The Extra Man Page #9
OF CEMENT.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I THOUGHT MAYBE I WOULD
CONTRIBUTE A SONG
TO THE NEXT RALLY.
I THINK IT KIND:
OF WORKS, MAYBE.
- ( hisses )
- WHAT?
IT'S A LITTLE
CORNY, NO?
OH.
- IT'S NOT FINISHED YET.
- ( chuckles )
THAT'S NOT VERY NICE.
OKAY. I'M SORRY.
I JUST--
I JUST BELIEVE:
THAT HONESTY:
IS SUPER IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
COME ON.
LET'S GO TO BED.
THAT SURPRISE YOU GOT.
READY?
WELL?
Narrator:
THE YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S
HEART SANK.
HE LOOKED NOTHING LIKE
WHAT HE HAD IMAGINED.
IN FACT,
HE WAS HORRIFIED
BY WHAT HE SAW.
WAIT WAIT.
I FORGOT THE JEWELRY.
BUT WITH THIS CRUSHING
DISAPPOINTMEN:
CAME A GREA REVELATION--
DESPITE HIS OCCASIONAL
PENCHANT FOR WOMEN'S CLOTHING,
LOUIS IVES DID NOT WAN TO TRANSFORM HIMSELF.
THERE WAS NO WOMAN
INSIDE HIM DYING TO GET OUT.
HE DID NOT LONG:
OR THE GIRLS:
AT SALLY'S.
THIS IS WRONG.
- IT'S ALL WRONG.
- NO!
NO. NO, YOU LOOK
REALLY NICE!
IN FACT, STANDING THERE
DRESSED AS A WOMAN,
HE NEVER FELT MORE
LIKE A MAN IN HIS LIFE.
WHAT?
WHAT THE HELL:
ARE YOU DOING?!
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T THINK
IF I WAS PAYING!
- WHAT?!
- PLEASE, STOP YELLING.
- YOU, A**HOLE!
- WHAT?
- I JUST DIDN'T UNDER--
- WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
HENRY!
WHAT--
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
- GET OUT OF MY HOME!
- WHAT'S GOING ON?!
- GO, GO!
- SH*T!
- ( Sandra screams )
- GET OUT OF MY HOME!
- Sandra:
FREAKS!- GO. GO.
- F***ING FREAKS!
- GET OUT!
- JESUS CHRIST!
I TRUSTED YOU.
I TRUSTED YOU.
I TRUSTED YOU.
- HENRY--
- HERE WITH EVERYTHING
I OWN.
HENRY, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
WERE COMING HOME SO SOON.
I HAD TO.
VIVIAN DIED.
OH MY...
GOD.
HENRY, I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
I DON'T WAN YOUR SYMPATHY.
- HENRY, PLEASE.
I WANT YOU:
OUT OF MY APARTMEN BY THE TIME I GET BACK.
PLEASE WAIT.
HENRY!
HENRY, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY!
LOOK, OBVIOUSLY
I HAVE SOME ISSUES!
MMM.
BECAUSE I DESPERATELY
WANTED YOUR FRIENDSHIP.
BUT THE REAL TRUTH IS
I DON'T EVEN
KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
NOBODY SEEMS TO.
- ( tires squeal )
- ( screams )
( crashes )
Narrator:
AS LOUIS IVES' VEHICLE
WAS HAULED AWAY...
SO WAS HIS ENTIRE
FOUNDATION.
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME
SINCE HE MOVED THERE,
LOUIS IVES CONSIDERED
GIVING UP:
ON MANHATTAN ALTOGETHER.
( door buzzes )
( speaking softly )
- MORNING, LOUIS.
- MORNING, GEORGE.
FAREWELL, MY VIVIAN.
I SHALL ALWAYS BE
YOUR MOST DEVOTED
ROSEN KNIGHT.
( knocks,
clears throat )
YOU WANTED:
TO SEE ME, GEORGE?
YEAH. YEAH, I DID.
SIT DOWN PLEASE, LOUIS.
IS SOMETHING...
WRONG?
THERE'S JUST SOMETHING
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT.
OKAY.
LOUIS, PHONE SALES,
THEY'RE NOT REALLY
RIGHT FOR YOU.
- NO?
- NO.
YOU'RE JUST--
