The Ugly Truth (2009) Movie Script

    You change your mind
    Like a girl changes clothes
    Yeah, you PMS
    Like a bitch
    I would know
    And you over-think
    Always speak cryptically
    I should know
    That you're
    no good for me
    'Cause you're hot
    Then you're cold
    You're yes
    Then you're no
    You're in
    Then you're out
    You're up
    Then you're down
    You're wrong
    When it's right
    It's black
    And it's white
    We fight, we break up
    We kiss, we make up
    Are you alert?
    Okay, well tell them...
    But you don't really
    Want to go
    No.
    You're yes
    Then you're no
    You're in
    Then you're out
    I'll be there in about
    Okay, thanks. Bye.
    [CELL PHONE RINGING]
    We used to be
    Just like twins
    So in synch
    - Morning, Freddy.
    - [FREDDY]: Morning, Abby.
    - You look awfully pretty today.
    - Oh, is it that bad in there?
    - Good morning. We got problems.
    - Morning.
    There are no problems, Joy,
    only solutions.
    The traffic camera is down
    and we have no B-roll
    for our traffic segment.
    - That is a problem.
    - Yeah.
    Call Matt at Media Lab.
    He's got some Skycams
    and he owes me.
    - Where are all my weathermen?
    - Right here.
    - [MAN]: Hey.
    - Hello.
    Thank you all for coming.
    You guys look great.
    Thanks for being here. Good.
    Is there a reason
    they're all overweight?
    If they get
    the forecast wrong,
    research shows people
    are more willing
    to forgive a fat guy.
    Abby, I hate to do this to you,
    but I don't think that
    I can work with her anymore.
    It's bad enough I have
    to take her criticism at home.
    I'm not gonna
    do it on the air.
    - A man can only endure so much.
    - Larry, you are not a man,
    you are a newsman.
    And newsmen are not defined
    by the easy times,
    they're defined
    by the hard times.
    Can you imagine
    Ted Koppel or Tom Brokaw
    working with their
    wives as co-anchors? No.
    Because they
    couldn't handle it.
    But you.
    You, my friend,
    have balls the size
    of Volkswagens.
    Don't think
    I haven't noticed.
    I only thought of them
    as blue of late.
    But you're right.
    They're quite sizeable.
    But not disproportionately
    so,
    I like to think of them
    as aesthetically pleasing.
    Yeah, I think
    I made my point.
    - Are you kidding me right now?
    - Josh, nobody in Sacramento
    gives a crap about
    the extinction rate
    of the Brazilian slug worm.
    It's not newsworthy.
    All right. But knowing which
    celebutante is in rehab
    is of vital importance?
    You know, the sound
    of your voice makes...
    Okay. He is trying to kill me.
    - He knows I can't eat crab.
    - It's Crab Rangoon.
    Who doesn't eat Crab Rangoon?
    Oh, my God. Does anybody
    see this? Is that a hive?
    [JOSH]:
    Looks like syphilis to me.
    [DORI]: You wouldn't know
    what syphilis looks like
    if it weren't for my story
    on hot celebrity STDs.
    [BLOWS WHISTLE]
    - [MAN]: Stand by to go to three.
    - [ROCCO]: Yeah, so some...
    Cacciatore gets mushrooms,
    garlic. Exactly.
    - Yeah. Put the mushrooms in.
    - [GEORGIA]: All right.
    [ROCCO]: And whatever amount
    of garlic you want.
    - [LARRY]: Really?
    - [ROCCO]: Can't have enough garlic.
    [GEORGIA]:
    You can.
    LARRY: I certainly can.
    Do it every night.
    [ROCCO]: I got a nice,
    big spoon for you.
    [GEORGIA]:
    Excellent. Thanks.
    - Here you go.
    - Mm.
    - Mm!
    - That good?
    I have to say, Rocco,
    this is the best chicken
    cacciatore I've ever tasted.
    I knew you'd like it.
    It's duck cacciatore, actually.
    - [CLIFF]: Oh, no.
    - Did he just say "duck"?
    And it's a great
    alternative to chicken.
    It kind of tastes
    just like chicken, right?
    - Mm-hm.
    - Duck, like "quack, quack" duck?
    Get ready to an early break.
    Yeah.
    - Whoa, duck.
    - Yeah.
    Man, we're a
    chicken household.
    [LAUGHS]
    We really are.
    Tell Larry to throw it to Javier
    while she pulls it together.
    Or is it okay?
    It's good.
    Javier, do you like it?
    Mm.
    Can I take home
    the leftovers?
    You sure you don't want
    any leftovers?
    When we return,
    - our Skycam traffic update.
    - Okay.
    And guess who's
    in rehab this week.
    CLIFF: Stand by to roll break.
    Also, how you too can adopt
    your very own slug worm,
    when we come back.
    Roll your break.
    ROCCO: How about salt?
    Salt make it better?
    [MUTTERING]
    I don't know how you do it.
    It's just a matter of looking
    chaos right in the eye
    and telling it to eff off.
    You guys did great.
    Thank you.
    I think it's time for a new chef
    on this show. I do.
    Now, come on.
    Rocco's been with us...
    - Abby?
    - It's this upsetting?
    Hey, Stuart wants to see you.
    He's freaking out.
    Oh, he got the ratings.
    - Want some?
    - Yeah, give me that.
    Have you seen the ratings
    from yesterday?
    We got beat by all
    the network shows,
    including a rerun of
    Who's the Boss?
    The one where
    the vacuum breaks.
    It's just a temporary setback,
    Stuart.
    Things will be better
    tomorrow.
    You know that guy
    with the cable-access show
    on Channel 83 does better.
    If we program
    Jerry Springer reruns,
    we'd do a nine-share
    at a quarter of the price.
    Please don't tell me
    you're thinking
    of killing the show.
    We're not a family-run station
    anymore, Abby.
    I mean, I love you.
    You're great at what you do.
    But you gotta
    get me some numbers.
    I got two daughters in college
    and a son in beauty school.
    I don't know how much
    you know about Vidal Sassoon,
    but that shit ain't cheap.
    [SIGHS]
    I can rally. I will rally.
    You do rally.
    Every day, Abby.
    But that's
    what worries me.
    That even you
    won't be enough.
    I should not be letting
    corporate management
    dictate the content
    of this show. It's my show.
    I control it.
    I should skip the date tonight.
    Stay home,
    think up some ideas for sweeps.
    Absolutely not, Abby.
    You should be out there
    observing humanity.
    Humanity is who watches
    our show.
    Yeah.
    All 2.47 percent of them.
    You have rescheduled
    on this guy three times.
    You cancel on him tonight
    and he's gone.
    Look at this bone structure.
    This could be the bone structure
    of your future children.
    Don't you want them
    to be symmetrical?
    You printed out his profile?
    What? These have
    not been touched
    in quite some time.
    I have to live vicariously
    through your dating life.
    And I really think that this
    could be our next boyfriend.
    - Hi.
    - Hello.
    I'm looking for a guy
    with sandy brown hair,
    athletic build, blue eyes.
    He's 5'9".
    Which I know you're thinking
    is a little short,
    but he's read
    The Great Gatsby twice...
    Well, technically
    I'm 5'8" and a half,
    but I could read
    The Great Gatsby
    again if it makes
    it any better.
    [WAITER]: Hi. Can I get some water
    for the table?
    Uh, yeah, a bottle
    of flat water, please?
    - Sure.
    - Thank you.
    Um, just one second.
    I'm sorry.
    Did you know they've done
    studies that show
    tap water and bottled water
    are basically the same thing.
    And they recently passed
    a law where restaurants
    have to filter their tap water,
    so it's not really tap water,
    it's filtered water,
    which is the same
    except you don't have to pay
    $7 for it. Right?
    I like the way
    it tastes better anyway.
    Can I get a Scotch on the rocks,
    please? Thank you.
    Oh, yeah.
    Huh. I thought, uh...
    I thought in your profile
    it said you, uh...
    You like to drink red wine.
    You printed out my profile?
    Actually,
    my associate producer did.
    She doesn't like me
    to not be prepared.
    Not that I'm ever not prepared.
    Kudos, by the way,
    on your comprehensive
    car insurance plan.
    That wasn't in my profile.
    No, but it's in your
    background check.
    So, ahem,
    tell me about yourself.
    Well, what's
    left to talk about
    that you don't already know,
    right?
    Ah. Good point.
    Ha-ha.
    All right,
    well, you know,
    I actually took the liberty
    of printing out
    some talking points
    in case this happened.
    I take it this
    has happened before?
    No. No. But you have
    nine out of 10
    of the necessary attributes
    on my checklist.
    Oh, dear God. Okay.
    Oh, this is a good one.
    Let's start with three, okay?
    []
    [CAT MEOWS]
    Don't ask.
    [PURRING]
    [SIGHS]
    More on this story
    when we come back.
    We'll hear from a zoo official
    now forced to take...
    [MAN]: And we're back with
    The Ugly Truth,
    where tonight
    we're gonna be talking about
    what it is men and women
    really want in relationships.
    I've been looking through
    some books.
    Smart Women,
    Foolish Choices. Ehh!
    Men Who Love Women
    Who Hate Them. Ehh!
    And Women Hating Men
    Who Loved Women
    Who Hate Loving Men. Huh?
    Billions and billions wasted
    on psychobabble bullshit.
    Now, listen up, ladies, because
    I'm only gonna say this once
    and it is just
    three little words.
    [CHUCKLES]
    Men are simple.
    We cannot be trained.
    All this
    "Men are from Venus" crap
    is a waste of your time
    and money.
    You wanna be a lonely hag,
    then that's fine,
    keep reading
    these stupid books.
    But you want a relationship,
    then here's how you get one:
    It's called a Stairmaster.
    Get on it, and get skinny,
    and get some trashy lingerie
    while you're at it,
    because at the end of the day,
    all we're interested
    in is looks.
    And no one falls in love
    with your personality
    at first sight.
    We fall in love
    with your tits and your ass,
    and we stick around because
    of what you're willing
    to do with them.
    So you wanna win a man over,
    you don't need 10 steps,
    you need one,
    and it's called a blowjob.
    And don't forget to...
    [SCOFFS]
    Okay? Now, let's
    take the first caller.
    [WOMAN]:
    How dare you burn those books.
    They've helped my personal life
    more than I can say.
    What's your boyfriend's name,
    princess?
    [WOMAN]: Well,
    I'm not seeing anyone right now.
    My point exactly, Shrek.
    Next caller.
    You're on the air.
    So you're saying that men
    are incapable of love?
    Oh, did I burst your little
    harlequin romance bubble?
    What? Come on.
    The only thing you burst
    is your credibility.
    Men are completely capable
    of experiencing love.
    Okay, I'll bite.
    Go on. Who's the guy?
    - What?
    - The guy. Mr. Wonderful.
    The one who's
    so capable of love.
    Who is he? What's he like?
    He's smart, he's handsome
    but he doesn't know it.
    He's successful, but in a job
    that means something.
    [SNORING]
    He loves red wine, picnics,
    classical music.
    Mm, this is a guy
    in America, right?
    I mean, you're not calling
    from Europe or something?
    He loves dogs,
    but he's more of a cat person.
    He never gets up before you
    on a Sunday morning.
    Wait a second, I get it.
    You're a lesbian.
