The Truth About Lies Page #11

Synopsis: Gilby Smalls is having a meltdown. He's just been fired from his job, lost his apartment in a fire and his girlfriend gave him the boot. And it's only Wednesday. Now, at the ripe old age of thirty-something, he is forced to move in with May, his booze-swindling man-obsessed mother. This is the last straw. Gilby's life is bleak until best friend Kevin drags him to a family get-together, where he meets Rachel, Kevin's very beautiful but very married sister. Rachel is the very thing Gilby needs to get his life back on track. Desperate to impress her, Gilby starts to weave a web of lies; one bigger than the next. Now in a sticky mess, Gilby is forced to face the uncomfortable truth about himself before he can find a way out of his very own Lies. The Truth About Lies explores the potent role lying plays in relationships and life with some surprising results!

Really? Did you?

Yeah.

Namaste, a**hole.

I just feel so guilty all the time.

Why can't I stop thinkin' about Rachel?

I mean, I-I-I have

everything I want.

Everything really is great.

And that situation was totally wrong.

I-I mean, I don't even want her,

or anything like that, anymore.

It sounds to me like you need closure.

Have you even spoken

to her since that night?

No.

Maybe that's why you're

still struggling with this.

Why don't you just call her?

I can't do that.

Why?

Sharon and I are in a really good place.

We're being totally honest with each other.

I'm not suggesting anything salacious here.

A simple conversation is not a crime.

Hi.

Gilby.

Hey, how are you?

I'm good. I'm good.

I haven't seen you around yoga, lately.

Oh, yeah, I don't-I don't do that anymore.

It was just a-a phase, I guess.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Yeah, all that seeking stuff.

Maybe I just had too much time on my hands.

Actually, maybe all I needed was a job.

So, what are you doing here?

Uh, I'm not really sure, to be honest.

Um, everything ended so weird.

Rachel... I'm really sorry.

Oh, come on.

Sh*t happens, right?

Just forget it.

You don't hate me?

No, I don't hate anybody.

It's a complete waste of energy.

I know I was a mess then,

but that time really changed me.

I mean, y-you really changed me.

You were a good friend.

Look...

you never really knew me,

and I had no idea who you were.

Hey, for what it's worth,

I thought it was special.

I think you're romanticizing

something that was never really there.

Wow.

Wow.

I never thought about it that way,

but I-I guess you're right.

Yeah.

Go home, Gilby.

We can still be friends.

We never really were.

I just don't know exactly...

I wish I had the words.

I don't know what to say.

Just say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Oh, take it off.

Unsnap my bra.

- No-no-no.

- Just take it off. Just take it off!

- I'm just gonna rip it.

- What are you talking about?

- No-no-no.

- Just kiss me.
