"Hey, Nat, someone keeps taking down my Roger Corman Film Festival posters." "It was me." "I figured four was enough." "Never enough!" "Come on, I'm doing this for course credit in Film Theory, and promotion counts." "Not to mention the king himself, the pope of pulp is coming here to bless the event." "Oh." "Excuse me if I don't kiss his ring." "What's the matter?" "Too lowbrow for you." "Check out some of these movies..." "look at this." "Machine Gun Kelly, Swamp Woman." "The Undead." "Very impressive, Steve." "Everybody's a critic." "Hotel stationery." "Let me guess, your father." "He's coming in tomorrow." "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" " I just got the letter today." " Typical." "What are you going to do about it?" "I don't know." "He wants me to meet him at the airport." "Probably so he'll have someone to talk to during his layover." "That's not it." "He's coming here to stay." "For how long?" "He says he's moving here." "And you believe him?" "Why shouldn't I?" "Let me see..." "I could give you 21 years of reasons." "Why are you always this way when it comes to him?" "Because he's done nothing but disappoint you since the day you were born." "That is not true." "Honey, you have always worn rose-colored glasses when it comes to your father." "I just don't want you to be hurt again." "Mom, he came to my graduation." "I didn't even ask him." "Well, when you have such low expectations," "I guess any crumb is a meal." "He's taken good care of me." "And let's face it, you haven't exactly been the model mother or wife." "Well, if you mean by "taking good care of you,"" "that you always had plenty of money, fine." "Just don't come crying to me when he breaks your heart again." "Excuse me." "Hi, is Bill Taylor's plane in yet?" " It just landed." " Oh, great." "You can meet him outside if you like." "Thanks." "Daddy!" "Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly!" "Hello!" "Hi." "Oh, you look great." "No, you look great." "How's my favorite girl, huh?" "Happy her dad's back." "Ah." "Oh, uh, thanks, Dave." "See the rest of my stuff gets back to the hotel." "I'm going with my daughter." "So, how's school?" "Good." "Studying psychology, huh?" "Yeah." "Well, you've got a whole family of lunatics to draw on." "God, it is so good to see you, honey." "I've missed you very much." "Me, too." "What did you think of my letter?" "That depends." "Did you mean it?" "Which part?" "The part about staying here in L.A." "Yes, I did." "I..." "It's about time we got to know each other again." "So... what do you say?" "I say, welcome back, Dad." "It's good to be home, honey." "Donna..." "Joe, what happened?" "My ankle swelled up on me last night." "It does this every once in a while since I hurt it in high school." "It's nothing." "I just need to ice it for a few hours." "Are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah, if the swelling doesn't go down by tomorrow," "I'll go get it checked out by the team doctor." "Don't worry." "Thanks." "Ah, greetings, "B" movie aficionados." "Steve, you look way too happy." "Well, I got a call from Roger Corman himself." "He's sending over one more special film for me to see." "How'd you guys like to screen it with me tonight?" "Count me in." " Yeah?" " Mm-hmm." "What do you say, Keats?" "You know what they say, nothing like a little mayhem and murder on a double date." "And don't forget the cheesy sex." "Is that cheesy sex or sex with cheese?" "Oh... oh!" " Well, how about both?" " Aw!" "Be right back." " Kel." " Hi." "Hi." "Oh, Lord." "I completely forgot this was in my purse." "What are you doing with that?" "It's evidence." "Valerie gave it to me." "Although I haven't gotten around to confronting the guilty party." "Colin?" "Yeah." "Well, do yourself a favor and don't walk around with it in your purse." "Unless you want to find yourself accidentally in jail." "Good idea." "So, I heard your dad's coming into town, huh?" "Yeah, yeah, he flew in this morning." "We're going to get together tonight." "Is that good or bad?" "I don't know." "I could be on a disaster course, or I could be getting back the parent" "I've been missing all these