"You're uprooting your whole life for some guy you met at a bar?" "I mean, what do you even know about this guy?" "I know that I've never felt so alive." "And you know what?" "Maybe at our age, we're just supposed to pounce on these things." "My kids are in college." "Anders has clearly moved on." "So why am I gonna rush back to L.A. and a very empty house?" "Don't wait up." " What are you doing?" " What Melanie should have done." "Googling Hank." "Good idea." "Let's find out about this guy." "Put in "Hank, plumber, Cleveland," "Windy Highland Marina."" "This is why the Internet was invented." "For men to find pictures of naked celebrities and women to cyber-stalk the men they trust." "Look." "Okay, here's an image of him from a month ago with... his wife." "Well, who didn't see that coming?" "What would be on your list?" " Honestly?" " No, lie to me." "Honestly, I have always wanted to learn to tango." "Yeah." "Rose in my teeth." "The whole bit." " Oh, my God." "Me too!" " Really?" " Let's do it together." " That would be..." "I'd really... really like that." "Melanie, there's... there's something I really think you should know, and I have been picturing myself telling you and coming up with these really awful scenarios." "He's married!" "Not that bad, but kind of like that." "Oh, my God." "That's what you were trying..." "Oh, my God." "Melanie, please." "Please don't." "Stop, stop, stop!" "You can just leave." " But this is my boat." " Just go!" "Please just don't." "What can we do?" "Let's kill him." "That's your solution to everything." "Well, could we just try it once?" "I just wanted to feel young and stupid." "Now I just feel stupid." "Stupid and old." "You're not old." "40 is the new 25." "I thought 40 was the new 30." "If we're just gonna make crap up, I'd rather be 25." " Excuse me." " I said go away!" " There's something I need to say." " You've said and done quite enough." "I didn't go to that bar with this in mind, but then three incredibly beautiful, sophisticated women came in and sat down at my table." "Go on." "You were so breathtakingly beautiful that I couldn't stop myself." "I am a plumber who's stuck in a bad marriage and who hurt someone he never should have hurt." "I am so sorry." "For sophisticated ladies, we shouldn't have burst in on you like that." "But when one of us is in trouble, then nothing else in the world matters." "My God." "It's my agent." "Everybody, just shut up." "He thinks I'm in Paris." "Oui, hello?" "Well, let's talk tomorrow." "Well, I have an audition for the next transformers movie." " What part?" " To play Megan fox's grandmother." "If anybody thinks you look like a grandma, they're crazy." "Thank you." "He's a keeper." "Oh, God, I don't wanna audition for grandmothers' parts." "I loved being the queen of daytime." "I've put everything in my business." "If that doesn't work out, I've got nothing." "Or... you have the chance to change something." "Number 72." "Re-invent yourself." "Oh, God, I really want to do that." "I know it may sound crazy, but..." "I think I wanna do that here." "You're not gonna become one of those women who like themselves, are you?" "Cause everybody hates those women." "Let me ask you something." "What's the deal with old ladies and track suites?" "It's simple." "In your twenties you dress for men." "In your forties you dress for success." "In your eighties you dress for the bathroom." "Should all move on." "So, too bad about that married guy." "When I was your age, we didn't get into that kind of trouble." "My husband was the only man I ever dated." "Didn't you wanna try another one out, I mean, you know, just to compare?" "That's a sinful thought." "So, you're OK, Mel?" "Yeah, I'm good." "You guys have a very early flight tomorrow." "So please, just go to Paris and have a wonderful time." "I don't know." "Somehow I can't seem to get excited about Paris anymore." "Your joy..." "Instead of two weeks in Paris we could spend 2 weeks in Cleveland." "I mean..." "The Paris of Ohio." "No, that's Toledo." "What should we do now?" "I say..." "We go to that bar where men think we're hot." "I'll drive."
