Last Chance Harvey Page #5

How do you do?

Congratulations.

You look fantastic.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry

I've gate-crashed, actually.

- No, she-

- But it was your father.

He insisted.

No no. It's fine.

I'm sure there's room.

No no no no.

We'll just fit in wherever.

- Excuse me.

- Mm-hmm?

- Could you find them a seat?

- Sure.

Ladies and gentlemen, could I have

your attention, please?

It's time now

for the best-man speech.

Oh. Except we seem to be

missing the bride.

You may have seen her -

dark hair, white dress.

Oh, there she is.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen.

Without further ado,

our best man, Pete Turner.

- Pete:
Thank you, Josh.

- Hi.

And thank you, Jean and Brian,

for such a beautiful occasion and for-

You do know

this is the children's table.

Yes.

I'm gonna need to take you

back to the early '90s,

when a tall,

far-too-cheerful Chicago man...

- Kate:
Hello.

- ... walked into my room at Duke...

- Bit of a chatterbox.

- Mm.

And finally, I'd like to

propose a toast to Susan

for making

my friend Scott complete.

All:
To Susan!

Cheers.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's now time

for the father of the bride

to say a few words.

Tonight, that enviable task

will fall to the ever-charming,

ever-distinguished Brian,

ladies and gentlemen.

Well, that was

quite some speech, Peter-

quite something to follow.

But I will try.

- Brian.

- Yes, Harvey?

Excuse me for interrupting.

I think he said

"father of the bride. "

Ah, yes.

May I?

Go- go ahead, Harvey.

Hi, everybody.

Um...

I think there's something

that Jean and I learned

from our failed marriage,

and that is that it's the children

of divorce that suffer the most,

and the child of Jean and Harvey Shine has

had her share

of pain and disappointment, but-

and this is a tribute to you, Susan - it has

served her well

because she's somehow

separated herself

from the fracture

of her birth family

to become a strong and determined

and independent woman.

And yet...

you've kept your sensitivity

and your vulnerability

and your loveliness...

and you look

quite beautiful tonight.

Um...

- Scott?

- Hey.

You're a lucky guy,

and I'm a lucky guy

because I'm looking forward

to you being my son.

You are my son-in-law.

I've never had a son.

Okay.

Well, no pressure,

but, Jean,

I look forward to grandparenting

with you,

but that's no pressure, Scott.

I toast you, Scott.

I toast your wife...

my daughter.

I toast our family.

And if I can just linger

a moment longer,

I'd like to hand this back to you, Brian, with

a note of gratitude.

Thanks for being there.

I would like to ask you all to please stand

up and join Harvey and I

in a toast to the bride and the groom - to

Susan and to Scott.

Susan and Scott!

## Baby, I'm yours ##

## And I'll be yours ##

## Until the stars

fall from the sky ##

## Yours until the rivers

all run dry ##

## In other words, until I die ##

## Baby, I'm yours ##

Harvey. Harvey.

## And I'll be yours

until the sun no longer shines ##

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Don't cry.

- I won't.

Oh, Susan.

Oh, thanks for coming back,

Dad.

Thanks for having me back.

## Do my best to keep you satisfied ##

## Nothing in the world

can drive me away ##

Huh? Ready?

Whoo!

## Hold it ##

## Don't let go ##

## Baby ##

## Not too slow ##

## Higher ##

## Make me know ##

## Move it faster ##

## Don't let go ##

## Don't let go, don't let go,

don't let go ##

Is that one of yours?

Yes.

It's lovely.

Don't go.

Okay.

- We have to hurry.

- Why?

Because I'm gonna dance

your socks off.

Bye! Bye! Bye!

Okay!

Oh, the bouquet!

Three, two, one!

Yay!

Have a great time.

- Hey!

- Oh, sorry! Bye-bye!

Bye!

- Good luck.

- Thank you, and thank you.

Crowd:
Bye!

Bye.

- You all right?

- Yes. Yes, I am.

- Do you want to get out of here?

- Sure.

Excuse me.

- Oh, really?

- Yes.

- Why?

- "Why"?

Well, you did

about five different dances.

No, no. I mean, why is it called "cutting a

rug"?

I love these fountains.

Children play in them

in the summer.

They sort of sit on them.

They sit their little bottoms down,

and then they get tickled by the water.

They love it.

I don't think

I've stayed up all night...

since I was a student.

You got sad.

Why?

I was pregnant once.

Didn't have it.

I mean...

I didn't think twice about it.

That's what smart girls did.

Yeah.

I do...

I do sometimes wonder,

you know, wh-

whether they would be funny

or clever or...

Oh, I don't know...

neurotic.

Stupid, really.

I don't know why

I told you that.

Meet me here tomorrow, okay?

What?

Right here,

right in this spot, noon.

Okay?

What about your flight?

I don't have to go.

Why?

Oh, shut up, Harvey.

Stop it.

You think that now,

you wait till tomorrow.

Today is tomorrow.

Harvey.

We don't know anything

about each other.

You're, you know-

- Old.

- No, I wasn't gonna say that.

Well, okay, you're a bit older.

I'm...

I can be mean.

So can I.

No. Truly cantankerous.

Cantankerous, I've never been.

I should be going.

I'm very serious.

I'll be here waiting at noon,

okay?

Okay?

Harvey Shine.

Tell me what time!

Noon!

I can't hear you!

Noon!

Top o' the morning

to you, Sir.

I'm afraid they're both out of order, Mr.

Shine.

If you wouldn't mind

using the stairs.

I wouldn't mind at all.

Whew!

- Are you okay, Sir?

- Huh?

What's the problem?

Are you okay?

- Uh.

- Can you-

I'm gonna bring you a doctor.

Just wait here, please.

Sh*t.

Hey.

Hey!

- Morning, James.

- Morning, Kate.

- You all right?

- Ooh!

Actually, can I have, um,

can I have some grapes?

I've got some lovely

seedless grapes today.

All right, then. Give us a little

bunch- three quids worth.

- Okeydoke.

- That'll do me.

Thank you.

Man:
Clutching his chest?

Yeah?

All right.

Sir, you said that you've been

drinking more coffee than usual.

- Yes, but I have to be somewhere.

- And you're under stress.

- You haven't been sleeping well.

- Yes, but I already told the nurse.

Please, I've been up all night, I'm under

stress, but I have an appointment.

Okay, sir, try and calm down.

I just need you to stay tonight.

I have to be somewhere.

It looks to me like arrhythmia,

which is an irregular heartbeat.

Yes. I told the nurse

it's called SVT's.

I've had it since I was a kid, and I left my

medication in New York,

so if you can just make me out

a prescription for Digoxin.

Digoxin, yeah. That's right.

We can do that, no problem.

First, I just need to rule out

all other possibilities.

No, no. It's arrhythmia.

Please, Doctor.

- I have an appointment.

- I'm 99% sure it is arrhythmia.

Nurse, can you do a 12-lead ECG

and send for tests troponin?

You can't keep me here.

No. You cannot keep me here.

Also a thyroid function, please.

Thank you.

And can you arrange a monitor bed

for him for tonight?

Okay, Mama. It's me. Done.

I've got to get to work.

Why don't you stay

and have some lunch?

I can't.

I've got to go.

Not to pry or anything,
