We just came from, uh, 80s night at 107.
We were in a...
Echo and the Bunnymen, do you know that band?
No, what do they sing?
Uh...oh!
[sings tune of song unrecognizably]
How the fuck am I supposed to tell what song that is?
You do?
Of course. I love you.
- And I love you. - Hmm.
[loud kissing]
Anyway.
So we're doing our thing.
Suddenly, I spot these two Indian babes.
Pete later on discovers that the two Indian babes
are actually Indian dudes.
Oh no no, that's a different story.
Andre used to date an Indian babe.
That's right.
Lovely ladies.
Anyway, I'm telling you.
These fucking chicks were hot.
One was hot, one was not.
She was cute.
You are so fucking insensitive.
Would you let him tell the story?
So the one sexy Indian chick and her hairy friend
happen to make eye contact with us from across the bar.
So I look over and I, uh, signal them
to come on over.
And they dance on over you know Kama Sutra, some shit
and the hot one, she's ready to go.
And Pete here--he thinks she's coming over to him.
She sits down next to me.
I'm telling you guys, he's fucking smoking.
you know, starts coming on to me and shit.
Like in what way?
Well she starts saying things like...
You have nice lips.
Is it bad if I want to kiss you in public?
Bad for who? Not for me.
And being the gentleman that I am.
I lean over and I give her these luscious lips.
Pete and the hairy chick, they're just watching us.
Finally, Pete says...
Okay. I gotta get up early for work.
Wha-what do you do?
Uh, I'm a trader.
Ohh, mind if I join you?
Lucky for me,
Pete took one for the team.
You had sex with her?
- Oh yeah. - No. I didn't.
- [scoffs] - I didn't have se--
Remember the brush burn?
Beth! Babe! Wait!
Dude, you're such a douche.
Whoops. Anyway.
So, I lean into the Indian chick.
I'm like, wanna go?
Why not?
So she grabs me, pulls me into the alley.
She says, I want to taste your hard candy.
And I'm like, my what?
Your hard candy.
So I'm like, fuck. Savor the flavor. Taste the rainbow.
She gives me the fucking knob slob right there
in the alley.
After that, we go back to her place,
drag her comforter out, take it up to the roof,
seal the deal right there.
My bare ass exposed to all of downtown.
Quite pretty. I got a nice ass.
Can you use it in your script?
[snaps fingers] Dean!
Hmm?
I'm giving you fucking gold here.
I'm sorry, man.
Ohh, she's giving you E.
E?
Energy.
It's my new word.
Whatever. She's giving it to you.
No, she's not.
- Andre? - Serious E, kid.
Capital E, kid.
- Hello. - [all] Tess!
- Hey. - Hi, love.
You are looking quite lovely tonight, Tess.
Yeah, okay. Thanks.
Um, what's the situation? Hm?
Well, Dean here was about to go to work.
Would you stop?
Really? Who?
Nothing.
Back?
Oh, blondie?
You know what? The dress is a little slutty, Dean. But...
Dean, she's got talent.
I would, but I already have my lady for the night.
Oh yeah? Who's the lucky girl?
What are you doing?
What's he doing?
He's giving you E.
E?
E.
Oh. Right.
Uh huh.
I don't think so, buddy.
- All right. - Oh.
You save me a dance
and I'm gonna go change this music.
Of course.
[Jay laughs]
Damn, kid.
That was, that was subtle, man.
Hey, I'm in it to win it. Okay?
These people aren't here to play fuckin' Yahtzee.
They're here to get laid.
Look, all this talking is just foreplay. It's bullshit.
Back me up, Andre.
We were just fulfilling our primal needs, like cavemen.
Except for in prehistoric days,
They just exchanged a few grunts and fucked.
So basically, you're saying that the only difference
between us and cavemen is the evolution of language?
Which is ironic because language is that very thing
that usually gets in the way of us getting laid.
Pssh. Where do you come up with this shit?
Little place called the world wide web, my friend.
- Gay porn. - Yeah.
Now. Get out there and take what's yours.
Such an asshole.
And see if she's got a friend.
Two friends.
Here we go. Ah! Ah! Ohh.
[laughs]
Hey! Good job!
[laughs]
We have an announcement.
Oh yeah? What's that?
We are no longer quarreling.
That's a fucking relief.
[speaking Spanish]
Why haven't you not called me? It's been two days!
[laughs]
The kid's been busy.
Well, I can find me another man.
Oh, I know you can, baby.
Baby?
Baby.
Oh, baby.
- Aww. Baby. - Baby.
[loud kissing]
I missed you.
So much.
[clears throat]
Okay. Excuse me.
Taxi!
Jesus.
What happened to my dance?
I had to get out of there.
You never dance with me.
I think you'll get over it.
[clears throat]
Sara's a crutch, Dean.
Who said I was going to Sara's?
Uh huh. Where are you going then?
Uh huh. Okay, you know what? Whatever.
You've been warned.
And you know that I love you for it.
Mhmm.
Contact.
- Bye, babe. - Bye.
[intercom] Next stop, Union Station.
Are you really going to Sara's, Dean?
Seriously, dude? She's kind of a ho.
Look to your right, Dean.
Excuse me?
Look to your right.
That is love.
Are you lonely?
That's because you're alone.
Oh, yes. Yes, yes.
[moaning] Yes, oh yeah!
[groans with pleasure]
[breathing heavily]
[blows raspberry]
- Hey, Sara? - Yeah?
Have you ever been in love?
You ever think about it at all?
Just about love. You know, about being in love.
With you?
Oh, not necessarily with me. Just in general.
Not really.
What if I said it?
Say what?
What, what if I said I loved you?
Do you?
What if I said it?
Why say it?
Cause you wouldn't mean it.
Okay, so what if I meant it, what would you say?
I don't know.
Think about it.
I think we've got a pretty good thing going on here.
You do?
Of course I do.

