Weather Girl

Synopsis: Sylvia, approaching 35, is the "sassy weather girl" at a Seattle TV station. On a live broadcast, she castigates her boyfriend Dale (who's the show's anchorman) for sleeping with his co-anchor; then she quits. She'd been living with Dale, who explains himself by saying she's cold, so she moves in temporarily with her younger brother Walt. His neighbor Byron, a computer programmer, is always in Walt's flat working. While Sylvia looks for a job, Byron offers himself as a no-strings-attached rebound-sex partner, with the condition that she not tell Walt. How will she respond, and what about finding work, living with her brother, sorting things out with Dale, and being cold?

- Da, da - Da, da!

[Slow instrumental music]

- [Sniffling]

- One minute, people.

- I still have to do touch-ups

on Sylvia.

- What are you telling me for?

Where the hell is Sylvia?

- Hi, Iowa.

How now, brown cow.

- Hey, Dale?

- Yeah, yeah.

How's it going, Josh?

- It's okay.

It's okay.

Look, Dale,

Sylvia seems to be M.I.A.

- Well,

that's not very professional.

- No, no, it's not.

- Damn unprofessional,

if you ask me.

- And I agree.

Any idea where she may be?

- Now, how would I know that,

Josh, hmm?

I'm not my weather girl's

keeper, right?

Right?

- Yeah, it's just that

we're on in about 25 seconds,

And I know

you and she are close.

So if you have any idea

where she may be...

- Josh, my personal life

is my business.

Are we clear on that?

[Chuckles]

Are we?

- Sure.

Mary!

- I'm going now.

[Sighs]

Ms. Miller?

Um, Ms. Miller,

everybody's waiting,

And we're on in 20 seconds.

She's not answering.

I don't really--

I got her.

[Indistinct conversation]

- Jesus Christ, Sylvia.

- Not cool, Syl.

Not cool.

- All right, we got her.

- All right, ten seconds.

- Rolling at her.

[Theme music]

- This is Seattle Morning

With Dale Waters,

Sherry Warren,

And sassy weather girl

Sylvia Miller.

- Count it off.

- Five, four...

- three, two...

- [Laughs]

- [Giggles]

- Oh, what a great morning.

- Oh, not too shabby,

Dale.

- Good morning, Seattle.

And good morning to you,

Sherry.

- Good morning to you, Dale.

- You look great this morning,

Sherry.

- Oh, stop it.

You're making me blush.

- No, seriously.

- Oh.

- You look great, seriously.

Doesn't she look great?

- Come on, you.

- Let's say hello

to our sassy weather girl.

- Mmm.

- Good morning, Sylvia.

- Good morning, Sylvia.

- [Laughs sarcastically]

- Did we lose Sylvia?

- What?

What's going on?

- She's not talking.

- The rain is sure

coming down out there, Sylvia.

How long is it gonna

go on like this?

- Forever, Dale.

This is Seattle.

In case you haven't noticed,

The weather here sucks.

- [Chuckles]

- Well, I think

it's romantic, Dale.

- Go to camera three, please.

- ...A stroll in

the rain with your sweetheart.

- Oh, God, shut up.

Shut up, shut up,

you squeaky little b*tch.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We don't call her

"Our sassy weather girl"

for nothing, folks.

Let's go to a commercial.

- Okay.

- You know what, Dale?

Before we do that,

There is something

that I would like to share

With our viewing audience.

- Well, I don't think that's

such a great idea, Sylvia.

- I don't care what you think,

you arrogant prick.

In fact, why don't you just

sit there

And look stupid.

- [Laughs]

- Whatever you do,

do not cut.

Do not cut.

- So this is a little segment

that I like to call

"Behind the scenes

of Seattle Morning."

- Oh, my God.

- Many of you may not know,

But from the moment

that I started working here,

Our seemingly charming cohost

Dale Waters

Has been all over me

like a cheap suit.

Day after day,

As I stood in front

of this stupid map

Repeatedly trying

to find new adjectives

To describe the word "Rain"...

- what do I do?

- I've been fighting off

the infantile

And often offensive advances

of that guy.

That's right, ladies.

He's grabby.

- Go to Dale.

- But you know,

for a plethora of reasons,

Not the least of which being

I am 35, single,

And, um, yeah,

occasionally lonely,

I gave in to his advances.

And we had several, you know,

What could only be described

as disappointing encounters.

Sorry.

But despite the amateurish sex,

I somehow developed

an attachment

To the walking haircut

sitting in that chair.

We moved in together

And began to share a boring,

stagnant, passionless life.

- What the hell is she doing?

George, help me.

Cut the lighting!

- No, no, no, no.

Do not cut anything.

This is good tv.

- She has lost her mind.

- That is, until this morning,

When after Dale had already

left for the studio,

I found these.

They're not mine.

- You go, Sylvia.

There's our Emmy.

This is it.

- Now, these are

a pair of panties

That I've unfortunately

witnessed

My exhibitionist cohost wearing

on several occasions.

How long have you been

sleeping with him, Sherry?

- All right, number four

to Sherry, please.

- Ah, well put, Sherry.

Well, I am now leaving

this stupid, meaningless job,

But before I go,

I just want to say

to all of you out there,

For the love of God,

read a newspaper.

This is not news.

This is fluff.

This is tidbits for dumb people.

- [Chuckles]

- [Sighs]

On that note,

I will say good-bye

To Seattle Morning,

And I will see you all in hell.

- What has she done?

- Wow.

Let's do a commercial.

- Go to commercial.

- Go to commercial.

- [Sighs]

That was great.

That was great.

[Thunder crashes]

[Knock at door]

- [Sobbing]

- Hmm.

- Hey.

- I know you, right?

Wait, I know.

Aren't you that weather girl

Who committed career suicide

in a very unsightly way

Before an audience of thousands

this morning?

- Oh, God.

- Oh, sh*t.

Okay, come on.

Come on in.

It's okay.

Come on.

- Oh, oh, God.

What did you do in here?

It's--

- You want me to kick his ass?

- Yes.

- Really?

- No, it's--

Please, no, don't kick his ass.

- All right,

I don't think I could anyway.

You want a drink?

- It's 9:
00 in the morning.

Yes.

Oh.

God, oh, wait,

can I have a bloody mary?

- Yeah, let me whip that up
