"She had this winning smile that could take Olympic gold." "Guy:" "I've had a lot of bad days in my life, but today definitely qualifies as the worst." "Things could be worse." "At least Gretchen broke up with you before she made you get your penis pierced." "You see, you're funny ha-ha." "I'm just sort of accidentally funny." " Accidentally funny?" " Yeah." "I'm always doing weird stuff and I don't even know it." "It just happens and thus, I'm accidentally funny." "Sam, nobody's normal all the time." "Look at me." "I just noticed I've had my shirt on inside-out all day." "Yeah, but you know," "I'm not even normal some of the time." "You see, would you look at this?" "Case in point, right?" "I have a fake wallet" "I keep in my pants pocket in case I get mugged." "I keep my real money crumpled up inside my sock." "This is odd." "You know anyone else in the entire world that does this?" " Mm-hmm." " One other." " Who?" " Me." "That's a really good idea." "Great." "Now I'm contagious." "Sam, what made you enroll in art school?" "I sort of determined that all artists are weird, so if I became one, then I'd have an excuse for my chronic strangeness." "You can see now why today is my personal Waterloo." "In less than an hour I've not only found out" "I have no talent, no future, no girlfriend, but now I also have no excuses for my eccentrocities." " What can I do to cheer you up?" " Nothing."

"Then I'm gonna shove them in your mouth and make you eat them." "Sam:" "Laughter really is one of the smile orgasms." "Let me tell you Hope and I had laughter that was multiple, simultaneous, wet." " Hope:" "My number 555..." " Okay." " 6344." " 6344." " Okay great..." " Oh and..." "Don't forget this..." " Hey, yeah." " Your smile." "And thank you for giving it back to me." "Yeah." "(horn beeping, thunderclap)" " That's my ride." " Okay." " Call me." " Yeah, I will." "Sam:" "I had to find Hope." "So I took a job as a delivery guy." "Here's your order." "Sam:" "Hope probably would have called me a cuisine courier." "Here's your..." "Sam:" "It's lame, I know, but at least the job allowed me to search for Hope on every corner..." " Taxi!" " And every building on every run I made throughout the city." "Oh my God." "I'm so sorry." "I'm gonna pull out, I mean, back out." "Woman:" "Women, please follow me this way."

" Hello, Sam." "Oh my God." "I've been looking for you everywhere." "You have no idea, I am so sorry I never called you, because you wrote your number down on my palm and it was pouring rain that night" " and it just washed off..." " It's okay." "How are you?" "You look like someone dropped an ACME safe on your head." " I'm fine." " Yeah." "Me too, I'm fine too." "Well, this is awkward." "Times like this I think about dogs." "Dogs?" "Yeah." "I like the way they lick your face and let you pet them all over when you first meet them." "It's just it would be nice if women could immediately let you know you're liked the way that a dog lets you know." "Really nice icebreaker." "Maybe." " Your chicken fajitas." " Oh, thanks." "You remembered the extra salsa." "I think all I have is a 50." "That's okay." "I think I can break that." "You got me making a habit out of this." "Are you sure you're all right?" "Never better." "'Cause you don't look never better." "You're wrong, I'm fine." "I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken and I'm not wrong here." "Come on, what's the matter?" "Nothing that a nice high ledge with a view couldn't take care of." "Goodbye, Sam." " Hey." "Where's Holden?" " He's in back." "I wanna bottle up your sweat, baby." "Oh you got such a tight, tight ass." "What's that?" "Squeeze it harder, huh?" "Yeah." "What the hell are you doing?" "Hey, man." "What's going on?" "I was... rearranging my collection." "It was totally inefficient." "I had "Double Penetration" filed under "Double Dildo."" "I don't care about your Smithsonian of smut." "Why was your hand on your ass?" "Sometimes I gotta get a little kinky to... jack up the old winky." "If I stare at this centerfold and concentrate real hard while grabbing my own butt it feels like I'm feeling up Ms. September's ass." "Uncle Bart would be really pissed if he came in here and caught you flicking the Grinch." "Whoa." "I haven't seen you this cranky since camp when I gave you that Montezuma swirly." "Come on." " Spill your guts." " No, I can't." "Why?" "Why can't you tell me what's going on?" "Holden, how can I talk to you?" "You're one of those guys who has a tray that makes boob-shaped Jell-O." "You once bought one of those man-girls with the underwear to lift and separate your butt." "You've got arthritis from jerking off too many times." "I did not get arthritis." "It's carpal-tunnel syndrome." "Hey, Holden." "These gelatin boobs are fantastic." "Yeah, they're sensitive, aren't they?" "You're so tense." "What you need is a date with my two-dimensional lady friend here." "She not only pulls out... but she puts out." "What do you think, Sam?" "It's the mass of the ass directly proportional to the beauty of the cutie." "What?" "See, that is the