts

sleep tonight #

# Marianne,

let the ghosts sleep #

# Just shut your eyes

and burn the past #

# Marianne, let the ghosts

sleep tonight #

# Marianne,

let the ghosts sleep #

# Just shut your eyes

and burn the past #

# Marianne, let the ghosts

sleep tonight #

# Marianne,

let the ghosts sleep #

# Just shut your eyes

and burn the past #

# Marianne, let the ghosts

sleep tonight #

# Marianne,

let the ghosts sleep #

# Just shut your eyes

and burn the past away. #
