The Holiday (2006) Edit

A bunch of us were working all night. She wanted to hang out.

A good book, a great film, a birthday card, I weep.

A little Arthur and the knights.

A night with me.

A wedding was privately announced earlier today...

About 15. I love it.

About six hours ago.

Absolutely never remember to call after a date.

Actually, he has made some small comments like that recently.

Actually, l've been dating a beautiful actress for about five months.

Actually, Maggie, I'm a bit tied up at the moment.

Actually, my first job was as a Western Union messenger.

All right, I'll be there.

All right.

All right. Yeah. I could play spin the dreidel.

All the time.

All the usual symptoms.

Alone, alone.

Also when he's not with her, we talk on the phone.

Although her ass wasn't so bad, either.

Although I may not appear it, I am in fact lris'...

Amanda wasn't looking for love...

Amanda Woods is proud to present Her Life.

Amanda Woods...

Amanda, are you by any chance at all into hot chocolate?

Amanda, can I borrow your napkin, please?

Amanda, guess what.

Amanda, I am so sorry.

Amanda, this is my daughter Sophie.

Amanda, you cut 75 trailers this year.

Amanda, you know how I feel about you. There's nobody like you.

Amanda, you're gonna love this.

Amanda!

Amanda!

Amanda?

Amanda.

Amanda.

Amanda's in England, actually, on holiday.

Amandawoods? Is that all one word?

Amazing! It finally looks like a hit.

An enchanting oasis of tranquility in a quiet English hamlet...

An ex boyfriend who just got engaged and forgot to tell me.

And a letter from the Writers Guild of America, West.

And after all that...

And all that fuzzy stuff...

And also, I have never checked my e mails more.

And anyway, I mean, honestly, we hardly know each other.

And bonus, real terrorists actually became part of our lives.

And did you always know this was what you wanted to do?

And how in the hell, for that brief moment...

And I am deeply sorry about that. I have nothing to say for myself...

And I guess what I was feeling...

And I have willingly loved...

And I know you don't wanna deal with that, but we have.

And I never thought l'd feel this way again, so that's pretty phenomenal.

And I realize I come with a package deal:

And I suppose there's...

And I want you to be the first to report on this particular union...

And I was thinking of going out for dinner tonight.

And I'm about three years late in telling you this...

And I'm not gonna have a conversation about sex...

And I'm not sure I can handle complicated right now.

And in the meantime, I sent her Christmas gift to Santa Fe yesterday.

And it's hard to detect how you even do it...

And little pieces of your soul will finally come back.

And make "Christmas Day" twice as big...

And maybe it won't get any better than this.

And my dad moved out that night.

And not because it feels good to feel this way.

And not that it matters, but l've never said anything like that in my entire life.

And now the weather. First, Nort.hern England and Nort.h Wales...

And Olivia's...

And on top of that, there's the old standby:

And one night after dinner, my parents sat me down...

And she's never explained anything to me that well.

And somehow it turned into a Hanukkah thing.

And sometimes you can even convince yourself...

And that doesn't make things complicated?

And that is why they pay you the big bucks.

And that makes this complicated.

And that's my tragic little story.

And that's why they pay me the big bucks.

And then I found out that he was also seeing this other girl, Sarah...

And then I realized that l'd better toughen up.

And then I thought, maybe this isn't so complicated at all.

And then let's say in six months we hit a wall.

And then there's another kind of love.

And then what's left? Two miserable people...

And then, after a long, tearful...

And they both go to the same men's pajama department.

And we start to feel the tension. We know this isn't gonna work...

And what I want...

And when they're gone, I get to be somebody...

And where is she tonight?

And you acted like somehow it was my fault...

And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again.

And you're funny, which is, like, a bonus.

And you're his...?

And, well, I got through it and sort of haven't cried since.

And, you know, maybe I could go with you.

And:

And...

Anything can happen.

Anyway, how would you propose to get me in shape? Seriously.

Anyway, I'm bringing the music. I mean, I really wanna be there...

Are you embarrassed By this game I've start.ed to play?

Are you free to do that?

Are you married? Tell me fast.

Are you watching the movies I recommended?

Aren't you?

Arthur Abbott is maybe the last of the great Hollywood writers...

Arthur has requested...

Arthur, don't you want to open that letter you just threw in the bin?

Arthur, have you always been this feisty?

Arthur, l've been going to a therapist for three years.

Arthur, this is a big deal.

Arthur's theme. I think this is really good.

As a matter of fact, he is. A huge schmuck.

As a matter of fact, I'm...

As, like, your date or something.

At your end. ...phone call...

Attention passengers, this is the final boarding call...

Back then, there were only six houses on this block.

Bad?

Barbara Stanwyck is dazzling.

Be seeing you.

Because I did not sleep with her.

Because I didn't remember...

Because I just don't usually tell women about them.

Because I'm running out of reasons why we shouldn't.

Because it's way too complicated to be who I really am.

Because you already smell so good.

Because you asked me to.

Before pictures had special effects teams.

Ben needs you.

Berry Kiss.

Bet you're glad you knocked on this door.

Better go.

Better. Thank you.

Blinked.

Bloody cold in here.

Bollocks! I must have lost him.

Bora Bora.

Brother? Oh, my God.

Brother.

Brutal, but brilliant.

Buried in that little place we found in Covent Garden that time.

Busy guy.

Busy? Honey, I haven't been busy since 1978.

But as problematical as this...

But can we talk about you some more, please?

But could you just for now...

But for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend.

But I actually know how you feel.

But I always see you two together.

But I think what l've got is something slightly resembling...

But if you work too much, maestro...

But it always surfaces and this is what happens.

But it's just a little confusing...

But now our generation is also not getting married.

But on the rare... Or lately not so rare occasion...

But since this wasn't a date I guess I'm off the hook.

But that's how I got confused. I didn't recognize one house.

But the thing is, I'll never be able to turn this around at the other end.

