It's My Turn Page #7

Thank you.

I'll tell Emma.

Do you always

make toasts like that?

JEROME:
Well...

Uh, I mean--

No, you don't.

I do.

I do too.

Oh, do you?

[TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

Ladies and gentlemen...

The bride is feeling

a little tired.

We're going to be

leaving you now

so that she can, uh,

sit quietly for a few minutes

and decide

if she's made a mistake.

[ALL LAUGHING]

You never know what he's

going to come out with.

I got that,

I got that.

RITA:

Oh, darlings, wait for us.

We'll all go down

to the airport together.

Listen,

what do you do on Monday?

I get up.

I, uh-- I make breakfast.

Yeah, what do you do then?

I, um...

I prepare my lecture,

and at 10:
30 I go to school.

Then what do you do?

I, uh--

I wanna know what you do

for the whole day.

Oh, my bag! Wait!

I got your bag,

I got your bag.

Let me take the suitcase.

You take this here.

I need to talk to you.

My flight's boarding already.

You need something to make

you feel the way you do

when you play ball, right?

Yeah.

You're having a bad time

with your wife.

I'm gonna take this job.

No, it's okay.

And you can come to New York,

you could do your training.

I love being in New York.

We can take

an apartment together.

I can pay for the rent.

Look, I get a big raise

with this job.

I can help you

with your tuition.

You're gonna take the job?

Yeah.

You said I like to choose

my game, right?

What are you choosing,

a fancy title?

I'm choosing you.

Oh, bullshit.

You're not choosing me.

I am.

No, you're not.

You're telling me

that I am the solution

to your problem.

I'm not gonna be

indebted to you

taking a job

you don't even want.

You said it was a question

of money.

Well, that was

for starters, yeah.

Not to mention a wife

and a daughter.

And the fact that I got a plane

to catch, and so do you.

Yeah,

but I can take the next one.

I can change in Buffalo.

I'll leave from Newark,

I don't care.

Before I came here I found out

my wife was having an affair

with my best friend.

You know how I felt?

You know what I felt?

Nothing.

I didn't feel anything.

I felt more this weekend

than I have

in a hell of a long time.

But the fact is, I've still

got a daughter in Akron,

and I don't wanna

leave her alone.

And I got a marriage.

Seven years.

You know what I'm talking about?

I'm talking about seven years.

WOMAN [ON PA]:

Trans World Airlines, Flight--

But we need more time.

You could probably re-route

through Cleveland.

We could have another hour.

An hour is not gonna

make a difference.

I have a through flight to Akron

and I gotta go home.

You know,

if you flew to Detroit,

you might get a direct

Akron connection.

You could even fly

to Toronto.

Toronto?

I don't wanna fly to--

Shh.

I'm not flying to Toronto.

I gotta resolve

what's there.

I'm not ready to jump into

something new yet, you know.

What is wrong

with something new?

Look at our parents.

Look what they found.

What our parents found

is terrific, honey.

But they're

connected to each other.

And that takes hard work,

responsibility,

and a lot of demands.

I don't think you ever made

that kind of commitment

in your life.

You're so in control, I don't

think you know what you feel.

You sound like this dumb jock

who would rather

hang onto a wife

who is screwing his best friend

than change

a plane reservation.

I mean, at least I'm willing

to take a chance in this.

How are you gonna put

your life together

if you can't even contemplate

re-routing through Toronto?

You wanna change your life on

some guy you balled last night

for the first time, go ahead,

just leave me out.

Fine. Okay. You're out.

At least I'm not hiding

behind some dead marriage.

You wanna take a cop-out job

to be near this true love,

you met two days ago, fine. Just

leave me out if it, no thanks.

Out. You're out of it!

And so while--

While at it, Lady Chicago, you

just leave him out of it too.

Why don't you give

Homer a break?

You leave him out of it and you

make your own goddamn decision

about whether you do

want this job,

or whether you do or don't want

that man or this man, all right?

It's no smoking, please.

[]

Take care of yourself, okay?

Yeah. Thanks.

Does that make us nothing?

No. It's--

It's-- It's not nothing.

It's just--

There's no way.

I can't do it now, Kate.

I'm proud to know

I have a brother

who robbed Reggie Jackson

of his homer in Detroit.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I love you, sis.

Goodbye.

Bye.

[]

What are you-- What were you

doing in New York, Kate?

Oh, uh, I was going

to my father's wedding.

A prime number is one

that cannot be expressed--

Help you with these?

No, I'm just gonna go upstairs.

Not too heavy?

Is two a prime number?

Yes.

Is-- Is three?

Yes.

Is four?

No.

Why?

Two times two.

Smart?

Yeah, smart kid.

See you later.

Bye.

Bye.

You a graduate of, uh, Harvard?

BOY:
No. I went to Yale.

HOMER:
Yeah.

[]

Hi.

Hi.

Mm. You all right?

Yeah.

Sure?

Congratulations

on the job.

Oh, thanks.

What's happening? What?

Sit down, Homer.

Uh-oh, what? What's-- What's--

No, it's just...

I-- I don't know

how to say this to you.

I saw something

in New York that--

Oh, I don't know, but--

My parents had it.

Gail has it.

My father has it again.

Bigger than a breadbox?

Don't joke with me!

I need to be able

to talk to you.

Uh, I talk to you.

No, you don't.

You don't talk to me,

you make me laugh,

but you don't talk to me.

I talk to you.

I'm talking now.

Before I left I wanted to

talk to you about Emma,

and all you could say was,

"Leave her alone."

You said you didn't like her

because she couldn't swim.

Did you actually want me

to discuss that?

That's because you don't

hear me.

You don't pay attention

to me.

What,

I'm supposed to walk around,

any time you have

something on your mind

I should just stop and listen?

Maybe.

Oh, God! No.

You mean that, don't you?

I can't do that.

Uh, that's like

a full-time job.

I can't. It would be

exhausting to do that.

Look, what-- What--

What's happening here?

You got the job, you wanna

move to New York, and--

And you're worried about

how we're gonna work it out?

Is that what's happening?

It's more than that.

I really don't know what

we're talking about here.

I really don't.

I mean, I--

You don't know

what you want.

You want what

your parents have,

and you want to do

breakthroughs.

You want laughter but I

shouldn't make a lot of jokes.

You can't have it all.

I love you,

but it does take

a lot of jokes. It works.

It doesn't work for me.

[]

It doesn't.

Listen, uh,

you're not, uh--

Uh, what--?

What's happening here?

Really, what's happening here?

Are you--? Are you...?

You're not saying you might

want to stay in Chicago

and not live here?

You don't hear me, do you?

I just need to be

more connected.

I need to feel that my problems

are your problems,

and that your problems are mine,