    - What?
    - Well, you must be.
    I mean, you just described
    the perfect woman.
    Why are you so threatened
    by these qualities?
    Is it perhaps because you don't
    possess a single one of them
    and that is the real reason
    why women aren't
    interested in you? Hm?
    Okay. Okay, I'll give you
    to go get this guy
    and bring him down here
    and let me meet him.
    Well, he's out there,
    somewhere.
    Wait a second.
    You're not even
    dating this guy?
    No, I'm describing a type.
    I thought that's
    what we were doing.
    Ha-ha-ha! What?
    You don't even know him?
    Oh, whoa, okay,
    now I get the picture.
    Hold on. Oh, you're a dog.
    What?
    Well, you must be.
    Come on, you heard me.
    I mean, if you were...
    If you were hot,
    you would be out
    breaking some poor
    schmuck's heart
    instead of spending
    all your time fantasizing
    about Mr. Wonderful.
    Face it, you're ugly.
    I am not ugly.
    Well, okay,
    let me help you out here.
    You might as well face the fact
    that you're gonna be alone,
    and stop pining away
    for some fantasy guy
    you're never gonna get.
    - How can you possibly...?
    - Hey, Lassie.
    The show's called
    The Ugly Truth.
    If you can't face it,
    don't call.
    That about
    wraps it up for this evening.
    I'm Mike Chadway reminding you
    that the truth is never pretty.
    JOY:
    How'd the date go?
    Well, I was very pleased
    with the choice of restaurant.
    - That is so awesome.
    - Why?
    [STUART]:
    Good morning, everyone.
    [ALL]:
    Morning.
    Now, before I play you this,
    I should warn you,
    this guy's a little rough
    around the edges.
    Face it, you're ugly.
    [ABBY]:
    I am not ugly.
    - [MIKE]: Well...
    - Why are we watching this?
    Say hello to
    our new guest commentator.
    I'm starting him off at
    two segments a week,
    three minutes a pop.
    - Are you kidding me?
    - Who the hell is this guy?
    - Name's Mike Chadway.
    - [ABBY]: He's an uber-moron
    misogynist who represents
    everything that is wrong
    with television and society.
    I get crap every time
    I suggest we do something
    even remotely fluffy.
    Oh, come on.
    He's got a point of view.
    We don't have to like it.
    I mean, we're newspeople.
    We're objective.
    Stone Phillips interviews
    terrorists.
    Doesn't mean he likes them,
    he does it for the ratings.
    I have a whole list of ideas
    to improve ratings.
    You're gonna like it.
    We don't need him.
    - We don't need him.
    - Not at all.
    "An intimate profile
    of the mayor".
    - Yes.
    - [GEORGIA]: I like that.
    - I like the mayor.
    - Fantastic.
    The mayor?
    Yes. It can be edgy
    and yet intriguing.
    Unless you can get him to bang
    three crack whores
    and a German shepherd
    on live TV,
    no one's gonna give a shit.
    Oh, I'm sorry.
    I was eavesdropping
    out in the hall.
    [LAUGHING]
    What did I tell you?
    Isn't this guy great?
    Oh, thanks, boss.
    You already hired him?
    Who's this
    delightful creature?
    I'm your producer.
    Oh. Hey.
    I like a woman on top.
    [GEORGIA]:
    Ugh. God.
    - Nice office.
    - Ha-ha! He's just kidding.
    - Oh, yeah.
    - Excuse me.
    - Hey, Mike, you see your office?
    - No, I didn't.
    - Come on. Let me show you.
    - Beautiful.
    Everybody take five.
    I'll be right back.
    Were you all not there
    last year...
    for our
    sexual-harassment meeting?
    - Yes. Were you not there, Larry?
    - He needs to go.
    He wasn't
    sexually harassing me.
    I am an award-winning
    news producer.
    I am an award-winning
    news producer.
    I am an award-winning
    news producer.
    I am an awa...
    You're an award-winning
    news producer.
    You don't knock?
    Well, I did knock.
    You didn't answer.
    So essentially,
    your knock was negated
    by your complete
    lack of adherence
    to the social etiquette
    that follows a knock.
    [CHUCKLES]
    You're wound like a fucking top.
    Woof, woof.
    Remember the bark?
    Last night, a little
    phone conversation we had.
    Yeah. Hey, what do you know?
    You're not ugly at all.
    Oh, well,
    imagine my relief.
    I want to thank you
    for getting me this gig.
    I would never have gotten it
    without you.
    You and I, we make good TV.
    You make imbecilic trash
    watched by housebound
    inbreds who are so busy
    with their hands
    down their pants,
    they can't change the remote.
    I hadn't been picturing you
    that way, but it's a nice image.
    I do not watch
    your program.
    My cat stepped
    on the remote.
    [CLEARS THROAT]
    Oh, you want to thank
    your pussy for me, then?
    Ugh!
    Larry, Georgia, listen to me.
    I want you to skewer him.
    I want Mike Chadway
    to go down in flames.
    I want Mike Chadway to be
    nothing but a pile of ash
    on the seat next to you.
    I want the janitor to come in
    and vacuum up the ashes
    of Mike Chadway
    with his Dustbuster
    and when he dumps it
    in the Dumpster outside,
    I want the rats to vomit
    and defecate
    on the ashes of Mike Chadway.
    Wow. And I thought
    you were angry and bitter.
    Uh, no, Larry, that would be
    my untouched vagina.
    - [MAN]: Chadway?
    - What?
    Twenty seconds to air.
    [WOMAN]:
    About ready? Larry?
    There's a bird
    in my dressing room.
    [MAN]:
    I'll take care of it.
    - A real bird?
    - Yeah. It's flying around.
    Why is there a bird
    in his dressing room?
    I don't know
    what type of bird it is.
    Security here is awful.
    You guys have really got
    to keep the doors closed.
    [MAN]:
    Four, three...
    [MUSIC PLAYS OVER SPEAKERS]
    Good morning, everyone,
    I'm Larry Freeman.
    Another beautiful day
    in Sacramento.
    And I'm sitting here
    with a beautiful woman.
    - [CLIFF]: Go, 1.
    - [STUART]: All right, here we go.
    [GEORGIA LAUGHS]
    [GEORGIA]:
    Thank you, Larry.
    Hi. I'm Georgia Bordeney.
    [CLIFF]:
    Ready for the single on Georgia.
    For years,
    there have been concerns
    about lowering
    television standards.
    But many believe that this man
    and his local
    public-access show
    have brought things
    to a new low.
    With that,
    we welcome Mike Chadway.
    How you doing, guys?
    Mike, how do you respond
    to people
    who say your show is offensive?
    Well, it is.
    But then again, so is the truth.
    Ha. The truth about what,
    Mr. Chadway?
    What relationships
    are really like.
    Take marriage, for instance.
    It's about social pressure,
    status and sex.
    If it weren't for these
    three things,
    men and women
    wouldn't even speak.
    Oh, dear. Sounds to me
    like no one's ever loved you,
    and you're taking that out
    on the female population.
    [BOTH LAUGHING]
    Good one.
    It's like Crossfire.
    That was a good one.
    While we're making
    these observations, Georgia,
    you two project this image
    of the perfect couple,
    when clearly it's a lie.
    []
    Excuse me?
    Holy shit.
    Oh. Break for commercial.
    No, no, no.
    Stuart said keep rolling
    no matter what.
    What? When? This is my show.
    BOTH:
    Not right now, it isn't.
    Come on, Larry.
    I watched your show for years.
    You used to be this cool,
    confident cat.
    What the hell
    happened to you?
    And you, Georgia. I mean,
    this one's no dumb bunny.
    She knew the only way she was
    getting off the weekend shift
    was by hooking up
    with you.
    Then, lo and behold, she became
    more popular than you did.
    Ended up with twice
    your salary.
    Come on, Larry, take him down.
    [JOY]:
    Shh!
    Hold on, pal. I am very proud
    of my wife's success.
    [MIKE]: Mm, baloney, you are.
    You hate her success.
    You feel emasculated by her.
    And that screws with your head.
    Which, in turn,
    screws with your manhood.
    [GEORGIA]:
    What's your point, Mr. Chadway?
    - Yes, Georgia, take control.
    - [MIKE]: My point, Georgia...
    My point is
    that your husband
    hasn't had
    sex with you in...
    I'm gonna say,
    what, three months?
    - Chadway, that is not my fault.
    - I know.
    - I mean, come on.
    - I know, I know. It's her fault.
    Why is it my fault?
    What am I supposed to do?
    Say no to the money
    so he can get an erection?
    She said "erection"
    on network TV.
    The other networks do it.
    No big deal.
    - They're talking about erections.
    - Be quiet!
    They say "erection"
    on Sesame Street.
    - I agree.
    - Thank you.
    You've economically
    emasculated your husband
    to such a point
    that he's afraid to want you.
    - Ugh.
    - I mean, sure,
    you could dump his ass, but,
    honey,
    have you seen the eligible men
    in Sacramento? Oh, God.
    It's slim pickings for a woman
    in her 40s, I can tell you.
    Forties?
    Oh, God.
    [CLIFF]: Hold that shot
    with Georgia and Mike.
    He just talked about her age.
    - She's gonna kill me.
    - Well.
    Forty?
    I mean, you ain't gonna do
    any better than Larry.
    - You just have to let him be a man.
    - Hm?
    - Let him be a man, Georgia.
    - I let him be a man.
    You have to let me be a man.
    I have tried to let you
    be a man.
    - Let him be a man.
    - You have to let me be a man.
    Simple as that. Now, you,
    Frowny McFlaccid, come on.
    Oh, God.
    [CLIFF]: Ready for a three-shot.
    Zoom In.
    - I'm not frowny.
    - Yes, you are.
    Move in here and give
    this beautiful woman a kiss.
    [GEORGIA]:
    Oh, God.
    This is ridiculous.
    McFlaccid?
    - That mean what I think it means?
    - [MIKE]: Yes, it does. Kiss her.
    No, no, no.
    They're not gonna...
    Give it to her,
    right in front of me.
    - And in front of them.
    - Let me...
    Goddamn it, Georgia,
    let me be a man!
    - No!
    - Oh! Zoom in on that, 2. Zoom in.
    America doesn't wanna see this!
    And that, my friends,
    is the ugly truth.
    Get ready to roll to break.
    Ready to roll...
    Oh, you are a man.
    He is a man. Break.
    Cut to commercial!
    Cut to commercial!
    That was great!
    Wasn't that great?
    I told you
    that guy was great.
    Good job,
    everybody. Wow!
    [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
    [JOY]:
    Abby?
    Found her.
    over 300 e-mails, 53 percent
    of them were women.
    This guy's
    a lightning rod.
    They liked him?
    Liked him?
    They loved him.
    - How is that possible?
    - [STUART]: I don't know.
    But I am
    scaling back the news
    and giving it
    to The Ugly Truth.
    Stuart, I really think
    this is a mistake.
    What do we even
    know about this guy?
    Who is he, really?
    Moved here when he was 10,
    pitched two consecutive
    Little League Championships.
    Cute.
    Voted "Most Likely
    to Get Slapped"
    in his senior yearbook.
    Three years at San Jos State.
    Salesman of the Year at
    Dobson Medical Supplies in '04.
    Once arrested for urinating
    out of a moving vehicle.
    That is actually
    incredibly challenging.
    Tell me about it.
    Never been married,
    hates asparagus.
    Look, let's just keep a smile
    on this guy's face,
    and we'll both get
    our contracts renewed.
    Congratulations?

