My Sassy Girl Page #2

- Yeah, be there at 7:13.

- Definitely not nice.

- Charles Bellow.

- Charlie.

- Hmm.

I'll take a red.

- Ah!

- Red for the lady.

And for you, sir?

- Um, I--

I think the--

I think the white.

So red, yeah.

- OK then.

- So what happened?

- Well, you, uh--

- I can't hear you.

- You were completely drunk.

You almost fell

on the subway track.

I pulled you back

at the last instant.

You called me darling,

then you passed out.

I assumed responsibility.

I carried you back to my place

and somebody called security

on us-- on me-- on-- for you.

- I called you darling?

- Yeah.

- I think I remember that.

But I seriously

doubt the rest of it.

Jordan Roark.

- Rork.

- Roark.

R-O-A-R-K, Roark.

- OK.

- What are you studying?

- Uh, business.

- Are you smart?

- Uh, maybe a little.

I don't know.

- Well, most smart

people are smart enough

not to have

to study business.

Thank you...

for not leaving me on

the subway bench, Charles.

- You're welcome.

Um, and it's--

it's Charlie, please.

Uh, am I allowed to ask you

why you were dead drunk in

the middle of the afternoon?

- Goin' through

a reckless phase.

- And wh-- by that,

you mean...

- Don't know what it means?

- No, I--

- Guess you're

really not smart!

- I know what the word means,

I'm--I'm asking you

what--what you mean.

- What do you care, Chuck?

- Charlie!

And um, I'm interested.

- Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.

Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck.

Chuck! Chuck!

- OK, um...

I'm gonna go, Jordan.

Uh, I hope that you get

through your reckless phase

and that you have

a relatively happy

and disaster-free

rest of your life.

Um, goodbye.

- My fiance broke up with me.

Uh... Uh, it's OK.

Here.

- You carry an handkerchief?

What are you, an asthmatic?

- No, I-- Where I'm from,

people carry handkerchiefs.

- Where are you from? 1850?

Is it clean?

- Yes.

- Fine.

Here.

- No, you--you can keep that.

- No, you take it.

- OK, I'll, uh...

Uh...

-...we can get them

away for a while.

- You want some?

- Yeah, thank you.

I, uh, OK.

Why did he, uh, why--

Why did he break up with you?

- Well...

I like bananas.

- You--

OK, um...

It's OK.

It's, uh... It's OK.

Uh...

Hi, um, uh, Manhattan.

Jordan Roark.

- Huh?

- No, no.

Just sleep. It's--

Uh, hi.

No, not you.

Uh, Jor--

R-O-A-R-K.

- Roark.

- That many?

OK, let's,

uh, start downtown.

- # Downtown... #

No, not here.

- No, man.

We don't know any Roarks.

- Bye now.

Have a nice night.

# Anyone #

# Anyone #

# Anyone #

- Hi. Good evening, sir.

- Good evening.

Um, do you know her?

- Yes, sir.

Were there any

other expenses, sir?

- Can I just get you to

tell me her name in case--

Just to make sure.

- Her name is

Jordan Roark, sir.

- Roark.

- Were there any

other expenses?

- Uh, no. No.

- Keep it.

The Roarks thank you

very much, sir.

- Yeah.

- Sir.

- Hi, Jimmy.

How was your day?

- Ah, you know, the usual.

Held some doors, said hello.

- Is she gonna be OK?

- Yes, sir.

- Can you give her

some aspirin, some water?

Yes, sir.

- Thank you.

- Uh, anytime there, Spanky!

- Ah, yeah.

5th and 11th.

Whoa!

- We now have dealerships

in all 50 states,

including Alaska and Hawaii.

Now, of course,

we made our reputation

on big, heavy farm machinery,

but we also

have a line of mowers

that is second to none.

What?

- Oh please,

oh please, oh please...

- Is there a Charles Bellow

in this room?

Damn it!

- Yes, sir.

- Mr. Bellow,

I believe you'd better go

with this young lady.

- I--I don't--

I don't...

I don't think

that'll be necessary.

- Oh, Mr. Bellow,

I believe you had better go

with this young lady.

Now, if there is anything

we prize

at the Tiller King Company,

is a man with the strength

to take responsibility

for his own actions.

- Yes, sir.

- Now...

- Hi!

- Hi. What--what--

What are you doing here?

- Come play with me!

- What?

- Come play with me.

It's a beautiful day.

- No, I-- First of all,

I was in the middle of a--

- No, I--I took care of that.

- Yeah, whoa!

What did that note say?

- Nothing.

- No, what did the note say?

- It said that I just found out

that I'm pregnant

with your child.

- No, don't scream,

'because it's gonna

make it worse.

- Why-- You don't--

You-- You--

Do you have any idea

what you've done?

That's--that's--

that's the Tiller King

representative in there.

That's my future in there!

- Really?

- Yes!

- How sad!

- I can't believe that you--

- Well, fine!

But as practical matter, Chuck,

you really can't go

back in there now.

So you might as well

spend the rest of

the day with me!

- Sometimes,

you start relationships

and sometimes they start you.

# Here we go... #

- Come on, little Chucky!

- Anyway, that's how ours began,

the way true love

generally begins,

with drunkenness, imprisonment

and the destruction of

a lifelong dream.

OK.

- It's OK!

Faster!

- $60, $80, $100.

- Faster!

- I love this gig!

- Oh good!

I like that!

Keep going like that.

#... Counting all

my regrets about you #

# Thought about me #

# Thought about all

the things we'd ever be #

# Thought about you #

# Thought about me #

# Thought about all

the things we'd never be... #

Smile, would ya?

Whoa!

Come here.

# I thought about you #

Whoa!

Whoo!

- In her spare time,

she liked to write stories

for movies,

which she called "treatments".

Um, she would make me read them

while she watched.

- Turn the page, already!

- I-- Give me a minute!

- Aw! Parrots read

faster than you.

- OK, you know what?

I--I need to concentrate.

So...

- Hey!

Excuse me!

Hey! Don't throw your cigarette

on the ice like that!

- Why don't you

have me arrested then?

- I'd do better than that.

How 'bout that, huh?

Ow! What--

- Pick up the cigarette!

- I'm not gonna--

What's your problem?

- You're the only one here

that's smoking!

- "It's the year 2037.

"The heroine Rose

has travelled back in time

"to try advert

the Titanic disaster,

"but none of the pig-headed men

of the shipping company

"have listened to her pleas

"and the ship has sailed anyway

"and crashed into the iceberg

all over again,

"proving Rose's theory

that men never learn,

"they just keep on making

the same mistakes

"over and over again,

"but each time

in nicer... pants.

- Oh, Jack. You get on the trunk

and I'll get in the water.

- No, Rose.

I'll be fine.

I'll freeze to death.

At least you'll live.

- Oh, Jack, shut up, would you?

You're so damn dramatic.

You get on the trunk.

Stay close, darling!

- OK.

Tell the band to play on!

Women and children first!

- Aren't you cold?

- I'm fine!

Don't be

such a p*ssy, Jack.

I'm was king of the world!

- I have to say

I found the Rose/Jack

relationship a little troubling,

but I kept that to myself.

- What? What do you--

- Pick up that cigarette!

- Hang-- hang on!

- Get back here!

All I want you to do

is pick up the cigarette!

- You're a little bit nuts!

- Come here!
