Sleepless in Seattle (1993) Edit

A transvestite, a flasher, a junkie, a chainsaw murderer

About a year and a half ago. Aw. Have you had any relationships?

About how much he loved his wife

About what? BECKY: Whatever it is.

About you. How you're doing.

About your mum.

Absolutely. Your words.

Actually, he sounded nice.

After the age of 40... That is absolutely untrue!

Ah! It's right there! Look!

All right, what's your Christmas wish, Jonah?

All right.

All right. Jonah, listen, I've got to go.

ALL: Ooh! Tennessee, you are on the air.

Although, I cried at the end of The Dirty Dozen.

Although, I cried at the end of The Dirty Dozen.

Am I what they had in mind?

An Affair to Remember. Did you ever see it?

And after a while I won't have to remind myself

And all I could say was hello. Oh, my God.

And breathe in and out all day long.

And could the whole front of the house open on a hinge so I can get in with a garage opener.

And get a feeling about them, ask them if they wanna have a drink.

And he asked me for some advice on how you might find a new wife.

And he got my lettuce and tomato on whole wheat, which, of course, he was allergic to.

And he is genuinely worried about you.

And he kind of just... They know and hug and it's so...

And he looks, and he comes out and looks at her.

And he says, No, as a matter of fact, I don't.

And he waited and waited. And it was raining, I think.

And he, like, goes to the bedroom.

And he's such a wonderful athlete. Are his folks nice?

And how he just fell in love with her like he was one of those cows in Michigan.

And I got his lettuce and tomato on white.

And I haven't been laid that much. Six girls in college. Maybe seven.

And I knew it, I knew it the very first time I touched her.

And I knew it.

And I knew it.

And I knew. What?

And I never would give it to them.

And I thought you were never going to.

And I tried to talk to her. It was like I knew her or something. It was weird.

And I understand you had a caller the other night, some guy from Seattle.

And I will calmly come and take care of it. You scream like that again, I'll kill you.

And I'll, uh...

And I've just told the most terrible one to the man I'm about to marry.

And if we start asking why, we'll go crazy.

And it was delicious. It was, wasn't it, Milton?

And Jonah and I will get along just fine again, as soon as I break his radio.

And knowing I could've done something. What do you think?

And now 2000 women want his number. The guy could be a crackhead,

And our pathetic need for it is what gets us into so much trouble.

And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin we sitting on top of this armoured personnel carrier.

And some other people's.

And suddenly, he goes, I saw the painting

And the only problem... We have to redo all the cabinets.

And the shrink practically forces the guy and says, Do you want to talk about it.

And the stewardess won't carry you around and stuff like that.

And then after a while I won't have to think about

And then after a while, I won't have to remind myself

And then after a while, I won't have to think about

And then I gotta visit Winston Hughes about switching over our computers, but...

And then in a few months, boom, I'll be fine. I'll just grow a new heart.

And then it turned out the guy lived in Duluth. Where's Duluth?

And then one day we both ordered sandwiches from the same place

And then one day you order takeout that changes your life.

And then she's too proud to tell him that she's...

And to all my listeners, a magical and merry Christmas.

And to you, Sleepless in Seattle,

And tonight's topic is your wishes and dreams.

And we'll be right back after this break with your listener response.

And when I give parties, I always put in platters.

And when you get together, the puzzle's complete.

And who's this? Howard.

And you completely lose sight of what counts.

And you need a wife. What do they call that, when everything intersects?

And your host is... Not on your life.

And...

And... You know what I think? I think I thought it was too perfect, you know.

ANNIE: Grandmother's dress.

ANNIE: Nothing's with me.

ANNIE: Oh, Mum...

Annie.

Any one of them. Five minutes, and ready to eat.

Anytime.

Architect.

Are you all right? She's fine.

Are you Annie? Yes.

Are you going with her? I'm going with Victoria, yes.

Are you in love with him?

