Regarding Henry Page #5

---

Um... uh... in this case.

Which one?

M- Matthews.

East Shore Hospital,

your famous last case.

Yeah, yeah, we said that

the hospital wasn't responsible

because Mr. Matthews didn't

tell them he was a diabetic.

Yeah, that was the argument.

The hospital wasn't responsible

because they didn't know

the guy was on insulin.

Yeah, but, look, um... in this

file, um, this... other patient,

uh, Miss McNair,

uh, said that

she heard Mr. Matthews, uh

tell the nurse he was diabetic,

but-but she didn't

write it down.

Um, so... um, we, we're saying

they're not responsible but,

but we didn't tell them

about this lady's statement.

So what?

Come on, Henry.

Put it away.

Put it back in the file.

But, so...

What we did was wrong.

What we did is paying

for our lunch.

So everything's okay?

So everything's okay?

Still love me?

Yeah. When are you coming home?

Uh, I'll be home by dinner.

Don't spoil your appetite.

Okay, you, too. Bye-bye.

"Mix until... creamy.

"Drop... spoonfuls on...

greas-ed... cookie sheet. "

Let's make one big cookie.

You can't.

It doesn't cook.

I tried it once.

Oh.

Were you scared...

at the hospital?

Um...

at first, yeah.

But then it got okay, right?

Yeah, then it got okay.

'Cause I start school soon.

Sleep-away.

What-what do you mean?

I'm going away.

Wh...?

Well, no... no one... told me.

Are you scared?

Do you still want me to go?

Me? No, I...

No, I-I, no.

Really, 'cause I could,

I could go to school

around here.

Well, I don't want you

to go anywhere, but...

I'm not sure it's up to me.

Is it up to me?

Well, look,

I'll-I'll talk to Mom, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Maybe she could... stay home,

and-and go to school

somewhere around here.

It's what we agreed on.

That school only takes

30 kids a year,

and Rachel's one of them.

There's got to be a few things

that we decided

that I can count on.

It's a great opportunity

for her.

And for us.

I think it's important.

I...

I saw a house today.

A place I think'd be

much better for us.

It's so big here,

don't you think?

I found someone who wants

to buy this apartment.

And I want to show you

this house.

You think we should move?

I do.

And you think Rachel

should go a-away to school?

Yeah.

Okay.

Oh...

Hi, Rachel.

Hi, Jennifer.

Sweetheart.

This is

a wonderful school.

And see, you already

have a friend here.

I hate Jennifer.

You're going to meet all sorts

of very nice girls.

I don't think so.

Of course, you are.

Honey.

One of the things I do remember

is-is my first day at school.

There were all these...

weird-looking kids,

and I didn't know any of them,

and they didn't know me,

I was-I was scared.

But after two days,

we were all laughing

about-about how scared we were.

Everybody feels like you do,

honey, everybody.

Take care of Buddy.

I will.

Try and teach him

how to sit, okay?

Okay.

Well...

you don't want

to miss orientation.

Henry. That's great.

I didn't know you

remembered your school.

I don't.

Hey.

How you doing?

Hmm. I miss her.

Mmm...

Me, too.

We'll see her on Parent's Day.

Look, there's Cassiopeia.

And...

there's the Big Dripper.

And the Little Dripper.

Hmm.

So strange,

the things I remember.

Is this okay?

Yeah.

You know,

since you've come home,

we haven't made love.

I mean, if you're nervous

or something,

we could talk about it.

Well, yeah,

I'm a little... nervous.

Um, okay, well, re...

Really nervous.

Very nervous.

Why?

Well, um...

I don't know, I...

Look, I saw...

I saw this movie, and...

Well, I don't know if-if I can

do it like that guy did it.

Here.

Touch me.

Sarah?

Mm-hmm?

Tell me how we met.

Uh...

it was at Chris Liner's

birthday party.

You were a hot, young lawyer,

and I was answering phones

at Harper's Bazaar.

I was standing in the doorway

smoking a cigarette...

back when I used to smoke...

and you just came up to me.

"I'm Henry," you said,

"and you're beautiful. "

I did?

That made me completely

self-conscious.

You had such confidence,

you just drew me in.

We talked for hours.

Ignored everyone.

And then the girl

you were with got mad

and wanted to go.

And as you left,

you handed me your card

and said,

"Have you ever eaten blowfish?

'Cause I know this great

blowfish place. "

It made me laugh...

and I went home

and told my roommate

I'd met the man

I was going to marry.

I like it.

Hey, watch where you're walking.

...in the living room,

next to the couch.

We'll get to keep the dining

room table, right?

Right, right.

Okay.

What?

Does this bother you?

No.

Then why are you looking

at me like that?

Because you never

used to hold my hand.

Oh.

You didn't like showing

affection in public.

It bothered you.

Why?

I don't know why.

You don't know why?

No.

Me, either.

What are you doing?

Come up here.

Henry, what?

Come here.

I don't mind so much anymore.

Sarah?

Phyllis, hi.

Hi.

I thought that was you.

Hello, Henry.

Hi.

This is Phyllis and Daniel.

They were at Charlie's party.

Hello, Phyllis and Daniel.

Henry.

Well, um, no, I,

I was going to call you,

because, I'm having

a- a housewarming on the 20th.

I'd love it if you'd come.

Okay.

Okay, thanks.

All right, then, uh, we'll talk.

It's good to see you.

I'll call you.

Big kiss.

Okay.

Jessica, I'd like to see the

file on Stephenson v. Murray.

I'm sorry, Mr. Turner, I can't.

How come?

I'm not allowed to give you

any more of your old case files.

No one can believe

what you've done.

I just moved in

everything that I love.

It's amazing.

I said, "I don't even want to

see swatches for six months. "

You're kidding me.

I mean, it looks like

you've lived here forever.

Just all my old

favorite things.

A hundred?

I think this is the nicest

house you've ever had.

I agree.

I feel like I'm home.

Hi.

Hello, darling.

How's Henry?

Oh, he's fine, he's here.

Marvelous.

Seven brothers

and sisters, huh?

That's right.

Is it really hot in Memphis?

Very hot.

Hey, how you doing?

Well, these little ones

are really good.

But that lady over there

in the gold dress

thinks they're a disaster.

And that other woman

n- near the window?

Mm-hmm?

Just had her face done.

Not her neck, just her eyes.

And that other man

used to be her husband,

but who is she kidding,

the damage is done.

Such a shame.

I mean, he was so good.

He really was.

Henry represented my cousin

three years ago.

He was the best, the best.

Everybody was terrified of him.

Of course,

I've known Sarah forever.

I heard he's back at work.

Yeah, but doing what?

Getting paid for doing nothing

doesn't sound so bad, does it?

It's not Henry I feel sorry for,

it's Sarah.

It's like

she's got two kids now.

Worse! What does

she possibly have

to look forward to?

It is such a shame.

Christ, one minute

you're an attorney,

the next, you're an imbecile.

That's not a very long trip.

Phyllis, I am afraid we, uh,

we can't stay for dinner.

I just wanted

to say goodnight.
