What's Your Number? Page #8

and I cooked.

They're supposed to be taquitos,

they look like cannolis,

but they kind of taste like egg rolls.

What are you doing?

Are you working on the diner? All right.

Don't let me bug you.

Hey, so, just out of curiosity,

did you ever hear anything from Jake?

Nope.

Really? Not a phone call? Nothing?

Nope.

Okay, well,

I'm kind of busy right now,

so I guess I'll just see you later.

Sh*t! Ally, wait.

- Wait, wait.

- Just go.

I don't want to hear anymore lies.

All right, yes. Jake is back in town

and I do have his number,

but I didn't think that mattered now.

Would you please just go?

What about last night?

I think we should just forget

about last night.

- Because of Jake?

- No.

Because you're not the kind of guy

I'm supposed to end up with.

What kind of guy am I, Ally?

You're the kind of guy you date

before you meet the guy you end up with,

and I've already dated 20 of you.

So, you're gonna try

and make it work with Jake,

a guy you haven't seen in years,

just so you don't go over the number 20?

It's not just

about a number anymore, okay?

- Well, then what is it?

- It's what I want!

You don't know what you want, Ally.

You're so busy trying to be

what everyone else wants you to be,

you don't know who you are.

At least I have relationships.

You can't even hang out with a woman

for 24 hours without sleeping with her.

That was true until I met you.

Well, I'm sure that if we had slept

together, you'd be long gone by now,

because that's who you are, Colin,

and that's who you'll always be.

All right. Whatever you say, Ally.

You obviously have it all figured out.

And I do know who I am!

I'm someone who's not gonna let another

undeserving a**hole into my heart!

Or my vagina!

[MALE TENANT]:

Shut the f*** up!

Stop f***ing your dog!

Hi, Jake Adams, it's Ally.

Ally Darling from high school. Go, Vikings.

Um...

I came across your number,

and I thought,

"Wow, I should really call Jake

"and leave him a long, rambling message

on his voice mail".

Anyway, if you're feeling up to it,

you can give me a call anytime.

My number is 617-55...

(HICCUPS)

Oh, my God, I just hiccupped. I'm sorry.

617-55...

All right. Okay...

My number is 617-555-0192. Okay, bye.

(SIGHS)

(HICCUPS)

Well, who doesn't call that girl back?

Not again.

Who's the surprise guest this time?

I was supposed to have lunch with Dad

to tell him that he didn't have to come

to the wedding,

but then he said he was

gonna bring his girlfriend.

- Jacinda?

- Yeah.

And I just couldn't have that conversation

with him in front of her.

So, I just thought, you know,

we could do it together.

I am never meeting you

for another meal ever again.

You don't mean that.

Ally, I didn't know you were coming.

What a nice surprise.

- [ALLY]:
Hi.

- I'm Daisy.

[TERRY]:
Got all my girls here.

I see that you've got one of these, too.

I got a couple for the two of us,

so we can text and tweet.

You should follow me on Twitter,

"VeryTerry3".

Or we could just talk right now.

(CHUCKLES) LOL.

He is so excited about your wedding.

It's all he can text about.

I can't wait for everyone to meet my lady.

Oh, you're coming to the wedding, too?

That's great. That's so great.

- Ally, isn't that so great?

- It's great. It's so great.

Oh!

Excuse me for a second.

- Don't go.

- (WHISPERING) We are just fine.

Hold up. Ashton is getting his car washed.

- Nuh-uh.

- Lookit.

(HUMAN ROCKETPLAYING)

I am a human rocket

On a mission of deployment

I've been cocked and loaded

Ready for the culmination

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret agenda

That commands

my every thoughts and deeds

And wills me on my way

I am a human rocket

On a mission of redemption

I've been cocked and loaded

Primed by everything I know

I am a human missile

Guided by a secret voice

That commands

my every thoughts and deeds

And wills me on my righteous way

(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC STOPS)

[JAKE]:
All right. Great.

Ally.

Jake.

(COUGHS)

My brothers actually went more

into the business side of things,

and when my dad asked me

to run the foundation,

it was sort of more of a natural fit

for me, you know?

I've always been better

at giving away money versus making it.

I'm rambling.

I can hear myself totally rambling.

- No. No, no, not at all.

- I am. I am.

- I've been doing it all day.

- Kind of, but it's interesting.

Hey, what do... I mean, what about you?

Last I heard you were in marketing, right?

Yeah. I'm actually

in between jobs right now.

Well, listen, say the word.

I mean, I can get you an interview

over at Adams in two seconds.

Oh, thank you.

But you know what? I'm actually...

I'm thinking about making a change.

A change? Oh, yeah? What would you do?

I make these clay sculptures.

They're sort of

these freaky little urban scenes.

They're kind of hard to explain.

I'd really have to show you.

I'd love to see them.

Really?

They're in my shower.

Then I guess we're done here.

See. This is where they dry.

Wow. They really are in your shower.

Yep. (CHUCKLES)

[ALLY]:
Did I tell you that he speaks

four different languages,

but he's so not obnoxious about it?

And he's still so goddamn handsome,

and he smells so f***ing good.

It's crazy.

He's taking me to a gala

at the Institute of Contemporary Art,

and then I think we're going to go...

Whoa. That's not your dress.

Yeah. Yeah, I know, I just...

Yeah, I just like this one better,

'cause there's just...

You know, it's more comfortable.

There's just more room to...

To eat and to move, and to... To dance.

Okay.

I couldn't breathe in my other dress!

A bride should be able to breathe

in her own f***ing dress!

Sorry, I just am feeling

really stressed out right now

because I don't know how

I'm going to convince Mom

to come to my wedding,

because our dad

is bringing our new mommy,

- and she's not...

- Stop.

I will go with you to talk to Mom,

and you don't even have to trick me. Okay?

Now, are you sure you can breathe

in this dress?

Okay, then do that.

(GASPS)

[ALLY]:

It's really not gonna be that bad.

We're gonna loosen her up.

We're gonna ease into it.

It's gonna be great.

[DAISY]:
If you say so.

Mom?

I don't believe you!

When were you planning

to tell me about all this?

Hmm?

- Uh... Now?

- That's why we're here, Mom.

I have to read about it

in a magazine?

You and Jake Adams.

Are you an item?

Yes?

(SQUEALS)

Did you just squeal, Mom?

(LAUGHING) I don't know.

I'm out of my body right now.

Is it serious?

It could be, but we're taking it slow.

Do you really have that luxury?

I want to make sure that it's right.

Oh, it doesn't get any more right

than Jake Adams.

This is your life, Ally,

don't get creative.

When I saw you two in that magazine,

I went and found some old photographs.

Just look at this.

I knew he was the one.

Aw.

Tell me, Ally,

is he gonna be your date to the wedding?

Is he, Ally?

Yes.

Oh!

Oh, I got to get the seating chart.
