of our two companies.

Excuse me. I'm gonna go make

a phone call. I'll be right back.

No.

No.

- Hello?

- Hey, Lisa. It's me.

Hey. what happened to you?

I know. I'm so sorry.

I got stuck at work.

Look. Daniel's found me

at the hotel.

Hang on.

Just a minute!

Look, could I stay at your place

for a couple of days?

Yeah, of course. Um...

Go there right now.

I'll--I'll meet you there.

Hey.

Hey.

How are you, Lisa?

Good. How are you?

Good.

Thought you'd be in China by now.

That makes two of us.

Sit down.

- What's that?

- It's a present.

- For me?

- Yeah.

I saw that yours were--

yours were broken, so...

Uh, wanna try them on?

That's very sweet.

You didn't have to do that.

Oh, that's okay.

They're a little big.

What size shoe do you wear?

Seven.

These are 8 1/2.

I would've told you what size I was if l

knew you were gonna get me some shoes.

It's okay.

I could exchange them.

You don't have to do that. I...

Anyway, I told a friend of mine l'd

meet him for coffee before I left, so...

What? You're leaving?

Yeah.

Bye.

Hey, Luke. It's me.

Let's meet.

Jesus Christ.

What are you doin'?

I thought you were comin' by.

I, uh...I was comin' by.

I just lost track of the time.

I got good news for you.

Let's go have a drink.

I want you to meet someone.

Come on.

Come on.

Hey, babe. I came as soon as you called.

Look who I ran into. It's Matthew.

Matthew, Alex.

Finally you two meet.

Hi.

Hello.

Have a seat.

Hi.

Hello.

Want a cocktail?

Excuse me.

Hi, how can I help you?

What do you want?

A vodka rocks. Double.

Wow.

Baby?

You know what? I'll have, um,

Put it in a bucket. Not like a double,

He knows how to do it.

Thanks.

You got it.

So what happened

with your psycho?

You can say it in front of Alex.

She knows the whole story anyway.

Sometimes when you see

someone from afar...

...you develop a fantasy.

Then when you see them up close,

nine times out of ten,

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

I was confused,

...thought I'd find what I was looking for,

but I found something else.

Did you talk to her?

Just long enough for her

to convince me that she's a liar.

No harm, no foul, though, right?

What do you think, Alex?

I mean, you know the whole story.

It's easy to stand back and judge.

You don't know anything

about this woman.

I know that she has no conscience

and no regard for anyone but herself.

I mean, what else

You make yourself

into such a victim.

Nobody made you be with her. You can't

even see what a hypocrite you're being.

I'm being a hypocrite?

How am I being a hypocrite?

- Yes, you are!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You guys. Hey, relax.

No, Luke. Hey, hold on.

Alex, I'd like you to explain to me

how I'm being a hypocrite.

Who's to say this woman hasn't been

in love with you for a really long time?

And now that she found you again,

she wasn't about to let you go twice.

What?

Maybe...

the first time she saw you,

maybe she felt the way you did

the first time you saw Lisa.

You remember that.

Love makes you do crazy things.

Insane things.

Things in a million years

you never thought you'd see yourself do.

There you are doin' it.

Can't help it.

Jesus Christ.

Lighten up, you guys.

This woman--she's a nut.

She's psycho.

She's cuckoo-bananas, all right?

End of story.

Can we change the subject?

I actually have something

to cheer you up.

Did you, uh, leave a note

with the bartender here a few days ago?

Yeah, I did.

'Cause Lisa called.

What?

Yeah! After you got off the phone.

She said to meet her at 3:00.

She couldn't wait long, 'cause she had

to get on a plane to London.

W-where am l

supposed to meet her?

She didn't say.

She said you'd know.

You don't know?

I think you know where.

It hasn't been that long, has it?

What?

You know, uh...

Maybe he'll know something.

You knew she was here

the whole time?

This belongs to you.

It's from her.

"Matt. please don't think

that I'm running away from you.

"I was so overwhelmed

when you asked me to move in.

"I couldn't speak.

"My answer. of course. is yes.

I love you.

and can't wait to come home. "

I'm not going to apologize

for what I've done.

This is for me to live with now.

Now you see me for who I am.

Yes, I do.

Hey. Where you goin'?

Hey.

Where you goin'?

I knowwhere she is.

All right.

Tell me what happens.

That guy. He's um...

more drama

than a Mexican soap opera.

Luke! This...

This is over.

- What's over?

- Us.

How can it be over?

We haven't even started yet.

I'm not who you think I am.

I used you.

Taxi!

Come on.

Hey!

Hey, come on!

God!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Sorry.

Thanks.

- Goin' to Wicker Park.

- Yeah, right away.

Your attention. please.

Flight 862 service to London

is now boarding.

Hi!

There you are!

Where've you been?

Your flight got in an hour ago.

I've been down

to luggage claim and back.

- Rebecca.

- Hey.

I, um...

What's the matter?

Rough flight home?

Did you bring me back

that little Chinese dress?

- Rebecca--

- You okay, Sweetie?

I didn't go to China.

What are you talking about?

Hi, Alex. You're never gonna

believe what happened.

Matthew's back in town.

I can't marry you.

It would be a huge mistake.

You're gonna have to help me out, baby.

Did I do something wrong?

No, you didn't--

You didn't do anything wrong.

Rebecca, l...

I've been doing something wrong

for the last two years.

I'm not...

I'm not this person.

I can't go back with you.

I can't do this.

I was gonna meet him in the park,

but he didn't show up.

Yeah...I know.

What do you mean?

Lisa. I've been doing some really...

horrible and selfish things.

What are you talking about?

I've been keeping you apart.

When we met two years ago,

I was in love with someone else.

And she just came back

into my life.

She broke my heart--

and I'm sorry!

Oh, my God.

I--Rebecca, I know...

I know that I'm still in love with her.

I just--I needed you to know.

Knowwhat?

Know what, Matthew?

That I'm not the girl

that can break your heart?
