And Then Came Love Page #6

---

Bye.

Who died?.

So my assistant is making reservations,

you going?.

-Where?.

-Weehawken, the new off-Broadway.

Are you?. You hate Jersey.

It's Oscar Wilde. I can't resist.

Besides, it's the opening.

May be our only chance to see it.

It's beneath you.

Did you see Puppetry of the Penis? I did.

Come on. Why not?.

Because....

-Because--

-I think I know.

And I think you wanna go.

And I think you are a naughty girl.

You can't hide behind that ring.

You're totally wrong. I love Ted.

And I think it's you

who's the naughty boy.

Touch.

Come on. It'll be fun.

Besides, with you getting married,

it may be our last hurrah in a theater.

WOMAN:

See, I don't have a problem.

Go. Go!

[BOY CRYlNG]

Darling, you have no idea

how happy you've made me.

-My God, that was perfect.

-You think so?.

KlKl:
You're great.

PAUL:
I'm worried about the accent.

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Your son just pushed my boy

down the slide.

-Did not.

-Did so.

-Your son's a bully. He should be on a leash.

-He's not our son. I'm just the nanny.

Whatever. Just keep better track of him.

My boy could have gotten very hurt.

Are you kidding me?. Your boy is fine.

-Watch him.

-Watch him?.

-You want me to watch him?.

-Jake, let's go someplace else.

-Mothers. They can be so overprotective.

-She's totally doing her son a disservice.

JAKE:
Paul.

-I thought you were gonna slug her.

-I'm on edge. I'm nervous about the play.

JAKE:
Paul!

-You'll be great.

-I hope I don't forget my lines.

You'll be great.

-Jake?.

-Oh, my God, where is he?.

Jake?.

-Jake!

-Here I am.

You don't ever do that again.

That's not cool. Do you hear me?.

KlKl:

Hey, where are you going?. Stop!

JAKE:

Leave me alone.

-Leave me alone. Unh!

-Oh, shoot.

KlKl:
It's okay.

-Are you okay?. Jake, Jake, you okay?.

You all right?. Oh!

It's okay. It's okay. Ew.

It's okay.

Everything all right?. Are you all right?.

Oh, my poor baby.

Everything's fine, Ms. Davidson.

He needed a few stitches.

His tooth is loose, so you probably want

to get him to a dentist.

I'm gonna have a cool scar.

[ALL CHUCKLlNG]

What happened?.

I fell when Paul was chasing me.

-I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

-No, it was all my fault.

JULlE:
Paul was chasing you?.

-Paul did nothing wrong.

It was an accident. He tripped.

Jake was running really fast.

Oh, well,

you need to watch him better, huh?.

Maybe not be so distracted.

What were the two of you thinking?.

What was I thinking, trusting you?.

[KlKl SCOFFS]

Fine. This job is so not worth it.

And you?.

Does the tooth fairy come

when it's just a little loose?.

I guess we'll have to find out.

So I fired her. I mean, I had to.

It could have been a lot worse.

Only problem is, I don't have time to--

Is there a chance you could pick him up

after school tomorrow...

...and spend some time with him?.

Yeah, I'd love to, but I got lunch

with my editor tomorrow...

...and Photoshop all afternoon...

...and then my flight.

Yeah, yeah, it's okay.

My mom will do it, I'm sure.

She lives to be my savior.

Why don't you let me be your savior?.

[KNOCKlNG]

-Who's that?.

-I have no idea.

What are you--?.

How did you get up here?.

-I'm sorry. Can I see him?.

JULlE:
You just can't come in.

-No. He's asleep.

PAUL:
I'll be quiet. I promise.

-Who the hell was that?.

-It's okay. Just give me a second.

[WHlSPERlNG]

Who is this guy?.

[WHlSPERlNG]

Oh. Uh, it's-- That-- That's Paul.

Um, Paul works with Kiki.

-They-- With Jake and Kiki.

-Kiki.

Paul, this is Ted.

Ted, Paul.

-Hey.

