  Nick Marshall : Lola?

  Lola : I know I haven't heard from you.

  Nick Marshall : Lola, how long have you been out here?

  Lola : Just a few... hours. Nick, you said that you wouldn't hurt me, and then you slept with me, and then you didn't call me for six days, and that, in the world of me, that's torture.

  Nick Marshall : Lola. I'm so sorry.

  Lola : It's ok. It's ok, because I figured you your little secret.

  Lola : It's so obvious when you think about it; how else would you know the things that you know?

  Nick Marshall : It wasn't so obvious to anyone else.

  Nick Marshall : I am?

  Lola : You're not? Oh, I mean if you're not, you gotta tell me. You gotta tell me. I mean, based on the other night, just, just put me out of my misery. Are you? Or aren't you?

  Nick Marshall : "About what."

  [laughs softly] 

  Nick Marshall : About us.

  Lola : [inner thoughts]  Oh, just don't hurt me, Nick; I've been hurt too many times.

  Nick Marshall : I know how hard it is to go out with someone new. I mean, there's always that fear of... well... getting hurt. At least that's how I feel inside.

  Lola : Do you really?

  Nick Marshall : All the time.

  Lola : Me too all the time!

  Nick Marshall : So, let's just take it slow, and see how it goes.
