My Date with Drew (2004) - full transcript

"If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul." - Drew Barrymore. Ever since the second grade when he first saw her in E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Brian Herzlinger has had a crush on Drew Barrymore. Now, 20 years later he's decided to try to fulfill his lifelong dream by asking her for a date. There's one small problem: She's Drew Barrymore and he's, well, Brian Herzlinger, a broke 27-year-old aspiring filmmaker from New Jersey. But that doesn't stop Brian and his film school pals from doing everything they can think of to convince Barrymore to go out with him - and documenting their quest along the way. Equipped with a video camera they have to return to Circuit City in 30 days and the $1,100 Brian won on a game show (where the winning answer was, prophetically, "Drew Barrymore"), they've got one month to accomplish their mission. To succeed, they'll need to negotiate an army of publicists, agents, producers and assistants who surround the star so Brian can pop the question. My Date with Drew is the award-winning, inspirational story of an ordinary guy who, despite incredibly long odds, puts everything on the line to pursue his lifelong dream. It's also an astute and often hilarious look at contemporary dating rituals, the culture of celebrity and the power of passion.

BRETT WINN: Why don't you
tell us who you are and,

and why you're here on camera

OK.

JON GUNN: Why are we here?

Why are you guys
sitting here with me?

All right, uh, hi,
I'm Brian Herzlinger.

And we're here
[laughs] to help me

get a date with Drew Barrymore.

JON GUNN: Why Drew Barrymore?



Because it's Drew Barrymore.

I mean this is, uh--

because I've had a crush on
Drew since I was six years old.

And I was always hoping
that I'd be able to like

get one chance to meet her.

You know, maybe,
one day, I would

get to meet Drew Barrymore.

BRETT WINN: Why now?

At this point in my life,
right now, not too much

is happening.

I've been looking for
jobs and, and taking

these, these entry-level
jobs to make ends meet.

And, um-- but it's
not furthering me.

And I just--



I'm coming off of a
huge win at a game show,

where I won the amount
totaling $1,100.

But the reason why I think
it's appropriate to begin

this journey now is that the
winning answer, in this game

show that allowed me to
walk away with that money,

was the name "Drew Barrymore."
- Go

OK, this is
America's sweetheart.

She's amazing.
- Katy Perry

Blonde hair.
Um, no.

She had a huge hit.

She went into drugs for a
while, but then she got back.

- Ahh, Betty Ford.
- Drew Barrymore.

Yes, you did it!
[cheering, applause, bells]

You got it.
You got it!

All right.

The money I won
on that game show

could get me through
another month, right?

But when it's said and
done, 30 days from now,

I could be wondering
what I'm going to do next

and still feeling in the dumps.

Or 30 days from
now, I could have

a date with Drew Barrymore.

That would be cool.

[polaroid camera sounds]

[upbeat music playing]

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
Drew was born into a Hollywood

dynasty on February 22, 1975.

A year later, I was born
into a middle-class family,

who watched "Dynasty"
on television.

That's me at one.

Those were my reading glasses.

The first time I ever
saw Drew was in "ET."

I was 6 years old, and I
fell for her, immediately.

But what were the chances
I would ever meet her?

I mean, this is me in 10th
grade, and this is her.

Years later, I
finally moved to LA.

And when I was 24, a friend
invited me to the "Charlie's

Angels" premiere.

This was my big break.

I was in the same room as
Drew, not two feet away.

[film ratcheting effect]

And I froze.

So now I'm 27 years old.

And I finally realized it's
time for me to face my fears

and try to get a date with Drew.

Now I'll admit,
this is a huge risk.

But I quote Drew Barrymore,
"If you don't take risks,

you'll have a wasted soul."

Luckily, my two buddies,
Brett and Jon agreed

to help me document my quest.

The only problem is I
don't own a video camera.

And to buy one would use
up all my prize money.

But as it turns out, you
don't even need any money

to buy a camera these
days thanks to Circuit

City's 30-day return policy.

So I picked out the most
expensive camera in the store.

And my credit card was rejected.

So I applied for
Circuit City card.

And I was rejected again.

Finally, I tried Brett's
credit card, and it worked.

So now, I have 30
days and $1,100

to get one date
with Drew Barrymore.

[upbeat music playing]

OK, so I was ready
to get started.

I got together
with Jon and Brett.

And we ran out to buy a
bunch of blank videotapes,

bringing my total down to $881.

Then we grabbed my new video
camera and hit the streets.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: You guys
know who Drew Barrymore is?

WOMAN: Yeah.

I have 30 days to get a
date with Drew Barrymore.

That's what I got to--
- That's so cool.

That is so cool.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Do
you think she'd go out

with a nice Jewish boy like me?

Quick question for you.

Um, I'm shooting a little
movie, a fun movie about me.

You don't want to do it?

Even if I just asked
you a few questions?

BRETT WINN: Just don't
run up and accost them

and say, we're doing
a movie, be in it.

I think you should say--

Tell me what to say.

BRETT WINN: I think
you should say,

would you mind answering
a few questions for me

about Drew Barrymore?
- Excuse me.

BRETT WINN: I'm
making a documentary.

Guys would you mind
answering a few questions

about Drew Barrymore?
We're doing a documentary.

WOMAN: About who?

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
Drew Barrymore.

All right, so what do you think?

Do you think I got a
shot at this or what?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Yeah?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I am?

BRETT WINN: Does
his hair bother you,

I mean the fact that
he's a little hairy.

No, no.
It's, it's--

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- No, I think it's very sexy.

- All right, seriously.
- Nah.

BRETT WINN: That's sexy?
- I think it's sexy, yeah.

This is good.

I tell you, if I get the date
with her, this gets waxed.

- Yes, yes.
- Waxed.

Serenaded me.

- They serenaded you?
- Yeah.

Wow.

[guitar music playing]

(SINGING) When I
was a young lad,

I wanted this girl
really, really bad.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Seriously?

Seriously, I think
you have a shot.

Here's why.

You're in Hollywood.

It's the land where dreams
come true and not just on film.

I've had a thing for
her since I was 10.

JOHN MANN: Ahh.
- I mean, I was in her fan club.

[snorting laugh]
[cackling laugh] Oh, my god.

All right, well, I was in
the "Star Wars" fan club,

so I can't, uh--
- Yeah.

Oh, we got to get a shot
of his "Star Wars" room.

[making lightsaber sounds]
[patoo]

[laughter]

(DEEP VOICE) Search
your feelings, Luke.

You know it to be--

No!

[guitar playing]

(SINGING) I look at
her, and I feel woozy.

And that would not happen
with just any floozy.

It's Drew, true blue, and me.

Anything?

OK, thank you very much.

You're welcome.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I
really appreciate it.

BRETT WINN: Thank
you for your help.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Thank
you very much, Nadine.

BRETT WINN: Have a great day.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
First thing the next day,

I called Brett and Jon and
set up a brainstorming session

to create a plan of attack.

[ding]

Wait, hang on a sec, OK?

Hello?

Hello?

Uh, who's calling?

Uh, he's not, actually,
so can I take a message?

Thanks.

Bye.

It was Wells Fargo calling me.

They want my money.

Hello?
Hello?

BRETT WINN: First of all,
let's figure out what

your first step needs to be.

JON GUNN: What we
need to do right

now is figure out every
possible way and hit all of them

at once.
So, you know--

Well, I'd rather do the--

JON GUNN: --leaving a
package on her doorstep.

Oh, no, that's not good.

BRETT WINN: Why not?
That's a great idea.

JON GUNN: You know, mail
something to her at home.

WOMAN: A lot of attacks.
- I just don't--

I don't want this--
I want to be a stalker.

If I come off as
a stalker at all--

BRETT WINN: No, no, no, you're
not going to be a stalker

--they're not going
to even take the call.

JON GUNN: It's worth a try
calling her agent and saying,

I'm making a documentary film.

I think we should
definitely do that.

JON GUNN: I'm, I'm,
I'm just a guy--

We're making a documentary.

JON GUNN: --who
has, has had a crush

on her since the fourth grade.

Stalker, that's
what I'm saying.

JON GUNN: Yeah.

BRETT WINN: Shouldn't
you call the production

company before the publicist?
JON GUNN: Yes.

I think-- I think trying--

BRETT WINN: Yeah, I think trying
to get right to her first--

I know Nancy Juvenan--

Ju-Juvonen is over
there with her.

BRETT WINN: There you go.

She's, she's her
producing partner.

Who?

June 27 is when
"Charlie's Angels" opens.

However, the premiere premiere--

Before.

--is going to be at
least a week before.

You have got to get
to that premiere

by any means necessary.

That may be your chance.

You might be face to face
with her at that point.

Sweetie.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): Great.

Face to face with Drew at the
"Charlie's Angels 2" premiere.

This was my worst nightmare.

I had humiliated myself at
the first "Charlie's Angels"

premiere.

And I sure wasn't looking
for a sequel to that.

Now, fortunately, I
have more than three

weeks to think of another way.

(SINGING) She comes to
me when I'm feeling down,

inspires me, without a sound.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
It was clear I needed help.

So I went to my friend
and mentor, Bill D'Elia.

I figured if anybody could give
me guidance, it would be him.

See, Bill has been a successful
director for many years.

And I respect the guy a lot.

So it really mattered to me
what he thought of my quest.

I'll just tell
you what I think.

Tell me what you think.

First of all, I
think it's a bad idea.

Second of all, when I was
27, I dreamed-- my dream?

World peace not Drew Barrymore.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: [laughs]

You're embarrassing yourself.

Ahh.

Do you think I'm going
to be able to do it?

Do you think I'm going to be
able to get the date with her?

- No.
- Why?

[laughs]
- I don't know why.

It's just what I think.

Give me one-- give
me one reason why?

Well, why should she?

Why shouldn't she?

What does she have to lose?

What does she have to gain?

I'm not one of those people
that you just met on the street.

I'm a guy that knows
you and cares about you.

And I'm telling you
this is a big mistake.

This-- oh, [laughs].

It's now a mistake?

That's what the project--

That's the second time I
heard this thing was a mistake.

When was the first
time you heard it?

I said it, then you did.

[laughs]

Could I be wrong?

Yes.
- OK.

Because it take a-- it
takes a big, big man

to admit if he could be wrong.

I could be wrong.

You're not even admitting
that you could be wrong.

You think this is a great idea.

You think this is "Gone
with the Wind" for 2003.

[laughs]

A date with Drew Barrymore?

You know this is?

The dumbing of
America is complete.

No.

No.

I hope, for your
sake, it's successful.

Thank you.

I hope for America's
sake, it's a failure.

Oh, ho ho.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER): I
had hoped that Bill would make

some calls for me,
hook me up with someone

in the industry who knows Drew.

But that obviously
wasn't happening.

And meanwhile, I had
to head back to Jersey

for my annual family
reunion, courtesy of mom

and dad's MasterCard.

But at least I knew I could
count on my family for support.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
Why you laughing?

What do you think?
Do you think it's stupid?

No, not at all.
Go for it.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: No.

If he's not successful,
I want to give it a shot.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: [laughs]

Can I say what I
think about that?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I want you
to say whatever you want.

You know what I
think about her.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: What?
What-- how--

She's a slut.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Who have
I had a crush on since I

was like in fourth grade?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I've got 30
days to get a date with Drew.

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER: What?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: You
can't believe everything

you read in that thing.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Like who?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Oh, yeah.

You're not
accepting substitutes?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: No.
Why?

Who do you want me to get?

Who's the other
Angel, besides Lucy Liu?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Cameron Diaz.

Cameron Diaz.

What about Gwyneth Paltrow?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Why
can't I just go for Drew?

Do you, do you think I'm going
to come off as a stalker?

Yes.

As a second
runner-up, Jennifer.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
Jennifer Love Hewitt?

Feed her a taco.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I
met her at Taco Bell.

It was a great thing.

If you could get to her,
then you have a chance.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: OK.

Because when she sees
this dynamic personality,

how could she resist?

However, you know my
feelings about her,

so don't make it long term.

