Rachel Jansen

Welcome to Turtle Bay. What can I do for you?

I'm checking in. My name's Bretter. Peter Bretter. But actually, I don't have a reservation. Just thought I'd... take my chances. [smiles weakly]

Rachel Jansen

Oh! Wow. Bold! [she looks through the registrar] We are all booked up, but we do have the Kapua Suite available.

Um, okay. How much is that?

Rachel Jansen

$6,000 a night.

Rachel Jansen

Beautiful views.

I can imagine... that's a little bit out of my price range. Sorry. [he looks around] That's a shame. This is such a beautiful... ([he jumps as he looks out the window and sees Sarah walking by] hotel.

Rachel Jansen

Oh, yeah, it's Sarah Marshall from Crime Scene. [laughs] People are excited that she's here.

She's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up three weeks ago.

Rachel Jansen

Oh. I'm sorry, sir.

Okay, like, this is fine, right?

Rachel Jansen

Sir?

It's totally fine. [looks over his shoulder and sees Sarah entering the lobby] Okay, there she is. Did she see me?

Rachel Jansen

Uh-huh.

Is she coming over here?

Rachel Jansen

Yup.

I wish I wasn't wearing this **** shirt.

Rachel Jansen

Fair enough. Why don't you try unbuttoning it? [Peter opens the top two buttons of the shirt and looks at her for approval] Button it back up.

Hey. Hi.

What are you doing here?

I came here to murder you. [chuckles hysterically]

Really, what are you doing here?

I have been having a tough time, you know, back in L.A. Uh, but then, I came here, and here you are. I just think that's too crazy to...

[enters the lobby]

Hey there, little sex object! [slaps Sarah's rear and kisses her forehead, catching her off-guard] I've lost a shoe [holds up a black flip-flop] Have you seen it anywhere? It's like this one, but obviously it's, um opposite of um, excuse me, Misses? [to Rachel] I've lost a shoe. It's like this one. It's like, this one's fellow. Sort of like the exact opposite of this one, in fact.

Rachel Jansen

Uh-huh?

Not like, an evil version, but just, you know, a shoe, like this, but for the other foot, otherwise I'd have to...

Aldous, this is Peter.

Hey! Alright, Peter! Nice to meet you, mate. [shakes hands with Peter and shoulder-bumps him] Aldous. Good to meet you, man.

My ex-boyfriend.

Oh, right! Hey, I'm Aldous Snow.

I know who you are. Yeah, you're very, very famous.

Yeah, I am, I am... for my sins. So, are you, um, staying here as well?

I'm not, as a matter...

Rachel Jansen

I'm sorry. Excuse me, Mr. Bretter, Ms. Marshall. [to Peter] But, we were, um, able to book the Kapua suite for you, sir, for four nights.

You were?

Rachel Jansen
[smiles and nods]

Yes, sir.

Marvelous!

Perfect! Perfect amount of time. Listen, if you want to have dinner with us one of those nights, you're very...

Aldous!

No. No, that's very gentlemanly of you, but, uh, you two enjoy your trip, and, uh, I'll be just fine on my own in my Kapua Suite.

Alright, Peter.

Have a good trip, Pete.

I like your shirt. It's colorful. [he and Sarah walk away] Bye, ta-ta! [to Sarah] I was wearing two shoes this morning, wasn't I?

Bye, now. [to Rachel] Thank you. Thank you for bailing me out like that, but I still can't afford that room.

Rachel Jansen

Nobody can. It's for, like, Oprah, or like, Celine Dion. Really, it's not a big deal. So, you can stay in the suite, but since you're not technically a guest, you have to clean up after yourself. [hands him a key] Otherwise, here is your room key, and enjoy your stay!

Why are you doing this for me?

Rachel Jansen

She's here with some guy already? Kind of messed up.

Yeah, right?! Thank you.

Rachel Jansen

Really, it's not a big deal. Go, go enjoy yourself!

[tries to read her nametag]

Rachel...

Rachel Jansen

Jansen.

Jansen. I mean, a thousand times, thank you! You know what I mean? I...

