Wicker Park Page #4

I mean. she should be on Broadway

or something. 'cause she was awesome.

It was super late

by the time she got changed.

So we went out.

had a couple drinks and a couple laughs.

On the way home. I told her the whole

sordid story about you and Lisa.

So now, finally, he's found her.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

And did she explain

why she disappeared?

No, not yet.

He just wrote her this note.

They haven't actually spoken,

but they're supposed to speak soon.

You okay?

No, I'm not. You know, I don't...

You're kidding me.

No.

Do you mind

just taking me home?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Thanks.

So, I was thinking,

maybe I could go upstairs with you

and I'll make you

a nice big cup of hot chocolate...

...put a bunch

of little marshmallows up on top.

We'll watch TV and just hang out.

Do you love me?

I just wanna be alone.

- Well--

- I'll call you.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Alex.

Alex, wait a second.

You gotta be kidding me.

This girl's unbelievable.

You know what?

Don't call me, okay?

Don't call me until you figure out

what you wanna do with your life,

'cause I can't deal with this.

Every time, it's a different story

with you, all right?

Wait, l--I'm sorry.

I'll call you tomorrow.

God!

This girl is ridiculous.

Taxi!

And we had sex all night.

And the next morning.

I made her my dad's

world-famous breakfast, and...

I don't know.

It was pretty perfect.

That sounds really good, man.

It was pretty good.

When do I get to meet her?

Tonight.

Yeah, tonight. Tonight is her--

she's got this play.

It's the big opening.

It's Shakespeare.

Shakespeare.

Shakespeare. I know.

But it's supposed to be good. Trust me.

I'm supposed to leave tonight.

Yeah, but it's early.

You can go to the play,

then get on the plane.

Have you seen my compact?

You know, the silver one.

No, I haven't.

I hope I didn't leave it

at the hotel.

It was a gift from my grandmother.

Where did you get this?

Um...it's surgeon number two's.

He left it here last week.

Oh, my God.

It's so much like...

What?

Matthew.

So you're not getting

into too much trouble?

Thanks.

Take care of yourself, okay?

- Come on, let me film you.

- No. You first.

Come on, Alex. Are you shy? You can't

be shy if you wanna be an actress.

Here.

- Shakespeare?

- This is your big break.

That's Shakespeare.

I can't do that. That's too hard.

Haply, when I shall wed.

that lord whose hand

must take my plight

shall carry half my love with him,

half my care and duty.

Surely I shall never marry

like my sisters to love my father all.

So true, my lord.

In life--oh! I blew it.

I'm sorry. That was bad.

No, that was amazing.

You know, the thing with acting, Alex,

is you just have to commit.

Otherwise, you're just a phony.

I can't hear anything.

I know.

That's weird.

- Is it hooked up right?

- Yeah.

Can you take it back?

I know a place

I can get it fixed, actually.

Do you believe

in love at first sight?

Well, who is he?

Don't even try to lie about it.

I haven't met him yet.

I've just seen him.

I don't think he's got a girlfriend.

I can tell.

Don't wait.

The good ones go fast.

Well, I gotta go get the video camera,

so I'll talk to you later.

All right.

Hey...promise you'll talk to him?

Yeah...I'll think about it.

Okay. Bye.

I'll be right back.

- Sorry.

- Matthew, where are you going?

Sorry.

My God.

it's so much like...Matthew.

Don't be silly.

It belongs to one of the doctors

at the hospital.

Why would you think of Matthew?

Could I borrow

your car again tonight?

Oh, sure.

Thanks, Lisa.

Well, I better go.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Hi, excuse me?

I think I might have left a compact.

It's silver, engraved.

Um, let me ask.

Tony, did anyone turn in

a silver compact?

No. Sorry.

Okay. Thank you.

Lisa?

Yeah?

A guy did come in here looking for you.

Said he found your keys. Oh! And...

He left you this.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

"Lisa. I've been trying to find you.

"I have your powder case.

"Call me.

Matthew. "

Hey, Luke, can I talk to you

for a second?

Hey, Ellie, do me a favor.

Will you help her out?

Yeah, sure.

How's it goin'?

Hey. I just wanna say thanks

for everything

and, you know,

you've been great.

What about the play?

I thought you were comin' to the play.

I don't wanna miss

another flight, you know.

Listen, I'll make it up to you

when I get back. I promise.

Hey, taxi!

You have fun tonight, though, all right?

Say hi to Alex for me, and, you know.

- You're a lucky guy.

- You got plenty of time.

It's the late flight. I really want you

to come to the play. Please?

See, things, um...it's just not going

that well with Alex.

I've been kind of

exaggerating a little.

What do you mean?

Well...

Lying.

Uh! I've been lying!

It's 'cause my life's so pathetic.

No all-night marathon?

God, I'm lucky if I get a kiss

at the end of the night.

So I was thinking that if you came

to the play, I think that would really help.

I mean, I'd be so much

And then I can go to the bathroom

and you can tell her,

you know,

what a great guy I am

and rumor has it I'm really good

in the sack, and that, um...

I'm hung like a camel--

I don't know.

Please? I wouldn't ask

if it didn't mean a lot to me.

- I'll be there.

- Oh, you're the best. Thanks, buddy.

- I got it.

- Good. There you go.

- See you, brother.

- Yeah.

You the man. Thanks, man.

Well, you're all set.

You're on flight 1 559. First class.

Have a good trip.

I will. Thanks a lot.

Um, I'm booked in a flight

to London today.

I'd like to postpone it

until tomorrow, please.

Those shoes.

The black ones with the red sole.

I'd like to try them on. please.

Oh, excuse me, dear. Could you tell me

how to get to this museum from here?

I think it's...

I think it's back here.

- Let me show you. I'll walk you.

- Oh, thank you.

Alex, ten minutes!

This is it right up here.

- Here. Keep the change.

- Thanks.

Thanks.

How much better that man should fall

before the lion than the wolf.

The clock upbraids me

with the waste of time.

Be not afraid, good youth.

I will not have you.

And yet when wit and youth

is come to harvest,

your wife is like

to reap a proper man.

I'm right here. Sorry.

There lies your way.

Due west.

Excuse me.

Then westward ho. Grace and

good disposition attend your ladyship.

You'll nothing, madam,

to my lord by me?

Stay!

I prithee, tell me

what thou thinkst of me.

That you do--think...

Sit down.

- You are...

- Sorry.

Not what you are.

Is that her?

Yeah, that's my girl.

Then think you right.

I am not what I am.

I would you were

as I would have you be.

Would it be better,

I wish it might,

for now I am your fool.

You're in love with this guy.

and he is asking you

to help him get another woman!

You're upset. you're confused.

it's tearing you up inside!

You have been in love before.

haven't you?

By my innocence, I swear,

and by my youth,

I have one heart,

And no woman has,

mistress be of it