Well, why don't you not
judge her till you meet her?

And then after that,
you find a real person?

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
She is a real person.

Mm-hmm.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): Since I was home

in search of
inspiration, I decided

to go back through the most
precious artifacts of my youth.

And I knew just where to start.

This is what I called the
"secret drawer," right here.

Notice, there are no handles.

And I have it hidden behind
my "Superman" standee.

The secret to getting in
here is doing this and this.

Spielberg doesn't have
a director's Oscar yet.

[ratcheting]

"Rambo."

[plastic cocking] [pop-eee]

All right, fourth grade,
I joined the fan club

for Drew Barrymore.

These are the letters.

I have not looked at
these in like 10 years.

Oh, my god.

All right, now to
everybody at home,

I was her age when
I got this picture.

I had a crush on her back then.

This is such a bad idea.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
As soon as I got back to LA,

I went to visit a friend
of Jon's named Kerry David.

Kerry used to work
for Nicole Kidman,

so I figured she
might know someone

who could lead me to Drew.

Before I worked for Tom
Cruise and Nicole Kidman,

I had the biggest
crush on Tom Cruise.

It turns out, actually, I
had a crush on Maverick.

I had seen "Top Gun" in every
single state in Australia.

[laughter]

And then I'd want
to cry, because I

knew I'd never have him.

And I was just like,
he's so beautiful.

So then, when I got the job with
him, I was just beside myself.

I know the excitement that
I felt and just thinking,

this is my dream.

How could it be happening
to me, you know?

And that's what
you're going through.

And so I definitely
responded to that.

And I also know that everyone
else who ever had a crush

is going to respond
in the same way.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
Because she could relate

to my quest, so well, Kerry
said she wanted to join our team

and do anything she
could to help me out.

So she sent me to
her friend, Allison

Burnett, who makes a good living
writing big studio movies.

[laughs]

Oh, actually, I have
met Drew Barrymore.

Have you?

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
You can imagine my excitement.

It was only day five and here
I was sitting next to someone

who has actually met Drew.

Now let's figure this out using
the six degrees of separation.

I know Jon.

Jon knows Kerry.

Kerry knows Allison.

Allison has met Drew.

Four degrees-- not bad.

I'm at a party, and
Drew Barrymore is there.

And let me just tell you,
you know, as you may know,

she's beautiful.

And she has gorgeous skin
and very friendly and very

unpretentious.

And she's sitting
in the backyard.

And somebody shook her hand
and said, wow, cold hands.

And I, because I'm
very, very clever

and really good with language,
I said, cold hands, warm heart.

- Ahh.
- And she said, yeah.

[laughs]

Yeah.

And having met you now,
for a full four minutes--

Yeah.
[laughs]

--and met her, I can
say that it, it's-- that

she's really going like you.

You guys are going
to get along great.

I know you're going
to get the date.

Now listen, I have
something that can help you.

Yes.

A friend of mine
knows a limo driver.

And this limo driver claims
that he knows lots of secrets

about Drew Barrymore.

And that could give you insight
into who she is, for you,

when you finally meet her.

And, um, I'm trying
to get you the phone

number for John August, who
wrote "Charlie's Angels."

Yeah.

And he knows her really well.

And I'm trying-- I'm going
to work on that for you.

Oh.

And see if I can
get it for you.

Thank you very much.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
See how casually I

thanked him for that?

This is me playing
it really cool.

Because, inside,
I'm freaking out.

John August?

He wrote "Charlie's Angels."

Of course I know who he is.

So if I can work that
out for you, I will.

Thank you.

[tones]

[ringing]

WOMAN (ON PHONE): Please hold,
and your call will be answered

by the next available agent.

[MUSIC - ROBERT KNIGHT,
"EVERLASTING LOVE"]

(SINGING) Where
life's river flows,

no one really knows
'til someone's

there to show the
way to lasting love.

Real love will last forever.

Real love will last--

[ringing]

MAN (ON PHONE): Dispatch?
- Hi.

My name is Brian.

And I'm trying to
get in touch with one

of your drivers named Dylan.
MAN (ON PHONE): OK.

If I can get a message to
him, what's your number?

JON GUNN: According to
Allison, Dylan the limo driver

is our best shot to get into the
premier, the "Charlie's Angels"

premiere.
- How?

JON GUNN: Because he
drives all the celebrities.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: He
drives any celebrities.

JON GUNN: And he could--
he could get Brian in.

I guess he can get
tickets to these events.

Or maybe Brian could
just go with him.

All right, look, as
a last resort, I, um--

fine.

The premier-- great, I'm
ecstatic about it, OK?

But I-- I'd rather-- there's
got to be other options for me

before we have to get
to that, you know?

BRETT WINN: All right,
but if he calls back--

I know.

BRETT WINN: --and says,
yes, you're going.

But check this out.
Listen to this.

BRETT WINN: OK.

So, I was thinking
about today.

I don't know if I told you this.

I was thinking about,
um, why don't I

just write a letter to her?

Do you know what I mean?

Like just a letter introducing
myself, personally, to Drew

and send it off to Flower Films.

BRETT WINN: What's going
to separate your letter

from everyone else's letter?

JON GUNN: What you
should do is, like,

you know you should shoot like
a video, where you're saying,

hi, my name's Brian.

Because I think the thing is--
- That's a good idea.

JON GUNN: --once she
sees your personality,

it wouldn't be threatening.

Or, you know, we take
it another step further,

and we'll cut it
like a movie trailer.

So we'll have Brian--

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
That's awesome.

--on camera.

He'll be introducing
himself, be saying

everything that's going on.

But we'll also show
stuff we shot already.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
That is a great idea.

You on the game show.
JON GUNN: Circuit City.

Circuit City.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
The next morning,

I headed over to
Brett's editing suite

to make a movie
trailer for Drew.

And when I say, editing
suite, what I mean

is an empty guest bedroom
with a Mac laptop.

JON GUNN: Maybe we play with
the idea of the 30 days thing.

You know, you set it up as
a false open about 30 days.

30 days, hours--
days, hours, minutes.

BRETT WINN: Right.
- You know what I mean?

It has to be 30.

And it starts clicking down.

And then we could do
more-- something like that.

Maybe it doesn't
need to click down.

I think-- I like
the idea of summing

up what 30 days is, you know?

30 days, so-and-so hours,
so-and-so minutes--

Yeah

--so-and-so seconds.

Yes.

GEORGE DELHOYO
(VOICEOVER): 30 days,

720 hours, 43,200 minutes,
2,592,000 seconds for one

man's dream to come true.

Hi, my name is Brian,
and this is my quest.

I have 30 days and $1,100 to get
one date with Drew Barrymore.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
Since Brett's day job is

editing movie trailers,
we were able to get

a professional voiceover talent
or, as I like to call him,

the "Movie Trailer Guy."

30 days, 720 hours for one
man's dream to come true.

All right, so OK, so this is
what I was going to ask you,

the big favor.
- Yeah.

Uh, to prevent the
possibility of me freezing,

I may need you to speak
for me on the date, OK?

Right, right, sure.

And, and the
first line that I--

I've been practicing
what I'm going to say--

Right.

--just in the hopes
that she says yes.

And the first-- first
thing I want to say

is, uh, Drew, I've liked you
since I was 10 years old when I

was a member of your fan club.

Can we do that again?
I'll mouth it.

Sure.
Sure.

So, so, so I'll
just get behind--

Oh, are you?

[laughs] Wait, wait, wait.

(AS BRIAN) Drew,
I've liked you

since I was 10 years old when I
was a member of your fan club.

[laughs]

Was that right?

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
George had so much fun with me,

that he didn't even charge
us to use his voice, which

is a good thing,
because that voice cost

more than my entire budget.

(AS BRIAN) Drew, give
me a shot, just one shot.

All right, this
is the trailer.

This could be it.

We're waiting for a yes
because of this envelope.

I'm giving it to
our man, Victor.

Uh.
JON GUNN: Thank you.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
Thank you, Victor.

OK, thank you.

All right, he says he's
going to be able to get

to Flower Films in 20 minutes,
provided that, you know,

traffic's OK.

Uh, he was from that
messenger company, right?

OK.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
We spent the rest of the day

on the phone calling everyone
we could think of who

could possibly lead us to Drew.

Jon had worked with Eric
Roberts in the past.

And Eric is currently on
a TV show with Andy Dick.

Well, Andy was in a
movie with Drew in 1997.

And I heard they are
still good friends.

I was thinking,
of course, of Eric.

And I know that
Eric is on the show.

Yeah.

Is Eric-- with Andy,
and Andy knows Drew.

And so I thought it'd be cool to
talk to both Andy and to Eric.

Do you want Corey Feldman?

He's like, yeah, totally,
Eric would be up for it.

Do you want Corey Feldman?

And I was like--

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
But does he want to--

--yeah, of course
I want Corey Feldman.

[laughter]

Who doesn't?

There's no cuff involved in
this, it's so off-the-cuff.

It's nuts.
- Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

JON GUNN:
[glass cleaning squeaks]

I got it.
[laughter]

I'm sitting on a
bench with Eric Roberts.

It's cool.

Now, I've had a crush on Drew
Barrymore since I was 10--

like a harmless crush, not
stalker crush, harmless crush.

And, uh--

All the stalkers say that.
BRIAN HERZLINGER: Yeah, right.

Exactly.

Well, well, first
of all, Drew's

in really good shape
now, because she's

in "Charlie's Angels."

She's all hip and
cool and cut up.

And, uh--

BRIAN HERZLINGER: [laughs]

--I think, I think
the first thing is you

have to get a body to die for.

Well, you know, the
thing that everybody

always thinks you're in shape
if you have is a stomach.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Abs.

Abs.

And that has come first and
foremost, every workout.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: OK.

And, uh-- and it's
all about diet, too.

You have to eat high
protein, low carb.

And if you eat right,
that can happen for.

Wow.

Anybody-- wait,
get a shot of that.

JON GUNN: I got it.

Wait, you want
his next to mine?

JON GUNN: Yeah,
let's take a look.

- All right.
- Here we go.

All right, go low.
Look at this.

This is just not good.

I'm hurting myself here.

It's hurting my neck.

Drew, do yourself a favor.

Give the guy a break.

And if it doesn't
work, don't blame me.

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): Later that day,

Eric called to say he
had talked to Andy Dick.

And Andy had agreed
to meet with me.

He gave us Andy's number and
told us to call right away.

-

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
Hey, Andy Dick, this

is John Gunn calling.

I'm a friend of Eric Roberts.

And, uh, I was so
excited to hear

that you'd be willing to
do an interview with us.

Or, at least, I'm
hoping you will.

I wanted to just get
in touch with you

to see if you're available
in the next couple of days.

Give me a call whenever it's
convenient for you, 818--

And from the footage I've
seen on that, I, I look fat.

I feel fat.

So, all right,
there you have it.

[sigh]

[panting]

[grunt]

(BREATHLESSLY) 20.

[panting] I got to do 30.

[panting] 30.

[gasping] [thud] Jesus
Christ. (LAUGHING)

I can't do 31 push-ups.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): It was clear

that I needed help
if I was going to get

a body to die for in 30 days.

So I called my friend, Andrea,
who is a personal trainer.

She took pity on me and agreed
to whip me into shape for free.

This is Andrea, my
new personal trainer,

my very first personal trainer.

So what-- what are
you thinking for me?

What are you thinking
for a beginner?

I don't want to break anything
especially in my body.

So--
- [laughs]

--what's the way to
start off with this?

- Um.
- What do you think?

Well, we'll start
off with, with abs.

I feel pretty good.

This is cool.

Should I take my watch off?

[upbeat music playing]

[thwap]

Good

[thwap]

[thud]
- Ooh!

Ooh.

See what I've done?

[upbeat music playing]

You want to
stretch for a second?

Go ahead.

Yeah, aren't you
supposed to stretch

before you start working out?

You didn't stretch?

[upbeat music playing]

Am I the most pathetic
person you've ever trained?

Not at all.

Can you think of somebody
who's more pathetic right now?