Are you serious? Yeah.

Are you sure?

Are you two finished? Fine, now where were we?

Aren't we all right? So far, have I done anything stupid?

Aren't you gonna read any of these? No. This is not how it's done.

At one point I looked down and I couldn't tell which fingers were his and which were mine.

Baldwin.

BARBARA: I noticed these things are back in fashion.

BARBARA: Oh, honey, what a shame.

BARBARA: To Walter and Annie.

BARBARA: We'll move them.

BARBARA: We'll spray you.

BARBARA: We'll spray you.

Baseball. It's baseball. Historical reference.

Because he doesn't even notice that she doesn't get up to say hello.

Because he had to go off for a weekend special at the Holiday Inn!

Because I have these dreams

Because I realise I'm never going to fit my platters

Because I would be so absolutely mortified if anyone knew I did anything

Because it isn't your mother.

Because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is accidental.

BECKY [ON PHONE]: Did you talk to him?

BECKY: See you tomorrow.

BECKY: So then what happened? ANNIE: So then I left, obviously.

BECKY: Something's with you.

BECKY: What was that about up there?

Becky.

Becky.

Bees. I'm allergic to bees.

Bless you. Bless you!

BOTH: Too many.

Breathe in and out all day long.

Breathe in and out all day long.

Brooks Robinson was the best third base men ever.

But couldn't we flip the house around so that everything in the back is now in front?

But everybody's an adjustment. Nobody's perfect. There's no such thing as a perfect...

But he comes to see her anyway. And I forget why, but...

But he saw you, right? He saw me.

But I am not one of those people. No, siree.

But I'm only gonna be gone one night.

But Jessica says, you and Annie never got together in that life.

But now it feels as if you're coming back from wherever you were.

But that's normal, right?

But we're dealing with it.

But what I really don't wanna do

But when you first met her, did you believe

But, anyway, I was listening to him talk about how much he loved his wife

Bye Bye Blackbird.

Bye.

Bye. Bye, Jonah.

Bye. Bye.

Call her on the phone to say, Let's look at swatches?

Calm down, you brought it up. I did not, Wyatt.

Can I bring something back for you? A souvenir?

Can I get you a drink? Some champagne?

Can I just take a look? There's someone I was supposed to meet.

Can I take a minute? Go ahead.

Can we have a bottle of Dom DeLuise.

Can you appreciate the difference?

Can you keep an eye on things out front till I get back?

Cary Grant would call up and say, Come over and look at my swatches?

Cary Grant, right? You know that movie?

Chicago Cancer Family Network.

Christmas Eve, he phones in one of those radio call in shows.

CLAIRE: Sam, I'm so glad you're here. How are you?

Clarise is gonna be here.

Clarise, did you move your car?

CLIFF: Are you all right? It's nothing. It's nothing.

Clinical psychologist and the friend you never had.

Cold salmon, a lovely cucumber salad, strawberries.

Come here.

Come on.

Congratulations, Walter.

Could it be that you need someone just as much as Jonah does?

Could she use a barrette to keep her hair out of her face?

Couldn't do it.

Crippled. And he's too proud to find out why she doesn't come.

CROWD: Ten, nine, eight, seven, six

Dad, I was talking to Jessica about reincarnation.

Dad! Dad! Jonah?

Dad... SAM: Tell them about the radio show.

Dear Annie. Thanks for your letter. It was great.

Dear Sleepless and Son. I've never written a letter like this in my life...

Dear Sleepless in Seattle

Dear Sleepless in Seattle. I live in Tulsa. Where's that?

Destiny takes a hand.

Did anybody read that book all the way through?

Did anyone ever call you anything other than Walter?

Did you even read that book?

Didn't you see Fatal Attraction? You wouldn't let me.

Do you feel that any lie is a betrayal?

Do you have kids? No.

Do you know anyone who works for someone named Dr. Marcia Fieldstone?

