Breckin Meyer-24
Peter Facinelli-24
Ethan Embry-19
Charlie Korsomo-19
Which of you guys had the most dates in high school?
BRECKIN: I was a loser in high school.
Ethan: Wasn't everybody a loser in high school?
Seth: We were either losers or jerks.
Peter: Let's put it this way. When I look at pictures of myself I automatically think, Gawd, I was such a loser!
You really expect us to believe that?
Peter: It's the truth.
Ethan: He really is a loser.Brekin: We're all losers to some degree. So, I guess getting dates in high school was kinda tough, eh?
Seth: I didn't have many.
Charlie: It might have been tough if I could have gotten a girl to even speak to me.
Seth: For me, it was all about having a lot of meaningless sex.
Everyone: (Laughs.)
Ethan: Yeah, right Seth.
BRECKIN: I had serious relationships in high school-I mean not like marriage, but, ya know serious enough that I still remember them.
Charlie: Well okay, my high school experiences can be summed up sort of like this: Before a movie starts on, say HBO, they give you a rundown of what you're gonna see, like strong language, violence and all that. Well mine could be summed up as: strong sexual content and brief nudity.
Ethan: What the heck is he talking about?
How old were you when you went on your first date?
Peter: I didn't go on a date until I had a car. I mean, I wasn't about to make a girl get on my bike or anything.
Seth: I was sperm. No seriously, I started dating very young maybe I was seven. (Laughter)
BRECKIN: Seth is such a ladies' man.
Do you think guys should do the asking?
Charlie: Yeah, I never went to any school dances because of that.
BRECKIN: I've only been to one school dance in my life.Ethan: I don't dance.
Peter: I went to two proms.Did you ask her to go?Peter: Well, no.
Charlie: Actually, I did ask a girl to a dance once, but she asked me to ask her because she didn't want to go with this other guy.
Peter: I don't think you ever say, "Hey, do you wanna go on a date?" You say "Hey, do you wanna go see a movie or something?"
Seth: Or, "Hey, my parents are away, and uh..."
Ethan: Yeah and they have a waterbed.Everyone: (laughs)
BRECKIN: I bet girls felt really safe with you, Ethan!
Seth: Like your one to talk, Breckin. Breckin used to sleep in a coffin instead of a bed for, like, four years.
BRECKIN: But I don't anymore. I'm in a serious relationship now.
Peter: But Seth dates.SETH: No, I don't.
BRECKIN: Seth doesn't date, I should know, I'm his best friend.
Peter: Seth does too date. Remember, he had a girlfriend? I swear he had one once.
Seth: Don't believe them their lying.
What would you do if a girl walked up to you today and asked you out?
Peter: Usually only gay guys ask me out.
Charlie: I don't run into that problem all that often.
Seth: Me either. Usually it's just gay guys asking me for Peter's phone number.
Do you think girls should ask guys out?
Seth: I don't think it's a bad thing. In fact, it's important for girls to be smart and self respecting.
Ethan: Exactly. Girls should have more of a say in it because then, hopefully, they'll make better choices. I mean, you've got an older guy with a car liking a 15-year old, you gotta question what's going on.
Seth: We're talking Jerry Springer here.
Ethan: Yeah, and then you have the older brother-me-jumping up out of the audience running on stage and punching the son of a bitch in the face!
Which one of you is the most romantic of the bunch?
Peter: I just have to say we, meaning all of us here who by the way happen to be really, really tight friends-are the exception to a lot of guys out there. We are. I have to say, we are not, like, slimy. There are a lot of skuzzy guys out there who are out because they're after sex.
How's a girl supposed to know the difference?
BRECKIN: Look for the guy who doesn't try to talk you into doing something your don't want to do.
Ethan: Yeah, the guy who refused to make love to you for the first six months. I didn't make love to my girlfriend for the first eight months we were dating each other.