Just give me a first name, so
I know you're not lying to me.

Because I'm feeling pretty
self-conscious right now.

- Uhh.
- Taking too long.

It's me.
I'm the worst.

[upbeat music playing]

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): The next day,

Brett called, because
his friend Shawn

has a connection to McG, the
director of "Charlie's Angels."

BRETT WINN (ON PHONE): OK,
so I'm here with Shawn.

And he talked to
Bill, his hairdresser.

So Bill doesn't want
to be in this thing.

However, he said he was
going to talk to Steven,

who is Jonathon's assistant.

Jonathon is the
owner of this hair

salon, who knows everybody.

He's doing Demi's hair.

Jonathon's sister, the
owner of this hair salon,

is engaged to McG--

LISA FURST: Oh, no way.

BRETT WINN (ON PHONE): --and
is good friends with Cameron

and the rest of the girls.

That's like eight
degrees of separation.

[laughter]

So I'm going to
call Steven, who's

the assistant to Jonathon--

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Correct.

--whose sister is
Robin, who's dating McG.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Correct.

Got it.

Yes, may I speak
with Steven, please?

Steven.

Hi, my name is John Gunn.

Did Shawn mention to you that
we're working on a documentary?

It's going really well.

And we would just love to
know if they could hook us up,

in any way, with anyone else.

OK.

They can call me anytime.

Thanks so much.

Bye-bye.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
And after all that,

it turned out to be a dead end.

We never heard from McG.

However, Brett called right
back with another lead.

JON GUNN: I was going to
ask, actually, not myself

so much as you, who
is Stephanie Bedell?

JON GUNN: Brian will interview
Drew Barrymore's cousin?

BRETT WINN (ON PHONE): Yeah.
- Ah, that's awesome.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
This was great news.

This woman is a blood relative,
someone who could actually

put a call in to Drew directly.

You guys know that I
don't know her at all.

Hi.

I don't know her.

I heard she's a
lovely, lovely woman.

[laughs]

Lovely, from so many people.

Let me just say, you know,
the biggest issue, obviously,

in my life is my body hair.

So, do you think this
is going to offend her?

Do you think this is
something that she

wouldn't want to be around?

Should I-- this is
what I'm planning on,

because I'm thinking I'm
going to get this waxed.

We like to call it hirsute.

[laugh]
- What?

- Hirsute.
- What?

You don't know
the word, hirsute?

You're sort of swarthy.

Swarthy?

Swathy and hirsute--

you should learn other
words for hairy--

[laughs]

--since you are so.

As she caresses my
hair, like a Teddy bear.

It's [laughs] sort of--

You were petting me.

You were just petting me.

Well, it's--
there's a lot there.

I know.
I-- this is what I'm saying.

I'm insecure about it.
Be ready to zoom out.

- You're a handsome man.
- Look at this.

Is this OK?

It's-- it's very, um--

- You can't even look at it.
- It's--

Get her, she can't
even look at it.

Her eyes are closed.

Brett, what do you
think of his hair?

BRETT WINN: Personally?

Mm-hmm.

BRETT WINN: It does--
- Watch it.

BRETT WINN: --matter to me.
- It does matter to you?

Great.

JON GUNN: I'll be
honest, it creeps me out.

[laughter]

Wow.

Am I really in trouble?

Eww.

Oh, my--
- Ow!

- I'm sorry.
- Ow!

[laughter]

Why did you just do that?

Can I explain this to you?

They're going to put
wax on your arms, OK?

Then they're going to put tape.

Then she's going to go one,
two, and before she says three,

she's going to sneak
attack and pull, OK?

Then she's going
to take a tweezer.

Uhh?

Oh, yeah, I have some
tweezers in my bag.

BRETT WINN: It won't take long.

Should we do a
little test on you?

No.
I'm not-- I'm not--

No, what are you doing?

OK, here we go.

Ow!

Do it from his chest.

Let's see what that feels like.

Wait a minute, how
many are you doing?

Shh, shh.
- Just one.

Oh-oww-oh!

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): It's funny,

but, after that night, I
realized being a swarthy guy

is really not that bad.

All right, so, um, well,
what-- what do I need to pay

to get me up to date on it?

Oh, I could do $65, yeah.

Um, yeah, I don't have
my checkbook with me.

Is there anyway I
could, um-- all right.

It's not going to take too
long, right, because I'm--

I'm about to walk
into a meeting.

I don't understand hos--

you know, I have a credit card
that goes to my bank account.

Now they're saying
I used too much.

It went over the limit.

I don't understand
how that can happen.

So I don't know.

So I was using that, because
I didn't have any money.

I was using the card
to pay the bills.

And I went over the
limit on that, so I have

to make the payment for that.
- So where are we now?

Day 12?
- Day 12.

What do we have?

JON GUNN: We have $857.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Yes.

That's-- that's quite good.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
That's excellent.

BRETT WINN: Money-wise,
for the movie, you're good.

Money-wise at home
is not so good.

Right, money-wise for the
movie, we're totally set.

[laughs]

Look, if, if it's a problem,
we have $857 in the budget.

Why don't you just take
$200 out of the budget

and then pay it back?
- No, no, no.

I'm not taking it out.
JON GUNN: Why not?

I'm not going to take money
out of the budget for the--

You can pay it back.

I-- I'm totally keeping
the personal stuff separate

from the budget for the movie.

I'm not taking money
out of the budget.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

If you-- if you, um--

as much as it would've been
great working with you,

if you hear of any other
jobs, that would be awesome.

All right, man.
Thank you very much, Michael.

And good luck with the show.

All right, man.

Bye.

No job.

[laughs] He went
with someone else.

Hey, are there any jobs
at Dreamworks by the way?

All right, I need a job.

I am ridiculously screwed
in terms of money.

And I just got off two
phone calls for leads,

and there's nothing out there.

That nobody can--
there's no jobs.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): To help me out,

my parents had overnighted
me a check for $100.

But since I had been
on the phone all day,

it was almost 5
o'clock, and I had

to pick up the check
from the post office

and deposit it before
the bank closed.

[ambient post office sounds]

We did the best we
could with the trailer.

We did the best we
could with the letter.

We did everything
we could to make

this as creative a
presentation as is possible.

And if they say, yes, great.

If they say, no,
then we do something

else to get them to say yes.

[ambient post office sounds]

They're redelivering it.

It doesn't say anywhere
on here that it's

going to be redelivered.

Now we just-- we wasted
a half an hour here.

And the guy-- my
mailman's got it.

And he's probably trying
to redeliver it right now.

And I'm not there, so which
means he's going to bring it

back here, and I'm going
to have to come back

here tomorrow and get it, which
means I'm another day out of my

$100.

Even if it's a no, if
we can know by the 30th.

KERRY DAVID: Even
if it's a no, yeah.

And just, even to
clarify that we're not

trying get this date how--
you see, it's in the letter.

We're working with her schedule.
- Yeah.

MAN (ON PHONE): Flower Films.
- Yeah, hi.

Gwen Stroman, please?

MAN (ON PHONE):
She's not available.

May I take a message?

We messengered
something over to here.

We're making sure
that it arrived.

MAN (ON PHONE): And what was it?

It was a DVD and a VHS.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
"My Date with Drew."

"My Date with Drew."
MAN (ON PHONE): Yes, it's here.

Has she had a chance to
look at it, do you know?

MAN (ON PHONE): Uh, not yet.
- She hasn't?

OK.

Well, um, we'll call back.
MAN (ON PHONE): OK.

Thanks a lot.

Bye-bye.

I would love to have
known that at least

Drew's people had seen the
video that we put together.

Ideally, I would love for them
to say, wow, that was cool.

We like this idea.

Let's call Drew and tell
her about it and let--

let's show it to her
and see what she says.

I, I don't mind, if Drew
says, no, then she says no.

But if it's her people
that are saying no,

and Drew doesn't get a
chance to even see the video

that we made, that would hurt.

[beep]

DYLAN (ON PHONE):
Brian, it's Dylan

returning your phone call.

It's about 6:30 in the evening.

[beep]

[ringing]

MAN (ON PHONE): Dispatch.
- Hey, man, how you doing?

I'm trying to reach Dylan.

I know he's driving around.

MAN (ON PHONE): Uh,
is this is a friend?

Um, I'm a friend of a friend.

Uh, I've been trying to
reach him for the last week.

MAN (ON PHONE):
Give me your name,

and I'll have him call you.
- OK.

It's Brian.

MAN (ON PHONE): OK, Brian.

Uh, Herzlinger.

BRETT WINN: Hey, buddy.

How you doing, man?

So, OK.

John August.

What about him?

OK.

OK.

Look at him.

Look at him smiling.

OK.

BRETT WINN: That's a--
that's a money smile.

What the hell is he saying?

- John August said yes.
- John August said yes.

OK.

Does anyone have anything
to take down a phone number

or can you--
- I can remember it.

OK.

I'll do-- remember
the first three,

you remember the last four.

BRETT WINN: We're going
to have it on tape, too.

- Oh, yeah, good point.
- What's the number?

[laughs]

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): This was huge.

I got a meeting with
John August, the writer

of "Charlie's Angels."

[crunch]

Congratulations on
all your success, man.

Thank you very much.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
OK, so I know Jon.

Jon knows Kerry.

Kerry knows Allison.

Allison is dating Dana.

Dana knows John August.

And John August knows Drew.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
You officially, now,

in this documentary--
- Yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: --are the
one who knows Drew best.

All right.

Out of all the
characters she's done--

Mm-hmm.

--which character do you think
she's most like in, in reality?

Um, I think she's sort
of cross between Dylan,

in "Charlie's Angels"
and the character she

plays in "Never Been Kissed."

I think she definitely has the
dorky-geeky aspect inside her.

But she also has this sort
of tough, ball-kicking chick

that Dylan is.

She loves music.

She's dated musicians.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I know,
she's dating this guy.

Yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
How serious are they?

I don't know.

I've not talked to
her about that at all.

Now, the premiere, the
premiere, you're going.

I'm going to go.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
You're the man.

Yeah.
BRIAN HERZLINGER: All right.

Is it at Mann's Chinese Theatre?

It's at Mann's
Chinese Theatre.

I don't know what
time it is, actually.

I haven't got my
tickets for it yet.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: All right.

It's probably 7
o'clock or 8 o'clock.

There'll be a
zillion people there.

Ah, you want to take
me to the after-party?

- I, uh, sorry, I can't--
- [laughs]

--take you.

I don't even know where
the after-party is.

I haven't got my stuff yet.
- Oh, really?

- So.
- OK.

So, I think, last time, it
was at Hollywood Athletic Club.

Hollywood Athletic Club,
that's where it was, yeah.

And, um--

Do you think there's a
chance it would be there again?

There's a very good chance
it's going to be there again.

How do you think I should
approach the whole situation

in terms of trying
to get her to say,

sure, I'll go hang out
with you for two hours?

Drew, more than anything
else, wants to have a good time

and have, you know,
people around her

who are positive,
sort of excited

about life and the challenges
and the opportunities

with which it brings.

So I think you have a shot.

John August went very well.

And if you think--

John August thinks I
have a shot to actually

get the date with her,
which is unbelievable to me.

But the-- on the
flip side of it, now,

is like, let's say I actually
do get the date, right?

Right?

What the hell am I supposed
to say to Drew Barrymore?

What do you say?

I don't want to be
sitting there like,

I love doing this and this
and this and start going

through my resum , you know?

I just-- I want to be cool.

And I'm-- I was
worried about that.

I mean, you guys--

I'm not that cool.

I'm not cool.

And I-- I'm a--

I'm scared to death that I'm
going to look like an idiot.

So I, I wanted to, um--

I was thinking about it.

I was actually thinking
about it, like I--

I'd love to be able to practice.

I'd love to be able to
practice for the date.

And, and, and do like
a test date, you know?

I think I'd feel more
comfortable knowing that I

messed up on the
test date than if I

did messing up with the
actual Drew on a real date.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER): So
I posted an ad on the internet

for actresses who
looked like Drew.

And we brought in
a bunch of girls.