spirit." "When you're down in the dumper you just gotta laugh it off." "You know what?" "That's actually a good idea." "How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb?" "A fish." "Look at this article." "It explains how feel-good endorphins can make you smile." "Conversely, it says if you force a smile on your face you can trick your body into releasing these same feel-good endorphins, which then make you happy." "Did you know that if you change the "I's" in Mississippi to "O's" you get Mossossoppo." "Come on, are those endorphins pumping'?" "Come on, that's great." "Look at that face." " Come on, look at that..." " Stop, Sam." "I appreciate the effort and your comedy act." "It's a great success." "It's your audience that's a total failure." "I gotta get some new material." "Whoa!" "Oh my God." "I think I broke it." "I think "busted it" is a more appropriate phrase." "Does it hurt?" "No, you didn't pop my boob, you just poked a hole in my Aqua bra." "Hey, I'm "Flat Chested," I mean I'm Annie." "Hi, I'm Sam." "What's an Aqua bra?" "It's a brazier that supplements the figure with water implants." "See?" "Thar she blows!" "God." "Okay, okay." "It's a tickle," "I gotta remember to tell my friend Hope about this." " Oh, Hope on the top floor?" " Yeah." "She doesn't think anything's funny." "What gave her such a mood dunk?" "Is she always like this?" "No, when I first met her she was pretty happy..." " I'll catch you later." " Okay." "One day Hope came home and something happened." "I haven't seen her out of her room since, but I work really weird hours at the hospital so maybe some of the other girls have seen her around." " It was nice meeting you." " Yeah, you too." "Do you know Hope in 6D?" "My acting coach told me not to talk to anyone while I'm doing my exercises." "Hey, Excuse me, miss, do you know...?" "What did he instruct you to do, act like a coffee-table?" "No." "I'm the wind blowing in the desert." "(radio announcer)" "Hello?" "Delivery." "Door's open." "Wow, what a great place you got here." "I just delivered to that girl Hope up in 6D." "Man her place was a wreck." "Do you know her?" "Hi." "I'm Sam." "I'm your coffee delivery guy." "I said, do you know Hope in 6D?" "Hey, I'm speaking to you, Tanya." "Can you hear me say this?" "You look like a man-eating Amazon Princess donning her warpaint in preparation for battle in the corporate jungle." "Delivery boy, could you bring me my espresso?" "Oh!" "I take it that's an order from Tanya, Amazon Princess." "Your Majesty commands me to bow down before her and fetch her coffee." "Well, I refuse." "I won't be your slave no matter what you throw at me." "I'm not turned on by your executrix, power suit, your war armor." "Your miniskirt loincloth displays a powerful weapon... your thighs, which make me cower with lust." "And your brazier is like a protective breastplate you can tear away to unsheathe your most powerful weapon, your hypnotic breasts." "Here's your coffee." "Oh and by the way," "I'm not the Amazon Princess," "I'm the Amazon Queen." "What are all these balloons for?" "Some kid's birthday party." "How's the probe going?" "Probe?" "Oh, the investigation." "It's terrible." "Some of these girls can be really mean." "There's this one girl Tanya, she treats me like a total peon." "Pee on?" "I didn't know you were into watersports." "No, not like that." "God, Holden." "Do you ever think about anything other than sex?" "I say forget about Hope and move on to someone who's more probe-able." "No, it's not gonna happen." "I'm not giving up on her." "Come on, man, wake up and smell the pussy." "You are totally in love with her." "You think that if you find her smile she'll end up falling in love with you like some fairy tale." "But more likely she'll end up screwing you over and you'll end up taking it in the tail." "Okay, all right." "You know, I do love her but I'm also her friend." "Something terrible happened to her in that building." "I'm gonna find out what that was and maybe I can make things right again." "Easy on those balloons, you don't want to disappoint the birthday... boy." "Wait a minute." "Today is your birthday." "Now that... is what I call a blow job." "Check this out." "Oo-ooh." "Kaboom Monthly?" "The definitive guide for popping a boner." "Hey, when you're done, can I look at that?" "No!" "Hello?" "Delivery." "Got a delivery here." "Stop trying to find out what happened to Hope." "Hey!" "Who are you?" "Come back here!" "I need to speak to you!" "Please!" "Oh no, where did you go?" "Why don't you want me to find out what's wrong with Hope?" "Where are you?" "Not so fast." "They say that toenails are the teeth of the foot." "If that's true I'd say you have a nice set of fangs." "Think you're funny?" "Pretty cheese ball if you ask me." "The same thing could be said about your record-setting toe jam." "Hey, you're that delivery boy for that place Bart's on the other side of the park, aren't you?" "Why thank you, Captain Obvious." "That's not my name." "It's Willens." "And I manage this place." "And I don't like you snooping around." "If I