AMAR’E

Dallas sucks.

TONY ROMO:

That’s Amar’e Stoudemire for those

of you who don’t know. He’s been

following me around all week.

Anyway we’re here today to talk

about our esteemed recipient. No

athlete wants to go under the

knife. But when you do, you feel

comfortable with Dr. Conners. He’s

not just changing professional

athletes and the way they look at

medicine. He’s changing the world

and he’s helping everybody. From

pandemics to war torn regions to

extreme poverty situations, they

feel safe in his hands. To our MVP

and to my good friend, Dr. Aaron

Conners.

Everyone applauds. Aaron kisses Amy.

AMY:

Good luck.

Aaron walks up to the podium and accepts the award.

AARON:

Wow, look at this. Very nice of you

guys. Very sharp. Be doing the

surgery tomorrow with this, Amar’e.

And don’t eat anything after

midnight tonight.

AMAR’E

I’m hungry!

Big laugh from the crowd. Amar’e smiles.

AARON:

But I really want to thank the

actual heroes from Doctors Without

Borders.

DIANNA (V.O.)

No, I don’t wanna hear that it’s a

bad time.

AMY:

Yeah but maybe in like an hour.

DIANNA (V.O.)

You could be replaced within thehour by ninety other girls whograduated from better places thanwhatever state school you blew yourway through.

AMY:

I’m stepping out.

DIANNA (V.O.)

Thank you very much. For f***’ssake.

AARON:

You missed it.

AMY:

Sh*t, I got a phone call. How’d it

go?

AARON:

I know you are going through a lotright now, but I really needed youin there. And you’re out heresmoking weed.

AMY:

No, I didn’t come out here to smoke

pot. I came out here because Diannacalled.

AARON:

I really needed you in there. Youwere my lifeline. You knew that.

AMY:

I really can’t take you seriouslywhen you’re holding that. Why’d you

bring your award out here? Youdon’t have to carry it around likeAnne Hathaway at an Oscar party,

can you just put it down?

AARON:

That’s crazy Amy. You knew I wantedto do that speech to you.

94.

AMY:

I really didn’t want to miss it,

I’m just afraid I’m going to losemy job right now.

AARON:

It doesn’t matter. You shouldn’t

have your phone on in the middle ofmy speech anyway. It’s sodisrespectful.

AMY:

Alright goodbye.

AARON:

What’re you talking about goodbye?

AMY:

What, I’m leaving. We’re fighting,

we won’t talk for a while. That’s

how this works.

AARON:

What are you talking about? No,

we’re just having a fight.

AMY:

What are we doing? What do youwant? Why are you with me?

AARON:

I love you.

AMY:

Why do you keep saying that?

AARON:

Because I mean it. I love you. I’mcrazy about you. We're just havinga fight. You insulted me. We’retalking about it and we’ll workthrough it.

AMY:

What’s wrong with you that you wantto be with me? I’m a drinker.

AARON:

I don’t care.

AMY:

I’ve been with a lot of guys.

95.

AARON:

I don’t care. How many?

AMY:

AMY:

F*** this, I’m not talking about

this.

AARON:

Amy, come on don’t say f*** this.

Amy walks away.

AMY:

Don’t follow me.

AARON:

Amy.

Amy brushes her teeth.

AMY:

I’m tired. I want to go to bed.

AMY:

Your parents weren’t that happy.

96.

AARON:

They’re very happy.

AMY:

OK, let’s really get into it. Let’stalk about every issue we’ve everencountered. I’ll start. You godown on me too much.

AARON:

What?

AMY:

It’s selfish. You act like it’s for

me, but really it’s to show howgreat you are, like you’re alwayshelping people.

AARON:

I shouldn’t go down on you as much?

AMY:

Don't try and spin this as a way tonot go down on me as much. That’sridiculous. Of course I want you togo down on me that much.

No keep going down on me. Forgetthis whole part of the argument,

ok? Forget that.

Amy’s pacing. Aaron struggles to stay awake.

97.

AMY:

I’ve been through a lot this year,

and of course I’m going to have

some ups and downs, but that’s why

I need stop and say am I going to

follow the river or am I going to

make decisions in my life? You’re

sleeping. You were just asleep.

AARON:

No I wasn’t.
