It's My Turn Page #5

meeting you.

Ha. Yeah.

Really.

[SIGHS]

You sit over there.

And...

Where?

Right--

Right in that chair.

I have this all arranged.

Wait, wait,

I have to get you...

Oh, these are nice flowers

you got here.

Yeah. Here, you're gonna

sit on these.

Yeah?

Yeah.

See if it's comfortable.

All right.

Okay?

You want me real high up, huh?

Kate, I, uh,

like to give you and Homer

the beach house

as a wedding present.

I don't know.

Thank you, Daddy.

We'll see.

What about this job?

Well,

you'd have

a fancy daughter.

I have a fancy daughter.

[LAUGHS]

Would you have enough time

for your own research?

I don't know.

It's not--

It's not clear.

I'd have to--

I'd have to move

to New York.

Mm.

Well, I think you ought

to sit down with Homer

and seriously discuss it.

How it affects

your work if you...

[BLOWS]

...move.

Or if you stay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, uh, I mean,

uh, the life that you're

building together,

what that's all

gonna be about.

Who can bend and how...

Katherine?

Yes, Daddy?

You ever cut

anyone's hair before?

[LAUGHING]

I used to watch very

carefully what Mommy did.

Are you aware

that everything you bought

is black and white or green?

[LAUGHS]

Okay,

I'll see you Sunday.

You and Hunter

seemed great last night.

I hope I have that

some day.

You'll have it.

Yeah, maybe

I'll get lucky this time.

Well, it's not just luck,

it's hard work.

I can work hard.

Katie, if you've found the right

person, then make it work.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

I think so.

I hope so.

I'll see you Sunday.

See you Sunday.

BOTH:

Bye.

[PHONE RINGING]

Uh, hello?

Oh.

Yes, Professor Raskawa.

I enjoyed it too.

Oh...

Well, I'm honored.

Yes.

Oh, of course, I owe it

to my department

to talk to them first.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

I'll speak to you Monday.

Thank you.

Oh.

Thank you.

Uh--

"Sorry."

Hi.

Hi, Emma.

It's me.

Hi, Daddy. No, actually,

I wanted to talk to, uh, Emma.

I wanted Maryanne's

phone number.

Oh, he is?

Ben's there?

Oh, really.

[GASPS]

Oh,

actually, I have

a special wedding present

for you too.

Yeah.

Could I bring it over?

Great. Okay.

I'll see you

in a couple of minutes.

All right.

Bye-bye.

Sh*t.

[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE]

[]

Please, be careful

of the top.

Very good.

Excellent.

Daddy, hi.

JACOB:
Hi.

I saw Mommy's chest,

it's just out on the sidewalk.

Yeah, I know. I know.

The elevator's stuck.

They're gonna bring it right up.

I thought you were Goodwill.

[LAUGHS]

Hi.

BEN:

L-E-W-I-N.

I ordered this

over a month ago

from your national

vice president, right.

The demonstrator

was supposed to be here

between 2 and 3.

One of your gift's arrived.

Yeah, I'll hold.

You look nice.

Let me help you.

Hi.

Your wedding present.

Oh.

Uh, yeah.

It's right here.

"L-3-4-9-9."

Let me show you

around the house.

This-- We're gonna make this

into a little study.

No, Lewin as in Larry.

And, uh, this is

the dining room.

Isn't this nice?

Yeah.

JACOB:

There's the, uh, living room.

KATE:

Uh-huh.

JACOB:
Isn't that nice?

KATE:
Yep.

We got a lot of room here

when you--

Yes.

When you come to visit.

It's big.

You could always

sleep in Ben's bed.

JACOB:

The master bedroom here.

Kate.

You'll like this room.

MAN:

Hey, Ben.

Hey! Your goddamn company's

got me on hold, huh?

Good to see you.

Good to see you, as well.

Come on out here,

I need your muscles. Oh.

I'm surprised. I didn't expect

you to be here in person.

I figured I'd come myself.