Peter: You know what else? When you start dating someone, the guy should be Mr. Romantic - the kind of guy who would put down a coat so you don't have to walk to walk in the puddle.
Everybody: (Laughs)
Peter: No, no. Go with me here, guys. You know what I'm talking about.
BRECKIN: Hey, we've all done the coat thing. Seriously, we talk gross and we're pretty crass but we're all pretty romantic. Really we are!
Charlie: There are guys out there who do things a hundred times worse than anything we'd even joke about.
BRECKIN: Seriously, you'd be amazed. We were kind of going for broke for a while trying to compete with each other to see who could do the most romantic thing for our girlfriends.
Seth: Yeah! Valentines day was intense.
Ethan: We are nice guys! We are nice guys.Who taught you to be such good guys?
Everybody: Our mothers.
Ethan: And our messed-up fathers.
Seth: Don't listen to him. Ethan has issues.
BRECKIN: I don't think you learn how to do it. I think it's just instinctive.
Peter: Yeah, like when you meet up with the right girl, you just know.
BRECKIN: Uh,huh. And then you start doing stuff like, you'll be out shopping with her and she says, "Oh, I love that," and then later you go back (to the store) and you buy it. Little things like that.
Peter: I think it's also about maturity. I mean, when you're young and you're trying to hook up with every girl in sight, you're just using and abusing people.
BRECKIN: Hey, speak for yourself, man.
Charlie: Boy, I sure didn't live that kind of life when I was younger.
Peter: Hey, I'm not saying you guys, just, you know, a friend of a friend, told me that uh.... But seriously, something happens when you finally fall in love and you realize that dating a bunch of different girls is just not worth it.
Now that you're older and wiser, how do you approach dating?
Peter: Dating is a weeding-out process.
BRECKIN: I think it can be fun to be single and date-like when you don't want a relationship. Or when you've jsut gotten out of a relationship, and, after get over the initial shock, your thinking, Hey, it's kind of cool being single. But it you're in a place where you're like, God, I just want to be with someone who gets me. Just one person. Then dating is horrible. Because it really is a weeding out process, and you hate it.
Seth: Yeah, but if you're walking around with the goal of: Gawd, I gotta find someone...
Peter: You're never gonna find someone.
Seth: You gotta be comfortable with yourself and happy with yourself and know that it's okay to be by yourself before you can even be approachable.
BRECKIN: Yeah, I think that's it.
Peter: You definitely have to have respect for yourself first before you can actually move out of dating and into a good relationship.
And how does that happen?
Ethan: Solitude.Charlie: You gotta break up.
Peter: He means you have to have your heart broken a couple of times before you're ready for a relationship.
Ethan: Yeah, and the first time you feel it-meaning the first time you fall in love-don't let it run away with you because that ain't love.
Seth: See, that's the really crazy thing with relationships these days. You've got these 17-year-old guys running off and getting married.
BRECKIN: That's so crazy.
Peter: Some people really take that first love way too seriously.
Seth: Yeah, I don't want to point the finger at anyone (Maculay Culkin). I'm just saying if someone is going to run off and get married at 17, it's probably because he's had some pretty traumatic experiences early on in his life. Maybe there's some freaking dysfunctional thing going on or an overbearing dad.
Charlie: Girls need to have something else going on besides guys. I think that's half the problem. The girls I meet at college (MIT) have nothing else to do, so if you go out with them, all of a sudden you're with them 24/7 and you're absolutely smothered.
Seth: And they leave notes on your door like: I had a great time last night. Can we have breakfast?
Charlie: I want someone to say to me, "I've got somewhere else to be. I've got a life."
Peter: But that's not what happens. A lot of times we latch on to other people because we don't want to be alone. Because we can't stand to be alone.
Seth: That's why it's important when you do go from dating someone to getting serious with them, you maintain your individuality. As much as you want to start living for the other person and doing everything you can to make that other person happy, you have to maintain some independence, because when that person runs off or things go bad, you gotta be okay with that.
