Only You Page #6

- Okay.

Hold hands, that kind of thing?

Wanna look there or at each other?

At each other.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, are you Clifford?

Yeah.

I was asked to give you this, senior.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

No, it's just Amanda. Where were we?

Um, well, you had your arm around me.

I mean, I'm not gonna jump every

time she snaps her fingers, right?

That's probably wise.

I mean, a man's got to

draw a line somewhere, right?

Absolutely. It makes sense.

I mean, you don't,

you get taken advantage of,

and it's gonna take a hell of a

lot more than some goddamn note

to get me to forgive her, right?

- Absolutely. The flash.

- Right, right.

- We were gazing.

- Gazing.

Cliff.

Cliff, there you are.

Didn't you get my note?

Yeah, I got it.

I feel terrible at how thoughtless I was

and I'm just really sorry.

Hi. I just wanted to give you this.

Shake it.

I saw it and it reminded me of you.

Well, I'll see you back at the room.

Bye.

Look at it.

Is that not the most...

beautiful gesture you've ever seen?

Can we finish this later?

And three and four and five and six.

You're jumping, you're running.

Do you have this in a different color?

I'm sorry, I don't work here.

Oh, right. You're that photographer.

Right.

You know, with your face,

you should try something longer.

Sometimes the right pair of earrings

can really change your life.

See?

Very nice.

Nice dress.

Uh, thanks.

Haven't seen you around in a while.

Oh, Amanda and I have been...

ordering a lot of room service.

Oh.

- How's the brochure coming?

- It's coming, you know?

It's hard to find reliable models, but...

Well, I've got to meet Amanda right now,

but I could give you, like,

an hour or something later on.

Mm, I'm running late

for a shoot, but thanks.

Bye.

Get off all the fat.

Clap and jump and clap and jump.

Honey, I want to ask you something.

What?

I was gonna wait until

the New Year's party,

but tonight after, you know, the music,

the lobster, and everything,

it's all too perfect.

What is?

Honey, how long have we known each other?

A week?

Actually, it's six days,

but it does feel like

a lot longer, doesn't it?

What's your point?

My point... my point is that time

is insignificant

to people like you and me

who are so deeply connected to each other

and have this mutual trust

for one another.

And, naturally, out of that trust

comes a certain compassion.

And then that compassion segues naturally

into a sort of firm...

commitment, doesn't it?

Cliff, if you wanna ask me

something, just ask it.

I love that about you,

just the way you're so direct...

- Amanda Hughes?

- Yes?

Telefono for you.

You can take it at the bar.

I'll be right back. Thank you.

Okay, I'll be right here.

Hello?

Hey, bucklehead, it's me.

Max!

Where are you?

Oh, I'm so happy you called.

Amanda, wait...

Amanda, darling...

That's just great.

Just great. Well, I wish you lots of luck

and I hope you both drop dead.

You thirsty?

Can you believe it?

He goes on vacation with his wife

and falls back in love with her.

They're going on a second honeymoon.

That no-good, good-for-nothing,

two-timing son of a b*tch.

Couldn't be better.

Good. Honey, I've been

giving it a lot of thought.

I think we should live together.

I'm the one who should be celebrating.

I want to be with you

through good times and bad.

Through sickness and in health,

- for better or for worse.

- I don't even know what I saw in him.

I know I'm getting ahead of

myself, but if the answer is yes,

he's the one who lost out.

You could be moved

into my house by Wednesday.

-I feel good. -Don't worry,

I have plenty of closet space.

No, I feel better than good.

I feel great.

I was gonna wait, but I can't anymore.

He's gonna wish that... jewels!

What do you say?

I love them.

Say yes. Make me the

happiest man in the world.

Yes!

Play it, Ricardo. Kiss me, you fool.

Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha!

Hey, guys. Kind of day makes you

feel glad to be alive, doesn't it?

- What are you doing?

- What does it look like?

Packing.

I'm leaving, Cliff.

What? Wait...

did I say or do something

to get you upset?

'Cause if I did, I'm not aware of it.

Honey, wait, just stop

packing for a second.

Darling... look, if we're

gonna live together,

you're gonna have to learn

how to communicate with me.

- Stop following me.

- Amanda, please, just talk to me.

Tell me what's going on.

We'll work it out, okay?

- Look, I move around a lot.

- Okay.

It's who I am. Don't take it personal.

That is not communicating.

It's perfect communication.

Wait, okay, obviously

something is bothering you.

You're upset. We'll work

it out like lovers.

We're in love, remember, honey?

Get off of my suitcase!

What happened to our plans?

Everything we talked about last night?

- Remember?

- Please, I don't want to argue.

This isn't arguing.

This is communicating.

Okay? Remember? Wait.

Amanda, stop!

Now, before you walk out

that door forever,

there's something you should think about.

I know why you're doing this.

I'm not the kind of guy you're

used to dating, I understand that.

And you are scared to death

that you're falling

in love with me, aren't you?

For the first time in your life,

what you're feeling, it's real,

and that scares the hell out of you.

But if you walk out that door,

chances are that you will never, ever

meet anybody like me again.

Now, Amanda, darling,

are you willing to take that chance?

Bye, Cliff.

- Good luck.

- Thanks.

You are ready for the big

New Year's party tonight?

No party for me, Reuben.

My girl did a tap dance on my heart.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that,

but there's a lot of that

going around lately.

To love.

It really stinks, man.

Uh-oh, you getting

a head start on tonight?

No, I'm hoping to choke on an ice cube.

I mean, I don't get it.

She just packs up her stuff and leaves.

One minute I'm ordering monogrammed

towels for the bathroom,

then it's back to a table for one.

It wasn't meant to be.

They should have those words

tattooed across my eyelids.

Sean Connery.

Right there. Look at the hairpiece.

Look, I don't want to be cheered up, okay?

I wanna feel pain.

It helps me get my mind off the fire sale

I'm gonna have to have

to pay for the trip.

Miss, how come you're not getting

ready for the big party?

Oh, I'm not real big on New Year's Eve.

I'm just gonna stay in

my room, watch it on TV.

Look, I know I should be

minding my own business,

but I'm a bartender,

so it is my business.

Your girlfriend, she dump right

on top of your head, right?

And you, you're gonna see the

new year in on the television.

Come on, come on. The two

of you should get together,

go to the party, have a good time.

It makes sense.

Why not? You want to go?

Come on, it's fun.

Mm, I'd hate to miss

that TV thing is all.

I'm sure I can call somebody

and have it taped for you.

Come on, 9:
00?

Um, all right.

- Great. Thanks, Reuben.
