Love Stinks (1999)
Come on. Let's move, let's go!
Got to get to Vegas. - Holly. - Hello, bride to be! - There he is. - I'm so excited. Seth, my man. You can still back out. Would you stop already? We're getting married. I have to go to the bathroom. Thanks for the update, Larry. Go. I need you to come with me. We're guys. We don't go in pairs. We are going to the bathroom. - I'm not going to the bathroom. - Come on. Unbelievable. Okay, my headset. They'll kick us out of first class. - We need to go to the bathroom. - I'm not going in there. - Two friends can go to the bathroom. - No, it's creepy. - All right, fine. - Thank you. - You are starting to bother me! - Sit down. Larry, you're my best friend... but if I see Mr. Chocolate, I'll scream. You're not leaving this bathroom until you call off the wedding. But I love her. After everything you've been through? - It wasn't that bad. - Not that bad? Let me break it down to you one more time. It all started at my wedding rehearsal. Saturday night, and everything seemed so perfect. I got my wedding dress. Then she walked in. Miss Bachelorette. Party photos! Why are you bringing those here? Give me those, Chelsea! Who is that? One of the bridesmaids. Chelsea Turner. No boyfriend. Pretty hot, huh? She could steam clean carpets, whatever that means. Say no more. I'll hook you up. Wait. Why would she go out with me? - I'll lie, fool. Come on. - That's my only hope. - How does she get in parties? - I don't know. She always finds a way. - Excuse me. - Hi, baby. Soon to be Mrs. Larry Garnett. Chelsea, I would like you to meet... one of my groomsmen, Seth Winnick. He's my writing partner. He's funny as hell. He actually reads to the blind and delivers meals on wheels. I shit you not. This man is one miracle away from sainthood. I'm impressed. Stick around. Later, I'll part traffic on the freeway. You know, you guys will be walking down the aisle together. God, that's great. - Have you ever done this before? - Are you kidding me? I'm like a protessional bridesmaid. I should open a store called Hideous Pastel Chiffon Dress World. It's my first time, so be gentle. Nothing to it. Come here, I'll show you. I'm an expert at this. Shoulders back, chin up. - Act really serious. - Serious. So much to remember. You're doing good. Thanks to my teacher. Would you mind dropping me off by those guys over there? You can make it. I have faith in you. God bless ya. In sickness and in health... for as long as you both shall live? I do. I now pronounce you Mr. And Mrs. Lawrence Garnett. You may kiss your wife. That was so beautiful. That's my booty right there. - Come on now. Robot, baby. - Here come the robot. How's your salad? It's good. I'm predicting chicken and vegetables show up next. Right. Bring it on down! I heard they're serving dog shit pudding for dessert. That sounds good. Thank you. Yes, I'll be break-dancing later. I, myself, suffer from white man's disease... which is the number one killer of rhythm. You are a dickhead. Amber? Dickhead. Cute little pet name she has for me. - I like it. - Thank you. Work it, girl! Normally, all the bachelors try to catch the garter. But I'm handing it to the man who needs it the most, Seth Winnick. Come on up here, buddy. Come on. Get up there. Get up there, you sexy thing. Let's go! Don't worry about it. I'm going to get you for this, Jetson! Now that I'm married, you are next. I only wish you the joy and bliss... that Holly has brought into my life. Thank you. I know she's out there. Something in my eye. So tell me everything you know about Seth Winnick. Girl, Seth is a great guy. - No ex-wives. - Beautitul. - No kids. - Loving it. And I know he makes serious bank... because he splits a paycheck with my husband... who now splits his paycheck with me. - Thank you very much. - Oh, yes. Hear, hear. I think he's so sexy. I wonder it he's got a big cock. - Hi, Nana. - Hello, Holly dear. Remember, you make him wait at least three dates. - Three? - Yes, three. At least three dates. Don't be a ho, dear. Nana, give it up. Shit. I can't stay long. Richard thinks I'm in the bathroom. He'll kick my ass. Amber's probably slashing my tires. I have a crazy idea. Do you want to get together later on tonight? Yeah. How would you like to go dancing under the stars? In Los Angeles? Wise men say Be honest. You bring all your dates here, don't you? Not all of them. It depends on if my cousin's working. Eddie, this is Chelsea. Do women really tall for this? You know, I can't honestly remember... being with any other women. - Is that right? - Yeah. You are so beautiful. I know you must hear that all the time... but never at the planetarium, right? Probably because it's dark. Aren't I killing? - It's cute you're trying so hard. - Yeah? You can stop trying now. Falling in love With you Like a river flows You'll have to forgive the mess. I wasn't expecting company. God, look at the microbes on that couch. This place is a freakin' crack house! This is nice. You have beautitul taste. - Really? Thank you. - Yeah. - I'm actually a decorator. - Really? You know, I need a decorator. You have to come to my house. - Right now. - Right now? It's a decorating emergency. Stay calm. Let me just change into something a little less matrimonial. Be right back. Seems to be a theme running through your reading material. You mean the bridal magazines? My mom sends those to me. For some reason, my biological clock is ticking in her body. Those moms. She's threatening to adopt grandkids. I would love to find someone to share my life with... and start a family. - How do you feel about kids? - I can't wait to have kids. Yeah, tired of mowing my own lawn. Do you have a cat? Not a cat. The cat of all cats. Gracie, come say hi. That's okay. I'm deathly allergic. I wheeze. There's my baby girl. Come here. Look at her. She's a cutie. Any chance we could shave her... and seal her in Saran Wrap? He doesn't mean that, sweetheart. So far, it was the perfect first date. You even got her back to your place. Just keep in mind that I've only been here three months. What do you think? The Sony PlayStation... That really warms up the room. Yeah, I thought so too. That's why I put it there. Moving on. Please, go into the dining