RUTH:
(to Letty)
Can you believe it?
Ruth sits back down and pulls a gorgeous ring from her purse.
She slips it on and wiggles her finger in front of Letty and
her mother, who peers at it with approval.
MRS. MAYER
Tell us every detail.
LETTY:
You've only known Jake a few
months.
RUTH:
Three and a week.
(screaming again)
Isn't it great?
MRS. MAYER
My goodness. What about an
engagement party? We must start
planning.
(signaling a waiter)
Champagne. Girls, we need some
champagne.
Off Letty's frozen smile, we

INT. BEDROOM - LETTY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
Letty's in bed, drawing a giant multiplication chart. PAUL
LASCHER, early 30s, handsome in a corporate way, shrugs off
his expensive suit.
He opens a drawer of Letty's dresser, and removes a neatly
pressed T-shirt. He smooths out another shirt he has
accidently rumpled in the process.
PAUL:
So, another one bites the dust.
LETTY:
It's not another one. It's my
sister.
(beat)
Aren't you happy for her?
PAUL:
She's only known the guy a few
months.
Paul lays his folded trousers across Letty's desk.
PAUL:
Can I put these here for tonight?
LETTY:
(pointing to the closet)
In there's better.
(beat)
It's kind of romantic, don't you
think?
PAUL:
I really think if you're going to
spend your life with someone you
want to know them pretty damn well.
Paul sits on the bed, and leans against a pillow.
LETTY:
Believe me, I know your feelings on
the matter.
PAUL:
The receptionist said you called
earlier about something.
Letty holds up her multiplication chart and shows it to Paul.
9.
LETTY:
My math program. The
Superintendent said he'd fund it.
PAUL:
Good going. I knew you could do
it.
Paul kisses Letty on the cheek.
PAUL:
It looks like we're both bucking
for advancement.
LETTY:
Yeah?
PAUL:
Huntley told me today that if I
come through on the Benton
deposition, they may consider me
for senior associate.
Letty hugs Paul.
LETTY:
Congratulations. We should
celebrate.
PAUL:
I was thinking dinner on Friday
with James and Meg at the Saint
Mark.
LETTY:
I mean tonight.
Letty sensually caresses his shoulders.
LETTY:
Like right now...
PAUL:
Actually, I need to review the
deposition questions tonight.
Maybe tomorrow?
LETTY:
Oh, ok. Maybe.
10.
PAUL:
But I thought if you don't mind,
you could listen and see how I come
across?
LETTY:
(beat)
Sure. Of course.
Letty continues coloring her multiplication chart.
PAUL:
Letty, please, I need your full
attention.
Letty puts the chart down and sits up straighter.
LETTY:
Let me have it.