Do you know how much money it costs to go to New York?

Do you know how much money it costs to go to New York?

Do you know how to make juice?

Do you like baseball?

Do you like camping?

Do you wanna hear about destiny?

Do you want mine?

Does he like those little snow globes?

Don't go rolling in poison ivy as soon as I leave the house.

Don't go rolling in poison ivy as soon as I leave the house.

Don't mind him, he's just a guy who's lost his wife.

Don't try anything tricky. Understand?

Don't you hate flying? Yes, I do.

Dr. Marcia Fieldstone of Network America. And you are on the air.

Dr. Marcia. SAM: I don't mean to be rude...

Drinking a glass of water from the other side.

Empire State Building.

Especially over a certain age.

Even remotely close to what I have done.

Eventually, in a few months, you'll start seeing women. You'll meet someone.

Every kid needs a mother.

Everyone thinks so. It's a sign.

Everyone, please eat before it gets cold.

Everything all right? Oh, yeah.

Everything else is what happens when you watch too many movies.

Exactly. Eight is too few, twelve is

Except for the bread?

Excuse me, are you Annie?

Excuse me.

FIELDSTONE: And I don't want to invade your privacy...

FIELDSTONE: Aw, I can understand that. Jonah, is your dad home right now?

FIELDSTONE: Eight? How come you're up so late?

FIELDSTONE: Go on, Sam. I'm listening. Sam.

FIELDSTONE: I have no doubt that you're a wonderful father.

FIELDSTONE: I'm sure that I can help. But I'm gonna need you to help me...

FIELDSTONE: If there was one question I was allowed to ask...

FIELDSTONE: Jonah, calm down. Tomorrow, when you're sitting down to breakfast,

FIELDSTONE: Let's take a call before we get back to Sleepless.

FIELDSTONE: Next caller, go ahead.

FIELDSTONE: No last names, Jonah.

FIELDSTONE: Now, I know this is difficult. But how long ago did your wife die?

FIELDSTONE: Oh, I'm so sorry. Well, who can believe this?

FIELDSTONE: Oh, of course, you're absolutely right.

FIELDSTONE: Oh, really?

FIELDSTONE: Okay, fair enough.

FIELDSTONE: Okay, now think.

FIELDSTONE: Sam, tell me what was so special about your wife?

FIELDSTONE: Sam, tell me what was so special about your wife.

FIELDSTONE: Seattle, go ahead. JONAH: Hello, this is Jonah...

FIELDSTONE: Trust me, Jonah.

FIELDSTONE: Well, folks, it's time to wrap it up. I'm Dr. Marcia Fieldstone in Chicago.

FIELDSTONE: Where's your mum?

FIELDSTONE: Why don't you make him a sandwich beforehand.

FIELDSTONE: Why would you wanna be with someone who doesn't love you?

FIELDSTONE: You don't like the one he has now?

Fine, fine. I'm fine.

Fine. Fine.

Fine. How do I look?

First, you have to be friends. You have to like each other.

Five minutes in the microwave.

Five, four, three, two, one.

For flying with us. Thank you.

For hiccups, take a spoonful of sugar, hold it in your mouth for a minute.

Forever.

Friday would be great, yeah.

From the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago.

Get a little further away from the curb next time, mac.

Get out here. Get out here. Come on, now, I'm not gonna go through this alone.

Go ahead. Dad...

Go ahead. No, you go.

Goddamn it.

Good idea. Take a couple of weeks off, get some sun, take Jonah fishing.

Good night, Howard.

Good night.

Good night. Bye.

Grace. The dispatcher?

GRANT: Top of the Empire State Building.

Great table. Thanks.

Great! They'll throw a parade in your honour.

Great. Do I look okay? I look all right?

Gunga Din is not a swatch kind of movie.

Gunga Din? He didn't call...?

H and G.

Hand me that towel behind you.

Happy New Year.