area. Come on. Stay with the group. No flash photography, please. This place could be so warm and cozy. It's just not. No, it's not. A rat hole, really. Let's go in here. This is a room I like to reter to as the other room. Clever. I'm just guessing that you're an Elvis fan. Yeah. He may not be with us, but he lives on through his plates. Moving on. And, finally, in keeping with my theme of simplicity... the master bedroom. - You need me. - Yes, I do. You're hired. - Smart man. - Yeah. So just tell me what you want, and I'll make it happen. Really? I can think of one thing that I want. Stop. I have a rule. A rule? Already? Let me guess. "Never kiss a client." You're fired. My rule is I never sleep with a man... unless we've had at least three meals together. Three? We had dinner at the rehearsal. That's one. And I'm ready for a little breaktast. Meal number two. Breaktast at a mini-mart. I don't deserve this. That's where you're wrong. You do deserve this. This is the best microwave egg burrito in town. Plus, I needed gas, so it's pretty convenient. Here you go. Take two. They're small. There you go. You know, I know what we should do next. - We are not eating lunch. - Man. Tiger, I found your ball. I guess I used a little too much club. After 18 holes of professional miniature golf, I'm famished. You're hungry. What a surprise. It's actually lunchtime in Paris. So that would be meal number three. All conditions satisfied. It we do this, it means that I stop dating Richard... and you stop dating Amber or Turquoise... or whatever crayon she was named after. So you want an exclusive relationship... after six hours? Or I can just be your decorator. It's up to you. You can have the wildest night of sex in your life... or a few nice throw pillows. Oh, God! - What'd I do? - Good morning, Miss Littlejohn. What in God's good name is going on here? You know what? I opened the showroom a little bit early... and this customer wanted to know how well the bed performed. So this is the new Sealy Posturepedic? I like it. After one night, you had yourself a girlfriend. Chelsea quit her job to work full-time decorating your house. And she also decorated you. She even got you to take allergy shots... so you could build up a tolerance to her cat. Meanwhile, we were shooting our new sitcom... Ronnie and Juliet. Chelsea, this is my agent. Where do you find these babes? Hi. Marty Mark. With a name like that, I should be modeling underpants. The man's show is on the tall schedule. - We haven't shot the pilot yet. - Irrelevant. I spoke to Bloomstein, president of the network. He said it looks terrific. Bloomstein never says that. He says, "Looks fantastic." Which doesn't mean squat. But he said, "Looks terrific," which is fantastic. Ronnie, we have to stop. Why? What? Was I moving my tongue too fast? I have this rule. I can't have sex with a man until we have three meals together. I said that to Seth. Get used to it. Our men write sitcoms. If they had original thoughts, they'd be novelists. They don't make any money. Baby. That was such a great show... but next time you steal my lines, I want a credit that says... "Cute dialogue by Chelsea Turner." It's a done deal. - Mr. On-The-Schedule! - Yeah. I really like this guy. I think that Seth could be the one. Are you serious? Does he feel the same way? Please, he's a man. He has no idea how he's feeling. I know your man Elvis gave Colonel Parker a brand-new Cadillac. I want a Jaguar with two phones and a fax. The show was fantastic. No, it was terrific. I knew you guys had a hit in you. I'm glad you saved it for us, instead of wasting it on NBC. It is so over for those guys. Girl, it's about time. I'm so used to you with these... GQ-looking, just feel like going bare-chested... bicycle riding through Central Park kind of men. And they always break my heart. And they always will. That is why Seth is perfect. He's so sweet. He makes me laugh. I finally found a nice guy that's ready to settle down. Lunch tomorrow, okay? We'll go over strategy. Now remember, it took me three breakups, seven ultimatums... and God knows how many not-so-thinly-veiled threats... before Larry coughed up this ring. Okay, whatever it takes. I'm gonna marry that man. Just the man I want to see. Rum and Coke, Vodka cranberry. And it's all on this man. Coming right up. Hi, Tawny. If you ever need an actress that looks like me... don't forget, I look like me. Yes, you do. You never know when we might need a sexy neighbor. Gee, you think I could play sexy? - I guess I could try. - Yeah. Hi, I'm Chelsea, Seth's girlfriend. I'm Tawny. Your boyfriend is so cute. I'll see you later. Did I hear you say you act? Why didn't she know you had a girlfriend? You know, you got me. Been handing out flyers all over town. Just do me a favor. Don't ever give that bimbo a part. What if the part is for a bimbo? Then hire another bimbo. - I just don't like her. - No? Chelsea had her fish on the hook. Now she started reeling you in. Wow. This place is fantastic. This looks like an actual house. You're not Chelsea. Where are you going, Batman? - I hope you like dogs. - I like anything that chases cats. Hello. Nice to meet you too. My God. He's so cute. What's his name? Say, "It ain't Tom Jones, Papa." Elvis! - What do you think of the house? - It's fantastic. You did a great job. Reminds me a little bit of your place. Yeah, I do feel right at home. You'll love what I did to the guest room. Surprise. It's one of those baby rooms. You said you wanted kids. I'm good to go. My God! This place looks terrific. Thank you very much. Man, you are the greatest woman in the world. - Look at you. - Sit down, boy. My God. That's Viva, Las Vegas. That's my favorite movie. Come on, everybody and snap your fingers now That's it. Come on, everybody and clap your hands real loud That's right. Come on, everybody take it really fast And repeat after me I love my baby And my baby loves me Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the longhaired music Like Brahms Beethoven and Bach But I was raised with a guitar in my hand - And I was born to rock - Audience participation! Come on, everybody and turn your head to the left Come on, everybody and turn your head to the right The