Alex: Thanks for stayin' and helping 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?
[Awkward silence for a moment then Gigi jumps on Alex, kissing him. He's caught off guard and clearly not into the kiss. He tries desperately to push her back.]
Alex: Hey.
Gigi: Oh, yes, I knew it! The best relationships grow out of friendship.
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: Then, wh...why would you do this? Oh, sh|t. Why do women do this? Why do they build this stuff up in their minds, take each little thing a guy does and, and, 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 dissect each little thing and put myself out there too much but...at least that means I still care. And, oh, you think you've won because women are...are expendable to you? And you may not get...get hurt or make an ass 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 sh|t but I know I'm a lot closer to finding someone than you are.
Gigi: Is that an invitation?
Alex: What?
Gigi: Oh god, that was cheesy. Oh, I'm not good at this.

Alex: Hey, Kelly-Ann, uh, did I get any calls?
Kelly-Ann: Since you asked me 11 minutes ago, no. Not a lot of phone traffic.
Alex: [He checks his cell phone for a signal.]
Kelly-Ann: Oh my god.
Alex: What?
Kelly-Ann: What’s her name?
Alex: Who?
Kelly-Ann: The girl, Alex.
Alex: There's no girl.
Kelly-Ann: You can't hide it, man. I know strung-out and you are S-T-R-U-N-G O-U-T.
Alex: Pleaseeee.
Kelly-Ann: This is amazing. You can't focus, right? Jumping every time your phone rings, checking your email a hundred times a day, wishing you could write songs... No, feeling the need to bring up her name in random conversations...it's always the same and it has happened to you, my friend.
Alex: Shlt.
Kelly-Ann: Welcome to my world, @sshole. Let me get the door.
Kelly-Ann: Since you asked me 11 minutes ago, no. Not a lot of phone traffic.
Alex: [He checks his cell phone for a signal.]
Kelly-Ann: Oh my god.
Alex: What?
Kelly-Ann: What’s her name?

Kelly-Ann: The girl, Alex.

[Gigi hears a knock at the door.]
Gigi: Did you forget something? (She thinks it's Bill.) [She opens the door to find Alex.]
Alex: Yeah.
Gigi: Really? What did you forget?
Alex: This.
Gigi: So, you came all the way here at eleven o'clock at night to bring me back a promotional pen?
Alex: Yeah. Yeah, I did. I thought I would come up with some really great excuse to get over here. That's how it's done, right?
Gigi: Sometimes.
Alex: Look, I can't stop thinking about you. I drive by your place, I call and hang up. I'm turning into...
Gigi: Me.
Alex: Yeah.
Gigi: A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen, no matter what.
Alex: That's true.
Gigi: But when I was hauling my body onto yours, you did not seem to want to make it happen.
Alex: Here's the thing about that, you were right. I've gotten so used to keeping myself at a safe distance from all these women, and all this time, I didn't know what it felt like when I actually fell for one of them. I didn't know.
Gigi: Look, I just went out with your friend Bill. He might be just exactly what I need. No drama, he calls; he does what he says.
Alex: I can do that stuff too.
Gigi: But you didn't, and that same wise person told me that I'm the rule. That I have to stop thinking that every guy will change, that I have to stop thinking that...
[He kisses her.]
Gigi: I'm the exception.
Alex: (He whispers.) You're my exception.
[They kiss again.]
Gigi: Did you forget something? (She thinks it's Bill.) [She opens the door to find Alex.]
Alex: Yeah.
Gigi: Really? What did you forget?
Alex: This.
