The Night We Never Met Page #7

Synopsis: Sam has a problem with his roommates: they are disgusting, and don't seem to share his views on responsibility, privacy, and basic hygiene. Such is his discomfort with his living arrangements that he agrees to share the occupancy of another flat: he gets two nights a week, the owner (a sleazy frat-boy yuppie named Brian, soon to be married) and Ellen (a would-be painter seeking relief from her boring marriage) each get their separate nights in the flat. Things go extremely well until Sam and Brian swap nights without telling Ellen, who attributes the "nice" things that happen around the place to the slob Brian, while berating the responsible Sam for his hedonistic lifestyle.

What's his problem?

What's my problem?

You're throwing me out on

the street with no notice.

I don't know what

her problem is.

Well, I'm sorry, compadres,

but, uh...

You got to do what

you got to do.

Know what I mean?

Thanks, babe.

Mmm.

Adios, amigos.

Take care, man.

Well, listen, I'm sorry that

I yelled at you before.

But I'm...

I...

How can you sleep

with a guy like that?

You idiot!

I didn't mean to

sleep with him!

I meant to sleep with you!

Oh, well...

Well, that's okay.

You don't have to say that.

No. well, I did.

I bought clothes.

And I bought good food,

'cause I know you like food.

And I even bought caviar.

Chinese caviar?

Yes.

I just...

had the days confused, and...

Oops.

I'm sorry.

Listen, guys, you know,

I just realized something.

Just 'cause I'm giving up

the place doesn't mean, uh...

I'll tell Mrs. Winkler to sublet

it to the two of you...

for a while.

Uh, Brian?

Hey, pal, let me give you a tip.

One drink, and she's yours.

Arrivederci!

Yeah!

Wiggy, wiggy, wiggy, wiggy!

He's not such a bad guy.

Maybe I found a better guy.

I'm Sam.

I'm Ellen.

# More than you know

# More than you know

# Girl of my heart

# I love you so

# Lately I find

# You're on my mind

# More than you know

# Whether you're right

# Whether you're wrong

# Girl of my heart

# I'll string along

# You need me so

# More than you'll ever know

# Still picking

# Up the pieces of my heart

# Picking up the pieces

of my heart #

# Where is the

missing part?

# You broke it off

# Your name is engraved

in my soul #

# Your name is engraved

in my soul #

# Deep down inside

# Still feel the passion

you no longer show #

# So what do i do with

the thought of you? #

# Just can't get you

off my mind #

# Let me remind you

# True love like mine,

ain't no other place to find #

# Head over heels,

something's wrong #

# Puppy love, it can't be,

it's much too strong #

# Now you know how it feels if

you still remember long ago #

# Yes, you know

# I've been trying,

trying hard for so long #

# To let the bygones

be bygones #

# But it's a feeling

I can't bear #

# And I'll always be

waiting there #

# For you to come

back home

# Time and again

I try to fade away #

# Memories of you and me

# But ain't no use,

ain't no use #

# Ain't no use,

ain't no use #

# I'd have said, "Give it a

little more thought and time" #

# But keeping myself on a line

wouldn't make you mine #

# And as long as you're happy

# I should be fine

# So what do I do with

the thought of you? #

# Just can't seem to dry

my tears #

# So what do I do with

the thought of you? #

# To forget you

is my greatest fear #

# I'd lose my brain

and go insane #

# If you'd make me

wait in vain #

# So tell me something, baby

# Just to ease the pain

# Head over heels,

something's wrong #

# Puppy love, it can't be,

it's much too strong #

# Now you know how it feels if

you still remember long ago #

# Yes, you know

# I've been trying,

trying hard for so long #

# To let the bygones

be bygones #

# But it's a want

that I can't bear #

# And I'll always be

waiting there #

# For you to come

back home

# Come back home

# Come back home

# Head over heels,

something's wrong #

# Puppy love, it can't be,

it's much too strong #

# Now you know how it feels if

you still remember long ago #

# Yes, you know

# I've been trying,

trying hard for so long #

# To let the bygones

be bygones #

# But it's a want

that I can't bear #

# And i'll always be waiting

there for you to come back #

# Head over heels...