funny thing is I do this every night. Take a real deep breafh and repeat after me I love my baby And my baby loves me Bring it home. Big finish. - You know what? - What? I love you. Already? Wrong response. It's just that it's only been four weeks. I knew after four minutes, you dope. So say it back. It back. Seth, you ruined it. That could have been so romantic. What happened to Mr. Planetarium? Shit. Honey? Crap. Where are you going? Are you leaving? If you don't love me, it's better I know right now. But I never said that I didn't love you. The words every woman dreams of hearing. It's all right. Maybe I'm just not the girl for you. - But maybe you are. - Maybe. Way to commit. Wait. I love you. - Do you mean it? - I think I mean it. It you don't know you mean it, don't say it. Then I mean it. Say it again. I love you. Again. Louder. All right? Why didn't you just say it in the first place? I tensed up. It's a guy thing. You see what happened? Every time Chelsea says... - I love you. - You are required by law to say... I love you too. And that changes everything. This might be the best idea I've ever had. Ronnie needs an operation. Juliet walks in on him. He's getting a sponge bath from some hot nurse I could help cast... - The hospital show? - Come on. I did not say "hospital show." - How dare you talk about Chachi. - I know a lot about Chachi. People! We're doing our first 13 episodes. We cannot steal old plots. That's right. Until we get picked up for the rest of the season. Then we'll just check old TV Guides and phone them in. It's not "the hospital show." It's the "sponge bath show." - I need to talk to you. - What's wrong? I'm gonna go take a sponge bath. I'm sorry. It's an emergency. Tell him you love sponge baths. My God, honey, what happened? Gracie ran away. Gracie the cat? Yes. I'm sorry, honey, but isn't that a cat thing? They have their little adventures, they come home. This is not "a cat thing." She has never done this before. You have to help me look for her. Honey, I'm under the gun here. We need a story in like a half hour. So... So what are all those writers for? What is more important, my cat or a stupid sitcom? Let me see. There's your cat... that makes me gasp for oxygen... and my body break out in a horrible rash... or my livelihood. Come on, kitty. That's not how you call her. She's used to it a certain way. Now listen. No, listen to me! - You are not paying attention! - I'm trying, honey. Are you telling me the cat won't respond unless her name is... properly enunciated? Don't give me any shit! This is your fault! So it's my fault your cat ran away? Yes. Every night... poor Gracie watched me pack an overnight bag... with a sad look on her sweet face. Then I would leave her all alone because of your dumb allergies. She thought that I didn't love her anymore. So she left, rather than be a burden. Maybe we should just respect her wishes. That is not funny. I can't stay in my house... without Gracie. There's too many memories. So I'm moving in with you. What, are you serious? I'm there every night anyway. If you really loved me, you'd want me there all the time. - I do. - Really? Bang! See how she snuck in? "If you really love me"? And four hours later... Hi. Chelsea and Seth can't get to the phone... so leave us a message and we'll call you back. Won't we, baby? Sure. Now, that was smooth. Chelsea was in the house. And you know what happened the next morning. Look who's back. - Great. It's a miracle. - I know. It's Gracie. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I want to make a toast. A toast. To my amazing husband Larry... on our special anniversary. And to my boyfriend Seth on our special anniversary. And to my date Jesse... on our special anniversary too. Happy anniversary. Do you guys have any idea what we're toasting to? Not a clue. Not really. Baby, what happened one year ago today? Something important. We took our first plane trip together... to Hawaii. Hawaii. Our first plane trip. - Important. - Of course. What did we do two months ago? - Oh, we... - We moved in together. Right. I was gonna say that. - One week ago? - I've only known you a week. Yes, silly. One week ago, you saw me on Baywatch... and told my agent to have me call you. And I did like an hour later. Yeah, all right. Happy anniversary. Cheers, everyone. I would also like to make a special toast to Larry. For introducing me to my future husband. What? My God, is this the big announcement? No ring yet. I'm sorry, honey. That kind of slipped out. It's okay. My heart has resumed beating. To Larry. Thank you. A little thirsty? Did you see the look on Seth's face? He looked like Wile E. Coyote hanging in midair thinking... "I'm fucked." Just keep dropping hints, spoil him rotten... and screw his brains out. Believe me, he will come around. If that doesn't work? Never underestimate the power of tears. Do you guys think Jesse likes me? Honey, yes, he does like you. He also likes every other girl in this town. I'm sorry. I thought you should know. That's cool. I just want him to take me to my prom. "Love bears all things, believes all things... hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." And I love you. Happy Valentine's Day. A new watch? This is beautiful. God, you shouldn't be spending this much money on me. I knew you'd say that, so I put it on your MasterCard. So I get the bonus miles too. That's great. Thank you. Happy Valentine's Day. Why are you crying? You haven't even opened it yet. My God, I know. But it this is what I think it is... - It's an amethyst. - Yeah, it's your birthstone. - Oh, nice. - Yeah. God, that looks beautitul on you. Hello. Pretend you just got a present. I said it's nice. Thank you. Don't you want to make love? Go ahead. That will be nice. I'll just lock up when I'm done. What's wrong? Nothing. What did I do? It's my problem. I'll be tine. You want to talk to me? - You don't want to know. - Yes, I do. I'm pretty sure. It's just that we're at this romantic vacation resort... and I thought that you were going to... that you were going to propose. Propose marriage? Isn't that what people do when they're in love? I thought we were just coming here to play golf. I mean, marriage... That's a big step. I