The Odd Couple II Page #3

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.

- Me too, Oz.

- I was some kind of nut in those days.

- From pecan to pistachio.

I guess I still am.

I hate mess and I hate disorder.

I went to a hypnotist to try to cure me.

- It didn't work, right?

- No.

He was late.

I straightened up his office and left.

You better pull off the freeway.

I got to pee.

How are you doing, kid?

Are you the waiter?

What do you want?

- $5.

- Why should I give you $5?

Your friend said you would for telling

you he's locked in the bathroom.

Why did you tell him five bucks?

He would have done it for a quarter.

What freeway are

we supposed to be on?

- The 405.

- I think that sign back there said 101.

If you didn't have the brains

to pee back at the airport,

how do you know what the sign said?

Reading and peeing

are two different things.

At your age you're lucky

you can do either one.

Is your daughter like you? She's not going

to clean up after the reception, is she?

My daughter is wonderful,

and your son is damn lucky to get her.

- Let me tell you something else.

- Don't. That's why I moved to Florida.

We keep this up,

I'll be living in Guatemala.

That's fine by me.

Are you retired now?

Me? Never! I'm doing part-time

charity work at the hospital.

- You mean bed pans and stuff like that?

- No.

I read to them. I read them stories,

write letters for them, tell them jokes.

It's good for me too, you know.

After my last wife...

You've probably heard about that.

Sorry to hear that.

I heard she went quickly.

Moved out while I was asleep.

Never even left a note.

Is that three divorces now?

Three divorces,

two broken engagements,

and five women who disappeared

on the first date.

Went to the ladies' room,

never came back.

You just had some bad luck

with your personality.

I haven't given up.

Somewhere out there,

I know there is a right woman for me.

- Should I stop the car and look?

- No, but pull over, I got to eat.

I have this low sugar condition,

I have to eat every four hours.

Why didn't you eat

when we stopped at El Pollo Loco?

Because it wasn't time to eat,

it was time to pee.

Make out a timetable,

when you're going to eat, pee,

fart, cry and sleep.

That's the last time I pull off the freeway.

I suppose you never have to pee?

I do it for half hour in the morning

and then I'm through for the day.

What have you got there?

What are you doing?

How do you know which ones to take?

Doesn't make any difference.

Whatever they fix, I've got.

- Don't you take them with water?

- With the local water?

Water from around here?

Don't you know how many pesticides

they have in the local water?

Lower your voice, people in here

don't know they'll be dead in a week.

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…
