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.

l transform ordinary spaces

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

five offers before noon.

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:
rez

and 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

to her mother after a week!

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

my crazy schedule and...

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,

is already there on business.

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

how I'm going to change it.

We're just gonna

knock down that wall.

You see? If we open up

the kitchen a little,

l think it flows better

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.