mean, you're deciding is this the person I want to annoy... for the rest of my life. I never want to make love to another man again. And I never want to make love to another man either. But I only want to get married once. I watched my parents split up, and it was a major nightmare. Dad became an alcoholic. Mom became a lesbian. Then Dad became a transvestite to get Mom back. That was stupid... but I think my point about divorce is still very valid. My parents have been married 42 years... and they are so happy. We can be that happy. Come on, baby. Come on. Let's just get engaged. Say, "Chelsea, will you marry me?" All right, you don't have to set a date. Just buy me the ring. Four carats, colorless, grade E, Clarity: VVS-1, emerald cut. That would shut me up. We're still getting to know each other, but at least now... I know what kind of diamonds you like. You are so unfunny. Come on, Chels, you're making me crazy here. Now we should talk. If I am not the one for you, just tell me... so we can stop wasting each other's time. What are you saying, marry me or it's over? Either we're moving forward or we're standing still. What does your heart say? My heart says let's make a deal. How about we live together for a predetermined amount of time... during which you agree never to bring up the "M" word. When time's up, if things feel good... then we get engaged. And exactly how long is this predetermined amount of time? - Two years. - What? I am not waiting two years for you to see it things "feel good." How about 18 months? Six months. One year. But that's starting today. No credit for time already served. Deal? Deal. That was so beautitul. Yeah. I'm feeling the love. Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming to another taping of... Ronnie and Juliet. Now, let's meet the stars of our show... Jesse Travis and Rebecca Melini! Ladies and gentlemen... we just found out... we were picked up for the entire season! Good morning. Are you ready for your sponge bath? I am so ready. It's very good that you're here because... I'm filthy. I can clean everything... except that dirty mind of yours. - Shit! - What? Seth hired that bimbo. Thank you, nurse. I can take over from here. I'm sorry. Only medical personnel can perform medical procedures. Look here. Either give me the sponge... or the proctologist will have to remove it. You think he's doing her? You are the coolest, hottest little honey dip in this town. Only a complete schmuck would cheat on you. I do not need to be this close to your head. Here's an idea. Why don't we get another sponge? Then the two of you can give me a sponge bath? Bad idea. I told you the sponge bath would work. - And cut! - I am going to kill him! Seth, how was I? You were terrific, lady. You're such a doll. Good job, Tawny. You give one heck of a sponge bath. You are such an asshole! Hi, honey. A million bimbos in this town... and you hire the one I asked you not to. Tawny gave the best reading... and she's not a bimbo. Thank you, sweetie. No, don't help. Oh, my God, this is such bullshit. Could we maybe talk about this at home? Don't bother coming home. God. It's okay. We have these pretend fights... so that we can pretend to make up... so that we can have pretend-fight/make-up sex. It's fun. - Good show. - Great show. Can we talk to you? Break up and run for your life. It's not that simple. I love her. You love a jealous, controlling, possessive bitch! Shall I leave? - Definitely not. - You guys need help. We'll get you a little couple counseling... and get her a whole bunch of anger management. - You'll be tine. - Larry, don't you get it? That chick is a ticking time bomb. Seth, get out of the building. It's true. Chelsea can be a tad dramatic. And, yes, she's got a bit of a temper. But for the most part, I think she's sweet... fun... heck of a homemaker and, come on... the sex is fucking outstanding... as in outstanding fucking. We'll get you someone new. Jasmine is it? What about that redhead friend of yours at the tanning salon? - Gina? - Yes. - Single and a freak. - Great news. Tell her to be at the planetarium in an hour. - Call your cousin Eddie. - Do you want to be single forever? How cool will you look, rolling in your walker... chasing some toothless old lady? You get better blow jobs it they're toothless. - I hear. - I say commit to the long run. All couples have problems. Work it out. It's worth it. Gina's out of gas, but it you bring a can of unleaded... to the Pinto stuck in the middle lane... of the Hollywood Freeway near the Melrose exit... she'll follow you home. Go. Knock, knock. Is it safe to come in? Yes. I'm so sorry. I saw that girl, the next thing I'm Glenn Close... Iooking for a rabbit to boil. Look, honey, nothing's going on. I forgot all about that night that you met that girl. Can I please make it up to you? What did you have in mind? Back rub, blow job, breakfast in bed. The three B's. Yeah, that's got a shot at working. Why are guys so easy? And that was pretty much how the year went. You guys would fight, make up and have make-up sex. The next thing you know, it's Valentine's Day again: The deadline. Isn't it a little early to be in our pj's... cuddling by the fire? Because it makes it more romantic. And 3:00 is the perfect time to exchange gifts. And I can't wait any longer. Are you ready? Yeah? Happy Valentine's Day. Fuck you. I'm sorry. I thought I just heard you say... You're not proposing, are you? Not today. But... Don't you even want to try them on? They're so beautiful in the box. I bet on an actual earlobe... That would just be magnificent. You son of a bitch! You promised! I did not promise. Our deal was it and only it everything was great... then we would get engaged. You have to admit, honey, it was a pretty rocky year. Because you won't marry me. What is your problem? I am pretty. I am sexy. I am fun. And nobody will ever love you as much as I do. So why won't you marry me? What's the rush? I don't get it. Can't we just be together? - You are never gonna marry me. - What? Honey, I never said never. That's it! Where is my bag? I am out of here! I need more time. Big deal. Wait! Would you be happier if we weren't living together? You know what? For once in your