The Weather Man Page #7

Synopsis: Dave Spritz is a local weatherman in his home town of Chicago, where his career is going well while his personal life -- his relationship with his perfectionist writer father, his neurotic ex-wife, and his now-separated children -- is spiraling downward. Despite being both loathed and loved by the local masses, Dave is a guy who doesn't seem to have it all together, and in this film, he begins to feel it. An attractive job offer presents Dave with a major question: to pursue his career in New York City, or to remain at home with his family.

that people could pick up on

from across a room.

But as time passed...

few ever became

any qualities I actually had.

And all the possibilities I faced,

and the sorts of people I could be...

all of them got reduced every year

to fewer and fewer...

until finally they got reduced to one...

to who I am.

And that's who I am...

the weatherman.

But first Dave Spritz has the check

of our national weather. Dave.

Well, thanks, Bryant. Well, it feels like

spring if you're in the Northeast.

Is it gonna last? Let's take a look.

We've got a warm weather system

to thank for these high temperatures...

Mike, you ready for school?

Russ?

Let's go, guys.

Come on.

You're gonna get it!

- Bye, Shelly.

- Bye, Mom.

That's your national weather.

I'll be back with your local focus...

at the bottom of the hour.

- Hey, are you Dave Spritz?

- Yeah.

- Can I get your autograph?

- Sure.

So is it going to rain today?

Who knows?

Hey, Hello America.

I've been doing the show

for a few months.

People don't throw things

at me anymore...

maybe because I carry a bow around.

I don't know.

I go back to Chicago weekends...

keep it steady with Mike and Shelly...

come back, do the weather.

So... Forecast?

Come on.

Another man is with my family.

Things didn't work out

the way I predicted.

Accepting that's not easy...

but easy doesn't enter

into grown-up life.

I'll take this American accomplishment.

That's where I live...

behind Fire Brigade 47. Okay.

But in front of SpongeBob.

Hello, America.