But then, of course, love can also be found.

But we are going to try and get by this week...

But what about the rest of us? What about our stories?

But what if I wanted to call you?

But you waltzing in here on my lovely Christmas holiday...

By myself at Christmas.

By myself depressed at Christmas.

Call me old fashioned...

Came home, and had a bit of a kiss and cuddle.

Can I call you back?

Can I help you with that?

Can you go any faster?

Can you hold for a sec? Hold on. I really wanna talk to you.

Can you please stop being so bossy?

Can you tell him I'm good and that I'm just walking Charlie in the village.

Can't believe how many times I'm saying it.

Chariots of Fire. Loved it.

Christmas Day.

Classic, right?

Coffee cups.

Come and tell me all about your Christmas presents.

Come here.

Come here.

Come in.

Come inside.

Come on, nobody has time for sex.

Come on.

Come on.

Congratulations on this much deserved honor."

Could we start. with a less complicated question?

Cute dress.

Dad, do Mr. Napkin Head.

Dad, take her coat.

Daddy, can we still have hot chocolate, please?

Daddy, who is this?

Darling, I don't actually have my gift with me.

Darling, I've just arrived at Soho House.

Deal.

Deception. Christmas Day.

Definitely. Also, for the record, your ex boyfriend is, in my opinion...

Delectable. It was really fun hanging with you.

Did he ever actually tell you that he loved you back?

Did I beg at one point?

Did someone tell you I do his laundry?

Did we...? I mean, did we...?

Did you join a temple since I last saw you?

Did you read that article in The New York Times last Sunday?

Did you say, am I happy?

Did you sleep with her?

Do l?

Do you have anything a little bit stronger?

Do you mean that? I mean...

Do you think you could...?

Do you wanna come in for a sec?

Do you want some company?

Do you, by any chance, know how to be on a date?

Do you?

Doesn't quite have that ring.

Don't blow away.

Don't blow away.

Don't listen to them. They're nuts.

Easy.

Esophageal spasm.

Ethan?

Ethan. Look, it's over.

Even if just for the night.

Even when you don't have it, the not having it makes things complicated.

Every time she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over...

Every year, they tear another one down...

Everyone, can I have your attention, please?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Excellent timing.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Finished, kaput.

First of all, can you please calm down?

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12. One a.m. in London.

For others...

For some, quite inexplicably...

For years, I read these reviews, I buy the books, but I never read them.

Forgive me. The last time I had a date, this is what we did.

From a little town called London, England.

From the moment I met you, it's been an adventure.

Gas company, phone bill.

Get in the... Get in there. Okay.

Glass of water? Tea?

Go ahead.

Go on, go for it.

Go on.

Go right at the bridge, and then just keep going. Way down there.

God, I loved that line:

God. Okay... No. I'm okay. God, why would this happen?

Good girl.

Good morning.

Good. Then that makes one of us.

Good. Where's that?

Graham?

Great writing.

Great.

Great. I met a really nice guy.

Greatest laugh.

Had to.

Hans. very unexpected. Do you remember how great it was?

Happy Christmas.

Happy New Year!

Hate it.

Hate my horrible life.

He amazes me.

He cheated on you, but you stayed friends?

He cuts a nice suit.

He did great.

He had to take her off the market.

He hasn't exactly come right out and said it...

He is so fantastic.

He knows whenever he wants back in your life...

He needs me.

He told you that?

He took electronic scores to a new level. It was groundbreaking.

He's really cute. I feel great when I'm with him...

He's so modest. He gave me this long list of old movies he said I had to see.

Hear, hear.

Heart. pounding, throat thickening, absolutely can't swallow.

Hello, my name is Mr. Napkin Head.

Hello! Which totally makes the line.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. Can I offer you a lift home?

Hello. Hi.

Hello... Hello?

Her loss is our gain.

Here we go.

Hey, I got you something for Christmas.

Hey, I got you the best drink in town, but I didn't know...

Hey, you know, let's just take off for a few weeks.

Hi there.

Hi!

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. So I was home doing nothing and thinking of you...

Hold on, let me just check the kitchen.

Hold on. Don't... Don't go.

Holy shit.

Honestly, l've never thought about anything less. It's very unlike me.

How are you?

How do you feel about foreplay?

How do you remember my little red bikini?

How many of his movies are on that list of his?

How's that for hard to relate to?

How's that for something to admit?

I ain't falling for this.

I also haven't thought of that packed suitcase maybe ever.

I also wrote one that sounds like you.

I am Daddy.

I am sorry I didn't invite you in this afternoon.

I am, actually.

I am.

I apologize for not having mentioned this earlier.

I apologize for the blunt delivery.

I assure you it's not.

I assured her that there were not.

I believe I do, yes.

I bet you didn't know that was all written for the movie. It was a score.

I came here because I had to see you.

I came here on a stupid whim.

I came to Hollywood over 60 years ago...

I can do this.

I can drive on the wrong side of the road...

I can use some Iris.

I can't believe that you have had sex with the woman staying in my house!

I can't believe you had sex with Amanda!

I can't even... Just promise me you'll rent it and listen to it.

I can't figure out the mathematics of this.

I can't imagine anyone being a bigger hit with my children.

I can't. I can't today.

I did, didn't l?

I didn't mean that. You get me nuts sometimes, I say things I don't mean.

I didn't realize I was. I think you make me nervous.

I didn't realize you own the company.

I didn't think we'd get a chance to do this this year.

I do not know what she sees in me, but I'm the luckiest guy in the world.

I do recall you promising me you wouldn't fall in love with me.

I don't do his laundry.

I don't know what that means.

I don't know what that was about exactly...

I don't know what to say about it. Totally brill.

I don't know. It sounds God awful.

I don't know. What time could you be there?

I don't remember that. I just know I hated when you were gone.

I enjoyed our meet cute.

I feel awful now.

