Adam: Yes, thank you.


 

[Adam goes to get off the couch and get his pants from Emma’s room but is embarrassed by his nakedness]

Adam: Oh, God!
Emma: Here are your pants.


 

Adam: So did I just pass out on your couch?
Emma: No. No, then you did this thing. It was like a dance.
Adam: Dance?
Emma: Yeah. Like…
[she moves her hand up and down motion]
Adam: I shook my dick at you?
Emma: Yeah.
Adam: Oh, shit! I’m sorry.

[they high five each other]

Eli: Alright, well what did she text you.
Adam: ‘Hi.’
Eli: Just ‘Hi’?
Adam: ‘Hi’!
Eli: With nothing else? Just H-I?
Adam: I don’t know, what do I, what do I do with that? I don’t know.
Eli: That’s not good. You just got to walk away, pal. It’s over.
Adam: Shit!
Eli: She’s not into it.


 

[as they watch Emma walk out of the Bistro and get into Sam’s car]
Adam: You really think she’s just using him for his car?
Eli: Uh, no, Adam, I don’t. I think he wants to fuck her in his Prius. And the thing about fucking in a Prius is that you don’t have to feel guilty afterwards.
Adam: Because it’s a carbon footprint.
Eli: Yeah.


 

[Adam shows up at Emma’s hospital with a balloon]
Emma: What are you doing here?
Adam: You didn’t call me back. So I thought I’d come here.
[referring to the balloon]
Adam: Oh, it’s for you.
Emma: Congrats? For what, having sex with you?
Adam: Yeah. You did a good job, so I thought you deserved a balloon.


 

Emma: I’m working.
Adam: Okay. So what’s up with not calling me back?
Emma: I’m not good at this stuff.
Adam: At what, talking?
Emma: Yeah. Talking, communicating, relationship stuff. That’s just, this is, if we were in a relationship I’d become a weird scary version of myself and my throat starts constricting, the walls start throbbing. It’s like a peanut allergy, like an emotional peanut allergy.
Adam: Well, I can’t date you either. Because you’re not my dad’s type, so.


 

[referring to Adam]
Emma: But the height difference! We stand next to each other it looks like he’s kidnapping me. What?
[Patrice shakes her head]
Patrice: You always do this. You always find something wrong with everybody who likes you. And I date guys who have real problems. I date guys who steal my credit card and then they tell me it’s my fault because I left it out. You find these perfect guys and then you’re like, ‘It’ll never work, he’s too happy!’
[to the guy they pass as they walk along the hospital corridor]
Emma: What’s up, Dr. Metzner!


 

[to Patrice]
Emma: Did I just say, ‘what’s up’ to Steven Metzner’?
Patrice: That was really hard to watch.
Emma: Look I know I’m supposed to want to be in a relationship, but I just end up with a broken heart and a bunch of his old t-shirts.
[she takes our her phone]
Emma: I mean just from a purely logical perspective…
Patrice: What are you doing?
Emma: I’m texting him.
Patrice: Of course you are.


 

Eli: You know, you shouldn’t have gotten her a balloon actually. What do you think you are, the old guy from “Up”?
Adam: You told me to get her a balloon!
Eli: Well I didn’t think you’d actually do it. It’s a terrible idea.


 

[as he receives a text]
Adam: It’s from Emma.
Eli: Well what does it say?
Adam: ‘Where are you?’
Eli: What are you writing?
Adam: ‘Hi, how are you doing?’ And then a winky face.
Eli: No, Adam. It’s after ten p.m. Come on, the where are you text is like saying, ‘Hey, I want to have sex with you. But I just need to know how drunk you are.’


 

Wallace: Hey, did you fuck Emma and then bring her a balloon?
Adam: What?
[to Eli]
Adam: Did you tell him?
Eli: No! Yes!
Adam: You can’t tell anyone!
Eli: She just texted him ‘Where are you?’
Wallace: Oh, she wants the dick.
Eli: Adam, you want to come back strong here. You know, go from a position of power. Something like, ‘Where am I? Why don’t you check your underpants?’
Wallace: Yeah.
Eli: Yeah!
Wallace: Don’t write that.
Adam: I would never write that.
Wallace: See I like to be kind of scary. Like, ‘Boo! Here comes my dick.’


