Happythankyoumoreplease Page #5

Synopsis: Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends-Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

(sighs)

What are you so afraid of?

I'm afraid my brain

is going to melt.

I'm afraid we will never

walk anywhere ever again.

I'm afraid we won't care

about things anymore

except opening

weekend grosses

and Pilates classes.

Yeah, but you know they'd be,

like, the best Pilates classes.

There's no art there.

- That's ridiculous.

- They have no culture.

New York has everything...

the best restaurants,

best theater, museums...

Right, and how many museums

do you go to in an average week?

- I'm just curious.

- That is not the point.

- Yes, that is the point.

- Not the point.

I mean, what good is paying

out the nose to live here

if we never

take advantage of it?

We might as well live somewhere else

and just visit every once in a while

and actually do things.

You know, hit the Met,

take in a Broadway show,

Carnegie Deli.

"Wow, that's a really big sandwich.

- I don't know if I can eat all that."

- I love New York.

You're miserable more than not.

Yes, but that is not

New York's fault.

New York is...

Charlie:
What?

...home.

You're asking me to leave home.

You know this is my job,

don't you?

I have to sit here and write things.

It's... it's not easy

with you staring at me.

Sorry I don't have a television.

What's your thing?

What do you like?

You like art, huh?

You like to draw?

Really?

Here, draw yourself a television.

(folk rock music playing)

#So I have under two minutes

to sing you this song #

#It's quite the challenge actually

because I've loved you so long #

#And I know I'm always writing

so you think I'm good with words #

#But I can hardly express

how I feel #

#'Cause words aren't why

love is real #

#And I don't know why

I love you, I just do #

#There was a message in a bottle

at the bottom of the sea #

#Somebody mistook rock

for paper accidenta-dentally #

#So their letter never made it

to the lover they adore #

#I had to fish it

from the ocean floor #

#And I know you won't believe me,

but I swear to God it's true #

#The letter said "I love you,

but I don't know why I do" #

#That's exactly when it hit me,

that's exactly how I feel #

#'Cause though

my love is real... #

Sam:

Amazing, right?

Annie:
Are you sure

you don't like these

just because they're

a lot of pictures of you?

No.

But I do look

incredibly handsome

in this one.

Look at me.

I'm like a dashing

Russian aristocrat.

Annie:
Oh.

Annie:
What do you think

was going on?

I don't know.

Something bad.

He says he won't go back.

Well, he's supercute.

I say we keep him.

I'm kidding.

We can't keep him.

- Sam, don't keep him.

- I'm not keeping him.

Calm down.

Sorry about the ball.

It's all I got.