I feel like I'm on a job interview.

I gotta get all the way to Silver Lake, but I'm gonna try to be there.

I guess since I am leaving in a week, l...

I happen to know the answer to this. You're hoping you're wrong.

I hate it that we can never talk.

I have a cow in the back yard.

I have another scenario for you.

I have found almost everything ever written about love...

I have no defense. Except that until I get to know someone really well...

I have no idea how to date and be this.

I have the girls New Year's Eve.

I haven't been on a first date in a long time.

I haven't done it before, but friends have."

I haven't had that much to drink in...

I just have to say, this is one of the best Hanukkahs l've ever had.

I just know I love you.

I just want to check this with Amanda's assistant.

I just wanted to get away from the people I see all the time.

I knew she wasn't good.

I know it must mean something awful. I know, but...

I know it's hard to believe people when they say, "l know how you feel."

I know that you're the only one who can really help me.

I know you have a very high opinion of yourself, but this isn't all me.

I know you're gonna look hot in it.

I know you're leaving and absolutely not interested...

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know. He told me that his friends wrote Casablanca...

I know. I'm a tad overdressed.

I learned everything working in this place.

I like corny.

I like the company.

I like your eye shadow.

I mean, how bad could I be?

I mean, it was great meeting you and everything.

I mean, just Maggie. Not "my" Maggie.

I mean, no, I'm not married.

I mean, not "thank God," but just thank God.

I mean, that's gotta mean something, right?

I mean, this is what a vacation's supposed to be.

I mean, up until I showed up and ruined your night.

I mean, you didn't exactly ask me out...

I mean, you screw up every relationship you've ever been in.

I mean, you should just know that.

I mean...

I mean... You know what I mean.

I must say...

I need a drink.

I need a vacation.

I need to get out of town.

I promise I won't be drunkenly banging on your door any time soon.

I promise you will never lay eyes on me again.

I remember when nine movies would open in a month.

I saw a couple today. They were fantastic.

I screwed up. Miles, haven't you ever screwed up?

I sew and I have a cow.

I should know how to do this.

I should probably be going.

I shouldn't have just... Oh, man.

I spend my weekends buying tutus. I'm learning to sew.

I stood in line at FedEx to make sure she got it on time.

I suppose I think about love more than anyone really should.

I suppose so.

I suspect it's somewhere in my car, want to know what it is?

I take this very seriously, and I'm telling you the truth.

I think if the obvious response...

I think it's called Berry Kiss.

I think it's overrated.

I think there's a bottle of brandy. Fancy a glass?

I think we just went way past complicated.

I think we should go back to the original cut on the end.

I think you should get dressed.

I thought I was just someone you had sex with once and slept with twice.

I thought that if I was somewhere else...

I thought they were kidding.

I told you never to get rid of your house.

I used only the good notes.

I volunteered for the job. The next day, I was on the payroll.

I wanna eat carbs without wanting to kill myself.

I wanna read a book. Not just a magazine. An actual book.

I wanna read a book. Not just a magazine. An actual book.

I was 17 years old.

I was a writer.

I was head over heels, you know? Everyone knew.

I was here before conglomerates owned the studios.

I was right there for three years! Remember? Square peg, round hole?

I wasn't expecting "l love you."

I wasn't expecting you.

I will send you your things.

I wish you could just accept knowing how confused I am about all this.

I won't.

I would take you proudly, my darling, but I'm not going.

I... Thank you.

I'll be back in England by New Year's Eve.

I'll be gone before you even wake up.

I'll call her back.

I'll do it.

I'll see you later at the Writers Guild. I mean, if you can still make it.

I'll take you up, Mr. Abbott.

I'm a full time dad.

I'm a guy who reads parenting books and cookbooks before I go to sleep.

I'm a working parent. I'm a mother and a father.

I'm absolutely overwhelmed...

I'm actually serious.

I'm Amanda Woods. I'm staying here.

I'm Amanda.

I'm coming to get you!

I'm constantly amazed by its sheer power to alter and define our lives.

I'm fine, thank you. How are you?

I'm gonna test you on this later. Okay. Driving Miss Daisy.

I'm Graham. Iris' brother.

I'm having some real problems with a section of my book.

I'm here!

I'm impressed.

I'm just tired. I think I'm gonna take a nap.

I'm making him a CD of this tune. Every time he hears it...

I'm meeting some friends for drinks.

I'm Miles. I work with Ethan.

I'm miraculously done being in love with you!

I'm Mr. Napkin Head!

I'm not feeling this because you're leaving.

I'm not going to fall in love with you, I promise.

I'm not very good at this.

I'm on some kind of constant overload and it helps...

I'm so sorry. I'm new at the gate thing.

I'm sorry for my profanity.

I'm sorry.

I'm staying here while she's away.

I'm sure it's an awesome workout. I'm sorry. I'm trying not to picture it.

I'm terribly sorry.

I'm trying to figure out how to open the gate. Oh, fu...

I'm trying to figure out why you didn't tell me about them.

I'm trying to find the right thing to say.

I'm very normal.

I'm wondering if your house is available this Christmas.

I'm wondering why a beautiful girl like you...

I'm...

I've been sleeping with her. She's in love with me. She's young.

I've been working out with Arthur.

I've got a life to start living.

I've got something for you.

I've had too much of the Manischewitz. I'm gonna have to be cut off.

I've lived here 47 years.

I've never met a guy who talks as much as me.

If I had known this was going to happen, l'd have worn my good suit.

If I work a little bit too much, I never stop hearing about it.

If it's corny, or if it's going to ruin your outfit...

If you heard that, I'm sorry.

If you want.

If you'll have me.

In fact, I probably mislaid it, but I know I got you something.

In the cupboard, on top of the Scrabble.

In the world of love, Ethan...

Iris lives next door

Iris, if you were a melody.

Iris, in the movies we have leading ladies...

Iris...

Is it fun having a brain that works that fast?