years." "Well, let's hope for the latter." "Yeah." "You all did a great job today." "Especially for beginners." "You know, just like when we were little kids, we'd pick up a crayon almost every day." "Remember that?" "Hmm?" "Well, in this class we're going to recapture that natural instinct we all have for art." "All right, that's it." "We'll see you next time." "This class is more popular than I thought." "I got the last spot in it." "I can't believe so many people signed up." "Must make you feel good." "Yeah, it does." "How are you feeling these days?" "Great, great." "I've been working out at the gym every day, painting every night." "It's been great." "New Year's resolutions?" "Yeah, something like that." "Well, I'm glad you're cleaning your act up." "I was worried about you." "I know, I know." "I appreciate it." "But believe me, I've got everything under control." "Even Kelly?" "That may take a little longer." "Still hurt?" "At this point, you could take a sledgehammer to my ankle and I wouldn't feel it." "I think the ice can come off now." "No, no, sit." "Whatever you need, I'll get it." "I have to use the bathroom." "That you're gonna have to do by yourself." "Right." "Ow!" "Damn!" "I think I better go see that doctor tomorrow." "Yeah, good idea." "Okay, here we go." "A bona fide selection from Roger Corman's own video vault." "It's called Unholy Rollers." "Oh, man, tell me this isn't about a sex-starved minister." "Or about a sex-crazed guy who invented the wheel." "Guys, Corman films are much more complex than that." "Mm-hmm." "This one's about a sex-crazed girl who joins the ruthless world of roller derby." "See?" "Definitely complex." "Here we go." "Unholy Rollers starring, Claudia Jennings." "Great actress." "Died very young." "Louis Quinn, Betty Anne Rees, Roberta Collins, Nat Benson..." "Nat Benson?" "That name sounds familiar." "Yeah, I think he was Mr. America, 1972." "Seldom right and wrong again, Steve." "I do believe that that was Nat's stage name." "Our Nat?" " Yeah." " No, no." "Fast forward." "No way, he was in this film." "He could've been; he was an actor in the early '70s." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, press play." "Oh, my God." "It's him!" "I don't believe it." "This is great, this is great!" "Not only do I have Roger Corman coming, but I got Nat Benson..." "a bona fide cult film star." "Who didn't mention a word of this while you were hanging posters all week in the Peach Pit." "Yeah." "Curious, huh?" "Maybe he's shy." "Nat?" "Shy?" "Maybe he's, like, trying to hide something." "Yeah." "Like his performance." "Nice shirt." "Hey, honey, you're a good driver." "Thank you." "I remember trying to teach your mother how to drive a stick shift." "Biggest mistake I ever made..." "we fought the whole time." "You guys fought all the time." "No, actually, we didn't." "Only, uh, 23 hours a day." "It must have been hard on you living with her when she was doing drugs." "Your mother wasn't using anything I didn't use." "In those days, we all got drunk or high on whatever was around, whenever we could." "It's sex, drugs and rock and roll!" "Boy, were we stupid." "When did you stop?" "When I left your mother, I had no choice." "She wasn't around to pick up the pieces for me anymore." "Well, the day you left, she went on a 15-year bender." "Yeah, I know." "I'm sorry you had to live through that." "Me, too." "I always thought that you would come back and rescue me, but you never did." "There was a reason for that, Kel." "What?" "I always thought that if I came and took you away from your mother, that that would have been the end of her." "You're probably right." "You know..." "I wouldn't mind seeing Jackie." "You think she'd put up with us for dinner one of these nights, huh?" "I think I could arrange that." "Oh, good!" "Good girl." "So, what's Colin got lined up for tomorrow, finger painting?" "He's just trying to unlock our innocent," " creative instincts." " Uh-huh." "So, how's his not-so-innocent nose problem?" "He says he's been clean since New Year's." "Yeah, well, let's hope he's on the level for Kelly's sake." "Kelly can take care of herself." "I'm