The Switch Page #4

Synopsis: Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) and Wally (Jason Bateman) are best friends. Being unlucky in love, Kassie has decided to have a child using artificial insemination. Wally doesn't like this idea, but he isn't capable of admitting to himself, let alone to Kassie, that he's in love with her. At Kassie's artificial insemination party, Wally gets very drunk and spies the sperm donor's sample in the bathroom. Wally was way too drunk to know what he did that night, and Kassie has moved away because she doesn't feel that New York City is a place to raise a child. Now 7 years later, Kassie has moved back with her son Sebastian. While she is looking to get Roland (the sperm donor) more involved in their lives, Wally can't help but notice the many striking similarities that he and Sebastian share.

The zoo was very nice.

That sounds so fun.

Wally has shown me the whole park.

You take my bag?

Tell me. What did you see?

If you go back to the cowboys...

Then you travel in your dreams,

to Colorado...

And then you tending cattle.

But I do not want to kill Indians.

That should not be.

What if I go to the astronauts?

Then...

You must travel to the moon.

And driving around with some cool buggies

with such a flag.

I thinks i'm going with the astronauts.

Good choice. In bed now.

We go to the moon.

Who sleeps on Sebastian?

Duck or chicken?

Are you...

Great choice.

Not really.

And not only that you were in costume.

That's not how you are.

If I had these bunny ears

I'm wanting to warn.

This was our second date.

Yes, that's right.

You let us all the time

dancing on C and C Music Factory?

I don't belive i did to make you back.

Yes, your favorite group back then.

A C & C superfan.

And you kissed me at that party.

I was an caracters.

I was playboy bunny.

A big kiss.

You disappeared that night.

You had taking me home.

That flight because I

was too intense, does not sound like me.

Was the journey I would have done,

but did not?

Was not your third...

Mom, I think I would like herding cattle.

I'm going...

I pull my pagers too.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Hello.

With Wally here...

I am freaking out a little bit.

Yes, drip into my mouth.

Hello?

Do you eat? Should I call you back?

No, say it.

I think...

That some how...

I hang out with

Sebastian last week...

And there are similarities.

And coincidences that...

I must discuss this with Kassie.

Whats the matter?

Here is it crazy, somehow...

Yes?

This child looks like me,

more than he seems on the Viking.

The kid might be yours?

Viking?

What you say...

Where are you now? Come over here wailey.

Hang on, why didn't tell me that before?

You had not been my help.

I give you everything I have.

This was seven years ago,

you were so drunk and talking nonsense.

I did not know that Diane Sawyer for the Viking

exchange for someone meant something.

What does this mean?

What is it means?

Roland is the Viking,

Viking is a Roland.

Who is Roland?

Roland Kassie's donor, the Viking.

Sorry I did not tell you that.

okay well okay so ...

That he is the donor and

there is a tradesman.

What kind of trade?

Who?

Damn, I don't thinking...

You what? Help me out here.

That the Vikings ingredient

from my...

How did that come about? Was there

access to its ingredients?

I do not even know.

I don't know it.

Here I get a bad feeling about us.

Yes, I think there was an access.

Remember the back?

Yes, there was access.

Not like where this goes.

God, I have...

I think I Sawyer.

Was in the bathroom.

Kassie has Diane Sawyer

and she invited her?

I've switch it.

My God.

You switch, really.

Kassie's pregnancy I've been hijacked?

That's unwise.

Why I'm not remember that?

Because you were horribly drunk.

You suppressed everything.

Like hungry dogs in the basement.

If you give them no food...

They will eventually escape

to do something unsafe.

Exhibit A.

Am I a horrible person?

No.

I got to tell her.

No,no telling Kassie?

Yes, that's so challenging, so delicate.

The right thing to do.

Yes might be, don't you want to a lawyer firstr?

No lawyer. I've got to tell her.

Okay..But before you go...

If this is true, have you good news.

Congratulations, you're a father.

That's not helpful.

Hi, Wally.

Hi. What are you doing wake?

Insomnia.

Where's your mom?

In the tub. Wally is here, Mom.

What are you doing?

Watching television.

No, you just switching quickly channels.

No, I watching each program simultaneously.

This should be better, because we

going to see each other very often.

Why we have to seeing each

others for the long time?

Because I...

I'm friends with your mother.

Well,it doesn't mean you friends of me.

Give me the remote.

Yes!

No.

Yes?

What are you doing?

I need to talk with you.

Outside.

I'll be right outside.

Is everything okay?

We are almost there.

I do not know how I say this,

but I'll just start...

You are the most important person

in my life.

This is very difficult.

The hardest thing ever.

I'd do anything for you.

We have known each other for such a long time.

I certainly do not want to lose.

But I just somethings must be to say.

Uncomfortable...

Stop.

I think I already know.

I think not.

Since I'm back

and we know each other for so long...

We missed each other clearly.

I'd be lying if I did not realize...

There 's energy between us hanging.

Sometimes I feel it too.

Energy?

That you wanted to tell me?

That you have feelings for me.

Right?

Not exactly, but...

What...

I... It's complicated.

This work. I'm in a Roland thing.

So I'm not...

I'm sorry.

Let's forget it.

And again I'm sorry.

You get it.

You get it.

Great.

Sebastian, open the door, please.

No.

Roland things?

It's not a good time.

What Roland thing?

We just spent some time together.

Like a date?

Yes, I guess.

Who says a small wall not

can be strong?

We were just getting...
