Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! Page #2

Synopsis: Pete (Topher Grace), the quirky, self-deprecating manager of a grocery store, is madly in love with his best friend, Rosalee (Kate Bosworth). Unfortunately, she has absolutely no idea. When Rosalee wins a date with her favorite actor, the smarmy Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), Pete delays admitting his feelings to her. And when the scheming Hamilton relocates to their small town to pursue Rosalee in the wake of their initial meeting, a horrified Pete must struggle to win her heart.

Fine.

Angelica.

Yes, Pete?

What is the object of your desire?

We need another round.

One day, Pete, one day,

I know that the answer to that question

will be "You, Angelica."

"You are the object of my desire."

OK. But for now

we'll just go with the beers.

Oh, Pete.

Enough. Thank you, ladies.

You don't like her

the teeniest, tiniest bit?

What? Rosie...

No, she's not my type, OK?

You are so particular.

Who the heck are they?

If that fire alarm went off again...

Why would they send

a news crew for that?

Wait a second.

Right here, please.

In first class you get a DVD player

and may view the film of your choice.

I'd like to touch intimately

whoever thought of that.

We would like to begin

boarding our first-class passengers.

- That's you.

- I know.

Guys. Just take it easy, OK?

Just give me a hug and tell me

to have a good time, please?

OK.

Just be careful, OK?

- What do you mean?

- I mean that this guy is Tad Hamilton.

In his life, he's probably

slept with like women.

No way. That's not even

physically possible.

Besides, like he's going

to be interested in me.

If he claims he doesn't like watching

sports, he's trying to sleep with you.

Got it.

If he claims to love animals,

he's trying to sleep with you.

- OK.

- Guys are guys. Rich or poor.

Famous or grocers.

- Right.

- Just do me one favor, OK?

- Guard your carnal treasure.

- OK.

- Just guard your carnal treasure.

- Thanks, Pete.

- Remember everything.

- I will.

- Remember how he smells.

- I will.

But not just vaguely.

I want good, solid similes.

he smells like a forest

on the first day of spring.

OK, Cathy.

You're going to miss your flight.

- I will bring you similes.

- Thank you.

I almost forgot. I got you something.

lt's regular flavor.

In case you don't like

the prime rib in first class.

Thank you, Pete.

Right this way.

- Just guard your carnal treasure.

- I heard you.

- That's me.

- Welcome to Los Angeles.

e

Oh!

- Can I have these?

- No.

Do you want to think about it?

Gee, what...

Tell me why you're making me

have dinner with an Okie.

Because she's wholesome

as the amber waves of grain.

And she's not an Okie.

She's from West Virginia.

So sorry.

You never wear them.

Can I just have them?

- So what's her name anyway?

- Rosalee Futch.

Sounds insanely hot.

lt's very nice to meet you, Tad.

lt's so nice to meet you, Tad.

lt's great to meet you.

Please, just follow the rules.

"Smile for the cameras.

No brown liquor or cigarettes."

- Fine.

- Very good.

What about Jimmy lng?

Have we heard anything?

No. Still breathing.

I passed Ashton Kutcher in my car

and he seemed happy.

He's happy for other reasons. I´m sorry.

We have not heard from Jimmy lng.

Hey, guys, how's this in the shoulders?

Seriously.

Because I got some yoga stuff.

Your films will stand the test of time.

Your films will stand the test of time.

Hi. I´m Tad.

Your standing films will time

and test themselves.

Thank you. You're pretty.

lt's Roseanne, right?

I´m sorry, what is it?

Ricky?

- lt's Rosalee.

- Rosalee.

Rosalee. Nice to meet you.

- So, you ready? OK, let's...

Yikes-a-bee.

So, how was your flight?

Your films will stand the test of time.

Thank you.

- So, you ready?

- For what?

Right this way.

Rosalee Futch.

lt'll take a few minutes for the spots

in your eyes to go away, but they will.

- OK.

- We're right here.

Is it always like that?

Well, pretty much.

- Shake-a-doo.

- Shake a what?

It just means "Wow."

Shake-a-doo.

Shake-a-doo, I like that.

So...

- You excited?

- Are you kidding?

- This is like a fairy tale.

- Yeah, I figured.

- You OK?

- Yeah.

I'm just not used to sitting

sideways like this.

We don't have sideways seating

in West Virginia.

And I think the cigarette smoke

is kind of...

You can come sit back here if you like.

I can't really move right now.
