Definitely, Maybe Page #3

Synopsis: Romantic comedy: Will Hayes, a 30-something Manhattan dad is in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya, starts to question him about his life before marriage. Maya wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in 1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work on the Clinton campaign. For Maya, Will relives his past as a idealistic young man learning the ins and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women. On the campaign, Will's best buddy is Russell McCormack. They not only have similar political aspirations, they share the same type of girl problems, too. Will hopelessly attempts a "PG" version of his story for his daughter ad changes the names so Maya has to guess who he finally married.

- You're Gareth.

- Hey, how are you?

- Nice to meet you. We're walking, Hayes.

I brought my C.V. and a sample of some

speeches I wrote for Congressman Sweeney.

Fantastic. I cannot wait to peruse these

in my abundant spare time.

In the meantime, here's a sample

of the coffee and bagel order

I'll need filled immediately.

Wait!

You want me to get coffee?

At some point in our lives, we all get coffee.

Your time's now. Come on.

We're still walking, Hayes.

Have the coffee here by 10:00,

or Arthur's gonna kill me!

That means I'm gonna have to kill you.

I've killed before, Hayes.

- You should know that.

- What is this?

That is a cellular telephone

so I can get a hold of you wherever,

whenever, for whatever.

- Can somebody get me an aspirin, please?

- Watch it!

Glad to have you aboard, Hayes!

- Hi.

- What? Hi.

Four weeks from now,

voters of New York State

will select their next Democratic nominee

for President.

Now, if Bill Clinton wins,

I want you to all understand

that it's gonna be as a direct result

of the commitment and the energy

of every person in this room.

And I mean that. That's just a fact.

Now, that's how important the work is.

That each and every one of you is...

What am I doing here?

It's the new guy.

- Hey.

- Hey, is that the toilet paper guy?

- Can I get a pack of Morley Red, please?

- 3.25.

in Madison, Wisconsin.

So go back to Madison.

- Don't forget to write.

- That's right. Don't forget to write.

Hold it! Stop. Stop right there!

You smoked?

No. Yeah.

But I didn't mean to tell you that.

Listen. I was young, and I was stupid,

and I haven't smoked in years.

I promise you.

Is there anything else you should tell me?

Probably not.

- Can I get 10 copies?

- Put them on the pile.

No, they're for Arthur.

I need them like, 15 minutes ago.

So if you wouldn't mind...

You're the toilet paper guy.

Wait. Who's that?

- That's April.

Yes. I am, in fact, the toilet paper guy,

but feel free to call me

the bagel-and-coffee guy.

Or Todd in Accounting calls me Crystal,

which I'm pretty sure is a girl's name.

- How many copies?

- Ten. Please.

- These?

- Yeah, both of those.

What made you become

a Bill Clinton supporter?

I'm not. This is a money gig.

I get paid 12 an hour,

which is better than babysitting, which is

what I've been doing way too much of.

You're a Democrat, right?

Why does everyone have to be

a Democrat or a Republican?

I'm struggling with the copy machine.

No, hold on.

You're an Independent, aren't you?

I am nothing.

Why am I obligated to be something?

Why do I have to have an opinion

about everything anyway?

I mean, really,

what do I know about missile systems