WOMAN: Hey.
- Hi, I'm Brett.

- Hi, Brett.
- Nice to meet you.

Are you ready?
- Yeah.

OK.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): I'm telling you,

it is absolutely amazing
how many women think

they look like Drew Barrymore.

How are you?

Oh, my god, you're not married?

Oh, my god.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Nope.
I--

I feel-- I just want to jump
on the desk and dance for you,

like I did when I
did David Letterman.

[laughs]
BRIAN HERZLINGER: Oh, god.

Did you see that?
I'm sure you did.

I did.

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
It was a long night.

It's hard to find
someone like Drew.

But in the end, we
finally found a girl

who at least had her essence.

And after a quick makeover,
by John's wife, Lisa,

she even looked
kind of like Drew.

[polaroid camera sounds]

I was all read for my date.

All I had left to do
was find a restaurant.

So I called the owner
of Geoffrey's, one

of the fanciest
restaurants in Malibu,

and explained my
situation to him.

After hearing about my
quest, he agreed to let

me use Geoffrey's for free.

Why the hell do I
get nervous about it?

It's, it's an
actress playing Drew,

and I'm feeling nervous already.

It's-- not majorly nervous.

I'll be fine, but you know.

JON GUNN: You got
money for a tip?

Oh, we're going to have to--

I got to tip that guy.

I might have to--

Am I going to have
to tip the waiter?

Am I going to have to tip--
JON GUNN: Just the waiter.

--the manager?
JON GUNN: No, just the waiter.

What, is $10 a good tip or no?

I, I got-- what kind of
meal is this going to be?

If it's a big meal, if it's
like $100 for, for the meal,

I can't stiff the guy.

We're going have to
do major tipping.

I can't look-- I don't want to
look cheap in front of Drew,

either, if we get this date.

Dude, this is fancy.

I got to get the-- my suit out.

I got to get changed in the
middle of this frickin' parking

lot in front of everybody.
I'm not feeling good.

I don't like doing valet.
I'm rushed.

I feel rushed.

Do I look OK?

Is this OK?
- You look wonderful.

- Seriously?
- Seriously.

Oh, a mirror.

I got to follow her to the
bar, but my t-shirt is crooked.

JON GUNN: She's here, dude.
It's time to go.

All right, let's go.

Hi.

How you doing?

Oh, good, how are you?

Oh, good to be here.

So nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

We got a table over there.
- OK.

You look great, by the way.

Thank you.

So do you.
- Thanks.

- OK.
- I'm--

- Oh, no.
- Sorry.

That's OK, you
don't need to do that.

Well, you know, uh, I
don't know what I'm doing.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

So, thank you for coming.

- You're welcome.
- This is awesome.

How you guys doing?
How you doing?

DREW LOOK-ALIKE: Hi.
- That is for you, my dear.

DREW LOOK-ALIKE: Thank you.
- That's for you, sir.

Thanks, man.

Like to see a wine
list this evening?

Sure.
Yeah.

Something I can get
you to start with?

- You want wine?
- Yeah, sure.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: You do?
- Do you?

All right, so, you know,
what do you got there?

That's not the wine thing.
This is the wine thing.

No, I don't.
OK.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: What
kind do you want here?

Oh, I'm-- I'm really
good with any kind.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

You're going to
make me pick, huh?

Mm-hmm.

What's your favorite?

Uh, sparkling apple
cider, actually.

But that's a different story.

[laughs]

Um, OK, OK.

Hey, if you want
sparkling apple cider--

- No, no, no.
- --I'm sure they have it.

I don't think they
have it in this place.

- Should we ask?
- No, nah.

I'm fine.
I'm totally fine.

I just-- it's good.

Uh, Merlot is the
red wine, right?

- Yep.
- I'm going to get a Merlot.

I like that.
- OK.

- Do you want Merlot?
- Yes, please.

Is that good?

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): After the date,

I got together with the
gang to get their critique

of my performance.

I think that you should
plan to have one bottle of red

and one bottle of white in mind.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Gee.
- No, in your--

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Oh, good.

--yeah but in
your head already.

And then, depending on
which she would like,

you'd be able to suggest
a white or a red.

PAM LEVIN: [laughs] I mean
don't cut your bread like that.

Why?

What did I do?

You were stabbing it.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: What
was wrong with it?

I was cutting it.

That's the way I
always cut my rolls.

Did you cut like this?
BRIAN HERZLINGER: No.

It was--

Right, you went like this.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: It
was an awkward roll.

- What do you do for fun?
- --wonderful life.

Uh, bowl, I love bowling.

You love bowling.
Do you like "Grease 2?"

Mm-hmm!

The "you're going to score
tonight" kind of thing?

(SINGING) You're
going to score tonight.

I love that movie.

The other day I went and saw
a double feature of "The Lost

Boys" and "The Goonies."
- Ahh.

I'm, I'm so Muppety.

I'm a Muppet.

That's what's
charming about you.

- That's who you are.
- Yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I don't know.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(ON VIDEO): Yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: That's the
perfect bite, right here.

Look at that.

That's a beautiful piece
of steak I just cut.

The way I'm holding
my fork, is that bad?

Yes.
It's a little odd.

It's incorrect, shall we say?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: How the
hell do you hold a fork?

Seriously, that's
how I cut my steak.

And I've always had
a problem with it.

OK, this is what I do.

Right.

LISA FURST: That's wrong.

(LAUGHING) Oh, my god.

But this is stup--

LISA FURST: Yeah, that's--
that's how you do it.

That's exactly how you do it.

My method of
cutting a steak works.

I mean, it may not
look good on camera.

And, obviously, I haven't
worried about it, this far.

I don't think it
does work, actually.

She asked--

I don't think it
does work, either.

--if she should cut your--

But now I look like I can't
even eat a meal for 27 years.

Well, look at you.

[laughter]
- Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

This has been fun.

Take care.
I will.

You, too.
[smooch]

All right.
Oh, no.

OK.
- OK.

Talk to you later.

OK.

The whole idea of
the test date was

to make me feel better
about the whole thing,

about me actually, possibly
getting this date with Drew.

But I feel more
nervous now than I

did before I did the test date.

Because when I was
watching, with you guys, I,

I couldn't believe that
it was the same person.

Because when I was
doing the test date,

I felt like I was
doing a great job.

I thought I was doing great.

But I was watching with
you guys, and I look like--

I look like an idiot.

And I am scared
to death that if I

actually get the day with
Drew, I'm going to be screwed.

Because-- I, I am
going to be screwed.

Hey, so I got the
email back from Drew's--

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
Drew's partner.

And she said, no go.
"I'm so sorry.

I tried and got as
close as I could.

Let me know how the
whole thing turns out."

Well, who-- she first
said that she was sending

a, a message to Drew's--

to a guy friend.

KERRY DAVID: Yeah.

And now it's saying she got
a message back from Drew's

partner, and she said, no go?

KERRY DAVID: I'm
going to find out--

Well, if Nancy is saying--
if, if Drew's partner

is indeed Nancy,
and Nancy's saying,

no, then that's not good.

Kerry put out a
mass email, right?

And one of her
friends wrote her back

saying, I have a
friend, um, a guy friend

that maybe could help out.

I'll ask him if he
can help us out, OK?

So then she emails
Kerry back and says,

we talked to Drew's partner,
and she said it's a no go.

What does that mean?

Does that mean
they went to Nancy,

you know, and it's already no?

Is that-- is that it?
Is that the end of our movie?

Is it done?
What do you think?

Seriously, now, what
do you think about it?

JON GUNN: I don't know.

I mean, my feeling is
somebody went with very

little information
and said, hey,

you think Drew
can do this thing?

And probably, they got a no,
because she's out of town.

Right.

But why are people
going to the-- with not

all of the information?

JON GUNN: That's
the price you pay

for trying to go through
six degrees of separation.

[cell phone ringing]

I just want just
to get screwed up,

because somebody is not using--
saying the right information.

JON GUNN: I know.

But, you know,
unfortunately, we don't have

a lot of control over that.

Because these are the people
who are closest to Drew.

And it's because we're
not close to them

that we have to go
through friends.

Right.

I don't know.

The first email we sent out
about it, and we get a no.

All right, I've
got eight minutes

to get to the post office to
pick up that check from my dad.

If I don't get there,
I'm not eating tonight.

[ambient post office sounds]

Thank you.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
OK, so at least I

had some money in the bank.

But things with my quest
were looking pretty grim.

It was clear that
I needed guidance.

And I knew just
where to find it.

Wow.

I'm freaked out.

I don't want her to tell me that
I'm going to die or anything,

you know?

You know?

I'm going to ask her, why
the last time I was here

they said me and my
ex-girlfriend were

going to be together forever.

We done?
JON GUNN: Yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Why
are we whispering?

JON GUNN: I don't know.

Um, OK, so your
birthday is February 19.

You are a child at
heart, which is great.

That's where all of your
playfulness comes from.

So you want to know if, um--

how did you word it?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: If
the quest that I'm on

will end successfully.

OK.

Pull five cards and
put them face down.

You've not gotten a
good response so far?

Not what I was
hoping for, but--

Mmm.

They're, they're weird about
it or they're leery about it.

My feeling is the timing's
off on the getting together.

OK.

Travel something.

Now is she currently involved
with someone, because it's

showing that she is.
- Yes.

But I'm not trying to
get into a relationship.

It's just--
- Right.

So I would say that you will
eventually have a, a date.

But I don't feel like
it's the timing that you

want as far as the deadline.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
Did you hear that?

She said I'm going
to get the date.

I mean, not right away, but
I'm going to get the date!

(SINGING) I'm walking
on sunshine, whoa-o-o.

TOGETHER (SINGING): I'm
walking on sunshine.

Take it Jon.

TOGETHER (SINGING): Whoa-o-o.

I'm walking on
sunshine, whoa-o-o.

And it's time to feel good.

[MUSIC - KATRINA AND THE WAVES,
"WALKING ON SUNSHINE"] Oh,

yeah, and don't it feel good?

Oh, don't it feel good,
don't it feel good?

Now, don't it feel good.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

KERRY DAVID: Do
you want a drink?

No.

KERRY DAVID: Do
you want to shave?

No.

Do I want to shave?

No.

You told me to rush over
her, so I rushed over here.

- OK.
- What?

We just-- we just got a
call back from Flower Films.

We had a long
conversation with Gwen.

She had a couple of concerns.

She explained just
how insanely busy

that Drew is right now, with
all-- she's in Europe tomorrow.

Right.

KERRY DAVID: She's in Japan,
then she's everywhere.

Then, she said another
thing that she really

is concerned about is the
fact that she's in a very

committed relationship.

And she stressed that
over and over again.

So we said, look--

Oh.

KERRY DAVID: No, no,
no, we said, look,

Brian doesn't expect to have
a relationship with Drew.

BRETT WINN: And she said, when I
call her and pitch this to her,

I'm going to play down
the date part of it.

Is she calling-- is
she going to call her?

BRETT WINN: Well--
- No.

She's going to send
the video on to her.

Again, she needs
[inaudible] because--

That's good.

--without they're feeling
that we're stalkers.

See, I knew that boy--
that boyfriend thing

was going to come into it.

I knew it.

I was like, ahh, god.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
I couldn't believe it.

Just like the psychic said,
scheduling and her boyfriend

were going to be
the two problems.

Later that day, I got
an unexpected phone call

from my ex-girlfriend.

We hadn't spoken in months, so,
while I had her on the phone,

I decided to ask
for her opinion.

Do you mind if I tell
you about my new project?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE):
Are you taping this?

Would you mind if I was?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): Oh, my god.

Come on, say you're OK with
me taping, and then we'll--

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): No, sorry.

No, come on, I
can't tell you that.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): Now I know.

Why?
EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): Bye.

Sorry.
[laughs]

Ah, sorry, say-- come on.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): [laughs] OK.

Fine.
- I have 30 days--

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): Uh-huh

--to get one date--

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): Uh-huh.

--with Drew Barrymore.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): Oh?

Fabulous.