-Hey.

Wow. Your work sounds incredible.

Yeah. It's always an adventure.

Tomorrow night, I'm heading off to China

to photograph the Great Wall.

So you've found it.

Well, it's pretty hard to miss.

They say you can see it from....

No. I meant flow. In your work.

Csikszentmihalyi.

Chick sent you where?. I'm sorry?.

[JULlE SlGHlNG]

She's great, isn't she?.

Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

[YAWNlNG]

Oh, it's 2:
00.

Damn.

Missed the last train.

So where you sleeping?.

[PAUL GRUNTS]

I'll tell you what.

You can crash at my place.

She gets up too early anyhow.

I'll show you my book on Marco Polo.

Whoa!

Mommy, the tooth fairy

brought me a Nintendo DS.

-What?.

-I got a dollar and a DS.

Wow.

It's just like Paul's, Mommy.

Is Paul the tooth fairy?.

Paul's not the tooth fairy.

Let's get ready to go to school.

JULlE:

Whoa, whoa.

Grandma's gonna pick you up

tonight, okay?.

-Okay, I love you, Mommy.

-I love you too.

Okay, bye.

PAUL:

Miss Fairfax, ever since I've met you...

...I've admired you more than any girl

I've ever met since I met you.

[AUDlENCE LAUGHlNG]

We live, as I hope you know, Mr. Worthing,

in an age of ideals.

And my ideal has always been

to love someone of the name Ernest.

There's something in that name

that inspires absolute confidence.

The moment Algernon mentioned to me

that he had a friend called Ernest...

...I knew I was destined to love you.

-Do you really love me, Gwendolyn?.

-Passionately.

Oh, darling, you don't know

how happy you've made me.

WOMAN 1 :
I heard there's a great place to....

WOMAN 2:
Yeah, I know.

WOMAN 3:

That was so funny.

WOMAN 4:

Yeah, he did good.

Hey! You made it.

-Oh, wow!

STUART:
Oh!

-You look great.

-Oh, thanks. I--

-Oh, I'm sorry. Okay.

-You were great.

-Really?. You know, I felt great.

-You should.

It means so much to me you came.

I'm so happy.

Really. Very nice work.

STUART:
Oh.

PAUL:
Ha-ha-ha.

Hey, come with me to the cast party.

Meet everybody.

-It's at a bar across the street.

-I don't know.

-Will there be warm beer and stale nuts?.

-Stalest.

Julie, come on. How can you resist?.

[SlNGlNG "" LOVE lN VAlN""]

-Dance with me.

-Oh, God, no.

-Come on, it'll be a goof.

-Oh, come on. I feel old enough as it is.

I'll dance.

-No. That's okay.

-Come on.

Go.

-Thank you. I really gotta be going now.

-Please. Wait.

One song, okay?. Promise?.

One.

[BAND PLAYlNG A SLOW SONG]

-Oh, come on.

-Hey, you come on.

What are we, in junior high school?.

And by the way, where were you

when I was in junior high?. Pre-K?.

Aww.

" I know you're lonely."

[SlNGlNG]

I Know you're feeling lonely

You know, it doesn't bother me.

-What?.

-The age thing.

[JULlE SlGHS]

Hey, one dance.

You promised.

So, um, Jake like my DS?.

Yeah, but he thinks

you're the tooth fairy now.

[PAUL LAUGHlNG]

JULlE:
Mm.

-Hey, it's all right.

Just relax a little bit.

So, what's up with Jake's dad?.

He must have really hurt you.

What?. What?.

Did I say something wrong?.

No. I just gotta go home.

[GAME BEEPlNG]

-Morning. Want some coffee?.

-I can't keep this up.

Maybe some coffee will help.

Jake, darling, will you leave Mommy

and me for a moment, please?.

I love Jake.

You know how much I love him.

But I can't keep this up,

staying in the city and all.

I have my own life.

-I know, Mom. It's just temporary.

-I'm not a young woman anymore.

-I can't keep running around--

-I know. I get it.
