Movie clip script:

ERIN:                  You want my number?

GEORGE:             I do. I do want your number.

ERIN:                  Which number do you want, George?

GEORGE:             George.  Now I like that way you say that. George. Oh, well… How many numbers you got?

ERIN:                  Oh, I got numbers coming out of my ears.  For instance, ten.

GEORGE:             Ten?

ERIN:                  Yeah.  That's how many months old my baby girl is.

GEORGE:             You got a little girl?

ERIN:                Yeah.  Yeah. Sexy, huh?  How about this for a number? Six. That's how old my other daughter is.  Eight is the age of my son.  Two is how many times I’ve been married and divorced.  Sixteen is the number of dollars I have in my bank account.  850-3943, that’s my phone number. And with all the other numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're going to call.
