The Weather Man Page #2

Synopsis: Dave Spritz is a local weatherman in his home town of Chicago, where his career is going well while his personal life -- his relationship with his perfectionist writer father, his neurotic ex-wife, and his now-separated children -- is spiraling downward. Despite being both loathed and loved by the local masses, Dave is a guy who doesn't seem to have it all together, and in this film, he begins to feel it. An attractive job offer presents Dave with a major question: to pursue his career in New York City, or to remain at home with his family.

Okay, we'll take that.

And private lessons.

All right, Shelly.

You take that one...

and go right ahead.

All right. Okay, just remember...

pull it straight back,

parallel to your ear, okay?

You can do it, Shelly.

We purchased a five-pack lesson plan.

We haven't been back.

Hello?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Can you pick up Mike

at the mall on North?

I thought he was at a friend's house.

Paul Norris.

They went to the mall.

He just called me.

- He finished his rehab.

- Okay.

- That's one of my counselors.

- In your program?

Don Boden. He's pretty nice.

- He swears all the time, though.

- Swears?

Yeah. To relate, I guess.

But he's pretty nice.

Hey, Don.

- What are you guys doing?

- Looking for clothes.

You're just looking for clothes.

- Yeah.

- That's great.

I'm looking for clothes.

Okay.

- This is Paul.

- What's up?

Hey.

It's cold today.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, no kidding.

What is it, like, 20 or something?

Yeah, like 22.

Yeah. F***.

Yeah.

Hey.

- Yeah, I like this.

- It's good-looking.

Yeah, I've been looking

for something like this.

Chuck it in here.

- What?

- Chuck it in.

I'm loading up. I got a discount card.

I'll get it for you.

- That's all right.

- Mike, big deal.

- I can get it.

- Bro, I got a serious discount.

It's gonna cost, like, $7.

- I'm gonna take off. Nice to meet you.

- You, too.

That's my dad. I'll see you later.

Sure. I'll catch you later.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Who's that?

- Don Boden.

- Who's Don Boden?

- He's one of my counselors.

Oh.

- That's a nice sweater.

- Thanks.

I'll walk you up.

Hi.

Hi. Thanks for getting Mike.

- Hey, how was your thing?

- It was good.

- I'll see you, Dad.

- Okay, Mike.

- I think he's gonna be okay.

- Well, we'll see.

What's new?

Nothing much.

I got a feeler from Hello America.

- What?

- I got a feeler.

Dales is leaving it.

I might get called to audition.

New York.

- If I get called.

- That's good.

What about the kids?

It's just a shot in the dark, that's all.

Well, thanks for getting Mike.

I had to take my dad

to Northwestern for a test...

so I was right there, anyway.

- Oh, is he okay?

- I think so. It was just a test.

Noreen!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

F***! What are you doing?

I was just... You turned into it.

I think you cracked the glass.

So do you have everything you need?

Yeah, we got everything.

We'll pare it down to three applicants

after we watch the tapes.

- We'll call if you're one, Dave.

- Okay, Mark.

It's nice to make your acquaintance.

- You, too. Take care.

- Hey, weatherman!

All right. Bye.

F***!

F***.

David?

Hey.

- What happened?

- I got hit with a Frosty.

- Why?

- What?

Why did you get hit with a Frosty?