Is it okay that I'm calling you?

Is that a trick question?

Is this the guy who sent you pages from his novel?

Is, to this day, a very important editor at Random House.

It changed my world.

It doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get...

It is Christmas Eve, and we are going to sit out on that patio...

It is officially crazy weather.

It just comes from a totally different place. It's like...

It sounds like him.

It was better.

It was driving me crazy that I wasn't hearing from you.

It was Shakespeare who also said, "Love is blind."

It's a first edition.

It's a pleasure. Absolutely.

It's all good. Don't worry.

It's beautiful.

It's called unrequited love.

It's just that this whole...

It's Maggie.

It's Miles. Am I in trouble?

It's not like we're never going to speak or e mail or...

It's not, "Will she ever change" but, "Does she want to?"

It's not. They want to arrange some kind of tribute to me.

It's okay, just stop.

It's okay.

It's okay. It was pretty funny.

It's so funny. I mean, you'll fall off your chair, it's so funny.

James Franco.

Jasper.

Jasper...

Jasper...

Just a couple of minutes. Thank you.

Just like you knew they would.

Just look! There.

Just put me out of my misery.

Just say it.

Just stay focused.

Just tell me if it is. I don't wanna mess you up. I'll...

Just tell me.

Know when she'll be back? Supposed to pick up things.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Arthur Abbott!

Legend has it, when the Santa Anas blow...

Let me help you with that.

Let me try this.

Let me.

Let's get this embarrassment over with.

Let's say we just make this happen.

Let's see? It looks good on you.

Let's see. Cotswolds.

Like, I can't constantly be away from work...

Like, possibly, what a complete ass I am.

Listen, I reckon that with a little bit of exercise...

London?

Loner, loser and complicated wreck.

Long distance relationships can work.

Look at me. I'm down here sweating like a pig. And look at you.

Look at you.

Look for them, will you? And have some fun today, okay?

Look for them, will you? And have some fun today, okay?

Look, he's half dead, and he's still interested.

Look, I did the best I could. Is anybody good enough for that job?

Look, I don't wanna... I'm not gonna...

Look, I'm sorry about the intrusion.

Look, I'm sort of a mess in this area myself.

Look, may I just say again...

Look, this is not a proud moment for me.

Lose me?

Louis B. Mayer's office boy?

Love some.

Love to.

Low point.

Low point.

Madam!

Madam?

Madam?

Maggie!

May I introduce the newly engaged Sarah Smith Alcott...

May l?

Maybe if I closed my eyes.

Maybe the best ever.

Maybe the fact that I'm leaving in 8 hours...

Maybe venice.

Maybe we can see one together.

Maybe when I stop having visions of you two together...

Maybe.

Me neither.

More importantly, I was in love with him, truth be known.

More than any woman you've ever met.

Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other.

Must pay better attention.

My dad's a writer of historical fiction.

My parents broke up when I was 15.

My place is nice, but it's a little bigger than yours.

Nearly there. Nearly there. Nearly there.

Neat freak. Healthy. Non smoker.

Neither would l, okay?

Never been there. Always wanted to go.

Never.

Never. I married very young.

Nevertheless, may I just...?

Nevertheless, the guy that I lived with mentioned it once or twice...

New York?

Nine movies are opening today.

No matter what you think...

No need to go on. Right.

No such thing as a Blockbuster or DvD.

No such thing as a Blockbuster or DvD.

No, gents, sadly I am not. I'm just a one woman at a time kind of guy.

No, I didn't. I wish I did.

No, I don't see a box or anything.

No, I hadn't forgotten. I've just been busy, that's all.

No, I'm not, actually.

No, I'm sorry. Amanda's not here, I'm afraid.

No, it just looks like it's the smoke from my cigarette.

No, it's just down that lane.

No, it's not that. I just... No...

No, it's not that. It's just that...

No, no, no. Amanda...

No, no, take your time. I can wait till you're finished.

No, no. I'm still a little intimidated by it.

No, not at all.

No, not in there.

No, really.

No, she doesn't. You each have five.

No, she listed this cottage on a home exchange website and I found it.

No, we're not.

No, we're not.

No.

No. It was just a backwards way of asking if you were married.

No. My neighbor knew I didn't know anyone here.

No. No, it's not.

No. No, no, that's okay.

No. They keep writing me about the same thing.

No. Well... I mean...

No. What I meant was, do you give massive notes, or...?

No. You know what? I'm all right.

None were written by him, of course.

Not do his blooming laundry.

Not exactly something hot...

Not like the way other people do.

Not much. But in a little bit...

Not really, but that's easier. Do you go there often?

Not when he's with her, of course.

Now a picture has to make a killing the first weekend or they're dead.

Now let me ask you. Have you seen this?

Now smoke!

Now what?

Now, before some of you rush off on holiday...

Now, this affects lris.

Now, we're not officially closed, as you very well know.

Of course, this isn't quite that cute, but...

Of that, I am an expert..

Of... No, that's fine. Sure.

Oh, also, I should warn you.

Oh, dear. Clumsy me.

Oh, God, I can be such a jerk.

Oh, God, it's a big one.

Oh, God, just the sight of him.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, here.

Oh, I am well aware we've had problems for the last year.

Oh, I see.

Oh, it's freezing.

Oh, Jasper, I really don't understand this.

Oh, Jasper! I'm just reading your pages.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

Oh, Miles. Hi.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I thought I was talking to Graham! Can you just hold, please?

Oh, my God. Okay, this one? You have to check this out some time.

Oh, no, I just...

Oh, no, is he lost?

Oh, no, no. Like, a half hour.

Oh, no, not yet. Down to the wire. Sorry.

Oh, no. "Gate"?

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, please do not hit me!

Oh, she's an actress? What's she been in?

Oh, suitcase.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, that's intense.

Oh, that's mine.

Oh, well, I'm a film composer, too, like Ethan, but...

