Employée dans une maison d'édition new-yorkaise, Lucy Hutton partage son bureau avec son collègue Joshua Templeton. Si Lucy est un rien désordonnée et maladroite, Joshua, lui, est un homme organisé et psychorigide. Pour tous les deux, cette proximité quotidienne est un véritable supplice et, au sein de l'entreprise, leur mésentente est de notoriété publique. Lorsqu'ils se retrouvent en concurrence pour un même poste, Lucy et Joshua sont prêts à tous les coups bas pour décrocher cette promotion. Bien malgré elle, Lucy ne peut cependant pas s'empêcher de ressentir de l'attirance pour son impitoyable rival.

00:00I'm trapped here, day after endless day, with my one maniacal nemesis.
00:08Four complaints this week, four.
00:10This is a period. When you take a period and put...
00:12You're gonna put that donut hole away or I'm gonna shove it up your...
00:15You two are the worst part of my job.
00:20We're gonna be hiring a managing director. We'll oversee each department.
00:24The job is mine, shortcake.
00:26If you get the job, I'll resign. Just like you will if I do.
00:29Ah, but I'm incapable of giving you that pleasure.
00:31It's not the first time you've said that to a woman, is it?
00:34Are you and me, like, there's a vibe there?
00:39I hate him with a passion.
00:46Son of a...
00:48Wowzers, what's the occasion?
00:51Psychological warfare.
00:52I wonder what it's like to use raw animal magnetism as a weapon.
00:56I had some weird dreams last night.
00:58I was in bed, naked.
01:01I have a theory.
01:04What are we doing?
01:05This game that we play every day.
01:07Hating someone feels disturbingly like falling in love with them.
01:17Let's play a different game. A starting over game.
01:20Why?
01:21I don't want to be some experiment before you settle down.
01:26We are competing for the same job.
01:28It's impossible to trust each other.
01:30I'm in this, and you can trust that.
01:34I told you she'd back off if you let her think that she can pet the pony.
01:38I don't need any help beating her.
01:40You will just do whatever it takes to win.
01:42Whatever this is, I don't want to do it anymore.
01:49I don't understand you.
01:51I thought you hated me.
01:52Never.
01:54So, what game should we play now?
02:00Lucy, when you first met Josh, what did you think?
02:02I thought he was cold and freakishly uptight.
02:05I thought Lucy was a spineless kiss-ass.
02:08It was hate at first sight.
02:23To be continued...