Harold is allergic to every type of bee.

Harriet, shut up. Hi, can I help you? Tea, with the bag out.

Have I screwed it up for the both of us?

Have you fallen down? Are you bleeding?

He busted his neck when they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines.

He meant Dom Perignon. I got it.

He said hello. And what did you say?

He wasn't even supposed to work that night. Suppose he hadn't?

He won't be angry when he realises how concerned you are about him.

He's 8. He's good at it.

He's allergic to everything, don't worry about him.

He's married to, uh, Betsy.

He's probably not there, but if I don't at least look, I'll always wonder about it.

He's so unexpected.

He's the associate publisher.

Hello, Sam, this is Dr. Fieldstone on Network America.

Hello, Victoria?

Hello.

Hello.

Hello. BECKY: Turn on your radio.

Her first name could be Doctor.

Her neck isn't bigger than her head... No, I'm not asking you to set me up.

Here it is. The Historical Society wanted this

Here you go. Here's a nice pin for you

Here you go. Right there.

Here, let me get you.

Here! See, that's exactly what she looks like.

Here's a bottle of Ipecac if anybody drinks poison. It's right next to the juice glasses.

Here's mud in your eye.

Here's one for the both of us. Sleepless and Son, Baltimore.

Here's to us.

Hey, don't you wanna thank Victoria for this delicious dinner?

Hey, hey! Put that down. Stop it!

Hey, it's all right. It's okay.

Hey, Jonah, bring some of that stuff around, all right?

Hey, Jonah, wake up, wake up. The ball's dropping.

Hey, Jonah.

Hey, Jonah.

Hey!

Hey! Sorry, I have an emergency.

Hi, Dad. This is Jessica.

Hi, it's Annie.

Hi, Jonah.

Hi.

Hi. Hi.

His name is Sam. FIELDSTONE: Sam.

Hold on.

Honey, get in line.

Honey, I have to run these tickets over to someone.

How about it?

How about rapacious and love starved?

How amazing. It is, isn't it?

How did it happen? It's silly, really.

How did they get our number? Oh, let me guess. You gave it to them.

How do you know that? I live here, Dad.

How do you know this? Jed's got cable.

How do you know?

How do you know?

How do you know? Maybe he did. He didn't do it in the movies.

How exciting life is gonna be.

How I had it great and perfect for a while.

How I had it great and perfect for a while.

How long have you been there?

How many people in this world

How many place settings?

How much money do you have?

How would I do that? What do you mean? Call her up.

How your dad destroyed your life

How...? I hear that's a good place.

Hug Yourself, Hug a Friend, Hug a Shrink. Or work.

I am.

I can't believe this conversation has lasted this long. You go to bed.

I can't do this.

I certainly hope so.

I did not say love. Did I say love?

I did.

I do not wanna move to Seattle.

I don't care what you do! Good! Fine!

I don't even know him.

I don't have to see the whole thing, just the part

I don't know. Are we grading on a curve?

I don't know. Like, do you believe in heaven?

I don't need your help with that. I wanna know what it's like out there.

I don't see a ring, Annie.

I don't see how I'm gonna remember all this.

I don't think I could let a woman pay for dinner.

I don't think so.

I don't think. But you never know.

I don't want to be someone that anyone settles for.

I don't want to be someone that you're settling for.

I feel so much better just having blown this off.

I feel very strongly about this, Becky. It's not just about soup.

I forgot the present. Walter, I left your stepmother's present inside by accident.

I got hundreds of letters from women all over the country.

I got it.

I got married because Betsy said we had to break up or get married. So we got married.

I guess he could be.

I had them size it down.

I hardly know her myself. She's, in fact, a mystery to me.

I have 42. That'll probably cover cabs. But how would I get there?

I have no idea. Is it a twitch? Does she need a haircut?

I heard it. This kid calls up and says, My dad needs a wife.

I heard you on the radio. I told everyone about it.

