Fatal Attraction Page #3

---

How are you feeling?

OK.

I gotta go.

Will you call me sometime?

You don't have to

if you don't want to.

No, I want to.

You promise me

you'll go see the doctor?

OK.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- You take care.

- You, too.

Sh*t.

Look what I got.

Look what I got for you here.

Spaghetti and meat sauce.

We'll make an Italian

out of you yet. Good boy.

Have a good one, yeah?

What are you doing here? It's 8 a.m.

I'm in the shitter. I'm due in court

by two and I'm behind.

Do me a favour, cancel everything.

Tell Drimmer we're fine.

- I'll be there by two.

- At two? OK.

Good morning, Martha.

- Daddy!

- Honey! I missed you.

We had a great time.

I went for a walk with Grandpa.

We saw rabbits...

Slow down.

I can't understand a word.

- I want a rabbit.

- I know you do.

- Hi, darling. How are you?

- Good.

Good.

God, I missed you.

- Liar.

- I did.

I should go away more often.

- I did this one.

- You did?

- Yes. Pick another one.

- I thought it was this one.

- No. It was this one.

- You're in a lot of trouble.

Phooey on Dewey.

- OK.

- Now, pick a card, Dad.

Any card at all?

Yes? Where'd she learn this?

Grandpa showed me.

Surprise.

So how was it?

Come on, I'm a big boy.

I can take it.

It had a place for rabbits.

No! She said it.

She said the R-word. No!

Not rabbits? Rabbits?

Rabbits!

- Rabbits!

- Not rabbits?

Rabbits!

What can I tell you?

It's absolutely perfect.

- In this row?

- No.

So, when are you gonna come up

and take a look at it?

Just for the hell of it?

How about tomorrow morning?

- Daddy, which row?

- You mean it?

If you get me back to the office

by one, yeah.

Which row, Dad?

It's in this row, sweetheart.

Dan?

Honey? Honey, come here.

I want you to see this.

Well?

It's... It's OK.

- It's fantastic!

- It's great.

Think of all the money we'll save

not living in New York.

The high school is excellent.

My own children went there.

- You see?

- It's a terrific area for kids.

I'm sure. Is it OK if I?

Go ahead. I'll wait here.

Thank you.

We still got to decorate.

We can fix it up.

We can have painting parties.

Painting parties?

You're making me very nervous.

Now, look at this.

This is fantastic.

This would make a terrific playroom.

What are you talking about, playroom?

This is my den!

I knew you were gonna like it.

I like it.

I'll be in court. How you doing?

- Eunice, is Martha back from lunch?

- She just returned.

Hi.

Hello.

This isn't a bad time, is it?

I was in the area.

No, no.

You want to come into my office?

This is his account?

Danny, will you be

in your office later?

- Have we met somewhere?

- I don't think so.

She looked at me first.

Sit down.

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine.

I was going to call you today.

I...

This is terribly embarrassing.

I just wanted to say sorry

for what happened.

I had no right

to put you through all that.

Nothing happened, OK?

I was going through a bad time.

Everything was coming to a crisis.

But I'm fine. I'm really all right.

And thank you.

- You don't have to thank me.

- Yeah, I do.

A lot of guys

would have just run away.

I don't know what I would have done

if you hadn't been there.

Well, you look good.

As a matter of fact, you look great.

Thanks.

So that's past?

Yeah.

- May I ask you one more favour?

- What's that?

I've got two tickets to Madame

Butterfly, two weeks from Thursday.

I'd love it if you'd come with me,

kind of as a peace offering.

Well, that's very nice of you.

But I don't think it's a good idea.

No strings attached.

You don't have to explain.

I just thought I'd ask.

So...

I'll see you around sometime.

OK.

Come here.

- Take care.

- Yeah. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

All right. Come on, let's go, pal.

We're on a roll.

- Let's see that action.

- Down the middle.

I like it. Very nice.

That is no good. I'm depressed.

What about Rodgers

versus whatchamacallit?

- Winitsky.

- Right.

I got your memo. You're going

for summary judgement?

Why not?

The facts are not in dispute.

Rodgers admits reading Winitsky's

article, but did he plagiarise it?

You can't copyright an idea,

only the expression.

Rodgers didn't use

any of the words in the book.

- Let me think about it.

- OK.

You're about to become a suburbanite.

We're gonna take the plunge.

- Got a buyer for the apartment?

- No.

- Got cold sweats about your escrow?

- Yeah.

But not about

Rodgers versus Winitsky?

- No, sir.

- Good.

He's still in a meeting.

Yes, I know. I did expect him

to be through by now.

Have lunch with me on Tuesday.

That'd be great. I'll check my diary.

You are on his list of calls.

It's Alex Forest.

Again? I thought you told her

I'd call her back.

- I did.

- Put her on hold.

Would you mind holding?

Tuesday would be great.

- I look forward to it.

- Thank you. I will, too.

Put her through.

Hello?

Look, Alex, I thought we agreed

this was not a good idea.

Why?

I thought you understood.

If I misled you in some way,

I apologise.

But it's not a good idea

if we talk to each other any more.

OK?

Goodbye.

Yeah, if she calls again,

tell her I'm not here.

Wait, let me just...

Let me just look at you.

You're so beautiful.

Just so beautiful.

- Wouldn't you know?

- I know.

Go on, open it.

I wouldn't do it to my wife.

It's OK.

- Know how many injuries happen?

- Don't terrorise them!

I'm a lawyer, I'm insured.

It's excited.

Don't forget who gave you this.

My cold sores are almost gone.

Ladies first.

I use that term advisedly.

You're the best, sweetie.

That's my wife!

A little attention, please, ladies.

Gentlemen, my wife, ball and chain.

Mother of some of my children.

Don't be too confident.

Here is to Miller, Goodman,

Hurst and Gallagher!

- And to Mrs Gallagher.

- Give me a break.

He just asked me to lunch.

You're moving to your estate.

You'll forget us plebs.

Wait a minute.

I read a self-help book.

- Published by Robbins & Hart.

- Of course. Samurai Self-Help.

In it, it tells you how deal with

the anxieties of your friends

as you move up the corporate ladder

and they stay put.

In this book, it says not to coddle

your friends' anxieties.

I'm not gonna make

any false reassurances.

I won't say you can go to the house

every weekend.

Things have changed.

This is not a classless society.

In fact, this is it. Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- I knew he was gonna say that!

- He's running true to form.

- We gotta make a clean break.

- We gotta travel light.

- Thanks for the time you gave us.

Drink. I want you with a lampshade

on your head by ten.

Why should today be any different?

Hello? Hello?

Here's to you.

Cheers.

Hello?

Hello!

Yeah?

Yeah, Richards.

It's kinda late, isn't it?

If you won't take my calls

at the office, I have no choice.

It's two o'clock in the morning.

Can't this wait till tomorrow?

Is it awkward for you to talk?

You could say that.

I've got to see you.

I don't have the... documentation

to answer that question now.

But I'll call you from the office.
