"I'm not even gonna say it, Kate." "Maybe it'll be like I never left." "Wait!" "I have a really bad feeling about this." "About the plane?" "Do you think it's gonna crash?" "Don't say that." "I know we talked about this a thousand times and we agreed... that going to London was the right thing to do." "But in my heart, this feels wrong." "Don't go, Jack." "You mean, don't go at all?" "What about my internship?" "Believe me..." "I know what an incredible opportunity this is for you." "For us, Kate." "Right, for us." "But I'm afraid that if you get on that plane..." "Look, we're at the airport." "Nobody ever thinks clearly at the airport." "So, we should just trust the decision we already made." "You have been accepted to one of the best law schools in the country." "I've got this internship at Barclay's Bank." "We have a great plan." "You want to do something great, Jack?" "Let's flush the plan." "Let's start our lives right now, today." "I have no idea how it's going to be, but it'll have both of us in it." "And I choose us." "The plan doesn't make us great." "What we have together makes us great." "I love you, Kate." "I love you too." "And one year in London is not gonna change that." "A hundred years couldn't change that." "Last night was incredible." "I said last night was great." "You are an amazing lover." "Thanks." "You're not bad yourself." "I want to see you again." "I'd like that too." "Tonight." "It's Christmas Eve, Jack." "I'll pour eggnog over you." "I have to go visit my parents on Jersey." "Jersey?" "Do you have any idea what the traffic is going to be like?" "That's why I'm taking the train." "It was nice meeting you, Jack." "Mrs." "Peterson." "Hello, Jack." "You don't have to stop singing on my account." "No." "It's because I'm shy, Betty." "When you're going to leave that old corpse and run away with me?" "You know you can never satisfy me the way he does." "Merry Christmas, Mr. Campbell." "How did you make out this year?" "About four grand." "And a bottle of 25 year-old Scotch from 9-D." "I'll put it in papers like you said." "Just until the Deutsche Mark turns." "Thank you, Mr. Campbell." "All right." "Morning, Joe." "Merry Christmas, sir." "Campbell wants these available." "Thanks, Adelle." "Better you than me." "If Med Tech shares fall any lower than 43, we're in trouble." "So please watch what you say to your institutional customers." "We have a full day before zero hour, and I don't want any trouble." "A penny for your thoughts, Alan?" "I'm sorry, Jack." "I was thinking about..." "I promised Dee and the kids I'd be home for dinner." "It's Christmas Eve." "Oh, is that tonight?" "You think I like being here on Christmas Eve, Alan?" "No." "Well... maybe." "Maybe I do have a touch of tunnel vision this holiday season." "But in two days we will announce... one of the largest mergers in U.S. corporate history." "When a deal like this turns up, you ride it till it's over." "You don't ask for a vacation." "December 26." "After that it'll be like Christmas every day." "If you'd like to celebrate that day you all have my blessing." "Right." "I'm sorry." "I don't want you to be sorry..." "Be excited!" "I want you to open my gift first this year." "You know why?" "Because my gift comes with ten zeroes." "You're right." "I'm focused on there." "Good man." "Everybody turn to page 12 in your prospectus." "You have 6 messages, 2 imperative." "Are you nuts?" "I'm going home." "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "It's only 8:" "3O." "Got some last-minute shopping?" "You too?" "This holiday is about giving, Adelle." "I'm giving everything to this deal." "I'm more Christmasy than anybody." "You're my role model." "Oh, and Oxford called." "Oh, my suits are ready." "Care for a Lifesaver?" "No, thank you." "Help yourself." "Kate Reynolds?" "Her assistant said she'll be home." "Kate was my girlfriend in college." "I almost married her." "You?" "Married?" "Almost married." "And almost a broker at E.F. Hutton." "Excuse me?" "She didn't want me to go to London." "We were at the airport saying good-bye and she asked me to stay." "So you left her?" "It wasn't easy." "Stop it." "I'm getting all weepy." "I took the road less traveled." "And look where it took you." "I'm getting this gal on the phone." "No." "You almost married this woman." "You're not even curious?" "Probably a fit of nostalgia." "Lonely Christmas Eve, call the one that got away." "Why call her back and mislead her?" "This happened a very long time ago." "8:35 on Christmas Eve, Jack Campbell still at his desk." "There's a Hallmark moment for you." "I don't see you rushing home." "That's because I'm a heartless bastard who only cares about money." "You know what?" "God love you for that." "Got a call from Terry Haight." "Bob Thomas is nervous." "He'll spend $13O billion on aspirin." "Somebody has got to nurse him through this." "Why are you staring at my breasts?" "I need you, tiger." "Where is he?" "Aspen." "Call Aunt Irma and tell her I won't make it tomorrow." "You're a credit to capitalism!" "Let me ask you a question:" "An old girlfriend calls you on Christmas Eve." "What do you do?" "You having trouble getting dates?" "Yeah." "Leave it in the past." "Old flames are like old tax returns." "Put them in the file cabinet for three years, then cut them loose." "I'll leave tomorrow afternoon." "Call the group." "Schedule an emergency session for noon." "That will be a nice little holiday treat." "Good night, Frank." "Mr." "Campbell!" "Why didn't you call down?" "I would've gotten your ride." "I'm thinking I'll walk tonight." "It's a nice night for it." "I'll send your car home for you." "That'll be fine." "Merry Christmas to you, sir." "To you, too." "Eggnog?" "Dairy case." "Five dollars." "Yo, y'all do the Lotto here, right?" "Cool, 'cause I got a winner, baby." "Good as gold!" "Lotto keeps a lot of brothers down, but not Cash." "'Cause I "Bang!" on the Lotto." "Relax, son." "I got you four numbers." "Check it... 6, 14, 16, 49." "That's a winner, son." "US$ 238." "Give me my money." "I'm sorry." "Your ticket bad." "You draw in the lines." "What are you talking about?" "You draw in with a pencil." "Yo, check the ticket, son." "No, you get out!" "You ain't even looked at the ticket." "Get out now!" "Take the ticket somewhere else!" "Next customer!" "You get out or I call 911!" "Oh, my God!" "Check the ticket, stupid!" "Look at the ticket!" "I'm going to make you call God!" "You best check that ticket, fool!" "Let me see the ticket." "Was I