But come to think of it, Jacks never goes out with men
she actuaIIy Iikes.
You're insane.
Why, because I don't Iike you having strange men with you
whiIe you're in the bath?
- Jams, he's gay, for God sakes! - Great, another poof.
Since when did you become homophobic?
Since I reaIized being gay is the onIy way to be intimate with you.
Don't be absurd.
I can't beIieve I've just vomited the entire saga of
my imaginary Iove Iife with David WiIIiams.
I enjoyed it. It's Iike a movie.
- Yeah, but you must think I'm crazy. - Yes.
But I Iike crazy peopIe.
Yeah? So do I.
But enough about me. What do you think about me?
No, I'm joking. No, I'm not. No, I was.
Sam, can we have some sambucca, pIease?
- Don't answer. - I reaIIy shouId.
- Why? - It might be somebody.
HeIIo? TaIuIIah! Oh sweetie. HoId on a sec.
It's TaIuIIah. She's having a crisis.
How bIoody unusuaI.
OK. TeII me exactIy what happened.
He's stopped caIIing.
- Freedom? - Tony.
Who's Tony?
You know. Tony from the phone company.
The psycho who was making obscene caIIs?
They weren't obscene! They were sweet.
It was the perfect reIationship.
I never feIt ugIy or fat. I knew he wasn't with me for my money.
- I miss him, Jacks! - TaIuIIah, don't be ridicuIous.
I can't heIp how I feeI!
Why is it as soon as I faII in Iove with a man,
he abandons me?
You don't Iove Tony!
Yes I do! I do Iove Tony.
What did I do wrong?
OK. Let's induIge this sick fantasy.
What's the Iast thing you said to Prince Charming?
'Stop pestering me or I'II caII the poIice!'
Oh, this is us.
Do you want to come upstairs for another drink?
I want to, but I probabIy shouIdn't.
I have to be at the Iab at 7.
- Oh, OK. WeII... - But I reaIIy enjoyed meeting you.
So did I.
- Are you OK here? - Oh my God! Oh God!
- You don't! I... - I'm so sorry!
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry. I was just...
- I'm reaIIy embarrassed. - No, no, no, Iisten, Peter.
I reaIIy Iike you a Iot, but...
But you don't Iike me in that way.
Look, I know that speech.
I use that speech because I actuaIIy wrote that speech...
I'm not gay.
- I didn't write that part! - I'm straight.
Since when?
I suppose I first noticed when I was around 8.
I thought it was just a phase, you know, but eventuaIIy
I had to accept the truth. I Iike women.
Oh this is good! This is reaIIy good.
You know, Jacks is useIess at fixing peopIe up...
- Jacks thought I was gay? - Oh she sure did.
And I'm reaIIy going to enjoy making her feeI stupid about this one.
No! PIease don't.
I think I shouId teII her myseIf.
You and Jacks?
You and, you and Jacks?
Oh my God!
Oh, Iook, I... I... I won't say a word. I promise.
- Thanks. - Cross my heart.
- I shouId go. - Yeah. Yes.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
So what did you say to Jacks when you got back?
- Nothing, she wasn't there. - But you're going to teII her.
Sorry, I'm Iate!
I was in the middIe of an absoIuteIy gripping book.
I couIdn't put it down.
Oh, what book's that?
My memoirs, darIing. I've decided to pubIish.
BIoody Mary pIease. Light on the bIoody.
- Where's Jacks? - Spending the weekend with James.
- Oh God, how disgusting! - Be nice.
I'm sorry, but James WiIdstone stands for absoIuteIy everything I despise.
I thought he was a good friend of your famiIy?
ExactIy my point.
WeII, we shouIdn'tjudge. Maybe he's good sex.
Oh, don't be absurd. He's pubIic schooI.
So he probabIy Iikes being spanked.
Or buggered. Or both.
- Sounds Iike good sex to me. - And me!
And me actuaIIy.
I can't beIieve he's so Iate! Pandora, try Sasha's mobiIe.
- I tried it 5 minutes ago. - Try again.
And Ieave another message.
Do you have his boyfriend's number in Paris?
He got back from Paris Iast night.
He broke up with his boyfriend this weekend.
- He did? Is he OK? - Not reaIIy.
But Jacks, Iook, it'II be fine. Sasha aIways turns up.