see you around here again," "I'm gonna make sure I call..." "You almost hit me with that." "How'd you like it if I loaded one up?" "Go ahead, make my day." "You gotta be joking." "Hey, I was just clearing my nasal passages." "You were the one making a thing of it." "All right." "All right." "Don't go doing anything rash." "Take your fingers off the nostril." "You first." "Same time." "(Willens laughing)" "Ah-hh!" "Eat it, Willens." "Go ahead, pull the trigger." " Pull on this." " Get lost, Hoss." "At this point the only thing I'd figured out is why "detective" is sometimes called a dick, 'cause that's exactly what I had found out." "As a sleuth investigating the mystery of Hope," "I had to find a new strategy." "Hey, Sam." "Your rent is due." "#..." "I was thinking it would be so exciting #" "# There's so much that we could do... #" "Hey, Hope!" "Look at this!" "Hope!" "Hey, Hope!" "Come to the window!" "Look at this!" "#..." "The other day #" "# He keeps on calling but I met another boy instead #" "# By the way... #" "Hey, come on, Hope!" "Look at this!" "This is funny!" "# I was thinking it would be so exciting #" "# And there's so much that we could do #" "# I wanna get with you... #" "Hi." "Okay, look," "I have to ask you something and you have to promise not to laugh." "Promise." "Ever since I met you I always wanted to take you to dinner and the movies." "Okay." " Just this once." " Yeah." " Give me a sec, okay?" " Sure." "So, do you think that Hope is cute?" "Oh, yeah, she is such a fox." "I think so too." "Get your hands off of her" " (door opening)" " Shh." "Come on in." "I love what you've done to the place." "It's got a sort of post-modern- Miss Havisham look to it." "Don't mind the mess." "It's okay." "Here you go." "So, I hear you used to be a model." "If we're gonna talk about me you're gonna have to leave." "Sorry." "It's just the other day when you found me" "I sort of feel like... like you saved me." "And I just wanted to say thank you." "I was gonna make some coffee, do you want any?" "Yeah, sure." "So you know, like I said the other day when I saw you..." "You know what, actually you don't owe me anything." "You know, it's..." "I know I don't owe you anything." "I'm just trying to be your friend." "Do you want any cream or sugar?" "I'll get some sugar." "I mean I'm just trying to be your friend." "That's what friends do, right?" "They help each other out." " I'm gonna ask you to leave." " What?" "I shouldn't have done this and..." "I just said I was trying to be your friend." "I'm gonna give you money for the meal." " No, no, the meals on me." " Will you please?" "Yes Sam, please, will you just go?" " Will you take the money?" " I'm not gonna take money." " Please." " No, forget it." "I'm not gonna..." " Just take the money..." " No, no." "The meal... no, no." "The meal's on me." "Please, will you at least go Dutch with me?" "Okay." "That must be so difficult." "Ah-hh!" "It's me, Sam, it's Annie." "I just couldn't hear over the wash machines." "I forgot I had that thing on." "It's a facial massager." "It's supposed to tighten the muscles in my face" " so that I look thinner." " Of course it is." "I think this piece goes there and this piece goes here." "You're still missing some pieces." "Why don't you draw in the missing parts?" "You went to the Art Institute, right?" "I never finished." "I was so bad, they made me turn in my beret." "Now the Royal Academy of Velvet Painters won't accept me." "Can't even get my my work shown in the Contemporary" " Museum of Stick Figure Art." " Who cares?" "The curators of that museum have sticks up their butt." "Velvet painting died with Elvis." "Berets?" "They're not even real hats." "I've always thought that." "It's got no brim." " Doesn't cover your ears." " Nope." "It's not a hat." "It's a goddamn cap." "That's what it is." "Why do you have a pen attached to your hip?" "Because I am the fastest draw in the West." "Really?" "I had a bit of a mishap at my prom." "I don't put pens in my pockets anymore." "It's a bit of a long story." "You ever think about how far an artist's hand has traveled?" "Look at yourself sketching." "Your fingers are in constant motion." "Every time you shade, the pen moves a couple of inches a second, that's gotta add up." "This hand has traveled long distances, especially in the shower." "Seriously." "Do you know what my favorite part of being an artist is?" "It's the most honest profession in the world." "How's that?" "You can pretty much fake being good at any other profession but as an artist either your drawing is good or it's bad." "An artist just has to lay everything on the line." "Yeah, literally." "Wait a second." "I've seen this somewhere before." "Gretchen:" "Here's the album you wanted to borrow." "Took me a really long time to find it." "I never listen to them anymore." "Welcome." ""How to see your ex-girlfriend and live to tell about it..."" "that is the subject of today's class." "You didn't have to concoct some story about wanting to borrow some music just to have an excuse to see me." "First, the guy must act nice