not so sure about that." "She's made some pretty dubious choices in the boyfriend department." "Well, she got pretty serious about Brandon." "I hardly call him a dubious choice." "That's true, but she also dumped him." "Good point." "I hear her father's in town." "What's he like?" "I don't really know." "I wasn't friends with Kelly growing up." "I shook his hand once, at the high school graduation, but, uh, he hasn't made any appearances since then." "It's no wonder she goes for the unreliable type... it's what she's used to." "Thank you, Dr. Malone." "What do you think?" "Let's just be thankful you have other talents." "What?" "Here we are." "Home sweet home." "Ah, very nice!" "Hey, Kel." "Hi, Mr. Taylor." " Hi." " Ah, Donna, it's so good to see you again." "Yeah, you, too." "Can I make you some coffee?" "No, no, actually, I'd love some tea, if you have any." "Yeah, sure, no problem." "Uh, Kel, Colin's been calling you and calling you." "Okay, thanks." "Want to sit down?" "Yeah, yeah." "Uh..." "Colin?" "That's a name I haven't heard." "Let's keep it that way." "Come on, now, what did this guy do to deserve that?" "I don't really want to get into it." "Oh, come on, Kel, I'm your father." "Okay." "He broke a promise too many times." "Ah." "But you're in love with him?" "Yeah." "That's the problem." "That's always the problem, honey." "Being in love with someone who hurts you." "Well, actually... he's hurting himself." "He loves his cocaine more than he loves me." "I doubt that, but it's a very, uh, seductive mistress, I can attest to that." "I just don't want to deal with it, you know?" "Mm." "You know, honey, I always think that people deserve a second chance." "Of course a guy like me has to think like that, because I'm always asking for one." "Well, I am ready to give you a second chance... and a third chance and a fourth chance, a fifth chance..." "I'm glad you're here, Dad." "Yeah, me, too." "Condor." "Keats's office." "Yeah, is Susan there?" "No, she's not." "Can I take a message?" " Who's this?" " Brandon Walsh." "Walsh, it's, uh, Casten." "Isn't this auspicious." "I don't know, Jonathan, is it?" "So, how's Susan?" "You taking good care of her?" "Susan can take care of herself." "Oh, that's for sure." "Listen, do me a favor, um, tell Susan I'm gonna be in L.A." "a week from Friday, and I would really like to see her." "You bet, I'll be sure to pass that along." "I'll bet you will." "I'll see you soon." "Uh-huh." "Have a nice day." "Oh, man." "Hi." "What'd I miss?" "Nothing." "Picture this..." "Roger Corman comes in, gives a little intro on the making of Unholy Rollers." "He talks about the actors, where they are now." "Bang!" "You pop out on stage." "Direct from our very own Peach Pit..." "Sorry, no go." "Talk to him, Clare." "All right, Nat, think about it." "It's gonna be a full house at the club tonight." "Who knows, you might even jump- start the old acting career." "Plus, I was on the radio this morning." "I billed you as our special guest." "Don't make a liar out of me." "I'm flattered and I'm touched, but I won't do it." "Be reasonable." "I am being reasonable." "I left acting behind a long time ago, and I have no desire to reenter that world." "End of story." "So, um... what are you gonna do now?" "I'm gonna wear him down." " Hey, Kel." " Hey." " How's your dad?" " Good." "He's, uh, moving here." "What?" "After all these years?" "I know." "He says he's come full circle." "He's tired of life on the road." "Well, I'd like to say I'm happy for you, but after what my father's told me about him, uh," "I'd be careful if I were you." "Well, tell Mel to get used to him, because we are going house-hunting today." "Hey, guys." "You want anything?" "No." "No, thanks." "I got to go." "Well, I guess it was too much for Kelly to join us." "Aw, come on, she's meeting her father today..." "give her a break." "Why should I give her a break?" "She never gives me one." "Don't worry about the ankle, Joe." "We did an mri... it's fine." "Just take it easy for a couple of days." "Like, don't walk, you mean?" "No." "Like, don't run the stadium steps." "Now swing around." "Long as you're here, let me check