Lost in Translation Page #14
CHARLOTTE:
Oh.
BOB:
We used to have fun, she used to
like to go to places with me for my
movies and we would laugh at all the
weirdos, but now she's tired of it
all. She never wants to leave the
kids, she doesn't need me, and they
don't need me, I feel like I'm in
the way. It gets complicated when
you have kids... that changes
everything.
CHARLOTTE:
That's too scary.
BOB:
When they're born its like Vietnam.
It's terrifying.
CHARLOTTE:
(getting tired)
No one ever tells you that...
BOB:
But, it's great being with them,
after they can talk, and can do things
with you.
CHARLOTTE:
That's nice. My parents were always
traveling, they weren't around so
much.
BOB:
Where'd you grow up?
CHARLOTTE:
In D.C., my dad was the Ambassador
to France in the eighties, so we
went to school in Paris for a few
years... but we mostly lived in D.C.,
and they were never around... and
then I moved to Los Angeles when
John and I got married... it's so
different there.
They are starting to get tired.
BOB:
I know.
CHARLOTTE:
John thinks I'm so snotty.
BOB:
You are.
CHARLOTTE:
I know, but that's what you like
about me.
She looks over at him. He does like her.
CHARLOTTE:
Why do you have to be with your
opposite, why cant similar people be
together?
BOB:
Because that would be too easy.
They fall asleep dressed, on top of the sheets, on opposite
sides of the bed.
FADE OUT:
EXT.STREET BASKETBALL COURT - DAY
Full of life, Bob plays basketball with some local guys.
All over the court, and towering over the other players, Bob
dominates the game.
CUT TO:
Bob looks at himself in the bathroom mirror, he feels his
stubble and sees that it's turning grey.
He opens the hotel shaving kit. He squirts shaving cream
from the child-size can. Even the razor is small. He covers
his face with shaving cream when the phone rings.
BOB:
Hello?
RECEPTION:
Mr. Harris, we have fax for you!
BOB:
Ok.
RECEPTION:
Do you want I send it to your room?
BOB:
(sarcastic)
Great.
RECEPTION:
Thank you, Mr. Harris.
He hangs up and shaves.
CUT TO:
INT. HOTEL GROUND FLOOR LOBBY - DAY
Bob gets out of the elevator- the Suntory group is waiting
for him. He ducks behind a wall and sneaks out a side entrance
of the hotel.
Bob comes out of the hotel into the sunlight. The street is
crowded with MOTORCYCLE GANGS going by, one waves a big flag.
Bob watches the strange scene in the street for a moment,
and then makes his way past.
CUT TO:
EXT. DAKINYAMA - DAY
He walks down a little street in a more old-fashioned
neighborhood. He's wearing new techno sneakers. He makes a
call on his cell phone.
BOB:
Miss Kawasaki? It's Bob Harris...
I'm not going to be able to do that
interview today.., yeah... ok....
Yes, I'd love to stay to be on his
talk show... sure.. ok... bye.
A light rain starts as he looks at a fax from Charlotte with
a map she's drawn and tries to figure out where he is - there
are no street signs.
Bob finally finds the small restaurant. The automatic door
opens for him, and Charlotte, at the bar with the cute chubby
SUSHI CHEF, turns to Bob happy to see him. He is disheveled
from the rain and adorable.
He sits down next to Charlotte, she pours him a beer and
orders for him.
CHARLOTTE:
You made it.
BOB:
They really have to work on that
street name thing.
A perky recording voice says "Kornichiwa!" from his pocket.
CHARLOTTE:
What's that?
He pulls a pink Hello Kitty watch from his pocket.
BOB:
It's for my daughter.
CHARLOTTE:
How old is she?
BOB:
Four.