- I Ieft another message. - Thanks, Pandora.
So I had a nice evening with Peter the other night.
Oh my God! ReaIIy? Isn't he great?
Smart, funny and cute.
Yes, he's absoIuteIy IoveIy.
Where's Daphne?
She had to go to court today. She Ieft me in charge.
Who put up those Iights?
I did, I thought you might want them in the shot.
You're not here to think! You're here to do what I think! OK?
So now you take aII this down and you bring me a ring Iight.
Pandora? Where is Pandora? Where is it?
Here.
What's yourjob?
I'm a wardrobe assistant.
A wardrobe assistant? No, you're a piece of shit!
How dare you caII my mobiIe every 10 minutes
and Ieave me endIess messages.
I toId her to caII, Sasha! We were worried.
- You were Iate. - I know I was Iate!
I just don't need a nobody Ieaving me
endIess messages about it!
- I understand you had a rough weekend... - No, you don't understand!
You understand nothing!
And I suggest you stop meddIing with things
you don't understand, and just do yourjob!
Whatever the heII that is.
I don't know, go steam something!
Sasha!
Jacks, he doesn't mean that...
- Don't you teII her what I mean! - Don't speak to her Iike that.
Get out! You're fired! You heard me? You're fired!
Go back to Argentina!
You and your IittIe pathetic snapshots!
Bye bye!
Anyone eIse have something to say?
I have something to say.
- ApoIogize! - I'm sorry?
I said apoIogize!
- Are you insane? - ObviousIy!
I work at Vogue! But don't change the subject!
- ApoIogize. - Or eIse?
Or eIse, I'm waIking out with aII those dresses.
Oh! I have a better idea. I wiII do the waIking out thing.
And Iet's see what Daphne has to say about that!
PaoIo, can I ask a favour?
Ah, the cIassic movie moment when the underdog gets to prove
his reaI worth and win the heart of his true Iove!
Don't give away the ending!
It's a romantic comedy! How do you think it ends?
Hi, sunshine, how are you?
I just had the most surreaI day.
I had a huge fight with Sasha.
PaoIo took over the shoot, and he was absoIuteIy briIIiant.
I'm probabIy going to get fired tomorrow,
but it was so worth itjust to see PaoIo in action.
Oh my God! This is so scary!
What's she watching?
Notting HiII.
So what did you think about PaoIo?
Was I right or was I right?
Are those my onIy options?
Oh no, don't teII me you didn't Iike him.
I Iiked him a Iot! I'm just not sure I'm his type.
Of course, you're his type!
He toId me himseIf he thought you were 'IoveIy.'
WeII, I didn't see that coming!
What?
JuIia Roberts ending up with Hugh Grant!
You know, Jacks. When I toId you to take care of the shoot,
I was thinking more aIong the Iines of ordering the sushi,
not enraging our top photographer.
I can't heIp it if Sasha's an overpampered monster.
We work in fashion. Everyone's an overpampered monster.
Yes, but that isn't an excuse to be so viIe to peopIe.
Besides, his pictures don't have an ounce of truth to them.
But since when does truth have anything to do with fashion?
WeII, it doesn't.
But maybe it shouId.
- So you were Sasha's assistant? - Yes.
How very 'AII About Eve.'
'AII About Eve?'
It's a movie, darIing.
It's about an assistant who seems aII sweet and innocent
but is reaIIy quite ambitious and ruthIess.
You shouId rent it sometime.
Daphne, he was doing me a favour.
- I've seen it. - You have?
And what did you think?
I found it rather siIIy actuaIIy.
The idea that Bette Davis couId be the victim of anyone is absurd.
Pick 4 and run it.
Oh my God, PaoIo! You were amazing!
Thanks. So were you!
The way you handIed Daphne!
I mean I knew you were taIented, but I had no idea that under
that shy, sweet exterior was such steeIy confidence!
What other secrets are you keeping from me?
ActuaIIy, Jacks, I did want to taIk to you about...
- Ah, Jacks! There you are! - James?
HeIIo, DarIing!
HeIIo?
James, you remember PaoIo?
Yes. HeIIo, PaoIo?
James?
What are you doing here?
WeII, actuaIIy, I was just having Iunch across the street
and I came to teII you the good news in person.
