Message In A Bottle Page #2

---

00:
10:32,266 -- 00:10:34,336

l can't believe he did this.

105

00:
10:34,641 -- 00:10:36,231

l can't believe it!

106

00:
10:36,599 -- 00:10:39,429

-Why are you so annoyed?

-lt's wrong to print it.

107

00:
10:39,808 -- 00:10:43,408

lt's private.

lt's somebody's intimate thoughts.

108

00:
10:43,933 -- 00:10:45,523

lt's not your letter!

109

00:
10:45,849 -- 00:10:48,519

l know it's not my letter.

l found it.

110

00:
10:48,891 -- 00:10:51,251

ls this personal?

ls that why you're pissed off?

111

00:
10:51,849 -- 00:10:54,409

l'm not pissed off! l'm just. . .

112

00:
10:55,474 -- 00:10:57,274

. . .a little pissed off.

113

00:
11:19,473 -- 00:11:22,513

You had your chance

at the Christmas party.

114

00:
11:23,639 -- 00:11:25,279

Morning, doll.

115

00:
11:27,473 -- 00:11:28,433

Look at this.

116

00:
11:29,556 -- 00:11:32,466

Letters to the paper about

the message in the bottle.

117

00:
11:32,847 -- 00:11:33,677

What?

118

00:
11:33,972 -- 00:11:36,252

And two more boxes.

Take those to research.

119

00:
11:36,597 -- 00:11:38,987

l found him in the mailroom.

Nice ass.

120

00:
11:39,347 -- 00:11:41,337

Charlie wants us to drop everything.

121

00:
11:41,680 -- 00:11:43,350

And do what?

Answer all of them?

122

00:
11:43,680 -- 00:11:45,990

Go through them and

count the pros and cons.

123

00:
11:46,347 -- 00:11:47,697

Get rid of the nutso letters.

124

00:
11:48,014 -- 00:11:51,534

Then we'll do excerpts. The paper

wants us to milk it. This is big.

125

00:
11:51,930 -- 00:11:53,730

Bigger than

the low-fat muffin scandal.

126

00:
11:54,055 -- 00:11:56,015

Bigger than

the mayor and the teacher.

127

00:
11:56,347 -- 00:11:57,667

lt's amazing.

128

00:
11:58,597 -- 00:12:00,397

''Your column sucks the big one. ''

129

00:
12:00,930 -- 00:12:02,050

-Negative, l think.

-Listen.

130

00:
12:02,346 -- 00:12:04,706

''lf only more men would have

the sensitivity. . .

131

00:
12:05,055 -- 00:12:07,525

. . .to talk about how they feel,

instead of. . .

132

00:
12:07,888 -- 00:12:09,878

. . .hiding behind

the Sports Channel--''

133

00:
12:10,221 -- 00:12:12,341

''My niece sent it to me.

134

00:
12:12,679 -- 00:12:14,719

lt might be from the same person.

135

00:
12:15,054 -- 00:12:17,014

So l'm enclosing it here. ''

136

00:
12:19,304 -- 00:12:20,104

What?

137

00:
12:21,721 -- 00:12:22,841

What?

138

00:
12:24,012 -- 00:12:24,972

''Dear Catherine. ''

139

00:
12:25,471 -- 00:12:27,861

No. Are you kidding? Really?

140

00:
12:28,220 -- 00:12:30,210

Out loud. Read it out loud.

141

00:
12:33,220 -- 00:12:36,740

''Dear Catherine:

There isn't an hour without you in it.

142

00:
12:37,179 -- 00:12:39,089

l mend the boats, test them. . .

143

00:
12:39,428 -- 00:12:42,548

. . .and all the while

the memories come in like the tide.

144

00:
12:43,970 -- 00:12:45,960

l thought today

of when we were young. . .

145

00:
12:46,303 -- 00:12:48,973

. . .and you left our world

for a bigger world.

146

00:
12:49,345 -- 00:12:52,225

l was a lot more scared

than l would admit.

147

00:
12:52,803 -- 00:12:54,313

l fought my fear. . .

148

00:
12:54,636 -- 00:12:57,276

. . .by telling myself

you'd come back someday. . .

149

00:
12:57,636 -- 00:13:01,426

. . .and trying to think of the first

thing l'd say when l saw you again.

150

00:
13:01,844 -- 00:13:04,914

l must have tried out

1 00 possibilities.

151

00:
13:05,636 -- 00:13:07,546

What did l finally say?

152

00:
13:07,886 -- 00:13:09,036

Not much.

