SHE'S OUT OF MY LEAGUE script

TSA agent Kirk Kettner, despite low self-esteem and doubts from his friends and family, begins dating the sophisticated Molly McCall after meeting her at the airport. Their relationship is challenged by Molly's arrogant ex-boyfriend and Kirk's crude family, who believe Molly is out of his league, leading to a breakup after Kirk reacts poorly to her webbed toes. Convinced by his best friend Stainer to fight for Molly, Kirk crashes a charity event, publicly declares his love, and bids his inheritance to win her back. Kirk and Molly reconcile and solidify their unconventional but loving relationship at his brother Eric's NASCAR-themed wedding.

Dialogue examples

It's not that I... Okay, look... When I was a kid, we played a lot of baseball in my neighborhood. The worst part was picking teams because I was always picked last. Every time. Like they couldn't start a friggin' game without first establishing how much I sucked. So, now you come along and make me feel like the first pick. But... what if I can't hit?

Kirk Kettner / Scene 50

Don't start that shit now. You're looking at one lucky old broad who's done a lot - skydiving, rollerderby, colored fellas. I got no complaints. So when the check comes I don't want any blubbering or bullshit outta you. Just enjoy your life like I did mine and raise a glass to your old Grammy once in a while.

Grammy / Scene 7

Most of Stella's retirement home expenses were covered by her reverse mortgage. But, figure in thirty thousand still due to Arborwood Village. She racked up forty-seven thousand in medical bills. And my fee, of course, which now stands at two thousand and change - which is real reasonable, folks.

Mr. Fuller / Scene 26

She's got every right. I'd hate me too. I want to congratulate you, Poncho. You're the better man. Now, I'll step aside and truly wish you the best of luck. I wouldn't wish losing that girl on my worst foe. But, make no mistake, you blow it and I'll be waiting in wings. Love and war, right chief?

Talon / Scene 52

Those are the coolest guys in the entire world. Think about it - George Clooney or Derek Jeter would trade places with those guys in a second. Can you imagine the sheer magnitude of puss those fuckers tag? I'm gonna get 'em to sign my Hornet!

Stainer / Scene 50

Debbie, let me handle this. We've got a wedding to pay for, numbnuts, and you know Mom and Dad are going to Branson next month. Now you always been Grammy's favorite so we're counting on you to get in there and sort out what's what.

Eric / Scene 6

He is. He's wonderful. I know, I know - the blue eyes and the rock hard abs, right? But he's really so much more than that. A gallery in New York just opened an exhibit of his photography. He's a genius.

Molly McCall / Scene 30

So, here I think that the perfect Molly McCall is finally going to show me a good reason why she's messing around with the likes of me! And this is all you got!? You can't wear friggin' flip-flops!?

Kirk Kettner / Scene 54
