"Anybody home?" "Just us mice." "Is there something we could drink that'll make us 2 inches tall?" "Then we can move in." "Yeah." "This fenestration here..." "The what?" "Of the windows." "See the windows here on the west wall?" "They don't quite work yet." "Vincent, it's the most beautiful..." "Fenestration..." "I've ever seen." "Now, come over here." "Who, me?" "Yes, you." "What was your name again?" "I do love you." "Go go go go go." "Go go go go go." "Wonderful." "Please, don't let me miss this." "I called the contractor." "He said tomorrow morning would be good." "We can get things started finally." "Think you can you get away for a few hours?" "Let's see." "What's tomorrow?" "Wednesday, right?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Yeah." "We can do that." "I'll get the car this afternoon so we get started pretty early." "What?" "Why do you do that?" "What?" "What do you mean?" "Why do you leave it at her place?" "Because I don't need it in town." "Why don't you leave it at my place?" "Because we have your car there." "It's convenient." "There's a garage." "Why are you doing this?" "Please stop." "I don't want to do it anymore." "You don't live with her anymore, but your car still does." "Is that it?" "What else do you leave there?" "A toothbrush..." "Maybe a pair of slippers?" "A daughter." "Taxi." "Taxi, hold on a second." "Hold on." "I'm sorry." "Do you think it's so great for her not knowing whether you've left or if you're coming back?" "I'm not going back." "Why are you doing this?" "I want to know where you live." "I live with you." "I love you." "You'd think with all those bridges, you guys wouldn't be afraid to burn one once in a while." "Morning." "Morning." "Norman, love the elevations." "I love it." "A lot." "A lot." "Second thoughts?" "I'm still not happy with the spacing of the columns." "Is he starting that again?" "Neal, come here." "Come here." "Hey." "Come here." "Look at this." "What's it remind you of?" "My grandfather's radiator." "Only a bird sees it from there." "I see it." "Sally, tell him." "It's fabulous." "Don't worry." "Some act you two have here." "Vincent, it's a brilliant building." "Somewhere Frank Lloyd Wright is eating his heart out." "Sign off these masonry specs for the telley project." "They're going crazy over there." "It's beautiful." "You don't have to say that." "I know." "The antonia house is fully enclosed." "The plumbing and the electric are finished on the 10th." "Architectural digest wants a photo session the week of the 15th." "You'll drive down the day before." "Jerry Fairchild wants to have dinner with you." "That's the old guy?" "How'd you swing that?" "I had dad call him." "They went to school together." "You..." "You really are something." "How's that?" "The way you just keep right in there swinging away." "It's like nothing's ever changed." "I'm just protecting my investment." "Can you pick Meaghan up from ballet school?" "When, today?" "Yeah." "I have that fund raiser." "I could trade you something next week." "No, it's all right." "I can do that." "I've got to pick up the car later today." "I'll have Neal give me a ride over." "Ok." "We're not doing anything tomorrow morning, are we?" "No." "Going somewhere?" "No, I..." "Just have something to see." "Ok." "Well, we have the museum thing in the afternoon." "Yeah, yeah." "I'll be there by 3:00, no later." "All right." "Hey." "That's nice." "That sweater... it's a nice color on you." "I like it." "Don't do that." "Where'd you put that file?" "It's not up here." "Hey, girl." "They're waiting for you as usual." "And, hey, don't forget to call your mom." "Business..." "Environment..." "Astrology!" "Astrology." "Everybody ok?" "That's it." "Wait." "Where's Olivia?" "Who's Olivia?" "Nice to see you." "You should try the valet parking." "You are late." "Sorry." "Could've faxed it in." "I like the commute." "How many words?" "750." ""Women who demand equality renounce their superiority."" "We print this, you'll get a death threat from Norman mailer." "Wouldn't that be great?" "I'm not sure how the epilogue fits in." "What epilogue?" "I guess this explains why you turned me down." "Charlie, you couldn't handle it, I promise you." "Try me." "You sound like an ad for phone sex." "So what does "v" stand for?" "I found this..." "Sally?" "Yes?" "When's Meaghan's spring vacation?" "The first 2 weeks of April." "You gonna go right out to the island?" "I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it." "I'm in the middle of some project." "Have you spoken to Meaghan about this?" "I'll spend some time with her before you leave." "Well, that'll work wonders." "We've got a problem on the telley construction site." "These are minor, minor, minor things." "That's bull