PASS THE BUSINESS SECTION.
I'M NOT DONE YET.
HOW'S THE MRKET THIS MORNING?
DON'T ASK.
WHO'S GOT THE EDITORIAL?
ME. THERE'S AN INTERESTING PIECE
ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE EARLY PRIMARIES
ON THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
HOW'S DENNIS THE MENACE, MAL?
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I'M READING THE HUMAN INTEREST SECTIONS.
FASHION. HEALTH AND BEAUTY GUIDE.
YOU KNOW, THE WORLD COULD BLOW UP...
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT.
I'D KNOW ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU, ALEX.
HOROSCOPE SECTION.
I'M GLAD YOU'RE ALL HERE.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT NEXT THURSDAY IS?
SURE. IT'S MOM'S BIRTHDAY.
AND THE FISCAL YEAR'S FIRST QUARTER ENDS.
DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN TWO FESTIVE OCCASIONS
FALL ON THE SAME DAY?
I'D LIKE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL THIS YEAR,
LIKE THROW A SURPRISE PARTY FOR YOUR MOTHER.
THAT'S SO COME ON. EMBARRASSING.
WHAT?
DAD, WE KNOW YOU MEAN WELL,
BUT YOUR SURPRISE PARTIES NEVER WORK.
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
WHAT ABOUT THE PARTY FOR ANDY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY?
I KNEW ABOUT IT A MONTH BEFORE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.
I'VE GOT THE PERFECT PLAN.
YOU TELL MOM YOU WANT TO TAKE HER OUT
FOR A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY DINNER.
AT THE LAST MOMENT,
I'LL PRETEND I CAN'T GO
BECAUSE OF SOME OFFICE EMERGENCY.
LISTEN. LISTEN.
SO ANYWAY, WHEN YOU GO OUT,
I'LL COME HOME,
I'LL LET THE GUESTS IN,
SET UP THE FOOD--
WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?
I CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE.
I WONDER WHAT'S BOTHERING ANDY.
I BETTER GO CHECK ON THE KIDS.
SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
OHO.
HEY, SKIPPY. WHAT' UP?
NOT MUCH.
JUST ONE OF THOSE RARE EVENINGS
WHERE I HAVE NO PLANS.
WOULD ONE OF YOU LIKE TO GO OUT TONIGHT?
I'D LOVE TO, BUT I'VE GOT A DATE.
I UNDERSTAND.
HOW ABOUT YOU, MAL?
ORDINARILY, I'D LOVE TO, SKIPPY.
BUT I'M BUSY TONIGHT.
MY FRIEND'S COMING OVER. WE'RE GOING TO STUDY.
MAYBE I'LL COME ALONG.
I COULD TURN PAGES FOR YOU.
SHARPEN PENCILS.
I MAKE A GOOD PAPERWEIGHT.
MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.
I COULD CANCEL MY DATE. WE COULD DO SOMETHING.
NO, ALEX. I'LL BE FINE.
I'LL GO HOME. WORK ON MY POSTURE.
YEAH.
OK, PAL.
HELLO.
I'M HERE FOR MALLORY.
OH, RIGHT. YES, COME IN, PLEASE.
WON'T YOU SIT DOWN?
SURE. THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING TO DRINK?
NO, THANK YOU.
I'M SKIPPY HANDLEMAN.
HI, I'M AMY SUSSMAN.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO THE LIBRARY WITH...
MALLORY.
RIGHT.
WE'RE IN PSYCHOLOGY TOGETHER AT GRANT.
I GO TO GRANT.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN YOU THERE.
I'M USUALLY LOCKED AWAY IN THE SCIENCE LIBRARY.
I'M PREMED.
THAT EXPLAINS IT. I'M NOT PREMED.
WHAT ARE YOU, PRELAW?
NO, I'M SORT OF...
PREMATURE.
I MEAN I HAVEN'T FOUND THE CLASSES I WANT TO TAKE.