 

[referring to replying to Emma’s text]
Wallace: So what did you write back?
Adam: ‘Hi.’
Wallace: Yeah, that could work.
Eli: Yeah, it’s not bad. Hi is fine.
[Adam gets text from Emma saying ‘Your pace in 30 mins?’]


 

[after having sex Adam gets close to Emma and puts his head on her shoulder]
Emma: We probably shouldn’t snuggle.
Adam: Yeah, that just felt wrong.


 

Adam: You know, I don’t want to freak you out, but I’d love to hang out with you in the daytime sometime.
Emma: It’s not really possible. I have no time. I work eighty hours a week doing thirty six hour shifts. What I need is someone who’s going to be in my bed in two a.m., who I don’t have to lie to or eat breakfast with.
Adam: I hate breakfast and lying. I also hate war.
Emma: Do you want to do this?
Adam: Do what?
Emma: Use each other for sex at all hours of the day and night, nothing else.
Adam: Yeah, I could do that.
Emma: Good. It’s going to be fun.


 

Adam: Hey, you know this is never going to work.
Emma: Why not?
Adam: Because clearly you’re going to fall in love with me.
Emma: Oh, really? Well, then we just do this until one of us feels something more and then we stop.
Adam: Well it won’t be me.
Emma: It won’t be me.
[he kisses her]
Adam: Good luck with that.


 

Emma: We should keep this simple. I mean, maybe we should establish some ground rules.
Adam: Ground rules, good idea.
Emma: Okay, well we can start with no fighting. No lying.
Adam: Those are good ones.
Emma: No jealousy. No staring deeply into each other’s eyes.


 

Emma: Don’t list me as your emergency contact. I won’t come.
Adam: Isn’t that against your Hippocratic Oath?
Emma: Yeah.
Adam: Yeah?
Emma: I’d let you die!
Adam: Oh, yeah?


 

[as she’s about to leave to meet Adam for another booty call]
Emma: I’ll be back in like, an hour.
Shira: Have fun.
Emma: I’m just getting some yogurt.
[to herself as Emma walks out of the apartment]
Shira: God, I am single as fuck.


 

[looking at Adam’s penis wearing 3-D glasses]
Emma: Oh, my God! It looks like it’s coming right at me.


 

Adam: Hey, oh, one more thing. Don’t call my penis cute. Even if it’s dressed up like a Care Bear and it’s giving you a care stare.
Emma: Don’t dress up your penis. Ever!


 

[as Adam and Emma are having loud sex, Eli walks over to Adams room and bangs loudly on his door]
Eli: I can’t focus on my porn with all this real sex going on around me!

Adam: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Sam: Sure you do. That’s fine for now, but you should just know that I’m going to be there right next to her every day, using big words, saving people’s lives. Then when she’s done having a fun with you, she’s going to come running to me because I’m a grown up and I have a real job. I can actually take care of her. You know? I’m the guy she marries, Adam. You’re the guy she fucked a couple of times in the handicap bathroom.


 

[as Adam walks into the apartment and finds Eli holding his legs up and looking at his feet]
Eli: I’m not saying Alvin and I did mushrooms together, but I’m not prepared to say that we didn’t. I know that you have issues with your dad, and that’s cool. But he really likes you and he definitely likes me and we were just jamming ideas and goofing around and tripping our balls off.

Vanessa: I know this might be hard, but just because I’m your ex-girlfriend doesn’t mean that you can’t look at me as a kind of mom.
Emma: Oh, boy!
Vanessa: Especially, because well, Alvin and I have been talking about creating new life together.
Alvin: You see we were at the Burning Man.
Vanessa: And we were all dressed up.
Alvin: Yeah. I was dressed as a fire bird.
Emma: And what were you dressed as?
Vanessa: I was naked. And we were just out there in the desert, and he was burying my bare body in the sand.
Alvin: Yeah, pecking at it with my fire beak.
Vanessa: And then I just though, you know, what if all these grains of sand were actually babies?
Alvin: And so we…
Vanessa: We had this wonderful idea.
Alvin: And we, well, we’d like your blessing, Adam. How do you feel about the two of us having a baby together.
[suddenly Adam bangs his head hard on the table]


 

Emma: This isn’t really my place. I mean, who am I? I just have sex with your son sometimes. But…
Adam: Yes, she does.
Emma: But, there is really no reason for you to bring a child into this world since you’re acting like children already.
Vanessa: That was really mean.
Emma: Yeah, I’m mean. But you’re fucking crazy. Because given the choice between Adam and his dad, given the choice between Adam and anyone really, I’d choose Adam, every time.
[to Adam]
Emma: Do you want to get out of here?
Adam: Yeah. Fuck this.
[they get up to leave]
Emma: Oh, by the way. It’s the best sex of my life.
[yells to Alvin and Vanessa as they walk out of the restaurant]
Emma: Great Scott!


