ofthe way from teaching you a lesson...

but tonight

I will by lying with the gods.

Erin, I wantyou to know...

ourfirst time, darling...

butyou're not saying, areyou...

that this is your first time?.

- Yes.

- Oh.

Taylor, don't be upset.

I know it's notyour first time.

It's different for men.

Erin, Erin, Erin, you are very special.

You are. You are.

And you waited such a long time.

I want this to be right foryou.

Let's wait. Okay?.

- [ Kisses ]

- Let's wait till after the wedding.

Areyou sure?.

Right now, more than anything,

I wantyou inside me...

to finally know

what it feels like.

Oh, God. I'm sure.

You are so good

at looking at the big picture.

Oh, yeah, I'm looking

at the big picture.

Mm.

What?.

I'm not a monster.

Can I hear the word, please?.

Can I hear that precious word?.

Oh, oh, oh,ues, Taulor.

I will... marryyou.

Take me, Taylor.

Oh, yeah, wild horses

couldn't stop me.

[ Both Moaning ]

Ow! What?.

Ned, Ned. Not only

am I one third ofthe way...

to teaching you a lesson

and winning this bet...

but tonight I will be

lying with the gods.

[ Static ]

I'll buy.

It was my idea.

Forget it. I've been trying to

takeyou out for a month.

- Two please.

- Thankyou.

Thankyou.

Guess it's

the hot ticket in town.

[ Chattering ]

Mmm. This is better than primal therapy.

It's more cathartic.

Care for a drink?.

We have mai tai or tequila sunrise.

- Whoa.

- No, no, what did you really think ofthe movie?.

I thought it was great. I'd love to lie there

until the rightwoman came along.

You don't get it, doyou?.

She leaves everything behind-- her home,

her little friends-- and forwhat?.

For some handsome prince.

The whole ending implies that a woman

needs a man to bring her to life.