What do you think of the idea?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): Honestly?

Yeah.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): [laughs]

I think it's kind of stupid.

Why is it stupid?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): Like,
am I supposed to watch this?

You don't think
you'd go see it?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): No.

OK, first impressions.

What was your first
impression of me?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE):
[laughs] Are you sure?

Tell me-- tell the truth.

It's totally cool.

It's fine.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): OK.

I felt sorry for you, like poor,
you know, sad, little Brian.

You asked me out.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): Yeah, I know.

I did.

Why?

Why did you ask me out?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE):
Because after we started

talking, then you were funny.

And I liked you.

Well, what do you think
was the problem, on my end,

in our relationship as
to why we didn't work?

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON
PHONE): How you didn't

trust me at any little point.

I could go out for
coffee, and you wouldn't

trust anything that I said.

Right?
- Yeah.

EX-GIRLFRIEND (ON PHONE): OK.

[laughs] She's telling
me the things that I did.

The thing that, that she
feels that I did that ruined

the relationship was that
I wasn't trustworthy--

that I didn't trust her.

I didn't trust her.

The reason why I
did not trust her

was because she
was fooling around.

[cell phone ringing]

I did-- I didn't mean
to hurt your feelings

by asking you questions about
what you thought of the movie.

I didn't think that
was going to upset you.

I didn't.
JON GUNN: Yeah.

Yeah, he's talking
to his girlfriend.

And now they're fighting.
- What upset you about it?

JON GUNN: And I'm taping
it, so let me call you back.

You sounded fine at
the end of the call.

You sounded fine
during the call.

If at any point during
the call, you were upset,

I would not have
continued with it.

I, uh-- when I'm
done with the movie?

I'll call you when I'm
done with the movie.

All right, bye.

[beep]

[cell phone ringing]

OK, calm down.

I'm not going to be--

I'm not asking your advice
to help me get another girl.

Do you realistically
think I'm going

to able to get into--
into a relationship

with Drew Barrymore?

She's in a seriously
committed relationship.

It's one-- it's, it's not even--

I'm probably not
going to even be

able to get a dinner with her.
It's not even about that.

It's just about a
guy trying to get a--

a meeting, to meet somebody
is totally out of his reach.

OK, what's the
point of the date?

Have I or have I not had a
crush on her since I was 10?

I've worked in the
industry for six years,

and I can't afford to pay my
rent I don't know anybody.

I don't know anybody.

And that's another thing, I
can't believe you didn't even--

and the first time
I talk to you in god

knows how long, you didn't
even ask me how I was.

I don't know what's
going to happen.

There's a good chance I'm
not going to get the date.

Uhh.

Andy?

Hey, it's Jon Gunn calling
you about the Drew Barry--

Drew Barrymore project.

Oh, you don't?

Are you sure?

It-- is it, uh, is it just
that you're too busy for it,

you think, or are you
just feeling like it's not

something you need to be in?

He said, you know, it
sounds like a lot of fun.

I really hope you get to her.

And it's just not something
I think I should be doing.

I'm so busy right now.

And I'm trying not to water down
my value by showing up in too

much stuff before my movie.

So no luck on this one.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: All right.

Move on.

Oh, well.

Hey, Scott Carlson,
how you doing, buddy?

Tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.

Shall we go to Corey's place?

That sounds perfect.

Corey Feldman, 8:00 PM, at
his house, tomorrow night.

Whoo-hoo!

I wanted to be Corey Feldman
when I was growing up?

Do you know why?

Because I thought I'd be
able to get a date with Drew

if I were Corey Feldman.

I'm going to quote back to him
the line from "The Goonies"

when they're in
the wishing well.

And Martha Plimpton says, no,
you can't take these coins.

These are other people's
dreams, other people's wishes.

And Corey Feldman goes, yeah?

And he takes one
out of the water.

And he goes, this one, this one,
right here, this was my dream,

my wish.

And it didn't come true.

So I'm taking it back.

I'm taking them all back.

See, I think Drew
will go out with you.

What do you think of that?

Oh, no, [clapping]
stay with it.

Thank you.
Thank you.

You are on the inner circle.

You're a celebrity.

You know what it's like.

And I'm not.

So, what is my best approach
for this whole situation,

like trying to get to her?

I mean, do you think
I'm freaking her out?

I mean, you saw the preview.

You saw what it's like.

Um, yeah, I think that
you were a little weird.

Actually, I met Drew the first
time, I was about, I think,

10 years old.
And, uh--

Was this "Gremlins"
or "Goonies?"

What time?

It's after "Gremlins,"
during "Goonies."

OK.

I get a call from Steven
Spielberg's office--

Mm-hmm.

--who says, Drew
Barrymore is, you know,

the cutest little thing.

She's got an enormous
crush on you.

So she wants to, you know,
get together with you.

Do you mind if we give
her your phone number?

I was like, no, sure.

Go ahead.

So she was you, with
me, at one point.

So what happened?

We actually started dating
and dated for probably about,

I don't know, I think maybe
two months or something.

I did not know that.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
This was fantastic.

Drew had a crush on Corey, just
like I had a crush on Drew.

And he granted her wish.

So this gave me hope that
maybe she would grant me mine.

But I still had to
find a way to ask her.

And with less than a week
until the dreaded premiere,

I was getting desperate.

Fortunately, that
day Kerry found

out that her friend,
Bubbles, uses

the same facialist as Drew.

I immediately made
an appointment.

OK.
Hi.

What is that?

A hairnet?

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): Here we go.

I know Kerry.

Kerry knows Bubbles.

Bubbles knows Sonya
the facialist.

And Sonya knows Drew.

Is that what--

We do a lot of these for
Drew or for celebrities.

BRIAN HERZLINGER:
You do this for Drew?

Yeah, we customize,
basically, what it is.

OK.
- Ahh.

Make me work for it.
I have the work for it, right?

I got to-- I got to see the
damage I've done to myself.

Absolutely.

To justify my--

Now, you see the blackhead
here Do you want use--

- Agh, what are you doing?
- --bring the photo here?

Look at this.

The blackhead, they-- and
they have like inflammation

around the nostril.
- Oh, great.

OK.
No pain, no gain.

Go ahead.
- Yeah.

So, OK.

So we going here to get
rid of all the blackhead.

Ow.

Here you go, baby.

Oh, my god.
Jeez.

I'm going to give you
a break, because you're

really going to die here.

OK, now we're going
here, the green tea mask.

Drew loves it.

You know, she likes--

She loves the
green, the green mask?

She has the green tea,
one of her favorite.

Here you go.

Now, this is kind of
like the treatment.

You want, we going to
leave it alone for--

Oh, is that a cucumber?

Thank you.

Oh, my god.

If I go like this, like
I can feel the, the air.

You feel a breeze.
And you feel like--

Like you can feel
it in your pores.

--it really is that
working, isn't it?

Yeah.

But that-- I'm
dead-serious about that.

You can really feel
it on your face.

Now, you're going
to be a real client.

I know.
[smack]

See.

I met with Drew's
facialist today.

Very nice lady, but
I was really hoping

that, that Sonya would like
ask Drew out for me, you know?

But apparently that
would be unprofessional.

And she can't do that.

And to top it all off, now
I feel really self-conscious

about my broken capillaries.

Katie, this is John
Gunn, Nina's friend.

KATIE (ON PHONE):
What's going on?

Well, I'm, I'm
working on a documentary

about Drew Barrymore.

KATIE (ON PHONE): Oh, cool.

Anyway, Nina said, my friend
Katie knows everybody there.

She's bound to know somebody who
knows somebody who knows Drew.

KATIE (ON PHONE): Hell, yeah,
I went to her birthday party.

Do you know Drew?

KATIE (ON PHONE): Uh, no.

Well, I know a lot of
people at her company.

And I know Nancy.

And I know Linda, who used
to be there for a long time.

Oh, great.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: So Katie
gave me Nancy Juvonen's

personal email address.

This was huge.

Nancy is Drew's best
friend and business

partner at Flower Films.

I immediately sent her an
email introducing myself

and asking her to call me back.

But she never did.

We're-- we're within
the week, last week.

And the only response,
at all, we've gotten

is from a person
who knows a person

who knows Drew's partner.

And that is a no.

As of right now, it's, it's
like tearing me apart here.

Because, if this
doesn't happen, then I

feel like I've dragged you and
Brendon away for no reason.

So I'm headed
over to Brian's now.

We've got to get him
into this premier.

And the chances of that
are seeming very slim.

My hope is that, if Brian can
get face to face with her,

that'll help set the
stage for her company

telling her about the
project and encouraging it.

And then she'll have
some recognition

that, Oh, yeah, I met that guy.

He seems nice.

But then I'm actually a
little nervous about when

he gets into the premiere.

What's the right thing
to say, in a circumstance

like that, that isn't
going to turn her off

or freak her out or something?

So I don't know.

Maybe it'll be better
if he doesn't get in.

But I kind of feel like,
right now, it's our best shot.

So tomorrow's the premiere.

I'm going to the
premiere tomorrow.

I'm out of options.

And I'm going to go for it.

I'll be fine.

It'll be-- it'll be fine.

It's actually kind of poetic
if you think about it.

Because-- because I did screw up
at the first "Charlie's Angels"

premiere, so now I
have a chance to redeem

myself with the sequel.

Getting into the after-party
is going to be really hard.

This is not an easy thing to
get into, especially when you--

you're not invited.

So if, if Dylan, the limo
driver, doesn't come through,

I don't know how the heck
I'm getting in that thing.

MAN (ON PHONE): Dispatch.

Hey, is Dylan available?

MAN (ON PHONE): If Dylan
is one of our drivers,

I can get him a message.

Um, yeah, this is Brian.

I'm returning his call.

MAN (ON PHONE): OK.

We'll give the message that
Brian's returning his call.

Thank you very much.
MAN (ON PHONE): Thank you.

OK, bye.

Bye.

I don't know if we're
going to get him.

I don't know if we're going
to be able to get him.

[beep]

Hey, Brad, it's Brian.

Um, listen, I just talked
to my friend, Ricky,

and he told me that the
after-party is in the parking

lot across the street.

They're having
probably-- I think it's

going to be a big tented area.

Because I think we drove
by there yesterday,

and I saw tents set up.

I think you should get to
Mann's Chinese around 6:30.

OK.
Where are you?

I'll get there.

I'll go right from work, here.
- OK, well--

It's right over here.

And we'll try to get as close
to the action as possible.

If that's as
close as we can get,

I'd rather be right in
front of the theater.

JON GUNN: It's going to be hard.

And then we'll sneak
up, as close as we can,

to the red carpet.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
By the time I left

that restaurant, we had a plan.

And I was actually excited
about the premiere.

(SINGING) I keep working
my way back to you,

babe, uhn, with a
burning love inside.

I'm so hot, I'm burning.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
This was my big chance.

If Drew was going to
be at that after-party,

then I had to get in, too.

That way, I could ask
her out in person.

But how does a guy like me
get into one of the biggest

Hollywood parties of the year?

Fake passes, that's how.

Brett had a friend who
was a graphic artist.

So we put him to work designing
realistic looking badges,

while I got ready
for the big night.

She's not going
to see me, dude.

I don't even know why
I'm even doing this.

[MUSIC - THE SPINNERS, "WORKING
MY WAY BACK TO YOU"]

Now my nights are
long and lonely,

and I ain't too strong, babe.

I just miss you so.

Girl, but you're too proud.

[patting]

Am I bulging anywhere?

Do I look all right?

JON GUNN: Turn around.

Fine.

[MUSIC - THE SPINNERS, "WORKING
MY WAY BACK TO YOU"] I

keep working my way
back to you, babe,

with a burning love inside.

Hey, I'm working my
way back to you, babe,

and the happiness that died.

I let it get away.

So many people, man.

I'm not going to get near her.

I'm not going to get
near the theater.

[MUSIC - BONNIE TYLER, "HOLDING
OUT FOR A HERO"]

(SINGING) Where have
all the good men gone

and where are all the gods?

Where's the streetwise Hercules
to fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white
knight upon a fiery steed?

