Anything for Love Page #8

Hey, loser.

Didn't have anything

better to do on your day off?

Not a chance.

You're gonna do great in there.

How do you know for sure?

Because you're not

the kind of guy who quits

when you're in the middle

of something.

I've been

looking for those.

So, what

do you think?

Oh.

It's a very ambitious project.

400,000 square feet

of retail space.

A casino

and an amphitheater

in the hotel.

We call it the lake Tahoe

of the midwest.

How about the residents?

It's going to drastically

change the character

of the whole area.

Are they not

opposed to it?

Naturally.

But they'll come around.

You're so sure.

Everybody has a price.

I'm glad you're taking

an interest.

With your father

out of commission,

we need someone

from your side

to steer this thing.

You know, Katherine...

I, uh, wanted

to let you know

none of this has changed

the way I feel about you.

How do you feel about me?

What do you mean?

Do you love me?

Yeah.

Sure...

Yes, of course.

Why?

If you could name a reason.

Well, uh...

Let's see.

Where to begin?

You are a brilliant

businesswoman.

Strong-willed,

but not unreasonable.

Sensible.

Um, we share a lot of

the same interests,

ambitions, political views,

and, of course,

I find you very attractive,

physically.

And you're very spirited.

Always keeping me on my toes.

Okay.

What if...

What if I had Debbie's job?

But you don't.

No...

I could if I could type.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Debbie, cover me.

Where are you going?

I'm going to see a guy

about my gist.

Her gist?

Gist?

Hi.

So, he's in stable condition.

The valve surgery

went very well.

Okay?

We'll let you know when

you can go and see him.

Okay.

Nurse Cooper,

he was asking about you

when he woke up.

I'm sure he'll be

glad to know

that you're

still here.

Katherine, listen...

You listen.

Daddy, my whole life,

I've done things your way.

I went to the schools you chose,

I studied the things

you considered important,

I took the jobs you thought

would best advance

my career,

and I've been

very lucky,

because you've made

good decisions for me.

Katherine...

But listen,

you also taught me

that a good deal

isn't necessarily the one

that makes

the most sense on paper.

Sometimes,

you need to

lay the numbers aside

and trust your instincts.

What I'm trying to say is...

Jack...

He's the one for me.

And at the end of the day,

this is just one

that I need to trust

my instincts on,

and my gut is telling me

if I pass up on this deal,

I will regret it

for the rest of my life.

I gather from your tone,

you don't care

to hear my opinion.

I love you,

but I'm not that little girl

on the pony anymore.

I can take care of myself.

I couldn't agree more.

Thanks.

Now go get him.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Is nurse Cooper here today?

It's his day off,

but I think he might be here

visiting a patient.

Oh.

Would it be possible

to page him?

Oh, sorry, not

when he's off duty.

Right.

"'...do you want to get

a table inside

"and have a drink or something?'

"I said to her finally.

That's the most... '"

hi.

I'm paging

nurse Cooper.

Please report to

the cardiac care unit asap?

Or "stat."

Katherine?

Who's Katherine?

She's my girlfriend.

I mean, she was,

when she was Debbie.

It's...

It's kind of a long story.

It's not a medical emergency.

It's more of a-a...

Of a love emergency?

Well what are you

waiting for, cinderella?

Your pumpkin

to turn into a carriage?

I don't know if you can

hear me, Jack, but, uh...

I'm sorry.

What the devil is going on?

I had no right to judge you,

especially when

you'd already shown me

the kind of man you are.

I'm in love with you.

And I didn't

fall in love with you

because I thought

you were a doctor.

I love you

because of

who you are.

So...

Sorry!

Um... okay.

That was beautiful, honey.

Thanks.

Attention all visitors.

Would Katherine Benson

please report to

the South end of the hall?

Stat.

Well, it looks like

you just won yourself

the prize of the century.

Yeah.

Go on and claim him.

Alone, preferably.

You heard all that?

I heard all that.

Okay.

Jack, I...

No, wait.

I want you to know

that I never meant

for things to go

the way that they did.

I realized that

you are the woman

that I want to share

the rest of my life with,

and I was scared.

And I promise that I will always

tell you the truth

even when it's hard.

Me too.

And every single day,

I will be the best man

I know to be.

I love you,

Katherine.