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. You know, I gotta get going in a few minutes myself.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. There it is.

Okay, bye.

Okay, here it is.

Okay, I hate this.

Okay, I'll say it fast.

Okay, I'm sending you the pages tomorrow.

Okay, l've got a question for you.

Okay, let me translate that.

Okay, my palms are starting to sweat.

Okay, Norman, you are calling me for pinochle.

Okay, seriously, do not worry about this.

Okay, so we're done.

Okay, so you're telling me you were not a ladies' man?

Okay, that'll be interesting.

Okay, the last thing I remember was coming in here last night and...

Okay, then. Well...

Okay, this is seriously cool.

Okay, this was a really...

Okay, well, the workout's not that great, but the conver...

Okay, where do I wanna go?

Okay, your mail.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Hold, please.

Okay. I believe my time is up. Your turn.

Okay. I'm gonna try to be myself. It's never easy, but I'm gonna try.

Okay. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you twice...

Okay. It's not a library. I can go loud.

Okay. Moving on.

Okay. My brother wants to know how you are.

Okay. Nicely put. Thank you.

Okay. We are on for two weeks...

Okay. Yes. Absolutely. Okay. Well, I cry all the time.

Olivia. Sorry, I didn't mean to look.

One person.

One tear.

One, two, three, four, five.

Or Amanda's next door neighbor. By the way, you should go meet her.

Or if you are, I'm much drunker than I realized.

Or maybe we should just...

Or...

Pass me those when I need them.

Pathetic explanation, but unfortunately it's become a bit of a routine.

Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely close to that...

Pick up Ethan's laptop.

Please say somewhere far away.

Please, just give me one.

Please?

Please? Okay, I'll do it quickly.

Pretty up there.

Probably a brilliant finish too.

Probably because I didn't mention it.

Punched him in the face.

Rarely.

Really sexy! You know, every movie he's told me to see...

Really?

Really? I can't make one work...

Really? I do it all the time.

Really? Why?

Rebecca Green was just your average 20 year old.

Rebecca Green was just your average 20 year old.

Remember last Christmas, we exchanged gifts in March.

Right, because your receptionist needs to work till 3 in the morning.

Right? It's cheeky.

Right.

Right.

Right. Sorry. Apparently not the right thing to say at all.

Sassy! Love it.

Say a man and a woman...

Secondly, we've had problems for over a year.

See what I mean?

See? And you said you'd never. What's he like?

Seriously, you have to get out.

Severe stress makes women age prematurely...

Sex is pretty basic, right? Am I pretty much talking you out of this?

Sex makes everything complicated.

Shakespeare said, "Journeys end in lovers meeting."

Shall I make us a little Christmas fettuccine?

She could have done...

She did ring me last night. I didn't get a chance to get back to her.

She didn't tell you?

She does something that tells you she's no good, you ignore it.

She finished in Santa Fe after two days...

She had real gumption. She was the girl I always wrote.

She had the greatest laugh.

She has more marshmallows than me.

She misses me.

She pushed every guy away, every time.

She was in Santa Monica.

She's brilliant, but I hate it when she worries about me.

She's in L.A. at my house and I'm here.

She's on location in New Mexico. She's working on a little indie film.

Shut up!

Significantly overrated.

Single.

Smells good.

Smoking's really bad for you.

So are you.

So he wanted to introduce me to some of his friends.

So how about some food?

So how's it going so far?

So is it horrible if I stay?

So lris is... Where is...? Where is she?

So now I'm just gonna kiss you for the millionth time...

So now, what's up?

So the stress of it all shows up on our faces, making us look haggard.

So this could be a good solution for you.

So was Hollywood really as great back then as I imagine?

So when we're stressed, we look haggard.

So why didn't we...? Just remind me a little.

So why is it you aren't quite yourself at the moment?

So you are eventually gonna look at me, aren't you?

So you are still engaged to be married.

So you needed to...?

So you're hard to catch at it.

So you're in the film business?

So, Amanda...

So, Simpkey, have you put on that little red bikini yet?

So... I'm sorry, l've totally blanked and forgotten your name.

Someone's having a party tonight.

Sometimes for hours. And then there's the occasional long lunch.

Sometimes I get self conscious about my...

Somewhere inside I knew this about you.

Soph, this is my friend Amanda.

Sophie and Olivia.

Sophie. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look.

Sorry and good night.

Sorry I'm late. The Maggie thing took a little time, but it is over.

Sorry she couldn't be here. She'll be back in about 10 days.

Sorry. Stop!

Still me.

Stop laughing!

Strangely, not at all.

Such a great score by vangelis.

Sure. Yeah. Sit.

Surrey. "Christmas in the country."

Sweet dreams.

Sweetie.

Swoodle ee doo

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Amanda.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Let me rephrase this:

Thank you. Thank you too.

That makes it impossible to forget, which is great for him, sucks for you.

That makes no sense at all.

That must have been really attractive.

That must have made them scream with laughter.

That was accidental. Accidental boob graze.

That was brilliant.

That was your first job in Hollywood?

That we weren't really right for each other.

That'll be it, for real. It's not like we'll ever bump into each other.

That's always been my problem.

That's convenient because I got you something too.

That's how I met Mayer. I delivered a telegram to his office at MGM.

That's it! You absolutely slept with her!

That's it. You okay?

That's not entirely true.

That's not possible. Iris never goes anywhere.

That's not true. I was gonna call you when l'd read...

That's right, he was.

That's so sweet of you to invite me...

That's what you're doing here? You're getting over somebody?

The absolute worst years of my life.

The answer is yes. My family's in publishing.

The better the writer, the less notes.

The brisket was great. And those chocolate covered macaroons.

The end.

The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking space.

The job. The house.

The love train is leaving the station.

The Mission. The score is genius.

The one thing she asked me was, "Are there any men in your town?"

The only woman on Earth who breaks up with her boyfriend...

