What Women Want Page #8
- Aren't you ?
Well, I was thinking about
a play on words.
Something about games versus--
I feel like
I was onto something good.
- Playing games versus playing--
- Sports ?
Yes ! Thank you.
Do you like any of this ?
A lot. I like the idea that you can
be yourself on the road.
I do too.
Did I say that out loud ?
[ Stammering ]
No, I was just--
'Cause I was circling around
the exact same thing,
-which is great, we're on the same--
-Yeah.
Sorry, I'm not thinking straight.
My glands may be swollen.
Maybe they should be more swollen.
You're doing great. Nike. No games.
Just sports.
- Oh.
All right.
Did he come up with that,
or did I ?
Boy, can I be--
What ?
Uh, well,
can I be honest with you ?
Please do.
Before I came here, I heard you
were a tough, chauvinistic prick.
I didn't know you were
gonna be that honest.
- Sorry. I'm-- Sorry.
- No, that's all right.
No, that's okay. You must have
looked so forward to meeting me.
I was dreading it. I had this whole
other person built up in my mind.
Well, since we're sharing,
I heard a few things about you too.
Yes, I'm sure. I'm the ''man-eating
b*tch Darth Vader'' of the ad world.
Verbatim.
Really ? All right.
Well, nice to meet you.
That's not who I am at all.
Just for the record,
I don't think that's who you are.
I don't.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
See, no games equals
embarrassing moment.
Don't fall for a guy at work.
Don't fall for a guy at work.
- Don't fall for a guy at work.
- Why ?
Why what ?
Why won't-- Why don't I just
work on these storyboards...
and then bring them back around
to you tomorrow if you're free.
I'm free.
Just call me anytime.
l'm flirting.
What's wrong with me ?
God ! I just looked at his penis.
I hope he didn't see me.
Oh, sh*t ! I just looked
at it again ! Stop it !
- Are you all right ?
- Fine. I got something in my eye.
Allright, um--
So, great.
So tomorrow will be--
That'll be great. I'll see you then.
- Uh, good work by the way.
- You too.
- You sure you're all right ?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you laughing at me ?
- Yeah.
- Good.
was still here.
- I didn't know anyone was here.
- What time is it ?
It's after 1 0:
00.- I didn't realize it was so late.
- [ Thinking ] I feel so alone.
Um-- I didn't catch that.
Sorry ?
- I didn't realize how late it was.
- And I'm glad you're here.
I'm stuck.
I feel so alone.
- You want a hand with this ?
- No, thanks. I'm okay.
Yeah, I'm not buying it.
What's going on ?
Well, I have an early meeting
tomorrow with Dan,
and I wanted to make it
later so I could be more prepared.
But then you slipped in there
and took the only time he had left,
which left me with
It's fine. I'm just not
as ready as I wish I was.
- Sorry.
- You didn't do it on purpose.
[Coughs]
I just don't want him
to be disappointed.
Hey, why don't we go through
- Really ?
- I insist.
- Unless you're too tired.
- Oh, no.
- I'm not tired.
- Yeah, I can see that.
It's just so far beyond
tired at this point.
I've basically stopped sleeping
ever since I took this job.
- You have ?
- Yeah, it's weird.
I, um--
[ Thinking ] How do I say this ?
You don't feel quite
like yourself here, do you ?
No, I don't.
Not yet, anyway.
Boy.
Plus, I'm mad
that I'm getting sick.
I never, ever get sick.
In fact,
you don't have to sit
so close to me if you don't want to.
No, come here.
I'll brave it.
So, where do we kick off ?
- Control-top panty hose ?
- Okay.
Personally, I think
they do the trick.
You've worn
control-top panty hose ?
- Did you put a pair in the box ?
- Seriously ?
Oh, yeah.
- You are full of surprises.
- Yeah.
No, no, no. I mean that
as a compliment. I love that.
- And how did you look in them ?
- Ooh. Hot.
My daughter and her boyfriend
walked in, and I got 'em on with--
And they said what when
they saw you in your panty hose ?
It was the turquoise Wonderbra
they noticed. Then, the nail polish.
[ Indistinct ]
[Alex] The dress
you picked out is totally hideous.
- l'm not coming out.
- It can't be that bad. Come on out.
I look like a nun--
an ugly nun.
Why ? Because it's gray ?
Gray is the new black.
If he says he likes it,
I'll die.
Okay, next.
This, I love.
Thank you.
Next.
I think this is the one.
I like that--
No, I love that.
Okay, this is it.
Let me take a look.
Yes !
I look older.
This is great.
Oh, God, I need b*obs.
Oh, I'll buy a padded bra
when he's not around.
I can't believe this is what I'll be
wearing the last night I'm a virgin.
- Or what I'll be taking off.
- [ Yells ]
- Alex ?
- Hmm ?
I wanna talk to you about something
that's pretty important.
- I've never talked to you about--
- Oh, God.
to be a dad.
This should be hilarious.
I realize I haven't been
the perfect dad.
[ Thinking ] Understatement of the
century. Can you pass the bread ?
Yeah, sure, sure. But that does
not mean I don't have the right...
to talk to you about--
about--
- About ?
All right.
and you may be flirting
with the idea of-of--
Having sex ?
Um, can I get a lemonade,
please ?
Well, you know, boys and girls
think very differently about sex.
My hunch is girls just want guys
to like 'em and hang out with 'em.
Whereas guys--
And not all guys, allright ?
But most guys, they pretty much
just wanna have sex.
Okay, I'm--
What I'm trying to say here is,
I don't want you
to feel pressured...
- because your boyfriend's older.
- Please. Save it.
Mom had this talk with me
when I was, like, 11.
You're supposed to have sex when
you're in love and it's special.
And Mom knows me for real
and knows my friends and Cameron,
so let's leave the parental
talks up to her, okay ?
- I promised Cameron I'd do it.
- Oh, jeez.
And also, let's not make me
part of this Nick makeover...
or whatever this new thing
you're into is, okay ?
- What new thing ?
- What new thing ?
This ridiculous new guy
you're trying to be.
Clowning around with me ?
Asking if we can make a salad ?
I mean, it's nuts
after 15 years of no relating.
I mean, come on.
Who are you to talk about
relationships anyway ?
You never had a real relationship
with anyone in your entire life.
Look, l'm supposed
to meet my friends.
- So I'm gonna go, okay ?
- Sure.
Thanks for the dress.
[Woman Thinking]
She didn 't even finish her lunch.
Johnny-come-lately,
giving her advice ?
- Oh, teenagers.
- I think the talk worked.
- She's totally right.
- Move on, dude. It's over.
[ Groans ]
Please.
Now you've seen how
the cake is assembled.
The next time you admire a wedding
cake, you'll be able to appreciate--
Wow.
It looks so gorgeous.
- [ Announcer ] Fit, vibrant hair.
- Oh.
I hated being overweight. I always
wanted to be thin and pretty...