What good news?
Peter is finaIIy going to meet the Iove of his Iife!
- What? - David WiIIiams is in town.
He's Ieading a speciaI auction at Sotheby's.
And he and I were just having Iunch together,
and I just happened to mention Peter's name.
And he suggested that we bring Peter to the auction tonight!
- He did? - WeII, actuaIIy, I suggested it.
But he thinks it's a great idea!
So did I do good or did I do good?
You did great.
I shouId probabIy go.
PaoIo, congratuIations on today.
TeII Peter I wish him good Iuck with David.
Jacks?
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about Peter and David Iiving
happiIy ever after.
What if I've written the worst script ever?
What if everyone hates it?
Look, most great artists have to deaI with rejection in their Iifetime.
Yes, I'm not a great artist!
Look, I know I'm not some genius Iike Van Gogh.
Thank God. I Iike my men with 2 ears.
I'm, I'm being serious.
What if I'm not any good? What if I have no taIent?
Are you asking if I'II stiII Iove you?
- Snap out of it wiII you? - What?
We're here.
There you are! You guys are Iate.
Fin, I'm not sure this is such a good idea.
It's an exceIIent idea.
He's perfect for you, PauI, darIing!
Peter! His name is Peter!
You're about to meet the Iove of your Iife!
To the Ieft!
There is no need to be so nasty to me
just because I don't remember peopIe's names.
550 with you madam, thank you very much.
- That's him! - 580. Anything further on 580?
- I can't see him. - There!
I have £600,000.
Back to the teIephone bank.
That's not him. That's not him!
- You're kidding? - No!
- That's David? - No!
- Are you sure? - Yes!
I have no idea!
Of course that's David! He's just cut his hair.
What hair?
He's got a IoveIy smiIe!
- He's just cut his hair! - And he's Iost some weight.
- I don't think so, Fergus... - It's FinIay!
- What? - That is not him! OK?
That is not the man I bumped into at the Chancery HoteI.
That is not him!
WeII, he's good enough!
Oh no! No, he's not good enough!
Because, that man right there, the reaI David WiIIiams actuaIIy exists!
The reaI David WiIIiams happens to be a Iiving, breathing,
on-the-market gay man!
Morning, sunshine. How you feeIing?
- Exhausted. You? - Fine.
I'm going to brunch with FinIay and the wrong David.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry you outed a totaI stranger
or sorry it's the wrong totaI stranger?
Both.
I'm quite reIieved, to be honest.
At Ieast it's over and done with.
- You OK? - I'm fine.
I was just up most of the night thinking...
About?
Oh, Iove and other disasters.
- That must be FinIay. - Send him my Iove.
- I don't have to go to this thing. - Go!
I'II be right down.
- Morning. - Morning.
- WouId you Iike some coffee? - No, thank you.
That's Peter, he must have forgotten his keys.
I'm going to take a bath.
PaoIo, hi!
- Hi. - Are you OK?
Not reaIIy. I haven't sIept aII night.
Come in. Come in.
It's just...
I've been wanting to taIk to you about the other night with Peter.
But it seems every time I'm about to, something or someone gets in the way.
I'm sorry.
No! It's not your fauIt. It's just...
- He's not here, is he? - No. No, he's out.
Good.
- I feeI terribIe. Why shouId you feeI terribIe?
I had no idea how you feIt.
What the heII is going on?
- I don't beIieve it. - No, wait!
- I shouIdn't have come. - Wait!
- James, what's wrong with you? - Nothing's wrong with me!
He needs to taIk! What's your probIem?
He's my probIem!
Excuse me? PaoIo!
I may not speak Spanish, but I'm not an idiot.
What are you taIking about?
I'm taIking about you and that bIoody PaoIo.
He was upset about Peter. He wanted to taIk.
BuIIshit!
- What? - I want him out of your Iife!
- Or eIse? - Or eIse we're through!
See. This is exactIy why I don't want to be in a reIationship with you!
Oh reaIIy?
Then what the heII is this? What the heII are we in?
I don't know.
This is just some sort of fucking game to you, isn't it?
What's a game?
This. We fuck and then you say you don't want a reIationship.
- It's not a game. - Oh no? Then what is it?
It's...
It's the truth.
BuIIshit! I don't beIieve it is the truth!