I just couldn't believe my ears. I called my mother in Las Vegas.

I just want somebody that I can have a decent conversation with over dinner.

I just... I just got... I think I got nervous.

I knew it the first time I touched her.

I knew we'd be together forever. And that everything would be wonderful.

I know he is wonderful, isn't he?

I know her. I could give her a call.

I know that. You think I don't know that?

I know.

I know. I know, Walter. It doesn't make any sense at all.

I know. I know.

I left it by the telescopes.

I look like I'm trying to be tall. Her name is Annie Reed.

I look stupid. I look stupid. I look like I'm trying too hard.

I love this letter. You have to write to her.

I love you, Jonah.

I mean, didn't you? Yes, I did.

I mean, don't you ever feel nervous about... you know?

I mean, I'd seen him at the office. Obviously I'd seen him.

I mean, she loved... She made everything beautiful.

I miss her.

I never did.

I never would've bought the house with the dead tree.

I probably told you this a million times, but I don't care.

I promise. Sleepless in Seattle is history.

I really think a wedding without cold salmon is...

I said flying. Oh.

I said, Mother, turn on the radio. That's my architect.

I saw you in the street.

I should write something in this about magic.

I sincerely hope you're not marrying Jessica.

I started to wonder if we were the human equivalent

I swear, when we're old and grey

I tell you what it is: Two thousand women calling a radio station for a husband?

I think it's very hard for him to talk to you about all this.

I thought I saw a black widow spider.

I thought I would look into doing a story on those radio shows.

I thought maybe you and I could talk, it would make Jonah feel a little better. Sam?

I thought she'd be here. I thought she'd come.

I thought that was for hiccups. Does it work for hiccups?

I thought you'd never call me.

I want to meet you...

I was brushing my teeth and, suddenly, there you were.

I was gonna get a haircut, but I'd just look like I got a haircut.

I was just taking her hand

I was just taking her hand,

I was just wondering.

I was just...

I was just... I was just...

I was thinking about Seattle.

I was tossing and turning last night. You know what that's like, Sam.

I was wondering if, uh...

I went camping once.

I won't be in Chicago long. When you get back, I'll be gone.

I wonder if it still works this way.

I would like to propose a toast.

I'd much rather just see somebody I like

I'd rather die than eat airplane food.

I'll be in New York with Walter!

I'll be in New York with Walter. I can squeeze it in.

I'll be ten minutes behind you.

I'll be walking all over town smacking my gums together, not even noticing.

I'll go downstairs. Becky, I'll call you back.

I'll have an Absolut straight up, please.

I'll have... White wine spritzer?

I'll show you a picture of her.

I'll take you to Chinatown for dim sum.

I'll tell you what I'm doing this weekend.

I'll wait. You'll wait? Oh, right.

I'm a writer for the Baltimore Sun, and a friend of Laurie Johnson's.

I'm afraid I am allergic to strawberries.

I'm afraid I am allergic to strawberries.

I'm doing a piece on how people handle bereavement.

I'm Dr. Marcia Fieldstone, broadcasting live across America

I'm far away from that. What? No.

I'm getting laid. 1990s and nobody's getting laid.

I'm glad you liked it. Good night, Jonah.

I'm going back over there tomorrow

I'm going to run back to Walter's arms, if he'll still have me.

I'm having all of these fantasies about some man I've never even met,

I'm here. I'm coming. Dad!

I'm just assembling notes. I'm not... Notes.

I'm not allergic to salmon. Oh, he's not allergic...

I'm not even gonna think about what they're not teaching you in school.

I'm not leaving till you say yes.

I'm not now.

I'm out of here. Goodbye! Good night! I love you.

I'm so happy, Becky. Finally, I feel happy. This is right. This is real.

I'm sorry, ma'am. Empty.

I'm sorry, Walter. Are you bleeding?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm starting to forget her.

