Picture Perfect Page #9

Davenport and his people are coming by

day after tomorrow to hear concepts.

Yes. God.

Can I have a tissue,

please?

Also-And this is

a little complicated for me,

but don't let it spoil

your good fortune-

Davenport has asked me

to move Sela out of the way

and to make you creative

leader on the account.

Whoa.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Oh, no. Nothing.

Oh, it's not-This is not

what you think it is.

It's-It's...

I'm such a klutz. I was

getting dressed in the dark-

Look, I know that this

goes without saying.

Last night was very upsetting

for all of us.

I mean, no one more so

than you, I'm sure,

but everyone here is

working under the assumption

that this part of

your life is over,

that this person

is out of your life.

I mean, with

this big account,

we're all gonna be eating a lot

of dinners, going to a lot of functions,

maybe picking up

a clio or two,

and he is not someone

anyone wants to see again...

certainly not with you.

There's something

wrong with your phone.

No, uh, I waited by it

all day for you to call me back,

and when you didn't,

I figured it out.

There must be something

wrong with it...

Something wrong

with something.

Oh, Nick, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I... I'm a terrible person.

It just sort of got

really crazy here today.

Well, um...

Good crazy?

Well, good crazy,

bad crazy.

Um... I kind of got this enormous

opportunity to, um, do a commercial.

That sounds good.

It is good.

It is good, very good.

Uh...

I mean, you know, as you

can see in front of you,

it's, um...

I'm gonna be working

like mad, you know,

and it means

a lot of late nights

and, uh, deadlines and,

uh, migraines, and, um...

Doesn't really leave a lot

of time for anything else.

Is that the official

change of subject that just went by?

It's just really bad timing

with this, Nick.

Really bad timing.

I want you to have that.

I haven't been around

nearly as much as you, Kate, but, um...

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to

leave that on the night table.

All right. You know,

don't say that, okay?

That's for your travel expenses

and your-your incidentals.

I know what it's for.

Well, what do you

want me to do, huh, Nick?

I mean, you want me

to just quit?

All of this just because you had one nice

conversation with my mother on the phone?

Okay. I'll see you

around, Kate.

Or what? Just lie? Tell them

it was a lie? It was all a big joke?

I mean...

That's a thought.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

Thank you.

I'll leave your key

under your mat.

I mean, you know, Nick,

remember the plan?

You were just

supposed to go away.

Right?

Aimee Mann:
I'm told the case

is now closed

So I can come to my senses

Hi, Mom.

But when the question

is posed

I'll have

this meager defense

I was hopin' that

you'd know better than this

I was hopin',

but you're an amateur

I was hopin' that

you'd know better

But I've been wrong before

Tracy's gonna kill me,

I'm so late.

Second Share

a cab downtown?

My boyfriend's

meeting me at PJ. Clarke's.

Can I bring Sarah?

Yeah, I suppose.

Carlos.

Hey, Kate.

Yeah?

It's gonna be great.

Thank you.

Hi.

Oh. Thanks.

Same thing.

That's two dollars,

please?

Hmm.

Okay.

Sorry.

I'm sorry, I can't-

I don't think I'm going to be able

to present this idea this afternoon.

Really?

Why not?

It's Nick.

Wait a minute. Nick, your, uh,

fianc, the fellow who cheated on you?

Right.

Right, except, uh, he was never my

fianc, and, uh, he never cheated on me.

Well, um,

I'm totally confused.

I know.

He was just this guy that I happened to

have a photograph taken with at a wedding.

I mean, I didn't even

know him.

He was just a stranger,

and when he got famous,

I went and I found him and offered him

money to come and have dinner with us.

I asked him to make a fool

out of himself, and he didn't want to,

uh, but he did it for me.

He did it to please me,

and I did it to please you,

and I'm sorry.

And I'm sorry most of all,

I think, that I convinced myself

that whatever talent I

had meant nothing unless

it came in this package

that everyone liked.

I guess you could say I was

dressing for the job I wanted.

I'll be out of my office

in 20 minutes.

Hey, hey.

Yeah?

There never was a Nick?

No.

You-You just

made him up?

Yeah.

And one of the reasons

was... to be with me?

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Wow.

You-You really are

a bad girl.

I mean...

You really

are something.

Yep. I know.

I am something.

Oh, but you know, Sam...

I'm a good girl.

I think that's always

been our problem,

is, you know, I-

I'm just a good girl.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

I tell you, though, if I ever change,

you're the first person I'm calling.

I hope so.

Okay.

Just, um...

couple of things.

You know, when I-when I applied

for my first job at Young & Rubicam,

I told them that I graduated

in the top 10% of my class.

Well, the truth is I was

lucky to graduate at all.

Oh. Why don't you take a few days off,

maybe-maybe go upstate,

maybe go to Massachusetts?

Hear that music? That means

the main event's about to start,

so you better get in your seat

so you don't miss it. Go ahead.

There she goes,

back to her seat.

Heh heh heh!

Thanks for the watch.

Ok, Nick, I'm sorry.

I'm working now,

you know.

I know. I just wanted

to tell you that, um,

I told everybody

the truth.

Well, that's...

that's great.

Yeah.

That's great.

Good-bye, Kate.

Would you all

please be seated?

Nick.

I-

Dearly beloved, we are

gathered here in the sight of God

and in the face of

this congregation

to join together this man

and this woman in holy matrimony,

and therefore, if any man

can show just cause...

Kate... I got to work.

Just... Kate, just go.

No.

Yes.

- Yes.

- No.

- No!

...forever hold his peace.

Daniel, do you have something

you'd like to tell me?

I've never seen that woman

before in my life...

Uh, I don't think.

Uh, Miss.

You back there.

He's talking to you.

Do you have something to say,

something to tell us?

No. No.

I'm sorry.

No. Holding

my peace.

Got away from me

for a moment, but holding it.

It's held.

I promise.

God.

Oh, my God.

Hi. Could you do me a favor

and hold this for me?

Just point it-Seethe bride

and the groom over there?

You know them, right?

Can I, uh... Miss?

Could we, uh...

Get over here.

Listen, Kate-

I know.

I was calculating and callous.

And manipulative

and condescending and...

Okay.

I miss you.

Look, I know

I don't deserve it,

but I would love

another chance.

You know, I'm not asking for,

like, a ring or anything, you know?

I just want a date.

You know, just a date.

I mean, hey, you know,

I know how you take your coffee.

Okay.

Okay.

You bunny hop?

Huh?

Well, after this

there's a reception,

and maybe after that we could

see a movie or... something.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Thank you.

Unless someone has something else to

say, I now pronounce you man and wife.

You may kiss the bride.