    [WOMAN 1 ON RECORDING]:
    Mike. Hi, it's Lauren.
    I'm having a party on Saturday
    and you know what happens
    when I drink tequila.
    Ha-ha-ha.
    [MACHINE BEEPS]
    [WOMAN 2]: It's me, Nikki.
    Why haven't you called me? I miss you.
    - I can't stop...
    - [BOY]: Hey.
    thinking about your huge...
    [MACHINE BEEPS]
    Who's that?
    Rubbing all over my...
    [MACHINE BEEPS]
    - Dripping wet...
    - How was...?
    How was school?
    - Well, you totally hosed me.
    - What?
    Last week on your show,
    you said,
    "Always be mean to hot girls
    because they'll want you more".
    Well, I tried it on Shauna.
    She cried,
    and then I got detention.
    First of all, don't listen
    to what I say on my show.
    Second of all, you're supposed
    to do that to 25-year-old girls
    who think they're hot and
    can get any guy they want,
    not 14-year-old girls.
    They're going through puberty.
    They got enough problems.
    Mom said when she was 14,
    she was the prettiest girl
    in class.
    Well, I was there when
    she was 14,
    and let me tell you something.
    She lied.
    Don't listen to your Uncle Mike.
    He was blind from touching
    himself inappropriately.
    Ha. That's a nice thing
    to tell your son.
    Like he hasn't heard worse
    on your show.
    Let's hope you can clean it up
    now that you're on a network.
    Congrats.

    D'Artagnan, no, you didn't!
    No, D'Artagnan, you get
    back here. Get back here.
    No, do not... No, no, no.

    [ABBY]:
    D'Artagnan.
    D'Artagnan!
    Shit!
    All right.
    I'll just come up.
    I'm really not that flexible,
    D'Artagnan. I'm coming.
    I got you, hold on.
    Hold on. Come here, baby.
    No, no. No, no. Come on.
    Come here, D'Artagnan.
    Good boy.
    Oh, good boy. Okay.
    Okay. You're gonna be okay.
    Oh. I hope we can get down.

    Oh, my.

    Oh, my.
    My, my.
    Ooh.

