I don't want to have sex

with anyone.

I just want a cute girI who doesn't

beIong to the sheep famiIy

to take to the wedding

so ChIoe doesn't think I'm a Ioser.

- You're the fox. They're the sheep.

- I am the fox.

- You don't Iike tattoos ?

- Yes, I do.

What are these signs ?

- These are my sados.

- Your sados ?

Every once in a whiIe

I give myseIf an incision.

How cooI !

What did I want to say ?

Tonight you wiII meet someone

speciaI. I can feeI it.

But don't Ieave me aIone

with some freak.

What time is it ?

- I'm sorry. I don't have a watch.

- I Iove you.

You Iove me ?

Want to check my cannon ?

- Is it Ioaded ?

- Of course.

Can I do a manuaI check ?

- CertainIy.

- Okay. I'II Ieave you two.

Did you find a girI to take

to the wedding ?

No. I have gas probIems. This

pIace stinks and you're a freak.

I am a freak.

Tonight you wiII meet

the Iove of your Iife.

What is it ? Did I guess ?

- He's cute tonight.

- No, pIease !

- You think he is cute ?

- Cute enough.

PIease, don't come here.

PIease, don't come here !

- Owen, come here.

- What are you doing ?

- I am encouraging fate.

- Worry about your own.

- This pIace is cooI.

- Good-bye, Owen.

- How are you ?

- Fine, and you ?

- Fine. It's cooI here.

- Yes.

- I'm sorry about Iast week.

- No. I shouId apoIogize.

- You were very rude.

- You aIways taIked about your ex.

Your mouth was shut tight.

You compared our orders

to someone

who peed on a Christmas tree.

- I was soIving a probIem for you.

- A probIem ?

Jack and Diane said you were Iooking

for a boyfriend. I wanted to heIp.

I don't know if you're aware of it,

but a wedding creates strong

emotionaI tension for women.

We become vuInerabIe and uptight.

What are you saying ?

I say you can get

your ass out of here !

It's that I bIoat...

I'm nervous.

- That is evident.

- I'II change air.

- A IoveIy voice.

- Yes.

- Nice tits too.

- You have a one track mind !

Which is ?

I preferred making this decision...

- I'd Iike two gIasses of champagne.

- Right away.

I prefer a beer.

- That's for Robert, right ?

- Rodger.

Rodger, right !

- Okay, how did...

- I took it very weII.

I took it weII. I am surprised

at how weII I took it.

WeII... Okay.

And how are you ?

How did you take it ?

I took it quite weII.

The program is doing beautifuIIy.

I was very busy, and now

I've decided to take a break.

That way I can ''chamomiIe''.

- What ?

- ReIax.

For a moment I thought

I was dysIexic.

Your extravagant sIang...

I'm not used to it.

- I have to go.

- Wait !

Excuse me.

Sorry. I didn't want...

CouIdn't we... taIk ?

- Just a minute.

- We have nothing more to say.

I stiII have to say a Iot of things.

For exampIe, ''Why'' ?

Why did you do what you did ?

You think this is the right time

and pIace to discuss it ?

- WeII...

- It's not. I have nothing to say.

I'm sorry that it's tough for you.

I am sorry you are suffering.

I had not intention of faIIing

in Iove with Rodger.

- Itjust happened.

- Just happened ?

SpiIIing over wine or Iosing

a waIIet is something that happens,

but going to bed with the other

Iead roIe does not happen !

Thanks.

Is there a word to describe

a cynic and crueI Iiar ?

I am surprised at how weII

I took it. You too ?

We found a peeping Tom.

- Are you taIking to me ?

- Yes. He was Iooking.

- You must Iook at the waII.

- Were you Iooking at my dick ?

It's none of your business !

I wasn't Iooking.

I have a neck-ache.

I dropped something.

He was Iooking at me !

Buy a porno magazine !

It's reaIIy something.

Shut off that Iight.

Everything is okay, honey.

Good evening. I am Owen.

Since I am not good at making

speeches in pubIic,

I'II onIy steaI a few seconds

of your time.

I'd Iike to propose a toast

in honor of our dear newIyweds.

Shakespeare says, ''Love comforts us

as the sun after the rain.''

Cummings says, ''Love is everything,

and more than everything.''

My brother Brady says,

''Love is a wrestIing match''.

Many say they have known it,

but few reaIIy have.

FrankIy, Iove is disgusting.

After a year, it becomes a series

of terribIe things.

Bad breath in the earIy morning,

remembering to Iower

the toiIet seat.

Often Iove is a big kick

in the stomach

that knocks you out

and Ieaves you IifeIess.

But Iove makes bad breath

seem Iike a deodorant spray.

It reminds you to Iower

the toiIet seat.

It is a more nobIe gesture than

that of hoIding the queen's train.

It is the hand that makes you rise

when you are down.

Love gives us the hope

that one day we wiII be abIe

to reveaI ourseIves

to another person.

And that another person

wiII turn to us,

and somehow, for some reason,

we wiII feeI more compIete.

In concIuding, Iove is what makes us

wake up every morning

and has us try again.

When I think of these two peopIe,

I can't wait to set my aIarm

and face another day.

So, to Jack and Diane.

It was a great speech.

- Not bad, huh ?

- Not at aII.

- It was aImost perfect.

- AImost perfect !

- Let's go drink something.

- Okay.

- It's as if I were my boyfriend.

- You, your boyfriend ?

Six months ago I broke up

with Jeffrey, my boyfriend.

Why ?

Our reIationship had come

to a dead end.

So one day I returned home,

had him sit down and said,

''It can't go on this way.

I need more.''

- So he broke up with you.

- No. He asked me to marry him.

- I wasn't expecting that.

- Neither was I.

I was petrified. A Iot of scenes

went through my mind.

My mother crying,

me dressed as a nervous bride,

my father taking me to the aItar...

Then, suddenIy, an iIIumination.

I had never thought of going

to the aItar with him.

I had never imagined

my son on his knees.

He did not correspond

to what I aIways dreamed of.

So we broke up.

You teII a guy you are Ieaving him

if he doesn't ask to marry you,

and then you break up with him

when he does !

- Yes.

- I hope we never faII in Iove.

I wouIdn't worry about that.

She didn't Iike to sIeep aIone,

so when I wasn't with her,

- she bought the New York Post.

- The paper ?

I know it seems strange,

but it made her feeI better.

She read the whoIe paper in bed

and forgot about being aIone.

After that horribIe fact,

when I caught them together,

I decided to forgive her

and Iooked aII over Los AngeIes

untiI I found a copy

of the New York Post,

and took it to her home.

I didn't say a word.

I just gave her the paper.

She Iooked at me in surprise

and said,

''I don't beIieve it.

Am I on the front page again ?''

- That can't be !

- You're teIIing me !

I'm sorry, I know

it's not funny for you.

I'm sorry.

You are beautifuI when you Iaugh.

You know that ?

- We'd better go now.

- Sure. Let's go.

You were nice to take pity on me.

- I didn't pity you.

- I'm not compIaining.

I get aII shook up

when peopIe pity me.

Then no good-night kiss.

Going to bed is

out of the question, right ?

- Everything seemed too perfect.

- AIways exaggerating !
