What Women Want Page #7
-That one's cute.
-It's low-cut. I can't wear low-cut.
- [Nick Knocking At Door]Alex ?
- It's open.
What? Say something.
Uh, hi.
I'm Alex's dad, Nick.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Deadbeat.
- Mr. No-Food-in-the-House.
[Girl#2 Thinking]
Forgot her birthday.
Why is he just standing there ?
Oh, I-I just wanted
to let you know that I was home...
and that I got sort of a date
later on tonight, so I'm going out.
But I'll be home early. Hey,
why don't you guys order a pizza ?
There's not a scrap of food
in the joint.
I also wanted to know if maybe you
and I could go out on a date soon ?
I'd like to take you shopping
for a prom dress.
Oh, that is so sweet.
I wish my dad would do
something like that.
- [Girl#1 Thinking] I love him.
- [Alex] I don't get it.
Now you wanna take me shopping
so I can go to the prom with him ?
I overreacted, and I just wanna make
up for it by taking you shopping.
I mean, it's a pretty
important thing, you know ?
They say it's all downhill
after the dress.
He must be stoned.
Fine.
I'll get the most expensive dress,
shoes, makeup. He can afford it.
And what the hell.
Let's go crazy.
While we're at it, we'll get you
new makeup, shoes, the works.
- What do you say ?
- Fine, whatever.
Whatever meaning ''yes.''
Yes ?
Yes.
Great. Nice to have met you two.
I hope to see you again soon.
- Definitely.
- Bye, Mr. Marshall.
- Love the apartment.
- Great view.
Thank you.
Oh, okay.
I gotta tell ya, I'm not
usually like this on a first date.
It's just... you've been
so amazing all night.
- You've been so sensitive...
- Oh, well--
and so understanding and--
Hey.
- You wanna come up ?
- Oh, yeah.
I can't believe I asked him up.
Am I ready for him to come up ?
If I sleep with him, he'll think
I'm a slut and never call me again.
Or he'll call me all the time 'cause
he'll think he can get it whenever.
Oh, what's the difference ?
He's so incredible !
He reminds me of my sister.
- So, what do you think ?
- Well, I--
I'll only come up
if you really want me to.
I don't want you to do anything
you're not ready for.
- I can wait.
- [ Squeals ]
- Oh, he's got a great body.
But-- Whoa !
What's with the tongue ? I'm
gonna need the Heimlich maneuver.
Thank you.
Ooh.
- Ouch ! Right, they're attached.
- I'm sorry.
Oh !
Now we're talkin'.
Uh-huh.
Oh.
Okay.
Lied about the grande.
[ Groans ]
Would you mind if we had
- No, you want the light on ?
- Yeah, it might help.
Okay, if it'll help.
God, I hope he's better
with the light on.
He's so all over the place.
Just do it so I can start faking it.
Is Britney Spears
on Leno tonight ?
[ Panting ]
- You okay ?
- Well--
Yeah, I'm just fine.
What--
What happened ?
Shaking--
[ Groans ]
Okay. All right.
Now, let's pull this
together, buddy.
I mean,
this is what we do.
- You okay ?
- Yeah.
Just regrouping.
- [ Chuckling ]
- Lola ?
- I can do this better.
- Wanna bet ?
Yeah.
[Train Passing By]
[Moaning]
Amazing !
Amazing.
Oh ! It was like...
you were more inside of me
than anybody ever !
- [ Panting ]
- Well, thanks, doll.
- I tried.
- No, no.
- I mean, more inside my head.
- Oh.
Like, you knew what I wanted
and how I wanted it.
We connected in a way
that was beyond--
beyond--
Oh, my heart !
My heart is beating
so hard.
[ Thinking ]
Who would've thought ? Slow starter,
then turns out to be
a genius in bed.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Nick Marshall is a sex god !
Oh, yeah.
- [ Voices Overlapping ]
- Living life.
- Life. Livin' it.
- Ooh. That's good.
- [ Bell Dings ]
- [ Thinking, Indistinct ]
Ha !
I love it.
- [KnockingAt Door]
- [Dan] I know. I know.
- Wait a minute.
- No, it's great.
[ All Laughing ]
Okay, that was a--
One more. Time for one more.
Okay, you know why guys like
doing it in front of the mirror ?
- Why ?
- That's a good one. Anyway.
- Oh, that's a good one.
I heard that in
the beauty shop this morning.
- But seriously. Dee ?
- Huh ?
talking about before.
Come on. I mean, he can't
just ignore you all night,
stay glued to the TV
like some zombie...
and then expect you
to turn it on like a lightbulb.
I mean, I wouldn't
put up with that.
I mean, you're either
interesting or you're not.
Ask him to decide.
- Can I write that down ?
- All right.
I'm either interesting
or I'm not. He'll sh*t a brick.
Hmm.
What if he says I'm not ?
He won't say
that you're not.
Trust me.
Okay, I did it.
I told Chaim
I wasn't moving to Israel.
Yeah, good.
And ?
I said what you said.
He can be a writer anywhere.
If I'm going to be in advertising,
I need to be here and not there.
[ Whistles ]
And then he said ?
- I don't know. It was in Hebrew.
- Ooh.
But I don't think it was,
''You got it. See you next Tuesday.''
I don't know. I'd wait it out.
He'll call you.
I can't.
I better call him back.
Be strong.
He will call you.
Well, girls, been nice chattin'.
I gotta get back to work.
[ All Chattering ]
- Can I make you a sandwich ?
- No, l'm cool.
Really.
But thank you, anyway.
This was fun.
[ All ]
Aww !
[ Thinking ]
Huh. This is good.
More insightful
than I would've thought.
This line doesn't feel
exactly right.
If you're thinking that line isn't
perfect, I agree. It needs work.
There's something not exactly
I mean, it's not bad. It's
insightful, actually. It's just--
Well, what do you think
this woman's thinking ?
Uh, well, I--
Let's see.
Uh, she's thinking about
what she wants out of life.
What's she gonna accomplish ?
How's she gonna do all that ?
Women, you know,
I mean,
surprisingly a lot.
They worry all the time
about everything.
You're so right.
How do you know that ?
Well, you know,
even I had a mother.
[ Chuckles ]
Well--
time off from all of that.
It gives her something she can't
get anyplace else. Look at her.
God.
I want to be her.
She looks so free,
doesn't she ?
No one's judging her,
no boss to worry about,
no guys to worry about,
no games to figure her way through.
I like that.
No games. That's good.
That'd be nice in life,
wouldn't it ?
Okay, can I just think
for one second ?
- Take your time.
- Okay.
Okay.
No games.
How do I get that in ?
She's running.
lt's early, it's quiet.
Just the sound of her feet
on the asphalt.
She likes to run alone.
No pressure, no stress.
This is the one place
she can be herself.
Look any way she wants,
dress, think any way she wants.
No gameplaying, no rules.
Games, sports, rules.
Games, sports, rules.
Playing by the rules.
Playing games versus playing--
Playing by the rules.
Playing games versus playing--
- Why are you nodding ?
- Because you're onto something.
- Am I ?