YOU'RE NOT THE RIGH PERSONALITY TYPE, LOUIS.
NOW OUR MAGAZINE
IS DOING--
IS DOING VERY WELL,
YOU KNOW THAT.
THE EDITING STAFF
WITH ALL THE UNSOLICITED
MANUSCRIPTS THAT ARE
COMING IN.
SO WHAT I WOULD:
PREFER TO DO:
IS TO START YOU:
COPY EDITING.
YOU'VE GOT A QUIET,
KEEN INSIGHT, LOUIS.
THAT'S AN ASSET HERE.
AS A WRITER,
NOT AS A SALESMAN.
I'M OFFERING YOU
A PROMOTION.
Mary:
LOUIS?
LOUIS, I NEED
TO TALK TO YOU.
I WAS THINKING...
AND YOU DID ME:
A REALLY SELFLESS FAVOR,
AND I WAS REALLY SELFISH
NOT TO RETURN IT.
OH.
SO IF YOU STILL NEED
A DATE FOR THAT WEDDING,
AND HONORED:
TO FILL THAT POSITION.
MARY,
I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU OFFERING:
TO BE MY DATE.
BUT I'M NOT SURE
IF IT'S THE BEST THING
FOR ME ANYMORE.
REALLY?
ARE YOU THROWING THOSE
CHRISTMAS BALLS OUT?
HELLO, HENRY.
LOOK AT THEM,
STRUTTING AROUND AS IF
THEY OWN THE WHOLE CITY...
AND YET THEY'RE
COMPLETELY DEPENDENT.
WELL, THEY DO LOOK
AWFULLY PROUD.
HENRY, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE
FOR LAST NIGHT.
YOU ARE ALWAYS APOLOGIZING.
DON'T BE SO OBSEQUIOUS.
IT'S YOUR APARTMENT.
THEY'RE YOUR RULES.
I BROKE THEM.
YES...
ALL THAT IS TRUE.
AS YOU THINK.
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE
DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.
YOU DID KICK BELLMAN
OUT FOR LESS.
I KNOW.
BUT THERE'S
A DIFFERENCE--
IT WOULD BE SAD:
TO LOSE YOU.
HMM.
BUT YOU REALLY DO
NEED HELP, YOU KNOW?
YOU MIGHT THINK:
ABOUT GOING OVER
TO THE AMERICAN LEGION
FOR COUNSELING.
HMM.
NO, THEY'LL GE YOU THINKING RIGHT.
ACTUALLY, WHAT I'VE
DECIDED TO DO IS
TO WRITING--
PROFESSIONALLY:
AND PERSONALLY.
I THINK IT MAY BE
THERAPEUTIC.
GOOD.
YES, IT HELPS.
BUT I WOULDN'T RULE OU PSYCHOANALYSIS EITHER.
I'VE THOUGH ABOUT THAT TOO.
- GERSHON?!
- ( laughs ) HEY!
YOU LOOK GREAT,
GERSHON.
- THANK YOU.
- YOU LOOK PRACTICALLY
MIDDLE CLASS.
- I DID I FOR THE WEDDING.
- MY GOD.
WHAT'S THIS?
MY PLAY!
GERSHON, YOU?
I WAS ANGRY.
AND I WAS HURT.
AND I WANTED:
TO HURT YOU BACK.
BUT I'M SORRY, HENRY.
IT WAS WRONG.
I DEEPLY REGRET IT.
CAN YOU FIND IT IN YOUR HEAR TO FORGIVE ME?
I FORGIVE YOU, GERSHON.
YOU MUSTN'T SIN ANYMORE.
NO SIN AGAINS YOUR FELLOW MAN,
FOLLOW THE BIBLE.
WORK!
WORK ON YOUR SOUL.
PRAY FOR ENLIGHTENMENT.
WILL GET SOME TOO,
BECAUSE WE LIVE:
JUST UPSTAIRS.
AND DO YOU,
OTTO RALPH BELLMAN,
TAKE THIS WOMAN,
MARGARET CHASE CUDLIP,
TO BE YOUR LAWFULLY
WEDDED WIFE,
FOR RICHER, FOR POORER,
IN SICKNESS:
AND IN HEALTH,
SHALL LIVE?
THAT'S VIVIAN'S NIECE.

I DO.- BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME
BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD...
DON'T YOU THINK?

Henry:
I'VE BEEN THINKING.
WHEN I FINISH TEACHING
IN AUGUST,
THE THREE OF US:
SHOULD GO TO RUSSIA.

VERY WELL THERE.
WE WON'T NEED MUCH.
A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE
ONLY COSTS:
$4 ON THE BLACK SEA.
OH, THANK YOU,
MY DEAR.
LOVELY.
( applause )

OF HIS DEAR:
AND ESSENTIAL FRIEND
