Lola Davis

— Here's a new spin. If one in four men cheats on their wives Then three in four are faithful And even more admirable nine in ten women. Not bad odds to play. So no more Jack no more Alibis, no more worries. Just the thought of waking up every morning and hearing...
— You are such an asshole.

— Lies are the great foundation of our society, Lola. 'Great outfit, honey.' 'Can't I give you flowers for no reason?' And my personal favorite, 'Don't worry, it happens to lots of guys.'
— But that's just being polite.
— Fact is your average relationship wouldn't last two minutes if people told the truth. We just help maintain the illusion. Mom's happy, Dad's happy and the kids don't have to pick sides at Christmas.
— So this is all for the children, then?
— Families don't break up because of infidelity, They break up because someone get caught.
— Let me guess, You're just a hard-working child of a broken home trying to save others from the pain you went through.
— I just see people for the well dressed, good smelling animals they are. Mate, eat, sleep and mate some more, preferably with someone else. Come on.
— But you can't really believe that. Not everyone operate on a purely primal level.

— A man is as faithful as his opportunities. Take your old boss, for example.
— Perfect example. Yes, he cheated on his wife they broke up. They got back together they never been happier
— When was that, about a year ago? Yeah, How did you know that?
— He just bought us lunch. Been a client since January.

— Why don't you get in the tub with me? I know these things that we can do with the water jets. I tell you what...
— Trust me when I'm done with you You're going to need ice.

— Can I ask why you left?
— I was one of seventeen Jr. VPs in out division specializing interest derivatives, market risk exposure, plus a little P/L analyses on the side. Sounds... almost as dull as it was. And just a point of clarification, I work with people, and for people, never under them.
— And what would you say Your best quality?
— My patience.
— Great, great. So, how close to the street are you? Your shoes. Very fashionable about five or six years ago. You look like a woman who would care. Do you wanna talk about it?
— OK. I had banked some stock options from this blossoming internet start-up, and decided to seek enlightenment in the Holy land.
— I would have guessed Tibet...
— I'm old school.

— That was interesting, little creepy.
— So what can you tell me about him?
— I just met him... I'd say high school graduate, possibly a missionary or insurance salesman although with obvious connections to some sort of criminal enterprise.
— Okay, what else? <...> And would you say he is... Married or single?
— Divorced. If there were a woman's life she'd make him a babe little more with him.

— What do we do? We're a risk management firm.
— Which means?
— We're in the business of saving marriages.
— How do you do that?
— We grease the way that makes state-of-the-art infidelity possible. People who cheat get caught because, A they want to, or B they're found somewhere they said they weren't. We create a false reality, making people appear to be where they're supposed to be.
— So you help men cheat on their wives?
— And wives cheat on their husbands. We're an equal opportunity employer.
— You're a professional liar.

— Sorry to interrupt. Are you busy?
— Yes, Ray, I was having a glamour night.
— I'm goint to... I'm going to tell you something and I don't want you to ask any questions.
— Well, we all know how good I am at that.
— We slept together last night.
— Did I like it?
— I said no questions, remember?
— Did you like it?
— Lola!
— How do you know I wasn't with someone else last night?
— Were you?
— I thought the idea was to keep our private life and work life separate? Okay, go ahead.
— You invited me over yesterday morning. I showed up at seven-thirty PM with a bottle of wine.
— What kind?
— Merlot. And you cooked me dinner.
— Don't tell this story my mother. She'll know you're making it up.
— A roast.
— Lasagna. I can make lasagna.
— Fine, lasagna. I showed up at seven-thirty, we had dinner and I didn't leave until nine o'clock in the morning.
— Just one more question.
— What?
— Are you gonna call me?

— So I think I need to tell you something. I'm actually a huge opera fan.
— That's what you needed to tell me?
— But I always preferred Carmen to Salome. You know why?
— Because in Salome the hero loses his head and in Carmen the evil temptress is made to pay with her life?
— Oh no. Actually, it's the overture.
