Old Dogs Page #2

Synopsis: Charlie and Dan have been best friends and business partners for thirty years and their Manhattan public relations firm is on the verge of a huge business deal with a Japanese company. With two weeks to sew up the contract, Dan gets a surprise; a woman he married on a drunken impulse nearly nine years before (annulled the next day) shows up to tell him he's the father of her twins, now seven, and she'll be in jail for 14 days for a political protest. Dan volunteers to keep the tykes, although he's uptight and clueless. With Charlie's help is there any way they can be dad and uncle, meet the kids' expectations, and still land the account?

- This face is willing to hibernate

for six months to make the

best deal he could possibly make.

And I don't care who knows it. A toast

to my best buddy and business partner,

- Dan Rayburn! Whoo!

- Whoo!

Arigato!

It all comes down to this.

- I don't think so.

- Three, two, one.

This one's the shooter.

- Let's see it.

- Golden moment.

- Oh. Uh-oh!

- Oh, you're just sinkin' em.

Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh.

Let's hit it. There you go.

- It's a leaking dog.

- Yeah.

That's a... That's a neat trick.

How old is that dog?

I lost count. Vet said it was a record.

You might want to put

a diaper on him, or underwear.

- Yo.

- Hey. Where you been?

Japanese real estate agents.

Some apartments for Craig-san.

Thank you. I just want to find

something authentic.

I've been getting so immersed

in Japanese culture,

by the time I hit Tokyo, they're

going to think I'm part Japanese.

They'll be like, "Who is this local?"

I don't care if you stay on the top

of Mount Fuji. Just bring home the yen.

- This can't be.

- What do you got?

- Vicki.

- Vicki who?

South Beach Vicki? She's in town.

- She wants to see me. Today.

- She just called you out of the blue?

- No.

- Dan? Dan?

You know last Christmas

when I moved in to the condo?

I was feeling really lonely.

And maybe I wrote a seven-to-ten-page

single-spaced letter.

Oh, Dan.

You've been using your feelings

for this woman

to avoid your life for seven years.

I set you up in the most exclusive

adult-only condo.

You've never been to theme nights.

You never once went to the

Sunday morning schmooze and schmeer.

You know, maybe she hasn't

moved on either.

- Well, you can't do it.

- Why?

Because we're in the middle

of our biggest deal ever,

and you don't have the time.

She lives in Vermont. It's perfect.

Start of a long-distance relationship.

You get six to nine months

of the spa weekends,

late-night phone calls.

I'd still have my days free to work.

She wants to meet me

at Grand Central Station,

and I don't know what

I'm supposed to wear.

It's not formal, obviously,

it's a train station,

but do I wear a sport coat,

or coat and tie...

You can wear a sports coat,

but you're not going like that.

- Why?

- 'Cause you look like an albino.

This is his first time, so you can see

his complexion is ghost-like.

- What do you think of the El Tropical?

- Perfect beginner's tan.

- Oh, great.

- Yeah. Let's go!

- You all set?

- Oh, yeah.

- I'm ready. Alrighty, let's do this.

- Um... so...

Face forward, press the red button,

spray lasts ten seconds.

Keep your eyes closed and call me

on the intercom when you're done.

OK.

Eyes closed. She wanted a golden god,
