The Family Man Page #2

A WOMAN'S BACK...draped in a towel...an incredible

back, neither flabby nor overly toned, beautifully

curved...Jack focuses on it a moment. As the woman

turns to him...

PAULA. Beautiful, late 20s, a toothbrush in her

mouth...

PAULA:

(holding up toothbrush)

I hope you don't mind. There

were like ten new ones in the

cabinet.

A playful smile from Paula.

JACK:

It's not what you think. I

took Mentadent public...

Paula smiles, moves over to a chair and grabs a little

black dress hanging neatly over it.

PAULA:

Did you really mean what you

said about Tuscany?

JACK:

Of course I did.

PAULA:

Last night was great...

JACK:

You are an amazing lover. You

should be giving motivational

seminars.

PAULA:

Thanks. You're not bad

yourself...

Jack grabs his Frank Mueller watch from the night

stand, puts it on his wrist. He looks at Paula as she

slips the dress on.

JACK:

I want to see you again.

PAULA:

I'd like that, too.

JACK:

Tonight.

She turns to him.

PAULA:

It's Christmas Eve, Jack.

JACK:

So we'll get egg nog.

Paula laughs.

PAULA:

(putting on her shoes)

I have to go to my parents'

house out in Jersey. Would

you like to come?

JACK:

Jersey? You know what the

traffic's gonna be like?

PAULA:

I'm taking the train...

Paula approaches Jack, leaning over him, her long hair

dangling on his chest.

PAULA (CONT'D)

Don't you have anywhere to go?

JACK:

I've got plenty of places to

go.

He stays there, confident, sexy, waiting for an

answer...

PAULA:

(a sexy laugh, then...)

Maybe I can try and sneak away

some time tomorrow morning...

(kissing him on

the lips)

Okay?

JACK:

(coy)

If it's something you feel

strongly about.

Paula walks to the door, then turns back to Jack.

PAULA:

It was nice meeting you, Jack...

CHAPTER TWO - MAIN TITLES

4AINT. JACK’S APARTMENT - MORNING

Jack saunters over to a Yamaha Grand Disclavier in the

living room. He puts a disk into the piano and...

...the keys come alive with the music of BACH. Jack

hits a switch and suddenly the entire apartment is

enveloped in music...

4BINT. JACK’S BUILDING, CORRIDOR - SAME TIME

Paula, waiting for the elevator, hears the MUSIC

emanating from Jack’s apartment...an intrigued glance

Back’s “Passion According to St. Matthew” is blaring

through the speakers, the music is swelling to full

orchestra...

Jack’s at the mirror in this incredibly neat marble-

tiled bathroom, shaving with a silver-plated Hammacher

Schlemmer razor, HUMMING with the orchestra...