Does Jake have a vagina?
Oh, you mean is he a transexual?

Hello. And welcome back to Here Comes the Bride.
one last question
before asking the lucky man to marry her!
Groom number one:
What will you do to make me fall in love with you?
Well, I'm a live life on the edge kinda guy,
so I think we'd probably do a lot of skydiving
or bungee jumping or off roaring in my new
4-wheel drive.
Oh. Ha! I like that.
Groom number two?
Well, since I'm a personal trainer, my plan is
Oh, personal trainer? That's really original.
Sounds sweaty.
What will you do to make me fall in love with you?
to make somebody fall in love with you.
For the simple reason that love is predestined.
It's about fate. It's about magic.
It's about are we meant to be together?
And while I don't know the future, I can offer you this:
If you're my destiny,
I will love you with everything that I've got.
[phone rings]
Love that answer.
Yeah, but he won't get picked.
Do you wanna know why?
Hmm. Cause he's a geek?
Well, yeah that, and the fact that he's losing his hair.
See, the chicks on this show know exactly
who they're gonna marry the second the guys
Wait? Are you saying that people that
go on dating shows are shallow? Shocking.
to men who have healthy heads of hair.
It's a sign that their offspring will survive
in the next generation.
Genetically speaking.
Are we really qualified to be speaking genetically?
I wouldn't do so well on this show.
What are you talking about? You have a head full of hair.
Yeah, but my grandfather was bald,
so I know it's coming.
Only a finite amount of time left for me to mate.
What are you, a chimp?
I'm telling you -- it's all over for me.
Bald at 25. So tragic.
What? Really? Wha? I'm bald?
I'm kidding, you punk.
- Thinning? - I'm hanging up.
Slightly receding?
All right, neurotic. goodbye.
I think I'll marry...
groom number one!
[laughs]
[gameshow audience cheers, applauds]
Douchebag.
So, I'm at the post office, right?
I find that I'm two stamps short.
Check my wallet. Bone dry.
So I turn to this girl behind me
and beautiful brown eyes,
giving me a little E. So I say, hey,
can I borrow two stamps?
But we gotta go back to my place to get them.
So we go back to her place. She's mad cash.
I'm talking persian cat. Full cloth...
I'm allergic to cats.
So I start petting the cat.
Before you know it, she joins in, right?
We're both like, vigorously just petting this cat.
And she says to me, do you like my cat?
And I'm like, well, this is perhaps
the finest cat I have ever petted.
she's working the high hard fastball.
The high hard fastball?
His dick.
My dick.
What are you guys talking about?
Oh, must be a short conversation.
Uh, two whiskey sours, okay?
Hm. Why don't you ever get on that?
Cause you don't sleep with your friends, Jay.
Who says?
It's a well documented rule.
That's your rule, not mine.
Can you just finish the story, please?
Where was I?
Right! My dick. Anyway, so she lifts her head up, right?
Looks at me with those baby blue eyes.
They were brown.
Brown? Blue? Fucking iridescent! Doesn't matter,
cause I am seeing stars at this point, gentlemen.
And you know what she does?
She hands me two stamps.
Damn, kid.
Feel free to use that in your script.
Oh! What's up, baby?
[video game beeping]
So, Jimmy, how's school going?
Great. That's great.
Ahh, sorry this is so last minute, Dean.
Can you believe the deal with my sitter?
Yeah. Why was she deported again?
Oh, I don't know. Something about drugs or prostitution
or something. What did we learn about video games?
That they lead to an increase in violence
Okay, promise you'll be good for your uncle.
All right, I left money on the counter for dinner.
You guys can get pizza, but be sure to get a salad, too.
He needs the ruffage. Oh, but nothing with beans.
He can't process beans.
Just get outta here.
All right.
Thank you! You're a life saver.
Sure.

