The Matchbreaker Page #8

If I gave you the moon,

you'd grow tired of it soon.

You're like a baby.

You want what you

want when you want it.

Ok, so how did it happen?

Ethan went into his

house and dragged him out.

To get you back together?

Yeah.

Mitchell's mom was so mad.

You're whispering

why you'll never leave me.

Whispering why you'll

never grieve me,

whispering, say that

you'll believe me.

Whispering that I love you.

Looking for a job?

Yep.

But it appears that my skill

set is a bit, um, niche.

Hmm.

I bet.

You know, a record producer

came to the lounge last night.

Really?

Did you talk to him?

He wants a demo.

That's great.

I guess I have to make a demo.

Yeah, that's fantastic.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's... I'm really excited.

You deserve it.

Getting Trisha and Mitchell

back together, that cost you.

Didn't it?

The things you do for love.

Yeah.

Why are you sitting here?

I'm a jerk, a schemer, a

professional heartbreaker.

An idiot.

Yeah, that too.

So why would you

sit down with me?

Because love sees

past the imperfections.

Sam?

You ok?

Shh.

Sam?

I thought that was

you running in.

Why are you in such a hurry?

I was just looking

for some flowers.

Well, it's really great that

I ran into you, because I

want to invite you to my party.

Oh.

Oh, you know, I'm

actually busy that night.

Really?

Doing what?

I'm, uh, going out on a

date with my girlfriend.

Your girlfriend's Lexie?

Yeah.

We're really serious.

Incredibly serious.

We've actually kissed on the

lips like seven times already.

We'll probably kiss again

when we go on our date.

Not at your party.

Oh, ok.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

Don't worry about it.

Yeah, um, thanks for the invite.

Sure.

See you later.

Bye.

Hmm.

So you want me to pretend

I'm your girlfriend too?

I don't know, you're kind

of expensive, like 30%.

Well, for the right guy,

I might do it for free.

Should we practice?

I'd like that.

Kissy, kissy, kissy.

Tully, what are you doing here?

I was fixing your,

um... your, uh.

You're here for the dog.

He missed me.

Hey.

Hey.

You look different.

Oh yeah, I got a new

doggy razor for beast,

but I tried it on myself

first because his skin is

so sensitive.

Well, you look great.

Thanks.

Whatcha you doing here?

I'm fixing your,

uh... your, uh...

He's here for the dog.

He missed me.

Oh, ok.

You know, you guys

need each other.

Why don't you just take him?

Yeah?

Yeah.

Did you hear that, beast?

You're coming home with me.

Velma is gonna love you.

You guys kinda

look the same, too.

Oh, hey, a box came for you.

Cool.

Nice.

I could probably use this.

Why?

Because of your annoying

habit of being so adorable.

Yeah.

I'm reading this first.

Lexie.

I have an idea.

How about we go to

the park, reading

my book aloud while

simultaneously

listening to your Cd?

Hmm.

Can it immediately be followed

by watching a "twilight" movie

of your choice?

Hmm, that's far too much

excellence in one night.

I think you're right.

Let's go straight for the movie.

It's time to top off the

night with some team Jacob.

Edward.

Team Edward.

Oh, I poked a bees' nest.

Now I've gone and done it.

I took a good thing

and messed it up.

All those things I

wish I didn't do,

but I'd take the fall as

long as is it's for you.

Uh, now I'm gonna have

to get my act together.

Tell me about your daughter.

For starters, she's

socially awkward.

At one time, she was very

interested in, uh, manicuring.

She's really fashionable,

and he never matches

his belt with the shoes.

You give her a

science book, and she's

human chemistry.

So how did she get a boyfriend?

We have no idea.

How did they meet?

She picked him up on

the side of the road.

Hitchhiking.

She was on her

skateboard, and that's

where she met this, um, fellow.

Kind of a turd in a

punchbowl kind of thing.

I hate to confess, but I

actually tried to pay the guy

off to get him to leave.

How much did you

offer him, honey?

Not enough.

He recently got her into

anime and that is not ok.

I don't even think that

they talked at all together.

When he came over...

They were texting

across the table.

He's a little bit of a bum.

I mean, she's a great girl.

She deserves a great guy.

He wants to breed ants.

I'm not really fond

of his skateboard.

Who breeds ants?

Long term is what

I'm worried about.

I mean, how are they gonna

provide for my grandchildren?

We need you.

We really need your help.

We love our daughter.

She's awkward, but we love her.

They've got to be broken up.

When could you start?
