Speaking Parts Page #2

I've circled in another appointment

for this afternoon.

- What time?

- During your work hours.

Why?

- It's just that...

I might have to leave

a bit early.

- I'm sure we can be flexible.

My friend was very taken

with you.

- All right.

- Do be careful, though.

- What do you mean?

- This friend was quite smitten.

Remember what I told you

about distance.

Cool mind. Cool heart.

Very playful body.

- This is not an everyday

sort of a situation, Julie.

You could be dying.

Besides, your fear isn't justified.

I've talked to the doctor.

There's nothing to be scared of.

They've done this sort

of operation before.

It's a matter of my feeling to you.

You can't expect me

not to react to this

In what would normally

be considered an extreme...

- You're sure?

- Yes.

- He's what you're looking for?

- Exactly.

- You could be dying.

- You find him natural enough?

- Besides, your fear isn't justified.

- Well, let's think about it.

We have a few more days.

- He's my choice.

- And I respect that.

Now, did you get my revisions?

- Yes.

- And how did you feel about them?

- They're unacceptable.

I hate the idea

of putting in a talk show.

It doesn't add anything.

- Well, it's a unique way

of getting the information across.

Nothing is more boring than

people in a doctor's office

Discussing the disease of the week.

- But it cheapens the point.

- What point?

This isn't one of

your university lectures, Clara.

You're not in a classroom anymore.

We're not presenting a thesis.

We're telling a story.

- My story.

- Look. This isn't the time to argue.

- When is?

- When I'm less bus y.

- You're never less bus y.

- I can't talk like this.

- All right. I'll come there.

- Hi.

- Where are you going?

- I have to go back.

- Why?

- Complications.

I'm sorry I had to leave

so early this morning.

- It's okay.

Are you returning?

- I'm not sure.

- Do we stay in touch?

- Over what?

- Us.

- We can still see each other.

How?

- Lance... what's going on?

I know how upset you get.

You're very special.

You can't let other people

make you feel small.

Let me love you.

- You see, there's a side of me

That sees you all as children.

My children.

Now, I don't mean that

in a negative way.

I am concerned

about your well-being.

And making this as comfortable

a working environment as possible.

If you accept this notion,

Then it's not too difficult

to understand

Why I would have favourites.

And some children

are naturally more lovable.

Others...

Well, others have to work harder

At gaining the attention

they feel they deserve.

Does that answer your question?

- Is Eddy here?

- No.

- Where is he?

- Shooting a party.

- Where is the party?

- Why?

- He wanted me to help him.

- To help him do what?

- Help him tape it.

- Yeah?

- Is Eddy here?

- Who?

- Eddy.

I think he's taping the party.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- Fine.

- I hope this isn't

too strange for you.

- No.

Did you have a good trip?

- Fine.

- When did you get in?

- A couple of hours ago.

- I missed you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I watched your audition again today.

- And?

- It's very good.

- What are you doing here?

- I came to see

if you needed any help.

- No.

- Eddy, why are you doing this?

- Because it's part of my job.

- But it...

- Look.

We'll talk about this later.

Come by the store tomorrow.

Okay?

- Hi there.

- Hello.

- How was your day?

- All right.

- What happened?

- Not much.

How are things in your end?

- Not too good.

- Housekeeping.

Housekeeping.

Your ordered some extra towels.

I'm just going to leave them

on the counter.

- I'm... not the casting director.

- What do you mean?

- I'm the writer.

I was told I'd have

input over casting.

That's why I auditioned you.

They liked your audition, by the way.

You might have the part.

You won't find out

for a couple of days,

But you could find out sooner,

if you want.

- How?

- The producer's assistant

is staying in the room next to mine.

That's where all the casting

information is kept.

You can sneak in there

tomorrow night.

- Sneak in?

- One of the... producer's friends

is getting married.

Everyone will be at the wedding.

- Are you sure?

- Positive.

When you're inside the room,

I want you to do me a favour.

I want you to find me a copy

of the revised script.

It'll be printed on pink paper.

Is that clear?

- Don't you have a copy?

- Why would I?

- Well, if you're the writer...

What's so funny?

- I'm only the writer.

- Is that clear?

- Yes.

- You sure you know what you're doing?

- I just want an interview

with the bride.

That's all. Nothing fancy.

Just get a sense

of her excitement.

Okay?

- Yes.

- I'm trusting you here.

These are very important people.

- How did you get the job?

- I was personally recommended.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

- Are you related to the bride?

- Not... this time.

- Hello, everyone.

I'm... very sorry

I couldn't be there

To share this special evening

with you.

That's her.

And that's the groom.

- Most of us gathered here tonight

Are in the profession

of making fairy tales.

But sometimes,

these dreams come true.

And that's certainly the case

When two people, as special

as Ronny and Trish, get married.

- And then, I saw her in

this little bikini and...

you remember?

- Ron...

I'm wondering if it might be possible

to have a few moments...

alone with Trish?

- What for?

- I'd just like

to ask her some questions.

- About me?

- Would that be okay?

- I guess so.

- This is not an everyday

sort of a situation, julie.

You could be dying.

Besides, your fear isn't justified.

I've talked to the doctor.

There's nothing...

- Congratulations.

- They've done this sort

of operation before.

- Are you sure that's what it means?

- Does it say "final choices"

on the tape?

- Yes.

- Then that's what they are.

...and it's a risk

I have to take.

You're my sister.

I am not going to watch you die.

Okay?

- Yes.

- Did you find a copy of the script?

- Here.

- Turn to page 73.

Read me what it says.

- Are you ready?

- I think so.

- What do you see in Ronny?

- What?

- What do you see in Ronny?

When you look at him,

What are you looking at?

- Him.

- Did it come easy?

- What?

- His love?

- I'm not quite sure if I get what...

- have there been times where it

didn't seem so... certain?

- No. L...

- I mean, these things are

pretty delicate, aren't they?

There is no telling what could happen.

One of you begins to have

second thoughts and...

the whole thing can crumble away.

And then what?

- Scene 87.

A large television studio.

The audience at the tv talk-back show

are excited about today's program.

The subject is organ transplants.

And as the camera...

what's the matter?

- That's not what I wrote.

- What do you mean?

- They've changed my script.

- Can't you complain?

- They'll fire me.

- Maybe if you talked to...

- I've been trying to.

That's why I came here.
