Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! Page #10

She was a great girl,

completely unpretentious.

I actually met her

filling her Cadillac up with gas.

Anyway, there was this French guy.

He was really rich.

He owned, like, France.

I didn't stand a chance.

It happens that way sometimes.

It shouldn't, but it does.

Sometimes Goliath

kicks the sh*t out of David.

lt's just nobody bothers

to tell that story.

Well, thanks, Mr. Futch.

I feel much better now.

- Goodbye, Mr. Futch.

- Take it easy, Pete.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

No.

Ever feel more confused or alone?

No.

Have a nice flight.

So, we'll see you

after principal photography.

Yes, Daddy.

You guys don't mind not flying with us?

We need our privacy.

- That's fine.

- Yeah.

We look forward

to our sh*t-ass commercial flight.

I always wanted

a layover in Cincinnati.

- We will be absolutely fine.

- Another one in Chicago.

So we'll be in LA by April?

We'll be fine.

- lt's time.

- OK.

- Safe trip, Tad.

- Bye, honey.

- Welcome aboard, Mr. Hamilton.

- Bye.

- Miss?

- Thank you.

Stop it. Stop it.

What's the matter with you?

Come on.

Commercial isn't so bad.

There's got to be room for one more.

Will you pull yourself together?

Thank you.

Would you like a Vicodin?

Jimmy, being

in your movie is a privilege.

In fact, it's more than a privilege.

lt's a real privilege.

Can l... Do you mind if I call you back

in a few minutes?

OK, thank you, sir.

- You OK?

- Mm-hmm.

I'm just a little nervous

for some reason.

I have a little nervous feeling

in my... self.

- But that's only natural, right?

- Yeah.

This is a pretty huge thing I´m doing.

Kind of a great leap of faith.

But I have that faith in you.

So I´m fine. lt's going to be great.

- Good.

- Can't you tell by my smile?

Which one is it?

- What?

- What number smile is it?

lt's...

Wait, it was one.

No, one was when something

really made me laugh.

- Right?

- One and a half.

Rosie...

I didn't know about your six smiles.

Pete told me about them.

He made me swear

I wasn't going to break your heart,

or he would tear me to pieces,

either with his bare hands

or his rhetoric.

I stole the speech from Pete

to get you to come here with me.

I lied. And I´m sorry.

And I know you're going to be

very upset. I just...

- Pete told you about the six smiles?

- Yeah.

And made you swear

that you wouldn't break my heart?

Or he'd tear you to pieces, with either

his bare hands or his rhetoric?

Yeah.

That is just so...

adorable.

What?

Do you think it's possible

to love someone your whole life

and never really realize it

until something happens

that makes you see?

- What's that from?

- No, it's not from anything.

I'm just saying it to you.

Wow.

Man, what a week.

Fell in love for the first time,

got my heart broken for the first time,

was honorable for the first time.

Got bit in the ass for being

honorable for the first time.

Bought a farm.

I'm sorry about the broken-heart part.

Do you think

you could take me home now?

Yeah.

Thank you.

- Cathy.

- Rosie?

- Where's Pete?

- He's not here. What are you doing?

What do you mean?

He's always here. He's Pete.

No. He didn't come in today.

Can I borrow your car?

Yes.

Thank you.

Pete. Pete.

Not Pete.

Wow.

I'm just here because Pete

asked me to box up some stuff.

- Why? Where's he going?

- Richmond.

And he isn't going.

He's gone.

He's gone to Richmond?

Why?

I cannot believe I am taking

my work home with me.

When great love is rejected, Rosalee,

something inside a man dies.

So all he can do is run away,

where he can meet the girl

he'll love second most.

- Unless...

- Unless what?

Unless you can get to him

before he closes the book on you.

But once it's closed, it's closed.

lt's finished. lt's gone, dead.

lt's crushed. lt's beaten. lt's buried.

It is lost for all of time in a sea...