to prove that he can handle the break up maturely." "No, I really wanted to borrow the album." "But it is great to see you." "You finally got your forehead pierced." "Looks good." "Being nice only makes the ex think he wants to get back together." "She, with undisguised pleasure, reminds him that she is the dumper and he is the dumpee." "I'm flattered you called, but I broke up with you." "This doesn't mean that I want to hook up with you again." "This unwarranted rejection hurts like a kick to the shins." "Really, Sam." "Ah-hh!" "The second punishment sneaks up on you like a snake." "Ss-sss!" "Now." "Go." "Gretchen:" "I'm hot, I'm thirsty." "I'm hot, I'm thirsty!" "Whatever happened to those "Size 14" guys?" "They cut one album, then disappeared." "The evil she-dumper tortures the poor dumpee with flirtations he tries to avoid." "Did you tongue finally heal up?" " Oh yeah, it's never better." " Really?" "It was pretty good before." "The she-dumper is a big prick-tease." "Does the scar tickle the roof of your mouth?" "Yeah, it does." "You should feel it." "When the dumped chump flirts back she stops flirting..." "Sam, I told you, we are definitely over." "...giving him a bad case of blue balls." "I think I should be a lawyer." "But then again, I want to be a vet." "The final torment is the worst." "What're we talking about?" "I can't do any of those things," " I suck." " No, you're really smart." "You can do anything you set your mind to." "By the way, where am I taking you?" "We're going to meet Carl." "I want you to be nice to him." "He's my new boyfriend." "Whoa!" "It's a ball buster." "Sam, this is Carl." " Hi." " Hi." "Sam:" "This album cover, how did ripping it up connect to what was ripping up Hope's heart?" "I played this album until my ears bled." "I hope the lyrics might provide some insight to me or to anyone else who listened to it." "# I touched her ass... #" "Man:" "Hey, butthead, turn down that music." "Please, listen." "Thanks for listening." "By the way what are you today?" "A Vietnam War Memorial." "Do you like music?" "Whatcha doing back there?" "Getting' ready to battle in the corporate jungle?" "Is that your warpaint?" "God." "Why do I even try with her?" "Do you mind if I call China?" "Hey, why do you have your pager number on speed dial?" "Oh my God." "What are you doing?" "Nothing." "I was just trying to make conversation." "How come you won't give me the time of day?" "Just give me my coffee." "No." "Not until you give me some answers." " Give it to me." " No." "Give me some straight answers or the espresso gets it." "I got a lot on my mind today and I don't have time to be dealing with somebody like you." "With someone like me?" "What, are you saying I'm a lowly delivery guy?" "I don't get it." "You women have always been treated like crap by your boys club bosses and now that you career girls have finally clawed your way to the top, why do you treat people below you the same way?" "Maybe I wouldn't have to act like such a bitch on wheels if you guys weren't so angry that I made more money than you." "Now give it to me." "Pretty cranky in the morning without your caffeine fix." "You know what makes me angry with women sometimes?" "I am a gentleman." "I always open doors for women, but when a woman is in front of me at an entrance nine times out of 10 she doesn't hold the door open for me." "You want men to treat you as equals but you won't give" " equal treatment to men." " What do you want?" "Respect." "A "Hello." A "How are you?" with feeling would be great for starters." "Okay, how about a "Goodbye" and "To hell with you"?" "Ah-hh!" "Stay." "Five bucks an hour." "The plumber can blow me." "Woman:" "Stop trying to find out what happened to Hope." "See, all I have to do is find the girl who has this scar on her behind..." "And boom!" "You can crack the case."

"And every day we face the endless nightmare, love handle by love handle." "Nose hair by nose hair, we are becoming more grotesque versions of the cute boys we once were." "It is impossible to stop the hoards of time from destroying our muscle tone and leave us with these defeated, saggy male boobies." "But I am at peace." "I have come to grips with the horror that has become me." "So how does "Moist  Midget" magazine improve your image?" "Because men are gross on the inside too." "That's why these magazines sell." "A woman's pussy mound is a slippery slope." "Sex is a narcotic, and you my friend, are addicted just like me." "Only you're at the smoking marijuana stage." "I'm at the heroine stage." "More like the speed-balling stage." "Good one." "Now my point is an addict needs a bigger and bigger fix each time just to get the same high." "That's why they move on to the hard stuff." "Sex is the same way." "You gotta get something kinkier and kinkier just to get the same thrill in your drill." "Okay, so hence, "America's Hairiest" magazine?" "I don't know if "America's Hairiest"" "is gonna give me donkey dick." "But I'm a stoner for a boner and these magazines are somebody's fix." "They might get my pecker high, they might not."