 

Adam: Go on a date with me.
Emma: [laughing] You’re heavily sedated.
Adam: Come on, it’s one date. Just do it.
Emma: Why? So I can wear make-up and act perfect all night?
Adam: Yeah. I’ll pick you up and we can talk about our favorite books and our favorite TV shows and I’ll pay for everything. And you can reward me with an over the jeans cock rub. Like a real date.
Emma: Is that what you really want?
Adam: This Friday.
Emma: This Friday is Valentine’s Day.
Adam: Yeah.
Emma: No.
Adam: Go big or go home. They’ll be hearts and maybe some flowers. One date.
Emma: Fine.
Adam: What?
Emma: I’ll go on a date with you.


 

Emma: I made you a Valentine’s Day card.
Adam: What?
[takes the card looks at it and laughs]
Adam: It’s perfect. Will you read it for me? Is that weird?
[Emma takes the card back and reads it]
Emma: You give me premature ventricular contractions.
Adam: I’m assuming that’s a good thing.
Emma: You make my heart skip a beat.
Adam: Aww.
Emma: Don’t make fun of me!
Adam: Wow!


 

[at the diner during their Valentine’s Day date]
Emma: I don’t get my own milkshake?
Adam: No, it’s one milkshake, two straws. That’s what makes it so special.
Emma: But I’m so hungry
Adam: We have dinner, later. Didn’t you read the itinerary?
Emma: You’re going to get more shake you have a bigger mouth.
Adam: You have a pretty big mouth.


 

[as Adam tries to show his feelings during their date]
Emma: I can’t do this. Could you please take me back to work?
Adam: No. No. That’s not the deal. The deal is that we’re going to walk around and we’re going to look at the twinkly lights and then…
Emma: Why are you messing everything up?
Adam: It’s what people do. I mean, they buy each other flowers and they go to museums and they don’t…
Emma: You know me. This stuff freaks me out. It’s fake. What’s wrong with what we were doing? It’s working, we don’t have to fight, we don’t have to…
Adam: Maybe I want to fight.
Emma: Yeah, well. I don’t!
Adam: What are you going to do? You’re just, you’re never going to feel anything? How are you going to do that?
Emma: I don’t know. I’ll figure it out.
Adam: You’re so messed up.
Emma: Yeah? I don’t need you to take care of me, I take care of myself. That’s what I do.


 

Emma: Why don’t you go find some other girl who’s not going to hurt you?
Adam: Because I love you.
[suddenly Emma starts hitting and pushing him]
Adam: It’s obvious. I completely love you! There!
[she continues to hit and push him]
Adam: Oh! You’re such a wimp!
Emma: I am not a wimp.
Adam: Well then be with me!
[she continues to push and hit him]
Adam: Okay, you’re going to fight me. Is that, you’re going to fight. You can’t fight me, you’re miniature. You’re like a girl Rick Moranis. You fight like a hamster.


 

[as Adam drives Emma back to the hospital from their disastrous date]
Adam: I can’t keep doing this. I’m not going to see you again.
Emma: I know, that makes sense.
Adam: Bye.


 

Lucy: I read your script and I love it. I really do.
Adam: Really?
Lucy: Yeah. And honestly like I didn’t think that you could write, mainly because you’re so just so beautiful. Uh, seriously it’s distracting for me.
Adam: Thank you for reading it.
Lucy: Yeah.


 

[referring to how she came over to Adam’s as soon as he read his script]
Lucy: It sounds crazy, because now that I’m saying it out loud it does sound crazy.
Adam: It’s no crazy. Thank you for reading it.
Lucy: No. No. No. I emailed it to Megan.
Adam: No shit?
Lucy: Yeah! And, uh, let’s see what she says.
Adam: Wow!
Lucy: Yeah, I told her she’d be crazy to not like it. But then again she is a functioning psychotic. So it’s like, who knows!


