IRENE P. WATERS (Renée Zellweger): But after high school, I moved to New York, ‘cause I had this thing…
HANK EVANS (Jim Carrey): Let me guess. Everybody in town told you you were easy on the eyes, so you decided to become a supermodel. And when you got to the Big Apple, they treated you like the worm. So you packed on a few pounds and started calling yourself an actress.
IRENE P. WATERS: Uh, no…