"It'll keep you from the hard stuff for awhile, sooner or later you will roll off your old lady, just like an addict falls off the wagon." "Accept it, Sam." "You and I are alike." "Your weirdness is one step away from my grossness." "You enrolled in art school so you could see naked women." "That is no different than me looking at dirty pictures." "It's completely different." "One is art and the other is pornography." "Yes, but once you start down that dark path forever will it dominatrix your destiny." "Join me." "I'll never join you." "It's in your blood, Sam." "I am your cousin." "No-oo!" "Now Holden and I did have some of the same DNA, and this meant that I could have the same genetic inclination as him towards becoming the Grand Poobah of Perversion."

" You know what I can't stand?" " Kids:" "Trick or treat." "People who aren't who they say they are." "Like, take for instance, wise old Mahatma Gandhi." "Did you know that in a speech advocating non-violent protest, he once said that Mussolini wasn't a bad man?" "I had the same feeling when I saw a comic book about the Pope." "What does the Pope need a comic book for?" "Yeah and who are the idiots that want to read" " a comic book on the Pope?" " Yeah, exactly." "Like," ""What do I want, Batman or the Pope?"" "Like the Popemobile is as cool as the Batmobile." "I'm gonna get some more candy." "Don't get me wrong or anything," "I'm not a Bible basher." "I'm an equal opportunity curmudgeon."

"I think he's the peckerhead who broke Hope's heart." "This party was the perfect place for us to get the girls to give us the skinny on him." "Gotcha." "Let's probe." "My friend Richard Blaine used to do an acting exercise exactly like that." "This isn't an exercise." "This is how I dance." "Do you know a guy named Richard Blaine?" "Carl!" "Has anyone ever told you, you got a rack that should be bronzed?" "Beat it." "My friend Richard Blaine loves puzzles like this." "Do you know him?" " Did you get it done?" " Yeah." "Hey, hey wait!" "How do you get out of this thing?" "Whatcha doing?" "Finger fucking?" "No." "It's a Chinese finger puzzle." "The harder I pull, the more stuck I become." "That happened to me once, except it wasn't in a puzzle, it was in an Asian chick." "What was her name?" "Chew Me Wang." "This thing has got me thinking," "Hope is a lot like this puzzle." "The harder I try, the further I get away from solving it." "If you want to find out what happened to Hope do exactly as I say and keep absolutely quiet." "Now wait here." "If you want to have the greatest sex of your life do exactly as I say" "Oo-ooh!" "Kinky." "You know what gets me hot?" "Doing it in complete silence." "Shh!" "What are you doing?" "Sam?" "Holden?" "I told you to stop trying to find out what happened to Hope, but you wouldn't listen." "You know that Chinese finger puzzle?" "Yeah?" "It doesn't just work on fingers." "Both:" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah-hh!" "Oh God!" "Holden, lower your puppy." "Lower your puppy." "Hey, it's the wiseguy." "This way." "Come on, this way." "This way." "Now cough." "Oh man, my heart's beating so fast" "I can't reduce the blood flow." "You guys have been in the bathroom a long time." "What's the hold up?" " How you doing, Holden?" " No luck, I need inspiration." "I need impotence inspiring imagery." "What is this?" "Check out this fat chick." "She is a real Bahama Mama." "She is fatty, fatty, fat, fat." " Oh, I think it's working." " Is it?" " Yes..." " Really?" "It is." "Nothing like something saggy to make you go soggy." "Here, try it." "It's you, isn't it?" "What do you say I take you out for a cup of coffee?" "No." "I can't, my mascara's all smeared." "And I smeared my eyebrow tint." "It's okay." "It's okay, you can wipe it off." "I can't, I just spilled the remover." "I'm a freak." "Come on, Annie." "Let me take you out." "See?" "We can be freaks together." "People back then used to call me Gargantu-Ann." "Now I'm what they'd call nothing special, nothing scary." "I think you're very cute." "Thanks." "Let me see." "It's pretty good." "When I was a little kid they used to say that I look like one of those strange Dr. Seuss creatures and called me "Sam I am"" "from "Green Eggs and Ham."" "And when they teased me, you know what I used to do to cheer myself up?" ""I like to eat them when they're hot," "I'd also eat them mixed with snot."" ""I'll eat them in the morning dew," "I'll eat them till I have to spew."" ""I like to eat green eggs and ham,"" "Both:" ""Yes I do, Sam I am."" "Good night, "Sam I am."" "Good night, Annie." "(woman moaning)" "Tanya, are you okay?" "(moaning, buzzing)" "Woman:" "Tanya, are you home?" "It's Peggy, open up." "Tanya!" "Where have you been?" "I've been calling." " My phone's off the hook." " This is your big break." " What are you talking about?" " There's a breaking story on Spring St. And Charles says it runs." " Now?" " They want you on camera." " Oh my God!" " Now!" "I'm serious man, her pager is her vibrator." "I always