Charlotte shoots him a look.
JOHN:
Its just a pseudonym, it doesn't
matter.
CHARLOTTE:
Why do you have to defend her?
JOHN:
I'm not, but do you have to point
CHARLOTTE:
No, I thought it was funny. Forget
it.
His producer comes up to them. John puts his arm around
Charlotte, kisses her, everything's fine.
PRODUCER:
(looks at his watch)
We should get going.
JOHN:
OK, I'll see you later.
He kisses her on the cheek, and is gone.

feet as she clips her toenails.

she's knitting. She checks the length on herself.
CUT TO:

on the phone.
CHARLOTTE (O.S.)
(voice mail recording)
Hi, leave a message...
We hear the # key as Charlotte hits it to interrupt the
message.
VOICE MAIL:
You have eighteen new messages. Press -
She hits a button.
MAN'S VOICE (O.S.)
Hi Charlotte, I don't know if you're
in town... but I'm having a birthday
party for my dog, Louise, tomorrow
night, at my house around eight...
She pushes a number to delete the message.
MOTHER (O.S.)
fabulous time in Japan! How exciting,
and hope you and your adorable husband
are enjoying it...I was sitting next
to Cathryn Myles last night at this
dinner and she was telling me about
her daughter who had this awful
boyfriend and a messy break-up and
how hard it is,and now she's single
and wants to start a family, I'm so
glad that you're settled, and not in
that situation. Anyway, call me
when you have a chance, I'm trying
to put Thanksgiving plans together,
whether we want to go skiing or.
Daddy wants to stay home and have it
here, which might be easier with
Lauren and the children, but let me
know what your feelings are, I do
hope you and John can make it. Call
me, I love you.
Charlotte pushes a button.
VOICE MAIL (O.S.)
Charlotte hangs up
CUT TO:
Charlotte lies on the bed, in the knit scarf and underwear
She's doing a quiz in a magazine:
"ARE YOU HAVING A MID-TWENTIES CRISIS?
ARE YOU FATIGUED?
DO YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOUR CAREER IS GOING?
CUT TO:
An Olympic pool is framed by tall glass walls with the Tokyo
view. Bob is handed a swim cap and goggles.
Bob watches a Japanese BUSINESSMAN swimming, he looks like
an over-grown baby.
Bob swims laps in the pristine pool.
He continues his laps. Under water he sees the jumping legs
of MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN.
A disco mixed tape starts, and above water we see a WESTERN
INSTRUCTOR in tight shorts leading an aqua-aerobics class to
the group of WOMEN, They jump up and down to Sister Sledge.
CUT TO:
Bob walks past the rows of lockers to the Sauna room.
He sits in the sauna, two HOTEL GUESTS speak German in the
corner.
Bob comes out from the sauna, red and sweaty.
CUT TO:
Bob submerges in the cold water of a small pool in the sauna
room, having a moment of relief.
CUT TO:
INT. CHARLOTTE'S ROOM - DAY
Charlotte lies on the floor with big headphones on, listening
to a book on tape. After a corny music intro, a very serious
scholar man's voice speaks clearly :
DR. KENGARD (0.S.) Did you ever wonder what your purpose in
life is? This book is about finding your soul's purpose or
destiny. Every soul has its path, but sometimes that path is
not clear. The acorn theory is an example of each soul
beginning with an imprint....
Charlotte tries to get into it, but can't get past feeling
like a loser listening to a self-help tape. She looks at the
doctor's photo on the audio-book box, he's bald, in a
turtleneck and glasses.
CUT TO:
INT. HOTEL - DAY
Charlotte follows a JAPANESE FAMILY in formal dress out of
the elevator onto the mezzanine level. She wanders down a
big hall.
She sees an open door and steps in the crowded room, which
is in the midst of a press conference. Cameras flash as Kelly,
with wide eyes, behind a table, answers questions
enthusiastically.
