Weather Girl Page #10

Walt.

- Come on.

That's why I'm here, Syl.

- Sylvia, I'm sorry.

We really need you.

- You know what?

Just mind your business,

all right?

Look, I love you,

And I'm trying to stop you

from making a huge mistake here.

You're not this girl, okay?

You don't get bought off

to return to a job

That you never liked.

You don't go back with the guy

who cheated on you,

And you don't let the one guy

you ever really cared about

Get away because he's not

rich enough.

That's not you.

That's--

That's sassy weather girl.

I hate her,

and--And so do you.

And hey, I'm--

I'm sorry I said that thing

about mom.

You know, it's--

It's not true.

- No, I know.

And you're not like dad

at all.

I don't--

It was just mean.

Sorry.

- Thanks.

[Mellow music]

- I got her.

- Okay.

- Cutting it a little close,

aren't we?

- Makeup, clear.

Get out of there.

Clear frame.

She's fine.

Come on.

- Here we go.

- Here we go.

- Rolling header.

- Welcome to the all-new

Seattle Morning

With your hosts,

Dale Waters

And sassy Sylvia Miller.

Rise and shine

And get ready

for the sparks to fly.

- All cameras ready?

- Getting ready

to do countdown.

- Four, three--

- Remember,

don't step on me.

[Laughs]

Good morning, Seattle.

I am so glad you tuned in today,

Because we have a very,

very special show.

Today we welcome back

A member of

our Seattle Morning family

And someone very special to me.

And even though I'm probably

in for it,

We are so glad

to have you back, Sylvia.

Go ahead, Sylvia.

Come on.

Hit me with that

acidic tongue of yours.

I can take it.

What?

Cat got your tongue?

[Meows]

Boy, that's a first.

Okay, look,

why don't we take a break.

We'll go to commercial,

come right back,

And we'll be right here--

- You know, Dale, returning to

Seattle Morning

Is rather bittersweet.

- Really?

- Really, Dale.

I mean, on the one hand,

I get to return to

a demeaning position

Where my job is to giggle

and look attractive

And trivialize the day's news.

On the other hand,

I get to sit next to

a self-important prick

Who believes himself

to be God's gift to women.

I'm referring to you, Dale.

- I figured.

- Okay, I just want to be clear.

So let me just set you

and the station

And our viewing audience

straight on a few things.

First of all, my title,

"Sassy weather girl,"

Is inaccurate.

I am not a girl.

I am a woman.

And I really

hate the word "Sassy."

It's stupid.

- Uh, go in tight on Dale.

- I mean, yes,

I have an attitude,

But wouldn't you,

If you had to listen

to Dale Waters all day?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We have a real responsibility

to deliver the news here--

- Shut up, Dale.

I am not finished.

You know, there was a time

not too long ago

Where you sat here

and apologized for me

And my behavior.

And now it's my turn.

- Go in tighter.

- I am sorry,

Not for freaking out then

and not for freaking out now,

But for selling out,

for coming back here,

For even considering dating

this horribly inadequate man.

When I--When I got the offer

to come back here,

I compromised all of my ideals,

And I left behind the only

people who stood by me.

These friends

were honest with me

And wanted what I should have:

To be better than I was.

They saw me as more

than just a sassy weather girl,

And I blew them off,

And I rationalized it all,

And I am ashamed of myself,

And I'm sorry.

Dale, you were right.

I never loved you.

I mean, I loved the idea of you,

But the truth is,

we have nothing in common.

- Well, that was subtle.

- Well, that's how I roll.

- Some would describe it

as sassy.

- Okay, no, it's--

No.

- Like, I'm--

I'm proud of you, you know?

- Thank you.

- And you can

crash with me again,

You know, now that you're

unemployed again.

- Yes, that would be good.

I have a huge signing bonus

to repay.

I could use a place to stay

for a while.

- Great.

You know, you couldn't possibly

ruin my social life

Any more than you already have,

so...

- you're a good brother.

- I'm just trying to stop you

from ruining the family name.

- Could you have one

serious moment?

- No.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Um, hi.

Hey, Walt.

- Hey, Byron.

- Okay, uh, Sylvia,

I really need to talk to you,

And it's kind of important

And potentially

very embarrassing for me, so...

- hey, I'll just

wait outside, then.

- Good.

Thank you.

- Cool.

- Hi.

- Hi, um...

I've been thinking a lot,

okay?

I've been thinking a lot

about you and me,

And I'm thinking that I just

need to come out and tell you

How I feel about--

- I'm sorry.

I was such an idiot.

Look, the truth is,

I really, really,

really like you.

I didn't mean to,

but I do.

And you mean more to me

than a rich guy

Or a grown-up guy

or a guy with a job--

- I have a job.

- No, I know you do.

And that's not--

The point is, I--

You mean more to me

than all of those things.

I think that, um...

no, I do.

I love you, okay?

I love you.

What do you think?

- You--You fully just

stole my moment.

- What?

- No, I'm serious.

I was ready to come down here

And throw all my chips

on the table, you know?

Prepare to go down

in flames,

And then you go ahead,

and you steal the whole thing.

You make that cool--

Cool little speech,

And then I'm left standing here

like an a**hole.

- Well, you could make a speech

if you want.

- And follow that?

That was a great speech.

I can't follow that.

- Sorry.

- It's okay.

- So what do you think?

- I kind of feel the, um--

I love you too.

- You do?

- You know I do.

Now, look,

I am going to grab you,

And I am going to kiss you.

- Okay.

- Okay?

And I am going to take the lead,

And you are gonna let me.

Here it comes.

All right.

- You can do that now.

- Okay.

- In all, 15 peoples died

in that horrible crash.

And I'm sure everyone here

thinks that--

That that is terrible.

I mean, I'll keep a thought

in my heart

For, uh, those poor people--

Family.

- What a prick.

Go to commercial.

[Rock music]

- it's true

what they say

the only way to live right

is with your life

holding on

just prolongs the bad times

and oh, you deserve

the good fight

and oh, it could be tonight

hey

arms open wide

and you could have it all

but your back's

up against the wall

even as king

there is compromising

you, you said

the dreams she had

never see the future

self-defeating actions

make you want her

and oh,

the party can't be over

and oh, you gotta deliver,

deliver

hey

arms open wide

and you could have it all

but your back's

up against the wall

even as king

there is compromising

hey

arms open wide

and you could have it all

but your back's

up against the wall

even as king

there is compromising
