MAN'S VOICE (0.S.)
Mr. Norvik.
CAMERA PULLS BACK TO INCLUDE DOUG SNELL, a paunchy,
overbearing man, shaking Richard's hand.
DOUG:
Or, uhh, Richard? David Snell,
Merrill Lynch. I read about the
Cordex deal in Business Week.
Congratulations.
RICHARD:
Thank you, Doug.
DOUG:
Hi Peggy. How are you? How's
Char1ie?
INT. GYM
VIEWS ON Carol and Walter. They play a standoffish game, each
noticing the other, but pretending not to.
We HEAR and SEE bits of conversations:
SANDY:
(gleeful)
I can't believe how she let herself
go. She was so beautiful in high
school.
CAROL:
Everyone's got a gold Rolex. I had
this one specially made in
platinum.
Richard is standing with three men. They hang on his every
word. Beside them, a very DRUNK MAN overhears:
RICHARD:
...fifth generation core capacities
shake—out in the smaller companies.
DRUNK MAN:
(to Richard)
Your damn computers put me out of
business. You're a billionaire, and
I'm a goddamn failure.
Another man gently restrains the drunk and leads him away.
Richard is shaken.
NEW VIEW:
Carol and Peggy.
CAROL:
(chuckling)
Welcome to the singles scene.
PEGGY:
I don't know how you do it. I've
Charlie.
CAROL:
You just have to remember... men
are like houses and trade
upwards... I thought you had a
pretty good marriage.
PEGGY:
We did for a long time. We just got
married too young, and ended up
blaming each other for missing out
on things.
CAROL:
So he started having affairs, and
you got depressed.
Peggy nods.
CAROL (CONT'D.)
You should have left here years
ago, like I did.
PEGGY:
It's not the place. I don't buy
that.
(melodramatic)
Trapped in the same town forever.
The price she would pay for her
teenage lust.
CAROL:
After you got knocked up, my mother
didn't want me to talk to you. She
thought it was contagious.
PEGGY:
Oh, it's not so bad. I have two
wonderful kids, my own business.
(beat)
Still, knowing what I know now, if
I had the chance to do it all over
again, I'd sure do things a lot
differently.
CAROL:
Wouldn't we all.
INT. GYM OFFICE (ADJACENT TO GYM)
DOLORES DODGE is about to interview Maddy and Arthur; she
turns on the tape machine and holds up the microphone.
DOLORES:
Madeline Hutton and Arthur Nagle
were high school sweethearts.
Married right after graduation,
they're still together. In this day
and age, that's remarkable...
Maddy, Arthur, how does it feel to
have missed the sexual revolution?
MADDY:
(incensed)
What kind of question is that? It
has nothing to do with the reunion.
ARTHUR:
(thoughtfully — into mike)
I'm glad you asked, Dolores. Four
years ago Maddy and I found
Jesus...
DOLORES:
Spiritual renewal.. That's what
reunions are all about. Familiar
faces, forgotten memories, ancient
dance steps and music...the great
time machine.