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): OK, stop.

Go back.

You see that?

This was going to be a problem.

Our passes look
nothing like that.

My chances of getting
in weren't looking good.

But then Jon had an idea.

He rewound the tape,
froze on this image

and called Brett, who
was still at work.

He described the pass
to Brett, in detail,

and Brett went back to
his graphic artist friend

to make a new pass in time
to laminate it and get

it to us within the hour.

We were back on track.

[MUSIC - BONNIE TYLER, "HOLDING
OUT FOR A HERO"] I need a hero.

I'm holding on for a hero
till the morning light.

He's got to be sure.

And it's got to be soon.

And he's got to be larger
than life, larger than life.

Do do do doo, do
do do doo, do do do

doo, ahh, ahh, I need a hero.

I'm holding on for a hero
till the end of the night.

He's got to be strong.

And he's got to be fast.

And he's got to be
fresh from the fight.

I need a hero.

MAN (ON PHONE): While Drew
and all the celebrities

were watching the
movie, Jon, Brett,

and I went across the street to
Hamburger Hamlet to strategize.

BRETT WINN: You
look nervous, Brian.

You all right?

I look nervous?

Look at that hand shaking.

You have to understand that I
was in that situation before.

I was standing next to her,
as close as I am to you,

and I really wanted to
just say, hi, I'm a fan.

Or, hi, I really
loved the movie.

I could not physically do it.

JON GUNN: I know we're going to
have this little tape recorder,

uh, hidden away in your coat.

Right.

JON GUNN: But just in case
they either confiscate--

[inaudible]
JON GUNN: --that.

Or I'm not sure that
we'll hear any of it.

They're going to-- you think
they're going to confiscate it?

Are they going to
be searching me?

JON GUNN: I don't know.
They might.

Well, we may have
to watch first.

JON GUNN: Yeah.

So let's watch a couple
other people get it.

JON GUNN: See how
much they care.

Because security is
heightened, I know for a fact.

They have bulletproof vests.

They-- there are people
there with bulletproof vests.

BRETT WINN: OK, well,
maybe you won't be

able to do the tape recorder.

Or maybe you'll be bailing
me out of jail tonight.

BRETT WINN: They're not
going to put you in jail

for having a tape recorder.
- No.

But you know what they
may put me in jail for?

BRETT WINN: What?

Fake passes.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
Just before the movie let out,

I walked down to
the party entrance

to scout out the
security situation.

It wasn't good.

I don't know if it's--
look, I don't know

if it's going to work.

I really don't know if
it's going to work, dude.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
As the minutes tick by,

I was starting to freak out.

It was clear I needed backup.

So Brett and Jon's wives
made copies of the passes

and met us at the restaurant.

That way, in case I
actually got into the party,

Pam and Lisa could go
with me for support.

JON GUNN: I still
think you should talk.

I've had-- I can't--

I, I free-- I, I no--

I--

But you can still
mention that--

JON GUNN: What we might be able
to do is get one of the girls

to go over to her and say,
see that guy, over there,

I just want to
let you know, he's

had the biggest crush on you.

And he-- his, his,
his lifelong dream

is to get a date with you.

And, um--

What are you talking about?

Can you believe this?

Can you believe this?

That's awesome.

Just, just have it in
your jacket like that.

It looks great.
JON GUNN: You're good.

You're good.

[ambient street sounds]

[street performer music playing]

[ambient crowd sounds]

Helicopters, limousine.

JON GUNN: What are you, nervous?

I'm freaking out, dude.

JON GUNN: Dude, you're
going to be fine.

You're going to do it.
- Good.

All right.
JON GUNN: Just be natural.

You wouldn't be nervous if
you were just going in there.

I wouldn't be nervous.
JON GUNN: So just relax.

All right, I'm fine.

[ambient crowd sounds]

JON GUNN: Oh, my god.

Oh my god.

[laughs]

That was cake.
JON GUNN: That was--

Totally cake.

That was too easy.

Are you kidding me?

JON GUNN: That was
dangerously easy.

I know.

Well, you know, I think
there's other guards.

JON GUNN: Oh, no.

Brett, they're stopping him.

Nice.

Ha ha!

I cannot believe that.

You walked right in.

Hey, Andy Dick.
- What's up?

How you doing, man?

BRETT WINN: Hey, Andy Dick.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
Look at that, Andy Dick.

We got Andy Dick after all.

Brian,

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(ON PHONE): Yeah.

--can you hear me?

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(ON PHONE): Just.

Hold on.
BRETT WINN: I can't--

I can't hear.
- Right.

Can you hear me, Brian.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(ON PHONE): Jon?

Yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON PHONE): OK.

BRETT WINN: Totally.
Totally.

I got the footage
of you just walking

right in there, both times.

We're not going to leave.

We're going to hang out
at Hamburger Hamlet, OK?

JON GUNN (ON PHONE): I hope
you're getting this shot.

I hope you're getting it.

Have you talked to Drew yet?

What do you mean
you couldn't do it?

You-- dude, dude,
you have to do it.

BRETT WINN: He's not leaving.

Hey, Brian--

BRETT WINN: Don't let him leave.

Brian, can you hear me Brian?

Brian?

He's talking, but
he's not listening.

Brian!

Brian!

Br-- Brian!

He says he's going to try
one more time to talk.

No.

BRETT WINN: I can't
hear anything.

He said he stood one
foot away from her,

and he couldn't do it.

And then he said,
I'm going to try.

Maybe, I'll try one more time.
I'll call you back in a minute.

But then we're going to meet you
at Hamburger Hamlet, he said.

Hey, Brian, can you hear me?

Do not leave without
talking to Drew.

OK, go talk to your.

[distant party sounds]

The moon landing.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON
PHONE): Ah, Jesus Christ.

I don't know.

BRETT WINN: Don't you bail now.

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): That was it.

Did you hear it?

Let's go back.

DREW BARRYMORE (ON PHONE):
It's nice to meet you.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
OK, one more time.

And if you listen
really carefully,

you can actually
hear Drew's voice.

DREW BARRYMORE (ON PHONE): And
there it was, nice to meet you.

The first sentence ever spoken
to me by Drew Barrymore.

[ambient crowd sounds]

Thank you.

JON GUNN: Brian.
- Hey, Jon.

Hi.

JON GUNN: You got to
talk to me, buddy.

I cannot believe
we just did that.

BRETT WINN: Yeah.

JON GUNN: Dude, it sounded
like-- you sounded like you

were doing the moon landing.

You're like, she's
four feet away,

[chh-shh] she's four feet away.

I-- let me just
tell you something.

These passes not only
got us in to the event,

but you needed to have this
pass to get into the main--

The VIP area.

--the VIP section,
where they were.

And they just waved us in.

These passes got us
not only into the event

but into the VIP--

It's like they were
saying "no" to people.

--couch section.

And then we just
went like this.

Are you--
- That's where they were.

We just walked right in.

He wasn't going to do it.

So it was very important.

Just, just-- I, I think, if this
is how he's acting in a crowd,

if he actually gets
a date with here--

PAM LEVIN: There's no way.

So this is my
point of view, OK?

I'm Drew.

You be Pam.

Demi Moore is right here.
Demi Moore--

Can I be Pam?
OK.

Lisa, come here.
You be Demi Moore.

- I'll be Demi.
- You're, you're sitting.

And I'm like that.

Demi-- D-Drew is like this.

I'm Drew.

Drew's like this, talking.

And I bent down like
this, and I went, excuse me.

Hi.

Hi.

I just wanted to
introduce myself to you.

- Right.
- I'm Pam.

Nice to meet you.

My husband just edited
the trailer for "Duplex."

Oh, my god.
Wow.

Tell him I said,
thank you so much.

- Absolutely.
- OK.

Thank you.

And now I'll run over here.

OK.

And Brian is right here.

You be Demi, Pam.
Come here.

Look at me.
- I'll be Demi.

OK.
Just--

And I said, excuse
me, I'm sorry to bother

you for a minute, but my
friend over here is real shy.

And he really wants to meet you.

But, um, can I
just introduce you?

And so, I said, this is Brian.

And then Brian went--

OK, and then she--

she shakes my hand, like--

I, I, I, I had the
cell phone in my hand.

Right, so you could all hear it.

And then I go.

I gave the weakest
handshake of my life.

I just remembered it, right now.
I went like this.

Oh!

[laughter]

Oh, my god, why
did you let me do--

I cannot believe
I just did that.

Jon, I totally forgot.

I did-- I did this.

17 years, and I--

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): I had done it.

I had faced my greatest
fear and come through.

Unfortunately, although
I'll never forget it,

it certainly wasn't
memorable for Drew.

And I still hadn't
managed to ask her out.

So with only four days left,
I was back to square one.

And to make matters worse, the
next day, I got a call from E!

Entertainment to come
in for a job interview.

Although I needed
the work, I also

needed all my time free, since
I had less than a week left.

And it was a very low-paying,
entry-level position.

But as my mom says, it's
better to have something coming

in then nothing coming in.

JON GUNN: We're at 8530.

You need 5750.

And you have--

One minute.

JON GUNN: --one minute.

That's not good.
- Nope.

[ding]

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
I was feeling pretty down as I

showed up to the interview.

I mean, when Drew's name
appeared on that game show,

I never imagined my
quest would end with me

applying for a dead-end job.

If this was a risk I
was supposed to take,

then why did I feel like
I was wasting my soul?

I just needed
something to reassure

me that I was doing the right
thing, you know, like a sign.

And then, right as I walked
up to the reception desk,

can you believe it?

Right in front of me.

It was a sign.

I mean, literally,
it was a sign.

20 minutes late
for the interview.

BRETT WINN: 20 minutes.

MAN: Brian?
- Matthew.

MAN: How are you?

[laughs] How are you?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I went
in for that job interview.

ZITA HERZLINGER (ON PHONE): Yes.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: But I
was up front with the guy.

ZITA HERZLINGER (ON PHONE): Yes.

And I told him, like,
look, we're kind of

on the verge of doing
something pretty big

here with the documentary.

I don't want you
to hire me and then

me come two weeks in and
tell you that I can't do it.

ZITA HERZLINGER
(ON PHONE): Hrmm.

We'll see, you know?

I don't know if I'm--

I don't know.

I'm going to be making barely
more than unemployment.

ZITA HERZLINGER
(ON PHONE): Brian.

What.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

I'm, I'm-- I know.

OK, it's the guy for me.

All right, he's, uh--

he's saying, I think, I
think I want you to start

working for me on Monday.

So he's offering me
the job on voicemail.

It won't piss you an Jon
off, right, if I do it?

BRETT WINN (ON PHONE):
Oh, Brian, of course not.

You need money.

You're not mad that
I'm working, are you?

No.

If you weren't working,
pal, this wouldn't be--

we wouldn't have the camera.

BRETT WINN (ON PHONE): Exactly.

So, you know, you need to work.

I know.
All right.

BRETT WINN (ON PHONE):
You know what I mean?

You need to make more money.

Yeah.

We have three days left.

And I still have no
word from Flower Films.

And, uh, the six
degrees of separation

have obviously not gotten
to Drew fast enough.

So we put our heads
together, and we decided

to broaden our
scope and, um, take

the six degrees of
separation concept

and apply it to the whole world.

So we decided the best way
to do that was the internet.

All right, If we
do this website,

OK, then everything else
we've been talking about,

articles in the paper,
radio interviews,

it's to get people
to go to the website.

To the website.

JON GUNN: And the website has
a simple goal, one single goal.

Six degrees of separation.

JON GUNN: Help us reach--

Help us get a date with Drew.

Exactly.

This website that
we're talking about,

it's got all this stuff.
It's got the trailer on it.

It's got us saying, help us
get the date with Drew, right?

How long is it going to take for
us to get that up and running

and how much is it going--
JON GUNN: The website?

BRETT WINN: It's really easy
to get it up, to buy the site,

get it up and going.

Simply, My date with Drew, put
the synopsis we already wrote,

show the trailer.
JON GUNN: It's really simple.