crap." "I'm not talking about that." "No way." "All right." "We talked about this." "Look, no parking, no meeting." "Wait, wait." "Why'd you hire me for the job anyway?" "We liked the design." "If you liked it, stay with it!" "What is the big deal?" "This is insane!" "I can't sign the lease without it." "This is impossible." "Totally impossible." "What is this crap?" "Minor problem." "Eastman, listen to us." "Read your contract." "Our attorney assures us we have the right to ask for internal..." "What about my contract?" "Fuck my contract!" "Don't push it, Eastman." "Fuck you." "Is this really a threat?" "Is this man threatening me?" "No." "He didn't..." "He didn't..." "You can bring all your goddamn goombah lawyers out of the woodwork." "I don't care." "Forget it." "Look, look." "Give me a phone." "Where's a phone?" "Where's a phone?" "You'll get your parking space." "Give it a day or so." "The man, the man's crazy." "No, it's all right, John." "We'll get it." "Very nice." "Very diplomatic." "Come on, Neal." "They don't need that shit." "They just like to come here and see how cute they can be." "They're the clients." "Great men of vision." "Everybody has to work for somebody, pal." "Even Michelangelo had to please the pope." "The pope did not ask for parking space." "You know, they're not bad guys." "They want a couple of changes." "What the hell are you taking it out on them?" "Hey." "What?" "Neal, taking what out?" "Come on, Neal." "Neal, tell me." "You have something to say to me?" "Do you have a problem?" "No, you do." "Which is?" "What?" "Got an apartment in town, got a daughter in the house, you got Sally in the office, you got the girlfriend somewhere else." "Olivia." "Her name is Olivia." "Olivia." "It's bad design." "You're supposed to have everything under one roof." "Architecture 101." "I always loved this house." "The perfect house for the perfect couple." "I'll tell you a secret." "It wasn't so perfect." "See you tomorrow." "What you have now is perfect?" "You had a family." "We weren't a family." "We..." "We were a corporation with a kid." "You know, when the boys went off to college," "Claire and I were going to travel the world, see all the museums..." "The Prado, Paris, Florence," "India even." "There was a piero della francesca in a little church in Arezzo." "The most beautiful thing in the world." "I wanted to show it to her." "We kept saying next year." "You have this future, pal." "Whatever you're going to do, do it." "Hello." "Edwina!" "Hello." "Meaghan." "Hello." "Anybody here?" "Hello." "Vincent, could you hand me my robe, please?" "Thank you." "Yeah." "You know, I think" "Predock's going to get that Santa Fe thing." "Predock?" "He's good." "Do a good job." "Not as good as you." "There's enough to go around." "Don't forget we have that thing tomorrow night." "What?" "Shit." "That, that formal event." "I don't want to go." "You have to." "Mom and dad are going to be there." "What?" "You know you're a knockout?" "You mean still?" "I mean you're a knockout." "Well, so are you." "Why don't you shave?" "Really?" "Really." "Yeah?" "Did you check on Meaghan?" "Yeah." "She's asleep." "Don't." "Don't." "Don't." "Come on." "Don't." "Honey." "We've got an answering machine." "It's probably..." "Honey, it's probably Russell." "He'll leave a message." "He'll leave a message." "Don't, don't, don't." "Don't, don't, don't." "Honey." "Sally Eastman." "Russell." "No, no, no." "We were just talking." "We were talking about what a lovely time we had at dinner with you." "You're kidding!" "They want to build the house." "Mr. Eastman." "Is something wrong?" "Edwina." "No..." "Where is Meaghan?" "Ballet class." "Aren't you picking her up?" "God." "Yes." "Yes." "Heads up, please." "Pull up." "Watch your music." "Long arm." "Here we go." "Long in the arm." "That's my dad." "And very nice tight fifth..." "So we all get on the stage in front of this director guy." "He's sitting there watching all of us onstage." "He picks one girl to do a solo." "One, for the real opera." "For the real opera." "Der Rosenkavalier or the magic flute." "Yeah." "And Mrs. Krask kind of implied it's between me and Chrissy Taylor." "I can't believe this." "That's incredible." "Honey, I'm so proud of you." "Come on." "Finish your sandwich now." "That's, that's ok." "I'm not hungry." "Meaghan, go on." "I had a big lunch." "Big lunch." "You had a big lunch?" "What?" "An apple." "You know what Dr. Lingmer said." "I'm a dancer." "I have to stay skinny." "You don't watch out, you're going to be a fainter, not a dancer." "I'll have to run onstage and carry you off." "It'll be horrible." "Come on." "That's not true." "I mean, Richard says I have a good chance of getting picked for the corps de ballet." "Richard?" "Who's