dysfunctional... emotionally constipated, fear-filled... spiritually crippled existence... say what you want. You know what I want. Don't tell me I would be happier moving out. It you want me to leave, open your fat mouth... and say the fucking words! I think a little space might be good for the relationship. You want space. I will give you the fucking galaxy! And here's what I think of your pathetic attempt to buy more time. Wait! Those cost $10,000! Fishy, here's $10,000 worth of fish food! That's it! You have officially pissed me off! You haven't had it so bad: A free place to live, all expenses paid... vacations, clothes, more shoes than I've ever fucking seen. You just threw away the best thing you'll ever have! You suck! Fuck! Hi, it's Seth. Leave me a message. It you want to talk to Chelsea, you should really ask yourself why! God! You thought you were finished with Chelsea... but the fun was just starting. So Juliet says, "Ronnie, guess what? My mom's moving in with us." - And Ronnie says... - "Your mom? That's not exactly what I had in mind... when I suggested you, me and another woman." That's comedy. I suggest we end on a high note. Take the rest of the day off, start fresh in the morning. I have a delivery for Seth Winnick. - Yeah, that's me. - Right on. - Who's this from? - Looks like your agent. Just sign right there. So this is the think tank? - This isn't from my agency. - It's a lawsuit. You signed proof of service. I'm sorry, dude. But I really dig your show. If you're looking for new writers... I brought my spec Frasier script. - See? It says "Frasier." - Get out. Right. So, should I call you then? - Should I leave it on your desk? - Leave it in your ass! Right on. Walter Drooz? Isn't he that scumbag lawyer, which is redundant. - Right. - He's an expert in... Palimony. - Hello! - Shit. - This is your fault. - How is it my fault? Because you said, "Work it out. It's worth it." - Obviously, you didn't work it out. - No shit. Look at this. She claims I promised to marry her. She gave up her career to act as my wife. - She co-wrote all my scripts. - I co-wrote all your scripts. I know. She wants half my income for the past year... plus my house and spousal support payments. I'm sorry, man. The girl is crazy! But she's still fine. - Holly got other friends... - I think you've done enough. Look who's back. The antichrist. Hi. How are you? Good to see you. What the hell do you think you're doing? Making veggie lasagna. How lovely for you, but considering this joke of a lawsuit... It's no joke. You're in a heap of trouble. Yeah, I'm scared to death. Why don't you just get your stupid, lazy cat... and get out of here. I think not. I get my mail and phone calls here... which means this is my legal residence. I'm not going anywhere. You're not moving out? Why are you doing this? Couples break up every day. They don't get lawyers. They just move on with their lives. Just go get an apartment. I'll pay for it. You'll pay for a lot more than that. After everything I've done for you... think I'll let some other woman get all the benefits... and I get nothing? Baby, it's too dark in here. That's better. Look at you, pretty girl. - What are you doing? - Let's brush you before bed. Get that bad dander away. Yes. Look at it. It's bad. You look so pretty, honey. So this is what hell is like. You found yourself a real sweetheart. She's got no case, right? One year of cohabitation is not a marriage... but the beauty of American jurisprudence... is you can sue anybody for anything. So who knows? Rich TV producer versus poor working girl... sobbing, "He promised to marry me." She might get some money. But, Monica, I never promised to marry her. Your word against hers. And it this goes all the way to trial... this could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just to break up with my girlfriend? Can't I just kill her and get off? This is Los Angeles. I'm warning you, whatever happens... do not lay a finger on her or her possessions. That's fine, but I cannot guarantee the safety of her cat. - I didn't hear that. - I'm just saying, accidents happen. Lawn darts in the backyard... "Gracie, look out!" One from behind. - Look what Drew Carey is making. - Yeah, I should be making that. I'm here. I'm sorry I'm late. I was at my lawyer's... dealing with my ex-girlfriend's palimony suit. But don't worry because I can assure you... this will have no impact on the show. So let's read this week's script entitled... "Ronnie Smashes Juliet's Skull In With A Frying Pan." I heard Monica Harris is your attorney. - Drooz will eat her for breaktast. - We'll see. You might want to keep yourself scarce Saturday night about 7:00. - I have a date. - Good. I hope you marry him. I'm so over the marriage thing. Now I just want to go buck wild. - You're such a pig. - I am so sorry. I had beans and broccoli for dinner... and washed them down with some crab cakes. Goodness. I am so sorry. Would you like to spoon me? I feel like I'm past the worst of it. - I need some cuddle time. - Stop it. I was wrong. Incoming. My goodness. I'm keeping the neighbors up. Your feet are on fire. Wait. You're so gross. Man, I've got skills. I've got game. - That's my date. - Could be my date. Listen, babe, you don't want to be around when my date shows up. Same goes for you, babe. You asked a woman to pick you up? You have zero class. It just so happens... - What's in your ear? - My diamond earrings. The diamond earrings that I gave you? Yep. The ones that you threw in the ocean? Did you really think I would throw away... $10,000 worth of diamonds? Slipped them in my little pink bra. Goddamn. As much as I hate you right now, that was a good move. My God. Did the network fire me? They love you, as long as the ratings stay up. Come in. You look adorable. Look at these. They're beautiful. Come with me. Let's put them in some water. All righty. - These are so gorgeous. - I'm glad you like them. Wait a minute. You're her date. Marty's your date? You weren't supposed to be here. I begged him to stay upstairs. You can't go out with her. You're my agent. You're supposed to at least pretend to be my friend. Come on, Seth. You know I hardly ever get laid, for free. You guys broke up. I just