Arizona Dream Page #2

Synopsis: An Innuit hunter races his sled home with a fresh-caught halibut. This fish pervades the entire film, in real and imaginary form. Meanwhile, Axel tags fish in New York as a naturalist's gofer. He's happy there, but a messenger arrives to bring him to Arizona for his uncle's wedding. It's a ruse to get Axel into the family business. In Arizona, Axel meets two odd women: vivacious, needy, and plagued by neuroses and familial discord. He gets romantically involved with one, while the other, rich but depressed, plays accordion tunes to a gaggle of pet turtles.

Yeah? Is De Niro funny? Is Pacino funny?

Is Rocky funny? Was Rocky funny?

- The great actors are all from New York.

- Sinatra?

Sinatra's from Hoboken, New Jersey.

Now let's toast.

- Alright? It's been three years, OK?

- Three years.

To three years. Three years.

- Three years.

- Three years.

- Blanche.

- Blanche.

Ginger ale.

- Ginger ale...

- Ginger ale...

...two shots.

Three years. We don't see each other

three years and you want ginger ale.

- Thank you, Blanche. Thank you, Blanche.

- Thank you for the ginger ale.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome, boys.

Gimme a hug.

I'll plug my nose.

Ok! Ok, back to the dream.

The man gives the stomach balloon

to the little boy.

Pushes him out of the igloo.

While the kid is outside,

the two inside the igloo start, y'know...

Yelling... Stop yelling, we're on Broadway.

Show respect to the... to the artists here.

Therefore, I know you're all

dying for a piece of wedding cake...

So I will make this short and sweet.

Millie...

...dear friends...

...waiters and waitresses, I'd like to

propose this wedding toast...

- Leo?

- Not now, Millie.

Come on!

- Hey!

- Don't f*** around!

Hey! Don't f*** around!

Cut it out!

Cut it out! Cut it out!

Don't be a jerk! Cut it out!

Cut it out!

I got an audition coming up! You're lucky

I don't come down, I'd kick your ass...

Cut it out!

Axel! Cut it out!

- Axel! You want me to come down?

- Ok! Come on down!

Come on...

- Stop shaking the ladder!

- Axel!

- Do you want me to come down?

- Leo!

- My boy!

- Cut it out! Axel!

I can't believe this!

- Leo! Leo!

- Axel! Axel!

You got big on me!

- I guess you heard about the wedding?

- I did. Oh, congratulations, Leo.

Thank you! I'd be especially proud

if you'd be my best man.

I wish I could, I've... I've gotta

get back to New York tonight.

Sure... Larry, we have to make Axel

an appointment tomorrow for a fitting.

Honestly, Leo, I've got to go.

- Yeah, I know! It's so good to see you, Axel.

- You, too.

You look terrific.

I... I... I just wanna show you something.

I... I wanna share this with you.

What do you think about my Saguro?

- The cactus?

- Nice, huh?

Let me let you in on a secret:..

You see, when a cactus is that young,

it is exceptionally vulnerable.

That's why I planted that Mesquite tree

right next to it, for protection.

You see, if you don't see an older tree

nearby a new cactus, you can forget it.

It ain't gonna make it.

Enough for that. Come on inside.

Somebody's dyin' in to meet you.

Millie! Millie, I'd like you to meet

my nephew Axel.

Axel, this is Millie.

Millie, Axel.

Axel, Millie.

How do you do?

- Aren't you overdoing it just a little, Millie?