THAT'S OK. CHOOSING A CAREER IS A BIG DECISION.
NO, I MEAN I PHYSICALLY CAN'T FIND MY CLASSES.
I THOUGHT I SAW YOUR CAR. ARE YOU READY?
UH-HUH.
IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU.
I HOPE I SEE YOU AROUND CAMPUS.
ME, TOO.
BYE.
MOM, CAN WE TALK TO YOU?
SURE. WHAT'S UP?
WELL, UM...
AS YOU KNOW, YOUR BIRTHDAY IS NEXT WEEK,
AND...AND WE'D...
LIKE TO TAKE YOU OUT FOR A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY DINNER.
OH, THAT'S VERY SWEET,
BUT I THOUGHT WE'D STAY HOME THAT NIGHT.
HAVE A QUIET DINNER HERE.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS,
BUT DAD IS PLANNING A SURPRISE PARTY FOR YOU.
YOU'RE KIDDING.
I'M REAL SORRY, MOM.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO TAKE YOU TO DINNER.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL GO TELL HIM HOW EXCITED I AM
ABOUT GOING OUT TO DINNER.
WHOA, MOM, MOM, MOMMY?
UM...
LISTEN, SINCE WE ARE TAKING YOU OUT TO DINNER...
YOU KNOW, WE PLANNED THIS ELABORATE PARTY FOR YOU...
WILL YOU STILL BE EXPECTING GIFTS?
NO, THAT'S FINE, HONEY.
I STILL HAVEN'T USED
THAT BEAUTIFUL BLANK CHECK YOU GAVE ME LAST YEAR.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I'LL GET IT.
MALLORY, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE.
OK. GO.
I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOUR FRIEND AMY.
YOU LIKE AMY?
I SPENT THE WHOLE DAY JUST FOLLOWING HER AROUND.
I NOT ONLY FELL IN LOVE,
BUT I FOUND A LOT OF MY CLASSES.
SHE'S COMING OVER. YOU SHOULD ASK HER OUT.
SHE'S COMING HERE? NOW?
I GOT TO GO.
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?
I CAN'T ASK HER OUT.
YOU'VE ASKED ME OUT.
I KNOW YOU'LL SAY NO. THERE'S NO PRESSURE.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
THAT'S HER.
I'LL GO OUT THE BACK DOOR.
SKIPPY, SIT!
AMY, HI.
COME ON IN.
THANKS.
HI, SKIPPY.
AHS FAS MES.
AMY, SKIPPY HAS SOMETHING HE'D LIKE TO ASK.
SKIPPY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
IF YOU'D GO OUT WITH HIM.
WHY SURE, I'D LIKE THAT.
HOW ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT?
THAT WOULD BE FINE.
TOMORROW NIGHT OK WITH YOU?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN MALLORY?
ALL MY LIFE.
MALLORY'S BEEN HUNG UP ON ME SINCE WE WERE KIDS.
I HOPE I'M NOT BARGING IN ON HER TERRITORY.
NO, THAT TERRITORY IS WIDE OPEN.
HAVE YOU DECIDED YET?
YES, I BELIEVE WE HAVE.
WHAT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE DISH ON THE MENU?
THE SWORDFISH WITH LEMON BUTTER. $20.
SKIPPY, THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.
I CAN HANDLE IT.
WE CAN USE MY DAD'S AMERICAN EXPRESS.
WE DON'T TAKE AMERICAN EXPRESS.
IT'S OK. I'VE GOT SOME MONEY.
WOULD YOU GIVE US A FEW MORE MINUTES?
CERTAINLY. AND MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU ACT
AS REPRESENTATIVE FROM YOUR TABLE?
THIS ISN'T GOING AS I PLANNED.
I'M EMBARRASSING YOU, I'M EMBARRASSING ME.
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE.
OK, THAT WAS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING.
I'M SURE IF WE SIT DOWN AND CALM DOWN,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THIS.
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT YOU AGREED TO GO OUT WITH ME.
WHY NOT?