want to bang her a couple of times. You don't mind, do you, buddy? Excuse me. He says he wants to bang you... because he never gets laid... because he's a lowlife, fucking worm! She doesn't even like you. She's just using you to get back at me. I have no problem with this. She's a bloodsucking, inhuman creature of the night... spawned from Satan's seed. Yeah, once again, not a problem. Hello? Bad time? Come on in. You look adorable. Look who's here, sleeping her way to the bottom. She's just jealous because you're a stunning actress... and her date is a slimy bottom feeder... sponging off of people who actually have talent. By the way, Marty, you are so fucking fired. Fine by me. I'll still commission Ronnie and Juliet... and make a fortune off of you by doing nothing. So nothing will change. - What is she doing here? - I live here. Did Seth forget to tell you he's just using you... in a pathetic attempt to upset me? Look who's talking. By the way, Marty, when she gets into your pants... she's just looking for your wallet. Playing with your dick is just to distract you. Works for me. All I ever wanted to do... was spend my life loving you... you disgusting sack of shit! Then why did you hire the sleaziest lawyer in town... you pathologically deluded, morally bankrupt... in denial, self-esteem deficient bitch on wheels? I am not in denial! - I'm getting my purse. - You are a freak of nature! - Get away from me! - You don't like me following you? - Then move out! - You move out! - This is my house! - Not for long! - I dropped my last name. - I saw your guest shot on ER. Loved the way you overdosed. But now my character can't come back. Please. You should have your own series anyway. I'm with Inventive Artists. - Maybe we should do lunch. - You need psychiatric help! - You're beyond help! - How about dinner tonight? It's like you're reading my mind, pretty lady. Sad, really. You smell fantastic. Do not tell me to shut up. Say, "Be quiet." Just stop talking. Nice job. You fucked up date night. Gracie sleeps with the fish under the pier. Somebody needs a bath. Baby, Mommy's coming! Yeah, here comes Mommy. Oh, my God! She's coming to save you because she loves you so much. I, on the other hand, couldn't care less. God, this is a long pier. Shit. Mommy's flagging a little. I don't think she ate her Wheaties. Don't hurt my cat! Say good night, Gracie. My God, she can't swim! There's only one way to learn. You do not want to do this. Here. Come on. Just step back from the rail. Let's talk about it. Talking time is over. Swimming time is here. But don't worry, Gracie. There's lots of yummy fish down there. She won't answer to that. You have to say Gracie! My baby girl! It's okay! I am gonna kill you! Didn't Gracie tell you? She loves to bungee jump. I can't believe you did that to my baby! - Mommy's coming. - By the way... the EPA estimates that about 10,000 people... take a dump in that water every day. That's just a fun little tact. My baby. What did that bad man do to you? Happy Valentine's Day. Ronnie, is this what I think it is? It's amethyst. Yeah, your birthstone. - Hello. - Sorry. I was hoping for a diamond. You thought I was gonna propose? Why would we want to get married? Our relationship is going so well. But where the hell is it going? Apparently back to the jewelry store to return the amethyst. What the fuck is happening to my character? Every week she's getting bitchier and more desperate. Who thinks this is funny? I find that all the best humor comes from life. Not your life. Yeah, you better fix this shit. 'Cause your fucked-up life is fucking up my show. Ratings are going down... my personal TVQ is going down... and worst of all, Seth... the quality of my babes is going down. You're not mad at me, though, right? - Come on. Let's go smoke. - Yeah. Here. My God. My hair's falling out. You know, stress will do that to you. Holy shit. It's really falling out. That's so weird. Oh, my God. Jesus. What did you do to me? I didn't do anything. You must have used my hair remover instead of your conditioner. You put some in there to fuck with me! I didn't do it. I swear. Man, you are the fucking devil! Good morning. You've got 15 seconds. Go. - You need extra-strength Rogaine. - You look like a big-ass roll-on. Mr. Clean called. He wants his look back. You look like a prick with two ears. With two together, we'd have an ass. Take some skin and comb it over. It will look fuller. Time. Gracie, look at all your new roommates. But you're still my favorite. My, what a testive little dinner party. - Nice rug. - Thank you. Going for a Chuck Woolery thing. By the way, a couple of Gracie's new friends... accidentally knocked your Elvis plates off the shelf. Accidentally? I think they were bungee jumping. You know how they love that. So you moved into the nursery. You figured it was only temporary... because next week was the settlement conference... for Chelsea's palimony suit. And after that, she'd be gone. I want to know just what it's going to take to settle this case? Your Honor, all my client wants is justice. How much is justice going for today? It's very difficult to put a price on a heart shattered by betrayal. I'm sure you can find a way. How much? It really isn't all that simple. Your Honor, Seth begged me to quit my job and move in with him. I turned his empty, cold house... into a warm, cozy love nest. I took care of his every need and desire... because he promised to marry me! Bullshit. Perhaps Mr. Winnick should suck a cough drop. I'm good. We're not here to try this case, we're here to settle it. Your Honor, my client is willing to forego her pursuit of justice... for the more than reasonable sum of... Halt a million dollars? You two should be wearing ski masks and carrying guns. This is fucking robbery. Mr. Winnick, watch your mouth. Sorry. We believe he's suffering from Tourette's syndrome. - Fucker! - You see? A trial is a year away at least. During that time, you'll spend a half a million dollars... in legal fees alone. Walter, you're a lawyer. So I'm sure you're familiar with the legal term "suck my dick." I think not! - There goes that Tourette's again. - This is unbelievable. - I won't put up with this! - He does not have