New Year's Eve Page #7

- We talked, all right?

I went on and on about the business

and how our stock had just gone public.

She stops me, she puts her hand

over mine and she says:

"That's all great, but how's your heart?"

"How's your he--?" Who says that?

- I mean, I never met anyone that said that--

- Please. Please.

Did you at least kiss her?

Yes. At midnight.

And that's it?

Well, I went to the restroom a little

bit later and when I came back...

- ...she was gone.

- Oh.

- She left something on the table.

- Naked picture?

Let me see.

Read it out loud, Maude.

"Things are complicated.

If you're still thinking about me

in a year...

...meet me back here

at La Gambina Trattoria...

- ...at midnight next New Year's Eve."

- Midnight next New Year's Eve.

You memorized it.

You're gonna meet her, aren't you?

Yeah, I don't think so.

I mean, I don't even know her name.

You're afraid.

She's not gonna be there.

It was one night. It wasn't even real.

But this napkin is. And you've been

carrying it around for a year.

I mean, you went out

for a slice of pizza...

...and you may have run into the one.

You know what that is?

- Insanity?

- Not insanity.

Serendipity. Hmm?

- And you don't mess with serendipity.

- What's the worst that could happen?

She doesn't show up,

you go back to your party.

Oh, that's not it at all, is it, Sam?

You're afraid that she will show up.

I'll tell you what.

I'll take care of this for you.

- I can tap this.

- He can tap this.

I'm gonna step up and tap this for you.

Look, I'm a widower.

- Right?

- Forgive him.

- Hey, sis.

- Have you heard from Hailey?

- Calm down. What, is she AWOL?

- Yes.

It's New Year's Eve. She's a teenager.

She's being her mother's daughter.

- Can you hold on for one second?

- Yeah, sure.

I can't see.

I was never that defiant.

I mean, you should've seen

the way she looked at me.

I'm confused.

I thought you had plans tonight.

I sort of did.

But I chose to be with Hailey...

...and now she's gone.

I'm not really worried about Hailey.

I'm more worried about you.

If you're not working...

...you need to have some fun. Let your

hair down. Leave the clogs at home.

Oh, great, more clog commentary. Ooh.

Goodness. I'm so sorry, sir.

Listen, Paul, right now, all I really

need to do is just find Hailey.

All right, look.

She's a good kid, okay?

If she did happen to call her cool uncle

to say where she'd be...

...she may, in fact, have said

the 54th Street pen.

But please don't rat out the cool uncle.

Paul, thank you. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Excuse me.

Wait, wait! Sis, hold on.

- I got a huge favor to ask.

- Anything. What, what, what? What?

Be amazed."

I got it.

Ingrid, please don't let this

whole thing be ruined...

...because I'm a big-mouthed idiot.

I'm sick and tired of being that guy.

Please, Ingrid.

Please.

Come with me.

Come on! Let's go.

On one condition.

- Whoo!

- Yeah, there you go.

Here we go!

- See? All right, right turn. Lean into it.

- Aah!

Lean, lean, lean

- That was a nice speech.

- Well, I was just trying to save my job.

No, I don't think so.

I think you were talking about you.

Okay, maybe I was,

but all I can do is reflect...

...and try and do better next year.

Or sooner.

Now, why'd I tell you about him?

I'm a New York cop.

People, they tell me things.

I'm sure he's forgotten it by now.

You should go.

I don't move until the ball moves.

This is so exciting.

In my entire life,

I have never won a contest before.

And I'm also excited about the baby.

I think that's the most exciting thing.

- Anchovy man.

- Yam liar.

- Grace, I'm gonna sign us in, okay?

- I'll just be right back.

- Griffin Byrne, checking in.

- Schwab, very proud to check in this hotel.

I'm sorry about James.

He's very competitive.

Well, I should apologize too.

I really didn't mean that anything was on.

Ooh.

- Contractions?

- Six minutes apart.

We have five minutes apart.

- Cervix?

- She has one.

- Four centimeters dilated.

- Four? We are five-- Six-- Seven!

Maybe eight.

Don't you show your head to me,

young lady!

Not yet! Papa will tell you

when it's time, okay?

- Oh, please don't yell at my vagina.

- Oh, I never will.

It's amazing.

She really listens to James.

She just crawled right back up in there.

The nurses will take you to your rooms.

Gentlemen, to your corners.

And, ladies, may the best va-jay-jay win.

Good luck.

- Let's see it. Ha-ha-ha.

- Let's see it.

La la la

Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll sing.

- You don't like my voice?

- You draw. I'll sing.

Laura, can we take a break?

Jensen's going on in a minute.

Do you want to go see?

No. I'm a professional,

I can't be seen gawking at the talent.

Well, I'm gonna gawk.

Ahh. I'm gonna try to get close to the stage

to get spit and sweat on.

When the road gets dark

And you can no longer see

Let my love throw a spark

And have a little faith in me

And when the tears you cry

Are all you can believe

Just give these loving arms a try, baby

And have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

'Cause I've been loving you

For such a long time, girl

Expecting nothing in return

Just for you to have a little faith in me

You see, time

Time is our friend

'Cause for us, there is no end

All you gotta do

Is, baby, have a little bit of faith in me

I said, I will hold you up

I will hold you up

I will hold you up

I will hold you up now

All you gotta do

Is have a little faith in me

You see, time is our friend

Oh, baby

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

Have a little faith in me

All right, let me see.

Let me see.

That's me?

I look crazy.

- Do you have any other hobbies?

- Ha-ha-ha.

Hey.

There you...

You're so good.

You always were.

I'm not really that good.

Yes, you are. Yeah.

I was thinking about the ball drop...

...and how that always

used to be our thing.

Remember when I took you to New York

for the first time?

We watched the ball drop together?

You remember?

That was our night.

And I promised you we'd bring--

We would go back there...

Well, another promise I didn't live up to.

I'm sorry.

Now, why did I leave you?

Stan, I'm Aimee.

Remember? Nurse Aimee?

Hmm?

Oh. Right.

Right. Aimee.

Call me back or I'm gonna give away

your ticket. I'm gonna give it away.

Paul, it's me, Murray. Are we ready to go?

Let's go!

Ladies and gentlemen,

one-night-only engagement.

Radio City Music Hall is proud to present,

on her resolution tour:

Ingrid Withers!

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling

Ring-ting-tingling too

All right.

- Oh, my God. Whoo!

- Bravo!

Bravo!

Are you amazed?

I'm amazed you got me to do this!

Amazing!

"Be amazed"? Check.

Come on, it's lovely weather

This is great.

This is great. Okay.

Okay. Let me down now.

We've been stuck in here for hours.

I can't believe nobody's found us yet.

- We could have our own party.