It's the simplest
website you've ever seen.

It's one page with
a contact us here.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER): So
with the help of a few friends,

I had a website up and
running in less than 24 hours.

All I needed now
was some publicity.

But I don't mind
telling you, it's

not easy reaching a
large number of people

with this kind of budget.

[truck horn blaring]

LARA SCOTT (ON RADIO): Now,
Brian has called in to hear

"Tainted Love," from Soft Cell.

What are you doing today?

Are you working?

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON RADIO): I
am actually working, uh, making

a documentary, right now.

And it's basically, I'm
trying to get, uh, a date

with Drew Barrymore in 30 days.

LARA SCOTT (ON RADIO):
That's the whole movie?

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON RADIO):
Yeah, it's really short.

No, no, actually,
we're just, um--

we have 30 days to get one
date with Drew, with $1,100

that I won in game show.

And it's basically, how
does an ordinary guy

get to somebody like Drew.

And we're, we're
running out of time.

LARA SCOTT (ON RADIO): Well,
is there any way, like, uh,

can I take a number or
something, where people,

if they want to help you?

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON
RADIO): Uh, no, actually,

what we've just got
up is a website.

LARA SCOTT (ON RADIO): Well,
Brian, good luck to you.

Mm!

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON
RADIO): Thank you so much.

LARA SCOTT (ON RADIO): And,
uh, keep me posted, OK?

BRIAN HERZLINGER (ON RADIO):
Thank you so much, Lara.

I appreciate it.

JON GUNN: That,
that was amazing!

Yeah!
JON GUNN: That was amazing!

That was awesome.
JON GUNN: First radio interview.

[laughs] Oh, my god.

That sounded great.

BRETT WINN: That was awesome.

That was everything
we needed to say.

BRETT WINN: That was everything.

Now let's see what happens.

JON GUNN: Dude,
the server's down.

John Mann just checked
it, and he said,

it cannot be found
or server site not

active or something like that.

It cannot-- it can't open up.

It was just up like
a half an hour ago.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: How
long do you think it will

take for it to come back on?

JON GUNN: It goes down 10
minutes before the interview.

10 minutes before?

I have no idea.
I don't know what happened.

Ohh.

JON GUNN: So now, we've just
got this great interview,

with everyone out
there, in the world,

trying to check out
My Date with Drew.

And there's nothing there.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
It was my 29th day,

and the website
still wasn't working.

There was nothing
else I could do.

And just when I thought things
couldn't get any worse--

JON GUNN: What?

Believe this?

JON GUNN: What does it say,
she's going to marry him?

She's getting married.
JON GUNN: It's "The Star."

According to my mom,
they know everything first.

She's using Steven
Spielberg's house.

She's crazy in
love with Fabrizio,

and she can't wait
to be his wife.

I'm asking for a date, and
she's getting-- she's engaged?

That's not good.

All right, so we're on day 30.

We're at our deadline.

And, um, we're not exactly where
I thought we were going to be

when we started the project.

I was hoping we
were going to have

a yes from Drew or even a no.

But, as of right now, we don't
have an answer yet, either way.

So, the thing that
sucks is that we

still have to return
the camera today,

because our 30 days are up.

And I can't believe I'm getting
emotional about returning

a camera to Circuit City.

God.

[MUSIC - ERIC CARMEN, "ALL BY
MYSELF"] Living alone, I think

of all the friends I've known.

JON GUNN: All right.

All right, guys.

JON GUNN: I guess this is it.

So this is it.
JON GUNN: Here you go, sir.

Here's your camera.

[MUSIC - ERIC CARMEN, "ALL BY
MYSELF"] --the telephone,

nobody's home.

All by myself.

Don't want to be all
by myself anymore.

All by myself, don't want to
live all by myself anymore.

BRIAN HERZLINGER (VOICEOVER):
So a few days passed.

I started my depressing job.

And things were
looking pretty bleak.

But then, you won't
believe what happened next.

The server came back up,
and news of the website

spread like wildfire.

People visited the
site, then told

their friends to
check it out, who told

their friends to check it out.

And finally, the six degrees of
separation were working for me.

It was amazing.

Thousands of people were
writing to me, every day,

from all over the world,
telling me how much they

wanted to see me get this date.

So we went to another Circuit
City, got another video camera.

And with $552 left,
my movie was back on.

Before I knew it, I was being
contacted by all kinds of radio

stations, TV shows,
and publications asking

to do interviews and stories.

And in all the excitement,
I kept holding out hope

that maybe the word would
finally get back to Drew.

And it did.

[phone ringing]

KERRY DAVID: OK, I just got off
the phone with Gwen Stroman.

She just called.

She needs for us to Federal
Express a DVD of the tape

to Drew, tonight.

She's in New York, but
it has to go out tonight.

I said, well, couldn't
you download it,

because she can certainly
watch it on the internet?

And she's just nervous that
the timing is going to be off,

and that they really want to be
able to put it in Drew's hands

and strike while
the iron is hot.

So, can you get them
a DVD, getting it

out tonight, to arrive
tomorrow, first thing?

I don't know who has a DVD.

I don't have one here.

And we have, I think, like
45 minutes to get-- a 5:45,

we think, is the last one out.

It's 5:00.
What if we--

JON GUNN: Get back in the chair.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I
got to call Brett.

[laughter]

JON GUNN: Sit down in the chair.

I don't know what to do.

JON GUNN: Wait a minute.

Wait.

Hold on.
Just hold on.

Brett?
BRETT WINN (ON PHONE): Yeah.

Listen.

Can you hear me?

No.

Ah, dude, we're-- we-- we're
going get the date with Drew,

maybe.

We have to send a DVD
to Drew in New York.

Kerry just got off
the phone with Gwen.

We have 45 minutes to
get a DVD out an FedEx

to get it to Drew so she can
watch it tomorrow morning.

I don't think we
have any DVDs anymore.

I'll come over to
your place, right now.

JON GUNN: Oh, no.

I don't know who
had the last DVD.

I--
JON GUNN: We can't.

We can't do that, dude.

We can't-- by the time we
get there and burn it--

I know.

JON GUNN: --and we won't--
it will be too late.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Who,
who else has DVDs in LA?

Who has a DVD in LA?
Who?

I don't know.

Didn't I have one?

I showed it-- I was
showing it to Lisa's

family or-- wait a minute.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: If
you have one, John?

I'm thinking.

I had one.

For a while, I've had one.

Did we give it to somebody?

BRIAN HERZLINGER: I gave
you my next to last one.

So that one that you're
looking for is the one--

We're trying to
figure out what to do.

I don't think it's physically
possible for-- it's not,

for us to unhook the drive,
drive it to you in Hollywood,

have you burn the DVD,
drive back in 45 minutes.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Does
he have one at his house?

Oh, wait, wait, Brett,
hold one second, OK.

Hello?

No, no, that's not the problem.
That's perfect.

I was hoping you'd
have that one.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: What?
What?

Oh, thank god.
BRIAN HERZLINGER: Kerry has one?

Kerry has one.
BRIAN HERZLINGER: Oh, thank god.

[squealing tires]

Ahh!

I'm going to die on the way.

All right.

This, this is what should
have happened long ago.

[cell phone ringing]

I knew there was a reason I
needed to have a phone with me.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: What happened?
What happened?

Oh, my god.
So what did she say, Kerry?

Tell me more?
BRIAN HERZLINGER: Why?

What?

What do you need
her to tell you?

Nancy is going to
be calling you, Brian.

So Gwen called to say that
Nancy wants to talk to Brian.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Oh, my god.

Gwen called Kerry and said,
Nancy wants to talk to you.

So, she said she's going
to call on this phone,

since you don't have yours.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Uh-huh.

Kerry said, call on this
phone number, for the next hour

and, if it's after that,
to call on your cell phone.

We don't know when it's coming,
but Nancy may be calling,

so we have to keep
this phone close.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: Oh, my god.

All right.

What time should it
get there, you think?

- 10:30.
- 10:30?

Thank you.

No problem.

Thanks.

All right, it's on its way.

Hello?

Yes, it is.

Hi, Nancy.

How you doing?

Thank you so much for calling.

Oh, I'm OK.

We're-- we're just actually,
uh, standing outside of FedEx.

We just, uh, dropped off the DVD
of the trailer to send out to,

to the hotel tomorrow.

Oh, oh, you've seen the website?

Oh, my god, Nancy, that's so--

Oh, my god, Nancy,
that's amazing.

I-- we, we--

She didn't know anything
about it until last week?

JON GUNN: What did she say?
- She said that this is the--

Hello?

Hello?

This is the most
darling project.

They love it.

Drew is watching.

They set up a website,
a viewing for her,

tonight, to look at it.

She got off the phone with
Drew about an hour ago.

And she told Nancy, she
says-- she's been out of town.

She's been out of reach.

The first thing she
heard about it was, was--

a week ago, she heard about
it for the first time.

And she is tickled pink.

She's flattered it's about her.

She can't believe
this about her.

She's so excited.

She's watching the
website tonight.

They're sending the
DVD as a back-up.

Nancy is freaking out.

She says, we're going to
fit right in over there.

They're kids and dreamers.

They're kids and dreamers.

JON GUNN: What?

[laughter]

Jon, holy shit!
Oh, my god.

[laughter]

I just got a date
with Drew Barrymore.

- Who?
- Drew Barrymore.

What, you have a date?

- I got a date with her.
- Really?

- Yes!
- Congratulations!

Thank you!

[laughs] Thank you!

I just had to tell somebody.

Go and be careful, be good.

OK, Drew said, yes.

All right, she said--
she said, yes.

I couldn't believe it.

Nancy called to tell me
that my date with Drew

is going to take place in
New York City, on August 27,

at a restaurant called
The Miracle Grill--

Miracle!

Ahh.

That gives me one week
to prepare for this.

[MUSIC - HALL & OATES, "YOU
MAKE MY DREAMS"] What I want

you've got and it might
be hard to handle,

but like a flame that burns
the candle, the candle

feeds the flame, yeah, yeah.

What I've got's full stock
of thoughts and dreams

that scatter, then you
pull them all together.

And how can I explain, oh, yeah.

Well, well you, ooh-ooh, ooh,
ooh-ooh, you make my dreams

come true.

Ooh-ooh, you, you,
you-hoo ooh, you-hoo.

Well, well, well, you,
ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, oh, yeah,

you make my dreams come true.

You-hoo, you, hoo-hoo.

Well, yeah.

You-hoo.

On a night when bad dreams
become a screamer, when they're

messing with the dreamer, I
can laugh it in the face, twist

and shout my way out and
wrap yourself around me.

Because I ain't way
the way you found me.

And I'll never be
the same, oh, yeah.

Well, because you, you-ooh,
ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, mm-hmm,

you make my dreams come true.

You-ooh.

Ow!

[dinging]

Thanks a lot.

Dylan.

[MUSIC - HALL & OATES, "YOU
MAKE MY DREAMS"] Well, well,

well, you, you-ooh,
ooh, ooh-ooh,

you make my dreams come true.

You-ooh, you, you-ooh.

Whoah, yeah.

You-ooh.

I'm down on my daydream,
oh, that sleepwalk

should be over by now.

I know about you!

Yeah, yeah, you make
my dreams come true.

- Did you, really?
- Yeah.

- You're kidding?
- No, I'm serious.

Oh, my gosh.

[MUSIC - HALL & OATES, "YOU
MAKE MY DREAMS"] --you girl,

ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, yeah,
you make my dreams come true.

Ooh-ooh, me, you, me,
you, me, I'm waiting

for, waiting for you, girl.

Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, Oh, my,

You-ooh, oh, you, you-ooh, ooh.

Whoa whoa.

I've waited for--

1st and 6th, Miracle Grill.

[MUSIC - HALL & OATES, "YOU
MAKE MY DREAMS"] --waited

for waited for, waited for.

You make my dreams ooh, ooh-ooh,
you, you-ooh ooh, you, you.

Whoo.

I've been waiting for you, girl.

Ah, thank you.

BRETT WINN: It's going
to be great, Brian.

