Excuse Me for Living Page #9

---

- PLEASE DON'T THINK ABOU ANYBODY BUT US.

WE'RE ALL THAT COUNTS.

I'M SELLING MY FATHER'S

BUSINESS.

I'M CHANGING

MY LAW PRACTICE,

JUST TO BECOME A WOMAN

YOU CAN BE PROUD OF.

I'M NOT THE SAME

PERSON ANYMORE.

- I KNOW--

- PLEASE DON'T EXPLAIN.

YOU'RE A YOUNG

AND BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, ZOE.

IT'S NOT FOR ME

TO JUDGE.

I JUST CAN'T TAKE PAR IN THE LIFE YOU'RE

ENMESHED IN.

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW

HOW MUCH YOU'VE MEANT TO ME.

OH, COME ON, BARRY.

HEAR ME OUT, WON'T YOU?

NO. PLEASE.

EXTEND TO THOMAS MY MEA CULPA

FOR MOVING YOUR THINGS AGAIN.

THIS WAS MY FAULT, ZOE.

PUT HIM IN A STRAITJACKET.

I TOLD YOU NO TO LEAVE HERE.

YOU'RE GOING

STRAIGHT TO PRISON THIS TIME.

OKAY, GO!

HEAD FOR THE HOSPITAL, LAURA.

GO, GO, GO, GO, GO.

THE POLICE WILL BE

WAITING FOR YOU!

WELL, AT LEAST KNOWING YOU

HAS GOT ME PUBLISHED.

THE NEW YORKER BOUGHT MY STORY

ABOUT A RICH COKE HEAD.

THEY THINK IT'S FICTION.

CONGRATULATIONS, LOVER.

I KNEW MY SELF-ABUSE

WOULD DO SOMEONE GOOD.

DOES HE WIN THE GIRL

IN THE END?

NO. HE'S A COMPLETE

LOSER.

IT'S CALLED "A SNOWBALL'S

CHANCE IN HELL."

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO

CHANGE THE TITLE

WHEN I TELL YOUR FATHER

THAT I INTEND TO MARRY YOU.

IN A PIG'S EYE.

I WOULDN'T MARRY YOU

IN A MILLION YEARS.

YOU'RE A SELFISH,

SUICIDAL, NE'ER-DO-WELL ADDIC

- WITHOUT A JOB.

- FLATTERER.

YOU MIGHT BE SOME RICH KID,

BUT YOU'RE IMPOSSIBLE.

AND TAKE YOUR HAND

OFF MY BREAST.

WE COULD CRASH.

OH, IT'S STUCK.

YOU LOVE ME.

DON'T DO THIS.

MY FATHER'S TOO ILL

FOR YOU TO UPSET HIM.

WHAT IF I ASK:

HIS PERMISSION?

YOUR CHANCES ARE ZILCH THA MY FATHER WOULD SAY YES TO YOU.

AND IF HE DOES?

OKAY, MR. KNOW-IT-ALL.

THEN MY ANSWER IS YES.

FAT CHANCE YOU HAVE.

BEN, THANK GOD

YOU'RE HERE.

DON'T LET ANY POLICEMEN

INTO THIS ROOM.

I AM A POLICEMAN.

YOU KNOW WE HAVE

BETTER THINGS TO DO

THAN CHASE YOUR BEHIND

ALL OVER THIS ISLAND.

JUST GIVE ME:

FIVE MINUTES, BEN.

THEN I'LL GO PEACEFULLY.

GO AHEAD.

- DADDY.

- HMM.

OH, HELLO, SWEETHEART.

- DANNY, HOW ARE YOU?

- GOOD.

HOW ARE THE TEMPLE

MEETINGS GOING?

GREAT. DR. BERNSTEIN,

I'VE COME TO ASK YOU

FOR YOUR DAUGHTER'S HAND.

DON'T SAY YES.