talking to you?" "Maybe I'll buy it from you." "Make a little business." "White boy in a $2,OOO suit gets capped trying to be a hero." "Is that what you wanna see?" "You want Cash here to set you, son?" "Do you wanna die?" "Do you want to die?" "No." "Look, I'm talking about a business deal." "I buy the ticket from you for $2OO..." "I take it to a store where the attendent doesn't have a death wish." "I just made myself a quick $38." "Like I said, it's just a business deal." "All right." "Yeah." "All right." "You blew it." "The ticket was real." "Damn, you had your chance." "Come on, Jack." "Let's get out of here." "How did you know my name?" "I call all you guys Jack." "Here." "Nice doing business with you." "What do you want to carry a gun around for, anyway?" "You're going to wind up doing something you regret." "You're talking to the wrong person about regrets." "There must be programs out there and opportunities." "Wait a minute." "Are you actually trying to save me?" "This is bananas!" "This man thinks I need to be saved!" "Everybody needs something." "What do you need, Jack?" "Me?" "You just said, everybody needs something." "I got everything I need." "It must be great being you." "I'm not saying you'd be able to do it without honest, hard work." "And possibly some medicine." "I'm gonna really enjoy this." "You just remember that you did this." "You brought this on yourself." "Merry Christmas." "Ten more minutes, Jack." "It's Christmas." "Jingle bells, Santa smells Rudolph laid an egg!" "Never mind." "Who's here?" "Rise and shine!" "Don't you think we should open some presents?" "Let's go!" "Come on, Dad, get up!" "Can we do that?" "It's Christmas!" "It's Christmas!" "Your sister is jumping on the bed." "Let's go downstairs!" "What is this dog doing on the bed?" "Get him off." "Did Santa come?" "I don't know." "We'll have to go see." "Go see the presents!" "You want to get some presents?" "Mommy just needs to wake up." "Strong coffee." "Oh, Jack!" "Merry Christmas, dear." "Lorraine..." "Ed..." "You old dog, Merry Christmas!" "Talk to him, Jack." "One day a year away from the Ponderosa." "It's not asking too much." "This is who I am." "Tell her, Jack." "You're the only one here who gets me." "I need some eggnog." "Of course!" "It's almost 8 A.M." "Excuse me." "Where are you going?" "Josh, giddy up!" "Big Ed is here!" "Where's my Ferrari?" "What?" "Where's my Ferrari?" "What's he talking about?" "You got a Ferrari?" "Let me borrow your car." "I promise I'll have it returned." "My Caddy?" "Drive your own damn car!" "Let him borrow it, for God's sakes!" "There's a perfectly good minivan out there in the driveway." "What the hell is wrong with him?" "Tony!" "Thank God!" "Entrance is for residents only." "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Jack Campbell, Penthouse C. What's the matter with you?" "Mrs. Peterson, there's something wrong with Tony." "Who is this man?" "Oh, come on!" "What is going on with you two this morning?" "Is this like... a Christmas joke?" ""Who is this man"?" "We're on the co-op board together." "We fought for the garbage disposals." "And every morning we exchange quasi-sexual witty banter." "I'm gonna call the cops." "No, I'm gonna call the cops!" "You're scaring me!" "Thank you." "Now I'm going upstairs to get some sleep." "Sleep you shall." "Noblesse oblige isn't dead yet." "Let's get you some help." "Surely there's a shelter somewhere." "A shelter?" "Are you smacked out of your head?" "I'm the richest man in this building I've got twice the square footage you have!" "And I'm going upstairs!" "Take a walk, pal!" "Oh, not cool." "Not cool!" "You want to get cute?" "Get cute." "I'm gonna file a complaint to the manager of the building and having you fired, Tony!" "And Mrs. Peterson, you're on notice with the co-op board." "So you better just stop whatever this is that you're doing!" "Oh, come on!" "Frank, is Adelle here yet?" "Wait right there!" "Where's Mintz?" "The building is closed, pal." "You have to come back tomorrow." "Do I need to remind you I'm Jack Campbell, President of the company?" "I don't care who you are." "It's Christmas, the building is closed." "I don't think you heard me correctly." "I'm Jack Campbell." "Jack Campbell." "President!" "Have a nice holiday, man." "That's my car!" "Hi, Jack." "You stole my car!" "I know this thing is bizarre to you." "But just hop in." "I'll explain everything to you." "Come on." "Come on." "You'll probably are gonna want to buckle up, Jack." "This thing moves." "What's happening to me?" "Breathe into the bag, Jack." "This kind of thing makes a lot of guys throw up." "So if you feel the urge, roll down the window and do it out there." "Try not to get so worked up." "You brought this on yourself." "Brought what on myself?" "I didn't do anything!" ""I got everything I need." That sound familiar?" "You mean because you thought I was cocky..." "I'm now on a permanent acid trip?" "Bag yourself, Jack." "Oh, my God!" "The way you intervened in that store last night was a good thing." "It was very impressive up to the upper echelons of the organization." "Please just tell me what's happening to me in plain English... without the mumbo jumbo." "This is a glimpse, Jack." "A glimpse?" "A glimpse of what?" "You'll have to figure that out." "You got plenty of time." "How much time?" "As much as it takes...which, in your case, will be considerable." "Look, I just want my life back, okay?" "Now what's it gonna take?" "You want to talk turkey?" "Let's talk turkey." "How much money?" "It doesn't work like that." "And I can't tell you why." "Why not?" "You have to figure out for yourself." "Are you listening to me?" "Figure out what?" "Let it come to you, man." "I don't have time for this." "I'm in the middle of a deal!" "You're working on a new deal now, baby!" "What's this?" "Open it." "What is it?" "Some kind of signal?" "You come whenever I ring it?" "Now get out of the car, Jack." "But what do I do?" "Sorry, I can't spend more time." "I got other business to take care of." "No, you did this to me." "You can't just leave me like this." "You wanna get some air?" "Let's get outside and I'll explain everything." "Thanks, man." "Sure." "Excuse me." "You know where Merrison Street is?" "Jeannie, I found Jack!" "There you are, stranger!" "Where you been?" "You look terrible." "The truth is, I expected you." "Kate called and asked if I knew where you were." "I know, I put the Barcalounger in the center of the room." "What do you think?" "It's a great