Kate & Leopold Page #10

Synopsis: Kate and her actor brother live in N.Y. in the 21st Century. Her ex-boyfriend, Stuart, lives above her apartment. Stuart finds a space near the Brooklyn Bridge where there is a gap in time. He goes back to the 19th Century and takes pictures of the place. Leopold -- a man living in the 1870s -- is puzzled by Stuart's tiny camera, follows him back through the gap, and they both ended up in the present day. Leopold is clueless about his new surroundings. He gets help and insight from Charlie who thinks that Leopold is an actor who is always in character. Leopold is a highly intelligent man and tries his best to learn and even improve the modern conveniences that he encounters.

And that is a picture of you

in the future in the past.

We have to make a run

for it. Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Let's go, let's go.

Come on!

Whoa, where the hell do

you think you're going?

$6.80 on the metre, pal.

It's going to close, Kate!

Come on!

Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your attention?

The Duke of Albany

will be making

a very important announcement

in 20 minutes

from this very stage.

And I believe it shall be

an announcement

that will justify

the playing of a bridal waltz.

Okay...

this is the hard part.

-What?

-The girder.

The girder?

You have to cross

the girder, Kate.

That girder?

Stuart, I can't cross

that girder.

-I can't go across...

-You love him, right?

What?

Leopold.

You love him, right?

Yeah.

That's all you need to know.

Now go.

-You'll be fine.

-Katie...

Charlie... Charlie,

what am l...

How are you...

No, don't worry about me.

-Now, Kate, now.

-Now?

The portal's going to close.

-All right.

-Go.

Jesus.

Whoo!

Oh, God.

You can do it.

Don't look down.

Oh, sh*t.

Charlie...

I'll love you forever.

Love you.

It's okay.

Lady... Lady, what

are you doing?

Step back, lady.

-It's okay.

-Step back from there, lady.

Come back, lady.

Central, be advised.

This is Breech Post Four.

I've got a jumper

on the southwest location

of the bridge.

Have a supervisor,

ESU and Harbour respond

to this location forthwith.

Ladies and gentlemen

it is with a glad heart

and a bright eye

that I proudly introduce

my beloved nephew

Leopold, Duke of Albany.

Thank you.

Thank you, Uncle Millard.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, madam, but

this is a private affair.

No, you don't seem

to understand.

I need to get inside.

I need to get inside

right now and...

What seems to be the problem?

Are you Otis?

Well, let us proceed.

Please raise your glasses...

so we may toast

to my bride-to-be

the woman whose

welfare and happiness

shall be my solemn duty

to maintain.

-Oh!

-The future Duchess of Albany...

Kate McKay.

Of the McKays of...?

Massapequa.

Massapequa.

I love you.

I love you.

If I caught the world

in a bottle

And everything was still

beneath the moon

Without your love,

would it shine for me?

If I was smart as Aristotle

And understood

the rings around the moon

What would it all matter

if you loved me?

Here in your arms where

the world is impossibly still

With a million dreams

to fulfill

And a matter of moments

until the dancing ends

Here in your arms when

everything seems to be clear

Not a solitary thing

would I fear

Except when this moment comes

near the dancing's end

If I caught the world

in an hourglass

Saddled up the moon

so we could ride

Until the stars grew dim

Until...

One day

you'll meet a stranger

And all the noise

is silenced in the room

You'll feel that you're close

to some mystery

In the moonlight

and everything shatters

You feel as if you've

known her all your life

The world's oldest lesson

in history

Here in your arms where

the world is impossibly still

With a million dreams

to fulfill

And a matter of moments

until the dancing ends

Here in your arms when

everything seems to be clear

Not a solitary thing

do I fear

Except when this moment

comes near the dancing's end

Oh, if I caught the world

in an hourglass

Saddled up the moon

and we would ride

Until the stars grew dim

Until the time

that time stands still

Until...
