Kate & Leopold Page #7

Oh, Stuart,

I saw Roebling's bridge today.

I saw it... complete.

Yes, yes, but listen to me.

You can't go out again.

You have to stay

in the apartment.

Stay in the apartment?

For how long?

Leo, I'll be back tonight.

I promise--

no more field trips.

Would you...

Hel... hello?

Stuart? Hello?

Blast!

Hello.

Hello.

Who are you?

Hector. My mom works late

on Wednesdays

so I watch TV with Stuart.

Want some Pirate's Booty?

J.J.:

Hang on.

Excuse me, J.J., I wanted

to thank you for the shirt.

That was very nice.

Come in, come in.

Yeah. Uh-huh.

Absolutely.

Oh, good, good.

Yeah, she's here right now.

I'll tell her.

Okay... okay.

Bye.

Sit down.

That was Barry.

He was thrilled

with your work

at the screening

last night.

Oh, good. Good.

You're a rarity

among women, Kate.

I'm sorry?

You don't cling

to illusion.

You don't get caught up

in emotion.

You don't do pretty.

I don't?

You skew male.

You're like a man.

A man who understands women--

their desires, their needs.

You understand them

but you're not really

one of them.

You don't mind my

being frank, do you?

No. I don't. No.

Edamame?

Kate?

But one day, he lowered

the Jolly Roger

-Stu?

-and set sail in search

of another kind

of treasure.

Not money, not

jewels, not gold...

but a bride.

Despite his being a ruffian

of the brine

fearless in his plunder

and merciless

with the sword

the Pirate King

was also lonely.

You see,

he had never met a lady.

He never met a girl?

No. Not a girl, not a lady,

not even his own mother.

-So what happened?

-As with all comedies

the most ridiculous thing

imaginable-- the Pirate King

fell in love with

the major-general's daughter.

I had the good fortune to see

the premiere last month

at the Fifth

Avenue Theatre.

Since when is Penzance

at the Fifth?

Is it your habit, sir

to simply enter a conversation

without introduction?

to simply enter a conversation

without introduction?

Whoa, you are deep in it.

It's cool. I'm an actor, too.

I'm Charlie. I live downstairs.

Kate McKay,

senior vice president.

Darci, it hasn't happened.

All he did

was dangle a carrot.

Until he makes a decision

the pressure's doubled.

When's he going

to make a decision?

We're having dinner tomorrow

to discuss it further

at Commune.

-Kate?

-Yeah.

-I have Stuart on the line.

-No!

-He says he's in the hospital.

-No!

I got the number

of a specialist.

A bone guy--

he did David Cohn's elbow--

so he'll check on you tomorrow.

You're not listening to me,

Kate.

I can't be here tomorrow.

I can't be here today.

I have to go home now.

Leopold is just sitting alone

in my apartment-- God knows

what could happen to him.