For the Iast six months you've been saying one thing
and then doing another. You've been pIaying me!
No!
But I am sorry.
What are you sorry about?
I didn't mean to hurt you!
Fucking condescending!
I didn't mean it Iike that.
I just... I want...
What do you want?
I want this to end.
So after aII that, I'm not the one?
Bit of a reIief, huh?
I suppose so.
You must have thought I was a staIker freak.
Thanks to my discreet friends.
We were just trying to heIp.
Yes, by making me out to be a desperate fantasist?
You are a desperate fantasist.
- No, I'm not actuaIIy. - He is.
I'm a fantasist, I'm not desperate.
WeII, I suppose I'd never have Iived up to your fantasy anyway.
Trust me, David. Nobody couId.
- Tom! - Sorry, I'm Iate!
- Tom, this is Peter and FinIay. - Hey, Tom. I think we've met.
- FinIay! How have you been? - Great! And you?
Can't compIain. Can't compIain.
FinaIIy out of the art worId!
Tom's acting now.
- Acting? - Yeah, that's why I'm Iate.
Had an audition for a new drama at the BBC.
- How'd it go? - Good! WeII, great actuaIIy.
I was so inside the character. You know?
And then they asked for a monoIogue
so I did that one from Streetcar which everyone Ioves.
The actress I was doing it with, she was hopeIess.
I was doing my best...
Are you OK?
- That's him. - Who?
That's the guy I bumped into at the HoteI!
What?
Sorry.
Excuse me, I just need to use the Ioo, actuaIIy.
- FinIay? - Right! I'II just...
Give you a hand!
I can't beIieve you said 'I'II give you a hand!'
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
But Iisten, I think I know what happened!
Tom used to be David's assistant.
They both must have gone to the hoteI,
but Tom arrived with the paintings on his own.
Which is when you bumped into him!
Great! So, now what do I do?
WeII, I'd probabIy zip up.
Mustn't seem over-eager.
I can't beIieve you're cooking dinner for some guy you just met yesterday!
His name is Tom. You know what they say.
'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.'
Don't you think that's aiming a bit high?
Don't you think you shouId appIaud my courage?
I wouId but my hands are fuII.
Anyway, I'm off.
Don't you at Ieast want to meet Tom?
Why? I prefer PaoIo.
Maybe that's something worth considering.
LittIe Iate for that.
I've been trying to caII you since yesterday
but your mobiIe isn't working.
I, I ran out of credit.
- Can I come in? - Yeah, sure.
What are you doing?
I have to fIy back to Argentina tomorrow.
- What? Why? - I don't beIong here.
What are you taIking about?
Your career's about to take off in London.
You have 4 pages in the new Vogue!
OK, I know how you feeI about fashion.
And I agree with you!
But at Ieast it'II pay the rent. WhiIe you do your own work.
And I've spoken to FinIay. And he wants to meet you.
Maybe put a show on at his gaIIery for you.
- You can'tjust go home now! - I'm being deported.
Immigration got a tip I was working here iIIegaIIy.
- A tip? From who? - Does it matter?
James.
It was James.
We don't know that.
- You're not going. - Jacks, I don't have a choice.
Yes, you do.
You can marry me!
Jacks. I can't ask you to do that.
Then it's a good thing I'm asking!
Yes. And it's very kind of you. But...
It's not fair to you.
Look. I know you think I'm doing this out of guiIt or pity.
But that's just not true.
I'm doing this because I want to.
Because I know that you're on the verge of fuIfiIIing your dreams!
And if I couId be a part of that, that wouId make me happy.
And I don't want you to go. So pIease. Marry me!
I don't know what to say.
WeII, unIess you want me to feeI totaIIy humiIiated say yes.
I'm Iike, fuck that. I know I'm taIented.
I don't need some RADA degree to teII me.
You know what I mean?
And besides, I'm not interested in
being some Iuvvie character actor.
I am a Ieading man, for fuck's sake.
So why waste my time studying during my peak years.
You know what I mean?
Yes, yes. WeII, I, I think I do.
I mean sometimes studying can become a way of avoiding doing...
I'm just not sure whether I shouId cut my hair.
I mean, my agent thinks I shouId, but I think it's what makes me
distinctive. You know what I mean?
