NINA:

And?

GEORGE:

He drove too fast.

NINA:

Oh wait. So George, do you want to meet him?

GEORGE:

Do I want to meet him?

SCENE 8

NINA:

Oh, hello. Hi!

BRIAN:

Hi. I'm Brian MacKenzie.

NINA:

Good. I'm Nina Banks.

BRIAN:

Yes, I recognize you from your picture.

NINA:

Yes, come on in.

BRIAN:

The one Annie had with her in Rome.

NINA:

Yes. Oh, good. Come in.

BRIAN:

Okay. (TO GEORGE): Hello, Mr. Banks.

GEORGE:

(VO)

It was the first time I ever hated the sound of my own name.

GEORGE:

Hi.

BRIAN:

I've heard so much about you. It's great to finally meet you, sir!

GEORGE:

(VO)

"Sir." Two words now crossed my mind: "brown" and "nose."

BRIAN:

Annie talks about you so much, I feel like I already know you.

ANNIE:

Brian?

BRIAN:

Oh, Annie.

ANNIE:

So, this is him!

NINA:

Oh, he's just, just a...

BRIAN:

A little nervous. This is one of those situations you read about. You

know, meeting the in-laws. You two seem great. I'm sure I have

nothing to be nervous about. But, uh...still...

GEORGE:

Let's...Let's, uh...go to the uh...uh...

BRIAN:

Great!

NINA:

I think he's adorable.

GEORGE:

I don't like him.

NINA:

Oh, George!

GEORGE:

He's wearing Nikes!

ANNIE:

Mom, where's Matty?

NINA:

Oh, he fell asleep watching TV.

ANNIE:

Oh well, you'll meet him tomorrow.

NINA:

So...uh...How did you two...uh...meet?

ANNIE:

Oh, we were the only two people at this revival house in Rome for a

midnight show of "Bringing Up Baby." We kept hearing each other laugh.

BRIAN:

And at all the same places.

ANNIE:

Yeah. And when it was over, I picked him up.

BRIAN:

Oh, no, no, no. I went over to your to ask directions and one thing

led to another and...

ANNIE:

And that was it. For the next three months we never left each other's

sight. We went to all these museums, all these great concerts, the

opera. We traveled to the country. Remember that place we stayed in

Tuscany?

BRIAN:

The one with the uh...? Suffice it to stay it wasn't a four star

hotel. You have a very brave daughter!

GEORGE:

Uh, Brian...What is it exactly that you do? Annie was saying something

about computers?

BRIAN:

Oh yeah, um...I'm an independent communications consultant.

GEORGE:

Yeah, yeah...that part I heard.

BRIAN:

It sounds fake, right? Like I don't have a real job?

NINA:

No...no...We wouldn't say that.

BRIAN:

That's what my Dad said when he first heard what I was doing. But,

uh...what it is, in this case, Pacific International Bank sent me to

Rome to hook up an X-dot connection to their European subsidiary. Uh,

all European computers communicate on the Dot 25 network. And uh,

since Pacific International is an L.A.-based firm, they wanted to

interface with standard European protocol. So, I set 'em up.
