Two Weeks Notice Page #4

Synopsis: Harvard educated lawyer Lucy Kelson, following in the footsteps of her lawyer parents, uses her career for social activism. She hides any sense of femininity behind her work. George Wade is the suave public face of the Manhattan-based Wade Corporation, a development firm that Lucy routinely opposes and whose true head is George's profit-oriented brother, Howard Wade. George, who has a reputation as a lady's man, has had as his legal counsel a series of beautiful female lawyers with questionable credentials, they who have more primarily acted as his casual sex partners. Needing a real lawyer, he offers Lucy the job of his legal counsel on a chance meeting. Despite warnings from her parents in working for the "enemy", Lucy, who has no intention of being the latest in his bed partners, accepts the job as she feels she can do more good from the inside, and as George, as part of the job offer, promises not to demolish a community center in a heritage building as part of a development projec

Let's update all the files.

Especially the muni-codes

because I'll need those.

I'm gonna speak with Mr. Wade.

Mr. Wade, so sorry to bother.

I've been over the Environmental

Impact Reports for Island Towers.

- I would really love to talk to you.

- Very good.

I really wanted to ask you:

Which one of these do you prefer?

- How do you mean?

- It's for my new personalized stationery.

Is this a trick question?

They look exactly the same to me.

No, not at all. This is a linen finish

and this is a watermarked vellum finish.

Leaving aside the fact

that they've taken perfectly good forests...

...and denuded them in order

to produce this nonrecyclable paper...

...I would say it was...

Well, then this one. It tastes better.

Do you know, I've asked

You're the only one to come up

with that answer.

My God, you're good.

I'm getting you a bigger office.

No, it's very sweet,

but I'd rather go over the...

Very firm.

But is it too firm?

There's some debate among chiropractors

about the optimum level of mattress tension.

What are your thoughts?

If you really want to know,

the more firm the mattress...

...the more pressure on the 5th vertebra.

Quite bouncy, though. Have a bounce.

No.

- Hello.

- Yes, I'm glad you're up.

I didn't want to wake you.

I just felt like a chat.

George, it is 2:
15 in the morning.

Can't you talk to whatever

Mensa candidate you're with?

I resent the implication...

...that because someone

may not share your high IQ...

...they're not a person

of substance and depth.

- You all right?

- I swallowed my Altoid.

She swallowed her Altoid. That can happen.

A sudden hair flick, very dangerous.

Okay, George, I am tired.

Put her on the phone.

You mean, put her on the phone?

Put her on the phone!

All right. Someone for you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

The man you're dancing

with is deeply troubled, okay?

And even though he's rich

and attractive...

...you're too young to trade

yourself like a stock on NASDAQ...

...for someone who won't

remember your name...

...or his in the morning,

is still married...

...and has recently had

a very suspicious rash.

It is 2:
16.

Go home, finish high school

and reach your potential!

You all right?

I think I'm gonna go.

- What did you say to her? Nice chat?

- Yes.

That we have to talk about.

Now, do you think I should cry?

I was thinking bursts of sobs.

More of a whimper.

You're pathetic. Good night.

All right.

I'm sure he'll be here any minute.

Is there any more Diet Coke?

Sorry, everybody.

Did I miss the blessed event?

Check with me before you talk.

Now that we're all here, I'd like to discuss

the settlement terms.

The terms have been set.

It's called a prenup.