wondered why she set her pager on speed dial." "It's that new speed dial-aid service." "(both laughing)" "Come here." "We gotta stop laughing." "I'm still recovering from that Chinese puzzle." "Hurts, doesn't it?" ""Hi, we're at Loyola High School with Mr. Delgado..."" "Do you know her pager number?" "I think it was like, 555-0068 or something." "Why?" "I'm testing out your theory." "No, Holden, don't." "Give me that." "You know what your problem is?" "You're pussy-whipped and you're not even getting any pussy." "This Tanya is treating you like scum and you stand up for her because she makes your pecker stand up." "Now give me the phone!" "Give me that!" "Go screw yourself!" "Precisely." "That is the only way to stop a woman from using your dick as a stick shift and driving you around town on a full tank of your hormones." "Take it from me." "I cannot tell you the number of times a girl's got me to fix her car or paint her house or take her husband to the airport." "Or go to the damn Farmer's Market and sit through the pain-in-the-ass opera." "Shut up, Jason." "Shut up!" "No, Jason's right." "He's a meathead, but he's right." "Listen, Sam." "I did all kinds of these things because a guy's backed-up balls are the biggest reservoir of hope this world has ever seen." "Trying to get laid by fixing a fan belt is your fault, Holden, yours!" "Oh, Samuel, you are so full of man gravy." "Now listen!" "You need to be more like me and take matters into your own hands." "Why do you think they call it masturbate?" "Because it allows you to be the master of your own fate." "And it's not just a physical release, it is the release of women's control over you." "Jason." "(Holden whistling)" "You don't need them, they can't manipulate you." "I'm doing this for your own good." "Today is your Independence Day." ""...that after watching this amazing story... (buzzing) That if anyone deserves a... um-mm..." "a um... a miracle can happen..." "Holden, you're such a... a dick!" "And so are you." "Sam:" "After standing up for Tanya," "I decided I should stand up for myself, especially with the evil she-dumper Gretchen." "You know what, Gretchen?" "It just occurred to me," " you're just like this bike." " I'm cold, I'm thirsty." "I'm cold, I'm thirsty." "I'm cold, I'm thirsty..." "You're so directionless." "I don't know what I want to do." "On one hand" "I could be a graphic designer, or I could be a singer." "Or I could be a doctor, or I could be a pet detective." " Or I could be..." " And I'm always pumping up your ego, like, "You're very creative..."" " I'm creative?" " "You're very smart..."" " I'm smart?" " "You're very sexy."" "I'm sexy?" "I am sexy." "You're really high maintenance." " Come on, let's go." " But Carl's the other way." " But I gotta go now." " You wouldn't even have this bike if I hadn't given you mine." "You know what?" "It's your bike and you can keep it because it's a real piece of work." "All right." "I'll give it to Carl." "I don't need you to ride my bike." "What happened to the brakes?" "Sam, help!" "Sugar with the coffee, right?" "Yeah, please." "You know what I saw on the shopping channel the other day?" "No." "They're selling action figures of the Pope." "Really?" "What are you doing with my box?" "Thought we could play checkers." "So what do you do when there's something you really want but you know you can never have it?" "You become a delivery guy for your uncle." "I mean, becoming an artist, is that what you always wanted to do?" "Yeah." "So then why did you quit?" "Because a favorite teacher told me I couldn't draw." "People are wrong all the time." "Why don't you draw me?" "Forget it." "I used to pose for art classes all the time." "I could never do you justice." "If you draw me, I'll show you my etchings." "I'm sure your etchings are a masterpiece." "Really need to see the crosshatching to appreciate it." " Let's see." " No." "It's terrible." "Come on." "Let me see." "I let you see." "That's not terrible." "Where do you think it's bad?" "Look at the spatial relationships." "They're too exaggerated." "Barely looks like you." "I made you funny looking." "It's like a five-year-old did this." "I was just watching a special on Picasso." "You know what he said about his own drawings?" "That he strived to draw like a child." "Because he said that a child's drawings aren't affected by rules and they are extremely expressive." "They truthfully show what's inside the child." "But I wasn't striving to draw like a child." "It just happened by mistake." "Maybe our mistakes are really our style." "Maybe we make mistakes because deep down we really want to make them." "Tanya:" "I lost my job thanks to you." "I didn't make those calls." "It was my cousin, Holden." "His dad owns this place." "It's true, I tried to stop him." "You're lying." "No, Holden and me got into a big fight about it." " Oh, yeah, right." " Just because I'm a guy doesn't mean I'm out to screw you." " Why do you hate men so much?" " Women are superior to men." " Like how?" " Like