Wicker Park

Magnificent, aren't they?

God's tears.

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

So are the others.

I, uh...

I guess I just...

have to make the right decision.

In the end, it's not your eye

that must decide.

Yeah.

Did Rebecca call?

Yeah. She'll be at the restaurant

in an hour to take you to the airport.

I put your tickets, passport, and

your new cell phone in your briefcase

and Hong will be there

in ten minutes.

Thanks. See you in four days.

The second you land,

those guys are gonna start poking

and prodding to see what you're made of.

Are you sure I'm the right guy

for this, Walter?

I'm no good at this corporate stuff,

I hate flying--

and isn't this Bob's thing, anyway?

Bob? Come on, you're gonna be fine.

Just don't eat anything

that wears a collar,

and if you need me, I'll be on the beach

in Cozumel screening my calls.

Look...this is a big break for you.

But I'm giving you this account because

I think you're the right man for the job.

Besides, you're gonna be a member

of the family soon, right?

Going down, please.

Oh. Matthew, keep away

from the bang-bang girls

or Rebecca will kick my ass, all right?

Matty.

- Matty!

- Luke! Hey, man.

- How are you, man?

- I'm good. How are you?

Really good. Really good.

Good to see you. You look great.

Thanks, man. I mean, I do.

You still doing that whole

advertising thing in New York?

I moved back.

- When did you get back?

- Two months ago.

Two months? What are you doing?

You don't call your friend?

You could've called me.

I know. I just--I moved back

with a girl that I met in New York

and I'm working for her brother,

and it's...

That sounds serious.

Maybe. I don't know.

We'll see.

You look very serious.

Look at you.

I know, man.

Hold on!

Listen, man,

Yeah, I need to probably

move my car, too.

And then I'm going to China tonight.

- China? That's weird.

- Yeah, I know.

Let me give you a call

when I get back. Monday?

Yeah, sounds good--shut up!

All right, look, here's my card.

Don't wait two years--call me!

The old shop.

- All right?

- I will, man.

You look good.

That's a nice tie.

Good to see you.

Are you done? Come on!

He's very impressed

with what you've done,

and he assures you

that when you get to China,

you'll be met with much enthusiasm

and support.

Thank you very much.

Some champagne, please.

Excuse me.

Excuse you.

Matthew is a, uh, photographer.

Beautifully, wonderfully creative man.

And here's my favorite sister.

His only sister.

Mr. Hong, Ms. Chin,

this is my sister Rebecca.

Hey, Sweetie. How are you?

As you can see,

Matthew has managed to make himself

indispensable even away from the office.

Here, Sweetie. Just take one of these

Mr. Hong would like

to propose a toast.

Oh, yes.

To a long and prosperous marriage...

of our two companies.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Um, excuse me.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me,

Just a minute!

Sorry.

No, you listen!

And I don't feel like calming down.

It's over, okay?

That's why I wanted to meet.

No, actually I don't think

it was an accident.

It's in the paper!

I don't ever want

to see you again, Daniel.

Stop following me,

or I'll call the police!

Lisa.

Lisa!

Whoa. Hey, come on.

Are you all right?

I pissed her off.

You wanna put that

on this card, please?

Oh! This stupid...

Need some help there, Mare?

- What's up?

- It's so frustrating.

I just can't work out

why there's no sound.

I just...

Matthew? Hello?

Anybody home?

I'll take this one, if you want.

Knock yourself out, kid.

Oh, my God.

Sh*t.

- They wanna know how long--hey!

- Mary, I'll be right back.

- Sorry.

- Where are you going?!

Oh, sorry!

- Hey, guys.

- Hey, Lisa.

See you inside.

Hey.

Hey.

- Probably time to go, right?

- Yes.

Okay.

Pre-boarding call

for flight 752 to Munich.

All passengers should board

at this time at gate 5-A

I guess, uh, this is it.

Are you sure nothing's wrong?

No. No, I'm fine.

Okay. Well,

call me when you get there.

Okay. I will.

I love you.

Me, too.

Bye.

Bye.

Your attention. please.

This is the final boarding call

forAmerican Airlines flight 153

service to Shanghai.

Matthew Simon.

S-l-M-O-N.

Sh*t.

Yeah.

Yeah. No, he's not on the plane.

He's...

He's sick.

No, he's very sick.

He has food poisoning.

No, he'll be there

Lisa?

All right.

Hello?

Lisa?

Here. sweetie. Just take one of these

to help you sleep on the plane.

That line--what it does to your calf--

that is what we call sexy.

Wanna try pink? Hmm?

- Okay.

- Okay. Have a seat.

Hey. There you are.

Where you been?

You look like sh*t.

I hope she was worth it.

Hey, do we have

a size ten in pink?

Yeah, in the back.

- Hey, Ellie.

- Hey.

- I gotta talk to you.

- Lady Dragon Shoes.

Ow. So, who is she?

You wouldn't believe me.

Betcha I do. I probably even know her.

What's her name?

That's the thing.

You don't know her name?

Oh, man.

I know that she's a dancer.

You mean, like a stripper?

No, shithead.

Oh, God.

But her face is like...

Her eyes...

...and her...skin is just...

She just makes me all...

What is "wha" and "duh"? She just

makes you more inarticulate than usual.

You are obsessed,

I mean, I don't know how

I mean, my customer over there--

she's got great legs. Ellie.

All right? There is

something hot about Ellie.

The blonde at the window.

I mean, come on.

What are you doing?

Matty, are you all right?

Lady Dragon Shoes.

Can I help you?

The blonde?

What are you doing?

Give me some shoes.

- Shoes?

- Yeah.

Got lots of shoes.

I'm sorry I took so long.

Pink. It's my last pair.

Could I help you with anything?

Yes.

Those shoes in the window.

The black ones

with the red sole.

I'd like to try them on, please.

The blacks and reds. Okay.

I'll just go in the back

and get them for you.

That's where we keep them--

in the back--so...

I'll be right back.

Uh, Matty?

Maybe you'd like to ask the lady

what size shoe she wears.

- Right.

- 8 1/2.

Like Fellini.

Right.

I mean his movie, not his shoe size.

Sh*t.

What was that?

Fellini! What the hell

was I thinking?

I have no idea.

But you were right about one thing.

God, she's beautiful.

And you, my man,

are an idiot.

All right, look.

Here's the thing, all right?

You've obviously blown it,

she obviously hates you,

so you stay right here

and let the man take a shot.

- Shut up. Give me the shoes.

- All right. Go.

Just remember--

you're not funny.

Here we go.

Black and red.

What do you think?

They're too big.

Too big? Really?

Luke, these are 9 1/2s.

I'm sorry.

That's the smallest size we have.

Oh, well. Too bad.

Not--you know...

not necessarily.

We can order these for you.

Special order. And, uh--

I can, uh, if you leave your number,

I can give you a call personally

when they come in.

Do you normally spy on people?

What?

Are you really gonna tell me that

you're a huge fan of modern dance?

Look, I've never done

Honestly--could you let me take you out
