• Gigi : [opens the door, thinking it's Bill]  Did you forget something?

  Alex : Yeah...

  Gigi : Really? What did you forget?

  Alex : [pulls out a promotional pen from his pocket]  This.

  Gigi : So you came all the way here at 11 o' clock in the night to give me a promotional pen?

  Alex : Yeah... Yeah, I did. I thought I would come up with some really great excuse to get over here. That's how it's done, right?

  Gigi : [smiles]  Sometimes.

  Alex : Look, I can't stop thinking about you. I... It's a problem. I drive by your place; I call and hang up; I've turned into...

  Gigi : Me.

  Alex : Yeah.

  Gigi : A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen, no matter what.

  Alex : That's true.

  Gigi : But when I was hurling my body onto yours, you did not seem to want to make it happen.

  Alex : Okay, yeah, here's the thing about that... You were right. I'd gotten so used to keeping myself at a safe distance from all these women and having the power that, that I didn't know what it felt like when I actually fell for one of them... I didn't know.

  Gigi : Look, I just went out with your friend Bill. He might be just exactly what I need. No drama, he calls; he does what he says...

  Alex : [stepping closer]  I can do that stuff too...

  Gigi : But you didn't! And that same wise person told me that I'm the rule. That I have to stop thinking that every guy will change, that I have to stop thinking that...

  Gigi : [Alex kisses her] 

  [smiles] 

  Gigi : ... I'm the exception...

  Alex : [whispers]  You are *my* exception.

  [they kiss again] 

• Alex : So trust me when I say if a guy is treating you like he doesn't give a shit, he genuinely doesn't give a shit. No exceptions.

• Gigi : Hey sorry to bug you again! Uh quick question.

  Alex : What's going on?

  Gigi : Ok I'm making out with this guy, PG stuff. but he mentions he's going out of town so he's gonna be out of touch.

  Alex : Run.

  Gigi : But maybe he is going out of town.

  Alex : To where? New Guinea? Where's he gonna be that he's gonna be out of touch?

  Gigi : Opens bathroom door - Where are you going out of town to again?

  Gigi : Pittsburgh

  Alex : Run.

  Gigi : So what now I'm just supposed to turn from every guy who doesn't like me?

  Alex : Uh. Yeah!

  Gigi : There's not gonna be anybody left.

• Alex : If a guy doesn't call you, he doesn't want to call you.

• Alex : Hey, Kelli Ann. Uh, did I get any calls?

  Kelli Ann : Since you asked me 11 mins ago, no, not a lot of phone traffic.

  Alex : [obsessively checks phone for signal] 

  Kelli Ann : Oh, my God.

  Alex : What?

  Kelli Ann : What's her name?

  Alex : Who?

  Kelli Ann : The girl... Alex.

  Alex : There's no girl.

  Kelli Ann : You can't hide it, man. I know strung out, and YOU are strung out.

  Alex : Please.

  Kelli Ann : This is amazing. You can't focus. Right? Jumping every time your phone rings. Checking your e-mail a hundred times a day. Wishing you could write songs.

  Alex : [laughs] 

  Kelli Ann : No. Feeling the need to bring up her name in random conversations. It's always the same and it has happened to you, my friend.

  Alex : Shit.

  Kelli Ann : Welcome to my world, asshole. Let me get the door.

• Gigi : I would rather be like that, then be like you.

  Alex : Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean?

  Gigi : I may dissect each little thing and put myself out there so much but at least that means that I still care. Oh! You've think you won because women are expendable to you. You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone. I may do a lot of stupid shit but I'm still a lot closer to love than you are.

• Alex : I'm sorry I'm late.

  Gigi : No, it's okay. I like a little time before a blind date; prepare myself mentally;

  [He puts a hand on her shoulder] 

  Gigi : remind myself not to tell the story about my molars.

  Alex : Ah, Gigi, he's not coming. But you can tell me the story about the molars; I'd love to hear it.

• Alex : I dunno... I like you

  Gigi : [She's taken aback]  You do?

  Alex : Well, yeah, okay, don't start doodling my name on your binder, okay.

• Gigi : [Answering machine answers, Gigi's voice:]  Or call my cell, or try me at work but definitely leave a message here first. Thanks!

  Alex : Hey, Gigi. It's Alex, um, how's it going?

  [He starts to pace] 

  Alex : Uh, just wondering how you're doing. I haven't talked to you in a little while and, uh, just wondering how you're doing.

  [He sits on the couch] 

  Alex : So... I was hoping to talk to you... obviously. But you're out, I guess. So, just call me some time. Or tonight, uh, in around... uh, I'll be in around... that's, that's... not... now. It's Alex. Okay.

  [He hangs up the phone] 

  Tyrone : Dude.

  Alex : [He looks down]  I know.

• Alex : I really gotta go to bed.

  Gigi : Is that an invitation?

  Alex : What?

  Gigi : Oh god, That was cheesy.

• Gigi : Maybe his grandma died or maybe he lost my number or is out of town or got hit by a cab...

  Alex : Or maybe he is not interested in seeing you again.

• Alex : He is not interested.