you can't have babies." "Like you can't open jars of peanut butter." "Women mature faster." "Men are faster at getting out of the bathroom." "All serial killers are men." "Almost all cereal box mascots are men." "Women can have multiple orgasms." " We don't have to fake them." " Women live longer." "It's the only way we can get away from you." "You can't take anything seriously." "You can't take a joke." "I don't need a man for a thing." "You can just set your beeper on vibrate." "Okay!" "So, put your hands up, hairball!" "That is real good, pretty lady." "That's... okay, here it is." "Here's the deal." "Hey!" "I said put your hands up!" "I don't want any funny business." "There are 20,000 comedians out of work and I don't need you to act funny like a bump on a log." "Let me tell you what this is all about." "Every day I come in here and say, "Hey, pal." "Can you spare a cup of coffee, cream, a little sugar... a little sugar?" And every day..." "every damn day you give me rag time." "Well guess what?" "Today you're on the rag." "You understand what I'm saying?" "It's your turn." "So I want you to open that cash register, take out all of the cash and while you're at it, let's see... give me a pack of smokes, ultra light 100s, a package of breath mints" "and that wet lubricant stuff." "I'm gonna party tonight." "I am." "And you know what?" "I'm gonna party on your dime." "Do you know what it's like to party on your dime?" " It's sort of like dancing..." " (Tanya moaning)" "You don't want to get me pissed off." "(moaning louder) ...if you do not open that cash register drawer" " and give me..." "(alarm rings)" "Oh God." "I thought you said you didn't need a man for anything." "Oh, please." "You couldn't have done that without me." "(banging on door) Hope!" "Come on, Hope." "Open up." " Sam." " They're evicting you." "That's what happens when you don't go to work, get a paycheck and pay your rent." "Would you please just leave?" "No, I'm not leaving until I get some answers." "You're not helping." "At least tell me when this is gonna be over." "I don't know." "I keep looking for proof." "Proof of what?" "Sam, you've been really sweet." "I think it's best we say goodbye now." "Hey." "I'm not gonna leave." "I'll stay out here forever if I have to." "I heard you and Hope before." "I baked you this." "It's chocolate, my favorite." "Naw." "No thanks." "It'll make you feel better." "Every time I was sad, I had one of these." "Does it work?" "It worked for me 100s of times." "You should keep it then, you know?" "Hello, my name is Annie, I'm a choc-aholic." "I've been cocoa-free for one year, three months and six days." "I have a bite of this and I'm an addict again." "I'm sorry, I forgot." "Here, let me give it a taste." "That's good." "Did you know that chocolate has the same chemical in it that your body produces when you're in love?" " Is that true?" " I don't know for sure." "I've... never been in love before, but that's what they say." " You have nice legs." " No." "Please, stop looking at them." "Let me see your butt." "No, I don't want you to see my legs," "I'm certainly not gonna let you see my butt." "It occurred to me that I never checked out your butt" " to see if it has the scar..." " No, I don't have a scar." "Let me see the butt." "It's not a big deal." "Just stop it!" "Don't worry, Annie, no one has to look at your behind." "You can just let big strong handsome guy like me get in touch with Ms. Sweet Cheeks" "That's not fair, Mr. Hand gets to have all the fun." "That's not true, Senior Chin." "Johnnie One Eye gets to have all the fun." "Correction, Sir Belly," "Johnnie One Eye is locked up tight." "He never gets to see the light of day." "You can't keep me in here forever." "I will rise again." "Oh, Johnnie, I hate it when we're apart." "You're in a Shakespeare of Body Part Theater." "Well..." "If this is the theater, then I think you're missing something." "A woman so beautiful... needs a diamond necklace for when she goes to a show." "You like that?" "If you're my date then you... are a little bit underdressed, I think."

"I kinda figured we were together." "We are together." "I'm so happy right now." "Why are you still trying to find out what's wrong with Hope?" "Because she's my friend." "Don't go down there." "Hey, look, nothing's wrong, okay?" " It's okay." " Please, Sam." "Why?" "Are you jealous?" "I don't know." "I'm new at this." "I told you it's the first time I've had a real boyfriend." "Just makes me feel funny." "It's okay." " Just do one thing for me." " What?" "Just stop trying to help Hope." "No, I can't." "I'm sorry." "She's my friend." "I'm not going to abandon her."

"You know how... how drug addicts do so many drugs they can't get high anymore?" "That's what happened to me." "I have overdosed on hard core and now I can't get a hard on." "Sam:" "While Holden was telling me about his important problem that's when I heard it." "Announcer: "What was Humphrey Bogart's character's name in the classic film 'Casablanca'?""