Rachel Jansen

Go. Go enjoy yourself!

[answering the phone after he has been sobbing on his balcony]

Hello?

Rachel Jansen

Peter?

Sarah?

Rachel Jansen

No, it's Rachel Jansen, from the front desk.

[making an effort to control his voice]

Hey.

Rachel Jansen

Hey, what's going on up there? I'm getting complaints about a woman, crying hysterically?

Yeah, you know what, and I hear her too, and it sounds like she's having such a hard time. [his voice begins to break again] I think it's coming from the floor above me.

Rachel Jansen

You're on the top floor.

[pause]

I'll try and keep it down.

Rachel Jansen

Are you okay?

Yeah, you have a nice night.

Rachel Jansen

Okay. [she hangs up. Cut to Peter curled up on his floor, sobbing just as loudly.]

Rachel Jansen

Where's your wife, sir?

She is in bed.

How are things going with the lady?

Not awesome. She's complicated- like The Da Vinci Code, you know, but- harder to... crack. But life is full of lessons, you learn something new every day, so... [pause] wonder what I'm going to learn... tomorrow? Well! Good night!

Rachel Jansen

Good night, sir.

Night, sir.

Off to find the mythical clitoris!

Rachel Jansen

So! [Peter snickers into his drink] Peter, were you able to get that crying lady out of your room? 'Cause, I could send someone up, if you want.

Oh, you could?

Rachel Jansen

Yeah.

That's very funny. It is.

Rachel Jansen

Well, listen. The Sarah Marshall Show sucks. Who cares?

I do the music for that program. [awkward pause]

Rachel Jansen

Well, did I mention that the music rocks?

[chuckles]

That's very sweet of you. That's very sweet of you to say. You don't have to say that, though. It's not music. There's no melody, it's just tones. Just dark, ominous tones. [mimics a line from the show] "The Masturbating Dog-Killer is on the loose again! He'll kill the owner, but at least the dogs are happy!" [imitates one of his 'tones' and he and Rachel both laugh]

Rachel Jansen

Wow, we’re really going up to the edge of this, huh?

Rachel Jansen

Wow, this is really beautiful. All right, so now that your show’s done, are you gonna finish the Dracula musical?

It’s not that was, you know. Sarah always thought it was crazy and...

Rachel Jansen

Well, you're definitely crazy. But so is everyone, right? So who cares?

I just don't feel like doing anything.

Rachel Jansen

Why?

'Cause my heart is broken, and I can't imagine doing anything right now. It's probably the same reason... you don't go back to school, you know? Maybe it's good we got hurt like that, you know? don't know about you, but it makes me feel impervious to pain.

Rachel Jansen

Yeah. Kind of like there's nothing left to be afraid of.

Yeah. No, exactly.

Rachel Jansen

Right.

We could leap off this rock, and it won't hurt us as had as they did.

Rachel Jansen

So, jump then.

No, I meant that, like as a metaphor, you know?

Rachel Jansen

No. Just do it. You’ll be fine. Jump.

Oh, god. Oh god. I made her kill yourself. You must be crazy.

Rachel Jansen

So, are you gonna jump, or what.

Rachel Jansen

Come on, Peter! I can see vagina from here. I can see hoo-ha.

I mean, I'll jump!

Rachel Jansen

Chicken, come on.

[while hanging from a cliff]

So what should I do? I should just let go?

Rachel Jansen

No, no, no, no, no. If you fall straight down, you'll probably hit a rock and kill yourself!

Totally. So what do I do?!

Rachel Jansen

Why don't you just press your feet up against the rock, and like, shoot yourself off!

What, like a frog?!

Rachel Jansen

I don't know, Peter- just get off the **** rock!

Here I go! One! [pause]

Rachel Jansen

Two!

Two! [pause] Two and a half-

Rachel Jansen

Jump!

Three! [jumps, falls awkwardly, but safely, into the sea near Rachel]

Rachel Jansen

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. You saw right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw it.

Rachel Jansen

I was there I witnessed it.

