His idol was Geraldo Rivera.

Wel l, Veronica, what did you

see in him in the first place?.

He was the first guy

I dated in ages who didn't own a VCR...

shop Brooks Brothers

and drive a BMW.

[ Claire ]

Youjust described Ned.

That's diff.erent.

You and Ned becameuuppies together.

Please, don't tell Ned that.

You know, when I first met Ned...

he had hair down to here

and he was growing marijuana in the closet.

- Ned?.

- Yeah, my Ned.

[ Sighs ]

Whatever happened to Randy?.

Oh, gone.

He got way too serious too fast.

I tell you, the harder they push,

the bigger the flaws.

You and Ned were lucky

to get married so early.

[ Claire ]

I know I was lucku.

- Although sometimes I wish I could just--

- What?.

- [ Giggling ]

- Come here.

- Sometimes I wish I couldjust--

- [ Video Game ]

There, I said it.

[ Laughing ]

Well, who doesn't?.

Who are these men?.

Who are these men?.

- Who are these men?

- [Knife Chops ]

[ Claire ]

Veronica?

[ Video Game ]

You're out ofyour mind.

Number two

is a friend of Claire's.

- [ GolfBall Being Struck ]

- She's a musician.

You can't be serious.

This is exactly the type of place

she can't stand.

These are exactly

the kind of people she hates. Hi.

And you're one ofthem.

No, you can count me out.

This bet's totally absurd.

Well, you should have thought of

thatyesterday. Afraid you'll lose?.

Ned, haveyou considered how

this is going to affect other people's lives?.

- Mulife, for example.

- Won't change that much.

You can come visit us

at the cabin anytime.

$50 a nassau.

Ten forbirdies.

Sandies are greenies.

I feel lucky today.

Well, sign.

Forget it.

Uh, you're chickening out.

Don't push me.

You're reneging on our agreement.

Am I to understand

thatyour handshake means nothing?.

It's time to teach

this guy a lesson.

[ Scoffs ]

Don'tyou wanna know

who Eleanor is?.

Come on. Aren'tyou just

a little bit curious about number three?.

- I am trying to play golfhere.

- She's right over there.

EleanorLarimore.

You're gonna love her.

She's classu.

She's beautiful.

[ Taulor]

She's an alien, right?

No, she's a human. All three women

are humans. I have a heart.

She's married.

[Ned Chuckles ]

- You're not playing fair today, Ned.

- It's a bad marriage.

- It's a bad marriage. Trust me.

- No, no, I don't.

Never have. But that doesn't matter.

I always win anyway.

You did read the fine print, didn'tyou?.

Because I have to admit...

you're being a greatsport

about this.

How will I know

that they accept your proposals?.

Videotapes.

[ Chuckling]

[ Taulor]

We have all this rain up in here.

Then we have this lowpressure--

[ Rewinding]

We have all this rain up in here.

Then, we have this low pressure front,

sweeping down--

We have all this rain

up in here.

Then we have this low pressure front,

sweeping down--

Sweeping down

from the north.

Sweeping down from--

I'm a perfectionist.

Hey, I don't try to be this way.

And it's really rough

on the women I know.

It's like there's

this critic on my shoulder.

Troubleshooter, really.

[ Chuckles ]

Example:

Say she's a cat lover.

All I hear is him screaming,

""Say good-bye to navy blue."

Hey, don't get me wrong.

I don't wanna grow old alone.

I love kids.

I certainly love women.

But I'm no Casanova.

I'm just trying to find a woman

to get past the critic in me.

My housekeeper.

Great cook.

[ Beeping ]

Who knows?. Maybe one of Ned's choices

might be the perfect woman.

Wouldn't it be great

if it was the blonde?.

Good evening, sir.

Hereyou go.

Thanks.

Okay, here we are,

Saturday evening, 7::00.

I've given Erin

a lot ofthought...

but mostly about strategy.

I can't touch her, because

ifl touch her, I'll jump her.

And ifl jump her,

I'll lose her.

Every man wants to jump her,

so I've gotta be different.

- Erin.

- Taylor.

This bet's going to kill me.

Let's getyou

back in your coat.

We're going on a picnic.

Theuflooded the zone, Kosarthrew underneath

the coverage to Newsome...

Shara totally wimped out.

Shara's my main man.

Shara tackles like he's putting

his grandma to bed.

Oh, no! Look, you may be

the Eagles' receptionist--

- Yea!

- But that does not mean you know

a good tackle when you see one.

I not only know one,

I can do one.

[ Laughs ]

Right. Right.

Okay.

Come at me.

Come at me.

No, I believe you.

No, you don't.

Let me have it.

Come on. Come on.

Come at me.

Erin, really,

I don't wanna hurt you.

- [ Yells ]

- [ Grunts ]

a metal detector beforeyou see him.

Honey, Veronica is a talented,

highly respected concert pianist.

She's gonna hate him,

and he's gonna hate her.

- She's not nearlyvapid enough.

- Well, Claire...

as his best friend and as an expert

on the human mind...

I think it's in his best interests

to have an atypical congregation...

with a member

ofthe opposite sex.

- You are pissed at him.

- Yeah.
