In Search of a Midnight Kiss Page #8

where he said it was,

(loud house music thumping indoors)

(cheers and whistles)

(Wilson) Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

What's up, Jacob?

Oh, you made it, you made it,

Thank you so much for coming,

- I wouldn't miss it for the world,

- Thank you,

Jacob, Vivian,

Vivian, Jacob,

- Hey, how are you?

- Nice to meet you, Happy New Year,

Thanks, I forgot it was New Year's Eve,

We've had such a crazy night,

- Oh, really? Yeah?

- Crazy,

- She f***ing hit me,

- No way!

- Yeah, I'll tell you about it...

- She hit you?

I'll tell you about it later,

- Oh, man, you needed to be hit,

- I know, I know, I know,

- Hey, did you guys get drinks yet?

- No,

- Do you want a beer?

- Yeah, that sounds good,

- Oh, thanks,

- Oh, thanks,

Cheers to the best year of our life,

- Cheers,

- Could not be any worse,

Oh, yeah, Hear! Hear!

Hear! Hear!

So, have you done it yet?

- No, I haven't,

- You nervous?

I have butterflies, but, you know,

it kind of feels... it feels good,

I want to do this now,

Let's do this, let's go, I'm ready,

Don't do it yet,

I gotta go to the bathroom, 20 minutes,

It's, like, 30 minutes till midnight,

so we got a little bit of time, OK?

(music thumping)

- Hi, How are you?

- Hey, how's it going? Good to see you,

- You too,

- How you been?

- I've been good,

- Good,

- You look cute,

- Thanks, I dressed myself tonight,

I'm having so much fun

with that girl tonight,

- Really?

- Yeah,

Hey, so Jacob's about to go on,

so I'll see you in there in a minute,

Hey, um...

Real quick, l-l-I...

I have a present for you,

- What is it?

- Come here, I'll tell you,

What?

I'm sorry, l-I...

I thought you were attracted to me,

(Jacob) Can you turn the music down?

Hello, everybody,

Hey, everybody, uh...

(cheers and whistles)

Can you turn the light on, please, for me?

That would be great,

Thank you, Um...

I just want to say...

I want to be the first one to say

"Happy New Year" to all you great people,

(cheers and applause)

Yeah, um...

- Tell me what happened,

- I'll tell you about it in the car,

I wouldn't normally turn off the music

like this,

but there's something important

that I need to do,

(crowd taunting playfully)

Min, Where are you, Min?

Can you come here, please?

(women chanting) Min, Min, Min, Min!

Hi,

This has... this has been the love

of my life for the last two years,

(man) Congratulations,

Um, I've been, uh...

I've been trying to find the right time

to do this all day,

but the moment just never seemed

to come up, so...

- (man) Don't be nervous,

- (laughter)

(crowd shouts and whoops)

(crowd quiets down)

I've loved you more than I've loved

anybody I've ever met in my entire life,

Honestly, the connection

that I have with you, it's amazing,

I've never felt... anything like this before,

OK, before I ask you this question...

I don't want you to answer

until after midnight,

'cause I want to give you, like,

a symbolic year to think it over,

I want you to be my wife till the day I die,

Will you marry me?

- Don't answer,

- (music resumes)

- Don't say yet,

- (crowd cheers and whistles)

No, no, we should wait,

(# "Barbed Wire Blues"

by Johnny Lee Schell)

(Wilson) Why did she have to

put me into that predicament?

- Because she lives at our house,

- Don't even worry about it,

Who cares!

I mean, love is strange,

It's OK,

This is the one couple

that had their sh*t together,

- Nobody has their sh*t together,

- They had their sh*t together,

We are all just hanging on

by a thread, trust me,

You might as well enjoy what you have

until that thread breaks, That's what I say,

(DJ) One minute and 45 seconds to go,

Los Angeles.

How are you gonna spend

the remaining seconds of the year?

Listening to a radio show?

We've got another song,

but we won't get to the end of it

because we're just about out of time.

If you're not where you want to be,

I'd suggest running.

It's t-minus 1-39, 1-38...

Oh, this is great, That's it,

- I guess we're parked,

- People are getting out of their cars,

This is so typical, New Year's Eve

in Los Angeles, and I'm stuck in traffic,

(# song on radio)

I guess it's not too bad,

Sometimes you just got to

give in to the shitstorm,

There is no way of avoiding it,

you know?

You just gotta get that umbrella

and get out there and party,

- That's very well said,

- Thank you,

So come on, it's New Year's Eve,

You got time for some resolutions,

What do you got?

- To be honest, I haven't thought about it,

- What? Well, you better hurry up,

Come on, close your eyes,

Come on,

(DJ) The final grains of sand are slipping

away more quickly as just a few remain.

We are fast approaching

the one-minute mark, starting right...

60 seconds.

(# "A Voice Remembered"

by Kazamir Boyle)

(DJ) Whatever you've wanted to do this

year, you have 25 seconds left to do it,

or come to terms with the fact

that you're not gonna get it done.

We're down to the final 15 seconds. Get

ready for the countdown. Here it comes.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six,

five, four, three,

two, one!

(overlapping shouts and cheers)

Happy New Year, Los Angeles!

I love you! I love you to death.

I love you for struggling and for fighting

against all the traffic,

all the obstacles we have before us

just to get together in this city.

Good luck finding love. Those that come

here putting their careers ahead of love,

I hope you find

what you're looking for tonight,

because this waking moment,

on this planet,

is our one chance to make it happen.

(# "Auld Lang Syne" on piano)

(horns honking)

(people cheering, blowing noisemakers)

I would love...

to marry...

you!

So, take a seat on the couch,

and I'm going to...

get some wine and turn on some music,

That sounds great,

I like your place,

Thanks,

If you ever need a place to crash

for a few days, you're more than welcome,

Actually I think I'm gonna stay

with my sister, She's out in the valley,

- So your sister lives out here?

- Yep, She said I could crash there,

(answering machine)

You have five new messages.

Wow, Mr, Popular,

(man) Hi, don't get upset if you're straight.

You didn't mention whether you were gay.

You posted under the holiday dates,

so it said "gender neutral."

Oh, sh*t, Wait one...

- Wait, wait, wait, I want to hear this,

- What?

- Let me hear this,

- All right,

I think you're hot from your photo. Bye.

(woman) I'm calling for the misanthrope.

- My number's 310-555-8934.

- OK, this is really embarrassing,

I divorced recently

and now I'm back out there.

I think I'm pretty attractive.

You know, I have a good body. (laughs)

So with that, I don't know what to say.

Um, well, I hope I'll hear from you.

(machine beeps)

(woman) Hi. I'm 36-24-36, blonde.

- I want to show you a good time.

- Maybe I jumped the gun,

- And my pager is 323...

- Your pager? Who has a pager anymore?

- Hookers, She was a hooker,

Oh,

- Oh, happy New Year, sweetie.
