TEXT: [Scene: A toy store window. The camera is panning across a miniature city they have set up in the window. The camera goes from building to building and finally pans out to see Joey looking in the widow at the display with Eddie.] Joey: [Voice Over] Once upon a time in a galaxy not entirely unlike our own, there was a girl. There was nothing extraordinary about this girl. She was by her own estimation a relatively simple sort, yet she was cursed. For as long as she could remember, her romantic life had been something of a disaster. Boys either fell too hard, too fast, or not at all. She had long since given up on the notion of a functional relationship, which is why, in the winter of her 19th year, she was surprised to find herself in the company of a boy who made her feel as if the curse had been lifted... if only temporarily. Joey: [Joey humming] Heh heh he so...chocolate or vanilla? Eddie: Chocolate. Joey: Cake or pie? Eddie: Pie. Joey: Coke or Pepsi? Eddie: Coke. Joey: Christmas or Halloween? Eddie: Halloween. Joey: That settles it. We have nothing in common. Eddie: Well, the s*x is good. Joey: Please, I had better s*x in elementary school. Eddie: Ok. Are we done with this month's Cosmo compatibility test? Can we just get on with our lives? Joey: M! Not so fast. I have one more question. Eddie: Ok, shoot. Joey: Christmas in Boston in your squalid little apartment or Christmas in Capeside with yours truly? Eddie: Heh heh. Joey: I just said that out loud, didn't I? Eddie: Yeah, pretty much. Joey: Wow. I just crossed a line into that world where girls pressure their boyfriends into doing stuff with them, and then-- I just referred to you as my boyfriend. I'm a mess. I apologize. Eddie: Apology accepted. Joey: You know... actually... Eddie, I take that back. I want you to meet my dysfunctional family. I want you
