Sleepless in Seattle Page #4

TOM:

Because you're going to call

them all and tell them.

Congratulations, Walter.

He claps Walter on the back.

Walter sneezes. And sneezes again.

CLIFF:

Are you all right?

WALTER:

It's nothing. Nothing.

ANNIE:

It's probably just the flowers --

BARBARA:

We'll move them --

WALTER:

Don't touch them. I feel

terrible sneezing at a time

like this. This is a big

moment for me --

ANNIE:

(overlapping)

He's allergic to everything,

don't worry about it --

HAROLD:

Bees. I'm allergic to bees.

CLIFF:

Not salmon I hope --

ANNIE:

If he eats one tiny piece of a

nut --

WALTER:

(cheerfully)

My head swells up like a

watermelon and I drop dead.

IRENE:

It's the same with Harold and

bees.

CLIFF:

Your mother and I had salmon at

our wedding, and I really think

a wedding without cold salmon --

WALTER:

I'm not allergic to salmon. I

don't think. But you never

know.

HAROLD:

You never know.

BARBARA:

Oh, honey, I feel terrible, we

used up this magnum of

champagne we were saving on

something else, what did we use

it for?

TOM:

Uncle Milton's parole --

BARBARA:

Right.

UNCLE MILTON:

And it was delicious.

BARBARA:

It was, wasn't it, Milton

darling --

BETSY:

When are you getting married,

Annie?

CLIFF:

In early June. In the garden.

HAROLD:

Does it have to be in the garden?

IRENE:

What about Harold and bees?

BARBARA:

We'll spray you.

CLIFF:

Cold salmon. A lovely cucumber

salad. Strawberries.

WALTER:

I'm afraid I'm allergic to

strawberries.

CLIFF:

No strawberries.

Annie smiles at Walter.

ANNIE:

(to Walter)

Is that all right with you?

WALTER:

(to Lou Gehrig line)

Today I consider myself the

luckiest man on the face of

the earth.

IRENE:

What are you wearing?

ANNIE:

I don't know.

BETSY:

I wish you would wear my dress.

I only wore it once, and you'll

barely have to do anything to

it except take it in in the

bust --

BARBARA:

I have something that might do

--

INT. LIVING ROOM - LATER

Walter is sitting on the couch as Cliff shows him slides

of cloud formations in Guatemala. In the next room

Tom's at the piano and the kids are singing Christmas

carols.

INT. BACK STAIRWAY - SIMULTANEOUS

MAX, one of the children, is teaching Uncle Milton to

burp.

INT. ATTIC - NIGHT

The sound of Christmas carols from below.

The attic is full of boxes and Annie walks through with

her mother. They come to a dressmakers dummy with a

sheet over it. Barbara removes the sheet. A beautiful

antique dress. A veil sitting on top of the dummy.