I'm telling them you're 12 so you can fly unaccompanied

I'm the only man in the America who's getting laid this weekend.

I've been an excellent third baseman, and while we're on it, let's just say right now:

I've read an article about this. Children are hideous at the age of 8.

Ice skate in Central Park.

If he eats even one tiny piece of a nut...

If I had every ring in the whole world to choose from.

If I hadn't married Martin

If it's in the computer, they'll believe anything.

If not, you can say, Well, that was great, and then you go home.

If there's any problem, here's the number to the paediatrician.

If we book now, we can get an excursion fare.

If you get a new wife, I guess you'll have sex with her, huh?

If you like them, you can always ask them to dinner.

If you play this backwards, it says Paul is dead.

If you would like to have a drink with me?

If you're having trouble sleeping, you might wanna try

If you've have just tuned in, we are talking to Sleepless in Seattle.

If you've just tuned in, this is Dr. Marcia Fieldstone

If your finger falls off, it's staying off.

In a pyramid scheme. Don't mention the IRS or the federal prisons system.

In movies, women always scratch up the man's back and screaming.

In one long, curly strip.

IRENE: It's the same with him and bees.

Is attracted to their subconscious, subconsciously.

Is because I'm younger and pure, so I'm more in touch with cosmic forces.

Is Clarise there? Has she been strangled?

Is end up always wondering what might've happened

Is something wrong?

Is this about that woman in Baltimore?

Is this all right with you?

Is this all right with you?

Is this crazy? No, that's the weirdest part about it.

Isn't it?

It doesn't. They ask you. I'm starting to notice that.

It feels true because it's true.

It just meant that we were supposed to be together.

It rains nine months of the year in Seattle.

It scared the shit out of every man in America!

It was fated? Annie,

It was like

It was like coming home,

It was like coming home, only to no home I'd ever known.

It was like kismet, but not, if you see what I mean.

It was like magic. Magic.

It was on 60 Minutes over those cows that got zapped by stray voltage.

It was right over there.

It was right. It was real. It was... It's a movie.

It was very French déjà vu ish kind of thing. Oui?

It's a sign that I have watched this movie too many times.

It's a sign. Who needed a sign?

It's a sign. You don't believe in signs.

It's all right. It's okay. It's okay.

It's Becky. She's having trouble with Rick again.

It's cute. It's like a little clue.

It's easier to be killed by a terrorist than to find a husband

It's in Oklahoma.

It's just cold feet, isn't it? Everybody panics before they get married.

It's just tough this time of year.

It's like that movie. What movie?

It's like what happens when I watch those phone company ads.

It's not him, Walter. It's me.

It's nothing. It was written before I went out there. Before the ho.

It's now or never.

It's okay. Ohh. There we go.

It's one of my wife's favourites.

It's only 10:00. Yeah, 10:00. Time for bed.

It's quite normal. Well...

It's so beautiful. It's exactly what I'd pick out

It's so good to see you. Where's Greg?

It's something you think you want, but then when it happens, it scares you.

It's sort of an afterlife, isn't it?

It's wonderful. I wish I could express my feelings.

It's Y O H. Yeah. What's that?

Jessica, honey. You have tell us where he is.

Jessica, this is your father. Tell us where he is. Right this minute!

Jessica.

Jessica's parents are travel agents... I'm not having this conversation.

Jimmy Carter, 1978.

JONAH [ON MACHINE]: This is Jonah Baldwin. We're not in right now, but you can...

Jonah, I'm home!

JONAH: But if I get yelled at, I'm never gonna listen to your show again.

JONAH: Dad, can we go to New York City for Valentine's Day?

JONAH: Dad, this is amazing.

JONAH: Dad? SAM: Yeah.

JONAH: He doesn't have one now. That's the problem.

JONAH: He doesn't sleep at all.

JONAH: He's not sane enough to judge anything.

JONAH: I've been pretty sad, but I think my Dad's worse.

