Clip 1

Natalie's Mom is a realist. Natalie's favourite movie is Pretty Woman but she doesn't want her daughter getting any false hopes about life being like it was for Vivian Ward.

Natalie's Mom

Forget about men. Forget about love. In real life, girls like us don't get that.

Young Natalie

Why?

Natalie's Mom

Well look in the mirror, Darl... we're no Julia Roberts.

Young Natalie

We're not?

Natalie's Mom

That woman has got a million dollar smile. She's got a gorgeous mane of hair. Okay, she might not have to bleach her moustache but she hasn't even got room for a moustache. She's got a tiny little space here. They'll never make a movie about girls like us and you know why?

Young Natalie

Why?

Natalie's Mom

Because it would be so sad they'd have to sprinkle Prozac on the popcorn or people would kill themselves!

Clip 2

And years later, her mother's warnings about the lies of romantic comedies have stuck with Natalie. She's cynical and jaded and she has to try to put Whitney right.

Whitney

It's a romantic comedy. They're the best. I mean, life can be so sad. I try to wake up smiling then I turn on the news and I'm like...

[Frowns]

... and then I turn on Sweet Home Alabama and I'm like...

[Smiles]

... I mean, have you seen that movie? It's literally a masterpiece.

Natalie

Masterpiece of sh*t! Whitney, all those movies are lies set to terrible pop songs.

Whitney

I love those songs and those movies are not lies.

Natalie

Yes, they are. People waking up in bed with full hair and makeup? It's so unrealistic. Every time someone puts on a pair of pants it turns into a whole montage.

Whitney

Yeah, 'cos trying on clothes is fun.

Natalie

For you! Okay, what about how there's always, like, some main chick and she's super clumsy and she's always like...

[Feigns colliding with the office chair]

"whoops!" and everyone goes, "She's so charming!" No! In real life, people'd think she had Muscular Dystrophy.

Clip 3

You know how in PG-13 movies, curse words are always referred to by their first letters or masked by other sounds? Yeah. That's what's happening here courtesy of a reversing truck.

Natalie

I think I'm trapped in a... [BEEP BEEP]. My life has become a [BEEP BEEP] C'MON! What did I do to deserve this? My life's become a [BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP] romantic comedy!

[The BACKGROUND ARTISTS begin dancing in a highly choreographed and clichéd fashion]

A [BEEP] PG-13!

Clip 4

Desperate to return to her former hum-drum life, Natalie decides to step out in front of a subway train. But she's prevented from committing suicide by a handsome transit cop.

Natalie

Officer Hansom? I didn't wanna be saved.

Officer Hansom

I'm not saving you. I'm arresting you.

Natalie

What for?

Officer Hansom

Jumping the turnstile.

[He handcuffs NATALIE behind her back]

Let's go.

Natalie

My hands are right on your junk!

Clip 5

Natalie has been invited to a soirée in The Hamptons. Sea food is in abundance. Rich ladies are dining on lobster and crab. It's innuendo time!

Josh

You know what's funny?

Natalie

The fact that all those rich ladies have crabs?

Clip 6

Natalie has tried to stop Josh marrying Isabella. But then she realises that she actually loves... herself. And it all suddenly makes sense. In a typically romantic comedy kind of way.

Natalie

Okay, I'm just gonna go.

Josh

Just to be clear you're not still stopping the wedding?

Natalie

No, just go... carry on. You guys... um, yeah... do your thing. I'm gonna do me. Good luck with everything. I don't have high hopes for what's going on there... Josh and Izz. What's their couple name gonna be? Jizz?! LOVE! It's crazy, right?

Clip 7

Now that everything is back to normal and Natalie has learned some valuable life lessons, certain things have to change. Whitney watching movies in work time, for example.

Whitney

What happened? Are you okay?

Natalie

I'm actually the best I've ever been. But please... 'kay, you need to promise me that we will never ever fight again.

Whitney

What? We would never fight. Mostly because you let me watch movies all day.

Natalie

Well, about that... I was thinking that we cut back on the movies.

Whitney

You're right. Totally right. I can stop. Whenever I want. They're not important to me. Um, how about one a day?

Natalie

How about none a week?

Whitney

Okay. Tough but fair.

Natalie

Yeah. Like my leg hair!

Whitney

[Laughs]
