to save I alone.

And so adieu, good madam.

Nevermore will I my master's tears

to you deplore.

She's good.

Look, I should really get

to the airport.

Yeah. Yeah.

If you have to go, go.

I'm sure Alex is gonna be disappointed

she didn't get a chance to meet you.

Tell her she did a great job.

And I'll see you on Monday.

I will. Hey, Matt, thanks for everything.

It means a lot to me.

I'm sorry you didn't find Lisa.

Yeah, me, too.

- I'll see you around, huh?

- All right, man.

Hey, Alex.

Alex, it's me.

Please go away.

C'mon, baby. Open the door.

I don't want your friend

to see me like this.

He won't. He left.

What? He left?

Did I scare him away?

Scare him away?

You blew him away.

You blew everyone away.

You were unbelievable.

He just had a plane to catch.

A slow one to China.

Open the door.

Did he find her?

What?

Your friend--did...

Did he find Lisa?

No, it just turned out to be some...psycho

with the same name, same everything.

He slept on her couch and ran away

as fast as he could.

Are you okay?

Alex. you've gotta help me.

What's wrong?

Well, I booked this job--

a European tour of Cabaret.

Oh, wow! That's fantastic!

I know. Some girl broke her ankle,

I'm taking over.

But listen, I can't find Matthew.

I've been looking all over for him,

and my plane's leaving in two hours.

Did you leave him a message?

I can't really leave this

on his machine, you know.

It's too complicated.

I wrote him a letter.

Do you mind giving it to him?

I've never even met him.

He doesn't knowwho I am.

It doesn't matter--just tell him

you're my friend. It'll be fine.

You know what,

just let yourself in

and leave it on his bed.

I really appreciate this.

Thank you so much.

Sure. Okay.

All right.

He asked me

to move in with him.

Oh. What did you say?

I didn't really say anything.

I was late for a class,

I said I'd meet him tomorrow.

If I don't show up, you know, he'll go nuts.

Anyway, I have to go.

Thanks again, and I'll call you

when I get there, okay?

Are you gonna do it?

Of course.

I love him.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey. this is Matthew.

Please leave a message.

Hey. It's me again.

Where are you?

Did you get my letter?

Anyway. I'm in Paris.

I'm at the hotel. You got

the number in my last message.

Matt. please call me.

This is driving me crazy.

I need to speak to you.

Look. if you're angry at me.

then don 't be.

Just call... please.

Bye.

I don 't know

if I can stay with the show.

I feel like I have to come home

and look for him.

No, l...

I wasn't gonna say

anything before, but...

...when I brought him the letter...

...he wasn't expecting me, and...

...I found him in bed

with another woman, Lisa.

I--I can't believe it.

Just...forget about him.

The best thing for you to do

is stay with the show and...

just forget him.

I really thought I knew him.

Just forget him.

He's not even worth it.

Luke, I'm so sorry.

No. Shh...it's okay.

I'm so sorry.

No. Please, don't apologize.

Please. God.

I know you're doing the best you can.

I just...

I just want you to know that l...

that I love you.

All right? And I don't

wanna play games anymore.

What's the point?

I'm just terrible at them anyway.

Do me a favor.

Grab that, would you?

Hello?

Hello?

- Who's this?

- Who's this?

This is Matthew.

Who is this?

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, what's up, kid?

I thought you left.

No, uh...

What are you still doing here?

I'm over at the...

girl's apartment.

You went back

to the crazy girl's house?

What the hell are you doing there?

I'm really starting

to worry about you, man.

I'm starting to worry myself.

It's not just that.

I couldn't even

get on the airplane.

The thing is...

...there's something

about this apartment.

It's like Lisa's been here.

I know this sounds insane. but...

I think this is her place. man.

Well. maybe you're

just hot for this crazy girl.

First thing you gotta do is get out

of her apartment and get over here.

I'll tell you about some stuff. too.

I've had the most amazing night

of my entire life last night.

Okay. I'll be over. Just give me

a couple of minutes. okay?

All right. I'll wait.

Later.

- Hello?

- Hi. um...

May I speak to Matthew, please?

Who is this?

Um... this is Lisa.

I'm a friend of his.

I'm calling about my compact.

I think he might have found it.

Uh...which Lisa is this?

Pardon me?

Uh...I'll tell you what--

he's actually supposed to be here

in a couple of minutes.

Hello?

Hello!

Hi.

Hi.

I'm sorry I didn't come back.

My, um...

...double shift turned into a triple,

and I just couldn't get away.

That's okay.

Don't worry about it.

Are you mad?

No. Not at all.

I had a great time.

Where are you?

Well, I'm still at work but, um,

so why don't you wait?

Yeah, I'll wait.

Okay. great.

I'll see you soon.

Let me. uh...

Iet me grab your phone number

and I will have him call you

when he gets in.

Um, you know...actually, could you

just tell him to meet me at 3:00?

He'd know where.

Um, I'll be waiting for him.

I--you know what,

it can't be him already,

but I'm expecting him.

Someone's at my front door.

so maybe it is him.

So hold on a second.

Matthew, trust me, okay?

Meet me tomorrow in the park.

Same time.

Bye.

Yeah. I'm sorry.

It wasn't him. it was someone else.

But I promise you

I will give him your message. Okay?

Oh. Okay. Thank you.

I went to get cigarettes.

What's going on?

Matthew. He didn't leave.

He went back to that girl's house.

The crazy one.

Oh, the plot thickens.

Oh, yeah. It gets even better.

Listen to this.

So I hang up the phone,

and five seconds later, Lisa called.

The real Lisa.

The one from two years ago.

She wants to see him.

You tell him?

No, not yet.

I'll wait till he gets here.

He's gonna be so happy,

he's gonna hit the moon again.

I have to go!

- What do you mean?

- I'll call you later. I promise.

But I made breakfast.

My dad's famous potatoes.

Lisa called.

She wants to see him.

So, will you let me

meet your friends?

Don't you have a store to run?

Oh, okay.

I can take a hint.

So we're going out tomorrow, right?

- 7:
00?

- Sure.

Okay.

Bye, and thanks for the lift.

Bye.

Matty. Hey.

Matty!

- Matty!

- Luke! Hey, man!

- How are you, man?

- I'm good. How are you?

Really good. Really good.

Oh, excuse me. Could I order

Absolutely.

He's very impressed

with what you've done.

and he assures you that

when you get to China...

... with much enthusiasm

and support.

I'm sitting over here.

Excuse me. Champagne.

Excuse you.

No.

Uh, Miss Chin,

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!

As you can see, uh...

Here, Sweetie...

Hello. Bellucci's.

May I help you?

Hello, may I speak

to my friend Lisa, please?

She's the blonde.

She's sitting at a table behind the bar.

Yes. Just a minute. please.

Excuse me. are you Lisa?

Phone's for you.

It's a little noisy here. Why don't you

take the house phone around the corner.

Okay. Thank you.

T o a long and prosperous marriage...