room." "Great room." "You and me, we know how to live." "Come on." "Come on, Jack." "Come on." "Come on, buddy." "Take your seat." "Are you okay?" "You take off Christmas morning and don't tell anyone where you're going." "We're friends?" "Talk to me." "I'm having kind of a bad day." "I read somewhere the suicide rate doubles during the holiday." "Why am I saying that for?" "You don't want to hear that." "Is it trouble at work?" "I don't think so." "It's not Kate, is it?" "You see?" "It's like we're inside each other's heads." "Kate's my wife." "Just keep saying it over and over again, like a mantra." "Look, you fit the profile exactly." "In your thirties, house, kids, financial responsibilities." "You start thinking, "This isn't the life I dreamt about."" "Where's the romance?" "Where's the "joie de vivre"?" "Suddenly, every lingerie ad in the Newark Star Ledger... represents a life that you can't have." "It's just two kids, right?" "Come on." "Come on." "Sometimes it feels like you gave up the world." "But look what you got." "Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, a partially finished basement... and you get kids." "Look, you know what?" "Remember when I almost had that thing with Arnie Jr.'s therapist?" "Remember what you said to me?" "You said: "Don't screw up the best thing in your life... just because you're a little unsure about who you are."" "Go get 'em, tiger!" "Could you hold on a second?" "Wait." "Never mind, because... because he just walked in." "Thank you." "Do you have any idea what you put us through today?" "You leave at 7:" "3O in the morning, don't tell me where you're going... or even that you're going... and I don't see you till hours later?" "I called all of our friends." "I had the state troopers looking for you." "I was on the phone with the hospital for God's sake." "What kind of a man leaves his family on Christmas morning without a word?" "What kind of a man does that, Jack!" "I don't know." "Could you please stop yelling at me?" "Where were you?" "I was in the city." "The city?" "New York City?" "Why?" "Because that's where I live." "Don't start, Jack." "Don't." "You don't understand." "I woke up this morning here." "And this is very strange, because... this isn't my house." "Those aren't my kids." "I'm not Dad." "I'm not a dad." "You're not my wife." "Jack, it's not funny this time." "Because I am really mad!" "I mean really mad." "I mean it!" "I don't even..." "What..." "What's that?" "I like it." "Thanks, Dad." "That's mine." "I need that back." "She took my bell." "You missed the whole thing." "The pancakes and the presents." "You spent six hours putting that bike together for Annie... and you didn't even see the look on her face when she opened it." "You missed Christmas, Jack." "I'm sorry." "Anyway, we don't have time for this." "And at least you're okay." "I'm okay, we're okay." "Better get dressed for the Thompson party." "You are not wearing that." "I don't care how funny you think it is." "Party?" "I'm not going to a party." "You look forward to this party all year." "What is with you today?" "Believe me, I don't think going to a party is right at this time." "Okay, fine." "You know what?" "You do whatever you want to do." "What are you doing?" "Telling my mother that she doesn't have to stay with the kids." "Why not?" "Because you'll be here." "I'll be ready in ten minutes." "This is... this is just sub-par." "Mary, Lance, here you go." "Excuse me." "Kate, Jack." "Evelyn." "Come in!" "Everybody, Kate and Jack are here!" "Jeannie!" "Merry Christmas." "Jack, Merry Christmas." "I'll take your coat." "So, like the dress?" "It's lovely." "I thought I saw you notice it at the kids' recital." "It's lovely." "It's lovely." "There he is." "Jack!" "Happy holidays, man." "Jack, come on over." "Hey, Jack." "Cheers, baby." "You guys see Van Horn last night?" "32 points!" "He'll make the Nets champions." "The Nets?" "You kidding?" "They suck!" "But they're due." "They're certainly due." "So tomorrow's the big day, Jackie." "Why?" "My triple bypass." "I told you I was going under the knife." "Triple bypass." "You really thing you should be eating all that?" "I'm going for cleaning tomorrow, why not load up on fried stuff?" "Good thinking, Bill." "Have another drink... fried pork, mashed potatoes." "He'll be dead by morning." "How about a cigar, Jackie?" "I'm cutting down." "They're American-made, not Cuban." "Oh, really?" "Very nice." "I thought you'd like them." "Superb." "How about you, Arn?" "I'm alright, thanks." "Finger food?" "No, thank you." "I'm fine." "As soon as I put them down, you're gonna grab a couple." "You always do." "No, I'm okay." "Let me." "They will melt in your mouth." "Good?" "Fabulous." "At the end of this thing, she made me this hand-embroidered sweater." "It's really lovely." "How nice." "I slipped it on and noticed that she misspelled the word "Lawyers"." "I spent the entire day walking around with a sweater that said..." ""Non-profit Layers Do It For Free."" "So you're a lawyer?" "A non-profit lawyer." "Pro bono." "You don't get paid at all?" "Nobody makes a dime!" "Anyhow..." "I'll better go wake up Mom." "There you go." "I don't think so." "She's your dog." "No, she's not." "You're right." "She's the kids' dog." "Maybe we should wake up Josh and make him walk her." "If you could take a dump soon, we could go home and get warm." "If I can even remember how to get home." "You remember, don't you, girl?" "Hello?" "Hello!" "What?" "That baby is crying." "And?" "Don't give me that look." "Tuesday's your day and you know it." "And, listen, try and get Josh to day care on time, okay?" "All right..." "Holy mother of God!" "You're not really my dad, are you?" "No, I'm not." "I work on Wall Street." "You know, with the big buildings?" "I live in an apartment." "And I can buy almost anything I want." "This isn't my life." "It's just a glimpse." "Where is my real dad?" "I don't know." "But don't worry... he loves you, and I'm sure he'll be back very soon." "What are you doing?" "They did a pretty good job." "Who did?" "The aliens in the mothership." "You look just like him." "Thanks." "Slightly better-looking though, right?" "You're not going to start crying." "I couldn't deal with that right now." "Do you like kids?" "On a case by case basis." "Do you know how to make chocolate milk?" "I think I could figure it out." "Promise you won't kidnap me and my brother... and plant stuff in our brains?" "Sure." "Welcome to Earth." "This is where babies go when their