Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! Page #6

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.

- Wow, look at that.

- I hear they're very big out your way.

Yeah? Yeah, I guess they are.

I'm driving, so...

Attaboy.

Have a seat.

So, it looks like

Emperor's New Clothes

will top $ mill in domestic BO.

Yeah.

And Quantum Studios, I think

they're looking to vertically integrate,

either by buying a web or a weblet.

Could be.

Yes. Yeah.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- I see you've met Dad.

- Yeah. We've been talking shop.

So what do you want to do tonight?

- Do you guys have a movie theater?

- The Warner.

lt's part of

the Loews family of theaters.

- Have you seen King Arthur of Britain?

- "ve been wanting to.

You two enjoy yourselves.

Have her back by dawn.

And no cocaine.

No, sir.

- How was l?

- You were great, Daddy.

- Good night.

- Bye-bye.

- I´m telling you, that's him.

- Oh, yeah.

- Mom, I swear it's him.

- You think so?

Yes, it's Tad Hamilton.

You look so sad there.

Give me a break.

I'd just lost my wife and my goat.

Next week, on a very special

Paramedic Rescue...

And what were your respective ages?

- I was and she was .

- Did your mother know?

Yeah.

Hasta el proximo miercoles.

Ahora disponsible en viernes

in super mercado.

So, what do people do at this point

in the evening in Fraziers Bottom?

- Well, they go to the diner.

- We could do that.

We haven't eaten anything

in almost, what, minutes.

- Or they go home.

- It is a school night.

Of course, if it were a date,

we might go to the Watergap Overlook.

And what do people do there?

They park.

And then?

And then they marvel at what

a feat of engineering the gap is.

But this isn't a date.

We can't do that.

- No.

- No.

I don't want to do anything

to harm the friendship.

Me neither.

Over two trillion tons of water

pass through the gap every hour.

That's enough water

to float a battleship.

Or put out every fire in West Virginia.

- No kidding.

- Uh-oh.

Excuse me.

Huh.

- Hello.

- Hi, Mr. Futch. lt's Pete.

Hiya, Pete. Rosie's not here.

She's out with Tad Hamilton.

Really? I hadn't...

OK, cool. Good for her, then.

He seems like a very nice guy.

He does. A lovely, lovely guy.

So, like, where did they go?

- The movies.

- The movies. OK.

It looks like the seven o'clock

would get out at . . ...

or so someone happened

to just mention to me in passing.

So I guess that would

put them out and about

and onto their next activity.

I guess it would, Pete.

I'll leave Rosie a note that you called.

Yeah, I just had

a little inventory question.

A little dairy-case query.

But we can clear that up tomorrow.

OK, Pete. Goodbye.

All right.

Rosie...

Could I see

your driver's license and regis...

- Yikes-a-bee.

- Hello, Officer.

- Rosalee?

- Hi, Tom.

Hi. Wow.

- Oh, boy.

- OK, then.

We heard you were in town,

Mr. Hamilton.

- Did you?

- Pretty fond of our Rosalee there, huh?

Yes. Yes, I am, Officer.

- Tom?

- Right, right, listen.

We got a call saying

that there was someone parked here

and you know

it's illegal after sunset, so...

- You got a call at this hour?

- Yeah.

From who, a raccoon?

Never mind.

I am going to kill Pete, bring him

back to life and then kill him again.

Calm down. Calm down.

- Why aren't you upset?

- Because it doesn't matter.

OK?

What happened here tonight

was a force of nature.

Two people set out to be friends,

but nature would have none of it.

Nature wanted them to be more.

And nature is going

to want that tomorrow.

What did I tell you?

What did I tell you about your

carnal treasure?

- You said to guard it.

- I said, guard it.

And what did you do?

You practically chucked it at him.

You're acting like it was a sleazy night.

It wasn't. It was classy.

lt's not like he took you to the movies

and then felt you up in his car.

The evening evolved, Pete.

My God, did he actually say that?

It started as two friends

going to the movies...

- And it evolved into dry humping.

- He fought it.

He didn't want to do anything

that might wreck the friendship.

Wow. Did he actually...
