本片段劇情：重新孤身一人的莎拉開始在網上瘋狂地發廣告，但是約會的男人總有這樣或那樣的問題。于是她想到了鮑勃，便主動給他打了電話。在一夜春宵后，莎拉還沉醉在甜蜜的余溫中，鮑勃就拍拍屁股準備走人了……

本片段對白：

Salesman: I'll be right there. Hi, can I...? Look who's here. It's you.

Sarah: Yes, your worst nightmare. The single-chicken-breast lady.

Salesman: Hey, you wanna at least hear the specials?

Sarah: Ahh!

Salesman: Look, I'm supposed to tell them to you, that's all.

Sarah: Just the chicken breast.

Salesman: It's rough out there, huh? You wanna talk about it?

Sarah: You know, you're not a bartender.

Salesman: Have you tried the Internet? I mean, it really works. You know, I met my wife online, and she...

Sarah: Chicken. Now.

************************************

Sarah: Why not?

Bragging date guy: And I've been to Italy a lot too. I just got back from Rome...where I took this fabulous in-depth tour called "As the Romans Do." The guide was incredible.

Sarah: I took that tour. Big fat guy, right?

Bragging date guy: Before that, Switzerland. Well, I got caught in a snow storm.

Sarah: I almost died in a blizzard once.

Bragging date guy: I lived up in the Alps for a year.

Sarah: They had to cut me out of the snow with scissors.

Bragging date guy: My aunt had a farm. In the morning, we'd warm ourselves with the coals of the fire. I learned to make goat cheese.It was very Heidi.

******************************

Sarah: Well, I just think it's wonderful how much you care about your children, Peter. Really. It's not always the case. I'm a teacher, I know.

Peter: Well, it's just my daughter. She's 14. But she's everything to me.

*******************************

Sarah: Were you surprised that I called?

Bob: Little bit. But happy.

Sarah: Well, I figured what the hell. It's time to take control of my life. New Sarah.

Bob: I liked the old Sarah, you know.

Sarah: New and improved. Good morning.

Bob: Hi.

Sarah: Hi.

Bob: What time is it?

Sarah: It's a little after 9.

Bob: Damn. Do you mind if we take that and go? I don't wannarun into traffic.

Sarah: Oh, it's Sunday.

Bob: Yeah, I got a game today. You gonna eat that?

Sarah: No. Here.

Bob: Thank you.

Sarah: You did sleep with June, didn't you?

Bob: Does it matter? Really?

Sarah: It's just that you told me nothing happened.

Bob: Well, I knew we'd be great together, I didn't want anything to get in the way of that. And we were.

Sarah: Yeah.

Bob: That was fun. Thanks a lot. I'll call you. You mad at me?

Sarah: No, I'm not mad at you.

Bob: Good, I was afraid something had changed...

Sarah: I'm mad at myself for ever having trusted you. For not listening to that voice in my head that said: "He is a shallow, self-centered bastard." Which is what you are, you stupidhead! OK. Maybe I have been teaching preschool too long, but you took advantage of me. You knew how vulnerable I was. You knew I was the weak impala of the herd. And you pounced on that with that whole sensitive dad-of-the-year act. And, "we're adopting a puppy." And the fake professor thing with these fake glasses. These aren't even real, are they? Oh, sorry. I just hate guys like you. I hate guys like you!
