The Lonely Guy Page #7

Hey, good boy.

What a good dog.

And this note

is for you, sir.

It's from a young lady.

Thank you.

Dear Larry, just heard

we're on the same ship.

I'll be at the Masquerade Ball

tomorrow night.

I hope we'll

run into each other.

I think we should talk.

Iris.

Iris.

She's here.

Yahoo!

Oh, sorry, fella!

Hello, Iris.

Hello, Larry.

Terrific costume.

Larry, I want to apologize

for the way I behaved.

I was wrong.

You don't have to apologize

as long as we're together.

No, Larry. I was wrong

to let it go as far as it did.

I knew from the beginning

it would never work.

I love you too much.

Do you think you're the only one

who's afraid of falling in love,

or afraid of being hurt?

Do you think I'm not?

I'm terrified.

But you've got to be willing

to feel a little pain

or you'll never feel any joy.

Hi, Larry.

Hi, Jack.

You kept coming back to me

for the joy, not the pain.

Hey, hey, aren't you going to introduce me?

Jack, Iris.

I'm not saying I'll be

the only guy for you.

You might meet somebody

you like better.

Looks like we

were meant for each other.

Hey, hey, don't the girls

look terrific tonight?

The seven deadly sins! Whoa!

What a clever idea!

Girls. What girls?

The girls! Your girls, Jack.

- Inga, Helga, Olga!

- I guess my eyesight is failing.

'Cause as far as I can see there's

only one woman in this whole room.

Shall we?

I'm in the mood for love

Simply because

you're near me

Funny but when

you're near me

I'm in the mood

for love

How you doing, guys?

Thirsty?

There you go.

The guy's 46.

Drops dead.

Heart attack?

Natural causes.

I think I'm

getting that.

Here you go.

That's a good guy.

What did you have for lunch?

Tuna.

Toast? White?

Rye.

Good?

Yeah.

Sounds good.

Yeah, it was.

Here's a guy, 33.

Brick fell on his head.

Hey, I want you to see

this new cassette I got.

I can't stay much longer.

Just watch this.

Oh, nice. Very nice.

- We don't have to watch the whole thing.

- Does something happen?

No.

Whoa!

Jack is marrying Iris!

Yeah, I know.

3:
00 today.

Hard to imagine any woman

falling in love with Jack.

She doesn't love Jack.

She loves me.

That's why

she's marrying him.

Uh-huh.

Well... whatever.

I'd better get going.

I'm defrosting my refrigerator.

That water's going

to get all over the floor.

I'll watch that fish staring

another time.

I'll give you a call later.

Maybe we'll do something.

I'm kind of tired.

I think I'll stay in tonight.

Yeah. Me too.

Yeah.

Well, take care.

Okay. I'll see you.

Yeah.

So long.

So long.

Back! Sides and front!

And other side! And three!

...nautical science.

What makes a balloon go up?

Right this way, officer.

When did you find him?

This morning.

Wife? Kids?

No.

No.

Close friends?

No friends, no wife,

no children.

Just ferns, a dog,

cardboard cutouts, TV.

Well-behaved, quiet,

perfect tenant.

Been there for five days.

Nobody even noticed.

I'll take care of it.

Wish I had more

tenants like him.

I don't believe what people

are throwing away today.

No!

No!

No!

First Lutheran Church in Queens.

As soon as possible.

All right.

- What's the matter?

- First time ever. A traffic jam in New York.

How long is it between trains?

About 15 minutes.

- That's too long.

- Write a letter.

Pull over, mac!

You can't pull out like

that, mister. Now pull over.

Look, I've gotta...

Pull over!

If I don't get to 31st Street

in four and a half minutes,

the only girl I ever loved

is gonna marry somebody else.

I was in love once.

You're gonna need an escort. Follow me!

Let's go, mac.

Come on!

Everything is

gonna be all right.

To love, honor

and cherish...

in sickness

and in health...

as long as you both shall live?

No, wait, don't do this!

I know you think this is

the easy way out,

The safe thing to do.

But didn't you just hear

those words?

To love, honor and cherish.

You don't love this man.

You don't honor him. You don't cherish him.

You know you were meant

for something better.

Listen to your heart. This man is not

for you. Don't go through with this.

He's right.

What? Alison, who is that guy?

- Is this the First Lutheran?

- No, Third Methodist.

God!

Isn't it romantic?

Having our honeymoon on

the same ship where we met?

What?

I said:

Isn't it romantic

Merely to be young

On such a night as this

Isn't it romantic

Every note that's sung

is like a lover's kiss

I'm going to wash,

my dear.

I'm going to slip into

something more comfortable.

Why don't you slip into

something more comfortable too?

Like the sheets?

Could you sneeze again?

Uh, what's your name? Where do you live?

Could I call you sometime?

Whatever feelings of pain you might have,

I want to share them with you.

You think you're the only one who's

afraid of being hurt? You think I'm not?

I'm terrified.

You've got to be willing to feel a little

pain, or you'll never feel any joy.

Larry.

Hi, Warren.

Aw, Larry.

Heeeelllp!

It changes, Larry.

It's not always gonna be like

this. It really does change.

It may not feel like it,

but things change.

Sure. What about you,

Warren?

Has it changed for you?

Yes.

It has?

Yes.

How?

I've met someone.

- You have?

- We're very happy.

Aw, that's really great,

Warren.

Oh, god, why can't I

be happy like Warren?

Oh, Iris.

We were so close!

I could've made you happy,

I know it.

If only fate could have

played a helping hand.

Iris!

Larry, what luck!

Why were you jumping?

I was unhappy from

the moment I said, "I do."

Oh, Larry, I love you.

I finally realized I can't live without you.

Oh, Iris,

I love you so much.

Oh, my god.

That was a blast.

Oh. Hi, Warren.

It's really a great night, isn't it?

I just want to go home.

Warren said he met somebody.

That's great, Warren.

Who is she?

I told her to meet me here.

- Warren!

- Here she is now.

Over here, honey.

Hi, Warren.

Sometimes, when two people meet,

it's really the human will quietly,

subconsciously engineering

its own destiny.

She's great,

isn't she?

Hey, look at the four of us.

I can't think of a more

perfect ending than this.

Hey, look at this guy!

Come here!

Come on! Come on!

There we go!

There's one lonely girl

Saturday night

Nothin' to do

And there's one lonely guy

All by himself

At a table for two

And it's sad

'Cause one lonely guy

Might change the world

For one lonely girl

And life would be so sweet

If only she could meet

One lonely guy

One lonely

One lonely guy

In a world like today

So many times

Even lovers are strangers

They pass

But look away

Keeping their hearts

Far out of danger

And it's sad

Because one lonely guy

Might change the world

For one lonely girl

And life

Would be complete

If only she could meet

One lonely guy

One lonely

One lonely guy

In a world

with so many people

We long so desperately

Don't it make you

wonder why

There's a lonely guy

One lonely

One lonely

Don't pass by

One lonely guy
