Alex

You want a cup of coffee?

Yeah, sure. Thanks.

Alex
[rummages around in the kitchen]

No. No. No. No. [comes back with coffee in two flutes of champagne glasses] He broke all my cups.

That's original.

What do you think, Alex? I mean you know the whole story.

Alex

It's easy to stand back and judge. You don't now anything about this woman.

I know that she has no conscience, and no regard for anyone but herself. I mean, what else do I need to know?

Alex

You make yourself into such a victim. Nobody made you be with her. You can't even see what a hypocrite you're being.

I'm being a hypocrite? How am I being a hypocrite?

Alex

Yes, you are!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You, guys. Hey, relax.

No, Luke. Hey, hold on. Alex, I'd like for you to explain to me on how I'm being a hypocrite.

Alex

Who's to say, this woman hasn't been in love with you for a really long time? And now that she found you again, she wasn't about to let you go twice.

What?

Alex

Maybe... The first time she saw you, maybe she felt the way you did the first time you saw Lisa. You remember that. Love makes you do crazy things. Insane things. Things in a million years you never thought you'd see yourself do. But here you are doin' it. Can't help it.

Come on, let me film you.

Alex

No, you first.

Come on, Alex. Are you shy? You can't be shy if you wanna be an actress.

[holds up a book]

Here.

Alex

Shakespeare.

This is your big break.

Alex

That's Shakespeare. I can't do that. That's too hard.

[Lisa begins to quote Shakespeare at the camera]

Haply, when I shall wed. That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry half my love with him, half my care and duty. Surely I shall never marry like my sisters to love my father all.

[Alex begins to grows jealous of Lisa's natural acting ability]

So true, my lord. In life... Ah! I blew it. I'm sorry. That was bad.

Alex

No, that was amazing.

You know, the thing with acting is, Alex, you just have to commit. Otherwise, you're just a phony.

You knew she was here the whole time?

Alex
[reaches into her bag and grabs the envelop she was suppose to give to Matthew two years earlier]

This belongs to you. It's from her.

[in the letter]

Matt, please don't think that I'm running away from you. I was so overwhelmed when you asked me to move in, I couldn't speak. My answer, of course, is yes. I love you, and can't wait to come home.

Alex
[in tears]

I'm not going to apologize for what I've done. This is for me to live with now. Now you see me for who I am.

Yes, I do.
