Katherine
Um...are you there?
Tess
Yes, Katherine.
SCENE 45
Katherine
Don't get too used to those long lunches, Tess. They're letting
me go a week from today.
Tess
A week from today? Isn't that a little faster than you thought?
Katherine
Well, the doctor says I've got great bones. Of course, his
aren't too bad either!....Anyway, I need you to summarize the
Baron Oil prospectus...
Skier
Hello, Miss Katherine.
Katherine
Hi, Schatz! ...and uh, send that along to me along with the last
two quarterly reports. You are a sport.
Tess
Yes, I'm a sport.
Katherine
Thank you, Tess, so much. I'll talk to you again soon.
Tess
Okay. Bye.
SCENE 46
Jack
So what kind of figures have you been throwing out?
Tess
Jack
Well, what's their ballpark?
Tess
Well, I wanted to get them excited about the concept before I
start throwing actual figures at them.
Jack
Well, are they excited?
Tess
They're going to be.
Jack
Well, wait a minute. I've been working on this thing for 36
hours straight, trying to put this thing together. I got a
progress meeting with my...the head of my department at 2:00.
Now where the hell exactly are we?!
Tess
Don't yell at me!
Jack
Hey. Answer me!
Tess
Well, I uh, as a matter of fact, am gonna see Trask himself
tomorrow. I feel that we're strong enough to go right to him.
Jack
Oh. All right. Where are we meeting him? What time?
Tess
He's not expecting both of us.
Jack
Are you trying to fly this thing without me?!
Tess
No! I wouldn't do that.
Jack
You go and set up this meeting without me. What does...what does
that say? What the hell kind of way to do business is this?!
Tess
Would you calm down?
Jack
How am I supposed to calm down? One lost deal is all it takes to
get canned there days. Look, the line buttons on my phone all
have an inch of little pieces of tape piled on. The names of new
guys over the names of old guys, good men who aren't at the other
end of their line anymore, all 'cause of one lost deal. I don't
want to get buried under a little piece of tape.
Tess
No one's trying to bury you under a little piece of tape.
Jack
Okay, so I've been in a little bit of a slump. I'm not afraid to
admit it. There it is. Look, give me a break here. Don't go
leading me on. If you've got some doubts about me, say 'em to my
face. Give me that much.
Tess
I don't have any doubts about you.
Jack
Okay. You need me...you know.
Tess
I mean, any doubts about your ability.
Jack
You need me at that meeting.
SCENE 47
Jack
Is he jet-lagged from somewhere, or he just lunches late?
Tess
Huh?
Jack
3:
00 is a late lunch.Tess
Well, it's not exactly lunch, but there will be food there,
though.
Jack
What's the story, Tess?
Tess
It's his daughter's wedding.
Jack
That's the meeting?
Tess
Well, it's the perfect opportunity. He's happy, he's had a
little champagne, we look for an opening. Trust me.
Jack
What are we supposed to do, jump out of the wedding cake?
Tess
Don't be silly.
SCENE 48
Guard #1
Come in, man. Come in. Welcome. Come in.
Guard #2
Welcome to our party. Come in.
Hostess
Hello! Nice to see you. Do you know which table you're at?
Jack
Uh, no.
Tess
Oh, I see Phyllis. Come on.
SCENE 49
Trask
Glad you could make it. Oren and Barbara Trask.
Tess
Tess McGill. What a great idea.
Jack
Jack Trainer.
Tess
It's so nice to see you again.
Trask
Hi.
Jack
Hello.
Trask
Well, the kids thought it would, uh, be fun.
Jack
Oh, it's beautiful.
Barbara
You must be friends of Mark's.
Tess
Right.
Trask
Well, let's get you over there.
Tess
Actually, I really should go powder my bathroom...nose. Um,
darling, will you wait here?
Jack
Oh, sure.
Tess
Us, so nice...See you later.
Jack
I think I'll get a drink.
Trask
Oh, Bunny!
SCENE 50
Tess
Get a grip, get a grip, Tess. Get a grip.
Jack
We're not even invited to this thing, are we?
Tess
Okay, so we were not exactly invited. But he's here, and we're
here, so that make us...
Jack
Total idiots!
Tess
...in the right place at the right time.
Jack
You're like one of those crazed cops, aren't you? The kind
nobody wants to ride with! Whose partners all end up dead or
crazy.
Tess
Just act like you belong.
Phyllis
Oh. Do you love it, or do you hate it?
Tess
Love it.
Phyllis
So do I! But Mark says it looks like Nicaragua and that we're
making some kind of statement.
Tess
Oh no! It, it's just like paradise. It's like a paradise with
little gold palm trees.
Phyllis
Thank you.
Tess
You're welcome.
Phyllis
I hope I'm not being rude, but...who are you?
Tess
I'm Tess. I'm a friend of Mark's. I'm just so happy that I
could...be here for you...today.
Jack
Glorious! Fabulous! Stunning, really. Super! Elegant!
Perfect!
SCENE 51
Tess
You're right. This is crazy, so let's just go.
Jack
Excuse me. The woman that's dancing with Oren, what's her name?
Bridesmaid
Oh...oh, Elizabeth Stubblefield.
Jack
That's right! Uh, Liz? Beth?
Bridesmaid
Bitsy.
Jack
Bitsy! That's right.
Tess
Jack?
Jack
You wanna do it...do it.
SCENE 52
Jack
Excuse us. Bitsy, don't break my heart and tell me you don't
remember me.
Bitsy
Of course I do!
Jack
Excuse us.
Tess
Talk about a small world, huh?....I mean, here we've just met and
yet I feel as though I've spent so much time working with you.
Trask
Hmm?
Tess
In a way. I'm in Mergers and Acquisitions at Petty, Marsh.
Trask
Oh..well, I really wish you were having more luck with your team.
Tess
Well, so do I. So do I. I've been trying to set you up with a
radio network, but my bosses, they think that you're just stuck
on acquiring television and won't even listen.
Trask
Well, that's not true.
Tess
Well, that's what I said. I said that the man who in 1971 looked
into the future and saw that it was named microwave technology,
the man who applied Japanese management principles while the
others were still kowtowing to the unions...
Trask
Mm-hm.
Tess
...the man who saw the Ma Bell break-up coming from miles
away...I mean, this man did not get to be this man, you, I mean,
by shutting himself off to new ideas. Am I right, or am I right?
Trask
Well, I think you're right.
Tess
You're damn straight I'm right!
Trask
If you've got the right property, I'd love to hear about it.
Tess
You would?
Trask
Well, absolutely!
Hostess
There she is.
Trask
Well, what...wha?
Hostess
There she is, darling.
Tess
Umm..um, you know, I really, I just realized that I...I'm hogging
the father of the bride, and I see Phyllis coming in. Well, what
do you say I give you a call on Monday?
Trask
Well, our media consultant is Tim Draper.
Tess
Tim, right.
Jack
Honey, I'm starved.
Tess
So am I. Bye.
Trask
Bye.
Jack
Bye.
SCENE 53
Tess
Go ahead and laugh. He wants us to meet with his people first
thing Monday, so....
Jack
Oren Trask? The man who said, "What if we sliced the bread
before we sold it?"
Tess
Yeah, all right.