The wind. It's what makes it so warm this time of year.

The worst Christmases, the worst birt.hdays.

Then I got here and never felt more alone in my life.

Then I'll definitely call you.

Then you found out he was shagging that drip from Circulation.

Then you meet her and immediately get into her knickers!

There are, like, famous things we say because he wrote them.

There we go.

These years I've been in love have been the darkest days of my life...

They always know just how to get us, don't they?

They used to say that...

They weren't that great to begin with.

Think you can make it from here?

This all sounded wonderful till I became the cabana boy.

This can't be it.

This FedEx was leaning on the gate.

This holiday season...

This is a bitch.

This is Amanda. And, Amanda, this is my youngest. Olivia.

This is amazing, this is amazing!

This is an exceptionally great tent.

This is good.

This is just me, like, being stupid.

This is me in good shape.

This is not a hard one to figure out.

This is supposed to be conducive to great work?

This is the great Ennio Morricone.

This is too confusing.

This is why I knew we were smart never to get married.

This lane's tricky. It's gonna take a bit.

This past weekend, the children were with their grandparents.

This place suits you.

This special night will be a tribute to your...

This was an amazing night.

This... This twisted, toxic thing between us...

Those of us who fall in love alone.

Three for the price of one. And my...

To Art.hur He's a doodle ee doo

Turn around and go back, please!

Turn around!

Two notes and you've got a villain.

Two years ago.

Unconscious? Oh, God.

Until the father she never knew left her something she never expected.

Until the father she never knew...

Utter honesty. very refreshing.

Very Berry Kiss it is.

Very nice.

Very nice.

Very square peg, very round hole!

Very well, thank you. Do you want to come in?

W l D O W E R.

Wait. I need the lights on.

Was. Yes, yes, I was.

We are cutting you off.

We are the cursed of the loved ones.

We are the unloved ones. The walking wounded.

We commit to flying back and forth as much as we can.

We could push our beds together.

We have a tent in our playroom. Do you want to see it?

We never have grownups here that are girls.

We should just...

We should take a drive, get some lunch and get to know each other.

We switched houses for two weeks. For the holiday.

We used to call ourselves "The Three Musketeers."

We were a square peg and a round hole.

We worked for the same newspaper.

We'll see each other, okay? We'll figure something out.

We're all ready for you.

We're getting better.

We're not gonna make a bigger deal out of this than it already is.

We're worlds apart.

We've made a great impression on you, haven't we?

Weird.

Well, first of all, a very happy Christmas to every one of you.

Well, fuck.

Well, goodbye, then.

Well, I just broke up with someone.

Well, I just want to be sure you are okay because somehow...

Well, I may have slowed down a little, but yes.

Well, I mean, that made me curious. You know, he's here. Where is she?

Well, I thank you very much, young lady.

Well, I wasn't expecting you either.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that...

Well, I...

Well, I'll go and check the gate.

Well, I'm off to work in the morning.

Well, if you're not busy, would you like to join me?

Well, if your flight's canceled or for some reason...

Well, it's not going so great.

Well, like I said the other night...

Well, like I said, Most lnteresting Girl Award.

Well, ma'am, you're good to go.

Well, ma'am, you're good to go.

Well, not all the people.

Well, since we've already had sex and slept together twice...

Well, thank you. Thank you for rescuing me.

Well, this was some meet cute.

Well, we have that in common.

Well, yeah, you were drunk.

Well, you know you are my little survival kit.

Well, you must come to London all the time for work, right?

Well, you probably won't be hearing from me...

What about you, Miles? You're a man about town, I presume.

What am I doing?

What am I saying?

What an extraordinary thought.

What are you doing New Year's Eve?

What are you talking about? That sounds brilliant!

What are you up to this Christmas Eve?

What did he say? She had the greatest ass?

What did she do, go to Weather.com?

What does your place look like?

What kind of surprise?

What part of England are you from?

What was the question? Oh, I know.

What? Do I have something on my lip?

What? Why I'm bothering you with all these questions?

What's it like to be the only one committed to work...

What's the difference at this point, right? I mean, why torture me?

What's the story with you two anyway? You were shagging him, weren't you?

What's up?

What's wrong?

When did you get here?

When I first arrived in Tinseltown...

When I spoke to her this morning on her cell and she said:

When I walked in, all the girls in the office were in a tizzy.

When you get back to London...

When you put it that way, it sounds awful.

Where am I finding you?

Where are you?

Where did you find it?

Where do they speak English?

Which is why it's usually better to have it. Some say.

Which means she's been right here in town.

Which, by the way, it absolutely was not.

Which, by the way, it does... Or did, before you went off like that.

Which, I must admit, I kind of love about her.

While Ethan goes on looking cute forever...

Who cut out all these beautiful stars?

Who is it, Daddy?

Who is it?

Why are you blushing?

Why are you so great?

Why did you stay?

Why does it bug you so much that I can't cry?

Why? Do I look not married?

Why? You know where I live?

Will you forgive me?

Will you, Miles?

Wine, maybe?

With you.

Would it be awful if I sent you some pages?

Would you like something to drink?

Would you like to walk out on a stage, on a walker, looking 100 years old...

Would you mind coming back tomorrow?

Would you mind...

Yeah, I'm good.

Yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow on a noon plane.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, something just blew into my eye.

Yeah, that doesn't exactly answer my question, so...

Yeah, well...

Yeah? Never meet me when I'm sober.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, it seems. Here I am in my pajamas.

Yeah. Of course. Sure. You had to... Yeah.

Yep, you got something in your eyelash. You want me to get it?

Yes, hello.

Yes, I did. I wrote this.

Yes, I'm sure.

Yes, only because he had the greatest girl in town.

Yes, you are looking at one such individual.

Yes! It's doable, definitely.

Yes! Love them. Irene Dunne is fantastic.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Except for I'm sorry about the wine.