I don't know, why don't I let you decide?
Wrestlemania!
Hey!

Hey! Hey, are you busy?
Wrestlemania!
Um, can you give me a hand here? Maybe?
[claps]
All right. All right. You're asking for it.
I don't hear. Is that a mercy? I don't hear a mercy?
- Stop! Mercy! - Do you hear mercy?
I'm not hearing mercy. At all. Can you?
Are you done? You're totally done?
- Yes! - I don't hear it.

Yay? What do you mean, yay? It's not over.
Are you guys having sex?
- What? - God, no.
No.
Where did you even learn that word?
Mommy says you used to date.
Oh no. Briefly.
- Yeah, one date. - Yeah, in college.
We never ever had sex.
Yeah, uh, do you even know what sex is, Jimmy?
No, explain it.
Yes, Dean. Do explain it.
Sex is like ice cream
because you, you only have it
with people that you really, really love.
Have you ever had ice cream
with someone before?
No.
So you've never been in love.
Yes. That is right.
So do you masturbate?
You owe me. Big time.
I will, I will paint your friggin' bedroom, okay?
Except I am not doing that shade of yellow.
- Yes, you are. - That is disgusting.
Because you owe me. So figure it out.
- All right. - Just make it work.
Well, thanks again for everything.
Ride included.
Well, note to self: buy a car. Some day. Please.
And fully commit to LA?
Has your shit gone crazy? Get out of here.
It's been two years, you know?
She's not gonna wait around forever.
Yeah, well, she's a fickle mistress.
Yeah. No kidding.
I will buy a car, when I have a solid reason to stay.
All right. Good. Done and done.
Now get outta here, you punk.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Oh. - Um.
- Okay. - I'm so sorry.
I mean, really? Dean?
And I think our lips actually touched there.
Are you wearing like a peach, like, melon?
Okay. You know what? It's actually not the first time
you tried to kiss me.
Really?
- Really? - Yeah.
Because as I recall, it was actually you
who was the instigator of our one kiss.
The kiss that you bailed on.
Okay. Only because I had just had a root canal,
pretty clear about prior to the start of the date.
My bottom lip was like still numb. Give me a break.
Mhmm, and all this time
I thought that drool was for me.
- [laughs] - Okay, seriously.
- All right, fine. Going. - Hurry up.
Move it!