    [SCREAMING]
    Oh, my God!
    Oh, my God.
    Somebody help me!
    Somebody help me!
    I'm stuck in a tree!
    Help me! Anybody!
    - I'm stuck in a tree! I'm stuck!
    - Stay, stay calm.
    - You're gonna be fine.
    - Get me down! Get me down!
    Sorry. Oh, my God.
    So you just moved in.
    That's great.
    I'm Abby, by the way.
    Your neighbor
    from across the way.
    So you're a doctor? Wow.
    An orthopedic surgeon.
    Yeah, I do a lotta
    leg and hip stuff,
    but I do get
    the occasional foot.
    [GIGGLES]
    Your ankle seems to be fine.
    Just a mild sprain,
    so this should help.
    Great. Thank you.
    I guess I'm pretty lucky
    my cat chose the tree
    outside your window to climb.
    [CHUCKLES]
    Well, I'm here
    whenever you need me.
    Look, I'm gonna put
    my home number
    on the back
    of my business card.
    If your ankle starts giving you
    any problems,
    just give me a call.
    - Great. Thanks.
    - [D'ARTAGNAN MEOWS]
    [PURRING]
    Oh, wow, that's so weird.
    He doesn't usually like men.
    Well, you know,
    dogs are great, but, uh...
    I'm a cat person.
    [CHUCKLES]
    Yeah.
    Well, I guess
    I'll get going, then.
    Yeah.
    Yeah.
    Yeah. Ha-ha.
    [ABBY SIGHS]
    - Thanks again for saving my life.
    - Anytime.
    - Okay. Bye.
    - Okay. Bye.
    [MEOWS]
    - You forgot your cat.
    - Right.
    I had a spider on me. Ugh.
    - Yeah.
    - It's gone now, though. Good.
    - All right, okay.
    - Bye.
    - Thanks again.
    - Good night.
    You are not gonna believe
    how perfect he is.
    - Symmetrical?
    - Oh, you have no idea.
    - Oh, good Lord.
    - Yeah.
    Well, how did you leave it?
    I mean, did he ask
    for your number?
    No, but he gave me his.
    So what do I do?
    Should I call him?
    If I call do call him,
    what should I say?
    - Okay. Take a breath.
    - Uh-huh.
    And please, sweetheart,
    - No tap water.
    - No tap water.
    Don't bring it up.
    You've got naughty eyes.
    - Anyone ever tell you that?
    - I have naughty everything.
    Hold that thought.
    [MIKE]: No, hey,
    you won't get in trouble.
    Down a bit. Down a bit.
    Okay.
    Bye, Karen.
    [CLEARS THROAT]
    Keep it clean, moving,
    stick to the script.
    You are on a live
    affiliate news program.
    You do not have the luxury
    of using the words
    "blow" and "job"
    in the same sentence.
    If you say anything
    scatological,
    you will be fired.
    - Oh, really?
    - Yes.
    Because I kind of thought
    that you were the one
    that was gonna get fired
    if you don't keep me happy.
    Yes. I've got a list of demands
    that I would like to make
    after the show,
    and let me just warn you,
    they're gonna be
    scatological.
    Ow. Ah.
    You know, just because
    you look pretty today,
    I won't mention the misguided
    phallic rage you just displayed.
    When you hear my voice,
    just do what I say.
    Heh-heh.
    Promise you'll talk dirty?
    [BOTH CHUCKLE]
    [LARRY]: Good morning,
    Sacramento. I'm Larry Freeman.
    [GEORGIA]:
    And I'm Georgia Bordeney.
    [MIKE]:
    And I'm Mike Chadway.
    And this is The Ugly Truth.
    Where we'll be taking
    a few minutes every day
    to talk about men, women
    and relationships.
    Let's start with men.
    Men are simple.
    To illustrate my point,
    here we have
    a classic romantic setting.
    We have, uh, candlelight,
    champagne, and even
    your own personal violinist.
    Now,
    over here, we have something
    quite different.
    [MAN]: This isn't on my list.
    Ha-ha-ha! Follow me.
    [MAN]:
    Is the segment over?
    Where the hell's he going?
    - Follow him. Follow him.
    - Go with him, Remote.
    Go with him, Remote 1.
    Hey.
    Babes wrestling in Jell-O.
    - Oh, Jell-O. That's great.
    - Hello? Abby?
    There's people calling
    - and freaking out.
    - Oh, Jesus.
    - Sit down!
    - Turn the monitor up.
    Let's take a quick survey
    and see which option
    the men out there would pick.
    We have classical music
    and candle-lit dinner,
    or semi-naked chicks wrestling
    in strawberry-flavored goo.
    Aah!
    [LAUGHING]
    [CROWD CHEERING]
    Oh, shit.
    All right.
    If we're gonna do this,
    we might as well milk it.
    Two, get ready to go wide.
    One, tight on his hand.
    Lick the Jell-O off her finger.
    [OVER HEADSET]
    Lick the Jell-O off her finger.
    Just do it.
    [CROWD CHEERING AND HOOTING]
    I was wrong. It's cherry.
    Back to you in the studio,
    Georgia. Bye.
    [MIKE LAUGHING]
    Uh...
    Coming up,
    we're gonna visit the aquarium
    and see how
    Penny the Porpoise is doing.
    Can she
    clear that 10-foot pole
    with a ball on her nose?
    When we come back.
    When we come back.
    [BREATHING DEEPLY]
    Chemistry.
    I smell threesome.
    Ah.
    Great job, ladies.
    I can still taste you.
    You know what I mean.
    [CLEARS THROAT]
    Huh?
    Do you realize that
    I once had the Archbishop
    Desmond Tutu on this show?
    Who's that?
    I can't even demonstrate
    how far I've fallen
    because you're not smart enough
    to get the references.
    Hey, wait, wait, wait. I thought
    we were a great team back there.
    You were the one that
    told me to lick the Jell-O.
    Do you understand
    how much I hate myself for that?
    It was cheap titillation.
    I am now going
    to broadcasting hell
    right behind the naked
    weather girl from Canada.
    Seriously?
    There's a
    naked weather girl?
    Hey, can we get her?
    You have to do it
    for the ratings, Abby.
    Think of my son.
    My son, who had a dream
    of being a cosmetician.
    Think about him.
    Think about Joy.
    Just do it for me.
    Today it'll be partly sunny
    with a cloud cover moving in
    from my left breast.
    Low pressure systems
    are moving up,
    so expect a cold front.
    [GIGGLES]
    [GASPS]
    [MAN ON TV]: Watch Mike Chadway
    on Sacramento A.M.,
    giving us The Ugly Truth
    each and every day
    at 9:00, right here
    on Channel 2.
    Oh, God.
    I used
    to really like caviar,
    until I found out it was
    made out of fish eggs.
    - Did you know that?
    - Caviar's revolting.
    - I almost started to gag.
    - Morning, ladies.
    - John.
    - Yesterday's ratings.
    Oh. Thanks, John.
    Guess I should be happy
    about this, right?
    Uh, yeah. Yeah. You've never
    gotten a 12-share before.
    I feel dirty.
    Did you hear about
    the ratings?
    Yes,
    I am the producer.
    Well, then did you hear that
    corporate's coming next week
    to take me out to dinner?
    Oh. Well, let's hope you can
    chew with your mouth closed.
    [CHUCKLES]
    Why do you hate my guts?
    Your innards are of
    no consequence to me.
    It's what you represent.
    - Oh, you hate the truth.
    - Ha.
    Your skewed perception
    of male-female interaction
    is not the truth.
    But your imaginary
    boyfriend's the truth?
    For your information,
    I happened to meet him.
    Mm. Well, I hope
    he's real this time,
    because otherwise
    this is just sad.
    Oh, he's real.
    He's very real.
    Not to mention stunningly
    handsome, morally sound.
    He's a surgeon.
    An orthopedic surgeon.
    - You know what that means.
    - What?
    Had to stick his finger up
    some guy's butt
    in medical school.
    You disgust me.
    So did Butt Boy ask you out?
    Not yet.
    We're taking things slow,
    getting to know
    each other first.
    Why am I
    talking to you about this?
    In other words,
    he didn't actually ask you out.
    What are you doing?
    [LINE RINGING]
    [WOMAN ON PHONE]:
    Doctor's office.
    Hi. This is Abby Richter
    calling for Dr. Anderson.
    Please hold.
    Yes, I'll hold.
    - What're you doing?
    - Shh!
    - Why are you calling this guy?
    - Shh.
    - Shh.
    - No.
    - [COLIN]: Dr. Anderson.
    - Hi, Colin. This is Abby.
    Your neighbor
    from last night.
    Hey. Everything okay?
    How's the, uh,
    ankle treating you?
    Couldn't be better.
    I was just calling
    to let you know
    how much I enjoyed
    meeting you last night.
    Thanks.
    Uh,
    and I was thinking we should
    go out for dinner sometime.
    Oh.
    There is a new
    French bistro in town
    and an art opening
    that got amazing reviews.
    [MOUTHING WORDS]
    So I was thinking