JONAH: It's like it makes him sadder.

JONAH: It's not for me, it's for my dad. I think he needs a new wife.

JONAH: It's not that late in Seattle.

JONAH: Look at this, Dad. They're all for you.

JONAH: No. FIELDSTONE: Why not?

JONAH: Not really, he's out on the deck.

JONAH: Okay.

JONAH: She came over and cooked dinner.

JONAH: She died.

JONAH: That's not true.

JONAH: Why is she bringing those groceries?

JONAH: Yeah. What's he doing? Is he busy?

Jonah!

Jonah!

Jonah?

Jonah?

Jonah? What?

Jonah.

Jonah.

Jonah's daddy is very upset.

Just a few questions: Are you sleeping at night?

Just because someone is looking for a nice guy, it doesn't make them desperate.

Just the way you feel about Walter.

KERR: All I could say was hello. It's a sign.

KERR: Uh huh.

Kerr. Karr.

Kiss Howard.

Laurie?

Let's get into that right after these messages.

Like clockwork. Oh, honey...

Like lettuce and tomato without something else, like tuna?

Like, He has the cutest butt. Yeah.

Like, on the couch with this blanket over her shrivelled little legs.

Listen to me. You don't know Victoria.

Listen to this: Phone service in the Chicago area was tied up for two hours Christmas Eve

Listen, I'm doing an article on call in radio shows.

Listen...

Look, Annie, I love you. But let's leave that out of this.

Look, it's Christmas.

LORETTA: All I'm saying is I wouldn't kick this guy out of my bed for eating crackers.

Loss of Spouse Support Group.

M F E O?

M F E O.

M F E O.

Made for each other.

Maggie, my wife.

MAGGIE: Can I have half your beer?

Magic.

Magic.

MAN [OVER RADIO]: Welcome back to the best of Dr. Marcia Fieldstone

MAN: And here's another one. Do you got room for one more here?

MAN: Excuse me, Mr. Baldwin? Yes.

MAN: Mummy got sick. And it happened just like that.

MAN: Sleepless in Seattle.

MAN: Sleepless in Seattle.

MAN: Subject of this evening's medical update is: You and your spleen.

MAN: This man sells the greatest soup you've ever eaten, and he is the meanest man in America.

Marriage is hard enough without bringing such low expectations into it.

Maybe it's the flowers.

Maybe when I come back, the two of us

Maybe when we get home, we'll get a dog.

Me too. Bye.

Men never get this movie.

Microwave. Five minutes.

Miss Scarlet. In the broom closet. With the radio.

Mum knew. Dad, Mum knew.

Mum never yelled at me.

Mum, destiny is something we've invented

Mum.

Mummy! It's okay. It's okay.

My father has electric trains. Really?

My head swells up like a watermelon and I drop dead.

N Y. SAM: What is that?

Never is a frightening word.

New Year's Eve. Please don't make me write it.

Next time you think you see a black widow spider I want you to say:

No one's gonna pack it on ice and take you to hospital,

No one's gonna pack it on ice and take you to hospital,

No way.

No, don't touch them! I feel terrible, sneezing at a time like this.

No, don't wait, Walter. Really, it's silly, you go ahead. We're late anyway.

No, I wouldn't put it that way.

No, I'm Cynthia.

No, I'm going to meet my new mother.

No, no, no. I don't need this.

No, real change. A new city.

No, you don't do it like I do it. You do it in your own suave way.

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. No? Why not?

No. This is the only reason for this call?

Nobody knows. It changes practically every day.

Not bad. Really?

Not even when you were young? No, not even when I was young.

Not on the first date, because halfway through dinner, you could be really sorry.

Now he's kissing her on the lips. My dad's been captured by a ho! What am I going to do?

Now he's obsessed with this one woman who wrote me.

Now she wants the fireplace rebricked.

Now those were the days when people knew how to be in love.

Now we're getting down to it.

