Anna's version:
[it is BOSTON]
Baby Jimmy Fallon: I'm all alone in Boston and don't have any friends!
His Uncle: Let's go to Fenway Park, kid! There, I will craft you into a Red Sox Fan, the most pathetic creature in the world.
[he is MESMERIZED by the GREEN MONSTER]
Baby Jimmy Fallon: My life has changed forever. As a man, I shall have an apartment filled only with Red Sox paraphernalia.
[MANY YEARS later]
Drew Barrymore: I am so busy at my busy career-lady career that has something unspecified to do with math! So busy that I only have time to talk with my gal pals while we are doing a semi-trendy workout!
Ione Skye: Let's talk about your love life whilst in a spinning class!
Marissa Jaret Winokur: I am the fat friend! But I am also in spinning class!
Drew Barrymore: I'm just so BUSY! With WORKING!
[Jimmy Fallon brings a FIELD TRIP to her WORK and is CHARMINGLY RUMPLED]
Drew Barrymore: Oh my! He is a schoolteacher, which is a shameful, shameful career! But he is so adorable.
[they arrange a DATE and she BARFS everywhere]
Jimmy Fallon: Don't worry, woman I just met! I will clean your house and brush your dog's teeth, because that is a real thing that real human men do.
Drew Barrymore: Consider my pants charmed off!
Drew Barrymore's Friends: He is adorable, even though he is [sigh] lower-middle class.
Drew Barrymore's Friends' Boyfriends: TAKE US TO A RED SOX GAME. We know you have amazing season tickets.
[they DATE and are all CUTE and SHIT]
Drew Barrymore: Do you want to meet my parents?
Jimmy Fallon: No, I have to go to Red Sox Spring Training. I really - and I mean really - love the Red Sox.
Drew Barrymore: Oh, that sounds fun and innocuous.
[she sees him on the NEWS acting a FOOL with his BOYS, which include a BALD ANESTHESIOLOGIST]
Drew Barrymore: Oh my - perhaps this Red Sox thing is more than I thought it was.
[she INTERRUPTS him forcing his friends to DANCE for tickets to the YANKEE game]
Drew Barrymore: Yes, I am definitely in over my head. But we will work it out!
[for a WHILE, they DO, but then she gets BEANED by a FOUL BALL]
Drew Barrymore: You love foul balls more than you love me!
Jimmy Fallon: No!! I like you so much that I will skip a Red Sox game to go to a party with you.
[it is the BEST GAME EVER IN LIFE]
Jimmy Fallon: Noooooooooooo! What have I doooooooooooone!!
Drew Barrymore: You're dumping me for the Red Sox? WTF.
[they are SAD for a while]
Jimmy Fallon: What have I done NOW? I'm so conflicted!
Kid on his baseball team: You love the Red Sox, but have they ever loved you back?*
Jimmy Fallon: Now I have had an epiphany due to this child giving me relationship advice and life lessons! I will get her back!!!
Drew Barrymore: No, you won't. Leave me alone, I'm going out with my friends to celebrate my promotion at my fancy career!
Jimmy Fallon: Fine!!! Then I will sell my precious season tickets I inherited from my uncle, for they only remind me of you!!
Drew Barrymore's Bitchy Friend: My husband is buying your boyfriend's season tickets for $125,000!
Marissa Jaret Winokur: Are you that rich?*
DBBF: Uh, yeah.*
MJW: Then why don't you dress better?*
Drew Barrymore: Oh no! He's selling his season tickets for me! I must stop him! But as previously explained in this movie, he is a Luddite who does not have a cell phone for some reason, so I cannot reach him!
[she goes to FENWAY and buys a ticket from a SCALPER and LITERALLY RUNS across the field to get to him, because EVERYONE KNOWS you can only regain a LOST LOVE through RUNNING]
Drew Barrymore: Stoooooooooooop! I love you again, though I have no real reason to!
Jimmy Fallon: Uh...okay.