Richard?" "Richard Quarry." "He's a friend of mom's." "He makes a ton of money for the opera." "Really?" "Yes." "Well." "Is he nice?" "He's ok, but, I mean, he makes pancakes in the shape of animals for breakfast." "It's like..." "Give me a break." "For breakfast?" "I mean, breakfast." "That sounds pretty serious." "I don't know." "I mean..." "She's talking about inviting him to the island for easter." "So, how is the house coming?" "Which one?" "You and Olivia." "That house." "We'll start it pretty soon." "My room?" "Your room?" "You have a room?" "You have a room in this house?" "I hope so." "Well, let me see." "You've got big windows." "You look out these windows, there is the ocean." "You got dolphins, you got whales, you got everything." "Just like the view, you are so pretty." "Come on." "Let's get out of here." "Ok." "Dad." "Yeah?" "Will you come to the island with me for easter?" "Get in." "We'll talk about it." "Honey!" "Honey!" "We have tadpoles." "We have frogs." "We have fish..." "Oysters!" "Look at this!" "Let's put a flower garden outside the bedroom window." "Roses." "No." "Camellias." "No!" "Wildflowers!" "We'll put wildflowers everywhere!" "And the summer nights." "My God." "Hey!" "Over here!" "Hey." "Hi." "How do you like your view, folks?" "Great." "Yeah." "So when can you start?" "I think I can start Monday." "I don't know." "We've had all these rains." "I don't think you want to pour a foundation and get rain damage before you get the damn thing enclosed." "What do you think?" "Yeah, that's, probably wise." "Well, guess I'll be going." "Yeah." "I'll be in touch with you." "Yeah." "Ok." "Thanks for coming." "Nice meeting you, ma'am." "Pappas is a good man." "He's one of the best." "You don't want this house." "What makes you say that?" ""No rush."" "You know, this isn't as easy as you think it is." "They've got high winds here, it's very rainy this time of year." "It's not an easy site either." "What's so complicated about a little house?" "Well, for one thing," "I'm actually gonna live in this little house." "Come here." "I want it to be right." "Really right." "We got all the time in the world, you and me." "But you said we'd get started by easter." "Well, that's not going to happen anyway." "I've got to go to the island." "Meaghan asked me." "This is a very difficult time for her right now." "She needs her father." "You wanted to see me?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'd like to come out to the island for easter, if that's ok." "What happened?" "I thought about it." "Just like to be there." "That is..." "If it doesn't interfere with..." "Anything." "What do you mean?" "Plans of yours." "You know." "No." "It's great." "Meaghan will be thrilled." "Good." "Ok." "So..." "Richard?" "Who?" "Richard." "Pancakes-in-the-shape- of-animals Richard." "You know, Richard." "He's a friend of the family." "Does she eat them at least?" "Not usually." "Good." "Good." "Glad to hear that." "Have we concluded the interrogation, then?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, all right?" "I'm sorry." "She just kind of blurted it out, and I didn't take it very well." "It threw me." "I should have told you." "I'm sorry." "What?" "You know what Neal asked out of the blue?" "He asked me whatever happened to us?" "I couldn't tell him." "I couldn't remember." "You fell in love with another woman." "I mean before that." "Look..." "We don't have to do this easter thing, you and me." "That's all right." "There's still that shutter that rattles in the wind." "The guest room." "Right." "Didn't get around to that." "Well, you better, because it's going to be your room." "What is it, your sinuses?" "Yeah." "Well, you look terrible." "Thanks." "Probably have a fever." "Sally, I'm all right." "I'm..." "You need a siesta." "You still have that hotel room?" "Where was that?" "It was..." "Denemen street." "Is it nice?" "It's a hotel room." "Hotel rooms can be nice." "No past..." "No future." "It's too personal." "What's a girl have to do to get a little action around here?" "Where did that come from?" "That is not like me, is it?" "You want a ride tonight..." "Up to the museum?" "No, thanks." "I have a lift." "Pancake man?" "Yeah." "Does he wear an apron?" "You used to be funnier." "I'll hire a writer." "I don't think this is such a good idea." "I don't think that we can come here everyday to the same office." "I- ..." "You're right." "You're fired." "Better." "Speech." "It's my turn, my turn." "I'll tell you the truth." "When she first showed up with him," "I was not convinced." "Far from it." "An art student?" "God help us!" "But she worked with him, and she straightened him out." "I'm happy to report that our daughter has never looked better." "She looks so beautiful." "So..." "Now all I want to know is where are my grandchildren?" "Dad!" "You've had a year." "Let's get moving!" "Hey!" "I'm exhausted." "All right, settle down." "Settle down." "This is not a roast." "We're proud of you..." "And we love you both." "Long life." "Long life." "I love you, daddy." "Thousands of demonstrators lined the streets of Tehran shouting, "down with America"" "and "death to Carter."" "Actions of iranian leaders and the radicals who invaded our embassy were completely unjustified." "What are you doing?" "You're supposed to be mingling." "I think I'm mingled out." "Well, it doesn't matter anyway." "You're a hit." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Tell me." "I'm listening." "Well, of course you're the most fabulous, and you can be so charming." "Yes, of course." "And, um, you're incredibly funny..." "Very talented." "Yes..." "Yeah?" "I didn't hear sexually irresistible." "My grandmother said that." "Listen to this." "The rainers, they want you to build a new summer cottage for them." "Really?" "Yes." "Isn't that nice?" "Yeah, it's great." "And, um, Randall Otis, he wants you to redo his executive offices." "God!" "That's wonderful." "Isn't it great?" "Yeah." "And I think..." "I'm not sure, but I think..." "Listen, listen." "Yeah." "I think we have lunch with Brian Kennedy." "Who's that?" "From the university." "He is the construction committee." "I mean..." "You're a genius." "You and I'll go home, change." "Great." "No." "Don't." "Yes." "No." "Yes." "Vincent." "Honey." "Yes." "Come on." "There are people downstairs." "You go and you lock that door." "I.." "Yeah." "He said he wanted grandchildren." "Listen to your father." "Vincent." "God!" "I don't think he meant tonight." "Ok." "But you be quiet, ok?" "No, I mean it." "Come on." "My parents are downstairs." "Ok." "I got it." "I..." "I'll do it." "I got it." "Don't get your fingers on my dress." "Come on." "Kiss me." "Kiss me." "That's good." "Come on." "Hurry up." "Come on." "That's good." "Ok." "That's good." "Ok." "Ok." "Ok." "Don't leave." "Stay." "My grandmother is downstairs." "Stay." "Stay." "No, no, no." "Ok." "All right." "Hurry up." "Look." "I'm all wrinkled." "Ok." "Come on, now." "Be fast, ok?" "We're waiting for you." "You sure are a handsome devil." "I mean, for an old guy." "You know, maybe the house isn't such a good idea." "Maybe it's just too soon for you..." "For us." "Maybe it's a little too complicated." "I mean it." "And it's ok." "Yes." "It is ok." "What time will you be home?" "Probably around midnight." "So late?" "Yeah." "I've got that thing at the museum." "What thing?" "The reception." "Your museum?" "Yeah." "I told you about that." "I don't remember." "Well, it's just some dumb thing for the trustees." "They parade me around like a trained seal at these things." "You want me to come?" "No, no." "I'm just going to take a run up there, make an appearance, and get out." "I will be back before midnight." "I love you." "You really want the house?" "Yes." "What's a month?" "One month." "I've got years." "120 on the side." "130. 130 now." "And 130." "130 I have." "And to 140. 140?" "At 140." "Thank you." "And to 150, to 150." "At 140 in the back." "And to 150 anywhere?" "At 150." "Thank you." "And to 160." "At 160." "At 160 now, then. 160." "Thank you." "I have the lady." "At 160." "And to 170." "Wish to go 170?" "170 now." "At 160, 170 I have." "Thank you." "And to 180." "I have 170 in the back." "And to 180. 180?" "At 170, 180. 180." "180 now?" "It's against you, ma'am." "180?" "Yes." "180." "She comes back." "Thank you." "I have 190." "At 180 and the 190." "190, 190 anywhere?" "At $180 only, first, second, third, and last times... 200." "$200 on this side." "New bidder." "The gentleman at 200." "And the 25 then." "At 200 and the 25." "I have 200 from a gentleman standing on the side." "At 200 and the 25." "At 200 and the 25." "25." "She comes back." "And the 50?" "I have 225." "The lady and the 50." "Well worth the value." "And the 50." "Yes." "And the 75." "At 250 and the 75." "And the 75 now." "At $250." "First, second, third... 300 I have." "Thank you." "And the 4." "At 300 on the side." "And the 4, and the 4 now." "300 on the side, and the 4." "And the 4." "And the 4?" "At 300, and the 4." "Well, well worth it." "500." "500!" "Yes!" "And the 6." "I have 500 on the side." "And the 6." "The 6 now." "Wish to go to 6?" "At $500." "Any advance on $500?" "It's going to go." "First, second, third, and last." "Sold. $500." "Gentleman on the side." "Thank you." "Cash or check?" "Charge, please." "Excuse me." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "I..." "It's such an unusual clock." "I couldn't resist." "I'm sorry." "I was just bidding you up." "Bidding me up?" "What, do you work for the auctioneer?" "Is that it?" "Yeah." "You ever get stuck?" "Never." "What if I hadn't come in?" "The guy with the sun hat," "I knew he'd go to 350." "Actually, I think he was out at 170." "Well." "Sir?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it's a congreve clock actually." "English..." "Kind of rare bird around here." "You don't see very many." "Phone number." "Yeah." "Keeps terrible time, but it's a very beautiful object." "There you go." "That's yours." "That's yours." "That's mine." "Hey, just a second." "Do you have a place at the island?" "No." "I didn't think so." "Why is that?" "Well, you're so fair." "I try to be." "What did you say your name was?" "Eastman, Vincent." "Well, goodbye, Mr. Eastman." "Enjoy your clock." "Right this way, ma'am." "Look, I know this is really annoying." "Have we met?" "No." "You are so familiar." "I thought I was being rather aloof." "You are, you are." "Yeah." "But I thought..." "Well, you know my name now." "I thought maybe at least I could know yours." "Olivia..." "Marshak." "Olivia Marsh..." "Are you the writer?" "Step magazine?" "Are you real..." "I can't believe this." "That's terrific." "I knew I knew you from..." "You have your picture on top of the column." "Right?" "I really... it's so nice meeting you." "I don't forget a face, ever." "I have incredible visual memory." "Would you like to sit down?" "No, no, no." "That's ok." "Yeah." "Yeah." "It's really terrific." "The... the magazine comes to the office." "Everyone reads it there." "The younger staff really likes it." "The young people." "God bless them." "Hi." "Excuse me." "Can I, get you something from the bar?" "Not just yet." "Ok." "I'll come back." "I remember this really great column that you, you did." "It was very funny." "We were passing it around the office." "It was..." "Something about..." "How you were always being invited to these really dumb dinners as the unattached female, and you would always say no, you'd rather have your solitude." "What did you call it?" "It was..." ""Hell is other people."" "Very good." "So?" "Is it true?" "Would you rather be alone?" "It depends." "Are you sorry I sat down here?" "Not yet." "How about you?" "We stole their land." "We... we decimated their culture." "We offered them welfare in exchange." "We wanted to do a building here that would celebrate, that would reassure them..." "And us, too, I think..." "Of the greatness of that culture." "You know, when I..." "When I started thinking about this project..." "And every project kind of has its own, its own approach..." "I really wanted to get into the minds of the people who lived here..." "Try, anyhow." "I wanted to feel their relationship with nature, this extraordinary feeling of divinity that they had with..." "With everything around them." "The whole natural world as a divine church." "I'll tell you a little secret, if you promise not to tell anybody." "I think there's something else here besides the concrete, stone, and steel that's holding this place up." "Anyhow, it's here." "It's done." "We're very proud of this." "Please walk around and enjoy." "You paid for it." "But don't touch anything." "Thank you very much." "I was real articulate." "Vincent, Vincent, we're proud of you." "Thank you." "More than we expected." "You're very sweet." "Thank you, thank you." "Thanks." "I'd still rather draw something than explain it." "What was that..." "That school, that class?" "They wanted..." "The term paper was due." "I asked if I could draw it." "European history." "18th century." "Right." "You were going to draw the entire French revolution." "Me and delacroix." "Great work, Vincent." "Thank you." "See you." "Bye." "Thank you." "What was the Professor's name?" "Ludke." "Hans ludke." "Had a terrible toupee." "It was over his eyes." "And he had a thing for you." "He did not." "Stop it." "Sally, wonderful." "Congratulations." "Beautiful job." "You're very kind." "Thank you." "Reginald, thanks a lot." "See you Wednesday, Reginald." "Everyone knew it." "Everyone talked about it." "The guy was a mess." "He had a breakdown when we got married." "He did a flip-flop." "Pulled the rug right out from over him." "Come on." "You're not leaving." "Pretty soon." "I don't think" "I can do this too much longer." "Somebody will talk to you." "Come on." "You have to see archer before you go." "Sally..." "Come on." "Please?" "For me?" "Congratulations." "It's a marvelous building." "Thank you." "As a matter of fact," "I wanted to call you about something." "New recital hall at the university." "I think you'd be perfect for it." "I don't think we've met." "Richard Quarry." "Pancake man." "Excuse me?" "You make pancakes for my daughter." "Yes." "I, suppose I do." "She's a lovely girl." "What the hell do you know about my daughter?" "I appreciate it." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thanks." "What a beautiful job." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thanks." "Nice job." "Nice job." "Thank you." "Great work, Vincent." "Congratulations." "We'll talk later." "Excuse me." "How did you get here?" "I flew." "There's an airport a few Miles from here." "I thought we could drive home together." "Jesus." "What's the matter?" "They don't like it." "They like it." "It's beautiful." "Let's get a drink, ok?" "Excuse us." "Excuse us." "Hi." "Yes, ma'am?" "Red wine." "And for you, sir?" "No, thank you." "Club soda." "Here you go." "Thank you." "What's the matter with you?" "Sally is here." "And Meaghan." "That's cozy." "Maybe we could all go out for pizza." "You're drunk." "Just a little bottle at the airport." "Are you trying to hide me?" "Because if you are, it's not gonna work." "I'm not trying to hide you." "I just wish you'd told me." "It's a very important..." "I know it's an important reception for the trustees." "Meaghan... a trustee?" "So young, yet so accomplished." "Ok." "Let's..." "Let's go over here." "Where?" "We're going home." "No, we're not." "I just got here." "I want to meet the trustees." "Stop it." "No." "I have a better idea." "Do you have one of those little offices, little director's offices here?" "Upstairs." "Why?" "We could go, and we could lock the door, and we could do it on the rug." "You know, a little ceremonial quickie." "Would you please grow up?" "For Christ's sake, grow up." "Ok." "I won't make a sound." "Just like Sally." "Go to hell." "I will as soon as I figure out how I fit into all this." "Want to know how you fit in?" "Come here." "You want to know how you fit in?" "You want to know?" "You don't!" "You do not fit into this!" "Now, I work with Sally." "Sally and I did this project." "We are very proud of this project." "It's not about you." "It's about the museum." "Ok?" "The museum." "Not everything in the world is about you." "Hello." "I'm Sally Eastman." "Sally, this is Olivia Marshak." "How are you?" "Fine." "I read your column." "It's very good." "It's very clever." "Thanks." "I recognized you from your photo." "You, too?" "Excuse me?" "It's a passport photo." "Really?" "It's very nice." "I like it." "You know what they say..." "If you look like your passport photo, you're not well enough to travel." "Hi, Meaghan." "Hi." "Well, it's nice to have met you..." "At last." "Likewise." "Come on." "Ready?" "Yes." "How about you?" "I guess that's what you call a home court advantage." "Vincent, I'm sorry." "I got drunk." "I got a little crazy." "Maybe I kind of suspected they'd be there." "I just wanted to see what I was up against." "Do you understand?" "I like her, but I can't give you what you had with them." "Summers on a boat with Meaghan." "16 years." "All that history." "We don't have a history." "We can make one." "Vincent, I can make you so happy." "If you..." "I swore I wasn't going to do this." "Look..." "It's going to be all right." "We'll build a fire." "Life is so... hard." "I got to go back to the museum." "Tonight?" "Yeah." "I've got a meeting up there in the morning." "You know what?" "I think you liked what happened tonight." "Me and Sally with you in the middle." "Are you getting out?" "Yes." "I think so." "Watch your head." "Watch your head." "Why don't you take your coat off?" "I'll get a towel." "There you go, yeah." "Nice." "Very nice." "This is nice, isn't it?" "Yes." "Yes, she is a nice boat." "I think so." "Yep, she is a..." "Swan 44, designed by Sparkman  Stevens, about 20 years old." "Deck is teak, interior is teak..." "Broad in the beam," "I had to look hard to find..." "Listen, you're a real boat person, I can tell." "My Uncle used to say going on a boat was like being in jail with a chance of drowning." "I like that one." "Yes." "You're married." "It shows?" "Like a neon sign." "What about you?" "Not anymore." "Well..." "Down the hatch." "So, how long have you been married?" "It'll be 16 years in October." "Any children?" "13." "You have 13 children?" "No, I meant..." "No, I..." "I have..." "I have a little girl who's 13." "Her name is Meaghan." "So, you want to take me to bed, is that it?" "Why don't you just come out and say what's on your mind?" "Share it with me." "Why don't you?" "Why don't we just trade stories?" "I think I've heard yours." "Look, I'm sorry." "I'm not very good at this." "You're doing fine." "So, what happened with the marriage?" "We met in Florence." "I was on a scholarship." "We got married, we had Meaghan, we started a company, and we've been working together ever since." "That's it?" "Essentially, yes." "I must have missed something." "Me, too." "Shall we go?" "No." "I'll have another." "Shit." "Ok, Ed." "So long, babe." "Thanks." "See you." "Hi." "Thanks." "What'll it be?" "Bourbon..." "With some water on the side and a cup of coffee, please." "Still raining?" "Yeah." "Can you tell me why we don't all just move to Arizona?" "Well, they say..." "That rainy climates are good for the complexion." "Yeah, well, it's not my skin that I'm worried about, it's my sanity." "How long have you known her?" "About 2 months." "We met in August." "Do I know her?" "Her name is Olivia Marshak." "Marshak?" "Marshak." "She's a journalist." "You must have known something was going on." "Yes." "I thought you were working late." "Are you in love with her?" "I'm sorry." "Isn't that the traditional question?" "I say, "are you in love with her?"" "And then you say, "well, I don't know." "I'm very confused." "I need some time."" "And then I respond..." "Look..." "I..." "I didn't plan this." "I believe that." "What does that mean?" "I'm the planner." "You're the creative one." "Isn't that the deal?" "Isn't that what this whole relationship is based on?" "I'm going to a hotel." "Really?" "Now, just when we're finally really getting to know each other." "Vincent, are you all right?" "What do you mean, am I all right?" "Honey, you're acting a little crazy." "What the hell is wrong with you?" "Don't you know what I just said to you?" "I love another woman!" "I don't care." "I don't care." "I'm leaving you." "Do you understand that?" "I heard you." "You're amazing." "Really?" "And how is that?" "Did you ever consider maybe, just maybe, if you'd just felt this a little more, a little more upset, it wouldn't have happened!" "Don't you get angry at me because you're fucking another woman." "It lacks conviction." "I'm going to take a bath." "You will call me tomorrow, and we'll talk this over, ok?" "Sally..." "Hey." "Sally?" "Don't move." "There's glass on the floor." "Don't move." "I'll help you out." "Don't..." "Don't touch me." "Sally, don't move." "Just leave me alone." "Don't you touch me!" "Sally, I don't want you to get hurt." "Come here." "I hate you!" "Stop it." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "It's all right." "It's all right." "It's ok." "It's ok." "I was so looking forward to meeting you." "Your father's told me a lot about you." "You're taking ballet?" "Yeah." "Do you like it?" "Well, you know, I'm studying it." "Why don't we order?" "Meaghan, this is not a contest." "I'm not trying to replace anybody, not you and not your mother." "I just want to make your father happy." "I can't do that if you're going to fight me." "Do you understand?" "Then what do you say?" "You'll give it a shot?" "Sure..." "I guess." "I almost forgot." "I have something for you." "My gosh." "Is this really his handwriting?" "I can't believe it!" ""To Meaghan." "Keep dancing." "Mikhail Baryshnikov." I can't believe it." "Where did you find this?" "I interviewed him last year." "Who do you think you're dealing with?" "Mister..." "Do you want a sweet roll?" "That's for me?" "Well..." "Thank you." "Aren't you going to eat it?" "Yes!" "This is it!" "This is the one I was looking for." "Thank you." "Bye." "Bye-bye." "Looks like more rain." "Yeah." "Are you lost?" "No." "Grandchild?" "Beautiful." "Really beautiful." "Grandpa, come on, it's late." "Please deposit 75 cents for the next 3 minutes." "Hi." "Hi. 6723." "Shit." "I'm not in." "You know what to do." "Hi." "It's me." "I was driving around, and..." "there was this guy..." "He was delivering milk." "He had this little girl with him, this most incredible little girl with red hair." "She had red hair and these eyes were just..." "She reminded me of you, and I was..." "I don't know, something happened." "It just clicked." "Everything came together, and I..." "I don't want to lose you!" "I can't lose you!" "I want to be with you!" "So let's do this thing." "All right?" "Let's get married." "I want..." "I want kids," "I want..." "I want a family," "I want the house," "I want the whole thing." "And..." "Look, look, this is what I want you to do, all right?" "Listen to me." "I want you to get in a car." "I want you to drive up, up to the bedford inn." "It's about 2 Miles north of the museum, and wait for me there." "Ok?" "Can you do that?" "Promise me." "Do that." "And I was wrong." "It is about you." "It is about you." "Everything's about you." "It always was about you." "Only you..." "What else?" "Marry me." "I said that already." "It's about..." "It's quarter after 8:00." "I look like shit..." "But I'm crazy about you." "I'm always going to be crazy about you." "By the way, this is Vincent..." "Vincent Eastman." "God!" "Yes!" "2..second word." "No!" "Second