The Odd Couple II Page #2

Synopsis: It has been seventeen years now since Oscar and Felix saw each other for the last time. Oscar is living in Florida, Felix in New York. One day, Oscar is called by his son Brucey who invites him to his wedding to Felix' daughter Hannah next Sunday in California. Oscar and Felix meet again at Los Angeles International Airport and take a rental car in order to go to San Malina for the wedding. The trip develops into an odyssey, starting with Oscar forgetting Felix' suitcase at the Budget station, going over to the complete loss of the directions (and the car), several difficulties with the police, a dead person, a toupee, underwear and revenge-hungry Cowboys and ending up with Felix meeting the "one and only" woman. But the wedding has to be reached on time.

I'm nervous because my daughter is

getting married on Sunday in California.

In San...

- Well, I've got a friend picking me up.

- How nice.

Are you all right? Your face

is turning blue. Do you need oxygen?

Yeah, but you never know

who's been using that before.

Stewardess!

Excuse me.

I see my bag. Excuse me.

What happened here?

What do you call this?

This is mishandling of luggage!

It's a federal misdemeanour.

Did you see this?

Oscar?

Felix?

Oscar!

Felix!

Look out!

We haven't even said hello

and I've got a broken leg.

It's just a sprain. Hello, Felix.

- Let me know when you gonna hit a bump.

- OK, that was a bump.

Here we go, we're all set.

Maybe we could stop

and get a pair of crutches some place.

I'll keep my eye open

for a crutch store.

I'm sure there's a lot of them

on the freeway.

Hold on to me

and let's hop over to the car.

That's it.

Now you've got it.

Bend down and slide into the seat.

You know what I mean?

- Tell me when it hurts.

- That hurts.

I've got a good idea.

Don't tell me when it hurts,

it's gonna hurt anyway.

When I count to three, we'll do it all

in one big move. One, two, three!

- Oh, God!

- I like '"it hurts'" better.

Got you some ice from the machine.

It'll keep the swelling down.

I need something to put the ice in.

Put it in your sock!

What am I, an orthopaedic?

- Foot feeling any better?

- It's a piece of frozen meat.

Hang it out the window, it's warm out.

I'm starving.

I haven't eaten since last night.

- Didn't they serve on the plane?

- No, my fish was flying east.

Here's my complimentary nuts.

Go ahead.

If your teeth keep chattering,

you'll have peanut butter in three minutes.

Do you know

what the fat content of nuts is?

Not to mention the salt content.

I could have a heart attack at the wedding.

- I haven't seen you in eight, nine years.

- 17 years.

You couldn't even remember that we

haven't seen each other for 17 years?

I didn't dwell on it.

So your hair got whiter, your ears

got bigger, your nose got longer...

but you still retain that unique, elusive,

pain in the ass quality

that drives me berserk.

Well you have changed.

When I saw you at the airport,

I thought you'd died

and your mother came to tell me.

- I heard that line on the Seinfeld show.

- It's how fast I thought of it that counts.

Open the window.

I want to throw the water out.

It is open.

Sorry, they must have just cleaned it.

Feeling better now? What's the matter?

Did you sprain your tongue too?

I'm angry at myself.

I shouldn't have yelled at you.

We've always had bad chemistry.

We mix like oil and frozen yoghurt.

- But I'm glad to see you anyway.

Neil Simon

Marvin Neil Simon (born July 4, 1927) credited as Neil Simon, is an American playwright, screenwriter and author. He wrote more than 30 plays and nearly the same number of movie screenplays, mostly adaptations of his plays. He has received more combined Oscar and Tony nominations than any other writer.Simon grew up in New York City during the Great Depression, with his parents' financial hardships affecting their marriage, giving him a mostly unhappy and unstable childhood. He often took refuge in movie theaters where he enjoyed watching the early comedians like Charlie Chaplin. After a few years in the Army Air Force Reserve, and after graduating from high school, he began writing comedy scripts for radio and some popular early television shows. Among them were Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows from 1950 (where he worked alongside other young writers including Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks and Selma Diamond), and The Phil Silvers Show, which ran from 1955 to 1959. He began writing his own plays beginning with Come Blow Your Horn (1961), which took him three years to complete and ran for 678 performances on Broadway. It was followed by two more successful plays, Barefoot in the Park (1963) and The Odd Couple (1965), for which he won a Tony Award. It made him a national celebrity and "the hottest new playwright on Broadway." During the 1960s to 1980s, he wrote both original screenplays and stage plays, with some films actually based on his plays. His style ranged from romantic comedy to farce to more serious dramatic comedy. Overall, he has garnered 17 Tony nominations and won three. During one season, he had four successful plays running on Broadway at the same time, and in 1983 became the only living playwright to have a New York theatre, the Neil Simon Theatre, named in his honor. more…