 

Lucy: I feel like I’m talking too much about this, but…
Adam: Hey, do you want to…?
Lucy: What? Yeah, sorry. What were you going to…?
Adam: Just to hang out?
Lucy: Oh, that’s crazy. I was like, what’s he going to say and then you said that. It’s not what I thought you were going to say. Um…
[Adam pulls out a chair for her]
Lucy: Oh! That is a chair.
[she sits down]
Lucy: Fuck, yeah. Do I curse too much?
Adam: Fuck, no!


 

[to Emma who is looking sad and depressed 6 weeks later after breaking up with Adam]
Shira: Can I say something? And don’t take this the wrong way, because you know I’ll be your friend no matter what. Just, you’ve been kind of depressing to be around lately and I might start avoiding you in the hallway, that’s all. Just thought you should know.


 

[referring to her boyfriend, who’s sleeping and snoring loudly in the car as Emma drives]
Sandra Kurtzman: He’s an amazing lover.
Emma: Oh, boy!
Sandra Kurtzman: That’s why they call him Bones.


 

Sandra Kurtzman: You know I worry about you sometimes.
Emma: Why? Is this about me not having a date?
Sandra Kurtzman: No. No. I know you can dance alone and I know that you’ll be fine. You’re always fine.
Emma: So?
Sandra Kurtzman: I don’t know. When we lost your father I couldn’t stand to see you in pain and I think you knew that. And I think that you got good at being strong for me. But I’m telling you be hurt. I can take it. The world can take it.
[Emma looks tearful]
Emma: Okay.

Eli: Yeah. She’s crazy hot, Adam. She’s like a sexy scientist.

Eli: Man up!
[Adam walks over to Lucy]
Wallace: Go for it! Man up!
Eli: You keep saying ‘Man up’, you cried during the show.
Wallace: I liked the show.


 

Emma: I can’t stop thinking about him.
Katie: Who? Adam?

Katie: Tall.
Emma: He’s so tall.
Katie: So tall.
Emma: And he’s so like…
Katie: Happy.
Emma: Annoyingly happy all the time. But he has this, he has the best heart.

Adam: Okay. I don’t know what to say. You’re calling me because you’re at your sister’s wedding and she looks happy and everyone is happy and you’re not.
Emma: I thought, I don’t know what I thought. I just I guess I wanted to hear your voice. I mean, I know we broke up but…
Adam: Emma. We didn’t break up. We never started. I got to go, um, I’m still at work, so. Uh, have fun at the wedding and tell your sister congratulations. Bye.

Emma: Yeah.
Katie: I love you.
Emma: I know.


 

Lucy: So then when I was like, eleven, I was in therapy because I was like obsessively, um, biting my hair and then three months in my therapist died. I know! So it was like, that was kind of a bummer. But yeah, that’s why I hate planes.
Adam: Oh.
[Adam hands her glass of wine]

[he takes the dog and Vanessa leaves]

Alvin: You know who I wish was here right now? You’re mom.
Adam: Yeah, well you left her. Why?

Adam: You’re an asshole.
Alvin: But you’re not. You got a good heart, Adam. Try to keep it.


 

[referring to Emma]

Alvin: Hey. I’m fifty eight years old. I’ve been married three times.
Adam: Twice.
Alvin: Okay. I got six pictures of my cock on my phone and two of someone else’s. And I’m still pretty high on the cough syrup, so you can take this with a grain of salt. But we don’t pick who we fall in love with, and it never happens like it should.

Alvin: I may have to kill this dog, I just haven’t decided how.

Adam: How did you know that…?
Emma: Shira texted me about your dad, so I came here.


 

Emma: I know I just can’t call you.
Adam: No, you can’t.
Emma: I know. I hurt you, I’m sorry. I don’t know why I wasted so much time pretending I didn’t care. I guess I just didn’t want to feel like this. It hurts.
[she starts crying]
Emma: But I love you. I’m totally completely and in love with you and I don’t care if you think it’s too late, I’m telling you anyway.
[Adam just stares at her]

Adam: No?
Emma: Hmm.

Emma: Oh, yeah. I think we’ll just hang in.