Tourette's. - This is a ransom note. - You're such a liar. You lie. People, shut the hell up! For the love of God. This mandatory settlement conference is over. I'm ordering that neither party... annoy or molest the other in any way... until this matter is resolved! Yes, Your Honor. Schmucks. I'm checking into the spa this weekend... so I'll be out of your hair... or your rug. - Don't forget to feed the cats. - I'll feed them. Feed them to the coyotes. Chelsea Turner checking in, please. - Welcome to the spa. - Thank you. Your reservation was canceled. And the hotel is sold out. Canceled? I didn't cancel anything. - Excuse me, ma'am. - Hi. - Which way to the massage center? - It's right over there, sir. Terrific. Have a lovely day. - And you too. - Nice people. Lovely rooms. Life is good. Relax. Feel the clay mask and seaweed wrap... melt away your stress. Now keep your eyes closed. That feels nice. - Time for your next treatment. - Great. What's next? The super cleansing colonic volcano. Colonic? Isn't that where you go through the... You know what? I think I'm going to pass... on the super cleansing colonic volcano. - But thank you. - Your wife said you might be nervous. Yeah, well, that's not my wife. That's Lucifer, angel of darkness. He can change forms. Please unwrap me. I can't move. Just relax. Drop the probe and step away from my ass! Take a deep breath and just go with the flow. But... No flow. Don't want the flow. Don't need the... I feel you clenching. Now, no clenching. Have you done this before? Very professional. Fill your lungs with air. You have lovely lungs. Hello. Hi. You look super clean. Yeah, I can't walk so good, but I feel 20 pounds lighter. - Can we talk? - Bad timing, pal. - We're mid-pump. - Yeah, thank you. Could we call a truce? I can't take this anymore. I'm sure that we can settle this. Just you and me, no lawyers. Speaking of lawyers, you're annoying and molesting me. What? Back off, toothpick. How about this? - Are you listening? - Not really. I give you $50,000. You move out. Everyone's happy. I'm not happy yet, but keep trying. How about this? An even 100 grand. An extremely fair offer. Come on. You know we still care about each other. Let's just stop fighting. Wouldn't that be nice? Yes. Wait a second. Yes, that would be nice or, yes, we have a deal? Yes, we have a deal. Hi, toothpick. What? Don't scream at me. Talk to the Sasquatch. - You could have let go of me! - You could have not been flirting. - Shut up. - You shut up. - What are you doing? - What are you doing? - I hate you. - I hate you more. - I wish I never met you. - God, you make me sick! - You turn my stomach! - Don't stop. - Don't tell me what to do! - Then shut up and do it faster! You shut up and do it faster. God, that feels good! - Oh, God! - Me too! - That was different. - That was great. Do you think it's better if you hate the other person? Definitely. You thought the lawsuit was over... until you got that call from your lawyer. Sorry about that. Gotta get those brakes fixed. - What are you doing here? - Making sure there's no trouble. How are you? What's with this 200 grand bullshit? Walter said it wouldn't kill you to be a little more generous. Walter is on a percentage. So the more that Walter squeezes out of me... the more that goes into Walter's pocket. We shook hands. - We had sex. - Hate sex. - Here's more good news. - What? A restraining order. It states you shall vacate the premises immediately... and shall not travel within 200 feet of Miss Turner's residence. All contact to be made through your attorneys. How'd you swing this? Walter told the judge how you followed me... to the spa and were stalking me. - It wasn't my idea. - You didn't try and stop him. So I can't live in my house? You've got 15 minutes to collect your things. Bite me. In fact, both of you can bite me. You should have married me. So what, she has your house? You still get the tax write-off. The blessing-in-disguise bullshit doesn't work. That just makes me more bitter. But thank you. Hi, guys. Hey, sweetheart. - It looks like Seth's moved in. - He just needs a place to crash. I don't think that's a good idea. - Why not? - Suppose Chelsea came to visit me? Wouldn't that be awkward? Let's not worry about hypothetical situations. Now can we worry? You really shouldn't be this close. It I wasn't such a nice person, I could have you arrested. You call the police because I'm staying here... and, technically, you're in my home. That decision has not been finalized. Larry said it was okay. - But Larry forgot to check with me. - Bad Larry. Can't you two try and work this thing out? I offered her 100 grand. She says she wants 200. Are you crazy? You do not owe her a penny! Sweetie, I think that's for a jury to decide. You think she should get paid for being his girlfriend? Chelsea invested her time and her love and her body! But they weren't married. If you walk down the aisle, that's one thing. There's a chance you may get the shaft. Wait. You're saying alimony is untair? My point is she's acting like a hooker... that's trying to get a court to make her trick pay up. - Don't call my best friend a hooker. - You're right. A hooker lets you know the price up front. The bottom line is... I do not want this bald-headed, wig-wearing man staying here. Too late. I already told him... he could stay in my house! - Your house? - Yeah. Have you ever heard of community property, Lawrence? We need a room. Would you like two queens or one king size bed? Two queens. The beds, not us. I bought some roses and went crawling back to my wife... but you hit the mini bar and got wasted. - You don't want me to move in? - Of course, I want you to move in. Then what is this pre-prenuptial agreement all about? It just says if we ever break up, you can't sue me. Why would I sue you? And why would we break up? We wouldn't, honey. You can sign this knowing... that it's completely unnecessary. - Then why bother? - Who knows? Maybe someday, you'll get mad at me for something. How about for making me sign this agreement? And then it hit you. There was only one way out of this mess. Gracie, it's me. I'm sorry, baby, but you left me no choice. Yes, Elvis. Daddy's back. You're probably a little upset