    we could go on Friday.
    Um, Friday.
    Oh. Wow.
    Would Saturday be better?
    Actually,
    Abby, the thing is,
    I haven't really settled in yet.
    What the hell
    are you doing?
    I'm saving you.
    He was blowing you off.
    He wasn't blowing me off!
    Don't. Okay, he'll be
    expecting you to call him.
    And when you don't,
    he'll call back.
    How do you know?
    Because I know how men operate.
    If you want it to
    work out with this guy,
    then you'll listen to me,
    and you'll do exactly as I say.
    You've probably already done
    irreparable damage
    with your psycho-aggressive
    control-freak phone call.
    It might even be too late.
    And if you do salvage
    the situation,
    you'll never be more than Abby,
    his desperate neighbor.
    I'm not desperate.
    Why? Did you think
    I sounded desperate?
    Listen to you.
    Desperately asking me
    if you sound desperate.
    [SIGHS]
    [PHONE RINGING]
    - Ah! Oh!
    - Okay.
    Although you won't admit it,
    you know that I know
    what I'm talking about.
    It's your call, dude.
    Fine. What do I do?
    Pick up and say, "Hey, Doug".
    - Why would I...?
    - Just do it.
    Hey, Doug.
    Uh, no.
    This is Colin.
    Oh, my God!
    I'm so sorry.
    [WHISPERS]
    That's perfect.
    Uh, who's,
    uh, Doug?
    [WHISPERS]
    Who's Doug?
    He's just a guy I'm seeing.
    It's nothing serious.
    Just a guy I'm seeing.
    It's nothing serious.
    Oh, okay.
    - Hang on a second.
    - Hang on a second.
    Sure.
    Now what?
    Now just make him wait.
    If he's still holding
    after 30 more seconds,
    you may
    actually have a chance.
    No one's gonna wait
    for somebody
    they're trying to blow off.
    You better
    be right about this.
    Just give me a little time,
    I'm gonna make this guy
    your bitch.
    I don't want a bitch.
    Colin would never be a bitch.
    He is a well-rounded man
    capable of mature emotions
    and deep, abiding love.
    Things which
    you know not of.
    Maybe not.
    But I do know about lust,
    seduction and manipulation.
    Things that you know not of.
    Abby, I'll make you a deal.
    If you do exactly as I say,
    and you get this guy,
    then you'll quit giving me shit
    and you'll work with me.
    You know as well as I do that
    we could make this show huge.
    And if it doesn't work?
    What do I get?
    Then I'll quit.
    You're really
    that confident?
    It's been more than 30 seconds.
    All right, deal. Now what?
    Always make an impression.
    Let's get a move on.
    We have work to do.
    But what about the...?
    In five seconds,
    he'll call. Come on.
    What are you,
    Nostradamus?
    [PHONE RINGING]
    Amazing.
    [LAUGHS]
    Rule number one:
    never criticize.
    Even if it's constructive?
    Never.
    Men are incapable of growth,
    change or progress.
    For men, self-improvement
    ends at toilet training.
    - Huh.
    - Mm.
    And rule number two:
    laugh at whatever he says.
    What if what he says
    isn't funny?
    That's irrelevant.
    A fake laugh is like
    a fake orgasm.
    A fake orgasm is good?
    No, but a fake orgasm
    is better than no orgasm at all.
    A fake orgasm is no orgasm.
    Only to you.
    You're not the only person
    in the room, you know.
    Let's not be selfish.
    [LAUGHS]
    Now, that was perfect.
    Real or fake?
    You'll never know.
    My face to the sky
    Dreaming about just how high
    Rule number three:
    men are very visual.
    We have to change your look.
    What's wrong with my look?
    Abby, you're a very
    attractive woman,
    but you are completely
    inaccessible.
    You're all about
    comfort and efficiency.
    What's wrong with comfort
    and efficiency?
    Well, nothing,
    except no one wants to fuck it.
    Hello. May I be of assistance?
    Yes, you may.
    We need cocktail dresses,
    tight jeans and some bras
    that'll make my friend's breasts
    sit up and say hello.
    They're not saying hello now?
    What are they saying?
    Actually, they're giving off
    more of a passing nod
    rather than
    an outright greeting.
    You know what?
    Why don't you try this on?
    I think this would be wonderful.
    Ha-ha!
    Now, that is a bra.
    Mm-hm.
    Boobies in this thing say,
    "Put me in your mouth,
    I taste good".
    I'm actually wearing one
    right now as we speak.
    [MIKE]:
    Length is very important.
    We need short enough
    to see some thigh,
    but not so short to see vag.
    Mm. Vag says
    you're trying too hard.
    You think?
    Jeans are all about
    the curvature of the ass.
    You've... Well,
    you've got the raw materials.
    Now all you need is
    the proper presentation.
    Did you just tell me
    I have a nice ass?
    Do you always have
    to be so crass?
    [SLAPS]
    Oh!
    Rule number four:
    never talk about your problems
    because men don't
    really listen or care.
    - Some men care.
    - No, some men pretend to care.
    When we ask you how you're
    doing, it's just guy code for:
    "Let me stick
    my dick in your ass".
    Ugh!
    Oh, I know you think
    Colin is above it all,
    but trust me, he's a guy.
    If he's even remotely into you,
    he's probably thought about
    each one of your orifices
    at least 10 times.
    I love how you assume all men
    are as perverse as you are.
    Oh, I don't assume.
    I know.
    Wait. We need to make
    one more stop.
    Why? I have tons of stuff.
    Nah, we have to make
    your hair longer.
    Men like something to grab onto
    other than your ass.
    My hair is fine. There's
    nothing wrong with my hair.
    Abby, a ponytail implies
    that you are either
    operating heavy machinery
    or emptying the litter box.
    Neither of those things
    inspires an erection.
    Why is it my responsibility
    to inspire an erection?
    Why isn't that his job?
    Shut up.
    [FOOTSTEPS UPSTAIRS]
    []
    Well? What do you think?
    Uh... Not bad.
    I just...
    I don't wanna be perceived
    as a bimbo. I mean...
    And I don't want you
    to be a bimbo.
    You have to be two people:
    the saint and the sinner.
    The librarian
    and the stripper.
    On the one hand,
    you have to push the guy away
    with a cold indifference,
    on the other, you have to be
    a sexually teasing tornado.
    Now, we have to teach
    you flirting.
    I know how to flirt.
    You know how to flirt?
    "Oh, my name's Abby,
    and I love reading Tolstoy.
    I also love cats, gardening,
    and romantic picnics".
    I don't think so.
    [IN DEEP VOICE] Hey, babe,
    you wearing any underwear?
    Hey, you know what?
    I wouldn't say that,
    and I wouldn't grab ass.
    What's wrong
    with a little ass-grabbing?
    - What's it there for if not to grab it?
    - Oh!
    You're just a set of orifices
    and a pair of teetahs.
    And you are a deeply,
    deeply disturbed person.
    [IN NORMAL VOICE] Hm. Maybe I'm just
    a really good student.
    - Would you stop doing that?
    - Doing what?
    Uh, running your finger
    down there.
    Over me.
    Why?
    Is it turning you on?
    [SCOFFS]
    - Maybe.
    - Heh.
    It's weird,
    I think I kinda like it.
    Really?
    - Sucker.
    - Oh, I knew it.
    - Okay, no teaching the teacher.
    - Come on.
    [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
    - Who is it?
    - [COLIN]: It's Colin.
    I'm not ready for this.
    Am I ready for this?
    - I'm not ready for this.
    - Calm down. Shh!
    Okay. Keep the conversation
    under a minute. Now go.
    - Under a minute?
    - Yes.
    Under a minute.
    No, wait, wait, wait.
    Come here, come here.
    You're such an asshole.
    - Hi.
    - Hey.
    - Wow, you look great.
    - [ABBY]: Oh, thanks.
    Yeah, I was just
    doing the dishes.
    - So, what happened to you today?
    - What'd you mean?
    Well, you put me on hold
    and you never called back.
    - Oh, my God. Was that you?
    - Yeah.
    - I'm so sorry.
    - Ah, it's okay.
    Uh, Colin, would you mind
    giving me a call later?
    I'm just so busy.
    Gotta get back to those dishes.
    - [COLIN]: Abby, wait.
    - What now?
    No, that's good.
    Now make him suffer.
    Make him suffer. Suffer.
    [COLIN]: Abby, I was wondering
    if you'd like to go
    to the Devils game
    with me on Saturday.
    [SQUEALING QUIETLY]
    [MAN]:
    Go, Comets!
    ANNOUNCER [ON PA]:

    [MIKE OVER RADIO]: Okay, I have
    a visual. Nod if you can hear me.
    Just relax.
    It's gonna be fine.
    Now, do exactly
    what I tell you,
    and when
    I tell you to do it. Okay?
    You follow baseball?
    Do something noncommittal.
    Eh. Ha-ha-ha.
    You okay?
    I'm fine.
    That was a little over the top,
    but nice try.
    - Well, thanks.
    - For what?
    [CHUCKLES]
    Well, thanks for being you.
    - Mm-hm.
    - You're welcome.
    [CROWD CHEERING]
    Excuse me.
    Oh, my God.
    You're Mike Chadway.
    I love you.
    - Hey, buddy, what the hell?
    - Dude, what the fuck?
    - Dude, what the fuck?
    - What?
    [MIKE]: No, no, no.
    I'm not talking to you.
    I'm not talking to you.
    Okay, did I do something wrong?
    [CLEARS THROAT]
    No, stop. Listen.
    Tell him you saw him
    looking at another girl.
    I... I saw you.
    I saw you
    looking at another girl.
    - Who?
    - That girl, right there.
    I was trying to get us
    a couple hot dogs.
    - Oh. Okay.
    - Two. Thank you.
    Okay, we need a quick recovery.
    Um...
    Make sure you put the hot dog
    in your mouth nice and slowly.
    Men like watching
    penis-shaped food
    go into a girl's mouth.
    - Oh!
    - Oh!
    I'm so sorry.
    - Oh, God. I'm so, so sorry.
    - No, it's okay. Really.
    You know, I can get this out.
    I'm sure I can.
    - What kind of fabric is this?
    - I don't know. Cotton?
    Cotton. Ooh. Cotton's the worst.
    Well, actually,
    leather's the worst.
    - After that would be suede.
    - Okay.
    - I think I can get it out.
    - [MIKE]: Abby.
    [ABBY]: Oh, look,
    hold on. It's coming!
    [CROWD CHEERING]
    - Where?
    - There. Right there.
    [MIKE]: Abby? Abby,
    you might wanna look up.
    [ORGAN PLAYING "CHARGE"]
    [MIKE]:
    Way to go, Abby.
    [WHISPERING] Okay, I got you.
    I'm in position.
    Can't say today
    was boring.
    You're being nice.
    - I embarrassed you.
    - No.
    You're just, uh,
    not what I'm used to.
    I know.
    No, actually,
    it's a good thing.
    I'm used to women I can
    figure out in five seconds.
    But I can't
    do that with you.
    i[MIKE]: He's an idiot.
    I figured you out in two.
    Now, tell him good night
    and stick your tits out.
    We're gonna give
    this one last shot.
    Well, good night then.

    That definitely made up
    for my wet crotch.
    Ha. Me too.
    No, scratch that.
    I didn't have one.
    Yeah. Ha-ha.

    - Yeah.
    - Okay.

    Oh!
    [LAUGHING]
    You did it! You did it!
    You did it!
    I didn't do anything.
    You did!
    - It was you.
    - No.
    I mean, don't ask me why,
    but I think he likes you.
    - He's such a great guy, right?
    - Yeah, he's dreamy.
    Yeah. And he fits all 10
    of the criteria on my checklist.
    Right. Though weren't items
    one through nine
    something to do with him
    pretty much being gay?
    [SIGHS]
    I'm gonna ignore that,
    because I am in such
    a good mood.
    Yeah, I heard. Wet crotch.

