The Bachelor Page #4

The Starlight Room, now the helipad.

Can you show me the look?

Was it...

or...

I don't know,

'cause I didn't see it.

I'm sorry about the money, but

the woman I love just walked out on me.

Maybe forever.

You can't walk away from that money.

You saw that video.

If you don't get married, you're cut off

without a goddamn cent and f...

So I won't get the money.

I've been fine without it so far.

You don't understand.

The will provides that all assets

are to be sold for cash...

including Shannon Billiards.

Can't wait till we're alone.

Welcome onboard Virgin Atlantic Airways

nonstop service to London...

- I love you.

- continuing on to Athens.

our flying time will be

approximately 18 hours.

Will all ground crew

please leave the plane.

Are you saying oden Sports

could buy the company?

I'm telling you

oden Sports will buy the company.

These guys are like locusts.

They buy you out, lay people off

and strip the place clean.

- The plant will be gone within a week.

- We're screwed.

Not necessarily.

You have until just after 6:00

tomorrow night.

That makes, what...

27 hours and change.

Find someone to marry.

Fine. I'll get married

just for you.

Well, I'd be happy to entertain

any better ideas.

Anyone?

I'm not hearing anything.

Hear this.

I found someone to marry.

Not to be callous, Jimmie...

but Anne already

told you "no" twice.

They're right, Jim.

You made the decision

not to tell Anne about the money.

over is over.

Sid and I are seeing

one of your ex's tonight.

She's organizing the fund-raising ball

at the Steinard.

- Buckley?

- Not Buckley.

So it won't be Buckley.

Find someone else.

I'm sorry.

Jobs come and go. Businesses too.

But Anne is...

There's only one Anne.

It's real easy for you three to tell me

to walk away from the woman I love...

but this is my life

we're talking about.

My life.

Surprise!

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

What about their lives?

This time next week

they'll be out of jobs.

over 200 families

without providers.

Women thrown out

in the freezing cold.

Children going to bed

on empty stomachs.

Well, if you're really

gonna close down the plant...

now's the time to do it.

For he's a jolly good fellow

Which nobody can deny

Big 3-0 tomorrow!

Let's go have some cake!

As I recall...

the first ten years of marriage

fly by like no time at all.

Really?

No.

I don't want to talk about it.

okay.

- What are you doing?

- Cooking.

What are you making?

Is it me?

I mean, am I just really bad

at being proposed to?

It couldn't have been worse

than "you win".

Don't underestimate the guy.

That shithead!

He can't commit.

He can't commit. It's over.

What do you mean, he can't commit?

He's constantly asking you to marry him.

But you're not there when he does it.

You don't see what happens to him.

He completely goes to pieces.

His jaw locks, his eyes get all big,

he starts fidgeting...

and he completely goes

to this other place.

It's like he's not even there!

He's not even there!

I know what you need.

- I'm not going home with you.

- Come on. Please?

It'll be good for you.

Being with them will make whatever

you're going through feel like nothing.

okay. But if they start,

you're taking me out drinking.

Deal.

Come on, gorilla.

We in Manila.

Come on, gorilla!

This is the thrilla!

Well, well.

Well, this is quite a collection.

Let's land you a trophy wife.

- How about Monique?

- No. Dull.

It's between Stacey and Zoe.

Stacey was terrific, but...

Zoe was always there for me.

Clingy, I think you said.

Forget about "there for you".

Who do you want to spend your life with?

Anne.

Choose.

Stacey.

Jimmie Shannon!

Long time no see.

Too long.

You look beautiful.

The hair.

That's new, isn't it?

Said like a true guy.

So, pull up a chair.

- Quiet in your pit today, huh?

- It's the oPEC conference, so we wait.

It's not a great day

for a tour of the exchange.

That's not exactly why I'm here.

This is gonna seem sudden...

but something completely unexpected

came up and I thought about you...

because of...

I've always had great memories

of when we dated.

Me too.

The thing is, my grandfather

passed away last week...

I'm so sorry.

Kuwait walked out!

Buy! Buy!

Fourteen contracts!

Fourteen contracts, right here!

Nineteen bought! Done!

You were saying

about your grandfather.

He left me some money.

A lot, actually.

Five!

A hundred million dollars.

Sell it!

But there's a condition.

Size! Size!

Six! Five! Five!

- Up five...

- Here's the deal.

To get the inheritance,

I gotta be married tomorrow.

I know it's sudden,

but are you interested?

She's engaged.

Engaged or married?

- 'Cause if she's only engaged...

- Forget about it.

It ain't happening.

So you'll marry Zoe.

She was always there for you

anyway.

Zoe!

Can't breathe.

Me either!

oh, I'm so excited.

I can't believe this is happening.

I've waited so long.

What about what's-her-face?

Anne.

She said no.

oh, I am just so thrilled

that you would think of me next.

oh, my God.

How far down the list am I?

Third.

But what does that matter?

I'm here because of

all the wonderful times we had together.

We did have

some pretty magical times.

In between you leaving me every

now and then, saying I was too clingy.

Zoe, I'm sorry.

I just...

If you forgive me now and marry me,

I promise I will never leave you again.

Swear to God that you will

stay by my side always?

It'll just be you and me forever?

Come on, Natalie.

We'll miss the train.

Anne?

I thought you were Anne.

I'm sorry.

Zoe!

Clingy!

He calls me clingy!

Must be a fire sale.

I can't believe you.

Zoe was a lock. A lock!

only one man would tell a broad she's

third on his list while he's proposing...

Jimmie Shannon!

She burned me in effigy.

Rita bites her nails.

You adjust.

What's this one's name?

llana?

Love llana!

Cute, funny.

A bit theatrical, but she'll do.

Hey, if you happen to see Anne again,

just remember...

she's on a plane to Athens.

Hey, not your shade of green, jerk-off?

Come on! What am I doin' here?

The Napa Express

is in the station...

and continuing on to Redding

and Portland, oregon.

The Napa Express is departing

immediately at 7:23.

All aboard!

Anne?

What are you doing?

I'm documenting my first day

of being single.

- Great, because we just missed our cab.

- You know, I'm really lucky.

I came that close to making

the biggest mistake of my life.

That close.

That close.

Come on and tell

the nice cab man.

- I thought you said she was dying.

- She is dying.

Perfect.

Encore! Encore!

- Keep the change.

- From a 20?

- Wasn't that a four-dollar cab ride?

- The poor guy had to listen to you.

You think he went to work thinking, "l

hope I find out about Anne and Jimmie".

I'm sorry.

I'm stopping. I'm stopping!

Not another word out of me

about Jimmie.
