Kate & Leopold Page #9

a few things.

You might even see me.

Just don't follow me

this time.

Can I go in?

J.J., you asked to see me?

Come on in.

I understand you, uh,

put out a fire

at the shoot yesterday.

Guess Mr. Duke's got a bit

of an ego on him, huh?

Yeah.

I'm going to England

this week

and I made a decision.

Mm-hmm.

You're going to be

the top New York honcho.

So, this is going

to be your office.

I'll be making it official

tonight.

Thank you, J.J.

Thank you.

You've earned it.

I'm heading over

to Jansen to sign

the buy-out papers,

FTC stuff.

So I'll see you later

at the thing.

-What did he say?

-I got it.

Oh, my God,

that's wonderful!

Just give me one second,

I'm sorry, Darci. One second.

Hi. You've reached Stuart.

Please leave a message.

Hello?

Leopold, l-I don't know

where you are

but if you're there,

please pick up.

I got it.

I got the job.

I'm the new

senior vice president

at CRG.

Uh, please call me.

I, um... I'm sorry about the way

things came down yesterday.

I apologize.

I, uh... I just really

need to see you.

I'd love to see you tonight

but I have this thing

at Farmer's Bounty.

But I'd love to see you later.

I miss you.

I miss you.

Hey, Stuart.

How you feeling?

Where's Leo?

He went home.

He was for real.

He was for real.

Holy sh*t!

Look at this!

Oh, my God.

Chilled, do you understand?

Chilled.

And be sure to leave another

case of the Chateau Lafitte.

Yes, sir.

Leopold!

Leopold!

Where have you been?!

Otis, I demand explication!

It's half past 5:00!

He's not even dressed!

He'll be ready, my lord,

I assure you.

I don't want him ready.

I want him resplendent!

Here's the invitation.

You've got your table number,

your car number

and I've got Morty down there--

the guy you like.

He's on the Madison side.

Also, your phone sheet

is in here.

And Stuart called

you a couple times.

So, have a great

time tonight.

You look beautiful.

I don't think this is right.

I'm supposed to be

going to 2640 Madison.

That's where we are,

Miss McKay.

Have a nice evening.

Hi.

Hello.

Invitation, please.

Yes.

They're still plugs.

They're just randomly seeded

with Minoxidil.

No cornrows.

Excuse me.

Hey, Kate.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

The hell with facelifts.

I'm into mini-lifts now.

Just a tiny little bit

each year.

I hear they're bringing

back the 840 next year.

So I'm just running

out the lease.

-Kate, congratulations.

-Thanks, Bob.

Hey, Kate.

-Congratulations.

-J.J. Hi, Barry.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Anyway, I'm just glad

they've got them fixed.

I was going to move my office

down to the lobby.

Excuse me.

Kate, don't powder

your nose for too long.

I'm going to

give this speech

in a couple minutes.

Okay.

All this time I thought

that I had pretzled fate

and it had to be untwisted.

But what I never considered

is that the whole thing

is a pretzel.

A beautiful 4D pretzel

of kismetic inevitability.

Okay, you know what,

get off Park

as soon as you can,

and then go up Madison.

I was supposed to go back.

He was supposed to come forward

then he was supposed

to go back again and...

so was she.

Now it is my pleasure

and honour...

...to take priests

to the bell tower.

You speak of progress

and invention.

But what I offer you

downstairs is reality.

Take a wife.

Marry.

Let us not bother

with this banter, Uncle.

Tell me whom you want me

to marry.

Well, who has the most money.

Well... that would be Miss Tree

of the Trees of Schenectady.

Good.

Consider it done.

Otis, fetch the ring.

I will announce at midnight.

Invitation, please.

Uh, hello.

My name is Stuart Besser.

I'm sorry, I know

we're not on your list

but his sister is Kate McKay;

she works here.

I'm sorry, sir,

I can't just let you in.

...and I learned that there was

one thing that I could do

and it didn't require money

and it didn't require

a fancy school.

I learned that I could

please people.

And there is nothing wrong

with that!

I am a people pleaser, people!

Whoo!

J.J.:

Thank you so much.

I am so...

Kate!

Stuart!

Charlie!

What are you doing?

Take a look

at these pictures, Kate.

No! No-no-no-no!

Now it's time

to introduce the woman

who's going to be holding down

the fort in our New York offices

our own little rising star,

Miss Kate McKay!

Just listen to me

for a second, okay, please?

They're introducing me

downstairs right now!

I'm sorry I was

a lousy boyfriend.

I'm sorry I let you down.

I know all you wanted

was someone you could trust...

Oh, Stuart, really

I can't talk about our

relationship right now.

No, Kate, just listen

to me, okay? Please.

Maybe we weren't such

a waste of time after all.

I mean, maybe there's

a reason I was your guy.

What are you talking about?

Maybe I was supposed to help

you find your guy... Leopold.

You got to go back, Kate.

You got to go back there.

Go back?

How?

You have to jump

off the Brooklyn Bridge

within the next 23 minutes.

-J.J.

-Kate?

Oh...

Kate, just look

at the pictures, okay?

Is there a... a Kate McKay

in the house?

Yeah. Here I am!

Kate?

Here she is.

Here she is.

Well, without further ado

the new senior vice president

of our New York offices.

Here she is, ladies and

gentlemen-- Kate McKay.

Whoa, whoa! Whoa.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Quite an entrance, huh?

Thank you, J.J.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Wow.

Well, it's a great night.

We here at CRG have always

considered ourselves

to be in the "Find what

people want" business

and at Jansen, you guys are

in the "Make what

people want" business.

So, imagine

what we can do together.

We'll be able to find out

exactly what people want

and make it... for them.

So... yeah, so our customers...

will be able to get exactly...

Uh...

...what they...

...they want.

And, uh...

...it's a great thing to...

to get what you want.

Uh, it's a really good thing.

Unless what you thought

you wanted wasn't really

what you wanted

because what you really...

...wanted

you couldn't imagine, or you

didn't think it was possible.

But... but what if someone

came along who knew

exactly what you wanted

without asking?

They just knew.

Like they could...

hear your heart beating

or listen to your thoughts.

And what if they were sure

of themselves

and they didn't have

to take a poll

and they loved you...

and you hesitated?

Uh...

And... I have to go.

I, uh... I'm sorry,

but I have to go.

Kate?

Stuart, can you tell me

in short, complete sentences

featuring no words

over two syllables

why exactly

I am in these pictures?

Probably not.

Try.

-Because you were there.

-I wasn't.

I would remember.

Believe me, I would remember

-if I was there.

-Because you're going

to be there.

If we get there in time.

These are pictures

of the past, not the future.

Not exactly.

Theoretically speaking

if you go to the past

in the future

then your future

lies in the past.
