My Best Friend's Boyfriend

Being single is completely underrated.
You can use up all the hot water for long baths, Not share the popcorn And hog the remote to flip through 500 channels.
This is helpful if you have amnesia.
You can fill in decades of info In the time it takes your nail polish to dry.
Did you know that hitler had a mistress? What a jerk.
- History channel again? - Yeah.
I only caught the second half, But i think i pretty much got the gist.
Oh,look at this.
You can send coffee to the troops.
No.
Put it down.
Why? It's a very nice thing to do.
Yeah,i thought it was a nice thing,too, So i sent a pound of sumatra dark and a note And got a note back From captain randy holt saying thank you, And so i,just to be polite, e-Mailed back,"you're welcome," And then he e-Mailed me back, "what's up?" So now i feel like i'm cheating on chase and i led him on, And i'm a coffee tease.
"Coffee,teas.
" - See? The whole store knows! - Oh,come on.
Calm down.
You are not cheating on chase.
All right? He's just a lonely soldier who wants news from home.
You know,just keep it to, like,small talk,you know? Boring stuff, like,oh,you know what? Why don't you tell him that story you told me three times About your broken fridge hey.
Which i found thrilling, but i think in his day, It would be a nice break from all the excitement.

You and tony dane are still texting? - Come on.
When are you gonna meet him? - Bup.
Bup.
Look,i know he's a big basketball star and everything, But,you know, he should take the time-- - Bup.
Bah.
- Okay,why are you "bupping" me? Look,it's okay.
You know,just 'cause i'm not dating anyone Doesn't mean that you can't talk to me about your relationship.
That is exactly what it means.
Every time you're not dating someone and i am, You do everything you can to try and break us up.

I will never do Oh,and of course,i'm wrong.
I'm gonna go to the little girls'room.
I'll be right back.

He said he liked my vintage lacroix shoes.
I mean,really,what kind of man notices something like that? Sam,thoughts? Look at her.
She likes him.
Maybe she can change him.
It's possible,you know.
They have camps for that.
I saw it on the bible channel.
- Look,just tell her.
- Tell her what? That she's in love with a gay man? I can't tell her that.
She's just gonna think that i'm sabotaging her relationship again.
Okay,so don't tell her.
She's in love with a gay man, todd.
How can i not tell her? She's gonna get hurt.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You're right.
You're right.
I don't tell her.
I show her.
So if she sees it for herself, then she can't be mad at me,right? Thank you so much.
You are such a good friend.
Oh! Wait.
Friend? No,no,no, I'm not your Damn it.
Hmm? Like it? "Hey,look at me.

I'm sorry.
He wrote and told me how hard it was for him over there,and i wanted to relate, Soi told him the pilot light on my stove kept going out.
You were supposed to be helping me out of this.
I couldn't do it.
I might be the only thing keeping him alive at night.
Who are you keeping alive at night? - My soldier.
- Oh,i'll break up with him.
I fire people all the time.
No problem.
But nobody buys my wife a stove.
Including you.
Damn right.
Look at it.
You begged for it.
Look at it.
Tony,you know,um,todd and i were--Were talking this morning About what our favorite characters On "sex and the city" were, And i was just curious what yours was.
You know,i've--I've never-- I've never seen "sex and the city.

I like him.
Oh,me,too.
You know,i think we-- I think you should have sex with him.
- What? - Yeah,right now.
Just try.
And then ob-Observe what happens,you know? If he says he's not in the mood,then then you tell him to get in the mood or explain why not.
Okay? - That sounds kinda hot.
- Yeah,it is,kinda.
But i like him.
I really do.
I think i kinda want to take it slow with him.
Oh,my god.
Maybe some of the new u is rubbing off on me.
Ah.
Now? Oh,god.
What are you doing leaving me out there with him? - I'm a pleaser.
You know that.
- Look,??? - I need you to sleep with tony dane.

- And i'll start dancing with-- You and i will switch with them.
- No.
No,no,no.