parents are at work." "Check." "Just push the red button." "Do I get a receipt or something?" "I have winter camp until 4:" "OO and ballet class until 5:" "3O." "And don't be late." "Kids don't like to be the last one picked up." "Got it." "Good tip." "Bye." "Bye." "Annie?" "Where do I go now?" "Big Ed's." "Big Ed's Tires?" "Why?" "Because you work there." "You mean, I sell tires?" "That's what I do." "I'm a tire salesman." "Good Lord!" "Morning, Jack." "Morning, Jack." "Hey, Jack." "Jack, my boy." "Guess who I played bridge with two nights ago?" "You'll never guess." "One Sydney Potter." "That's Sydney Potter, CEO of Buy Rite Transport!" "Only the third biggest trucking outfit in the state." "Anyhow, he's looking for a new parts supplier." "We can handle volume like that, can't we?" "I'll get back to you on that." "Right on." "Excuse me, do I have a private office somewhere in the building?" "Yeah, sure, Jack." "Where is it?" "It's right back there." "Thank you." "Oh, no." "You must have needed this every day." "What are you smiling about?" "1988?" "I was in London in 1988." "You never went to London." "Jack, you're needed in mag wheels, customer waiting." "I was the #1 junior sales associate for E.F. Hutton in 1988." "Did you know that?" "No, I didn't." "That's great." "That's the kind of thing you can really build on, you know?" "I mean, sales has always been a figure for MA." "Always." "Look, here we are." "Mag wheels." "Mag wheels." "So..." "Are you sure you're okay?" "I'm confused about why I work here." "I just started here last Tuesday." "The closing tip was a mildly bullish plus 76." "The market's today was filled with a merger mania in Wall Street." "Global Health Systems and Med Tech Pharmaceutical announced... that will join forces in a massive $ 122 billion stock swap deal... the largest ever in the healthcare industry." "When asked about the possible anti-competitive implications..." "Global chairman Bob Thomas referred reporters to..." "P.K. Lassiter president Alan Mintz, the original architect of the deal." "That's my deal!" "Ironically, Mintz first met Thomas at a Lamaze class." "What?" "They struck up a dialogue, and two months later the deal with Med Tech was born." "You wasn't the architect!" "I am!" "The kids are asleep." "The kids, hon." "Honey." "Sweetheart..." "I said the kids are asleep." "That's just great." "Those little monkeys can be a real handful." "Hey, I was watching that." "Not tonight." "Please leave my socks alone." "You want me." "That is the general idea." "Maybe we should grab a bottle of wine first... to break the ice." "That's very funny." "It's 1O:3O." "By 11 o'clock you're gonna be snoring like a monster, but... that's very sweet." "I'll remember that for next time." "Whatever you say..." "honey." "God, you're beautiful." "Thanks, Jack." "I'm serious." "You're really stunning." "This is good stuff." "Keep this up." "You were always pretty in college... there's no question about that." "But this... you've really grown into a beautiful woman." "How can you do that?" "What?" "Look at me like you haven't seen me everyday for the last 13 years?" "Wait, don't move." "Don't look." "Stay right there." "I got something." "Good night, sweetheart." "We're almost out of here." "Mary Janes, mommy." "You promised!" "That's right, I did promise." "We're gonna stop at the kid's shoe department first... and then I'm gonna pick up my watch in the battery store and then to the linen store..." "Why don't we go to all the stores!" "Every single store in this God-forsaken shopping mall!" "Wouldn't that be exciting?" "You know what?" "Why don't I take the kids, and you just... stay here and hang out in the men's department?" "Come on." "It's perfect for your frame." "Why don't you try it on?" "Might want to take an inch out the back." "Lengthen the sleeve." "You look amazing on that suit." "I mean, really." "Wow!" "Off the charts." "Great." "It's an unbelievable thing." "Wearing this suit actually makes me feel like a better person." "I'm gonna buy it." "It's US$ 2.4OO!" "Are you out of your mind?" "Come on, let's go." "She got her shoes." "Those shoes were 25 dollars." "Take it off." "We'll go to the food court, get the cakes you like." "This daddy is a crazy guy." "Can you imagine what my life is like?" "Excuse me?" "I wake up in the morning covered in dog saliva." "I drop the kids off, spend 8 hours selling tires retail." "Retail, Kate." "I pick the kids up, walk the dog... which, by the way, carries the added bonus of carting her monstrous crap." "I play with the kids, take up the garbage... get 6 hours of sleep, if I'm lucky, and then it starts all over again." "So, what's in it for me?" "Where are my Mary Janes?" "It's sad to hear that your life is such a disappointment to you." "I can't believe that it isn't a disappointment to you!" "Jesus, Kate, I could have been a thousand times the man I became!" "I could be one of the richest, Forbes..." "How could you do this to me?" "How could you let me give up on my dreams like this?" "I want to know!" "Who are you?" "Alright, look, I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I was such a saint before, and I'm such a prick now!" "But maybe I'm just not the same guy that I was when we got married." "You know what?" "Maybe you're not." "Because the Jack Campbell I married would not need a $ 2,4OO suit... to feel better about his life." "But I'm telling you, if that's what it's gonna take, then buy it." "Jesus!" "Take the money from the kids college." "Forget it." "We'll get a funnel cake." "It'll be the highlight of my week!" "Listen, I'm really sorry about that bag in the store." "I don't wanna fight." "I just sometimes wonder how we ended up here, you know?" "I mean, back in college, did you see us here?" "Life has thrown us a few surprises." "It really has, hasn't it?" "What would you say was the biggest surprise?" "Just out of curiosity." "Annie, for one." ""Surprise, we're pregnant!"" "Yeah, that must have been." "I mean, that was." "That was a very unexpected moment." "But, what you're gonna do?" "I think it turned out alright, don't you?" "Yeah, I really like Annie." "Good, Jack." "Maybe we'll keep her!" "No, I love her." "I love Annie." "I'm just..." "We had a lot of good times, didn't we?" "Do you remember the place on Charles Street where we used to go?" "Charles Street?" "In the Village?" "When we were living in Greenwich Village." "Great times, great place." "Why do we ever leave?" "You can't really raise a kid in an apartment