You got nothing to worry about.

What's the great
song you're singing?

"Cool Ride."

BRETT WINN: I want to
C, O-O-L, R-I-D-ER.

[laughs]

BRETT WINN: You're
going to be awesome.

You are awesome.

You're a rock star.

JON GUNN: Hey, Brian,
she's here buddy.

BRETT WINN: This is it, dude.

It's going to be great, Brian.

You got nothing to worry about.

JON GUNN: Awesome.

He's just around the corner.

BRETT WINN: Hey, Brian?
BRIAN HERZLINGER: Yeah.

Brian, there's someone
here to meet you.

- Hi.
- Hi, how are you?

Hi, how are you?
[laughter]

This is so-- how you doing?

Wow, you look really,
really, really on style.

You look amazing.

You look absolutely beautiful.
- Thank you.

Thank you so much
for doing this.

- Oh, none of that.
- OK, wait, this is our table.

Let me take you to it.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Well, you know--

and these-- you
like daisies, right?

I do.
They're my favorite flower.

OK, well we did research.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

Thank you.
Ooh, I have a present for you.

- You have a present for me?
- I do.

Hah, well, I have a
present for you, too.

Oh, shoot.

See, I'm-- like, I know.

This is good stuff.

I get a present and flowers?

This is huge.
It's so--

- You're a great date.
- --huge.

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

Sit.
Relax.

- OK.
- Should we move these off?

What should we do?

Um, do you want to open them--

Do you want me
to open it here?

--or should we
wait till later?

- You want to wait till later?
- OK.

- OK, let's do that.
- It'll be sort of like--

All right.

--a dessert, end of thing,
closure type of thing.

Love the closure thing.

I cannot believe I'm
sitting here with you.

This is amazing.
This is awesome.

This is great.

It's absolutely great.
Hi.

WAITRESS: Hi.

So you guys want
something to drink?

Do you want white wine?

I do.

[laughs] OK, you pick.

I was supposed to
order-- oh, do you--

I have a-- what-- do
you like RH Philips?

I have no idea about wine.

I don't either.

I was asking the guy
in there about wine.

I wish I was an aficionado.

I wish I was a connoisseur.

But mostly, I'm just like,
you know, bring on the vino.

[laughter]

You know, whatever you want.

They got pinot
grigio, I know that.

- I like that.
- OK, do that, pinot grigio.

- I like that.
- Good.

Thank you so much.

First time me having pinot
grigio, I'm fine with it.

I'm glad it's with you.

You were on a game show.

And I was an answer?

You were THE answer.

I was the answer.

Let me tell you what happened.

You know, you ever
played the board game?

You play board games?

DREW BARRYMORE: I love games.

Do you like Taboo?
You ever play it?

I love Taboo.
Eeeh, eeh.

That's the one.
And you buzz it in their ears.

Yes.

So, I'm sitting there,
and I'm like whatever.

I'm a little nervous.

And then the first name
that came up was your name.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And them I'm like,
trying to figure out.

You can's say "Charlie's
Angels," can't say "ET",

can't say "Wedding Singer."

But they got it.
They got it, and we won.

DREW BARRYMORE: Really?
- We won the show.

Oh, that's right.

That's the $1,100,
because it's a pilot

game show, not that much.

DREW BARRYMORE:
That's wonderful.

And we-- and we were using
that to make the movie.

I'm really excited
that I'm a part of this.

And yet, I'm excited that
I'm a part of your journey.

Oh, thank goodness.
Awesome

Because there's something
really beautifully

balanced about
what you're doing,

in that you're using something
that keeps reoccurring

in your life as
an incentive to do

something that you
personally, really want to do

and are interested in.

Maybe, I'm a link in
your chain of fate.

Um, or I'm an instigator
of things that you

have to do for yourself.

It's crazy.

It's absolutely cra-- you
want to see something weird?

- OK.
- Look at this.

OK.

So when I was like 10,
I was your fan club.

DREW BARRYMORE: No way.

Swear to god.

You were in my fan club.

Pink letter-- look at it.

Do you remember this envelope?

I was your age.

Oh, my god, I
remember this picture.

Really.

That's-- oh, that's awesome.

Thank you.

I'm totally blushing, by the
way, which is interesting,

because I never blush.

I blush too much.
And you know who told me that?

Who?

Sonya, your facialist, who
we got an interview with.

Oh, no!

Yes, we went in there.

She was popping my
blackheads on camera.

It was-- I, I--

Oh, my god. you interviewed--

BRIAN HERZLINGER: --I
didn't know I had them.

- --Sonya?
- We tried to.

We tried to interview her.
- I--

She, she gave me a facial.

But your skin
looks really good.

Thank you.
Thank you.

OK, wait, hold on.
- OK.

All right, we'll go back.
Let me start from the beginning.

Uh--
- We sound like two girls--

I, I, I, I, I.

I know, I know,
valley girls, right?

Um, uh, what the
heck was I saying?

- That's so--
- I'm fuzzy, I think.

I'm going to tell you
something about "Grease 2," OK?

DREW BARRYMORE: I
love "Grease 2."

And I swear to god,
you got to believe me

in this whole
universe, karmic thing.

DREW BARRYMORE: Got it.

Since I was-- since I was a
kid, I have divided the people

of the world into two groups.

DREW BARRYMORE: OK.

Those who love "Grease
2," and those who don't.

I get to be in column A.

That's what I'm talking about.

[laughter]
- High-five.

Oh, you want that one?
We'll do this with that.

Thank you.
[laughs]

I mean, I, I-- we have
the soundtracks in our car.

We, we--
- Really?

--we sing it.

Now, I don't-- I didn't
know you liked it until--

DREW BARRYMORE: I love.
- --when you went on Letterman.

Was it Letterman when
you're talking about--

- Yes, yes, yes.
- --"Grease 2?"

Yes, because we were
singing all the songs.

I freaked out.
I freaked out.

I love it.

And the next night,
on cable, "Grease 2."

- It was on!
- Did you watch it?

Ahh, like two
weeks ago, right?

- Yes, two weeks ago.
- Yes!

That's what I'm talking about.
You-- we were freaking out.

- I totally watched it--
- I was like there--

--again.

And you know what
I was going to do?

If we were able to do the
date back in LA-- well,

the meeting, whatever it
is-- the thing back in LA,

we were going to do
a whole luau thing,

like the end of "Grease 2."
- [laughs]

But then I started
realizing, that's hard.

The Lani Kai Lani Luau.

The Lani Kai Lani Luau.

We actually went to, uh, the
"Full Throttle" premiere,

over in LA.

I saw footage of that.

Oh, you-- and, and me waving,
when the guy goes, hopefully?

Yes.

Gosh, you know, I
wish that I had known,

um, about this,
about you, um, known

you, personally, at that point.

I would have loved to
invited you to that.

Yeah, I saw your three-minute--

The trailer.

DREW BARRYMORE: --sort of
proposal, trailer, doc--

Yes.

--documentary.

And, uh, I really,
really liked it.

It seemed like you
were having fun.

And god, do we need more
of that in this world.

You watched the
trailer on DVD, right?

Yes.

In fact, I was staying
in an apartment.

I'm staying at a friend's
apartment, here, in New York.

And, uh, she doesn't have a VHS,
and I kept getting VHS copies.

And I was like, somebody
call him and tell him.

I know he's got 30 days, and I
can't watch the stupid thing.

[laughs] That is so cool
that you were worried about it.

Because we were like
she's-- she's never--

- I was worried--
- --going to see it.

--about your feelings.

I didn't want you to think that
I was like, yeah, whatever.

I'll get to it when I get to it.

And I'm very proud
of you, even though I

don't know you, personally--

Well, thank you.

--very well.

But for, you know, doing so much
with your time and your life

and figuring out what
you wanted to do.

And, you know, so many
people have goals and dreams,

but I think that it's very
scary and difficult to take

those steps, especially,
initially to fulfilling them

or to realizing them or
even just trying them.

That's awesome.

I'm so impressed that
you're out there doing it.

Well you inspired me.

I wouldn't be doing it
if you weren't here.

So you did great.
Thanks for being born.

[laughter]

I mean that's great.

That's-- you know, I don't
think I've ever heard that one

before, thanks for being born.

Well, I've never
said it before,

so I'm glad we have a first.

Thank you.

Cheers, thank you.

I'll remember
this moment forever.

So, I think you
know I will, too.

[laughs] Good, I'm glad.

So, do you want
open your present?

- OK.
- All right, I'll open mine.

You open yours first, though.

It's probably a good thing
we're starting to wrap up,

because I'm totally getting
hammered, by the way.

- Are you fuzzy?
- [laughs]

This is awesome.
Did you--

Should we open
at the same time?

- Yeah, open at the same time.
- OK.

Do that.

Do that.

Here it goes.

All right, this is cool.

By the way, thank you.

By the way, thank you.
It's awesome.

I like this card.

High five again.

[laughs] All right.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Thank you.
All right, we're opening.

OK.

Oh, my god, a Snoopy
Sno-Cone machine.

Oh, my god, you totally
got me a video camera.

Yes.

- That is unbelievable.
- Right?

- Thank you so very much.
- You like that?

You OK with it?

Oh, my god, this is
the coolest thing ever.

Do you have like 20 of them?

I don't have a Snoopy
Sno-Cone Machine.

You don't?
I'm glad you like them.

I'm glad you didn't have one.
I was worried you had one.

I think this is a very, very,
very perfect gift, actually.

This is a perfect gift.

I really love it.

This is great.

Now, I have
longer than 30 days.

- Yes.
- This is great.

Actually, you have
as long as you want.

Look, I've got
flowers and a Snoopy

Sno-Cone machine and a card.

You're set.

I got to have a date with you.
- That's like so cool.

It was great.
Thank you.

[laughter]

BRIAN HERZLINGER
(VOICEOVER): And there it

is, my date with Drew.

With a lifetime to
imagine it, I never

could have created a more
perfect moment than this.

And for anyone
out there thinking

of pursuing a lifelong
dream, take the risk.

I highly recommend it.

OK, so one last time, I
know Drew, one degree.

[polaroid camera sounds]

How's that for a
dream come true?

[MUSIC - TONY DESARE, "(I'D
HAVE IT ALL) IF I HAD DREW"]

I'm just a guy, I'm not a king.

I don't need riches,
don't need a thing.

I'd have it all if I had Drew.

I'll never be the Wall
Street type, work all day

and have no life, cause I'd
have it all if I had Drew.

I dream of everything
my life could be.

With Drew on my mind,
I could toss fate

aside laughing through
even the hardest rainfall.

Honestly, I must confess,
I don't crave much.

I could care less.

'Cause I'd have it
all if I had Drew.

Yeah, I'm-- I'm just like,
[munching sounds],, like I have

a corn-on-the-cob of happiness.

[laughs] You have a
corn-on-the-cob of happiness?

Yeah.

It's like the type-- the
corn-on-the-cob typewriter.

That's a big corn-of-cob.

You've been eating
it for a while.

Yeah, yeah.

BRIAN HERZLINGER: [laughs]

It means like
something is just

so good that you have to eat
it like a corn-on-the-cob.

That's unbelievable.

I swear, they have
nothing to do with us.

- [laughs]
- [burp] There you go.

The reason why I'm OK right
now is because these guys are--

they're like my closest friends.

So it's like-- it's just
like we're like at a bachelor

party or something
and they're carrying

video cameras, filming it.

- And I'm the stripper.
- And you--

[laughter]

[MUSIC - TONY
DESARE, "(I'D HAVE IT

ALL) IF I HAD DREW"]
I dream of everything

my new life could be.

With Drew on my
mind, I could toss

fate aside, laughing through
even the hardest rainfall.

Honestly, I must confess,
I don't crave much.

I could care less.

'Cause I'd have it
all if i had Drew.

You can keep your villa
in the south of France.

You can keep your
Abercrombie underpants.

So I'd have it all,
I'd have it all,

I'd have it all if I had Drew.

This is so awesome.

You're terrific.

You're everything
I thought you'd be.