- Stop.
Stop it! What you doing? I'm not your toy, i'm not your pal,i'm not your girlfriend, and i'm not your gay roommate.
I'm here,okay? Right here.
And i guess that's the problem.
Drama queen,huh? Snap.
- Where's andrea? - Uh,bathroom.
Oh,good.
Then it's just the two of us.
All right,tony,come on.
You can be straight with me.
- I-I'm sorry.
That's a very poor choice of words.
- What you talking about? - Tony,i think you know.
- Do i? Tony,i know what happened in the men's room with todd,okay? And--And--And andrea is my best friend, And i'm not gonna stand by and let her get hurt.
Look,she's gonna understand, you know?I-I have admitted so many horrible things to her,And she's always forgiven me.
Not that being gay is horrible Or--Or needs to be forgiven or anything like that.
I actually think it's good.
I think it's--It's--Go,gays! So - Hey.
- Hey.
Uh,what's going on? Andrea,um This i't easy to say.
It's okay.
It's okay,tony.
It's all right.
Andrea,tony has something that he needs to tell you.
- Sam tried to hit on me.
- What?! Sam! No! No.
What? And i-I don't want to come between the two of you, But i think,you know, we should--We should just go.
I was not hitting on him.
I was not hitting on you.
I was--Why would i hit on him? He's gay! Yeah,you're gay.
He's gay.
There.
Oh,god,i said it.
I said it.
Whew.
Big weight lifted now.
Oh,honey,he is gay.
Oh,my god.
Honestly,sam, A new low,even for you.
- What? No.
- Mm! He's gay.
He was staring at todd's Maybe i do have some sort of pathological need to destroy all of her relationships.
You know,it's,like,i don't know if tony dane is gay.
I could be totally wrong.
My boyfriend in college was gay.
We didn't know it at the time.
I mean,he knew it, And all the members of the,you know, man alive choir,But i did not see it.
Yeah.
Now andrea hasn't called me back for two days.
Todd's avoiding me.
He leaves before i even get up.
Well,did you do something make him mad? Like ask him to oil up and seduce tony dane? Hmm.
No.
Just that.
Hi.
Hey,guys.
Hey.
- Guess who's gay.
- No one.
No one's gay, And anyone who says that they are Are just kidding themselves.
Tony dane.
Maybe not.
Maybe i'm just being narrow-Minded.
You know what? In europe, straight guys--They hold hands, They walk right on--They walk right on down the street.
No,he's gay.
He told me himself.
- He did? - Mm-Hmm.
You know that i was not trying to break you guys up.
Yes,and today we're leaking our relationship to the press.
Okay,i know that i'm the one with amnesia, But that still means when two guys love each other and they - mm-Hmm.
Yeah.
- No,look,this is all good.
Tony gets to have me on his arm, And i get paparazzi,press and private planes, And i get to see whoever i want in secret, So you know what,sam? You were right.
I need more out of a relationship--Fame.
Okay.
- Are you sure that this is what you want? - Yes.
Yes.
- Really? - Hey.
Bup.
It's just a little weird to have a guy who's just a friend.
It doesn't have to be.
I mean,look at me and todd.
No,it only works if one of you is gay.
Why? Because there's always one of you that wants something more than the other one.
Usually me.
Or todd.
Oh,god.
I am such an idiot.
Of course he was mad i was trying to put oil on him.
I mean,who wants to be treated like that? Chase.
He loves it??? Ew.
Bup-Bup.
Bup-Bup.
I saw this thing the discovery channel or something about the theory of matter, That matter exists in different forms.
I think the same thing applies to love.
Love is like liquid.
It can flow outward and bring life to a desert he's very charming.
You know,he's only on leave for a week.
Just show him a good time.
I can't show him a good time.
You show him a good time.
- Regina,it's for you! - Hey.
Love can be a gas-- Light as air and assuming the shape of its container I mean,it's crazy.
I have been so busy with other people's lives That i have paid no attention to what's happening in mine.
Like todd I mean,if he has feelings for me, We need to talk about that And about my feelings about his feelings for me Or if i have feelings for him and my feelings about that.
You know? So i'm just gonna open up some wine And settle in for a nice chat.
White wine and feelings-- He's a very lucky man.
Good night,miss newly.
Good night,frank.
Hey,todd? Hey.
Can we just talk about some-- Hi.
You there.
Hi.
Hi.
Sam,this is cameron.
We were just going out.
Yeah.
Okay,good.
Hi.
Th's--You'll like that.
Yeah.
And him.
You'll like him, 'cause he's not gay.
You wanted to talk? Hmm? Me? No.
I'm good.
Have fun.
Yeah.
Plus,i only got enough wine for one,so So yeah.
And like matter,love can't be created or destroyed.
It's always there, even if you can't see it, Even if it's right there in front of you.