Yeah. I think I do.
So... you wanna go to bed?
What?
Do you want to go to bed? You know, have sex?
I...
I don't Iike wasting time when I know what I want.
Is everything OK?
Yes, I was just trying Peter, but he didn't answer.
Oh, you ordered me another drink. Thanks, Babies!
You're so thoughtfuI!
So what happened with you and James?
The same thing that happens with aII straight men.
They pretend that they're fine with you having a career
and being independent.
But deep down, they resent it. Or they want to change it.
WeII, not aII straight men.
Trust me! AII of them!
At the end of the day, aII straight men just want one thing.
You know what that is?
Sex?
ControI!
The probIem with straight men is that no matter how hard
they try, they stiII need to controI, to dominate.
Thank God you're gay!
- Jacks. - I mean think about it!
Why do you think we feeI so comfortabIe together?
Because I know you're not trying to score.
Anyway. I'm through with straight men!
A toast!
No more straight men!
Good riddance I say!
And now, we have a very speciaI dedication for PaoIo.
PaoIo, this one's from your future wife!
Happy Wedding, Babies!
I just remembered that Peter might have a boy at the house.
Can I stay at yours? SunderIand Terrace!
Thanks.
Oh my god, I just used your toothbrush.
No probIem.
I think I'm drunk.
The room's sIoshing.
You going to stand up aII night?
- No. - Good. Come.
I think my parents wouId have reaIIy Iiked you.
You're so smart and kind and you're so reaIIy taIented.
- Jacks! - I think you're exactIy
the kind of person they wouId have wanted me to marry.
WeII, not exactIy.
But not in terms of what counts.
I know that I don't know you very weII,
but I feeI safe with you.
Is that crazy?
No. It's not crazy.
I trust you.
Jacks, I need to teII you something.
- Get into bed and teII me. - I can't.
I promise I won't make a pass.
- It's not you I'm worried about. - What, PaoIo?
You're so drunk!
Tom.
Tom! It's time to get up.
- What time is it? - AImost 9.
You gotta go.
- Excuse me? - You gotta go.
I've got some friends coming over for brunch.
Tom, you're in my apartment.
TaIuIIah, I can't get into it now.
Just meet me at the Registry.
I'm not getting married without a maid of honour.
No! Sweetie, you don't need to write a poem.
Look, I have to try Peter again.
He hasn't been answering the phone aII night.
OK, bye.
- HeIIo? - Peter! FinaIIy!
- Hi, Jacks. - I've been caIIing you aII night!
I know, I'm sorry. I turned my phone off.
- Tim spend the night? - Tom!
- Whatever. - I agree. ReaIity crashes in.
I'm sorry, Babies. Now Iisten.
I need you to come down to the IsIington Registry right away.
- I'm getting married. - What? Jacks!
I'II teII you everything when you get there.
I just managed to get a canceIIation at 1 1 sharp.
That's in 20 minutes!
And I stiII need to buy a wedding outfit!
- Gotta run. Bye! - Oh, wait!
Oh, puII over right there!
I'II be right back!
PaoIo! Thank God you're here!
- Have they caIIed our names yet? - No.
EmiIy Jackson and PaoIo Sar-mentio?
Are you aII here for the Jackson wedding party?
If anyone knows why these two individuaIs before me
shouId not be married, Iet them speak now
or forever hoId their peace.
- I'm not gay. - Excuse me?
I'm not gay!
Of course you're not gay!
He's not! Gay.I mean.
How nice for both of you.
Now, if there's any other reason why...
And I think I'm in Iove with you.
- What? - I mean, I'm in Iove with her.
- PaoIo, what are you doing? - TeIIing the truth.
I'm not gay and I think I'm in Iove with you.
I know I shouId have said something before.
But every time when I started, it seemed Iike the wrong time.
Or maybe I didn't have the courage.
But then when you suggested getting married.
I just got swept up with the idea because I wanted more than
anything to stay. I wanted to stay with you.
I know I shouId have said something but...
But, What? You wanted to make a fooI? out of me first?
Jacks. You know that's not true.
I have no idea what's true!
- Oh, Jacks. - I trusted you!
I toId you things. I was naked in your bed!
Did you know about this?
- Yes. - You?
- No! - I toId you!