Yes. I love perfume, but he won't let me wear it.

Yes. Three, almost four times. And when I reminded him of that...

Yes. Well, when did you send it?

Yesterday.

You are quickly becoming one of the most interesting girls l've ever met.

You are, seriously, the most depressing girl l've ever met.

You broke my heart.

You can go. I can get this one.

You can just say you don't want me to come in.

You did?

You didn't really wanna be a couple! You resist it in your own way!

You don't have to be this nice.

You don't like tents?

You don't want one?

You got so big. Give us a kiss.

You gotta be...

You haven't cried since you were 15?

You just don't wanna be what I need.

You know what I really think, Ethan?

You know what I really wanna do?

You know what l've been asking myself all night?

You know what she said to me tonight?

You know you do this, right?

You know, given that I'm in a bit of a personal crisis...

You know, I never realized how pathetic you are.

You know, I never thought l'd say this, literally never...

You know, I try, but... Believe me.

You know, I would never cheat on you, not under any conditions.

You know, I'm not quite myself right now.

You know, just the other day, I was just thinking about that time...

You know, l've never been to England.

You know, lris, when you catch your guy with another woman...

You know, the one that unties at the back?

You know, we might as well be honest with each other.

You know, we were really close.

You know, you don't have to walk me in. It's freezing, and...

You know...

You look just like an angel on the top of the Christmas tree.

You look like my Barbie.

You loved the idea of you and me, but not so much me. Not me, not really.

You mean what's it like to be the only one...

You need this more than I do.

You okay?

You put a cutting room in the house and sleep with your BlackBerry.

You see how great your life is compared to mine?

You see? She came to her senses.

You should. Absolutely.

You still go to bed every night going over every detail...

You stinker.

You too, Soph.

You with me, Simpkins?

You, I can tell, are a leading lady.

You're already better than you think.

You're D I V O R C E D?

You're doing really well.

You're not lris.

You're so right.

You're supposed to be the leading lady of your own life, for God's sake.

You're supposed to never talk to the prick again.

You're supposed to plug them in over here. Right.

You're supposed to throw things at him, scream, call him names.

You're supposed to vacate life, do the unexpected. And you are...

You've gotta fight the fight, kid.

Your column today was fantastic.

Your glasses.

Your house is lovely.

Your receptionist, Ethan?

You happen to have two guns? I didn't think one would be enough.

...has this powerhouse woman in it. Wonder if he's trying...

...I think you'll see that too. Yeah, maybe.

...it's for the sake of your music. "lf" you work too much?

...we just... We say goodbye. Thank you.

...you wouldn't... You really don't have to do this.

"Daddy"? Yes.

A scroodle ee doo? I didn't know that. Yeah.

Again. I should probably take this.

All right? Yeah.

Amanda Woods. Shut up.

Amanda. And why has she got a funny accent?

Amanda. Yeah, but where is she from?

And also a doodle ee doo Scroodle ee doo

And she's so sure of herself. And sexy.

And what did you say? I asked her to hold.

And what'd you study in school? Literature.

And you're not going to be in it. Darling...

And your lipstick. Thank you.

Anything we would have seen? She hasn't done that much yet, but...

Best job I ever had. Wait, wait, wait.

Can you just hold on for a sec? Sure.

Changing subject. Okay.

Cheers. Cheers.

Come on. He's my next door neighbor.

Dad. Sorry, yes. Of course, come in.

Deception. You happen to have two guns?

Deep breath. Okay.

Did I always want to be a book editor? Did you...? Right.

Did you compose this? It's beautiful. This?

Did you forget something? Yes! Yes.

Do it. Do it. Please. Do it, please. Beg you, please?

Do you want me to ask him? Sure.

Does it look like I'm crying right now? No, no, no.

Don't tell me you're still... No, no, no, that's over. very over.

Ever. Oh, babe.

Everything's great. How are you? Oh, I'm loving it.

Fine. Honey, we're sitting there.

Good luck. Thank you.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good. Good.

Good. I'm in love with you.

Graham? Yes. He said you met.

Gumption. Oh, my God, tons of it.

Hello, children. Who's this? She's a stranger?

Hello? So are you ever coming home?

Hello? Can you hear me? Yeah, it's Miles. Amanda?

Hello. Going up! Blow on mine.

Hello. Hey.

Here we go, Olivia. Olivia... Thank you.

Here we go. Yep.

Here. Thank you.

Hi, Marta. Hi, lris.

Hi, Simpkey. Hi.

Hi. Hello.

Hi. How are you?

Hi. How do you do?

How did you know that? Oh, he told me once.

How did you know? He let you go.

How is she doing? She just asked me how you are.

How's it going? Good. Yeah, everything's good.

I don't think you ever really loved me. Oh, please.

I got your cell, I'll be in touch. Okay, pound right here.

I had nothing to do with that. Oh, I know, but you were here.

I think we should go into town. What do you mean?

I'm finished. No.

I'm just flipping out a little bit. Oh, okay.

I'm lris, by the way. Miles.

I'm serious. No, I know.

I'm so sorry. No, no, it's okay.

I'm sorry. No. No, no, no. Don't be.

I'm... Okay.

John Williams. I didn't write it, that's why.

l've never been to Europe. No?

l've never had that much to drink. Yes, I believe no one ever has.

Lie down, please, next to me. Okay.

Lie down. Okay.

lris Simpkins, where are you? Here, sir.

lris, hi, it's Amanda. How are you? How's it going?

lris, I have a tip for you. Excellent.

lris? Yes?

ls this a bad game? No!

ls this a bad time? No, no, I'm just...

lt happens to be the truth. Really?

lt's cozy. Yeah.

lt's new. What's it called?

lt's not that. Okay, I'll pretend I believe you.

lt's perfect. I like this Hugo Boss.

lt's so much stronger. I agree.

Madam? Yeah.

Move out of the way! Watch it!

Mr. Abbott? Yes, sir.