    Of all the primates,
    bonobo monkeys
    are the closest relatives
    to human beings
    both genetically and socially.
    Especially when
    it comes to sex.
    They use sex
    as a way to end an argument.
    One of my favorite
    techniques as well.
    In fact, when they come upon
    a new food source,
    they have a gangbang
    in order to decrease tension...
    - Small person on-set.
    - Thanks.
    [MIKE]:... which is something
    we humans should look into.
    No, no, no.
    This is not for children.
    It's okay. I know him.
    - You do?
    - Yeah.
    [MIKE]:... sit on their asses
    all day and boss their men around.
    Sounds like a great argument
    for evolution if you ask me.
    And that, my friends,
    is the ugly truth.
    [MAN]:
    And we're wrapped.
    Heh-heh.
    Great job, Mike.
    Thank you.
    See you guys later.

    male bonobo monkey
    in my pants.
    I'd like to see that.
    Hey. What are you
    doing here?
    I told you no watching
    the show, especially live.
    JONAH:
    I need some emergency advice.
    Tracy Mclvor asked me
    to the Sadie Hawkins dance.
    Is it dorky if I say yes?
    Dorky?
    Hell, no. Are you kidding?
    You're ahead of the game.
    Women are coming to you.
    You know
    how cool that is?
    Relish
    this moment, okay?
    Now get the hell out of here.
    I'll see you at 5.
    - Okay.
    - We'll celebrate.
    JONAH:
    Don't forget the pizza, King Kong.
    Hey, have I ever?
    He lives with you?
    Well, next door, with my sister.
    Oh.
    He's my nephew.
    Oh.
    - Cute kid.
    - Yeah.
    Here, uh, do me.
    [BOTH CHUCKLE]
    - Okay. So guess what.
    - What?
    Colin called, he wants
    to get together again.
    Oh, Lord.
    Um, so how long should I wait
    to have sex with him?
    Well, the more you
    make him beg for it,
    the more you're gonna
    keep him on the hook.
    So do everything else but.
    But then show him
    that beneath that control-freak
    exterior of yours,
    that there's a sexual deviant
    waiting to be unleashed.
    No. No, I'm not
    a sexual deviant. Mm-mm.
    Good point.
    I'm guessing you've been
    out of practice for what,
    - a year?
    - No.
    - Eleven months.
    - God.
    Eleven months.
    How do you live? Come on.
    []
    So how often do you, uh...?
    Do I what?
    - Do I what?
    - You know,
    flick the bean?
    What bean?
    - Your bean. Flick it. Down there.
    - Oh!
    Gross! That's what you call it?
    What is wrong with you?
    No, well, actually,
    I call it masturbating,
    but I thought that might
    offend your delicate
    ladylike sensibilities.
    - So how often do you flick it?
    - I don't know.
    How often do you flick it?
    You're only asking me that so
    you can picture me flicking mine
    - while you flick yours.
    - Oh, no.
    I would never picture you
    while I do that,
    which is
    not something I do.
    - I don't do that, not ever.
    - Yes, you would.
    - No. No. No.
    - Never?
    I find it impersonal.
    Abby, what could be
    more personal
    than you
    flicking your bean?
    I just don't see myself
    that way, okay?
    Okay, well, I do.
    Come here. Ahem.
    Well, you better start.
    Because if you don't
    wanna have sex with you,
    - why the hell would Colin?
    - Hm.

    Uh-huh. Okay. Just conference me
    when you get a hold of her.
    Okay, bye. All right,
    so we have
    the balloon festival coming up
    and I thought for sweeps,
    it might be nice to do a segment
    on how men are full of hot air.
    - Right? It's good, right?
    - Heh. No.
    No. Well, we should still
    do some stuff on location,
    because you're great when
    you're interacting with people.
    I'm sorry, did you just
    say I'm great?
    Yeah, you kind of are.
    Hm. Back at you, babe.
    [CHUCKLES]
    So tell me this.
    Why hasn't some fancy
    New York show stolen you away?
    Oh, I much prefer
    Sacramento to New York.
    Ha. Come on.
    You just like being
    a big fish in a little pond.
    - No. No.
    - Mm.
    And Sacramento
    isn't really a pond,
    it's more of a lake,
    or even an estuary. Hm.
    And it's a great place
    to raise a family.
    Uh, really good
    school system.
    The parks are clean
    and well-maintained and safe.
    And there's a much lower
    divorce rate here than
    there is in New York.
    [SIGHS]
    Yes, well...
    Thank God Colin would never
    be into a woman like that.
    Oh, yeah, I forgot. Colin only
    likes women of quality, huh?
    That's a trait to be admired,
    not mocked, man-whore.
    Man-whore?
    Why am I a man-whore?
    I've seen you with
    the Funbag Twins, remember?
    Saw me what?
    What, you saw me introduce them
    to some network executives?
    They wanna be actresses, baby.
    I mean, who am I
    to kill their dream?
    [CHUCKLES]
    Mm, such a generous man.
    Now, you're telling me
    you've never slept with them?
    Well, no, I didn't say that.
    That's my point.
    Men, or man-whores,
    prefer women in slutty clothes
    who suck lots of cock.
    Every man wants that.
    And for your information,
    I only slept with the one
    who could read.
    Wait a second,
    did you just say "cock"?
    Yes. Yes, I did.
    I can say "cock".
    You don't own the word. Cock.
    Cock, cock, cock.
    Okay, I got it.
    A week ago, you were crying
    at the thought of a vibrator.
    Now you're, "cock this,
    cock that," cock, cock, cock.
    You slept with Colin,
    didn't you?
    No. No.
    [LAUGHS]
    We didn't. We're saving
    that for this weekend.
    He's taking me
    to Lake Tahoe.
    []
    Wow.
    [CHUCKLES]
    Wow.
    [SIGHS]
    Well,
    here's to overturning
    assumptions, huh?
    I'm really a man
    of discriminating taste
    and you're a foul-mouthed slut.
    Thank you.
    [MIKE]:
    So there you have it.
    Never assume a girl is easy
    or assume she's a prude.
    There are many layers
    in between.
    And it's your job, gentlemen,
    to peel back those layers
    and figure out exactly what type
    of woman you're dealing with.
    That sounded
    almost enlightened.
    Because once you do peel back
    those layers, my friends,
    her lady garden awaits.
    And he's back.
    And I'm pretty sure you're gonna
    wanna fertilize
    that patch of petunias.
    Well, thanks, Mike.
    Coming up after this message,
    Javier tells us if your petunias
    are gonna see any rainfall
    this weekend.
    I sure hope mine do.
    I wanna go home, but let's
    go over the script right now.
    Yeah, let's get it done
    really quickly.
    I'm turned on with the layers.
    Want to see these layers?
    - There he is.
    - [MIKE]: Hey, what's up?
    Good news.
    You're not gonna believe this.
    What?
    I got you on The Late Late Show
    with Craig Ferguson.
    They want you as his guest.
    Craig Ferguson wants me
    on his show?
    Yeah.
    You're shitting me.
    I am not shitting you.
    - Oh, yeah!
    - We made it.
    [BOTH LAUGHING]
    Yes!
    Hi. Who are you?
    Oh, this is Rick.
    - I'm his agent.
    - Yeah.
    Since when do you have an agent?
    And since when is it okay
    to book Late Night without
    the producer's approval?
    Actually, it's Late Late.
    It's two "lates".
    And since he became the hottest
    personality on morning TV.
    Have you seen this guy's
    ratings?
    Yes. Yes, I have.
    Yeah, okay.
    Anyways, you leave tonight.
    - Okay.
    - It's all set.
    - [MIKE]: How cool is this?
    - [RICK]: Come on, let's go.
    [BOTH LAUGHING]
    [GEORGIA]:
    Aah! Oh, my God!
    Joy said
    you wanted to see me?
    I just found out that
    Mike's being offered a job
    at a CBS affiliate in
    San Francisco at twice the pay.
    Craig Ferguson
    is his audition.
    - You can't be serious.
    - Oh, I'm serious.
    If Bob and Harold find out
    about this, we're dead.
    Now, I need you to fly out there
    and talk him out of it.
    I'm going to Lake Tahoe
    this weekend.
    Just don't let him know
    that you know beforehand.
    Go ahead and let him do the
    show, and get us our publicity,
    and then convince him
    that he needs to sign on with us
    for the next three years.
    That's all we can do.
    []
    [ABBY]:
    Stuart, I'm pulling up.
    I'm gonna try to catch him
    before he goes.
    Okay. I'll call you back.
    Thank you.
    Hello,
    little stupid penis face.
    You'd be on cable access
    if it weren't for me.
    Hear you wanna move to CBS.
    Is everything okay, miss?
    Yes, I'm just...
    I'm practicing my speech.
    Abby?
    What are you doing here?
    I thought you were
    going to Tahoe.
    Oh. You couldn't spend a day
    without me, could you?
    Oh, yes. I just can't get enough
    of your sparkling wit and charm.
    Stuart thought you needed
    a producer more
    than I needed to get laid.
    So come on, I gotta check in.
    We leave in five minutes.
    Wow.
    Five minutes.
    Ticktock, ticktock.
    [MIKE]:
    Yes, dear.
    [ABBY]: Okay, uh, so let's go over
    the pre-interview questions.
    I'm sorry you didn't get
    to spend time
    with little Colin
    this weekend.
    And by "little,"
    I don't mean undersized,
    although I highly suspect
    that's the case.
    Colin's penis. That's what
    you wanna talk about right now?
    Because I thought maybe
    we should talk about
    what you're gonna say
    on the show.
    Yeah. Okay.
    [IN IRISH ACCENT] So tell me, Mike,
    how did The Ugly Truth start?
    Uh, well,
    Mr. Irish Craig Ferguson,
    I had a sales job
    where I was driving around
    a lot, listening to talk radio.
    I started calling in,
    and then I realized
    I'm smarter than everybody else.
    Just ask my producer, Abby.
    She thinks
    I'm a genius on days
    when she's not
    sexually frustrated.
    [IN NORMAL VOICE]
    Yes, thousands of lives
    have been enriched
    by your wisdom.
    Excuse me, lady,
    but you have a boyfriend
    right now because of me.
    It may have started
    because of you,
    but it's lasted because of me.
    Great.
    So you're acting like
    your normal control-freak
    psycho self again.
    I am not a control freak.
    When you checked
    into the hotel,
    did you or did you not
    insist on getting
    an eastern-facing room
    on a floor not below 7?
    I like rising with the sun,
    and a view.
    [LAUGHS]
    My point is, that Colin likes
    the Mike version of Abby,
    not the Abby version
    of Abby.
    So don't go knocking
    my words of wisdom
    when you're living proof
    that they work.
    I could be
    having sex right now.
    Right this way, please.
    Dude, this is awesome.
    You are about to go on
    national television.
    Okay, this isn't helping,
    Rick.
    Just, you know,
    do what you always do.
    What do I always do?
    You, uh...
    I don't know, you...
    You entertain millions of people
    with your moronic ideas,
    and they love you for it.
    I think that may be the nicest
    thing you ever said to me.
    - You're welcome.
    - [FERGUSON]: Next up,
    here to tell us the ugly truth
    about men and women
    is Mike Chadway, everybody.
    Mike Chadway.
    [AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
    Mike, Mike, Mike.
    Come on up.
    [MIKE]:
    Hey, how are you, folks?
    FERGUSON:
    All right, Mike, welcome.
    Now, listen. Men, we men,
    I think I can say "we men".
    Not necessarily "wee" men,
    but men of all sizes...
    No, I get it. I get it.
    We're not known for
    our expertise
    in matters of the heart.
    But I hear you have some very
    interesting ideas and theories.
    What advice would you give
    to the good people out there
    that are
    looking for love?
    My advice would be, uh:
    Don't do it.
    [AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
    I mean,
    try to find lust instead.
    It's a lot easier
    and a lot less messy.
    Blue balls,
    they only last a few hours,
    but a broken heart,
    that can last years.
    [AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
    Goodness me. Tell me, then.
    What's her name?
    Who?
    [FERGUSON]: The woman that screwed
    you up. She must have been a doozy.
    Ah. Well, like I said,
    better a floozy than a doozy.
    [LOS PINGUOS' "SOLUNA"
    PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
    Hi. I was looking
    for an Abby Richter.
    [STUART OVER PHONE]:
    Did you get him? Is he ours?
    I'm working on it.
    I gotta go.
    - Where's Rick?
    - I sent him home.
    I thought maybe you and I
    could celebrate on our own.
    Here. Give me some of that.
    And, uh, what exactly
    are we celebrating?
    Hello? Craig Ferguson?
    I was just on it.
    I mean, maybe you saw it?
    I heard about
    the offer from CBS.
    Well, then maybe you heard
    I turned it down.
    You did?
    Why?
    Jonah.
    You know,
    he needs me around.
    I may not be the best
    father figure out there,
    but I'm the only one he's got.
    And I don't wanna half-ass it
    all the way from San Francisco.
    Well, I think that's
    a very good decision.
    Thank you.
    Now, can we stop
    talking about work
    and maybe relax
    and drink, enjoy?
    God.
    Tell me about the doozy.
    You know, the woman
    who broke your heart.
    You are just totally
    trying to kill my buzz.
    No, I'm not. I'm just interested
    in what makes you you.
    Well,
    for your information,
    it was, uh...
    It was more than just one.
    It was more like a parade.
    Co-dependent girls,
    unfaithful girls,
    depressed girls,
    narcissistic girls,
    phony girls.
    Girls who, it turned out,
    didn't actually like me.
    By the time I hit 30,
    I realized that, uh,
    you can only have
    so many lousy relationships
    before you figure out
    there's no such thing
    as a good one.
    Oh, come on. You can't really
    believe there's no such thing
    as a good relationship.
    Mm. To my very core.
    Hello. Can I
    get you something?
    I'll have one of those, please.
    A mojito. Sure.
    Would you like anything else?
    Yeah, some water.
    Okay, would you like
    still or sparkling?
    - Tap water's great. Thanks.
    - Tap. All right.
    What?
    What?
    It's the exact same thing,
    isn't it?
    So I've been told.
    [SIGHS]
    Come on, let's dance.
    No, I'm serious.
    I've seen your spazzy dance,
    now I wanna see the real thing.
    No, really.
    I can't dance like that.
    I can. Well, kind of.
    [CHUCKLES]
    [LATIN SOUL SYNDICATE'S
    "EL GITANO DEL AMOR" PLAYING]
    Ugh. Mike, no.
    No.
    The way you walk
    The way you talk
    The way you smile
    It turns me on
    The way you move
    The way you groove
    Makes me glad
    That I'm with you
    The way you walk
    The way you talk
    The way you smile