153

00:
13:09,344 -- 00:13:12,464

My mouth wouldn't work,

except to kiss you.

154

00:
13:13,677 -- 00:13:15,717

When you said, 'l'm here to stay' . . .

155

00:
13:16,052 -- 00:13:17,692

. . .that said it all.

156

00:
13:18,719 -- 00:13:20,309

Well, l'm doing it again.

157

00:
13:22,844 -- 00:13:26,154

l keep imagining what l'd say to you

if somehow you came back. ''

158

00:
13:27,802 -- 00:13:30,312

Bob. lt's Theresa at the Tribune.

159

00:
13:30,885 -- 00:13:32,685

l know, it's been a while.

160

00:
13:33,010 -- 00:13:34,600

l've got something for you.

161

00:
13:34,926 -- 00:13:36,076

lt's two traces.

162

00:
13:36,385 -- 00:13:39,135

A sheet of stationery

has an imprint on it.

163

00:
13:39,510 -- 00:13:41,870

Also,

where do l go for a typewriter trace?

164

00:
13:42,301 -- 00:13:43,861

The typewriter you're looking for...

165

00:
13:44,176 -- 00:13:46,606

. . .is an Olympic Herzfogen 980.

166

00:
13:47,009 -- 00:13:48,569

German. And old.

167

00:
13:48,884 -- 00:13:51,524

Would it have been sold commercially. . .

168

00:
13:51,884 -- 00:13:53,524

. . .in the last 30 years?

169

00:
13:53,842 -- 00:13:55,402

Well, it's been re-keyed.

170

00:
13:55,717 -- 00:13:58,947

People who like manuals

buy these reconditioned.

171

00:
13:59,342 -- 00:14:02,542

This letter was probably typed

within the last 5 years.

172

00:
14:02,925 -- 00:14:04,325

So he's out there.

173

00:
14:04,675 -- 00:14:06,235

And he could be young.

174

00:
14:06,884 -- 00:14:07,714

You'll like this.

175

00:
14:08,009 -- 00:14:10,399

Remember the report l did?

Cork came back.

176

00:
14:10,759 -- 00:14:13,719

lt's been in the water

approximately two years.

177

00:
14:14,092 -- 00:14:15,572

That's it? Two years?

178

00:
14:15,883 -- 00:14:17,283

Thank you.

179

00:
14:18,633 -- 00:14:19,623

Don't look at me.

180

00:
14:19,925 -- 00:14:21,115

Aqua glass.

181

00:
14:21,425 -- 00:14:22,415

Eighty-nine. . .

182

00:
14:22,758 -- 00:14:24,558

. . .looks like an ''A. ''

183

00:
14:25,216 -- 00:14:26,696

l'm sending you Polaroids.

184

00:
14:37,633 -- 00:14:39,303

That sounds great.

185

00:
14:40,216 -- 00:14:42,126

You like the baby, then?

186

00:
14:43,424 -- 00:14:44,774

You're always so busy.

187

00:
14:45,091 -- 00:14:47,371

l never get a chance to talk to you.

188

00:
14:48,007 -- 00:14:49,517

-Hang up!

-Hang on one second.

189

00:
14:50,465 -- 00:14:54,295

Remember the message

on the restaurant wall in Virginia?

190

00:
14:54,715 -- 00:14:56,865

The stationery, the logo

and the typewriter are there.

191

00:
14:57,215 -- 00:14:59,965

Hit line five.

She's waiting for you.

192

00:
15:00,340 -- 00:15:02,770

-l never get to talk to him.

-Call him back.

193

00:
15:03,298 -- 00:15:04,288

Can she fax it?

194

00:
15:04,590 -- 00:15:07,180

Fax it? lt's Virginia.

Ellie's House of Crabs.

195

00:
15:07,548 -- 00:15:09,218

How do l know if

she has a fax machine?

196

00:
15:09,548 -- 00:15:10,778

Have her fax it.

197

00:
15:11,506 -- 00:15:12,656

Fine.

198

00:
15:14,173 -- 00:15:16,813

Right. Tell me about Bunker Hill.

199

00:
15:23,798 -- 00:15:25,868

''To all the ships at sea

and all the ports of call.

200

00:
15:26,214 -- 00:15:29,574

To my family and to all

friends and strangers. ''

201

00:
15:29,964 -- 00:15:31,844

-No ''Dear Catherine''?

-Not this time.

202

00:
15:32,172 -- 00:15:34,212

The stationery

and typewriter check out.

203
