PARRISH:
Not my birthday again?
SUSAN:
You're only six-five once.
PARRISH:
Thank God. Now could we go? Let's
get this day started.
Drew ushers everybody on, first Parrish, then Susan and
Quince, Drew the last to climb on, shuts the door behind him
As Allison hurries away from the whirling rotors.
INT. ASTAR HELICOPTER - DAY
The configuration of seats has Drew beside Parrish, in front
of them Quince and Susan opposite each other in single seats.
Just as Drew removes color-coded folders from his attache
case and spreads them out for Parrish on his tray table, the
pilot waves to Drew, indicating 'phone call'. Drew gets up
and heads for the cockpit, Parrish scans the folders, glances
over at Susan who is making some notes on a file of her own.
He motions to her to please come sit beside him, she checks
that Drew is still busy in the cockpit, tucks her papers into
her carryall, and crosses over to Parrish who folds away the
work that Drew set before him into his tray table, locks it.
SUSAN:
I thought you were in a meeting--?
PARRISH:
I am. With you.
He peers up ahead at Drew, on the telephone and gesticulat-
ing intensely, right at home in the cockpit despite the CHOP
of the blades and the pilot pressed up against him.
PARRISH (cont'd)
Do you love Drew?
SUSAN:
...There's a start for a meeting.
PARRISH:
I know it's none of my business --
Susan doesn't answer for a moment, then impulsively kisses her
father on the cheek.
SUSAN:
No, it's none of your business.
Another moment.
PARRISH:
Do you love Drew?
SUSAN:
You mean like you loved Mom?
PARRISH:
Forget about me and Mom -- are you
going to marry him?
SUSAN:
Probably.
A moment.
PARRISH:
(smiles)
Don't get carried away.
SUSAN:
Uh oh --
PARRISH:
Susan, you're a hell of a woman.
You've got a great career, you're
beautiful --
SUSAN:
And I'm your daughter and no man
will ever be good enough for me.
PARRISH:
Well, I wasn't going to say that --
SUSAN:
What were you going to say?
PARRISH:
Listen, I'm crazy about the guy --
He's smart, he's aggressive, he
could carry Parrish Communications
into the 21st century and me along
with it.
SUSAN:
So what's wrong with that?
PARRISH:
That's for me. I'm talking about
you. It's not so much what you say
about Drew, it's what you don't say.
SUSAN:
You're not listening --
PARRISH:
Oh yes, I am. Not an ounce of
excitement, not a whisper of a
thrill, this relationship has all
the passion of a pair of titmice.
SUSAN:
Don't get dirty, Dad --
