"See when a girl decides that you're her friend, you're no longer a dating option." "You become a complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like her brother." "Or a lamp." "I don't want to be a lamp." "Yeah." "Well, then don't be her friend, okay?" "Oh." "Take that guy, for example." " You mean that couple?" " No no no." "No, I mean the guy that wishes they were a couple." " What is your point?"

"People love her." "They love her!" "Oh, who loves her?" "MTV just got her a new reality show next year." "We time the CD release with the show, we got a guaranteed hit plus free promotion." " She's recording over..." " I know where she's recording." "Good." "Good." "Make me happy." "Go away." "Wait." "Not you." "Wait!" "You don't make me happy, I'm gonna find somebody else to make me happy." "Loud and clear." "Yeah." "Clear as a bell." " Good." " Okay." "What are you still doing here?" "Go!" "Go get me lobster!"

"Not one taxi, not one." "Stupid town." "I gotta take the bus!" "Dude, bus sucks!" "Yes!" "I am outta here!" "So long, Sucktown!" "Kiss my ass!" "Hey, Mr. Bus Driver Man." "Hey... pull my finger." "Come on, pull my finger." " Aw!" " Yoo-hoo!" " Great." " Jamie!" " Whoa, miss, miss." "W-w-whoa." " What?" "What, what, wha..." " what, Chris?" "What do you want?" " I just want to apologize." "I'm sorry." "I was out of line, okay?" " You're an asshole." " Oh, my..." "I was..." "I'm gonna get you a cab and take you home." " She's so sensitive!" " You blew it." "I'm winning." " You're the Devil." " So go ahead, just go sleep it off." "You'll be right as rain in the morning, brother." "Chris, you're drunk!" "Go home!" "I'm not drunk." "What's this?" ""Simply Dusty"" "Is there any other kind?" "That's adorable." "Do you know what else is adorable?" "You two." "Hey!" "Stop bringing Dusty into your problems, okay?" "Dusty and I are fine." " Dusty and I are friends." " Right!" " Not for too long, I hope." " Yeah..." "Wait, what?" "Slow down." "What did you just say?" "Jamie, listen, I've been meaning to talk to you." "L... about our relationship." "Maybe we could take the next step or something?" "Dusty, can I be honest with you?" " I think you're a really nice guy." " Thank you." "I think you're funny and charming and sweet, and I just don't have those feelings for you." " You're kidding." " No." "Okay, 'cause... cause I wrote you that song and everything, you know, and I worked really hard on it and what kind of girl would you be if you didn't put out for the guy that wrote" "you that song, you know what mean?" "F-this." "I'm mobile." "I'm gonna miss him!" "What?" "Get off me, Chris!" "Why are you here?" "Why do you keep messing with my head?" "I messed with your head for three days." "You've been torturing me since the sixth grade!" "So that's what this is about?" "Because I wouldn't screw you in high school?" "Get over yourself!" "Oh, after years of you being the biggest tease, trust me, I'm so over myself." "Oh, so now I'm the tease." "I practically throw myself at you the other night and you did nothing!" "And now you know how it feels." "I'm outta here." "Yeah, there you go." "Just walk away like you always do!" "Oh, no no no." "I'm-I'm not walking away." "I'm running back to my great life in L.A.!" " Great." "Well, have fun." " Oh, you have fun... being the girl who peaked in high school." "You slap like a cheerleader." "Bye, Chris." "And stay out!" "I've always wanted to say that." "How did you get in here?" "My bodyguard let me in." "I was making cookies." "Oh, I was trying to be all domesticated like that skank you were banging behind my back." "Please leave me alone." "No, sh-sh-sh-sh!" "Hugs and kisses!" "It's all good, baby, it's all good." "By making me jealous on purpose you inspire me to write the best songs, you know, full of angst and hate!" "You like that." "You and I are gonna be the greatest musical manager team since Jessica Simpson and her father... only we get to "mreow" and they can't, 'cause it's illegal." "I looked it up."

" That's not you." " Hmph." "Look." "I'll call..." "Ouch." " Why don't you like me?" " It's a little hard to answer with a taser in my balls!" "This is about Santa's little whore, isn't it?" "Yeah, it's go time." "Hey, hey, hey!" "It's not go time!" "This isn't how it works, Samantha." "You can't force or-or torture someone into liking you." "The big speech." "No!"
