it has to be more interesting.
I worked hard on that!
Take a pen, sit down and let me ask you
a question: How do you feel about her?
- Me, about her?
- How did you feel when you first saw her?
Horny.
Okay, you cannot say you felt horny,
you have to change it.
You have to say, " I felt... moved, -
- alive... on fire."
That is beautiful.
How did you feel
when you first spoke to her?
Like a dickhead.
No, you cannot write that.
You have to say, "I felt like a child
standing in the sun for the first time -
- feeling only your radiance."
"Radiance"; I like that.
I will underline that.
What did you do after you saw her?
I puked.
After seeing you...
my only nourishment was you.
- C.D., you write the letter.
- No, you do it.
You know how to say what I feel.
You write it and I will sign it.
No, no, that is... dangerous.
That is lying.
Not if you write what I feel.
I sign my name and you write
what you imagine I am feeling.
- It will work.
- What I imagine you are feeling?
It is half-written already.
You have to change that poetic baloney.
This is beautiful.
No, for Roxanne
you need something startling -
- something so strange it would
make her incapable of being reasonable.
- Can you do it?
- It is an challenge.
Get your favourite pen.
These are good.
And some good quality paper
that really takes the ink.
- Oh, the food!
- I will take care of it.
You just take your time.
Come on, boys, line up.
- Six and a half minutes, not bad.
- Let us get into our gear.
Let us go, boys.
It is Operation Snowball.
Snowball!
Take the truck!
Snowball, come on.
Hi, how are you doing, Chief?
All is well that ends well.
Boys, the ladder is up. Boys!
Wait, boys. The ladder is up!
Let me show you a double binary,
just focus with this.
You will see it, I am on a schedule.
Roxanne, what is a light year?
Same as a regular year,
it just has less calories.
What is it?
It is two pairs of stars
revolving around each other, -
- but so far away
they look like one.
- What keeps them together?
- Mutual attraction.
That is fairly romantic.
"Strange attractors
in my window of possible movement."
Say again?
"Passionate kisses
I hope you will read with your lips."
- Roxanne?
- Sorry.
It is something from a letter I got...
An amazing letter.
- You liked it?
- No, I did not like it. I loved it.
- Whose letter?
- Chris.
- He can write?
- I am melting.
Let me show you that dumbbell nebula.
There is something I do not get...
The guy dodges me for days, so I think,
"Okay, he is not interested."
C.D. Tells me of the letter -
- so I figure it is about
why he will not talk to me.
But it is not.
It was strange and... intelligent -
- and sexual.
Why is he writing?
He only lives a block and a half away.
Charlie?
Do you want me
to ask him out for you?
She wants a date?
C.D., it is all because of you.
Hey, what is the matter?
She wants to see me tonight?
I cannot see her tonight.
I am already a wreck.
Relax.
You have to help me.
If I talk to her, I will die.
Here is what we do:
I give you something to memorise.
- I cannot memorise.
- Anyone can memorise.
Say the Pledge of Allegiance.
You memorised that, right?
Okay, I said,
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of..."
...which country, I do not know.
We will think of something.
- No letter this time, just face to face.
- Yes.
- Do you want to sit outside?
- Do I want to sit outside? Yes.
- Here?
- Here on the porch, yes.
- We can sit right here.
- Great.
- It is a lovely evening.
- Oh, yes... It is an exquisite evening.
Filled with... mysterious portents.
Magic and romance.
- Why are you wearing that hat?
- Why? ...Because...
Do not panic, stay calm.
Because tonight... I am a hunter.
Because tonight... I am a hunter.
Hunting for words.
That is good, it is okay.
Am I your prey?
Yes, but not a defenceless one.
Yes... but not a defenceless one.
Not a rabbit.
You are a lioness.
Alert and
