The Taylor Predicament
1998
Adam Taylor: And she's a film girl too. Most film girls look like Peter Lorre.
Adam Taylor: Hi, my name's Adam, and I don't have an act. And not having an act is my act. Lauren: Yeah? Well, you see this watch? This watch holds twenty numbers. Twenty numbers.
Adam Taylor: Sure, that works for you, cause you're Sean, and everybody loves Sean. You're the fucking Pete Rose of women.
Jason: Hey, the coffee shop's hiring. I bet you could get a job. Adam Taylor: No thanks. I'm happy with the one I've got.
(Jason snatches a cigarette from Pete's mouth.) Pete Jubois: Did I mention that I've got V.D.?
Lauren: Well, what makes you think I'd want to go out with you? Adam Taylor: Because the other night at the bar, you looked back. Lauren: I looked back. So? Adam Taylor: So you don't have to watch a lot of romantic comedies to know what that means. Lauren: So, what's it mean? Adam Taylor: It means... that the girl wants the guy, so can we just get past this awkward part and you say yes?
Pete Jubois: He just totally dissed the director. That man is gonna be a star.
Sean: If you could just forget how scared you can be sometimes, and listen to your heart, you just might impress yourself.
Pete Jubois: Somebody said it's raining outside. Lauren: Oh no. Adam Taylor: What? Every good romantic comedy needs a rain scene. Lauren: But this isn't a movie. Adam Taylor: Life's kinda like a movie sometimes.
Adam Taylor: Hey, Lauren, you got a minute? Lauren: I don't know, I'm a little busy. Adam Taylor: Who's the director here? Lauren: Hey, there are two people on a set you don't tell what to do and that's the key grip and the gaffer. Adam Taylor: And you're neither. Lauren: So let's talk.
