DON'T CALL ME BABY

....call me when you think of me....


"Okay, I slept with her. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?"

Edward Burns should know better.

He got whacked in the face by Cameron Diaz. Twice.

LOL ;D

That was very hilarious. Side-splitting.

That was a scene from The Holiday. The reason why Cameron's high-flyer character Amanda decided to end it all. Why she flew a few thousand miles right the next day to seek solace (in a stranger's house, by the way) and eventually fell for Jude Law (who wouldn't?????). Of course, the Jude Law in real life is a total opposite from the Jude Law in reel life, if you believe the tabloids. So in the movie, all ends well, even the adorable Jack Black met his match in kind-hearted Kate Winslet.

So guys, the very least, try not to make the same mistake as Burns. He admitted to adultery. Please, there's no need for further insult. She may well know that you've committed the crime and has solid proof of it.

"Okay, I've put the towel in the basket. Are you happy now?"

"There, I washed the dishes. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?"

Which, coincidently, reminds me of another movie. The Breakup. Women want men to want to do something, even when technically they ARE being forced to. Sounds complicated? Yes, it is.

Vince Vaughn: "Here, I bought you the lemons"

Jennifer Aniston: "I wanted 12 lemons for the centerpiece. Why are there only 4?"

Vince Vaughn: "Why do you need 12? Can't you do it with 4? It's just a stupid centerpiece."

Of course, Jennifer was furious. She hasn't started cooking for dinner where guests were expected to appear at the door any minute. She has no time to mull over why it is so hard to buy 12 stupid lemons as clearly requested. (By the way, the dialogue above may slightly differ from the movie, point is, he DID show up with a small bag of lemons, 4 or otherwise, I don't remember the exact number)

A more tactful answer, if you don't want to bother finding those remaining lemons (ask the neighbours if you have to) is "Did you say 12 lemons honey? I'm sorry. (Get ready to give those puppy eyes). I must have misheard you. Here, here. Let's think this out. I'm sure we can come up with something (else)". Jennifer will forget everything, smile and think that you do care after all. She'll even return your not-too-big-a-favour afterwards too.

The power of the word "WE".

Oh, and Honey, I've helped pay your bills.

(You know that I'm swamped with work in the office but I still do it. Are you happy now?)

I'm also very sleep-deprived already.