in the Village." "And, there was a whole trek out to the hospital." "That it didn't help, either." "You were great, but surviving a heart attack was one thing..." "You had a heart attack?" "Jack, stop that." "'Cause I'm still mad at you." "Who knows what would've happened if you hadn't stepped in at the store?" "That's why I work for Big Ed..." "That's why I work for Big Ed!" "So we had a baby, Big Ed had a heart attack... we bought that house, and I've been working for him ever since." "Sayonara, Wall Street." "Our life in a nutshell." "If you wanna look at it that way." "How would you look at it?" "A great success story." "Show 'em how to do it, Jack." "We need a strike." "Damn!" "Jesus, Jack... what are you doing?" "It's a league match." "Where's your follow-through?" "Where's your stance?" "You know what?" "I'm doing the best I can." "It's okay, Jack." "Why am I so competitive all the time?" "You could still pick up that spare." "Looking good!" "Crack 'em, Jack!" "You're Jack Campbell, you're better than the sport." "Shot the rabbits in Kenai, you ran with the bulls in Pamplona." "Jumped out of an airplane over the Mojave Desert!" "You can do this!" "You can do this." "Victorious!" "Alright!" "Have five!" "Get up, Slot." "Beat 'em!" "Hi, Jack." "Evelyn, right?" "Very funny." "I saw you out on lane 2O." "You got the flu or something?" "Something like that, yeah." "Need a nurse?" "Are you a nurse?" "If that's what you want." "Wait a minute." "Don't run away." "Are we...?" "Are we what, Jack?" "Is there something going on between us?" "Are we finally being honest?" "It would help me if we were." "You're right." "We've been dancing around this for years." "Here it goes: when I get dressed for a party and I know you'll be there..." "Let's just say I don't go strapless because my husband likes it." "I got six sets of snow tires piled up in my garage... and I won't even drive in snow." "Our kids just happen to be in the same ballet class every year." "So, if you're asking me whether I'd like it to be more... the answer is yes." "Kate would never have to know." "Do I have your number?" "Steve's out of town with the kids this weekend." "Why don't you just stop by?" "You are all flush." "I feel good." "I guess that 71 took a lot out of you." "I just saw Evelyn Thompson." "She's relentless." "She wants to have an affair with me." "She said that?" "Pretty much." "What is it about you?" "So... if you would write her exact address down there..." "You have a pen?" "Please." "Whoa." "Hold on a second." "You aren't actually thinking about cheating on Kate, are you?" "Well, it wouldn't really be cheating, Arnie." "It's complicated." "Maybe I haven't been as good a counselor as you've been to me... hear me out on this, okay?" "A little flertation is harmless... but you're dealing with fire here, alright, man?" "The Fidelity Bank and Trust is a tough creditor." "You make a deposit somewhere else, they close your account... forever." "Alright?" "I don't want your head to explode, but those rules don't apply to me." "I'm not even..." "I'm not talking about rules, Jack." "I'm talking about..." "There isn't a guy here that wouldn't give his left nut to be with Kate." "She's amazing, and you're gonna fuck it up." "Just think about that, alright?" "Hey, honey." "How was the game?" "Long, boring, and generally pretty sad." "Arnie seemed to enjoy it." "Sort of." "Where's that chocolate cake?" "Do you mean this chocolate cake?" "That's my piece." "I was saving it 'cause I got nauseated by that chicken." "It's good." "Give me that cake." "No way." "Come on." "I'm sorry." "It's too important to me." "I want that cake!" "You want this cake?" "I want it." "Thank you." "It's good, right?" "Are the kids asleep?" "Say it to me, Jack." "What?" "You know what I like to hear." "Yeah, baby." "I know what you like to hear." "Then tell me." "Tell me." "You're a bad girl, baby." "You make me so hot." "What?" "Not it?" "Nice, Jack." "You're sweeping me off my feet." "You make me hot." "Everyone, a birthday party for Kate." "Happy birthday, Kate." "Good to see you kids still together!" "Hello, kids." "This is very exciting." "Evelyn, you look tremendous." "Thank you." "Look what happens when I do that." "Jack, the man?" "Do you have anything to say to your lovely wife on the day of her birth?" "Today is your birthday?" "Yeah, I'm 22." "You know what?" "Wow, your birthday." "You are my wife, and today is your birthday." "Actually, I do have one thing that I want to say to you." "And, God, I hope you like it." "Bill?" "You hit it, Bill." "You wore that shirt last year by the way, just so you know." "Many guys come to you With a line that wasn't true" "And you passed them by" "Passed them by" "Now you're in the center ring" "And the lines don't mean a thing Why don't you let me try?" "Let him try" "I don't wear a diamond ring" "I don't even have a song To sing" "All I know is La, la, la, la means" "I love you" "La, la, la, la means" "I love you" "The things I'm saying Are true" "And the way I explain it to you" "Get down, Jack!" "To you" "Listen to me La, la, la, la means" "I love you" "La, la, la, la means" "I love you" "Happy birthday, sweetheart." "There's love in the air." "He loves her." "There's love." "Come on, it's time to get up, honey." "Go." "Morning, Joshie." "Happy anniversary, honey." "Before you do whatever crazy stunt you've got planned..." "I want you to open mine first." "Maybe I should wait." "No!" "Come on!" "Open it." ""Zeena"?" "I found it at an outlet store." "I know it's a knockoff, but I think it will look great on you." "Enjoy it, sweetheart." "You're probably expecting something from me." "Here's the thing." "I hadn't really planned on giving you... your anniversary gift until tonight." "Anniversary's good all day." "But you can never wait all day." "You can't even wait until it's light out." "I know." "I know, that's me." "It's true." "But... it's funny, I..." "You forgot." "You actually forgot our anniversary." "I'll fix it." "I'll go out right now and I'll get you something." "I'll make it right." "Let me know if there's enough chocolate in there." "Not bad." "Good." "I should've warned you." "Dad always does something special." "Like what?" "Once he had a star named after her." "He had a star named after her?" "That's nice, but isn't that a little corny?" "Mom liked it." "Maybe I can go to a store and pick her up a pair of earrings." "That's good, but you did forget the anniversary." "Right, that is a major oversight." "Okay, so