Observation deck? Sorry, ma'am, but it's too late.

Of two rights making a wrong.

Oh, babe.

Oh, go ahead.

Oh, God. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Is that Karr or Kerr?

Oh, great.

Oh, honey. He's a lovely man, Annie.

Oh, how will I get back to Baltimore on Friday?

Oh, Howard. Hello, Howard.

Oh, I've gotta rush. La décorateur calls.

Oh, it was so funny. We were hysterical. What was that?

Oh, it's so amazing when he comes to see her.

Oh, Jed's got...

Oh, this is gonna be tough.

Oh, well, it was...

Oh, well, Walter, you will!

Oh? Oh, really?

Oh.

Oh. No, please. I really need to get up there.

Oh. Oh. Well, this is really fun. And helpful.

Oh...

Oh... Walter and I are engaged.

Ohh. Beautiful view.

Okay, I'll meet you there. Okay. All right.

Okay. Good. Goodbye. Beck.

Okay. Okay. Good.

Okay. She's gonna meet him at the top of the Empire State Building.

Okay. What are you selling tonight? Micro hibachis or knives?

On account of which I got divorced.

On account of which I hit a car and met Rick while buying a neck brace.

On the radio, I've been a complete jerk.

On the top of the Empire State Building.

On Valentine's Day.

One of the things I truly knew was that your father and I

One, two, three. There's, like, 26 states between here and there. Now, that's a sign.

Only to no home I'd ever known.

Or a slice of pizza? Not dinner.

Or lock yourself in the closet or do anything that makes you need stitches.

Or someone really sick, someone like my Rick.

Ought to spend some time together on our own. What do you think?

Oui. At least you're out there seeing people again. That's terrific.

Parents without Partners. Partners without Parents.

People who truly loved once are far more likely to love again.

PILOT [OVER PA]: This is Captain Browning. We're cruising at 35,000 feet.

Please, Becky. I'm madly in love with Walter. He did the craziest thing the other night.

Please, don't tell anybody what happened.

Please, no more. God, I love that movie.

Pride of the Yankees! Yeah. Yeah.

Pride of the Yankees. Pride of the Yankees.

Psst. SAM: Okay, Clarise.

Read this!

Really?

Register.

Remember, Dad, the Lou Gehrig line from, uh...

Richard Jaeckel, at the beginning, he had on a shiny helmet, because he was an MP.

Right, honey. Right.

Right, right. Move on, right, that's what I'm gonna do.

Right. Where is Baltimore?

ROB: Where are you gonna go?

Sam, do you think that there is someone out there you could love as much as your wife?

Sam, I'm sorry... She didn't mean that.

Sam, it's nice to meet you.

Sam, Jonah, don't go away.

SAM: I'm leaving first thing in the morning,

SAM: Money, money, money, see?

SAM: Now I'm late. Bye. Dad, read this.

SAM: Oh, you can count on it.

SAM: Well, how long is your programme?

SAM: Well, how long is your programme?

SAM: Well, I'm going to get out of bed every morning.

SAM: What do you mean, okay?

SAM: What possessed you to give them our address?

SAM: Who's Annie? The one who wrote us.

Sam.

Sandy has a girlfriend, Glenda. She's a weightlifter.

See you soon. Sleepless in Seattle.

Seven. Eight! Mary Kelly.

Shall we?

She brought two bags of groceries like she was staying here for a year!

She could peel an apple

She had really fat fingers.

She laughs like a hyena. Is this true?

She looked like somebody we would have been friends with.

She looks like my third grade teacher. I hated my third grade teacher.

She really did it...

She says you knew Annie in another life.

She thinks Brooks Robinson is the greatest. So do you.

She tosses her hair a lot. Why does she do this?

She wants to meet me at the top of Empire State Building.

She was completely hysterical.

She's back. She has another idea.

She's gonna cook us something

She's just lying there, you know.