word." "Second word is..." "Your tushie." "She has a really good tushie." "No!" "A tail!" "Yes!" "It's a tail!" "A tail!" "Ok." "Tale of something something something." "Historical novel, 5 words." "Before." "After." ""V." Victory." "Vincent." "Eyes." "Two." "Two, yes!" "Two, two." "A tale of two..." "Something." "Ok." "Historical novel, 5 words, fourth word is..." "I can't believe..." "No." "Don't say anything!" "I can do it!" "I can do it." "I can do it." "Come on, come on, come on." "No, really." "I can do it, I swear." "I swear." "Give it to me." "Come on, baby." "Go, go, go." "Sounds like..." "Titties!" "Yes!" "A tale of two titties!" "I never read that." "A tale of two titties?" "I don't..." "It won't start." "Start it." "Stupid..." "I'm trying." "Start it." "It must be the battery." "God!" "Start it!" "You ok?" "Yeah, I think so." "He bounced off this truck." "He's got to be down the road." "Bobby, where you going?" "Bobby!" "Bobby, come here!" "Bobby, look out for that truck!" "There he is!" "Bobby!" "Stay up here." "Patty, see if this guy's got a CB." "Call an ambulance." "What's the problem?" "There's been an accident." "You got a CB?" "Yes." "Call an ambulance, please." "Anybody copy?" "Over." "Why the hell did you stop?" "I didn't stop." "I stalled." "You forced him off the road." "I didn't force him off." "He was doing 100." "There was nothing I could do." "It all happened in a couple seconds." "Funny, I don't hurt anywhere." "My mind's functioning." "My name is Vincent Eastman... 42 years old." "I live at..." "I live at..." "Yes, Vincent, where do you live?" "I want to know where you live." "Pull it open!" "I'll hold his head." "You grab his shoulders, all right?" "You guys grab his legs." "Easy now..." "Gently." "Let's get him out of here." "Don't jiggle him around." "Take it easy." "Down easy." "Put him down gently." "Very gently." "Is he bad, do you think?" "I don't think so." "His eyes are open." "He's in shock probably." "Bobby, get that blanket from the van, ok!" "I just need to have a rest for a while." "I got to call Olivia and tell her I'm going to be late." "Good morning, Olivia." "Hi." "This is 6723." "I'm not in." "You know what to do." "Hi." "It's me." "I was just driving around, and, there was this guy, he was delivering milk." "He had this little girl with him, this most incredible little girl with red hair..." "What have we got?" "We got a 42-year-old male." "His name's Vincent Eastman." "He was involved in a rollover mva." "Was he wearing a seat belt?" "Yes, he was extricated from the vehicle by..." "I propose a toast." "Hear!" "Hear!" "I propose that you have a long, happy, healthy, and prosperous life!" "Thanks." "Was he responsive coming in?" "He's not responding appropriately." "What's his GCI?" "About 10." "Meds, allergies?" "I don't know." "The R.C.H.P. are notifying his family." "Your client asked me for top-quality material." "Where do you want me to get that?" "Yeah?" "There's a call for Vincent." "Well, he's not here yet." "Could you take a message?" "About him, I mean." "They asked if this was his place of business." "Who did?" "The highway police." "On one." "Ok." "You get his pressure?" "About 100." "Right pupil's dilated." "We're gonna have to intubate." "I need the neurosurgical resident in respiratory, stat." "Trauma room 3."

"How old are these?" "About 20 minutes." "He's responsive?" "Not really." "Right pupil is dilated but not fixed." "Has he been prepped?" "Yes, sir." "I'll go in and relieve the pressure." "How old is he?" "42." "In good shape?" "Better than me." "No reason he can't handle it." "Ok, let's do it." "Officer, can I go up on the shoulder?" "It's just gonna be a minute." "Ok, ma'am?" "Let's go." "Let's go." "What happened?" "Stay off the road, please, ma'am." "The man that was in that car, where did they take him?" "Local hospital in abbotsford." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Hey, lady!"

"That's it." "He's an architect." "Good." "Looks good." "Looks really good." "Ok, we can close." "Doctor, he's going flat." "Hey." "You didn't open it, did you?" "Open what?" "The letter." "What letter?" "I didn't mail it." "I never mailed it!" "What didn't you mail?" "I'll talk to them downstairs, see what has to be done." "I'll phone for a taxi." "I have to call Meaghan." "Tell her we'll be late." "I'll do it." "Just tell her we'll be late." "Ok." "Mrs. Eastman?" "Where can I find a Vincent Eastman?" "Just a minute." "Vincent Eastman?" "Could you excuse me for a second?" "I'm sorry." "No." "He didn't say anything." "We both got here too late." "How did you happen to be up here?" "I was just on my way to see the museum again, and I saw the car being pulled up on the road." "Well..." "Good-bye, then."