[smiling]

Thanks.
[She kisses him]

[after she, Peter and Rachel have each had a lot of wine]

So... just so we're clear, and so that I can kinda hone in on your, your central thesis of the night, wade through all the bullshit, you're telling me you think you have the right to just **** anyone, anywhere, anytime? That's what you're saying?

Yes! That's right, there it is! Not so eloquently as you just put it, sweetheart, but... [spills his cranberry juice over the Tommy Bahama shirt Sarah bought him, and doesn't notice] Ultimately, that is... [notices the spill and laughs] Oh, no! Not the shirt! [laughing] Take my eyes, but not the shirt! Mmm, yeah, that's pretty much what I believe, Sarah.

When you're done making jokes, are you gonna get a napkin?!

D'you know what, I think I've improved it, actually! Against all odds, I think I deserve a design award!

[quietly and angrily]

Just please get some seltzer water.

Um, garcon, could we get some... [Matthew rushes over and tries vigorously to clean off Aldous' shirt, while Aldous tries to fend him off; Rachel laughs]

I saw it from farther away. Okay, just lean back for a sec. Let me...

No, it's all right, it's not there. You're very diligent, and I appreciate it, but, let go of the glass now, you're gonna have to walk away, bless you. [Matthew reluctantly backs off as a waitress brings dessert]

[in mock reaction to the dessert]

Oh me, oh my, call the doctor.

Rachel Jansen

Oh, good! [they both laugh; Rachel feeds Peter some of her dessert.]

I love Hawaii.

Rachel Jansen
[laughs]

It's good, huh?

Yeah, it's nice, but I think, for like a week, tops. Any more than that, and I know I'd go crazy, because I think that Hawaii is a place to escape for people who can't deal with the real world.

Rachel Jansen

Yeah, you know, there's so few personal shoppers and pet therapists. Gosh, it's such a hard life. [she feeds Peter another bite of dessert, then grabs his face and kisses him.] I like living here.

Rachel Jansen

Listen to me, Peter. I was a mess, too. I understand that, okay? But it does not excuse you acting like a complete asshole!

Rachel, look, I know that I **** things up for a minute, but I am not like every other asshole!

Rachel Jansen

You should not be with anybody, right now. Anybody.

I know... I know that there is something here. I know I wasn't wrong about that. And yes, it's only been four days, but I know you feel it, too.

Rachel Jansen
[quietly]

I need you to leave. Do not write me, do not call me, do not email me. Peter, I need you to go.

[pause, nods]

I won't bother you anymore...I'm sorry.

Dwayne

I don't understand what there is to think about.

Rachel Jansen

Because, D, he...

Dwayne

She licked the tip. That doesn't count.

Rachel Jansen

Of course it counts! He...

Dwayne

He what? He refused a blowjob from his ex-girlfriend mid-blowjob! Do you know what that's like for a man?! It's called blue balls, Rachel. This guy is like Gandhi, but better. He likes puppets! I love puppets.

Wow! You came... I- I can't believe that you came.

Rachel Jansen

Peter, this is... this is great. It was really funny, yeah.

Thank you. You know what? I didn't realize that it was a comedy and then, someone told me that, and it just, like opened the whole thing up! [they laugh, then there is an awkward pause] How long are you in town for?

Rachel Jansen

Open-ended.

Oh! Wow. Bold.

Rachel Jansen
[smiles]

Yeah, you know... I'm kinda checking out some schools.

[smiles]

Congratulations.

Rachel Jansen

Yeah, maybe. [pause You never called.

You told me not to... and I listened. [pause] Wasn't easy...I might have called once and hung up, from a private number. [he and Rachel laugh]

[Rachel has just walked in on him naked in his changing room; he covers himself with his free hand]

I was just calling you. [holds up his phone; after a moment, Rachel bursts out laughing] Um... wow.

Rachel Jansen

Oh, Peter! [keeps laughing; Peter grins sheepishly]) I'm sorry. [she keeps laughing]

Stop laughing. Can, can you please stop laughing?

Rachel Jansen

I missed you. [walks towards him]

Um, I just wanted to tell you, I've been thinking a lot about... [Rachel cuts him off with a passionate kiss]