everything else out." "So, how's life, Joe?" "You got a girlfriend?" "Yeah, couple of months, actually." "Oh, great, great." "Now, take a deep breath." "Breathe again." "Listen, Joe, you had a cold lately?" "No." "Well, it's probably nothing." "I just want you to do me a favor." "I want you to see a cardiologist." "Dr. Levin's a topnotch heart man right here on campus." "Unless you have someone else you prefer." "My girlfriend's father's a cardiologist." "Uh, Dr. John Martin?" "He's terrific." "Just get it checked out." "Is there something I should be worried about?" "No." "Just humor me and take care of it." "All right, Doc." "But if there's anything wrong with me, you lose your season tickets." "Oh, it's very nice." "Well, it's got it all." "Original peg-and- groove floors, that Malibu tile in the fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen with a six-burner restaurant stove and a griddle?" "Ha!" "Oh, for all those mornings I'll make you hotcakes." "You don't even know how to make toast." "I'll learn, I'll learn." "So, um... what do you think?" "Well, I am sold, but he is the one you have to convince." "Say the word," "I'll have that lease drawn up by tomorrow." "Well, Candace, since, uh, you put it that way... sign me up." "All right!" "Hey, Val, can I ask you for some advice?" "I'd be honored." "Actually, I was hoping to tap into your more devious side." "Well, in that case, I'm not honored, but ask anyway." "Okay." "I was in Susan's office, I answered the phone, and it was that Jonathan guy." "You should've hung up on him." "You're right, I should have." "But I didn't..." "I took a message." "But then I didn't give it to Susan." "And I'm gathering it was a message" " you didn't want her to get." " You could say that." "All right, well, this is a no-brainer." "You go in tomorrow morning, you write the message down on those little "while you were out" pads, and throw it on the mess on her desk, and eventually she'll find it." "That'll work." "Glad I could help." "Well, Kelly, I've enjoyed dinner, but, uh, how about this Colin?" "I'll give him the once-over, and maybe you'll do the right thing and give him a second chance, huh?" "We are in his neighborhood." "Oh, we are." "Well, what are we waiting for?" "Hi." "Kelly!" "I want you to meet my father." "Colin Robbins." "Welcome." "Oh, thanks." "Are-are we catching you at a bad time?" "No, no." "Actually, I can use the break." "Ah." "Uh, great loft." "Thanks, thanks." "You know, it's really a pleasure to meet you." "I've heard so much about you." "Same here." "I'd, I'd really like to take a look at your work." "Feel free." "Thanks." "Excuse me." "Thank you for coming." "Thank you for bringing your father." "I've missed you so much." "Thank you for being high." "Come on, Kelly." "I can see it in your eyes, Colin." "The holidays are over, and so are we." "Dad, let's go." "What's the big rush, honey?" "Colin's got to get back to his work." "Oh," "I like your style, Colin." "I try." "Trying doesn't cut it." "Ready?" "Mm-hmm." "Nice to meet you." "You, too." "Damn it!" "No, it's been busy as usual." "Where are you?" "I'm in Atlanta." "Yeah." "I'm here for the World Nudist Convention." "I bet you are." "Actually, I'm meeting Elton John for lunch." "You are not!" "Yeah, really." "I am." "He has an apartment here." "He's gonna give me a tour." "And how'd you do that?" "Ah, it must be my inimitable charm." "So did you get my message?" "No, what message?" "Oh, that figures." "What figures?" "Ask Walsh." "I called yesterday." "He didn't tell you?" "Uh, no, he didn't." "All right." "Well, I'm gonna be in a week from Friday, so tell Walsh you're busy next weekend, okay?" "I am busy... with him." "Yeah, we'll see about that." "Love you." "Bye." "Walsh, get in here!" "What?" "Why didn't you tell me Jonathan called yesterday?" "I did tell you." "No, you didn't." "Sure, I did." "I left a note right on your desk." "Although, how you can find anything in that mess..." "Where?" "Uh, how about right under your nose?" "Sorry." "So are you going to see him while he's here?" "I don't know." "I'll leave a message on your desk." "Brandon, wait." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "It's just you and Jonathan." "I thought maybe you, you forgot it on purpose." "It's all right." "No apology necessary." "Hey." "Hey." "So, what'd the doctor say?" "Well, you were right." "I just need to stay off it." "I told you." "Listen, what kind of doctor is your dad again?" "Cardiologist." "Why?" "It's Coach Lynch." "He's having some chest pain." "He needs to see a specialist." "I was wondering if your father would see him." "Yeah, sure." "Just have the coach call the office, and my dad will fit him in whenever." "Great." "Cool." "Hey, Nat, can I get a pot of coffee for my slaves next door?" "They're working really hard to get this festival off the ground." "Ask Willie." "You know, I know you said you wouldn't come tonight, but I really think you should reconsider." "No." "Why not?" "Is it Corman?" "Did he stiff you?" "That hasn't got anything to do with it." "Roger Corman's a great guy." "Then what was it?" "We saw the film." "You were very funny." "Thank you." "Hmm, this doesn't make any sense." "What happened?" "It's personal, and I don't want to talk about it, okay?" "Was it a woman?" "It was a woman!" "Okay, which one of the actresses was it?" "One of those roller derbettes, huh, huh?" "She wasn't in the picture." "Well, who is she?" "And what happened to her?" "Told you, I don't want to talk about it." "Okay, forget I asked." "Listen, you go have a good time, tonight." "Send my best to Roger Corman, okay?" "Uh, good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Roger Corman Film Festival, brought to you by your very own Steve Sanders!" "Well, as promised, the maestro is here himself to introduce our first selection." "Ladies and gentlemen, please, a warm welcome for the legendary Roger Corman." "Thanks, Steve." "I'm more than flattered that my work has been chosen for this event." "The movie tonight is a personal favorite of mine." "I hope you enjoy it." "Thanks, Roger." "Now let's watch the magic of these women on wheels in Roger Corman's Unholy Rollers." "Oh, yeah!" "All right, all right." "Damn Stern, cheapest guy in the world." "Got me doing 15 jobs around here on a guard's pay." "Too cheap to give me a helper." "Welcome, roller derby fans to Stern Stadium." "There's Nat." "Which one?" "The one on the left." "Oh, he's so cute." "I get a trophy every time I put someone in the hospital?" "We had this one made special." "Pardon me." "Wasn't Nat Benson supposed to be here tonight?" "I heard something on the radio." "Yes, he was." "Unfortunately, it didn't work out." "Oh, I was hoping I'd see him." "Do you know Nat Benson?" "I did a long time ago." "You don't say?" "How long has it been since you've seen him?" "Has to be about 25 years." "In fact, the last time I saw him was when he was making this picture." "Really?" "And how do you know him?" "Well, to tell you the truth, we were engaged." "Engaged to be married engaged?" " To Nat?" " You know Nat?" "Do I know Nat?" "What's your name?" "Joan." "Joan Diamond." "It's nice to meet you, Joan." "Come with me." "Let's take a little walk." "Nat, there's someone here to see you." "Nat?" "Joanie?" "What are you doing here?" "Looking for you." "Oh, my!" "Oh, God," "I can't believe it." "You haven't changed at all." "Oh, yeah, I have, a lot." "It's been such a long time." "I've been married and divorced." "I've got three kids." "And I'm a grandmother now, Nat." "That can't be possible." "A lot can happen in 25 years." "Well, it looks like you took over for your dad after all, huh?" "Yeah, I..." "Steve, aren't you busy next door?