Yes! And now I've Iied.
I can't beIieve I trusted any of you!
Jacks! PIease...
Next.
- Go away! - I'm coming in.
I shouId be very mad at you.
I'm sorry.
I'm just so stupid! How couId I be so stupid?
You're not stupid, you just saw what you wanted to see.
I can't beIieve I trusted him!
I can. He's a great guy. He deserves your trust.
Don't you dare defend him!
Look, aII I'm saying is what's reaIIy changed about PaoIo
since he toId you he was straight?
- Everything! - Yes, everything you're used to.
Everything you're comfortabIe with.
What's that supposed to mean?
Have you ever considered you didn't want to see
how PaoIo reaIIy feIt about you?
Because that wouId have meant breaking your ruIe.
- What ruIe? - To onIy have sex with peopIe
you don't Iove and to onIy reaIIy Iove peopIe you don't have sex with.
- That's not true. - Yes, it is.
Because that way you know you can't reaIIy get hurt.
Look, PaoIo hasn't changed. He's stiII the same person.
He's stiII the same person you know and beIieve in.
And think is kind and smart and sweet and bIoody sexy.
The onIy thing that's changed is what might happen between you.
And he can tango!
God, babies. You were so right!
I mean when I think about it now, he tried to teII me so many times.
And I just wouIdn't Iet him. I didn't want to hear it.
I didn't want to see it! I was so bIind!
Watch out!
- What time is it? - 5:30. What time's his fIight?
6! HoId on, babies.
- Ticket? - Oh, I'm not fIying.
OnIy ticketed passengers past this point.
Yes, but I need to speak to someone on the BA fIight
to Buenos Aires. It's an emergency!
Try the BA's customer service counter.
- They can caII the gate. - You're a genius!
I have an emergency message for someone on your fIight to Buenos Aires.
FIight to Buenos Aires?
I'm sorry but that fIight's aIready puIIed out of the gate.
It had an earIy departure.
An earIy departure?
What are the chances of that?
If this was a movie, there wouIdn't be an earIy departure.
If this was a movie, you'd be bIonde!
If this was a movie, you'd be famous!
That's the probIem with Iife, it's nothing Iike the movies.
I can't beIieve you're reaIIy going.
I'm foIIowing your advice. I'm breaking my ruIes.
Good for you!
Are you sure you're going to be OK?
Jacks! I'm not a chiId, I'II be fine.
- I worry about you, Babies. - You worry about everyone.
No, I worry about you more.
I just don't want you to end up aIone.
WeII, neither do I. And stop being so dramatic!
So stop Iiving your Iife Iike you're in some kind of movie.
Excuse me?
Stop trying to cast your true Iove instead ofjust meeting him.
- When I meet him, I'II know. - I'm not so sure.
Love isn't aIways a Iightning boIt, you know?
Maybe sometimes it's just a choice.
WeII, that's easy for you to say!
You're fIying to Argentina to meet the Iove of your Iife!
That's just it. I don't know that PaoIo's the Iove of my Iife'
but I've decided to give him the chance to be.
Maybe true Iove is a decision.
You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody.
To give to somebody. without worrying whether
they'II give anything back. Or if they're gonna hurt you,
or if they reaIIy are the one.
Maybe Iove isn't something that happens to you.
Maybe it's something you have to choose.
So what do I do?
WeII, you couId start by putting aII of those fantasies of
true Iove where they beIong into your work of fiction.
'Love and Other Disasters.'
Nice titIe. Catchy.
But it'II never fit on the marquee. How aboutjust 'Love Disasters?'
What?
I Iove that Jacks.
She's got that British quirkiness audiences Iove.
'HeIIo, Babies!'
Yes, but technicaIIy she speaks with an American accent
because she's grown up in America so...
Nah, it's too compIicated. Let's make her EngIish.
- Perfect part for Gwyneth! - Gwyneth PaItrow?
Finest EngIish actress of her generation!
Brainstorm! OrIando BIoom as the Mexican.
PaoIo's Argentinean!
And we'II cover the American angIe with Drew and Cameron.
Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz? As who?
PIaying David and Tom.
I'm sorry, you want me to get rid of the gay story Iine?
I don't want you to get rid of anything!
I'm just saying instead of David and Tom,
we have Daisy and Tina.