A ferry boat captain.
Not a writer.
A ferry boat captain.
I mean, do you like even have to go to college
to be a ferry boat captain?
Is that something you could apply for?
I don't know.
What's your script about, uncle Dean?
It's about falling in love.
But I thought you said you've never been in love.
That's right.
Then how do you write about it?
[sighs]
Maybe you should fall in love.
Jimmy, that's easy to say, buddy.
But you can't just go out there and fall in love
like it's something you can just do.
You ever tried?
No.
Then how do you know?
[laughs] That's amazing.
So wait, where did you go to school?
Uh, I went to Berkeley.
Oh, Berkley. That's a really good school.
- Thank you. - That was my reach school.
I went to school back east. Uh, NYU.
Hmm. Not as good, but...
Are you, uh, trying to start a fire with those things?
Oh, right. I'm sorry.
I guess I'm just a little nervous.
I mean, if it makes you feel any better, I'm nervous too.
Really? You are?
Of course.
It's all a bit of a game, isn't it.
What is?
Just dating, in general.
I just mean that there are so many rules
It's like we have to become these super human people
who always order the right thing or like the right music
or tell the perfect story.
Or who never have to go to the bathroom.
Exactly. It's like, we're nervous.
Why can't we go to the bathroom
three or four times on a date?
It's actually why I'm wearing a catheter right now.
Oh no...
I'm so sorry.
I'm not actually wearing a catheter right now,
but you see that's a perfect example of a joke
that doesn't work.
It just goes to show you, yoh what you s.
I totally agree with you.
It's all about socially retarded. Don't you think?
What?
My little sister is retarded.
It's an old make-up factory that we converted into a loft.
God, that sounds neat.
Yeah. The only real drawback is that
there are no windows or walls.
So you don't have bedrooms or anything?
We just, we threw up curtains
to divide up the space.
Oh. That must be tough on privacy.
Yeah, well, like my roommate always says:
If one of us is having sex, we're all having sex.
Yeah, family is so important to me.
I agree. I really do.
Well, what's your family like?
Well, my parents are divorced, but um...
but I have a sister, who is actually also divorced, um...
I've actually never been involved in anything
That's like, I, I like to have sex with one person
at a time.
I haven't even really--
I'm waiting 'til I get married.
Oh my God. I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't laugh. That's terrible.
But they don't have any kids,
my aunt says that that's like,
would like totally ruin everything.
I...your sister's a retard? I'm sorry. That's worse.
That's worse. I should not have said that, that's--
Wow! That's crazy.
Can't believe you've never had a boyfriend.
Well, I've never really had time for a relationship--
because I was molested by--
Dogs. I'm allergic to dogs.
How do you know that's not dog?
I don't eat meat.
I don't do dairy.
I don't swallow.
I've never had an orgasm.
I've frozen my eggs.
Have you ever tried tantra?

Men in LA play so many games.

I'm asking what it really means. What does it say?
What are we doing here?
I know you're here to hook up, Jay.
I'm just asking what does it say
about the human condition?
The human condition.
What does my wanting to get laid have anything to do
with the human condition?
I'm just asking questions, man.
Well, I'll tell you one thing. It is no more misguided
than your idiotic quest to find the one.
You think it's misguided?
It's completely misguided.
Finding the one is a inherently false concept.
You know, people have [stammers] this
fairy tale expectation that sex is no longer
gonna be fucking, it's gonna be making love.
And you know what?
They will make love for a while
and then they'll just want to fuck again.
And you know what?
You're gonna think about this. You're gonna think,
why do I want to fuck the person that I love?
And then you'll realize
that you never really loved that person.
Instead, you loved the idea of being in love
with that person, so that person was never truly
the one, she was your idea of what the one should be.
It's a mind fuck.
You're a sad man, Jay.
I'm an honest man.
Pete, help me out here.
I have a test. It's called The Mud Puddle Test.
Yeah, say I'm walking with my girl down the street
and she somehow manages to slip and fall
Somehow manages? Pete what are you talking about?
No, no, no. I'm serious.
Look, there are two outcomes.
Either she laughs about it or complains about it.
The good girl's always gonna laugh about it, right?
But the one, the woman you're gonna marry,
she's gonna drag you right into that puddle with her.
See how that works?
Pete, are you like,
pushing all your dates into mud puddles?
No no, idiot. No. I just imagine what each one
of them would be like in that situation, based on signs
I've gotten while we were dating.
And Beth?
I don't even know anymore.
What about you, Andre?
Me? I love Anna.
Who's Anna?
She lives in New York.
But I thought that Rosa was your girl.
No, Anna's his girl girl.
So does Anna sleep with other people?
No. How do you know?
She's a good girl.
But you do.
I'm a bad boy.
And you love her?
Love is comfort. At least for me, it's comfort.
It's knowing she'll be there whenever I need her.
It's like this lighter.
I love this lighter
cause I know it's always gonna work.
So you love Anna like you love your lighter?
He loves his lighter more.
I need a lighter.
She's the one.
A toast then, to finding the one.
No, no.
A toast to lying, cheating, stealing,
lying for your friends, cheating death,
and stealing ladies' hearts.
I'll catch you guys later.

