PARRISH:
Well, it worries me. I want you
to get swept away. I want you to
levitate. I want you to sing with
rapture and dance like a dervish.
SUSAN:
That's all?
PARRISH:
Be deliriously happy. Or at least
leave yourself open to be.
SUSAN:
'Be deliriously happy'. I'm going
to do my upmost --
He smiles.
PARRISH:
I know it's a cornball thing but
love is passion, obsession, someone
you can't live without. If you
don't start with that, what are you
going to end up with? I say fall
head over heels. Find someone you
can love like crazy and who'll love
you the same way back. And how do
you find him? Forget your head and
listen to your heart. I'm not
hearing any heart.
(a moment)
Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll
come back. Because, the truth is
there is no sense living your life
without this. To make the journey
and not fall deeply in love -- well,
you haven't lived a life at all.
You have to try. Because if you
haven't tried, you haven't lived.
SUSAN:
Bravo.
PARRISH:
Aw, you're tough.
SUSAN:
I'm sorry. But give it to me again.
The short version.
PARRISH:
Stay open. Who knows? Lightning
could strike.
Silence.
PARRISH (cont'd)
Forgive the lecture --
SUSAN:
I won't. And when I tell Drew about
it, he won't either.
PARRISH:
You won't tell him, and even if you
did, he'd clock it and punch it into
his laptop in order to pull out some
Commencement Speech at Wharton.
SUSAN:
You're terrible.
PARRISH:
I know. But I'm the only father
you've got.
She kisses him on the cheek.
SUSAN:
Thank God.
PARRISH:
He doesn't care. But thanks anyway.
EXT. 34TH STREET HELIPAD, NEW YORK CITY - DAY
The AStar lands, an attendant, waiting with a luggage cart,
rushes to open the door and unload the bags. The passengers,
Parrish paired with Quince, Drew with Susan, file off the
rooftop through a door which opens into an elevator.
INT. ELEVATOR, NEW YORK CITY - DAY
Parrish, Susan, Drew and Quince face forward as they ride
downwards.
QUINCE:
Hey, this is it, the hour approach-
es, I'm getting all excited. So
what do you think, is it --
(indicates Drew and
Parrish)
-- just the 'Executive Committee' or
could you guys use me?
DREW:
Quince, m'man, thanks for the offer,
but it's all set for just me and Bill.
QUINCE:
I know. Gum up the works.
Parrish is about to make some reassuring comment to Quince
when the Voice suddenly intrudes:
VOICE (V.O.)
'...I know, it's none of my
business.'
PARRISH:
What?
DREW:
I was saying to Quince we won't
need --
PARRISH:
Did you just hear something?
DREW:
Why yes, Bill, I was saying to
Quince --