YOU ARE SWEET,
AND YOU'RE FUNNY,
AND YOU'RE CUTE.
IS THERE SOMEONE PAYING YOU TO SAY THESE THINGS?
NO.
THEN THIS IS THE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.
I WISH I COULD BE SHOT SO IT WOULD NEVER END.
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.
THE RESERVATIONS ARE SET FOR 7:00.
MOM DOESN'T SUSPECT ANYTHING.
THIS IS GOING GREAT.
SHE'S GOING TO HAVE A GREAT--
CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT NOBEL PRIZE.
WHAT?
GOOD COVER, DAD.
SO, YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR DINNER?
OH, OH, VERY MUCH.
I'M JUST SORRY THAT YOU CAN'T MAKE IT.
HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL?
I'M READY TO GO. I GET A CALL.
BIG EMERGENCY DOWN AT THE STATION.
LOCUSTS.
THEY'RE ALL OVER THE BUILDING.
I, UH...
I THINK I SHOULD BE DOWN THERE.
YOU'RE VERY BRAVE.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
I'LL GET IT.
SURPRISE! SURPRISE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WE'RE HERE FOR ELYSE'S SURPRISE PARTY.
NICE GOING. YOU'RE ONLY SIX HOURS EARLY.
LOOK, WE'RE REALLY SORRY.
WE'LL JUST LEAVE OUR PRESENT AND GO.
IT'S RUINED NOW. KEEP THE PRESENT.
THEY WERE ALWAYS OUR STUPIDEST FRIENDS.
I'M SORRY. YOU MUST HAVE WORKED HARD ON THIS PARTY.
I'M OK. I FEEL BAD FOR THE KIDS.
WE COULD PRETEND THAT NOTHING HAPPENED.
WE, UH...
REALLY.
WE COULD GO THROUGH WITH THE PARTY.
I THINK IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO THEM.
IT'S A FINE PLAN, STEVEN.
EXCUSE ME.
HA HA HA HA!
I'D KEEP AN EYE ON MOM.
I DON'T THINK SHE'LL MAKE IT TO THE PARTY.
ALEX, CAN WE COME IN?
SKIPPY, HOW YOU DOING?
HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A LONG TIME.
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS.
THE BALL AND CHAIN KEEPS ME ON THE RUN.
IS MALLORY HOME?
SHE'S UPSTAIRS.
THANKS.
SEE YOU LATER, HONEY BEAR.
SOMETIMES SHE CALLS ME HONEY BEAR.
I HEARD.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU SO HAPPY, SKIPPY.
I REALLY AM, ALEX.
AMY IS THE GREATEST GIRL IN THE WORLD.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.
THE WAY SHE LOOKS, TALKS.
THE WAY SHE CHEWS HER FOOD.
SHE MUST CHEW EACH BITE 30 OR 40 TIMES.
DON'T LET HER GO, SKIP.
BUT, ALEX, THERE'S A PROBLEM.
EVERYTHING'S GOING GREAT BETWEEN ME AND AMY.
TONIGHT SHE ASKED ME TO HER DORM ROOM.
USUALLY HER ROOMMATE'S THERE, AND EVERYTHING'S FINE.
TONIGHT, WE'LL BE ALONE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
AH, I SEE.
I'M NOT AN EXPERIENCED GUY LIKE YOU, ALEX.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I'M 19 YEARS OLD, AND I'VE NEVER...
YOU KNOW.
SKIP, TAKE IT EASY.
A LOT OF 19-YEAR-OLD GUYS HAVE NEVER...
YOU KNOW.
SEEMS LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE.
IT'LL HAPPEN NATURALLY.
IT'S LIKE A FLOWER BLOSSOMS.
LIKE A TREE SHEDS ITS LEAVES.
LIKE A BRANCH REACHES FOR THE SUNLIGHT.
IT HAPPENED FOR YOU IN AN ARBORETUM?
IT'S GOING TO BE MORE DIFFICULT THAN I THOUGHT.
