Kate & Leopold Page #9

the crudeness of reality

would be unbearable.

We had a saying

in the McKay house:

"You shake and shake

the ketchup bottle.

None will come,

and then a lot'll."

What is that?

I beg your pardon?

Why are you standing?

I'm accustomed to stand

when a lady leaves the table.

Tell me, Charles

when Stuart and your

sister were engaged

did you happen to read

his papers on

the temporal universe?

I spent the morning perusing

them, and must confess...

Stuart and I were never engaged.

Not even close.

But I did read...

Thank you.

But I did read his papers

however, to show support.

Is Stuart still trying

to make a time machine?

That's the beauty of it--

he discovered

no machine was necessary.

All one had to do was

to develop

formulae to forecast portals--

natural windows

in the fabric of time.

Apparently,

Stuart located one

utilizing modern...

Ah!

Utilizing modern theories

of weather prediction.

What's a portal?

An opening which exists

for but a moment.

This explains why

one must jump through it

from a height--

in order to achieve

the required velocity.

The speed of gravity,

to be exact.

It's quite brilliant.

You are so method.

You don't even break

for a second, do you?

It's unbelievable!

Oh, stop it, please!

No more! Stop, please?

I beg you. I'm tired.

Can you go away?

Can you just go away?

Can you go away?

She's drunk, Leo.

Oh, shut up, Charlie!

And you, can you go upstairs?

Can you go away?

I am truly sorry if I have

offended you in any way.

Good night, Charles.

Good night, Charles.

Good night, Leo.

What the hell was that?

He thinks he's from

the 19th century, Charlie.

He thinks he's a duke.

I know.

Isn't that cool?

No.

Kate, he's in character.

He is an actor.

Oh, really?

For what show?

You know that just because

someone doesn't have

a paying gig

it doesn't mean they're not

working on their craft.

What's going on here?

I think there's something wrong

with his, uh...

-thing.

Give me that telephone.

No.

Give it to me.

No, I need to...

What do you expect me to do?

You took away my cell phone.

They're not allowed

on hospital property.

I have to make

a phone call!

You're not going

to make one now.

No, no, you don't understand.

This is a very important

phone call.

I have to leave

this hospital now.

I can't be here anymore.

Mr. Besser

I am tired

of telling you this.

You are not going nowhere

until Dr. Feinstein signs

your release!

Did you ever take any

earth science, Esther, hmm?

You look like

a smart woman.

Ever hear of the

time-space continuum?

Sounds important, doesn't it?

Well, it is.

And you want to know

something, Esther?

It's broken! Okay?
