Michael : Hey,
beautiful, it's so great to hear your voice. I miss you.
I've been calling you for over a month, you know...
Julianne : Well, I've been on a book tour.
Michael : I figured you were
out of town.
Julianne : No, I mean my
machine eats all my messages.
Michael : Or you're just averaging 30 days to return a
call.
Julianne : It's less when it's you.
Michael : Look, I have to ask you something. Something
incredibly important, that if you turn me down, I don't
know what I'll d...
Julianne : You know, if I could just tell you one
thing first. Well, this is, this is probably going to
hand you the biggest laugh
of your adult life . I'm sure. But I'm
thinking about you, and I was remembering this
unbelievably insane
night we spent in Tucson, like, I
don't know, a thousand years ago? And you probably won't
remember this. But...
Michael : Are you kidding? I think about that night
all the time.
Julianne : You do?
Michael : But it's not why I called
Julianne : It's not?
Michael : I called because I met someone.
Julianne : Well, that's great. That's great. Because
you haven't really seen anybody, have you? Since
dingbat
Jenny Lee.
Michael : You don't understand. I've never felt this
way about anybody! And she's all wrong for me!
Julianne : There is a good start.
Michael : No, no. I mean she's a junior at the
University of Chicago, she's 20. Her name's Kim. Jules.
you're gonna love her. She' s beautiful. And her dad is
this billionaire and he owns the White Sox and some
cable empire. You know I've always been uncomfortable
around rich people.
Julianne : Sure.
Michael : But they're not like that, they're such
wonderful people... really,
salt of the earth.
Julianne : So. You've met her parents.
Michael : Yeah. Jules, we're getting married this
Sunday. Hello. Hello.
Julianne : Michael, it's Wednesday night, how can you
possibly be getting married on Sunday?
Michael : Actually, it all starts tomorrow. It's one
of these four-day-weddings with all the traditional
events, and like ten million people flying in from all
over the world.
Julianne : Okay. Okay. But are you working this
weekend? I mean, is that responsible?
Michael : Well, the Sox are at home and Sports is
letting me do a profile on the Big Hurt. You know. Frank
Thomas... wait. What do you mean irresponsible? Taking
off a weekend to get married? Jules. I'm scared.
Julianne : Maybe we should talk about this.
Michael : I need you. If you can't come and hold my
hand, I'll never
get through this. Please come, please.
Julianne : Well.
Michael : Oh, man, I can't wait for you to meet her. |
