Only You Page #3

---

He didn't even call.

Amanda, you have to forget about him.

He's probably in Rio by now,

working on his suntan,

sipping on coconut teasers.

By the pool with that

selfish wife of his.

That son of a b*tch.

Think he's wondering about where

you're spending your Christmas?

You think he cares? I don't think so.

Where was his concern last night

when he knew the condition

you must have been in?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

For all he cares, I could have been

picked up at that bar by some lowlife

sleaze monster rapist.

Exactly.

Amanda, look at it out there.

I mean, 85 degrees...

beautiful, white, sandy beaches.

Palm trees swaying gently in the breeze.

But it's up to you.

You can spend your Christmas alone

in cold, snowy, crime-ridden Chicago...

or in this paradise here with me.

I don't have any clothes.

Oh, I've got a pocketful of cash.

Well?

Don't rush me, I'm thinking.

Now you just think

about what's best for you.

There isn't anybody waiting

for me back home, is there?

Just those deep, painful memories.

It is terrible being alone

for the holidays.

It's the worst.

You aren't a psycho

or anything like that?

I'm a registered voter.

Okay.

Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay!

- Look at the fish tank!

- That's huge!

A great, big, sunny sandbox

surrounded by water.

That's how we see ourselves.

Francine, I'd like you

to meet Clare Enfield.

She's from Sunray Tours.

- Nice to meet you.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

She'll be taking photographs

of our beautiful Mandalay Resort.

If there's anything at all you need,

Francine will take care of you.

- Thank you.

- Good luck.

So I'm sure you have done millions

of these brochures before.

This is the first one, actually.

Oh, I'll make it as easy as I can.

Thank you.

How about if you see the pool first?

I know that woman.

Come on, Cliffy.

What do you want to do first, honey?

Feliz Navidad.

Oh, Cliffy, you have a way of making

me feel ever so much happier.

Honey, when you're happy, I'm happy.

- I'm ecstatic.

- We'll take that one, too.

Yeah, we'll take it.

Just what do you do for a living?

I'm a... a designer.

Architectural consultant, actually.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Oh, I love guys with creative minds.

Is any of your stuff on display

at the Art Institute?

Oh, you go there often?

Actually, I've never been.

Oh, 'cause my stuff's

all over that place.

You know what I think, honey?

No.

I think fate brought us together.

Actually, it was the tequila.

Yes, that's true. Tequila and fate.

To dreams.

You wait long enough,

there's a pot of gold

at the end of every rainbow.

I always knew it could be like this.

My best friend thought I was crazy,

but I knew it was just a matter of time.

I mean, all the best things in life

are worth waiting for,

aren't they, honey?

I know, it's perfect.

I mean, flaming torches,

swaying palm trees,

vintage wine,

and the food... I mean, look at the food.

There's romance in the rice.

At this moment...

could you ever imagine even

wanting to be somewhere else?

I'll be right back.

- Hello?

- Jeannie? Hi.

- Are you in trouble?

- No, no, no, I'm good. I'm fine.

- Did Max call?

- No, no, he hasn't.

Oh, okay, well, when he does,

will you give him a message?

Yeah, sure.

Tell him I'm at a beautiful resort

having a great time

with a fabulous-looking guy

half his age with a full head of hair.

Okay, you have to hold real still.

I know it's heavy.

Perfect. Thank you.

Um, no, no, no.

I'm sorry, that's not...

- Oh, my God.

- It is you.

Oh, my God. Hey, I'll

get your money back.

- No, no, no, you don't...

- I will, I swear!

I do, I do understand. I do, I do.

A broken heart is definitely

a medical emergency.

- Yeah, I know it is.

- Really, no, I've been there.

- I've had a broken heart.

- Well, I'm sorry.

- Hey, I've had a broken heart...

- Will you just calm down for a second?

It's definitely medical. It's like...

Of course it's medical, but...

It's like swine flu or something.

Will you please just hold still?

Thank you. Look, if it weren't

for you, I wouldn't be here.

It's not me. It was company policy.

No, no, what I'm trying to tell you

is it all worked out.

- You're not here alone?

- No, and I owe it all to you.

That and the fact they don't pick

up garbage on Christmas Eve.

Look, I owe you a drink. Cliff Godfrey.

Uh, Clare Enfield.

Nice to meet you.

Cliffy?

She looks different in person.

Oh, that's not her.

I mean, that's her, it's

just a different her.

Oh, well, the important thing is

you didn't eat the ticket, right?

Right.

Is he with you, too?

I gotta go.

I love the way the moon

reflects off your hair.

It's so... it's so reflective.

Mm, I feel like doing

something spontaneous.

Spontaneity? I love spontaneity.

Especially when it's not planned at all.

- Ta-da.

- Oh, good.

You wait right here.

I'll go get the suits, okay?

We don't need suits.

We don't?

'Course not. Damn things

take forever to dry.

Damn, I lost an earring.

It must have fallen off.

They were my favorites.

Don't worry, tomorrow I'll turn this

place upside down to find it, okay?

No, I have to go back now.

I just couldn't concentrate.

Okay, you wait here, I'll go back, okay?

No, I'll go. It'll save time.

No...

When I come back...

I don't want to see you wearing these.

Okay.

I'm turning into a prune here.

Think spontaneity, Cliffy.

I would love to go for a ride.

What do you do?

Oh, I'm an entrepreneur.

A businessman, you might say.

- Big business?

- Big business.

Come on, let's go.

He's naked.

Let's kick 'em in.

Hey, mister, what are your

clothes doing in the hot tub?

Sh*t.

Hey, folks.

Ah.

- Cliff.

- Hello, darling.

I found my earring. Isn't that terrific?

That's fantastic.

Forgive me if I don't jump up and down.

Why are your clothes all wet?

Well, it's a long story,

but I was under the impression

that you were going

to return to the Jacuzzi.

I didn't know you were going to

stop off here and have a beverage.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just

lost track of the time.

Well, these things happen.

And who are we?

Dmitri, he helped me find my earring.

Oh, that's wonderful.

If we ever lose anything

again in the future,

I'll be sure to contact you.

Let's go, honey.

- Cliff?

- Yes?

Why don't you go back up to the room

and get out of these wet clothes

and I'll just finish up my drink

and we can pick up where we left off?

Okay.

Okay, you hurry, okay?

Okay.

Ladies, the woman...

the woman for the night.

Tonight.

The lovers.

They had the same priest,

and he said, "Father, we have sinned."

He said, "Well, I can't

let you back into the church"

unless you abstain from sex for a week."

Blast off.

Oh, God. Morning, honey.

Morning.

What happened?

I needed you last night, Cliff,

but you looked so exhausted,

I just couldn't bring myself to wake you.

Great.

So I slept in the tub.

You were out cold.

Honey, do me a favor.

Next time, wake me, okay?

Okay.
