Waitress Page #9

No. This is for you.

Mm-hmm...

Excuse me.

Hello.

Okay.

Okay.

Yes. No, Mrs. Hesdra,

I think that'll be fine.

No, just keep taking

the painkillers I gave you

a- and stay on the antibiotics.

Oh, my God.

No, no, that's fine.

No, just...

Right. If you have

any more problems,

just call me in two days.

Okay. You're welcome.

Take care.

Do you like it?

It's the most beautiful

thing I've ever seen.

I had it made for you.

It must have cost a fortune.

No, not really.

You shouldn't have done this.

I can't buy you nothing back.

I don't want you to buy me anything.

Why'd you give this

to me, Dr. Pomatter?

You know why.

No, I don't.

Because I am falling

head over heels...

We're gathered here today

to celebrate the love

between Ogie Anhorn

and Dawn Williams...

to join them together

in holy matrimony for

the rest of their natural lives.

Can I say something?

Sure.

Spontaneous wedding poetry,

right now.

The title is "Yes. "

Dawn, every time I look

at you, I think yes,

yes, we're driven by true love.

Yes, I'm more than just he who audits.

Yes, I'm poetry and I'm sex,

and I'm living a dream.

I am, from now on,

whoever you need me to be.

Yes, yes, yes.

Oh, Ogie.

This reminds me of my third wedding.

Terry Lynn Lemon.

She had big ones.

Joe, that's not a very

respectful thing to say.

I'm just pointing out

her good qualities.

She was nasty.

I'm going to invent

a special pie for you called

"Old Joe's Horny Past Pie. "

Have to wait a bit, I'm afraid.

- I'm going in the hospital next week.

- Oh.

Liver stuff.

Got to have a piece of it removed.

Maybe I'll even die.

Don't be stupid.

You won't die.

If I'd ever met a girl

like you, Jenna,

my whole life could

have been different.

You don't even know

what you are deep inside.

You're not just

some little waitress.

You understand what I'm saying?

Not at all, no.

I'm saying, my whole life

I spent lost.

If a sign said "go this way,"

I'd go the other way.

Time after time after time.

I turned the wrong corner,

made the wrong choice,

went the wrong way,

like a chicken without a head.

You understand?

You was a chicken without a head?

Pie lady, listen to me.

This life will kill you.

I'm saying...

make the right choice.

Start fresh.

It's never too late.

Start fresh.

I ain't got no money, Joe.

Who the hell does anymore?

And I'm about to have me a baby.

I know you are, Jenna.

I know you are.

I was just dreaming

a little for you,

'cause... all my dreams is gone.

Oh, no.

Jenna...

I'm very upset with you.

I'll be waiting in the car.

You have 30 seconds to get

your ass in gear and join me.

30 seconds!

You wasn't exaggerating.

Your husband is terrible.

Jenna...

- Honey, congratulations.

- Okay, Jenna.

I'll talk to you later, okay?

Earl...

No, you don't say nothing.

You don't say one word.

Not one word.

You just sit there.

Earl, that hurts.

Open the cabinet

where the coffee

and the sugar jars are.

I don't want...

Just open it!

What is that?

Jenna, what is that?

Money.

It's all over the f***ing house!

In cabinets, in drawers,

under chairs, in closets!

Money hidden all over my house!

I'm sorry...

Yeah, after everything

I've done for you...

you go and hide money from me?

I'm sorry.

You're the only thing

I ever loved, Jenna.

And you're the only person

to ever belong to me.

And you having a secret from me,

it tears me up.

Why was you hiding money

all over the house?

I don't know.

Tell me you was going

to buy me a present.

I was going to buy you a present.

Tell me you was going

to su... surprise me.

I was going to surprise you.

Just hold me.

Truth is, Earl...

Truth is, I was saving that money...

for the baby.

I was going to buy

some nice things...

a crib,

toys, layette...

it was all for the baby.

It was for the baby?

Yeah, so I could buy a crib.

Yeah.

Baby, I want us to...

I want us to be happy.

I want us to be happy, Jenna.

Dear damn baby...

If'n you ever want

to know the story

ofhow we bought your damn crib,

I will tell you.

Your crib was bought

with the money

that was supposed

to buy me a new life.

Every time I lay you down

in that damn crib,

I'm going to think,

"Damn baby, damn crib.

Me stuck like a pin

in this damn life. "

Hey, guess what, sugar?

We got enough money left,

I can buy me a nice video camera.

Film you being pregnant,

the birth, film the baby.

Maybe when you get

a figure back we can make

a few nasty tapes,

if you know what I mean.

Sounds wonderful, Earl.

Sit up for me, Jenna.

I wish I could stop everything

and run away with you.

Me, too.

Where could we go?

I would go in a second.

I would drop everything.

Make it go away.

What?

Everything else in my life.

That's a normal reading.

Jenna, get dressed.

Meet me outside.

I'll be there in 10 minutes.

We're going someplace.

We might even run away.

We'll figure it out.

I mean it.

Don't you spray me! Don't you dare spray me!

Hunter, no!

No! No!

What did I say?

Hunter, no!

Nobody ever tells you beforehand

how ridiculously hard

it's going to be.

Come on, Hunter.

Dr. Pomatter, I believe

my water just broke.

Hey, sweetheart.

Oh, Dr. Pomatter,

this is my husband, Earl.

- Oh, hi.

- Hi.

Nice to meet you, Doc.

Excuse me, but could you

get up from that chair

- so I could sit next to my wife?

- Right.

I would have brought you

some candy or flowers,

but I didn't have no time.

That's okay, Earl.

I need you to rest now, Jenna.

Big moment coming soon.

I'll leave you folks

to your privacy. Excuse me.

- Dr. Pomatter...

- Yes, Jenna.

I just want to make sure we're

clear about one thing.

- What's that, Jenna?

- I want drugs.

I want massive amounts of drugs.

I want the maximum

legal limit of drugs.

Noted and understood.

Oh, do... do you belong here?

Yeah, I'm kin.

Joe, hi!

You having your surgery today?

Later this afternoon.

Cal told me you were here.

Here, I bought you this card.

It's silly.

Look at it later, after all

the fuss is over.

- Thanks.

- Put it right next

- to you on the nightstand.

- I will.

I remember you.

You're the husband.

Yeah, I'm the husband.

Lucky for you, I didn't take

money out ofJenna's check

for all the damage you did

in my diner at that wedding.

Don't say nothing smart-ass.

I'm leaving.

Give me a hug first.

Absolutely not.
