Waiting for Forever Page #3

Synopsis: Since his parents died in a train crash, Will Donner refused to grow up and became an unemployed drifter, aimless except for one obsession: his undeclared love for neighborhood girl Emma Twist, whom he stalked at a distance throughout the country. When she, now an actress, returns to their home town for her terminally ill, grossly cynical father, Will stays with his unsympathetic, conventional brother Jim, whose wife and kid adore the free-spirited silly uncle, whom neighboring friend Joe and his family cheerfully put up. Now it's time to face Emma.

[Man]

Make that in fives and 10s, please.

- Thanks for calling me.

- Thank you so much.

Jimbo! Jimbo!

It's so good to see you, big brother.

Good seeing you.

[Man] What's up with that?

Look at this tie.

This is a beautiful tie.

- Look at you, huh?

- You look terrific.

Go. Get your bag.

What was that?

Wow.

High. The ceilings are so high.

- It's like a temple.

- Mm-hmm.

Leather.

Sorry.

Listen. You gotta call, pal. All right?

That's all there is to it.

Call? I didn't even know

until, like, four days ago.

So four days ago you call, okay?

You can't just come blowing into town

and start playing with my tie

in front of everybody.

Come on. You haven't seen

your little bro in a long time.

- Give the poor guy a smooch.

- A smooch.

Willie.

He really is very happy to see me.

- [Slaps Desk]

- Hey. Uh-uh. Don't.

No. Don't do that, all right?

Look at me.

Okay?

Cut that out right now, or we're gonna

have a very bad time here, my friend.

Do you hear me?

[Sighs]

So let me guess.

- Emma's back.

- Her dad's sick, so she came home.

You're still following her

all around like a puppy dog?

And you still haven't said

one word to her.

- [Phone Rings]

- Very good, Will.

[Woman On Intercom]

Jim Donner. Line three.

Jim Donner, mortgages. Could you please

hold on for one second? Thank you.

Kind of busy around here, Will.

Okay.

Um, I'm gonna go to Joey's.

Go to Joe's.

It was good to see you.

Yeah. Can I have the account number,

please?

...668?

- Thanks.

- [Door Closes]

[Door Chimes]

Bap-bap.

Dolores, baby. Get out here.

Up, up.

- What?

- It's Willie.

- Willie?

- Willie's here.

- Willie?

- [Laughing]

Willie!

- Hey.

- It's so good to see you!

You too.

- Oh!

- All right. Come here. Come here.

- Come here.

- Gosh!

[Laughing]

Welcome home, buddy.

You've gotta introduce me to this one.

Say hi.

- Hey, Gabe.

- Say hi to Willie.

[Imitating Clattering Toy]

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

[Door Opens]

Hi, Mom.

[Chuckling]

Oh. Oh, my baby.

My baby. My baby.

Oh, you're really here.

Look at you. Oh, my golly.

- You look so wondeful.

- Yeah?

Oh, your eyes. No. Really.

They are so clear and bright.

- Are they?

- Yeah. They are, honey. They really are.

You look so- mmm- happy.

I do? You- You do too.

- Yeah.

- Yeah. You do too.

Oh.

I missed you.

Missed you so much.

So much.

Daddy's fine. You'll see. Come on.

Oh, I'm so sorry

that Aaron couldn't come.

Oh-

- Are you hungry?

- Uh, no, I just want to see Daddy.

Oh. Well,

he wants to see you too, sweetheart.

- So much. So much.

- How is he?

Oh, you know,

the doctors say all kinds of things.

One says kidneys.

Another says the... liver.
