影片对白

Alex: Hey, thanks for staying and helping¹ me clean up. I really gotta go to bed, though.

Gigi: Is that an invitation?

Alex: What?

Gigi: Oh, God, that was cheesy. Oh, I'm not good at this.

Alex: What?

(Gigi jumps upon Alex and kisses him)

Alex: Hey.

Gigi: Oh, yes. I knew it. The best relationships grow out of friendships.

Alex: Wait, wait, wait. Gigi. Wait, wait, wait. What? Now you and I are in a relationship?

Gigi: Well, I'd say if we're not at relationship station-ship, we're at least on the track.

Alex: And why exactly would you think that?

Gigi: Because of the signs.

Alex: Really, like what?

Gigi: Like, it was good to hear from me and...you talked to me even when you were with a girl and...I felt something.

Alex: Oh, man. What are you talking about? Gigi, what have I been saying since I met you? If a guy wants to date you, he will make it happen, okay? He will ask you out. Did I ask you out?

Gigi: No.

Alex: Why would you do this? Oh, shit. Why do women do this? Why do they build up this stuff in their minds, take each little thing a guy does, and then twist it into something else? It's insane.

Gigi: I'd rather be like that than be like you.

Alex: Excuse me? What is that supposed to mean?

Gigi: I may dissect² each little thing and put myself out there too much but...at least that means I still care. Oh, you think you've won because women are expendable to you? You may not get hurt or make an ass³ of yourself that way, but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone, Alex. I may do a lot of stupid shit, but I know I'm a lot closer to finding someone than you are.