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I, uh, I didn't have much choice." "When he got sick, I had to just step up to the plate." "Well, sometimes life makes our choices for us." "Still, you were a good actor." "Very good." "Yeah, I came close a couple of times." "I had two great parts." "A lucky break, I wouldn't be slinging hash for a career." "Well, running a successful business seems like a pretty good career move to me." "You think so?" "Yeah, I do." "It's kind of nice to hear you say that." "I never thought I'd see you again." "Here you are." "You know, I've never forgotten you." "I can't say that there wasn't a part of me that always hoped that I'd look over that counter and see you walk through that door." "Well, here I am." "Here we are." "So, let's sit down." "Fill me in." "And tell me everything, would you?" "That could take all night." "You got other plans?" "I was going to watch that movie next door." "Oh, hell, I know the ending." "Come on." "I want to show you around and talk." "Well, thank you very much." "I'm really glad you could join us." "Shall I order a bottle of wine?" "No, not for me, thanks, but you go ahead." "How long's it been now, Jackie?" "I've been sober for five years now." "Well, I guess we all have to pull ourselves out of the fast lane eventually." "Is that why you're moving back to L.A.?" "Well, I, after 35 years, I think it's time to settle down." "Better late than never." "So where's this new house?" "Beverly Glen." "Our old neighborhood." "Really?" "That's where you spent the first years of your life." "I know." "Not that I remember any of it." "We had this precious little house in the canyon." "Which got hit by mudslides every year without fail." "I don't remember any of that." "I'm amazed we do." "It's just as well you don't remember, honey." "The high times on the Glen were a little too high, as I recall." "So how old is the baby now?" "She's not a baby anymore." "She's four years old." "And you and Mel?" "Just fine living together." "Very happily unmarried." "I'm glad you were able to turn your life around, Jackie." "It's great seeing you doing so well." "You know, I have to admit, Bill, that when Kelly told me you were coming back to town, I warned her about you." "Well, I guess I deserve that." "To my parents." "To our daughter." "Who hopefully will not make the same mistakes we did." "Amen." "What are you doing here?" "For all the money I spent on your education," "I find you in these lousy locker rooms!" "Val, can I talk to you for a minute?" "I'm a little busy." "This'll just take a minute." "Upstairs?" "I'll be right back." "Yeah." "Okay, I'm sorry." "But you think that the next time you come barging in here you could knock first?" "Okay, what's so important that it couldn't wait, at least till after the screening?" "I want my coke back." "Excuse me?" "The blow you took from me on New Year's." "I want it back." "I'm in the middle of a painting right now." "I really need it to finish." "Well, drink some coffee like the rest of us, Colin." "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing's wrong with me." "Nothing a few lines won't take care of." "Well, I don't have it anymore." "What?" "I said, I don't have it anymore." "Please tell me you threw it away." "No, I didn't throw it away." "I gave it to Kelly." "What do you mean you gave it to Kelly?" "I gave it to Kelly." "She didn't tell you?" "No, she didn't tell me!" "What are you thinking, Valerie?" "I can't believe you did this." "What can't you believe, Colin?" "That I gave your drugs to Kelly, or you don't have any more drugs to do?" "You should have heard them, Donna." "I don't think I've ever seen my parents get along that well." "I couldn't even get a word in edgewise after a while." "Well, your dad is charming." "I think it's more than that." "This sounds weird to say about your own dad, but..." "I think he finally grew up." "If that's Colin, tell him I'm not here, okay?" "Okay." "Hello?" "Hi, hang on." "It's Joe." "Oh, okay." "If my dad calls for me, tell him I'm on my way to the Beverly Glen house." "Okay." "Hey, you, I thought we had a study date this morning." "Yeah, I can't make it." "I'll see you on campus later?" "Yeah, sure." "Is everything okay?" "Yeah, just bad planning on my part." "I forgot I had an appointment." "Look, I got to run." "Okay." "I'll see you later." "Great." "Bye." "Excuse me, Joe." "Dr. Martin's going to be a little longer." "So I'll get you started with a chest X-ray, and then we'll run an echocardiogram, all right?" "Whatever you say." "All right, follow me." "What?" "Well, that's a friendly greeting." "What do you want, Valerie?" "Well, I thought I'd alert you to the fact that you're supposed to be teaching