Judgment and Hypocrisy in Relationships

Matthew What do you think, Alex? I mean you know the whole story.

Alex It's easy to stand back and judge. You don't now anything about this woman.

Matthew I know that she has no conscience, and no regard for anyone but herself. I mean, what else do I need to know?

Alex You make yourself into such a victim. Nobody made you be with her. You can't even see what a hypocrite you're being.

Matthew I'm being a hypocrite? How am I being a hypocrite?

Alex Yes, you are!

Luke Whoa, whoa, whoa. You, guys. Hey, relax.

Matthew No, Luke. Hey, hold on. Alex, I'd like for you to explain to me on how I'm being a hypocrite.

Alex Who's to say, this woman hasn't been in love with you for a really long time? And now that she found you again, she wasn't about to let you go twice.

Matthew What?

Alex Maybe... The first time she saw you, maybe she felt the way you did the first time you saw Lisa. You remember that. Love makes you do crazy things. Insane things. Things in a million years you never thought you'd see yourself do. But here you are doin it. Can't help it.

Coffee Conversation Amidst Broken Cups

Alex You want a cup of coffee?

Matthew Yeah, sure. Thanks.

Alex No. No. No. No. He broke all my cups.

[rummages around in the kitchen; comes back with coffee in two flutes of champagne glasses]

Matthew That's original.

The Temptation of Decision-Making

Matthew You're right. This doesn't make any sense. One minute I'm here looking at rings, and the next I'm here, doing this.

Luke Whoa. Whoa, looking at rings? I didn't realize you were that serious.

Matthew Apparently, I'm not.

Luke See, that is how the universe works. The minute you make a decision, you decide on anything, along comes temptation.

Matthew What would you do?

Luke I'd keep both of them and hope they don't find out about each other.

Matthew That's perfect. Asshole! I have to find out why she left.

[laughs]

Luke She got scared. Everyone gets scared.

Matthew No, not Lisa. She wouldn't have left without an explanation. Without some sort of letter or a call or something. She's not like that. I mean, something must've happened, and whatever it was...

Luke Screwed you up big time.

Matthew I know she loved me.

[pause]

Overcoming Shyness in Pursuit of Acting

Lisa Come on, let me film you.

Alex No, you first.

Lisa Come on, Alex. Are you shy? You can't be shy if you wanna be an actress.

Lisa Here.

[holds up a book]

Alex Shakespeare.

Lisa This is your big break.

Alex That's Shakespeare. I can't do that. That's too hard.

Lisa Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty. Surely I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.

[Lisa begins to quote Shakespeare at the camera]

Lisa So true, my lord. In life... Ah! I blew it. I'm sorry. That was bad.

Alex No, that was amazing.

Lisa You know, the thing with acting is, Alex, you just have to commit. Otherwise, you're just a phony.

The Line Between Attraction and Creepiness

Luke So she had the same name, same perfume, same shoe size. That’s so hot. Or, or maybe that’s just creepy.

The Illusion of Distance and Reality

Matthew When you see something from afar, you develop a fantasy. But when you see it up close, 9 times out of 10, you wish you hadn't.

Confrontation of Love and Truth

Matthew You knew she was here the whole time?

Alex This belongs to you. It's from her.

[reaches into her bag and grabs the envelop she was suppose to give to Matthew two years earlier]

Lisa Matt, please don't think that I'm running away from you. I was so overwhelmed when you asked me to move in, I couldn't speak. My answer, of course, is yes. I love you, and can't wait to come home.

[in the letter]

Alex I'm not going to apologize for what I've done. This is for me to live with now. Now you see me for who I am.

[in tears]

Matthew Yes, I do.