Much better. Yeah.

No problem. Oh, boy.

No set rules. None.

No, it's okay. I'll be all right. I know, I know. I'm thinking about me.

No. Okay.

No. No, no, no. No Mr. Napkin Head. Please? Do it!

Not that drunk. Yeah.

Now you know he was interesting. Lindsay Lohan.

Oh, hello. Hello.

Oh, hi! Arthur, you made it.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, well, thank you for that. You're welcome. Now do it.

Okay, this is it for real. Okay.

Okay. Keep going.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. So when you're not in such a rage...

Okay. Hi, sorry. That was Amanda. How'd she sound?

Really great. Thanks, I'm feeling good.

Really? Find out how she is.

Renting. Thank you.

Right. And the man says to the salesman:

Santa Anas? Oh, yeah, long time now.

Sex. Okay. Now, that cannot be true.

She had it all; Yes, that's it.

Shut up. I'm a major weeper.

Shut up. No, I mean it.

So do you, by the way. Thanks.

So you're a book editor. Yes, I am.

So, Amanda, I just really... Yeah. You know...

Sorry? lt's how two characters meet...

Sorry. So he's a schmuck.

Sorry. I'm interrogating you. Yes.

Sort of. I thought it would be hard...

Sure. Good.

Sure. Hello.

Sure. Listen.

Sure. Okay, bye.

Surprise. Yeah, it is. Hi.

Surrey. Cary Grant was from Surrey.

Thank you, Arthur. Fellas...

Thank you. Let me just get you a blanket.

Thank you. Lie down!

Thanks. ls that for us?

That would be great. All right, cool.

That's a nice line. lt's all those movies!

That's the truth. Everyone loved Marion.

The conversation is truly fantastic. No, that I totally believe.

The flutes. This is the best part. One second.

They went to the shops. Didn't see anything.

This is just women, not men. I'm sorry.

We did. The Three Musketeers!

We didn't? We did not.

We should get the bill. No!

We're here. Okay.

Well, hello, dear. Hello.

What are we doing here...? Okay.

What happens? Things end.

What kind of an editor are you? A very mean one.

What? No.

What? That's what you said.

What's he been up to? Did he say? I'm not sure.

Who are you? lris, open the door...

Who was he with? Maggie.

Why do I always fall for the bad girl? You didn't know she was a bad girl.

Yeah, Santa Anas. Pardon?

Yeah. What about your family?

Yeah. What do you mean? I'm not kidding.

Yes, but, I mean... Oh, my God.

Yes, we did meet. How is he? Fine, I think.

Yes? You smell lovely.

Yes. With baby marshmallows?

Yes. May l, may l...? Oh, sure. Thanks.

You cannot mean that. The great thing is I actually do.

You didn't get to your spicy tuna yet. I'm fine, really.

You do not. Yeah, I do.

You have a cow? Yeah.

You have company? I'm having a little Hanukkah party.

You have five too. Thank you.

You okay? Yes.

You sure? Yeah, I just slipped.

Your father left you something. I never met my father.

... to be true.

...all because I'm cursed by being in love with a man who does not...

...and a girl does not forget a comment like that. Not even me.

...and considering that you showed up...

...and doesn't even shed a tear?

...and even if you were staying, I can promise you...

...and get inordinately pissed, my little sister puts me up...

...and has been staying with whatever his name was.

...and how we get from one day to the next.

...and I find myself in a total stranger's home...

...and I realized that a little complication never hurt anyone.

...and immediately fell in love with motion pictures.

...and Jasper Bloom!

...and really drunk and probably won't remember me anyway...

...and round out his life."

...and say, "Be seeing you."

...and see 11 schnooks who showed up just to see you?

...and telling me that you don't want to lose me...

...and the wrong side of the car.

...and told me that they were breaking up.

...and we are gonna celebrate being young and being alive.

...and we have the best friend.

...and will not love me back.

...and wishing and hoping that you would just forgive me.

...and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood.

...and you have got to get the hell out.

...and you lose that argument with yourself that she's not for you.

...and you're, like, insanely good looking...

...as humanly possible.

...as it is between two of our most esteemed colleagues.

...at the pub tonight.

...be quiet?

...beautiful...

...because even if you wanted to, and you clearly don't...

...because I can't remember the last time we did it.

...because it makes us feel good to feel this.

...because nobody's quite as smart as you!

...because stress causes DNA in our cells to shrink...

...because you're the one who wanted to go out to lunch...

...blow on it. It's hot.

...both need something to sleep in.

...but as previously stated...

...but happy Christmas.

...but I don't know how long this is gonna take.

...but I just want to assure you, you're better off. I'm...

...but I think you were absolutely right about us.

...but I'm more than willing to believe Shakespeare had.

...but if you're at all interested, please contact me."

...but in the world of love, cheating is not acceptable.

...but l've just arrived here, and, well, I don't really know anyone.

...but nevertheless I need to say it.

...but one doesn't have sex with women who are unconscious.

...but that doesn't mean it didn't find her.

...but that he added the "kid" to "Here's looking at you, kid."

...but try it in a red. Like a happy red, not like a Scorsese red.

...but whatever it was, I thought that I should just...

...but you did say you loved me...

...close call.

...definitely unexpected.

...doesn't immediately come to you, we can...

...extremely mistaken about you.

...fact may be, I am in love.

...feeling totally mashed up and hurt.

...for many guests when he said, "Hilary...

...from that generation. Thanks.

...from the Circulation Department on the 19th floor.

...gonna be a real ball buster.

...gonna make ourselves a little fire, pop some bubbly...

...gumption.

...he said it must have been an answer to a question.

...however long "all that" may be...

...I do have one rather important announcement.

...I find I tend to hurt women simply by being myself, so...

...I have the classic male problem of no follow through.

...I own a company that does movie advertising.

...I think we should leave these young folks and get back to our bedpans.

...I was...