TELL HIM HOW SELFISH

AND IRRESPONSIBLE HE IS.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE DONE

A MARVELOUS JOB WITH

THE MEN'S GROUP.

YOU EVEN GO A GIRLFRIEND FOR MORTY.

HE'S A DRUGGIE.

SINCE THE FIRST NIGHT,

HE'S BEEN FREE.

HASN'T BEEN A TRACE

OF SUBSTANCE IN HIS

URINE OR IN HIS BLOOD.

HE'S AN IDLER.

NO JOB AND NO PROSPECTS.

NOT EXACTLY SO.

DID YOU ACCEP THAT SLOT AT THE OLD

MEDICAL SCHOOL?

HEY.

THE HEAD OF:

THE ADMISSIONS BOARD

IS AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE.

- HE TOLD ME ABOUT IT.

- TIME'S UP. GOTTA GO. NOW.

THAT WON'T BE

NECESSARY, OFFICER.

THANK YOU.

LAURA, WILL YOU GET ME

THAT BLUE DOCUMENT BACK THERE,

AND A PEN?

THANK YOU.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE NO LONGER UNDER

THE COURT'S JURISDICTION.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

THIS DAY.

CONGRATULATIONS.

CAN I EVER GET A STEP

AHEAD OF YOU, DR. BERNSTEIN?

YOU WILL WHEN:

NECESSARY, MY BOY.

AS RABBI MYERS SAID,

MY LIFE IS BLESSED.

I NEVER NEEDED ANYTHING

UNTIL I HAD IT.

ACTUALLY, RABBI McCALL

SAID THAT.

DURING COFFEE BREAKS

AT THE MEETINGS,

I'VE BEEN READING

THE MEDITATIONS:

IN THE PRAYER BOOK.

WELL, LAURA, DO YOU HAVE

ANY OTHER OBJECTIONS

ABOUT MARRYING:

THIS FINE YOUNG MAN?

NO, I DON'T.

I NEVER NEEDED DAN

UNTIL NOW THAT I HAVE HIM.

THE CONSTRUCTION ON

THE PARTHENON:

YOU SEE BEHIND ME

BEGAN IN 347 B.C.

( woman clearing throat )

( students laughing )

UH, YES.

QUITE RIGHT.

HISTORIANS CONSIDER

THE EDIFICE:

AT THE PEAK OF CLASSICAL

IONIC ARCHITECTURE.

- Woman:
DORIC.

- ( students laugh )

YES, YES, OF COURSE.

DORIC ARCHITECTURE.

PERHAPS I SHOULD

LOOK AT MY NOTES.

THE WEST END RELIEF

SHOWS THE COMBAT BETWEEN

THE AMAZONS:

AND THE ATHENIANS,

AND THAT'S WHY

IT'S MY FAVORITE.

BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME OF

YOUR PROFESSOR BARRY BLACKMON.

ZOE, I--

- PLEASE DON'T INTERRUPT.

I'M NOT FINISHED.

THE BASE OF THE PARTHENON

IS 69.5 METERS

BY 30.9 METERS.

I'D FORGOTTEN.

IT'S SO GOOD OF YOU

TO ARRANGE FOR:

THE TEMPLE LIBRARY

DONATION. I HEARD.

THE INTERNAL COLONNADES

WERE CONSTRUCTED IN TWO TIERS

TO SUPPORT THE ROOF.

- I WAS A FOOL TO LEAVE YOU.

- YES, YOU WERE.

DID YOU KNOW THA MY FATHER MARRIED MY MOTHER

NEXT TO THOSE COLONNADES?

I WAS THERE THEN.

GANYMEDE LOOKED:

SO PROUD AND HANDSOME,

AND HE MARRIED:

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

WOMAN I HAD EVER SEEN,

UNTIL I ME THEIR DAUGHTER.

I WAS THE BEST MAN.

YOU STILL ARE:

THE BEST MAN.

WHO WILL BE YOURS

AT OUR WEDDING?

Lars:

DANIEL TOPLER,
