Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! Page #9

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.

- How many is that?

- Like .

I told you. I told you.

That is so much better

than any speech from any of your movies.

I had a better writer.

So...

Will you go?

Yes.

He's going back to Cali,

to Cali, to Cali.

- What are you thinking?

- Nothing. I´m done thinking.

If I´m making a huge mistake,

I don't want to know.

You're not making a mistake.

You know, as a bartender

you do learn to kind of recognize

those customers who need to talk.

Angelica, I´m fine.

But could I have, like, six more of these?

No, Pete. You really need to talk.

OK.

I think that our friend Rosie...

might be falling in love

with Tad Hamilton.

Yeah, didn't have to be a bartender

to see that one coming.

Right, but the problem with that is...

that I´m in love with Rosie.

You know, I always thought

that maybe you were.

So how much do you love her?

Is it love, is it big love

or is it great love?

What do you mean?

Love you get over in two months.

Big love, two years.

And great love...

- Yeah?

- Great love changes your life.

Oh, my God.

lt's great love.

lsn't that great?

You got to win her back.

Angelica, trust me,

I have tried everything.

What did she say

when you told her that you love her?

Well, actually,

maybe not everything, but...

What did she say when you kissed her?

OK, maybe it's more like

two things I haven't tried.

Well, what have you tried?

I have very unsubtly

implied how I feel about her.

- OK, get up.

- What?

- Get your ass off the barstool.

- Angelica.

Hey, if you feel it and you don't do

everything in your power to reach for it

you are basically

slapping life in the face.

I hate to break it to you,

but I don't stand a chance here, OK?

As my father told me when I said

I'd never get that job in a bar:

"Honey, your odds go up

when you file an application."

Sure, but I´m up against...

Tad Hamilton.

You are Tad Hamilton.

- What?

- Don't you see?

Everybody's Tad Hamilton

to somebody, Pete.

Rosalee's Tad Hamilton to you.

And you're Tad Hamilton to me.

Angelica, thank you.

So start acting like it.

OK.

Yeah, OK.

You are a really good bartender.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Come in, come in.

I have something to talk to you about.

- Me, too.

- Really? You go first.

- No, you go first.

- No.

- Seriously, you go first.

- OK.

Tad got a part in this huge movie

and he asked me to go with him

to California for the shoot.

We leave tomorrow afternoon.

lsn't that great?

I probably should've gone first.

Why? What were you going to say?

lt's nothing. It was nothing.

Just, you know, travel safely, OK?

And just really enjoy the shoot.

Actually, no, I remember

what I was going to say.

I love you, Rosie.

I always have.

If "ve been a jerk this last week,

it's because I have been fighting.

I have been fighting for you.

I don't want to lose you

to Tad Hamilton or anyone else.

You're the one.

So, any reaction to any of this?

Because now would be an excellent time.

Now? You kiss me now?

You say this to me now,

after years of being my friend?

Yes, to all questions.

I'm...

I have to pack.

You're telling me that you can't answer

the most important question

I'll ever ask in my entire life

because you have to pack?

Not only do I have to pack, but I have

a load of whites in the dryer,

and my dad called my relatives

from San Clemente

and they're expecting me, so..

it's all in the works.

But this is...

Rosie, what's in your heart?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

- You OK, Pete?

- Yes, sir.

Listen, Pete, obviously

we've all been a little seduced

by Tad Hamilton's presence.

No one more so than me.

But that doesn't mean I don't know

who cares about my daughter the most

and who she would be with

if the world were fair.

- Well, it's not.

- No. No, it's not.

When I was your age I was completely

in love with Eleanor Hershey.

Of the chocolate Hersheys?

The Hershey chocolates?
