Cross My Heart

I met her a couple of weeks ago.

The first time we went out I thought "Maybe. Maybe."

Then the second time we went out I thought to myself "yes".

Yeah.

Now I'm wondering

"Could a woman this good ever really fall for a guy like me?"

I met him 17 days ago and he's...

he's so funny, he makes me laugh.

He's the kind of guy a woman could fall in love with.

All right, maybe I've already fallen. I don't know.

Tonight's our third date. The all-important third date.

Great!

She told me she thinks I'm great.

Wait till she finds out the truth.

You meet some guy, you think he's great,

so you end up going to bed with some fantasy you made up.

And then you wake up in the morning with someone you don't even know.

Which I have promised myself I am never doing again.

I've got to break this date.

-No. No. David, don't call her. -I have to.

You don't go with somebody this good on the day you're fired.

Don't break this date.

-Why not? -Because.

I think right now, feeling the way you're feeling this is exactly what you need.

What I like about David is that his life is so together.

We're going out to celebrate some big promotion he got.

Well, that's a relief.

Mom and I would be very happy

if you could find someone you didn't have to support.

I must like him. I'm shaving above my knee.

You will get another job.

You will! I'm not worried about you getting another job

but this woman,

If she's as terrific as you say she is, and I'm assuming you're not lying—

-She's better than I told you. -She is?

Yes. And I don't mean just sexy, either. Which she is. I mean...

Ridiculous. But although we haven't even kissed yet, but...

I mean this is the kind of woman you could fall in love with.

Really?

Well. Then she's got a shelf-life of like 6 days max

and then she'll meet somebody else and she's gone.

He doesn't even know I smoke

because I haven't shown him any of my bad habits yet.

I can usually hide something wrong with me for about a month.

I mean, he thinks I'm this really sweet girl

that hasn't been around very much.

Well, I can be sweet when I want to but

I can't not have been around very much.

You wanna know why I really lost my job this afternoon?

Cause I was honest. That's why.

I'm there with a buyer from Sears.

Right? And he's telling the same joke

that he tells me every time I go in to see him.

Same joke.

And it wasn't funny then and it really isn't funny now.

But I'm sitting there and I was thinking

"Okay, get ready, here comes the punchline."

I tried to laugh.

I really did but it just wasn't there.

I don't know. Maybe, maybe you should have laughed. You know?

I mean I don't think honesty is always such a great thing.

I've got to tell him about Jessie tonight.

Oh Kathy, trust me on this one.

Al didn't know I had kids until he moved in and sat on Barbie.

At first I just assumed he knew I had a child

and then, when I realized he didn't I felt bad I hadn't told him right away.

Then, last week,

I couldn't find the exact right moment to break the news.

What do you say? "Pass the salt, and by the way,

would you like to see a video of me in labor?"

No, no, no. You don't say anything now. It's too soon.

The last couple of interesting guys I've met,

when they found out I had a child,

they thought it was really great, and really earthy and all that

but I never heard from them again.

Why did it have to be today? You know?

Fire me Monday morning. At least give me the weekend.

Hey, could we pick it up here, please?

Don't forget who you are, pal.

You're right.

Who am I again?

You're David Morgan, the king of the road.

Yeah, well, king of the road. Meanwhile my car is still in the shop.

Really?

You know what? Then...

You take my car.

-Your car? -Mm-hmm.

No, no, it's brand new.

I mean, it's a great car but...

I want you to take my car.

No, no, no, cause I know how you can be about your things.

You're right. But I hate that about myself.

I don't give. I'm not a giving person.

I want to change that. It's wrong.

So let me help you.

How could I lose a 30,000-dollar-a-year job?

I mean, you know. I mean...

Kathy owns her own business. No one can fire her.

How come people go on dates?

Oh, to get to know somebody, find out what they're like.

How come people wear perfume?

Would you do me a big favor?

Would you go and get that, that new bracelet that I like so much? Please?

-Okay. -Thanks.

Would you do me a favor and take a Valium?

I'm not asking you to take an entire blue

but I am begging you to have half a yellow.

You really should be having more fun.

Dating isn't fun.

What are you doing?

What, are you planning of bringing her back here?

Yeah, why? Shouldn't I bring her back here?

Go ahead! Sure.

Why not?

Well no, I'm saying bring her back here, that's fine.

Yeah, but you're saying it like, you know, "bring her back if you wanna be an asshole"

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm saying, bring her... In fact I'm thinking,

if you wanna use my new place it's available.

-Your new apartment? -Yeah.

Is it great?

It's fabulous.

-These? -Yes.

Would you just put it on the thing? Thanks.

I wouldn't wear that if I were you. You're gonna have a zipper mark on your back.

Well it really doesn't matter because this skirt is not coming off

until I get home.

Really, I'm not sleeping with this guy yet.

Oh really? So how come you're taking your diaphragm?

Oh, god, I should have gotten shoulder pads for this.

It would have looked so much better.

I think you have too much lip gloss on

and you're doing that weird thing with your eyebrow that you do when you get nervous.

Is there anything else? Like am I doing anything right?

I know what you're thinking.

-You do? -Yeah.

I've been there. Every salesman has.

You lost your job so your confidence is shattered.

That makes sense.

And deep down inside you, you start thinking to yourself

maybe you've lost the magic.

So I don't know. Let's say you did.

Let's say you've lost the magic, which is possible.

But you're not gonna know for sure till you get out there

and test yourself.

-Right? Like tonight with... -Kathy.

Kathy. Now if you still have the magic. You will make it happen.

Right? But then again, if you don't

so that you know that, at least you'll know.

He's here! He's here!

Jessie, just...

Nancy, would you... just stay here.

Okay, okay. I'm here, I'm here.

What time will you be home?

Not too late.

Oh, Kathy, I told you I couldn't stay late.

Al's been under a lot of tension at work lately and he can't sleep without me.

One o'clock.

No, Kath, 12.

And 11:30 would be even better.

Okay, let's do it. Looks good.

He's talking to himself.

Come on, let's do it.

I can't do this. It's totally ridiculous.

It's a stupid night to do it.

He's leaving.

He is leaving.

Come on. Let's do this thing, let's just get it over with, come on.

Let's just go in and do it.

He's coming back!

He is coming back.

Would you two please come in here?

Come on!

-Hi. -Hi.

Well, congratulations, Mr. Regional Sales Manager.

Well, it could have happened to anybody.

But it didn't.

Well, this is nice.

Yeah. Thanks. We like it.

I mean, you know, my friends all think it's good.

Yeah.

You ready?

Yeah, this is a big night.

-Well then we should go, then. -Okay.

Wow! You didn't waste any time. New job, new car... You're a lucky guy.

There are no dents in the car, don't play with the radio

and the seat's exactly the way I like it.

-Yes, sir. -Okay?

Oh, thank you, sir.

-Enjoy your meal. -Thank you.

I heard this place is impossible to get into. How'd you get a reservation?

Hey, this is my town.

I wanted to change my order.

Yes, the lady will take the Caesar salad?

Oh, no, that has garlic in it, doesn't it?

Yes, look, it's our specialty. You'll love it.

No, well then I'll just have a plain green salad with oil and vinegar on the side.

Very good.

You're the most considerate date I've ever had.

-Well, well, David Morgan. -Hi.

-It's been months. -Yeah.
