Old Dogs Page #3

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?

she's going to get one.

Whoa, um...

HAL?

I definitely think that the tan line

accentuates the look, don't you?

- Uh-huh. Sexy.

- Mmm.

I'm gonna start now.

Whoa!

One... Whoa!

Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.

Seven. Eight. Nine. OK!

Hello!

I'm finished!

Be there in a sec.

So, do you, like, really know Shaq?

- Whose numbers are those?

- Oh, my gosh.

We have a problem here!

- Shaq! Yeah, Charlie.

- It's not turning off!

- Tell him your name.

- Shaq? Hi, it's Kelly.

Anybody out there?

Do you remember me?

I went to one of your games.

Help!

Yeah. I don't know who

you were playing against, but...

I have an emergency here!

Help!

Just relax. Be there in a sec.

Help!

- A tanning emergency?

- Newbies.

Keep the heat kind of medium...

Throw a little bit of butter, and...

Westbound local

now arriving on track two.

Westbound local now arriving.

I'm from Hoboken.

What am I, the United Nations?

This is crazy.

Look, Mom,

it's an Oompa-Loompa.

I'm an Oompa-Loompa. I can't do this!

- Excuse me...

- Dan?

Vicki?

- Wow!

- Hey!

- I mean, hi!

- Hi.

Look at you! You're so tan.

Yeah. Yeah.

Boca. Volleyball, and...

Look at you. You're hot!

- Thanks, Tan.

- Dan.

- I mean, Dan.

- I'm Tan Dan.

I got us a table upstairs.

- Let's eat. Yeah.

- Shall we?

- Thank you.

- Oh!

I really don't know where to start, Dan.

But...

I need to share it with...

Stop... in the name of love.

Look, seven years ago,

we made magic happen.

But it was bad timing.

Now, we'll take it super slow,

there'll be no outside distractions.

Just us. I, um...

I'm ready to put these back together.

All I need is your half.

- I'm going to jail.

- What?

Tomorrow. Two weeks for trespassing.

- Why?

- A chemical company wanted

to build a plant that would've

drained into a stream near my house.

So I kind of chained myself

to a bulldozer

and burned the blueprints to the plant.

Look at you.

You're a political activist.

Well, I had ulterior motives.

- You're... Career politician?

- My kids.

Zach and Emily play near that stream.

Kids.

You know, I just never thought that...

You... you'd be attached. But...

Actually, I'm a single mom.

You kidder!

- Twins!

- Ouch!

Yeah. They think I'm going

to a spa named Westford Farms.

Whoops!

You remember my best friend,

Jenna, from South Beach.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, the hand model.

They're staying with her.

She's like family.

You got so much going on, girl.

It just blows my mind.

That's good, because there's

one other small detail.

- What is it?

- Daddy!

You guys weren't supposed

to be back for 45 minutes!

I'm... Da... Da...

Oh! Hey, look who's panicking again.

He does not look good.
