Kate & Leopold Page #5

Synopsis: Kate and her actor brother live in N.Y. in the 21st Century. Her ex-boyfriend, Stuart, lives above her apartment. Stuart finds a space near the Brooklyn Bridge where there is a gap in time. He goes back to the 19th Century and takes pictures of the place. Leopold -- a man living in the 1870s -- is puzzled by Stuart's tiny camera, follows him back through the gap, and they both ended up in the present day. Leopold is clueless about his new surroundings. He gets help and insight from Charlie who thinks that Leopold is an actor who is always in character. Leopold is a highly intelligent man and tries his best to learn and even improve the modern conveniences that he encounters.

I must confess

I feel as though we've met

on a previous occasion.

Well, Lionel, seeing as

I've never met a single

friend of Stuart's--

I'm not even sure

he's ever had any--

I really don't see

how that's possible.

Oh, man! Bart!

He just made Lake Erie

out there.

You just can't toss a dog

out into the hall like that.

You can't do that.

I assure you, I did not.

Let's go.

I beg your pardon?

Come on.

Let's go!

Bart...

Look, pal, I don't care

how many elevators you got.

This one's in my building.

Hang-hang on a second.

Sorry about the elevator,

Miss Kate.

I've got them

on the phone right now.

Hey, Gracy.

This is Lionel,

Stuart's friend.

How do you do?

Ten minutes?

I need someone here right now.

-Watch it, man.

-I beg your pardon.

Hey, what are

you doing?

You need to be going

that way.

There's an electron...

Hello?

Hello? There's

an electronics store. Hello?

I'm sorry, miss.

There's a patch of grass

across the street.

Take him there.

He'll do his business.

Can you give this

to Stuart, please?

It's his cable bill.

They haul our furniture

and cradle our children

but this morning, from

the Battery to the Bronx

elevators have mysteriously...

So sorry.

Stupid!

I do beg your pardon.

I beg your pardon.

Are you going

to remove that?

I beg your pardon?

Pick it up and put it

in the trash.

Absolutely not.

Maybe you don't understand.

It's against the law

to leave it there.

Are you suggesting, madam,

there exists a law

compelling gentlemen to lay hold

of canine bowel movements?

I'm suggesting you

pick the poop up

and throw it away now.

I refuse. Respectfully.

All right.

What's your name,

fancy pants?

Leopold...

Alexis Elija...

Walker Thomas Garrett

Mountbatten.

All right, Stuart.

Have a nice day.

I appreciate you putting in

a good word for me

I appreciate you putting in

a good word for me

but J.J.'s not back from London.

Right. Bye.

What's with the elevators?

It's happening

everywhere.

Darci.

Last page.

I'm sorry.

Did everyone live

happily ever after?

He lost his leg to gangrene

waiting for her on the island.

But they're together now.

Wonderful.

Oh, look, you got

your Palm Pilot back.

A nightmare.

Okay, so who do I owe?

Okay, Bobby at Hasbro.

Reeves at Crunch.

And the finals came in

for "Love for Sale."

The call with

the studio's at 4:00.

The margarine thing's in 15

in the conference room

and J.J. wants to talk

to you before that.

Oh, and one more thing.

I remember that you told me

to start thinking ahead

so I know your brother's

getting back

from his retreat tomorrow

and if you want something

in the fridge...

-Darci...

-Mm-hmm?

Can you tell me
