The Anniversary Party Page #4
JERRY:
There's still time to undo this.
SALLY:
(kisses his cheek)
We'll be fine.
JERRY:
(re:
barking dog)Did you invite them?
SALLY:
The Roses? And of course they said yes.
JERRY:
That was the plan. And you're thrilled
to have them.
SALLY:
Whatever you say.
JERRY:
Did you tell Joe to behave?
SALLY:
Yes.
JERRY:
Did he promise?
SALLY:
Scout's honor.
JERRY:
Before I forget.
(pulls a novel from his
briefcase)
Put it on the bookshelf.
She flips the book -- on the back is a full page picture of
RYAN ROSE.
SALLY:
You're out of your mind.
JERRY:
Just do what I say, alright?
SALLY:
How much bowing and scraping do you want
us to do?
JERRY:
Beats a lawsuit.
Joe and Judy sit on opposite sides of the sofa -- slightly
uncomfortable with each other.
JOE:
(to fill the silence,
conspiratorial grin)
I love gifts. What did you guys get us?
JUDY:
(chokes on the champagne)
Nothing that can't be exchanged.
JOE:
Oh. Well. Good.
JUDY:
Congratulations on the deal. How
exciting. Is Sally doing Sally? I mean
it's Sally. The character that's based
on Sally. The character that's based on
Sally in the book.
JOE:
The novel. No, Skye Davidson is playing
the lead.
JUDY:
Oh my God, I'm a huge Skye Davidson fan.
She's very beautiful.
JOE:
Yes, she is.
JUDY:
(trying harder)
But I am right, yes? She's based on
Sally.
JOE:
It's a novel.
JUDY:
Still. Well. Let's drop it.
JOE:
Yes.
JUDY:
I'm not much of a reader, but I do love
autobiographies, even biographies
sometimes. Mostly non-fiction. Did you
read the new Styron?
JOE:
No.
JUDY:
It's very good.
(a moment)
I understand you won the Booker Prize.
JOE:
Yes I did.
JUDY:
(another moment)
Is your script much like the novel?
Jerry says it's very good. But you know,
you read the novel, and then you see the
movie - and most of the time you say,
"what's this?" You know? I sometimes
think we're better off not reading the
novel at all. Because, we come with
expectations... and of course, we know
where we're going. Don't you find?
JOE:
Don't I find what?
JUDY:
I don't know why Joe, we've known each
other how long...
JOE:
Not long.
JUDY:
(benign)
Don't be silly.
JOE:
Joking.
JUDY:
Yes I know. I started to say... I
started to say Joe that --
JOE:
Do I put you off?
JUDY:
You manage to throw me off balance. I
adore you.
JOE:
And I you.
JUDY:
But I'm always afraid I'll say something
stupid.
JOE:
Ah.
JUDY:
And so I always manage to, do you see?
Like the book/script thing, do you see?
JOE:
Mmm hmmm.
INT. FOYER
CAL and SOPHIA GOLD are there with their children - JACK and
EVIE - eight and six respectively. Carrying gifts and totes
with toys and changes. Jerry and Sally have gathered them up
and ushered them in.
