Leap Year
LEAP YEAR (2010)
Morning, gentlemen. Feet.
So happy you're here.
This is the third
open house and not one bite.
Well...
Don't worry.
l have everything
under control.
Anna, you are a Realtor?
I'm a stager.
l stage apartments for Realtors.
into something special.
Most people don't know
what it is they want until l show it to them,
and so many places
need my help.
Oh!
Not the Davenport,
of course.
It's just a very fine line
between elegant and dowdy.
l just think maybe
a quarter-inch higher.
Plus an eighth of an inch?
We'll get it right.
Ow!
You did that on purpose.
Knock it off.
As I'm sure
you're aware,
apartments at the Davenport
don't come up very often,
and we have more than
our share of applicants. So, why you?
l have lived in Boston
my entire life,
and l have always
dreamed of living here.
And thankfully,
l have found somebody who shares that dream,
and l can assure you
that you will not find two people more in sync
with your exceptionally
high standards and,
if l may be so bold,
your taste.
Thank you.
Wow!
With a bit of luck,
we might get some offers.
Come on, Charlie.
You know it's not about luck.
It's about preparation.
Put these in the oven
half an hour before you open
and you'll have
No luck needed.
Okay, say it with me.
Three bedrooms.
Three bedrooms.
Concierge.
Concierge.
Full gym and swimming pool
looking over the common. l mean, come on!
Don't get cocky.
Why, you don't think
they liked us?
l like us.
Don't you like us?
We're okay. All right.
Okay.
Here we go.
Ready? And...
Ugly!
Excuse me?
Not you, sweetie.
It's Mr. Sheinbaum
e-mailing me updates
of his double bypass.
I'm glad
l skipped lunch.
No, no, no,
this is good. This is good,
because this way
l don't have to go in. We can go to dinner.
Studio apartment,
two offers already.
That's 'cause
you're a genius.
Have you packed yet?
Your flight's at 11:00.
I'm fine,
just you don't be late.
We've got an 8:
rezand they're strict.
When am l ever late?
When your dad
comes out of the woodwork
demanding to
see his daughter, that's when.
l have to go, Jer.
l haven't seen him in weeks.
Okay, just wouldn't want
you all riled up for our very special dinner.
You know l don't
like surprises.
You'll like this one.
See you.
Oh, Anna,
this is gonna blow your mind!
What'd you buy?
A lot, l got a lot,
but that's not it.
l wanted to
tell you something.
Guess who l saw
coming out of DePrisco's?
Who?
Jeremy!
You did? When?
On the way here.
The cab was stuck
in traffic and l look over,
and he's walking
out of the store
carrying that little red bag.
The bag.
There's only one reason
people go into DePrisco's.
You're gonna have
a better engagement ring than me, you big jerk!
Oh, my God.
Did you know?
No. l mean, l did put
his name on the mailing list a couple months ago
hoping he'd get the hint,
but...
Oh! He got the hint!
l think he got the hint!
Okay, hold on,
we gotta work on your surprise face,
'cause l don't want him
to know l told you...
Okay, ask me.
Ready?
Will you marry me?
What? Are you scared?
That was awful. Try it again.
Okay.
Try it again.
Mmm...
Bigger eyes.
And maybe a little, "Who, me?"
The good news is,
you have time to practice between now and then.
Can l marry you?
No, thank you.
Already married, huh?
Getting engaged.
Engaged?
Dad.
My daughter
is engaged?
Garon! Champagne!
Let's have a couple
of beers, banana.
I'll get them.
You're gonna
be married.
Jack Brady.
Import-export, real estate. Glad to meet you.
She's been four years
with the guy. What was he thinking?
l proposed
l proposed to her
after half an hour.
Exactly!
Where's the lucky guy?
Packing.
He has a cardiology convention in Dublin.
It's a good thing
that Jeremy finally came around.
You might have
had to follow him to Ireland this weekend.
It is leap year,
you know.
Dad, do not tell
that story again.
Why not?
It's a family myth.
It is the
honest-to-God truth!
That's what Grandma Jane
did to Grandpa Tom.
They'd been dating
for a while and he was dragging his feet,
so she finally suggested
they pay a visit to the old country.
February 29th,
Dublin, Ireland, she hits him with it.
Boom!
Ring on finger,
signed, sealed, delivered.
Well, I'm not going
to have to pull a Grandma Jane.
That's my girl.
I'm finally going to get some grandkids.
Dad, I've got to go.
Mmm-mmm.
No, l just got here!
Yeah, well
you were late. We said 7:
Oh!
I'm just happy
that we want the same things.
You know,
you always have it figured out for us.
l mean, even with
You know
l appreciate it, right?
So...
So this is for you.
Jeremy.
They're earrings.
Yeah.
For my ears.
Oh! Sorry.
Oh, God.
Dr. Sloane. Hey, Bill.
Oh! Sounds like
you're gonna have to go in from the spine.
Send me a photo.
I'll have a look. Okay? All right. Sorry.
Why don't you
try them on?
Oh! Sorry. Sure.
Yikes. There's an aorta to write home about.
Look at that.
Honey, not here.
Yummy.
So, l...
It's not gonna work.
I'm so sorry, Anna.
Bill says l really "aorta" go in.
Look,
he actually wrote that. He wrote "aorta."
So I'll pick up my bag and just
go straight to the airport when I'm done.
Forgive me?
Of course.
Okay.
l am so sorry.
l love you.
l love you.
Love you.
All right.
You "aorta" run.
It's a good thing
that Jeremy finally came around.
You might have had to
follow him to Ireland this weekend
and pull a Grandma Jane.
It is leap year, you know.
"Leap-year proposals
are an old folklore tradition
"that dates back
to the 5th century."
Sure.
In Ireland,
there's this tradition
that in a leap year,
a woman can propose to a man on February 29th,
one day every four years.
Will you marry me?
Yes.
That's ridiculous.
Are you traveling on business or pleasure?
I'm going to propose
to my boyfriend on leap day.
Are you now?
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Jeremy, my boyfriend,
We've been together
four years. Four years.
It's a long time.
It's not like
I'm rushing anything by doing this, you know.
He bought me earrings.
Don't get me wrong, they're beautiful,
but earrings
don't exactly say commitment.
Not that commitment
is an issue.
l mean, we're buying
this apartment together and it's perfect.
l know exactly
We're just gonna
knock down that wall.
You see? If we open up
the kitchen a little,
into the dining area.
Just creates
a more free overall...
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain speaking.
It looks like
there's a spot of bad weather up ahead,
so we may experience
just a little bit of turbulence.
I'm getting engaged.
I'm getting engaged.
I'm not gonna die
without getting engaged!
This is your captain
here again, ladies and gentlemen.
