New York Minute Page #5

- Small favor, Clem. Put a sock in it.

Done, sir.

- Where is he? Is he behind us?

- Yeah.

We drove all the way from Minnetonka,

Minnesota just to see New York City.

The Big Apple.

- They say it's the city that never sleeps.

- I think it will now that you've hit town.

- Red light, red light!

- I know!

Red!

I read the rule book.

I know what red means.

Hi. I need to go to 112th...

Go! Floor it!

- Oh, God!

- What are you doing here?

God, that is so hot!

Would you give me just a little air?

- I can't do this.

- You can do this. Breathe.

- I'm getting killed.

- Stop it.

Whoopsy-daisy!

- Can you drive a little bit faster?

- Do you want to drive?

I'll drive!

I don't know if this would be helpful,

but we do have a loudspeaker.

Sure, we use that for campfire sing-alongs

with our church group.

Testing. Testing, one, two.

Can this be heard?

- Roxanne Ryan, this is the law.

- Go!

- Pull over. Give yourself up.

- I'm being abducted!

You think I'm kidding. I'm not.

You're only making things worse.

You'll be in detention the rest of your life.

So let's end this right now.

- This is kind of fun.

- It's not fun!

Where'd he go?

I think we lost him.

You might wanna look to your right.

Okay, playtime's over, Ryan.

Let's put the toys away and go home.

- Pull over!

- Turn right here.

You're going the wrong way!

- I thought you said right here.

- Times Square's the other right.

I have it under control.

Yeah, right. Then where are we going?

What are you doing?

Signaling. I know the rules.

Hang on, people.

Why are we reversing?

It's a one-way street!

- We're going the wrong way.

- No, but we're facing the right way.

- You're mine now, Ryan.

- It's too tight. We're not gonna make it.

- We'll make it.

- We're not gonna make it!

- Who's the professional here, you or me?

- I wanna say you.

Go!

Look, there's a gate!

I'm sorry.

- Take some of that.

- Are you trying to kill us?

I just saved your life,

and you're criticizing me?

- Welcome to my world.

- What's that supposed to mean?

It means you're always

looking down on me.

- Looking down on you?

- Yeah.

I've been looking out for you.

Hey. Let me out of this car!

Thanks for nothing!

- How have you been looking out for me?

- Are you insane? That's all I ever do!

The one day, the one time I want it

to be about me for a change...

...I get inducted into the Roxy Ryan

School of Juvenile Delinquency.

I've been trying to help you

from the minute we left.

Lot of good that's done.

Where are you going? I'm not finished.

Yeah, well, I am.

Why don't you run along and have fun.

That's what you're good at.

As opposed to you, which is walking away

whenever we have a real conversation?

I don't have time for a real conversation.

- I'm too busy taking care of things.

- So who asked you to?

You did. The minute you stopped taking

responsibility for anything since Mom died.

That doesn't mean you get

to be her replacement.

You know what I miss most about Mom?

Is that she loved that we were different.

And you punish me for it.

From the day Mom died...

...you've done nothing but push me

out of your life.

- I have not.

- Oh, come on, Jane.

The biggest day of your academic career,

and you didn't even bother to invite me.

Well, forgive me for wanting the day

to be about me for a change.

I make honor roll, Dad doesn't notice

because you're in detention.

I'm captain of the cheerleading squad,

and Dad can't come to one game.

One game, because he's busy going

to your parent/counselor meetings.

You wanna know why I want

this fellowship abroad?

It's because it's 3000 miles

away from you.

Well, I really hope you get it, then.

Roxy.

Don't you worry. I'm not going to let

the mean little man hurt you.

Hey, I don't know who you are

or what your game is...

...but you've caused me a great deal

of inconvenience today.

Not to mention, I am this close

to missing my speech.

So let's have it. Let's have it.

You finished?

Ancient Chinese proverb:

You snooze, you lose.

- Anyone, help!

- Let's take her to Ma.

Perfect timing.

Hello!

Help!

Help!

- Help me!

- Hello?

Roxy?

- Trey?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing in there?

- Can we talk after you open the trunk?

- Thanks.

- Are you okay? What happened?

I'm coming to find you, next thing I know,

this limo guy just shoves me in there.

Just when you think the day

can't get any worse.

- You okay?

- I just got in a huge fight with my sister.

She was gonna give a speech today.

Now she won't win the fellowship...

...because there's no way she's getting

there on time, and it's all my fault.

You sure about that?

- Do you wanna take a field trip right now?

- Yeah.

- Come on.

- Okay.

Taxi!

Now, it's just you and me.

All alone. No excuses.

Come on. Drink this.

Drink this, and then the chip

will come out.

This goes in here, chip come out here.

I'm not kidding around. Drink it.

See?

Like that. Hey, that's pretty good.

Come on.

This movie isn't out yet.

Neither is this CD.

So that's what these guys are up to.

Just listen to me. Give me that chip.

You don't want me to use this, do you?

I don't even know what this is.

But it's not gonna be pleasant.

Now, give me the chip!

Look into my eyes.

I'm torturing you.

It's unbearable!

Bennie! This is your idea of torture?

It's pathetic!

We do it my way.

Cats have nine lives.

I wonder if little doggy does.

Okay. I hope they haven't started.

I can't run in these heels.

The increase and/or decrease

in a nation's productivity...

...or other such political aggregate...

...can be regarded as the penultimate

indicator of a nation...

Go see what she's doing.

Make her stop! Go.

Cut it out in there! You make a mess,

you clean it up.

Sorry!

- He bit me!

- Get it off of me!

Come on, Reinaldo. Come on!

Come on.

- Hey, stranger.

- Would you like to save my life?

- I have 28 minutes to go 111 blocks.

- I could do that.

- Where'd they go?

- Bennie, where are they? Let's go!

- Okay.

- Hold on.

Hold on, okay?

- You all right?

- Yeah.

This is it.

I don't see her.

Jane Ryan?

- Yeah?

- You're late. You're on next.

- Are you sure you know what you're doing?

- Look...

...I got her into this mess,

I have to get her out.

Plus, how hard could it be reading

a bunch of note cards?

Just go with me on this one.

Okay, yeah. You're gonna do great.

- All right. See you out there. Good luck.

- Thanks.

Nice blazer, Muffie.

Oh, gridlock!

- Do you have a horn?

- We'll take a shortcut.

Hey, what are you doing?

Sorry.

Excuse us.

- Sorry.

- What's the matter with you?

In this instance, we must defer to the

famed economist, Adam Smith...

...who laid the foundation of a free market.

Mother.

What are you doing here?

I'm honorary chair of the McGill Fellowship.

What are you doing here?

- I wanted to see you present the award.

- Well, that's very sweet.
