Speechless Page #5

Pero yo quisiera repetir

El cansancio que mi hiciste sentir

Con la noche que me diste

Y el momento

que con besos construiste

No se tu

Pero yo te he comenzado a extranar

En mi almohada no te dejo de pensar

(phone)

- What?!

- I need to know what that lip tattoo said,

- I can't believe you!

- I've stared at the ceiling for three hours.

- My little overachiever.

- Look, if I apologise, will you tell me?

OK? I'm sorry about the ditch,

but, you know, I really didn't know

you were with the other campaign,

so I didn't know that I was stealing.

And as far as the TelePrompTer goes,

well, hey, you know, I...

Boy, I... You know, that got outta hand.

You know, I'm a...

I got a comedy background,

and, uh, it was too good to pass up.

I got weak. I got weak, and I'm sorry.

It won't happen again. How's that?

- OK. Good night.

- "Good night." On the upper lip?

- No. Good night, Kevin,

- Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait,

Julia, listen to me for a second,

I've got to tell you something.

Go ahead.

Well... well, what are you doin' right now?

I mean, can you help me out for a sex?

Sec, Did I say sex? I meant sec.

Just for a second?

No! With what?

Uh... Pfft, damn car. Damn car problem.

(sports reporter) The problem with

the Broncos is they got no offensive line,

So... how you been?

The only reason I agreed to meet you is...

Why? Did you miss me?

...I'm engaged.

I wanted you to know, that's all.

Anyway, uh, what was it

you needed to tell me?

Uh, nothin'.

(honking)

- Hey. Car trouble?

- No. No, I'm fine.

Nice rental.

Did you see the, uh... the polls?

We're sliding.

Yeah, that's temporary.

We're gonna get him on that...

(Kratz) On the what?

The, uh... the thing we were talkin' about.

- What thing?

- The thing wi... uh... with the other thing?

What? The... What? What on earth...?

The... the fish? The porpoise?

The whale? The...

- Can we talk about this later?

- Oh...

Let's not talk about it now! OK?

Julia, is something wrong?

You're acting kinda unfocused lately.

- What? Unfocused. I... Wha...?

- Never mind. It's all right. We'll talk.

What? Uh, wh...

That's it, Kevin. You're on your own.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I've been thinkin' about what you...

Wait! Wait a second.

Look, congratulations on the engagement.

I mean it.

There. See? There's no reason

we can't be friends now.

- What? We're in a campaign!

- So? It...

What's the matter... Look at these hands.

You can't go back to the hotel like that.

OK, a framed picture of JFK

in the living room?

In the kitchen. You're good at this.

You bet. You probably graduated

near the top of your class.

- Uh, valedictorian.

- Ooh, very near.

And you were class clown, no doubt?

I was voted Most Likely

to Embarrass My Family.

- You would've hated me in high school.

- No, I would've avoided you.

- Did you always want to write sitcoms?

- No. I always wanted to write.

I was a speechwriter before,

then I found out

I believed in my words

more than the candidates did.

So I quit. You know,

sitcoms are depressing too,

but the money's a whole lot better.

- Hm. You're so funny.

- Why?

You're cynical on the outside,

but on the inside...

What? Not like Bob?

Is Bob warm and gushy on the inside?

Is that why you guys decided

to get engaged again?

We just need some time, that's all,

to, uh, fall in love again.

- What?

- Nothing.

- How come I don't trust you?

- You know, I honestly don't know.

- What the hell are you doing?

- Take your shoes off.

OK.

Hey, Julia.

What would you do if...

you weren't campaigning?

You know, what if you... if you were...

Well, what if you quit?

I won't quit. I spent ten years

on losing campaigns.

- Clinton made it, now it's my turn. Why?

- You want some advice, Julia?

You're a regular Dear Abby, aren't you?

Get in here. Put your feet in.

Your boy Wannamaker... He's a total stiff.

- Aiee! Hey!

- It warms up.

- Ohh.

- You have nice feet.

Thanks. Well, you know, I work out.

- Yours aren't so bad either.

- I like feet. They... reveal things.

Yeah. They say something

about somebody's personality.

- My advice, Julia?

- Hm?

Wannamaker needs a "ya-see-Timmy".

- A what?

- A "ya-see-Timmy".

At the end of every episode of Lassie,

Timmy's mom said "You see, Timmy..."

- And she'd teach him a lesson.

- I can't believe I'm listening to this.

It was always hopeful, it always had heart.

That's what his voters want.

They just wanna see if the guy's

got anything going on inside.

When? When does it get warmer?

Why are you telling me this?

It doesn't do you any good.

You're right.

I'm doing it because... I like you.

That, and... I know Wannamaker

can't pull it off anyway,

so I'm not really worried about it.

Boy, he doesn't get it. Campaigns

are about one thing only: Winning.

No, they're about changing the world.

I hate that. I hate how people

treat it like it's a game.

Like it's all some race,

with winners and losers.

What we do affects people.

And the people who'll do anything to win

do anything to keep on winning.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Cos I haven't heard anybody

talk like that in a long time.

You should run.

- Julia?

- What?

I wanna tear your clothes off.

- Hey!

- Hey!

- Hey, you...

- No!

All right! Truce! Truce!

All right, wait, wait, wait.

Really a truce this time.

All right? I mean it.

It's just immature and foolish.

Look, your hair's a mess.

- Julia?

- Don't. I know what you're gonna say.

- I can't.

- They're going to fire you on Friday.

(sighs)

Why do I do these things?

(TV) The president's note read "America

is proud of your courage and diligence,"

"All we can do now is pray,"

And that seems to sum up the mood

on this, day 15 of Bear Watch,

Michelle?

(Michelle) How have local children

reacted to Teddy's dilemma?

Child psychologist Lydia Stern,,,

At a certain point you don't worry about

the scuds any more. You just do the job.

Cos the audience has a right to know.

God, he's much sexier in person, huh?

So I've enjoyed these experiences

all over the world - Grenada, Belfast,

- lately in South Africa.

- I heard he was gay.

Oh, come on. He's engaged.

Well, he was whistling show tunes

in the elevator.

(hums "Just in Time" by Tony Bennett)

- Hey, top you off there?

- No, no. I can't drink that much.

- Can you do this? Here. Try it.

- Why?

I don't know. Haven't you ever done

anything just to do it?

- Like get a tattoo? You ever get a tattoo?

- Yeah, once.

- Where?

- Maui.

No, I mean... you know...

- Hey, d'you hear I'm gettin' married?

- Yeah, I heard.

- Yeah. Dumb move.

- Huh?

You don't really know that many

married people who are actually happy.

- What are you doin' it for?

- Oh, man. My life - I need some security.

Hey, you see that? Iraq. Shrapnel.

Wow.

See that? Guy threw up on me

once in a bar in Pittsburgh.

- Whew! Brutal.

- Yeah.

Hey, uh, let me run

something by you, Bob.

- You can call me Baggie.
