(Back to the cafe. Willow seems to be swayed by Parker's argument)

PARKER: I don't mean this in a bragging way but I do get to know a lot of women.

WILLOW: Well, getting to know people is good.

PARKER: But I haven't found the one yet. I've yet to find the girl that I can just sit with. Feel totally at ease. Feeling whatever's on my mind. Or even sit with comfortably in silence. Willow, can I tell you something kinda private?

WILLOW: Okay, I mean I feel you've shown me a perspective I haven't really thought much about before. What was it you wanted to tell me?

PARKER: Just that I've enjoyed talking to you. Here. Tonight.

WILLOW: Me too. I mean, with you. You know, I'm wondering something. About you.

PARKER: What?

(she suddenly drops the act)

WILLOW: Just how gullible do you think I am? I mean with you gentle eyes and your shy smile and your ability to talk openly even to me! You're unbelievable!

PARKER: What?

WILLOW: This isn't sharing. This isn't connecting. It's the pleasure principle. That's right I got your number ID boy. The only thing you're thinking about is how long before you can jump my bones.

PARKER: Look, if you think that I'm...

WILLOW: I mean, you men. It's all about the sex! You find a woman, drag her to your den, do whatever's necessary just as long as you get the sex. I tell you men haven't changed since the dawn of time.

(The cavemen break in with the girls in tow)

WILLOW: You see?

(They knock Willow down and hit Parker with a stick.)