    What the hell was that?
    Why do I wanna do it again?
    [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
    - Miss me?
    - Colin.
    You were expecting
    someone else?
    No.
    - Mm.
    - Uh...
    Since you couldn't
    come to Lake Tahoe,
    I decided to come to you.
    Oh. How did you
    know I was here?
    Uh, Joy told me.
    I just started
    thinking about
    all the stuff we were
    going to do there, and I...
    - Come here.
    - decided I couldn't wait.
    - A little champagne?
    - Yeah.
    Great.
    - So happy to be here.
    - Oh, yes.
    What's wrong?
    Nothing.
    You just surprised me.
    You told me you were
    spontaneous.
    Yes, I did.
    Have a little something else
    on its way up for you.
    You are going to love it.
    [CHUCKLES]
    [CORK POPS]
    - Oh! Whoa! Ha-ha!
    - Whoa!
    Let me tell you,
    it comes out so fast, right?
    Oh, wow, I guess we'll have to
    get naked sooner than I thought.
    - I'll get you a towel.
    - Okay.
    []
    Abby, I...
    [SIGHS]
    Abby, I really,
    really wanna do that again,
    and not just tonight.
    Fuck!
    Fuck, fuck, fuck.
    Man up, Chadway.
    Come on, you can do this.
    Hey, hey.
    You're not room service.
    - How you doing, man?
    - Hey. Uh...
    Hey. Good to see you.
    I, uh...
    I just came by to tell
    Abby about the change
    in our flight time,
    but I can come by later.
    Hi.
    Hey.
    What are you doing here?
    Uh, flight's changed.
    Eight o'clock in the morning.
    I... I told you that already?
    Uh, I'm so...
    Long day, big day.
    Okay, I'll just leave now.
    Mike. Mike.
    Hey, wait.
    He came to surprise me. I...
    Hey, how convenient.
    No, I...
    I thought it was you
    at the door.
    Well, I guess we're all
    interchangeable.
    I taught you well.
    Hey, maybe you could
    even host the show.
    Tell me what happened
    in the elevator.
    Should I tell Colin to go?
    No.
    No, why pull up anchor now?
    I mean, you worked damn hard
    to get him here.
    And that's it?
    That's all you have to say?
    What do you want me to say?
    The truth is ugly, isn't it?
    [CHUCKLES]
    That's what I've been
    trying to tell you.
    Hm.
    I'll see you.
    []
    [DOOR OPENS]
    [DOOR CLOSES]
    Sorry about that.
    No. Honestly, no worries.
    Just come here.
    Listen, the rest
    of the night is ours. Hm?
    To the first of many
    romantic evenings to come.
    Whoa. Uh...
    Okay.
    Mm. Yeah.
    Colin, why do you like me?
    Oh, heh.
    Wow. Uh...
    You're beautiful.
    You're smart.
    You, uh...
    You never criticize.
    You know what? You never
    try to control the situation.
    And I've gotta say,
    it's a breath of fresh air
    because I know so many women
    who are total control freaks,
    and it's a nightmare.
    And I just love that
    you're not like that.
    But I am.
    I am just like that.
    Wait, what do you mean?
    Well, this should be chilled.
    And you know that.
    And, uh,
    as horrible as it sounds,
    I was editing that speech
    the entire time
    you were giving it.
    And the time you fed me caviar,
    I was in physical pain.
    I hate being fed
    like a toddler.
    That's how much
    of a control freak I am.
    But I couldn't show you
    any of that, because
    who would love
    someone like that?
    No one.
    []
    Um...
    [CHUCKLES]
    I'm so sorry.
    You are a great guy,
    you really are.
    Which is why I have to tell you
    that I have not been myself.
    Not for one second of the time
    that we've been dating.
    Then who have you been?
    The girl some idiot
    told me to be.
    [SIGHS]
    [ABBY]:
    Morning, Freddy.
    What did you do to him?
    I didn't do anything.
    He missed the flight
    all on his own.
    He quit this morning.
    I just got a smug call
    from the local CBS affiliate
    saying they'd closed
    a deal with him.
    Corporate's having a shit fit.
    What the hell happened?
    He quit to go to one
    of our local competitors?
    [SCOFFS]
    We don't need Mike Chadway.
    Halfwit troglodytes
    are a dime a dozen.
    You'd better be right.
    Because you gotta find me
    another one
    by the end of the week
    or else we're cancelled.
    [ABBY]: I'll find one
    by the end of the day.
    Not really. I'm just...
    That's just a joke, everybody.
    I can't believe I allowed myself
    to feel anything for him.
    Well, you felt enough something
    to break up with Colin.
    I'm sorry.
    Okay, here are the
    Mike Chadway replacements.
    Yes, no, yes, no, no,
    fuck no.
    "Fuck no". All right.
    So, what do you think
    of the new set?
    I love it.
    KSXP retained the copyright
    to your old segment title,
    so we retitled you:
    Morning Madness With Mike.
    [MIKE]:
    Love it.
    And this is Joe,
    your new producer.
    Hi.
    You know what I like
    best about you, Joe?
    Is I don't wanna
    have sex with you at all.
    I'm relieved
    to hear that.
    [DANIEL MERRIWEATHER'S
    "CHAINSAW" PLAYING]
    Givin' myself to you is like
    Givin' myself to chainsaw
    You keep cuttin' me open
    Why?
    Is that the only thing
    That you're good for?
    Givin' myself to you is like
    Givin' myself to a chainsaw
    You keep cuttin' me open
    Why?
    Is that the only thing
    That you're good for?
    [ALL CHATTERING]
    How's my face?
    Is it too shiny?
    Which side is better?
    Right, left, full frontal?
    They're all great.
    Can we go over your intro
    one more time?
    "I'm Jack Magnum,
    and this is.. ".
    The Ugly Truth.
    [PUFFS]
    Okay. Let's, uh,
    maybe lose the gun thing.
    What? Gun's my signature move.
    Unless the NRA is paying
    your mortgage this month,
    I say lose
    the effing gun.
    All right, we're live
    in five, four, three...
    [MOUTHS]
    Two, one.
    Think this guy's any good?
    He better be.
    I'm Jack Magnum,
    and this is The Ugly Truth.
    Peace.
    Oh, Jesus.
    He's going political.
    Okay, so we'll do a couple
    questions with the balloon pilot
    about how often
    couples get it on
    in-flight,
    and then we're out.
    Got it.
    Check it out.
    Your replacement's on.
    GEORGIA:... Jack Magnum.
    My what?
    How's it going out there?
    Your replacement?
    [JACK]: Most of you
    are watching this show
    so you can learn how
    to get chicks.
    Well, let me assure you,
    you're in good hands.
    You're looking at a guy
    who personally has had sex
    with over 137 women.
    Most of them conscious.
    [CHUCKLES]
    This is beautiful.
    Now, we're here
    at the balloon festival
    and I'm supposed
    to be telling you about
    how men are full of hot air.
    But I think we all know,
    it's the ladies
    that are full of crap.
    Just because she says no,
    doesn't mean she means no.
    [GROANS]
    If that were the case,
    I'd have only 90 women...
    [GRUNTS]
    Okay. All right.
    What the hell?
    Did she...? Oh.
    - Uh...
    - Welcome back.
    It looks like we're experiencing
    some technical difficulty.
    Yeah, when you have
    a wine festival...
    Okay, I got it.
    Unh. Hi.
    - Uh...
    - We're back.
    I'm sorry,
    but Jack Magnum will no longer
    be able to do The Ugly Truth.
    Which should really
    come as no surprise
    because men
    are completely unreliable.
    - What is she doing?
    - [CELL PHONE RINGING]
    Yes? Yes, Harold? Yes. Yes,
    I know. We're fixing it.
    Take Mike Chadway,
    for instance.
    He up and quit the show
    without so much as a word.
    You think you know what men
    are gonna do,
    you think you know
    what men want to do.
    But when it comes right down
    to that moment
    where they actually need
    to step up
    and, I don't know,
    make a move,
    they chicken out.
    Oh. I am all over this.
    [JOE]: Where're you going?
    We're live in two!
    It's going great, isn't it?
    The big, strong, brave men
    that we've all been
    reading about
    in novels and watching in movies
    since we were 9 years old,
    that's a fallacy.
    They don't exist.
    Men are not strong.
    Men are not brave.
    Men are afraid.
    It's all part of the show.
    Sort of an Andy Kaufman
    thing we're doing.
    Even if they have a moment
    in a hotel elevator, and...
    []
    and it's totally romantic
    and full of potential,
    men are incapable
    of copping to it.
    Because why?
    Men are weak.
    Let me tell you something
    about women.
    Oh. Hey.
    Woman would have us believe
    that they are the victims.
    That we break
    their hearts for sport.
    [CLIFF]: I thought he quit.
    That's crap.
    See, Bob?
    I told you we'd get him back.
    They say they want true love,
    but all they want
    is a checklist.
    Is he perfect? Is he handsome?
    Is he a doctor?
    For you men who fit
    the criteria,
    don't kid yourselves,
    they're not sleeping with you.
    They're sleeping with
    a carefully calculated
    set of venal choices.
    Money over substance,
    looks over soul.
    Polish over principles.
    No gesture,
    no matter how real or romantic,
    will ever compensate
    for a really impressive list
    of credentials.
    This coming from a man
    who's never made a gesture
    other than this one.
    Oh, so the elevator
    wasn't a gesture?
    The elevator
    was a moment of passion,
    followed by a moment of panic
    on your part, apparently.
    - Panic? I came by your room.
    - Yes...
    and then you ran away.
    That wasn't panic,
    sweetheart.
    That was
    an unwillingness to compete
    with the walking checklist
    that was in your bed.
    You should be thanking me.
    Uh, we got 10 seconds.
    Are we ready to soar
    up, up and away?
    Well, there you have it, folks.
    That's the ugly truth.
    A girl in heat for two guys
    will always choose the one
    with the better rsum.
    That is bullsh...
    - And we're out.
    - [SIGHS]
    God. I hate you so much,
    I just swore on live television.
    No, you hate yourself
    for being so shallow.
    - Off we go.
    - Where're we going?
    I'm not going anywhere
    with you.
    Whoa.
    [ABBY]: Oh. Well, that's a shocker,
    you're bailing.
    [MAN]:
    I wouldn't recommend that.
    Keep rolling
    on the onboard camera.
    What're you doing?
    God, what is wrong with you?
    [SIGHS]
    They don't even know
    they're on the air, do they?
    [CLIFF]:
    Uh-uh.
    Is there any way to tell them
    they're on the air?
    Nope.
    Oh, they're gonna curse.
    I know it.
    []
    So who
    wants champagne?
    Oh, I know.
    I got a great idea.
    Why don't we pass the time
    with you telling me
    how much fun you and Colin had
    having sex in Los Angeles?
    I broke up with Colin
    in Los Angeles, you jackass.
    On our left, you'll see
    the High Sierras...
    What?
    Oh, yeah.
    That's got your interest.
    Well, if you think we're gonna
    finish what we started in LA,
    you're out of your mind.
    You lost your chance.
    Oh, come on.
    I never had a chance with you.
    And to our right here, you'll
    see the lovely Sacramento River
    winding its way through
    the dichromatic landscape.
    Could you please stop talking?
    Thank you.
    You're right. I had a momentary
    lapse in judgment
    when I thought you were more
    than you are, but you aren't.
    Clearly.
    Oh, yeah?
    Well, what does that mean?
    "I'm Mike Chadway.
    I like girls in Jell-O.
    I like to fuck like a monkey.
    Don't fall in love, it's scary".
    Oh, for God's sakes,
    there's the first one.
    Yeah, it is scary.
    It's terrifying.
    Especially when I'm in love
    with a psycho like you.
    I am not a psycho.
    Love?
    Oh!
    I just told you
    that I loved you,
    and all you heard was "psycho".
    You're the definition
    of neurotic.
    No.
    The definition of neurotic
    is a person who suffers from
    anxiety, obsessive thoughts,
    compulsive acts
    and physical ailments
    without any objective
    evidence of...
    Shut up.
    Yet again, I just told
    you I'm in love with you,
    and you're standing here
    giving me a vocabulary lesson.
    []
    You're in love with me.
    Why?
    [SIGHS]
    Beats the shit outta me,
    but I am.
    []
    [ABBY]:
    Oh! Oh, Mike.
    [BED SQUEAKING]
    - You're amazing.
    - [MIKE]: Ah, I am?
    [ABBY]:
    Oh, you're a god. Oh!
    - [MIKE]: Really?
    - [ABBY]: Oh, God!
    [BOTH PANTING AND LAUGHING]
    [PANTING]
    Am I really that good?
    Or are you...?
    Are you just faking it?
    [LAUGHS]
    You'll never know.
    [CHUCKLES]
    [FLO RIDA'S "RIGHT ROUND"