if I'm Kate..." "I can't afford the finer things, my husband's career is definitely... a crushing disappointment to me..." "I'm trapped in suburbia." "Did he ever take her to the city?" "Now you're getting the hang of it." "Can we afford this place?" "In our anniversary, damn the costs!" "Good night, and welcome." "We'll have the quail breast with shitake mushrooms, to start." "Then the veal medallions in raspberry truffle sauce and the sea scallops with artichoke." "Very good, sir." "And may I say those are all excellent selections?" "You may." "Also, we'll have a bottle of Lafitte '82." "Honey... that's an $8OO bottle of wine." "We'll just have some red wine by the glass." "You are so not off the hook yet, Slick." "But I'm getting close, right?" "You want to dance?" "I don't think there's dancing here." "Sure there is." "Come on." "Not bad for a tire salesman from New Jersey." "I have my moments." "You gotta try one of these." "God, I missed that taste." "I need to tell you something." "I think it may help us... but there's a slight chance I can make things worse." "I'm living someone else's..." "I feel like I'm living someone else's life." "I remember I used to walk to work... and I had a warm bialy in my hand... and a hot cup of coffee from Dean and Deluca... the crisp feeling of the Wall Street Journal... the smell of leather from my briefcase." "I used to be... so sure about everything." "Confident." "You know, I knew exactly who I was... and what I wanted." "And then one morning I woke up... and suddenly it was all different." "Worse, do you mean?" "Maybe a few things, but, mostly just different." "And it's okay." "But I never used to be like this." "I had it all figured out." "I had no doubts." "I had no regrets." "And now?" "Now, I don't." "I don't have it all figured out." "Me, neither." "But you always seem so certain." "You think I never wake up and wonder what I'm doing in New Jersey?" "My office is a dump, I answer my own phone, and you've seen my paycheck." "Your paycheck is a disgrace to paychecks." "Can you imagine a life where everything was just easy?" "Where you ask for things, and people just bring them to you?" "It's wonderful." "I think about it, too." "I do." "I wonder about what life I would have had if I hadn't married you." "And?" "And then I realize I've erased all the things that I'm sure about." "You, and the kids." "Good things." "What are you sure about?" "That right now there's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you." "You like it?" "This is beautiful." "You know champagne makes me do crazy things." "I'll fill yours up to the top." "I don't know how you did it, Hoss, but you pulled it off." "I'm out of the doghouse?" "Way out." "Happy anniversary, sweetheart." "You may even get lucky tonight, Jack." "You're so beautiful." "I already told you you were going to get lucky." "Oh, my God, all this time..." "I never stopped loving you." "That's all I wanted to hear." "I'm going to wear the usual today." "What are you thinking?" "You want to come to work with Dad?" "Help me sell some tires?" "It's fun." "I'm pretty good at it." "Who's this?" "Who's that?" "Who's on that tie?" "That's Grandpa." "Jack!" "Have a great day." "For the money, this is hands down the best radial we carry." "Okay, I'll take them." "You won't regret it." "Tommy, set Mr. Conlin up with four B.F. Goodrich G-force." "And give him 1O% off for having the best costume." "Thank you." "You bet." "Right this way, sir." "Does the tire smoke?" "Remember our Valentine's Day special." "Balance and alignment for free." "How you doing today?" "It just blew out on me." "Do you have another tire like that?" "I had some sort of a blowout here." "I'll take this one, Kenny." "Okay, chief." "Peter Lassiter." "Do I know you?" "Not exactly." "I've seen you on CNBC." "You look taller in real life." "The truth is Mintz was so busy timing his wife's breathing... he didn't realize Med Tech needed Global more than the opposite." "Two weeks, tops, they would have approached you... with an offer that would have been $13O billion, not $122." "The trouble was you had a pussycat running the show." "You needed a Doberman." "I'm impressed." "I really am." "Now, about my car..." "Sure." "We have to special order that tire." "It will take a couple of days." "All right." "This is my office address." "Why don't you drop off the car yourself?" "We're really more of a boutique operation, as you can see." "But you're not interested in boutique dollars." "I get it." "He's expecting you, Mr. Lassiter." "Alan, this is Jack Campbell the one I was telling you about." "Oh, of course, Jack." "Mr." "Mintz." "Call me Alan." "We like to cultivate a casual atmosphere around here." "I can see that." "What can I say?" "Do you have kids?" "Actually, yes." "Two of them." "Good ones." "Great." "Have a seat." "Peter mentioned to me that you're an avid CNBC watcher... but he didn't say whether you had any actual Wall Street experience." "I was a sales associate at E.F. Hutton." "A broker, really?" "And now you're in the tire business." "That's right." "And auto supply." "In the retail end, right?" "We get about 6O% of our business from automotive service." "And do you mind me asking what kind of sales you did in the last year?" "We did $1.7 million in revenue." "US$1.7 million." "Great." "What do you project for this year?" "I think it will be a banner year." "Sales are up 2O% in the quarter... and we just landed a major trucking company." "Terrific." "So that puts you just a tad over $2 million?" "Right." "And that would make us number one in our market." "Excuse me." "I need a glass of water." "Look, I know our paltry $2 million in sales... is about what you spend a year on office supplies." "A trucking company account is nothing compared to a multi-billion dollar merger..." "I'm not knocking the tire business." "It's okay, Alan, I get it." "I'm thinking exactly the same thing." "But here's the deal." "Business is business." "Wall Street, Main Street." "It's just people trying to figure out how to send their kids to college." "It's just people." "And I know people." "I'm sure you do." "Take you for instance, Alan." "You have a certain energy." "It's an active energy." "I wouldn't be surprised if you drank about 16 Diet Cokes a day." "You're an excellent father, but you feel guilty spending time away." "You drink bourbon, but offer your clients Scotch." "And your wife decorated this office." "He certainly seems to have your number." "You're a little