a class right now." "I'm taking a personal day." "Oh, is that what you call it?" "Sounds to me like you copped another gram." "I was up all night painting, all right?" "Well, I hope it was worth it." "You know what, it was." "It's fantastic." "Good for you." "Is this a blond thing?" "I mean, we did say 11:00, didn't we?" "Yeah, yeah, he should be here any minute." "Well, it's creeping up on noon, and I have another appointment." "My father's usually very prompt." "Could we just give him a few more minutes?" "I really can't." "Look, if you still want the house..." "Oh, we do." "We definitely do." " There's no question about that." " Good." "Then just call me, and we'll do this again tomorrow." "Great." "Just promise me you won't give it to anybody else." "I promise I won't." "I'll call you first." "Thanks, Candace." "Bye." "Bye." "Donna, I don't usually do this kind of thing, but, um, this morning, when I called you," "I wasn't exactly telling the truth." "What do you mean?" "Well, it wasn't just any appointment." "I was at your father's office." "With the coach?" "No." "By myself." "There's something wrong with my heart." "What?" "Why wouldn't you tell me?" "Because I didn't want you to worry." "Well, what's wrong?" "What did my dad say?" "Well, the team doctor heard something weird, and now your father thinks that I've got some kind of a congenital heart thing." "A defect." "Oh, my God." "I just got back from a meeting with the coach and the athletic director, and they want me to get a second opinion." "Yeah, you should." "I know my dad always recommends that." "Well, I hate to say this, Donna." "But I'm hoping the next guy will say your father was wrong." "Yeah, me, too." "I got to get going." "They made an appointment for me at the health center this afternoon." "Do you want me to go with you?" "Yeah, that'd be great." "Hi, I'd like to speak to Bill Taylor." "He's in room 1019." "Excuse me?" "He checked out?" "When?" "I see." "No." "No message." "Here you go." " Ah..." " Thanks." "So, Nat, how does it feel seeing a woman you love after 25 years?" "Sweet." "Really sweet." "That's it?" "That's all you're going to give us?" "All right." "I'll give you one more thing." "A great big kiss!" "I guess the film festival was a success." "It kind of changed my life." "Oh, that's great." "No, you two are great." "So I was thinking, next weekend maybe we should drive up to San Luis Obispo." "I love it up there this time of year." "Next weekend?" "Yeah." "Unless you're busy." "No, you mean, unless I have plans with Jonathan." "Do you have plans with Jonathan?" "No." "Good." "So where is San Luis Obispo, anyway?" "I have no idea." "Me neither." "Well, Joe." "I think we've got what we need here." "Am I gonna be okay?" "Yeah." "I'm glad to say you are." "You're just fine." "What about what Dr. Martin said?" "With all due respect, I have a differing opinion." "It's not uncommon in our specialty." "He said he didn't think I should play football." "That it might be dangerous." "I don't think you have to worry about that." "You're a healthy young man." "Sometimes even with the best that medical science has to offer, there are anomalies." "And I think that" "Dr. Martin's assessment of your condition is one of them." "So I can play ball?" "And do things I've always done?" "Till further notice." "Thanks, Doctor." "Man, am I glad I came to see you." "Well?" "I don't know how to say this." "What?" "Well, your father was..." "My father was what?" "Your father was wrong." "I'm fine." "What's the matter?" "I thought you'd be happy for me." "No, I am." "I'm just a little surprised." "I mean, my dad's a good doctor." "I know, but that's what second opinions are for, aren't they?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I guess so." "So be happy for me." "I am." "I..." "I am." "Excuse me." "Is Bill Taylor's plane still here?" "It took off ten minutes ago." "Is there something that I can do for you, Miss?" "Dear Kelly..." "I'm so sorry." "A great textile deal came along that I couldn't pass up." "I'm flying off to Milan." "Buy yourself a present and I'll call you in a couple of weeks." "Love, Dad." "Thanks, Dad."