- I... - AIso, you gotta fiddIe with that ending.
We need a bigger movie moment when Jacks finaIIy connects
- with PaoIo. - Yes, but...
Sorry, the whoIe point is there is no big movie moment
because they both discover that true Iove is a process
not an event.
You know, Peter. I get it.
This script is Iike your baby, isn't it?
WeII, yes, I suppose it is...
I understand that. BeIieve me, I understand that.
Come here.
I want to give you some advice!
You gotta kiII your baby! You gotta fuckin' kiII your baby!
Right. Thank you. Thank you.
Sorry.
- Peter! - David! Hi!
- How are you? - Good, good. You?
Great, I've managed to convince Sotheby's to transfer me
back to London. How's the writing going?
Good, thanks, I've finaIIy finished a screenpIay.
Great! What's it about?
Oh, it's just about some guy who reaIizes he's been
Iooking for Iove in aII the wrong pIaces.
- Like in hoteI Iobbies? - Yes, or in his head.
- WeII, congratuIations! - Thank you, thank you.
You may want to wait untiI you've seen the fiIm.
I don't need to. I'm congratuIating you for having the courage to write it.
How it turns out or even if it turns out that's out of your hands.
- Anyway, take care. - Yes. You, too.
It's on the Ieft when we get out.
David!
Peter?
Are you OK?
No. ActuaIIy, I'm very out of shape and that nearIy kiIIed me.
But I needed to teII you two things.
First, I'm reaIIy sorry I was so seIf-absorbed
when I first met you at brunch.
You don't have to apoIogize to me.
Oh, no, I'm not apoIogizing to you. I'm sorry for my own sake.
You see, I was so caught up in my own head.
I missed out on getting to know you.
And I wouId Iike to get to know you.
I mean if you'd be wiIIing to give me another chance?
Maybe Iet me take you out for dinner?
Oh, I don't know.
See, I've had this fantasy in my head about having dinner with you.
What if you don't Iive up to it?
Oh weII, then I'd just have to keep taking you out
untiI I get it right.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- French or ItaIian? - I think ItaIian.
Good.
PaoIo!
Jacks!
PaoIo, I've been such a bIoody fooI!
Can you ever forgive me?
Love means aIways forgiving.
And I do Iove you, PaoIo! I do!
They made me write that ending.
ApparentIy, audiences demanded that Jacks and PaoIo have
this big HoIIywood moment.
I Ioved that ending.
How can you Iove that ending? It's so artificiaI!
It's a Iot better than what reaIIy happened!
I agree, I don't think having Jacks arrive in Argentina
with a bad case of diarrhoea wouId have had the same impact.
I Ioved how I came across.
You were pIayed by Drew Barrymore!
Who totaIIy captured my essence.
Name was absoIuteIy briIIiant in that.
WeII, I don't Iike to brag but I reaIIy think I stoIe the movie!
I mean, I was funny. Touching. Eccentric. ReaI.
If a IittIe oId for the part.
And I have to appIaud your decision not to show me ending up with James.
Why? Are you ashamed of our reIationship?
No, of course not, darIing.
It's just that you were the viIIain
and itjust wouIdn't have feIt very beIievabIe.
- What a cIever boy you are! - Thank you.
Making TaIuIIah and her mother Iook the same age!
That's very modern, PauI!
I'm so sorry! My shoot went over!
You just missed the story of our Iives.
But with better Iighting!
Everyone knows I wasn't the one who reported PaoIo to immigration, right?
Yes, darIing, we know.
WeII, I think this caIIs for champagne!
Oh, right! CIaridge's, turn Ieft!
- Babies, what's wrong? - Nothing.
You wrote a screenpIay. And they made a movie out of it!
I know and I shouId be gratefuI. Look, I'm very Iucky.
It's just... I don't know.
I just wanted to teII the truth and somewhere aIong the Iine
it got mixed up with a bunch of Iies.
Nobody goes to the movies for truth except possibIy the French!
The truth is way too compIicated. And unsatisfying.
And hard to beIieve.
- Oh, my God! - What?
- I think my waterjust broke. - What?
I know, it's impossibIe, right? I'm not due for another 3 weeks!
PaoIo! PaoIo! She's having the baby now!
CaII an ambuIance! CaII a taxi!
