Autumn in New York Page #3

- Try it on.

- I'm soaked.

It's alright.

Go ahead. Try it on.

You have to imagine it on your friend.

Is it the line ofwoman's hip?

- Is it?

- Yes.

- What a shame.

- Why?

- She stood me up.

- Who?

My date. She called an hour ago;

said she had a cold.

It sounded more like

the hiccups to me.

- So, you mean you're not going to go?

- Alone? No, no...

Unless...

What?

No... no...

- Wait, no... wait...

- No. Forget it.

No wait, what were you

going to say?

I don't know. I don't know.

You wouldn't want to go, would you?

Great. Forget it. Thanks.

Thank you very much.

It'sjust...

- You've got the hiccups!

- Are you kidding? I'd go in a heartbeat.

- You're fabulous!

- Yeah?

Oh dear...

- It must be me.

- Must be.

- Do you think I'm too old for you?

- No, I collect antiques.

Or I aspire to.

We appreciate it.

I would love to go,

but I'm a disaster.

I think with a little plaster and a

little paint, you're as good as new.

Do you wanna see the dress?

There's a dress?

I'm curious. What made you choose

my restaurantfor your party?

I had to pick a place for my party.

I read that article about you.

- The magazine!

- The magazine.

- It's so embarrassing.

- No. I liked it.

You don't dance. You float.

That's from my dad.

I used to stand on his feet.

My mom was a great dancer too.

But, you knew what. Maybe.

We danced a couple oftimes.

Now you're dancing with me.

How weird is that?

She was very special.

I had great parents.

I was lucky.

Shall we do this?

Here you go!

- Do you want something to drink?

- Yes, champagne please.

I'll get you one. Sit at the table

and I'll be over in a second.

I had to come. I work at the museum.

What's your excuse?

- A date... sort of.

- With Will Keane, right?

- Yeah, do you know him?

- Only by reputation.

- I'm Lisa Biloy.

- I'm Charlotte.

- Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you too.

What's he like?

Damn it, I see a huge donor

disappearing. I gotta go.

- Enjoy yourself.

- Yes, you too.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Who was that?

- Lisa somebody.

- Here's to...

- Us!

Some people star to fall

into recognizable patterns.

The next step is that... immediately...

you know people...

inside. And if it's a woman...

it's a romance, forget it. It'sjust...

this majorly chilling effect'cause

you know exactly in the beginning...

what's going to happen in the end.

What I like about you is I fiind you...

completely unprecedented...

and therefore, utterly unpredictable.

God! That must be a relief.

What?

To fiinally deliver that speech to a

woman and have it apply to there.

Because, coincidentally,

I am all those things you just said.

- Yes.

- And so much more.