with me. Upset? No, I'm thrilled. Because kidnapping is a felony, which means you're going to jail. Then you'll know what it's like to be the angry girlfriend. Look... I'm sorry about the chloroform... but I had to get you here. It's the perfect place to do this. You will never get away with this. They will know that you killed me. Do you think I would actually kill you? Sure, I've thought about it. Every day. But the sad fact is... I'm crazy about you. Look. I think there's a reason... that you couldn't just take the money and move on. We belong together. Hell, we deserve each other. - What are you doing? - Eddie. Our long, dark night is over. My darling... - Yeah. - Don't even think of doing this. It is way too late to try... Oh, God! Four carats. Colorless. Grade E. Clarity: VVS-1. Emerald cut. It's pertect. Will you marry me? If this is a joke, I will kill you. No joke and no prenup either. This time, what's mine is yours. And we're selling the house full of bad memories. Good God, it's like the Manson Ranch over there. We'll just buy another one. Fresh start. So we've had a few bad months. We're gonna be happy the rest of our lives. We'll just fly to Vegas and do it. Vegas? When I get married, I want white doves and the horse-drawn carriage. I want all of my friends and family there. I want everything to be pertect. Our ffriends and our families already think that we're insane. Do you think that anybody would even come? Hell, no. Let's just get married. And then when they see we are making it work... then we'll renew our vows... and have the big wedding. Will you marry me? Come on, baby. Don't think about it. Just say yes. I'll help you. - Yes. - Yes? Come here, woman! Holly and I were the first to hear the wonderful news. You're a moron. That's not very professional, is it? I'll need papers dismissing the palimony suit. We'll sign them right before we get married. I better start on the prenup. No need. We're in love. We're never breaking up again. You put your house up for sale. We want a ten-day escrow. We can't wait to move in. - Ten days? - It's okay, sweetie. We just rent while we look for our dream house. - Ten days. You got a deal. - Excellent. You had Chelsea's ring appraised and insured for $75,000. Damn! Chelsea picked out her wedding gown. She was in heaven, and so were you. You turned Ronnie and Juliet back into the show that everyone loved. Come on, Jules. Let's go eat Mexican. Cutie, I feel like Chinese. - You know the cure for that? - What? Chicken burritos. All of a sudden I'm craving egg foo young. - I love you. - I love you more. No, I do. And cut! I'm going home. Cover for me. Great show. The love is back. The ratings are back. And my babes are back. I've got an idea. I think Ronnie and Juliet should get married for May sweeps. I'm getting married myself. Not to the psycho lawsuit girl. Her name is Chelsea, and she's right here. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard so much about you. - Thank you. - So here we are. Seth, for the last time, I'm begging you: - Call it off! - You know what? It I'd just married her to begin with... none of this shit would have happened. So just wish me luck. You need more than luck. You need Jesus, Moses. - Muhammad. Buddha. - Thank God. - It's about time. - I'm not going in there. Hello. What were those men doing in there? We're plumbers. Yeah. - Well-dressed plumbers. Go on. - Do your thing, little man. - Baby, we're getting married! - That's right, little darling! And what better place than in Viva Las Vegas! This is great. We'll tie the knot, a little gambling, some hookers... - Honey... - Okay, no gambling. This place is classy! Thank you very much. You're a fantastic audience. In the words of the king... Iove each other tender and don't be cruel. That way you'll never be all shook up in heartbreak hotel. Do you take Seth to be your lawful wedded husband... for better or worse... richer or poorer... as long as you both shall live? I do. Do you take Chelsea as your lawfully wedded bride... for better or worse, richer or poorer... as long as you both shall live? L... I don't think so. What? Thank God. Security! Keep an eye on the bride. - She's got a wee bit of a temper. - No problem. Make sure you stick between us. You're not marrying me? Why not, son? That was a beautitul ceremony. It was lovely, but the fact remains... that when we broke up, she hired a prick lawyer... and sued me for palimony. But today Chelsea dismissed her lawsuit... and she moved out of my home... forfeiting any legal claim to live there. Your stuff is in the Store-lt-All, unit 48. - Did you know anything about this? - I swear, I don't know anything. Nobody knew except for my dentist and his assistant... who bought my home and will be selling it back to me tomorrow. - He didn't. - I think he did. And my jeweler who said that piece of glass... on her finger was worth 75 grand. But we're in Vegas. - Let's party! - You're the devil in disguise Yes, you are You fooled me with your kisses He's lost his damn mind. What the hell is he... Heaven knows how you lied to me You look like an angel Walk like an angel Talk like an angel But I got mine She shot me in the ass! - I got her! - Somebody call an ambulance. Wait! Give me the gun! There's still four bullets left! Stop wiggling, ma'am. Watch it! There's a bullet in there! - I'll see you in court! - I'll see you in jail! Yeah? I'll sue you for tricking me into signing that dismissal. I will sue your ass for damages... for damaging my ass! Watch your head, ma'am. Pull in the train, ma'am. Be careful with the dress! I will get married someday! Someday, ma'am. Why are you arresting me? He's the one who should be arrested! He's the one who lied and made me temporarily insane! You have put me off women. I'm gay now! That's right! And not just a little gay! Full-on, Liberace gay! I like show tunes! You asshole! Back to hell, demon! - We need new friends. - Yeah. You want to stay on your stomach, sir? Pal, that's not where the bullet is. I'm not really gay, all right? God! Can you believe that creep wouldn't marry me? - No, ma'am. - You'd marry me, right? - No, ma'am. - Of course you would. I'm tall. I'm thin. I'm adorable. Don't make me gag you, ma'am. |