[the Red Sox WIN a THING and the CURSE is OVER]
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laura McClain's version comes with this disclaimer: I liked this movie when I first saw it, but after dating a Cubs-loving man-child, I have become somewhat hostile. Take with a large grain of salt and call me in the morning.
[it is BOSTON]
Heavily-accented Voiceover: Once there was a lonely little boy named Ben. He had no friends and a deadbeat dad, so his scary uncle took him to Fenway Park. Thus his fate was decided.
Little Fallon: I love the Red Sox!
[it is the PRESENT]
Jimmy Fallon: Hi there. My math students would like to meet you and learn about what you do. Also, I am wearing a hoodie with a skinny tie and drive a VW Bug. Aren’t I charming?
Drew Barrymore: Hello. I am a big important math executive.
[the audience GIGGLES]
Jimmy Fallon: So you’re pretty hot. Want to go out with me some time?
[she REJECTS him because he is a SCHOOLTEACHER, and thusly POOR and UNAMBITIOUS]
Her Yuppie Friends: Your boyfriends are usually slick douchebags. Try going out with a peasant for once.
[they HAVE a DATE but she BARFS all night from FOOD POISONING]
Drew Barrymore: You cleaned my pukey bathroom and rented “Road House” for me. You have proven that you are a good man.
[they DATE all over BOSTON and it is actually CUTE and CHARMING]
Jimmy Fallon: I like you so much, but I have a terrible, terrible secret to reveal. I am a rabid Red Sox fan.
Drew Barrymore: Oh. No biggie. I’m sure it’s not that intense.
[she SEES him on TV at SPRING TRAINING and is HORRIFIED by his MAN-CHILD antics]
Jimmy Fallon: Come watch the games with me! Every fucking day! We’ll eat hot dogs and drink beer and I will whine when you refuse to take off work for me.
[she gets HIT in the HEAD by a FOUL BALL]
Drew Barrymore: Yeah…I think I need a break from the endless baseball and quirky supporting cast.
Jimmy Fallon: WHINE! WHIIIIIIIINE!
Drew Barrymore: But let’s go to Paris together on a business trip! Remember, I’m a big math executive?
Jimmy Fallon: Shit. I might miss some sort of day game. Sorry.
Drew Barrymore: You jag. Also, I think I’m pregnant.
[she GOES to PARIS and Jimmy Fallon THINKS real HARD, and then BUYS a Red Sox ONESIE, PROVING that he will be a GOOD dad, or maybe just a dad with MISPLACED PRIORITIES]
Drew Barrymore: Got my period!
Jimmy Fallon: WHINE.
[they GO to a PARTY and it is ROMANTIC, though the SCENE is WEIRDLY long]
Jimmy Fallon: This is the best night of my life! I’m glad I skipped the game for the first time ever.
Douchey Friend: WE WON! I’m on the street and there are topless chicks everywhere!
Jimmy Fallon: NOOOOO! I will take my rage out on Drew.
Drew Barrymore: Get out, you bastard. Take your hoodie with you.
[Jimmy Fallon gets DEPRESSED and WATCHES old RED SOX games, cause he is a GIANT LOSER]
Jimmy Fallon: So, math student, don’t you think I was right? My love of a fucking baseball team SHOULD override all of my real-life relationships.
Wise Child: You love the Red Sox….but have they ever loved you back?*
Jimmy Fallon: OMG. I’m a total douche.
Drew’s Friend: So my husband is buying your ex-boyfriend’s season tickets for a hundred grand.
Marissa Jaret Winokur: Are you guys that rich?*
Drew’s Friend: Yeah.
Marissa Jaret Winokur: Why don’t you dress better?*
Drew Barrymore: I have to stop him! He DOES love me!
[she goes to FENWAY and BUYS a TICKET and then RUNS across the ENTIRE FIELD to get to Jimmy]
Drew Barrymore: Don’t sell your tickets! This one gesture totally cancels out the fact that you were a terrible boyfriend! I HAVE been too rigid!
Jimmy Fallon: Awesome!
[they HAUL her AWAY, but then RELEASE her and the Red Sox WIN the GODDAMN PENNANT because of their LOVE or SOMETHING]
