Everyone Says I Love You Page #8

- I'm serious.

- Yeah?

Paris?

And then Bora Bora.

Well, well, yes, Bora

Bora, but Paris first.

Then we'd work our way down

to a least one of the Boras.

We can live in your garret.

Uh, t-technically,

w-when I say "garret"...

I.. It's funny. It is a garret, and yet...

- And drink wine and eat snails

'til the dawn comes up. - Snails?

Yeah. Remember?

You said how you also loved waking

up in the middle of the night,

...sitting in bed eating snails,

drinking wine. - Yes, yes. Yes.

I said it was such a great coincidence.

Well, they're... they're mollusks.

I-I-I love, uh,

a good mollusk.

[Giggles]

W-W-What do you mean,

the wedding is off?

- Exactly what I said. I gave back his ring.

- Why?

Because there's someone else

I can't get out of my mind.

- But y-you're in love with

Holden! - No, Dad, I'm not.

At least I'm not sure I am, and I can't

cheat on him while I figure it out.

- Cheat on Holden? He's gonna

be your husband! - No, Dad!

- In November. I'll show you. I got receipts from

caterers. - Bob, calm your denial mechanism.

It's not that Holden isn't wonderful.

It's just that somebody else has come

into my life and I must see where it goes.

- It wouldn't be fair to Holden if I didn't.

- Oh, fine! Okay.

Now that we've bought you

this fabulous wedding dress,

would you mind telling me who this new

Prince Charming is that suddenly emerged?

- Well, you don't kn... You do, but not

like I do. - I'm sick.

- Honey, what's the matter?

- My esophagus is going into spasms.

- If my necktie goes up and down...

- Look what you're doing to your father.

Tell me who has come

between you and Holden.

- Well, he's bright and charming...

- Yeah?

and rough to the outside,

but that can change.

- Are you gonna tell us, or is this

like a game show? - [Clears Throat]

You remember Charles Ferry?

- Pardon me?

- Charles Ferry.

For a minute I thought

she said Charles Ferry.

- Now my esophagus is starting to move.

- Charles Ferry?

- Honey!

- The escaped convict?

- Skylar! - Ex-convict.

He has a college degree.

No, Skylar, let me tell you something.

You're having a psychotic

episode. You need help!

- You need shock treatment, or

industrial-strength Prozac. - Calm down.

Mom, you understand.

There is something incredibly

animalistic about him.

- We'll turn him over to the zoo.

- Oh, honey.

- And yet he's like a child.

- Okay, we'll make it the children's zoo.

- He's a criminal!

- Mom, I'm shocked.

You've done nothing but

sing his praises for months.

Well, yes, as a social symbol.

But as an actual person

to be with my child?

- How are you going to go out with this man?

- Guys, get out of here.

You can't get behind

him. He won't let you!

You try to scratch his

back, he'll knife you!

[Skylar] Under all that veneer

is a very soulful young attorney.

In fact, I was hoping you might

find a place for him in your firm.

[Bob] I'll make him treasurer.

He can share a room with Holden.

Speaking as a woman, Holden

can be very animal too.

- Yes, Mom, but it's of the gerbil family.

- Oh, that's not...

- Get out of here!

- As your father, I forbid you...

to see this man Charles Ferry.

You will marry Holden as planned.

As head of this house, I

command it! I decree it!

Thou shalt wed thy intended!

- Okay, come on, let's have...

- That's it.

Let's get a drink. You're

sounding tiresomely Biblical.

"Tiresomely Biblical"? What is

this, Noel Coward with hockey?

- She's not gonna waste her life like this

on a gangster. - Oh, she's a grown woman!

- You!

- What?

- You got him out of jail!

- This is my fault now?

- [Sobbing]

- Honey, what? What's wrong?

Jeffrey Vandermost asked

Lane out and not me.

- Ohh.

- Oh, my God!

How am I gonna face

Arnold and Lynn Spence?

Is that all you're thinking about?

We bought a race horse together.

He's gonna want to cut it in half!

We both liked him, and today

he asked if we could talk alone,

so I got all excited.

And then he asked me if I thought

Lane would go out with him...

if he asked her to a

dance in Connecticut...

and that he had a mad crush on her.

Ohh. These things happen. Feelings

are feelings and sometimes...

# I'm thru with love

I'll never fall again #

What are you saying? You're 14

years old. You'll fall again.

Oh, you guys, I am so sorry.

I thought you'd be happy for me.

I hope in time you understand.

- # I'm thru with love I'll never fall

again # - What are you singing about?

You're not in love with Holden, are you?

# I'm thru with love #

# I'll never fall again #

# Said adieu to love #

# Don't ever call again ##

[D.J. Narrating] While Skylar was breaking

up with Holden, - ## [Continues]

I broke up with Ken, the

guy I met at the airport,

because I met this rap singer.

I mean, this guy is just

so talented and sexy...

and, you know, he just says it all.

# Check it I'm thru with love #

- # I'm thru with all you motherfuckers #

- # Yeah #

# Feelin' mad, shitty

Gotta burn down the city #

# Takin' over for the brothers I'm

raisin' a ruckus up on you suckers #

# Gotta burn it up Come

on, blow it up, yeah ##

[Ferry] # Your eyes of blue #

# Your kisses too #

# I never knew what they could do #

[Ferry, Skylar] # I can't believe #

# That you're in love with me ##

[Ferry] I love the country.

The air smells so fresh.

Um, Charles, where did you get

the money to pay for everything,

and... and this car?

Uh, well, you know, loans.

Oh, this is a great idea to

take a walk here. It's beautiful.

Yeah, yeah. What time is it?

Um, 4:
00.

Oh, good.

I just thought you'd wanna walk

around a little, see the fall leaves.

Oh, they are stunning.

It's amazing what you miss in the joint.

There's no seasons. It's

just one long, gray nothin'.

What are your plans for the future?

- I can't imagine you'd wanna work in the

restaurant forever. - You're right.

Work all day for what? A few

lousy bucks. I got bigger plans.

- Like pursuing a law career.

- What?

A lawyer?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure.

[Bird Twittering]

- You hear somethin'?

- A bird?

[Men Shouting]

All right, here they

come. Timing's perfect.

- Move it!

- Come on! We gotta get outta here!

What do you want me to do, put

a pole up my ass? I'm goin'!

[Laughs]

- Back in action! [Chuckles]

- Way to go, Ferry!

- You got anything lined up?

- Yeah, yeah, come on.

- Who's she?

- She's a friend.

[Gunshots]

[Gunshot]

Why'd you have to shoot?

You didn't have to shoot!

- He was emptyin' the register!

- I got nervous!

[Skylar] Charles, just let me out

at the corner of Park and 93rd.

[Gunshots Continue]

Charles, let me out of this car!

I want out of this car!

I will be quiet! Just let me out!

- Shut her up, or I'll shut her up!

- [Skylar Screams]

[Sirens Continue]

Get out!

[Car Speeds Off]

[D.J. Narrating] In October, Von

finally got up the nerve and left Greg.

She bought a ticket on Air France

and took the first plane to Paris.

By this time Dad had given up