Yeah.

I thought you'd show up

to watch the old fox.

Flicker.

Hey, Mrs. L!

Ah, nice to see you.

Ha-ha.

Francis V. Jarvis,

executive vice president

in charge of public relations,

at your service.

Well. Jacob? I'd like you

to meet my fianc,

Dr. Jacob Gunzinger.

Congratulations, doc.

Thank you.

I was gonna

court her myself.

You beat my time.

This guy's got

a lot of hustle.

Well, why else

would I be marrying him?

A doctor, huh?

Retired.

Aren't we all?

You said it, babe.

Let's go, huh?

[LAUGHS]

See, this is a little larger

than the home models, you know?

But it's got 80 percent

more power.

Flicker, I can't

thank you enough

for bringing it over

yourself.

Thank you, Ben,

that's a fine present.

I'll just get rid

of those boxes for you.

I'll walk you out.

Uh, Ben.

Yeah.

Out, it's got to go out.

Jacob could break his hip.

Oh, no, no, I like it.

I'd like to try it.

Out, right now. Ben,

I want it out of the house.

Why don't you two discuss it?

I'll say goodbye to Flicker.

I told George

to list you for today.

You--?

Oh, what an a**hole thing to do.

What the hell you do

something like that for?

It would be fun,

like old times.

Come on, the old-timers' game?

It's a freak show.

Am I gonna sit there with

Ty Cobb's 91-year-old roommate?

Come on.

Look, you'll be on national TV.

Now, just think

of the Nielsen rating.

That's some exposure.

Yeah.

Maybe some tire company's

looking for a fancy VP.

You got a job lined up, man?

Nope.

You hear about Jerry Lanz?

What?

Slapped those franchises

all over the middle Atlantic.

Fun furs, frozen yogurt.

Yeah, you caught

his act on the tube?

[BOTH LAUGH]

It's been a thrill.

It's been a thrill.

Hey, and I wanna--

I wanna see you later.

Okay, babe.

Ah. Sh*t.

Here, I'll get it out.

Uh-oh, here you go.

Oh, I love it, I love it.

Oh.

Oh, Kate. Kate.

What a thoughtful gift.

Yeah?

It looks dangerous.

You can make sherbet,

you can shred zucchini--

And you could also

cut a hand off.

You just follow

the directions.

Do you like sherbet?

Yeah, sure.

Oh!

Uh-oh. Oh.

Just a minute.

Oh, God.

There's nothing to worry about.

It's not deep.

Emma, where's my bag?

Oh, it's--

I think it's in the kitchen.

I'll get it.

JACOB:

It's all right.

Just keep your hand up

a few minutes.

Emma, I think

I put it in the closet.

Serves you right.

Trying to mutilate

my mother like that.

What about you, trying to

disintegrate my dear old dad?

This really-- This really is

a very, very pretty blouse.

Is that, uh--?

It's green.

[PHONE RINGS]

Still alive?

EMMA:

Hello.

All right. Ben?

Telephone.

Just hold it.

Paper...

Hannah's back.

Hello?

Hey, Tinka! Hiya, honey.

How was Grandma's?

What--?

Honey, speak English, will you?

It's Daddy.

You did, huh? Well, I got

a present for you too.

No, no, tomorrow.

No, in the afternoon.

Yeah,

I love you too, honey.

Okay.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

MAN:

Goodwill.

Hi, Listen, I'm catching a

flight tomorrow afternoon.

Getting into Akron

about 4:
00.

Hey, you wanna help me?

Sure.

[KNOCKING]

MAN:
Goodwill.

BEN:

No, I can call you

from the airport.

Okay. I'll talk

to you then. Bye.

You call that

three things?

[EMMA GASPS]

Last call for books, Ben.

[SIGHS]

Want me to give you

a hand?

Yeah.

It'd be nice, thank you.

This was my, uh,

father's study.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I used to hate this room.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I always felt like I was coming

into the principal's office.
