Hanging Up Page #2

Synopsis: Georgia Mozell, Eve Marks and Maddy Mozell are adult sisters. Georgia is the editor of her own wildly successful self-titled women's magazine. She strives for publicity at any cost. Party planner Eve is the mother hen of the group, not only of her own family, but also of her siblings and father as their mother, Pat, not only emotionally left their father when they divorced, but her daughters as well. And Maddy is a vacuous soap opera actress who has always struggled for her own identity. Despite being as busy with her own life as the others, Eve is the only one of the three who deals with the long term hospitalization of their cantankerous seventy-nine year old father, Lou Mozell, when he enters the early stages of dementia, and the associated outcomes of that hospitalization. Eve's caring for Lou is despite an especially hurtful incident with him seven years earlier. As the emotional aspect of looking after Lou becomes more and more stressful, Eve has to figure out how to maintain her

and that's what he wrote.

Is this eerie or what?

"It's too late." My God!

What does it mean?

Too late for tests, forhelp.

This is serious. He's disoriented.

He's in a wheelchair.

He's telling us it's over.

They should adjust his medications.

Did you talk to the doctor?

The doctor was

approximately 11 years old.

Obviously, it wasn't the real doctor.

It was a resident.

Call back and ask

to speak to the real doctor.

I said I wanted Maureen Oriff.

He mentioned

John Wayne's pecker again.

You gotta be kidding! Did he really?

That is hilarious!

He is obsessed with that pecker.

I wasn't talking to you. Sorry.

You weren't here.

I am sorry I couldn't be there.

Oh, Maddy.

- This is my only vacation!

- I didn't mean it that way.

We work 10 hours a day,

five days a week, 52 weeks a year.

- Yeah, I know.

- Aside from the dialogue...

...soaps are the closest thing

to theater on television.

The only reason that

I can go away now...

...is because Juliana is

in the Bahamas...

...because her boss

is having an affair.

Who's Juliana?

My character, Juliana.

Who is fully three-dimensional...

...and who right now is wrestling

with very serious identity problems.

Don't you ever watch my show?

Did she hang up?

- Maddy?

- Take this.

I gotta go. I'm sorry. I love you.

Call me every five minutes.

Did Maddy hang up?

- Did she hang up?

- It's possible.

She may come back in a cowboy outfit,

talking about fly-fishing.

What do you wanna bet

she'll come back with a cowboy?

She thinks she's the only one

who works. I'm planning...

I'm so busy with

this fifth anniversary edition.

I know it's a little self-indulgent.

My fifth anniversary.

Between you and me, I can't believe

my magazine has lasted this long.

Get this.

I'm planning this event...

...Los Angeles Women in Commerce,

their annual party.

I landed it.

It'll put my company on the map.

That is so sweet,

yourlittle company.

lfyou're in business,

and you sort ofare...

...you should shop

at Barneys or Saks.

Oh, God! I'm sorry!

I'm so sor...

Are you all right?

Why would you do that?

- What are you thinking about?

- I'm so sorry!

My lights are just falling off!

- You see what you did?

- I can see that.

I'm Eve Marks.

Hello. I'm so sorry.

Dr. Kunundar.

You're not driving well.

Thank you for not screaming.

It's just that I was so distracted.

I just put my father

in the hospital. I'm sorry.

I hope it's not serious.

You can't drive like...

I have my card somewhere.

- Look at this.

- Wait a minute.

There you go.

- "No Surprises."

- I'm a party planner.

We do special events, and everything

goes smoothly. No surprises.

- I see.

- I'm sorry.