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR.
YOU'RE MY OLDEST AND DEAREST FRIEND,
SO I CAN SHARE THIS WITH YOU.
THERE'S A ROMANTIC FORMULA THAT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR ME.
YOU CAN REMEMBER IT WITH ONE WORD.
FISCAL.
FISCAL?
THE FIRST LETTER, "F,"
STANDS FOR FEMALE.
MAKE SURE THERE'S ONE THERE.
WHAT DOES "I" STAND FOR?
"I" IS USEFUL FOR BEGINNING SENTENCES.
I LOVE YOU. I NEED YOU. I WANT YOU.
I'D LIKE YOU TO LOCK THE DOOR.
THIS IS WHAT I NEED.
"S."
SENSITIVITY.
PRETEND YOU HAVE SOME.
"C" IS FOR CARING.
PRETEND YOU DO.
"A."
"A" IS FOR ALEX.
SO, UH...
THINK OF ME, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
"L" STANDS FOR LOVE.
NO, "L" IS FOR LIGHTING.
YOU WANT A WARM, ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE.
I GENERALLY BRING MY OWN LIGHTING.
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT?
NOTHING, JUST GUY TALK.
WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING ABOUT?
GIRL TALK.
EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER.
WE'VE GOT 6:30 DINNER RESERVATIONS,
SO WE'D BETTER GO.
SEE YOU LATER.
DID HE TALK TO YOU ABOUT TONIGHT?
YEAH, A LITTLE.
DID SHE TALK TO YOU ABOUT TONIGHT?
A LITTLE. SHE'S NERVOUS.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
WELL...
THAT THERE ARE NO RULES OR PLANS TO LOVING SOMEONE,
AND THAT IF TWO PEOPLE CARE FOR AND RESPECT EACH OTHER,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
BASICALLY THE SAME THING.
WELL, HERE WE ARE.
IT FEELS STRANGE BEING HERE WITHOUT YOUR ROOMMATE.
I MISS MARY BETH.
ARE YOU SURE SHE WON'T BE COMING BACK TONIGHT?
SHE'S VISITING HER PARENTS IN ALASKA.
SO SHE'S PROBABLY SLEEPING THERE.
I'LL GET SOME WATER AND MAKE HOT COCOA.
I'LL WAIT HERE IN CASE MARY BETH DOES COME BACK.
OK.
LET'S SEE.
"F IS FOR FEMALE."
I'VE GOT THAT.
"I IS FOR I LOVE YOU.
I'D LIKE YOU TO LOCK THE DOOR."
SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET BACK IN.
WE LOSE OUR "F."
"SENSITIVE. CARING."
I AM BOTH OF THESE THINGS.
"A. THINK OF ALEX."
LET'S PUT...
THERE YOU GO.
"L FOR LIGHTING."
A ROMANTIC ATMOSPHERE.
NO.
OH, YES.
NOW WE ARE PREPARED FOR AN EVENING OF ROMANCE.
AND A RED ALERT.
"L" COULD ALSO STAND FOR LOTION.
WHOA.
I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET.
SKIPPY, HAVE YOU BEEN DEVELOPING PHOTOGRAPHS?
I FIGURED THIS WOULD MAKE THE ROOM A LITTLE COZIER.
ARE YOU WEARING COLOGNE?
ME? NO, NO.
YOU PROBABLY PUT TOO MUCH PERFUME ON TONIGHT.
I DON'T WEAR PERFUME.
WHAT'S THAT STUFF ON YOUR DRESSER?
FORMALDEHYDE.
AT LEAST I'LL KEEP WELL.
YEAH, WELL...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A SEAT?
OK.
YOU MEAN OVER THERE.
I COULD GO OVER THERE.
THAT'S OK! ALLOW ME.
SO, HERE WE ARE, JUST ME AND YOU...
A MAN AND A WOMAN.
RIGHT. ONE OF EACH.