Yeah. I'm just--
Yeah, I'm fine.

It's just these women I've been going out with--
too much baggage.
Orjust way too shallow.
Yeah, says the guy looking for love
to finish his screenplay.
Well, maybe I'm writing it as a subconscious expression
of my need to fall in love. You ever think about that?
Well, you're wrong. You gotta look for the signs.
Like the small miracles. The weird coincidences.
The deja-vus. The stuff that turns you off.
The stuff that makes you tingle.
Like seeing the same woman over and over again
every time you go out?
Exactly.
Or that you had a boyfriend that you discovered
went to the same summer camp as you,
except you guys never ran into each other.
Did that happen to you?
No.
Wouldn't that be cool though?
Yeah, it'd be awesome.
Yeah.
I wish I went to summer camp.

And if I do like her, is it because I really like her
or because I'm just trying to write my script?
Wow. Am I that shallow?
Maybe I am, but I kissed her. And I liked it.

Remember that Latino girl I used to date?
- You mean Alicia? - Yeah. That's the one.
You know, I took her to one of those rooftop joints once?
Yeah man. Did the three D's: drinks, dinner, dancing.
That kind of thing. Anyway, picture this:
midnight rolls along and we stroll out onto the deck
and there was this gigantic moon thatjust sort of
hung right over the city, lit up the entire sky.
And there was this gentle breeze that kept
lifting her hair. It was perfect.
This is perfect.
And let me guess? She gave you the old blow job
right then and there on the deck?
No, man. It wasn't about that.
It was just a moment. You know? A perfect moment.
Everything about the evening,
everything around us was perfect. I knew it.
She knew it. And at that moment,
just for one moment,
I thought I loved her.
Did you tell her this?
Nah. Nah. Nah. I didn't tell her.
- Why not? - I couldn't.
Because the moment passed as quickly as it came
and I realized I don't love the girl. I love the moment.
See for me, it was always about the moment.
Well, until I met Anna.
Do you not have perfect moments with Anna?
Nah. See with Anna,
I never even thought about perfect moments.
Never even tried to look for 'em.
Then I got to thinking about that and I realized that
every moment I had with Anna was perfect
because I loved her
and I realized that love is the perfect moment
that never ends.
So why aren't you with her now, man?
Ah, she's in, she's in, she's in New York
and I moved to LA.
Yeah, but your perfect moment--it's out there.
It's waiting on you, kid.
Yeah.
Good cop, bad cop.
Who's the good cop?
You are, kid.
What's up?
Yeah. You.

Hey! Don't make me get rough with you, buddy.

What? Like a drug thing?
No, like a sex thing.
Oh, like you had a lot of sex?
Uh, mostly submissive masochistic stuff.
You know, like spankings, whippings, little bondage.
It was, it was just this really crazy phase
that I went through not that long ago.
Oh God. Is this too much for you? I'm sorry,
I always do this. I always reveal too much too soon.
No. No. No. No. I totally get it.
It's like, how much are you willing to reveal?
And how soon do you finally reveal yourself?
Like how long do you have to play the part of the person
And when do you finally settle into playing the part
of the person who you really are.
I like that.
No.
What are you doing?
I'm gonna ride you.
Can I just say something?
No.
Uh, I like you.
I mean, I don't want you to think I'm like psycho
or anything, but I can tell that there's something here.
You know? And of course I wanna do
