Clip One:
Basic principles: no woman wakes up saying: God I hope I don't get swept off my feet today. Now she might say: this is really a bad time for me. Or something like: I just need some space. Or my personal favorite: I'm really into my career right now. you believe that? Neither does she. You know why? Because she's lying to you, that's why. You understand me? Lying.
It's not a bad time for her. She doesn't need any space. She maybe into her career. But what she's really saying: Get away from me now. Or possibly: try harder, stupid. Which one is it? 60% of all human communication is nonverbal---body language, 30% is your tone, so that means that 90% of what you're saying ain't coming out of your mouth. Of course she's gonna lie to you, she's nice person. She doesn't want to hurt your feelings. What else is she gonna say? She doesn't even know you yet.
Luckily the fact is that just like the rest of us, even a beautiful woman doesn't know what she wants until she sees it. And that's where I come in. my job is to open her eyes.
Basic principles: no matter what, no matter when, no matter who, any man has any chance to sweep any woman off her feet. Just needs the right broom.
1.sweep sb off their feet:
to make someone feel suddenly and strongly attracted to you in a romantic way,
把某人一下子迷住，使某人神魂颠倒
2． be into sth,
to like and be interested in something, 对某个人/某件事情很喜欢，着迷
From the clip: I'm really into my career right now. 我现在一心一意只想着工作
H: Hold on a second, Albert.
A: You know what’s like? Getting up every morning feeling hopeless? Feeling like the love of your life is waking up with the wrong man? But at the same time, hoping that she still finds happiness. Ever if it’s never gonna be with you?
H: you’re flat-out of your mind. You know that? That’s good.
A: it is?
H: you ever heard of Michelangelo?
A: Heard of the Sistine Chapel?
H: Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel

S: what’s your name?
C: they call me chip.
S: you can’t get them to stop?
C: that was funny.
S: Listen, I understand the courage it takes to walk across a room and try to generate a relationship out of thin air, so don’t take the following personally.

C: you’re welcome. So do you like Cuban food?
S: Seriously chip. That was not a code for, “I wish you’d try harder.”
C: are you always so shut-down and afraid that the right man might make you feel like a natural woman?

H: Look you will. Just give it time.
A: That’s just it, I don’t want to. I’ve waited my whole life to feel this miserable. If this is the only way I can stay connected with her, then this is who I have to be…