tougher, Peter." "You like expensive things." "That's easy." "You've seen my car." "You smoke Hoyo de Monterreys." "You're a Scotch man." "Single malt." "Not because it's trendy." "But because you've been doing it for the last forty years." "You have two great loves in your life." "Your horses... and this company." "And you're a man who prides himself on finding talent in unusual places." "How would you know that?" "Because I'm here." "I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to get this job." "I'll start wherever I have to start." "I'll park cars if I have to." "To judge character you must know yourself." "And I know this..." "I can do this job." "I can." "Give me a chance, Peter." "I won't let you down." "Alan, why don't you show Jack around." "This is our war room." "We did 7 major deals in here last year 3 of them hostile." "Seven?" "You get a feeling from..." "Can we cut the shit here?" "Where did you get that information?" "Did you go through his wallet?" "Did you search on the net?" "It doesn't really matter." "That circus you pulled back there may have dazzled Lassiter, but not me." "Even if you get this job, which I doubt, let me warn you..." "Peter Lassiter gets tired of his pet projects very quickly." "I have that big office because I prove myself to him year after year." "Nobody is going to come in and turn his head." "Especially a tire salesman." "So if you're cautious and quiet... and stay away from him, maybe I'll keep you after he gets bored with you." "Do we understand each other?" "You really are different, aren't you?" "Excuse me?" "I mean, wow!" "I'm impressed." "Good for you." "Are we understanding each other?" "Yes, Alan, I understand you." "Okay then." "Good." "Good." "Keep your eyes closed." "Hold on." "Go ahead, open your eyes." "Welcome to Xanadu." "It's pretty incredible, isn't it?" "It's like a museum." "Look around." "So what's the big surprise?" "You didn't rent this for the weekend, did you?" "Think bigger." "For the week?" "This place is a perk, Kate." "A perk?" "For what?" "A company called P.K. Lassiter, an investment house... uses it to attract new executives." "I'm going into arbitrage, honey." "It turns out I have a knack for it." "What are you talking about?" "I'll make twice what I make now." "Plus a hefty bonus." "And that's just a start." "We can live in this apartment practically rent free until we find a place of our own." "Are you out of your mind?" "I don't think so." "This is going to be a better life for all of us." "We can put Annie and Josh into private schools." "Annie goes to a great school." "I'm talking about the best schools." "What could you possibly be thinking about?" "What about my job?" "This is New York City, the needy people capital of the world." "Your Jersey clients aren't a tenth as pathetic as the ones here." "I can't believe you're talking about moving back into the city." "We left because we didn't want to raise the kids here." "No, this is the center of the universe." "If I were living in Roman times, I would live in Rome." "And today America is the Roman Empire, and New York is Rome itself." "I'm detecting a funky tension here." "This was supposed to be a happy day." "So guess what." "I don't need this." "We don't have to live here." "Forget it!" "I'll commute." "I'll drive to work." "It's more than an hour each way." "That's three hours every day." "When you're ever gonna see the kids?" "You're not understanding me." "I'm talking about a perfect life." "A great life." "Everything we pictured when we were young." "The whole package." "You said so, life threw us a few surprises, so we made sacrifices." "Well, now I can finally get us back on track." "I can do that, Kate." "I want to do that." "I need to do that, as a man." "For all of us." "Please just think about this for one second." "No more lousy restaurants." "No more clipping coupons." "No more shoveling snow." "Then get a goddamn snow blower!" "Don't go get a new career without even telling me about it." "Don't take Annie out of a school that she loves... and don't move us out of a house we've become a family in." "Don't you see?" "I'm talking about us finally having a life... that other people envy." "They already do envy us." "From London to New York." "I came back." "When you got on that plane, I was sure it was over." "I left the airport afraid I'd never see you again." "And then you showed up the very next day." "That was a good surprise." "You know, I think about the decision you made." "Maybe I was being naive... but I believed that we would grow old together in this house." "That we'd spend holidays here and... have our grandchildren come visit us here." "I had this image of us all gray and wrinkly... and me working in the garden, and you repainting the deck." "But things change." "If you need this, Jack, if you really need this..." "I will take these kids from the life they love... and take myself from the only home we've ever shared... and I'll move wherever you need to go." "I'll do that because I love you." "I love you." "And that's more important to me than our address." "I choose us." "I'll chase you." "You can't catch me!" "You can't catch!" "I fell down." "I knew you'd come back." "Annie..." "I love you." "What are you doing?" "Ringing my bell." "US$ 4,99!" "It's just salt, for God's sakes!" "99 cents, darling." "Out of US$ 1O." "You!" "Jack!" "What's up?" "How you feeling, baby?" "Why are you here?" "Here's your change." "5, 6, 7, 8... nine dollars and one cent." "Is that rock salt?" "Look at you!" "You went and got all domestic." "You really figured some things out, huh?" "You're not sending me back." "Everything okay?" "Did you hear me?" "Wait a second." "I'm talking to you." "You see that?" "Character." "And for what?" "For nine bucks?" "That is so disappointing." "I am not going back, understand?" "Relax, Jack." "You can't do this." "You can't keep coming in and out of people's lives." "It's not right." "A glimpse by definition is an impermanent thing, Jack." "I've got kids." "I'm going home." "Is it morning yet?" "No, honey." "Go back to sleep." "Take care, Annie." "I'm going back to the mothership." "These past few weeks I know I've done some... some unusual things." "It's been interesting, that's for sure." "I've done some good things too, though, haven't I?" "You've been Jack Campbell." "And that's always a good thing." "I need you to remember me, Kate." "How I am right now... at this very moment." "I need you to put that image in your heart and keep it there." "Keep