One when she's laughing

out of politeness.

But there's one when she makes plans.

One when she makes fun of herself.

One when she's uncomfortable.

And one when...

One when she's talking

about her friends.

- I don't know those things yet, Pete.

- No, you don't, Tad.

I'm telling you, she is more of...

a treasure than you can possibly know.

She's not just some

wholesome small-town girl,

some good-for-you breath of fresh air.

Tad, she is a wonderful person

with a huge heart.

Yeah.

And the kind of beauty that a guy

only sees once, you know? Once.

Listen, Tad, if there is even a chance

that you could break her heart,

please, just, for her sake...

walk away, man.

I could never break Rosalee's heart. OK?

Good. Because if you do, I swear to God,

I will tear you to pieces

with my bare hands.

Or vicious rhetoric.

You're a good guy, Pete.

But it's apparently not good enough.

- Do you mind if l...

- Yeah, no. My bad.

Finish up in here. I´m sorry.

You're a good kisser.

But I guess it doesn't come

as a shock to you to hear that.

You're a really good kisser.

- Even compared to Hollywood girls?

- Mm-hmm.

That's just ridiculous.

Oh, Tad Hamilton.

Your favorite people are here.

- You got to be kidding me.

- Who is it?

- Guess who?

- lt's my agent and my manager.

Taddy? Tadala.

- This is a nightmare.

- Housekeeping.

Let us in.

- Hey, Tad.

- I'd like to apologize for...

Open zee zleibenshlocken.

Come on.

You're not going to be Punk'd.

- Fellas.

- Tad Edward Hamilton.

- Howdy, little lady.

- Hi.

My manager, Richard Levy

and my agent, Richard Levy.

You're both named Richard Levy?

Who isn't?

You.

- You must be Rosalee.

- Yes.

- Did we come at a bad time?

- I hope so.

Actually, yes.

Well, Tad.

Jimmy lng stopped breathing.

- What?

- You got the part, pal.

Seems he saw something that

reminded him that he had to have you.

- It was the body of your work.

- I knew it.

Your credits.

The reality of you and who you are.

He called me and said,

"Who am I kidding?

"Tad Hamilton has to play this part."

There's nobody else.

Fellas, I have never felt better

than I do at this moment.

Except for that weekend in Cabo.

That is exactly

what I am talking about.

Easy, "ve got a bad back.

That's exactly what I´m talking about.

I told you a little good career news

would put your head back on straight.

- So then you're leaving?

- Yes.

Fittings Monday and rehearsals Tuesday.

You're back on the beam, pally.

Boy, things happen fast.

Oh, my God.

- You're right.

- No, it's fine.

- I´m going to turn it down.

- What?

- What?

- You are?

I came here vowing

to change my priorities

and at the first opportunity

I´m abandoning that.

You're not going to turn down the part.

We both know that.

- Give us a minute, will you, fellas?

- We'll be in the lobby.

I wonder if they have

a masseuse on staff.

- I want you to go with me.

- What?

- What?

- She absolutely cannot go with him.

I won't take the part

unless you come me.

Although we could work something out.

- Really?

- Yes, really.

Rosie, have you been listening

to anything "ve been telling you?

I love you.

How many times in your life

have you said that?

- Not counting the movies?

- Not counting.

I've said it a few times.

But...

But I never knew what it meant.

I can't go with you, Tad.

Because you don't love me.

You maybe want to love me,

but I think what you love right now

is the idea of me.

You can't love someone

for what they stand for or seem to be.

You have to love them for their details,

for the things that are

true of them and only them.

- I do love you for your details, Rosie.

- You don't.

You couldn't possibly.

You don't even know what they are.

- You have six smiles.

- What?

You have six smiles.

Did you know that?

One when something

really makes you laugh.

And one when you're just

laughing out of politeness.

One when you're making plans

and one when

you're making fun of yourself.

One when you're uncomfortable

and one when...

One when you're talking

about your friends.