"I now had a hunch." "I just needed to test it." "Mr. Willens, please let me by this one last time." "You take one more step forward, you're gonna find yourself in chunks, in my stool." "And no one's gonna care." "I'm just protecting the girls from the likes of you." "You're the one they need protection from." "Who's gonna believe you?" "They will when they find out that you're the grossest man alive." "The second grossest." "Let my friend go." "How are you gonna make me do that?" "Oh gee, now I'm..." "Come on, girls!" "Hello, ladies." "So that's my story." "And I can tell by the looks on your faces there's gonna be only one way I'll convince you to let me go." "Will you let me show you?" "See, this is irrefutable proof that men are gross." "The way I should be more precise, men without women are absolutely gross." "I did all of this, everything for a woman." "Men need you." "Men need women to save us from ourselves." "All right, let him go." "I brought you down, you circus freak." "So you're the one who paged me, huh?" " How did you find out?" " Sam." "He told me you guys had a falling out over it." "Yeah." "Well, he was right." "Men are gross." "And I'm the perfect example." "He forgot to mention one thing." "That men can also be heroic." "I think it's a noble thing that you did coming to his rescue." "Why did you do it?" "I didn't want him to end up like me." "Hey." "Hi, I wanted to make sure after the other night that we're still good, we're still friends." "Of course." "How did you know?" "All the clues, they were red herrings." "What's going on?" "Please don't be mad." "I don't even know where to start." "Why don't you start by telling me if you've really been sad for all these months." "Yes." "The whole time." "Will you please sit?" "I lost someone close to me." "Jesse." "He was my best friend in the whole world ever since I can remember." "We'll need some hair on it." "Six months ago everything changed." "Jesse." " What?" " What are you doing?" "(mumbling) I'm just tired of being friends." "You know?" "I wanna be your boyfriend." "Haven't you ever thought of me that way before?" "Not really." "You've always been a true friend." "Someone that I can trust." "Like a brother." "You've always been this guy that has never failed to make me smile." "That's so nice, but I want more than this." "Okay?" "If I wanted a friend I'd go hang out with the guys." "Men don't want female friends." "All men want are girlfriends." "So why don't we just kiss and see if there's any sparks between us, okay?" "Jesse." "Jesse, please don't." "I don't get this." "Last week I see you make out with some guy in the rain after knowing him for an hour, but you won't kiss me?" "I've known you all my life." "Let's just kiss and see how it feels." " All right, let's just kiss..." " No, Jesse, no." " Jesse, please..." " Just give me..." "Stop!" "Get off!" "You owe me this, Hope, okay?" " Give me a fucking kiss." " Get off!" "Stop it!" "Just shut up!" "Give me a kiss." "Stop it!" "Get off!" "Get off me!" "Fucking..." "Hope:" "That's when I came to believe that I could never trust a man's friendship because a man was only doing it because he wanted more." "And if I couldn't trust a man as a friend, how could I ever trust a man as a lover?" "Then I met you again." "Hope!" "Hello, Sam." "Hope:" "I told Annie about everything 'cause she and I had become really close." "He's at it again." "If Sam could prove that he was your true friend would you let him be your true love?" "And what is Santa Claus bringing you for Christmas?" "Couldn't hurt to see how far he'll go." "Ever since I met you I wanted to take you to dinner and the movies." "He's out there." "What do I do?" "He just wants to know why you're so sad." "Let's give him some clues." "An album cover?" "That's not a clue." "But Sam doesn't know that." "We should just stop." "I'm gonna be even more depressed when Sam turns out to be just like Jesse." "We can't, we're in too deep." "Oh, here he comes." "Here he comes." "I cried my eyes out." "Oh and then write, "That Richard Blaine knows nothing about love."" "Finally something presented itself." "I think Sam likes me." "Just do one thing for me." "Stop trying to help Hope." "Hope:" "I didn't plan for this final test." "No." "She's my friend, I can't abandon her." "But it all seemed worth it." "You still wanted to be my friend even after you had a girlfriend." "And at the risk of losing a girlfriend." "And that's when I had proof that you are for real." "You are a true friend." "And now I've fallen completely in love with you." "Then why aren't you smiling now?" " Because you're not smiling." " What did you expect?" "I knew I was weird, but I didn't know I was stupid." "You're not stupid." "What you think is weird" "I find charming." "And what you call accidentally funny" "I call plain funny." "It's the way to a woman's heart." "By making her smile." "And you've made me smile." "Yeah, but all of this... none of it's real." "This is real." "Gretchen:" "Carl, schnell!" "Schnell, it hurts!" "God, hurry up, you idiot!" "What's wrong with you?" "These painkillers suck!" "You suck!" "Ah-hh!" "Dummkopf!" "Where did everything go?" "Dumpster." "That Willens guy gave me the willies." "That could've been me in a year." "Months maybe." "Yeah." "I had a feeling." "Aren't you gonna need some of this stuff?" "Not since Tanya and I hooked up." "All right." "I'm happy for you, my friend." "Sam, check this out." "Come on." "That's funny." "Talk to me." "What?" "I'm not blind." "Something's wrong if a cartoon on my ass isn't making you smile." "No, I'm okay." "You've got a problem." "You love me, but you think you might also love Annie." "No, I don't." "Well, she loves you." "She didn't plan it, but it happened." "And I know you care for her too." "And I love you, Sam." "And I want you so bad." "And there's a million smiles ahead for us to share and I could make you love me more." "But it's... time for me to be a friend to you." "What are you talking about?"
