Rumor Has It... Page #2

you're going home to see your family.

I do?

I do.

Because I don't fit in with them.

I don't fit with anybody.

You fit with me.

Come here.

Come on.

You okay?

I can go tell the pilot

to turn the plane around.

So are we...?

Are we through here?

- Yeah.

- Okay, I got a plan.

- Okay.

- You leave...

...I'll wait here a few seconds,

maybe tidy up a little bit...

...then I'll slip out very discreetly...

...and pretend like I'm looking

for some more almonds.

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- You got it?

- Yes.

- Okay. All right.

- Hey, how you doing?

- I'm okay.

- I was just... You know.

- Yeah.

- Probably should go now.

- Yeah.

- I tell you about the tunnels?

- The tunnels?

There are tunnels

near Dodger Stadium.

Ever since we were little, we'd hold

our breath as we drove through them.

Now, my dad still thinks

that this is tremendous fun...

...and he will unquestionably

try to involve you in it.

- Yes.

- You don't have to...

...certainly not for me.

You know, I urge you not to, because

my dad drives like such an old lady...

...getting through the tunnel,

you'll pass out.

- Got it.

- Okay, now, tennis...

...always a safe subject, always safe.

Wine, good. You know,

any travel anecdotes...

...especially Europe, really good.

Don't bring up guns

or the death penalty...

...and whatever you do,

do not bring up Vietnam.

Why would I bring up Vietnam?

On the other hand, he loves

talking about the Civil War...

...Antietam and Shiloh.

Relax, it's gonna be fine.

I know. I'm saying,

in case you get stuck.

I'm not gonna get stuck.

I'm a lawyer, I talk for a living.

You're a very good lawyer.

If you get stuck, as a last resort...

...talk about the Rams leaving L.A.

- Thank you very much.

- Here they are. Here they are.

- Daddy. Hi.

Hi, sweetheart.

- Hi. How are you?

- Great.

Daddy, this is Jeff.

The guy you've been hiding?

Earl Huttinger.

- Nice to meet you.

- What are your intentions with Sarah?

I know one thing, I'd take her to

a Rams game if they were still in L.A.

Oh, don't get me started on that.

How can a professional league...

...not have a team in the country's

second-largest market?

The St. Louis Rams? What is that?

I can't even say it.

Dad, you are allowed

to go the speed limit.

Here they come.

- The tunnels.

- You heard about them?

- Dad, can we please not...?

- On three. One, two...

All right, that's...

You guys can stop now.

Oh, come on, you guys.

What are you, like, 5 years old?

Jeff? First time in Pasadena?

- Yes, sir, it is.

- There's an old saying:

"Nobody comes from L.A.,

everybody comes to L.A.

But if you do come from Los Angeles,

then you probably come from Pasadena."