it with you, no matter what happens." "Are you okay?" "Please, just promise me." "You have to promise me, because if you don't... then it's like it never happened, and I can't live with that." "I promise." "Promise me again." "I promise." "Now come to bed." "Soon." "What time is it?" "Waiting for me by the door, huh?" "Paula?" "Merry Christmas." "Christmas?" "It's not Christmas." "It's whatever you want it to be." "No, it's not Christmas." "Can I help you?" "Is Kate here?" "Does Kate live here?" "There's nobody named Kate here." "Of course not." "You okay?" "Santa Claus, where are you?" "Everybody's here." "Adelle?" "You're a half an hour late." "The emergency strategy?" "Trip to Aspen?" "Is this ringing any bells?" "Everybody is panicked here, Jack." "I'll be there in twenty minutes." "No, I'm not gonna talk to them till I have something to talk about." "I don't care if it's Christmas Day, we're in crisis here!" "Wait, Jack just walked in." "I'll call you back." "Jack, thank God you're here." "Are you all right?" "What's going on here?" "What's going on?" "Well, it's not good." "Bob Thomas has been secretly talking to some European company." "They'll let him buy a minority stake and still keep running the company." "And Global knows." "I don't know how, but they do." "And they're up in arms." "They think somehow we should've been prepared for this." "Prepared?" "Oh, God, we're in trouble." "You know something, Alan?" "Somewhere inside of you there is a much more assertive person." "Is this another one of those Sun Tzu "Art of War" tricks?" "What are we gonna do, Jack?" "I'll tell you exactly what we're going to do." "You're going to find out which European company he's talking to." "Then I'm going to clean myself up... fly to Aspen and drink eggnog with Bob Thomas." "His wife and kids will be playing in the snow... while I convince him that the European company is the devil... and Global is the answer to his prayers." "Then I'm going to spend four hours skiing." "Alone." "Completely and utterly alone." "I'm going to do that because that is my life, that's what's real." "And there's nothing I can do to change that." "For Manhattan." "Kate Reynolds." "I need an address, too." "It's very fragile, so you wanna be really careful with it, okay?" "It's valuable and 3OO years old." "You'll need a few guys to carry it." "And the painting is also very, very old, so take extra care." "It means a lot to Kate, okay?" "I appreciate it." "What?" "Are you from the moving company?" "I'm Jack Campbell." "I'm an old friend of Kate's." "Kate, some guy is here." "Lori, did you call the airline like I asked you to?" "It's like, two hours..." "God, it's been a long time." "You look..." "You look great." "Thanks." "Come on in." "I'm just doing some..." "Lori, where are those boxes?" "I'm sorry." "No, Jack, don't." "Please, I don't even care." "Oh, great, thank you." "What's going on?" "I'm moving to Paris." "Lori, have you seen that box that says "Jack" on it?" "I put it with the rest of the Salvation Army stuff." "Do you want me to look for the box or call the airline?" "Hey, coney if I'm under a little pressure here." "Hey, coney giving up Christmas Day for my ex-boss here." "Hey, didn't seem to mind when she was opening the Prada bag I gave her." "Maybe it's by the wardrobe boxes." "Thank you." "So you're moving?" "Yeah, to Paris." "My firm has an office there." "I'm gonna be heading it up." "Paris." "Paris, France?" "That's the one." "So you're not at a non-profit firm?" "God, no!" "Not with what they pay me." "Are you married?" "No." "I never got married, Jack." "You?" "Not exactly." "Look, could we take a minute here?" "Maybe go get a cup of coffee?" "I'll go for a cup of coffee." "Yes!" "I found it." "Congratulations." "Your flight was canceled, but I got you out of Kennedy at seven." "Excellent." "Am I good or what?" "Yes, you're brilliant." "Thank you." "Here you go." "It's just some old stuff of yours." "Do you ever think about us, Kate?" "About what might have happened?" "If you're ever in Paris, look me up, and we'll have that cup of coffee." "Or "café ou lait"." "Don't close that up." "I will never find this box again." "I marked it, okay?" "You should be more specific." "We have enough time to open it." "But I was trying to close it up." "Make a right here." "Sir, you'll be late for your flight." "We're not going to the airport." "You can't leave this here." "You can't park here!" "Kate!" "You can't go." "Don't get on that plane." "Please let's go have a cup of coffee." "That's all I'm asking." "I'm sure there's another flight to Paris tonight." "What are you doing here?" "Do you need closure?" "Because if you do after all these years, you got it." "I'm okay." "I'm fine." "I was heartbroken, but I got over it." "I moved on." "And you should move on, too." "I'm sorry, I just can't..." "I've got to go." "I'm sorry, Jack." "Excuse me." "Can I just?" "I'm sorry, I was here." "We have a house in Jersey!" "We have two kids, Annie and Josh." "Annie's not much of a violin player, but she tries real hard." "She's a little precocious, but that's because she says what's on her mind." "And when she smiles..." "And Josh, he has your eyes." "He doesn't say much, but we know he's smart." "He's always got his eyes open." "He's always watching us." "Sometimes you can look at him and you just know... he's learning something new." "It's like witnessing a miracle." "The house is a mess, but it's ours." "After 122 more payments, it's gonna be ours." "And you, you're a non-profit lawyer." "That's right." "You're completely non-profit." "But that doesn't seem to bother you." "And we're in love." "After 13 years of marriage, we're still unbelievably in love." "You won't even let me touch you till I've said it." "I sing to you." "Not all the time, but definitely on special occasions." "We dealt with our share of surprises and made a lot of sacrifices... but we stayed together." "You see... you're a better person than I am." "And it made me a better person to be around you." "Maybe it was all just a dream... maybe I went to bed one lonely night in December and imagined it all." "But I swear nothing's ever felt more real." "And if you get on that plane right now... it will disappear forever." "I know we could both go on with our lives." "And we'd be fine." "But I've seen what we can be like together." "And I choose us." "Please, Kate... one cup of coffee." "You can always go to Paris." "Just, please... not tonight." "Okay, Jack." "CAPTIONSBY VIDEOLAR"