YOU KNOW, THEY SAY THESE THINGS HAPPEN NATURALLY.
I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.
MAYBE IT HAPPENED ALREADY.
MAYBE IT DID.
SO, WAS IT GOOD FOR YOU?
ARE YOU OK?
I'M FINE.
IT WAS MY FAULT.
I'M SORRY. I'M JUST SO NERVOUS.
ME, TOO.
I DON'T KNOW. SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT,
SOMETHING IN THE AIR.
SMOKE.
SMOKE, TENSION, WHATEVER.
SKIPPY, THE LAMP IS ON FIRE!
THE LAMP IS ON FIRE!
WATER! GET WATER! FAST, WATER!
[SMOKE ALARM]
SKIPPY! SKIPPY!
THIS IS IT! LET'S ALL GET INTO POSITION!
SOMEONE GET THE LIGHTS!
SURPRISE!
THANK YOU, BUT IT DIDN'T GO THAT WELL.
IS ALEX HERE?
HE'S OUT WITH HIS MOM.
THIS IS A SURPRISE PARTY FOR MRS. KEATON.
SOMEBODY'S COMING!
SHH!
HIDE SOMEWHERE.
GET THE LIGHTS AGAIN.
SURPRISE!
HI.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY! IT'S LOOKING GOOD!
WE'RE JUST ABOUT READY FOR THE BIG ONE!
HI, THERE.
HI.
YOU LEFT IN A HURRY.
AMY, I'M SORRY ABOUT TONIGHT.
I RUINED EVERYTHING.
I WAS TRYING SO HARD
TO MAKE A NICE, ROMANTIC EVENING.
IT WAS ROMANTIC.
IT WAS JUST A LITTLE SMOKY.
YOU'RE THE BEST THING THAT'S EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH YOU
THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
I'M SORRY I WAS ACTING SO CRAZY TONIGHT.
I'VE NEVER DONE THIS KIND OF THING BEFORE.
I THINK WE'RE BOTH JUST BEGINNERS AT THIS.
LET'S NOT RUSH IT.
HOW FAST WE GO DOESN'T MATTER IF WE GO TOGETHER.
YOU REALLY LIKE ME.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
IT SEEMS SO...UNNATURAL.
WELL, THIS CAME OFF WITHOUT A HITCH.
DAD CAN REALLY PLAN THESE THINGS, CAN'T HE?
IT'S WORSE THAN MINE.
HELLO. I'M HOME.
STEVEN.
JUST A MINUTE.
UH, STEVEN.
OH, ELYSE.
HEY, LOOK, EVERYBODY! IT'S ELYSE!
SURPRISE!
OH, WOW! HI, HONEY.
YOU SURPRISED?
I HAD NO IDEA.
OK.
GREAT SURPRISE PARTY.
WE PRETTY MUCH WROTE THE BOOK ON SURPRISES.
SO HOW WAS YOUR NIGHT?
ALEX, WE HAD A GREAT NIGHT.
GOOD. YOU'RE A GREAT COUPLE.
THANKS.
AND THANK YOU, MALLORY, FOR INTRODUCING US.
IT WAS MY PLEASURE.
YOU'RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER.
JUST REMEMBER, IN A RELATIONSHIP,
IT'S BEST NOT TO INTELLECTUALIZE THINGS TOO MUCH.
JUST LISTEN TO YOUR HEARTS.
THAT'S WHY NICK AND I HAVE SUCH A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP.
WE DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.
LIKE WHEN A LITTLE PROBLEM COMES UP,
WE JUST PRETEND WE'RE WILD BIRDS.
WE FOLLOW OUR NATURAL INSTINCTS,
AND THEN, SOMETHING MAGICAL AND WONDERFUL HAPPENS.
YOU FLY SOUTH FOR THE WINTER?
IT WASN'T EASY GETTING HERE,
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS WE'RE ALL TOGETHER
ON MY BIRTHDAY.
I LOVE YOU ALL.
* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
* HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ELYSE *
* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU *
