About this piece
Joy breaks up with Andy Details Beginning of the Film
Summary
In the very first scene of the film Joy Jordan (Jane Adams) breaks up with her boyfriend Andy Kornbluth (Jon Lovitz) while having dinner at a restaurant. At first cries as she tries to comfort him. After getting reassured he was the only man in her life, he gives her a gift, an expensive gold plated ashtray, only to take it away from her. He flips out on her... "Cause this is for the girl who loves me. The girl who cares about me for who I am. Not what I look like. I just want you to know what you'd be missing. You think I don't appreciate art? Do you think I don't undestand fashion? You think I'm not hip? You think I'm pathetic? A nerd? A lard-ass fatso? You think I'm shit? Well, you're wrong. Cause I'm champagne and you're shit. And until the day you, not me, will always be shit!"......
