Beth: I have a confession to make.
Jeffrey: A confession? Ooh. To da-- we
love that sort of thing.
Beth: When you said that you were going
to take me to a movie, I assumed that we'd see, well, you know...
Jeffrey: What, a "guy" movie?
Beth: Fast cars, something with
"ah-nold." (Laughs) obscure French art house was not what i had in
mind. I mean, a movie with subtitles...
Jeffrey: I know it's always a pain to
read those sometimes.
Beth: No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not
that. It's just... I kept getting what was going on five seconds after you. You
speak French.
Jeffrey: Well, you know, i guess I've
always had an ear for languages.
Beth: More than one?
Jeffrey: Oh, yeah. Seven, if you
include Urdu. That was just a joke. I speak some French, some Spanish, you know,
Italian; things you would learn in school or traveling, you know.
Chotto matte kudasai. Oh, and did I mention
Japanese?
_____________________________________________________
Danny: What? Is there a problem?
Nico: Well, I’ve never been inside
before. They normally have a table reserved for me out in the alley. You know, I
think I've sampled everything on the menu from the garbage. Yeah. I did get
caught once.
Danny: Really? What happened?
Nico: All I felt was the barrel of a
shotgun in the back of my head. It's kind of embarrassing when you're leaning
over the trash trying to get some grub. The guy pumps the action, tells me to
split or he's going to have me thrown in jail. So I ran. I think I was having
part of a buzz burger that night.
Danny: So, what? You want to go eat
somewhere else? I
Nico: A crime boss who can't even tell
when someone's lying? (Snickers) hey, man, you may not be dirty after all.
__________________________________________________________________
Josh: Hey, son, it's me. I'm at company
now, and I was thinking you might want to come by here early so we could talk a
little strategy, you know-- figure out what you want to say to this guy exactly.
So when you get this message, call me, or better yet, just come straight here
because you know I’m excited. Something major is going to happen tonight; I
can feel it. (Music playing)
__________________________________________________________________
Marina: You know there's nothing I like
better in the world than hanging out with you.
Shayne: Me, too. Turn it back up.
Marina: Last chance. Are you sure, are
you absolutely 100% positive that you don't want to turn this car around right
now and go back and meet the cub’s exec? I mean, we're talking about the
Chicago cubs here.
Shayne: It's fine. Look, I've got it
all timed out. We're going to check out part of the concert, and we're going to
be back at company before that guy even gets there. Look, my whole future
depends on this one meeting. You don't think I'd miss it, do you?
...'Cause I’m scared
We’re on our way yeah
It’s too late to take back
What I’m feeling...
_________________________________________________________________
Christopher: You seem anxious. Not
because of me, I hope.
Reva: No. Come in, Christopher. My son
has a meeting with a baseball executive from the cubs tonight and, well, it's a
big deal, and big deals and kids equal anxiety. I told him to follow his heart.
His heart told him to go to a concert with his girlfriend first.
Christopher: Before the big meeting?
Reva: Well, yeah. He's cutting it
close, but you know, this is boring mother stuff.
Christopher: Well, your son is
embarking on a significant journey. You must be proud.
Reva: Are we small talking?
Christopher: Yes.
Reva: Care to stop?
Christopher: I'll follow your lead.
Reva: You made a remark to me, and it
made me feel like maybe you was getting a little carried away. I mean, it's one
thing to use the gift i have, or the instincts that i have to help the police
find a missing girl. But to change the world?
Christopher: Okay, cards on the table,
reva. Ever since my wife died, i have spent every waking moment researching,
experimenting, testing, and looking... Looking for somebody like you, somebody
with the power to change everything. You are that person, reva.
______________________________________________________________
Danny: You couldn't sit at the house
with a beer?
Tony: I guess not.
Danny: How many is that?
Tony: I lost track.
Danny: Hum. Did you notice josh Lewis
sitting over there? This is not the kind of image we're trying to create.
Tony: Would you keep your skirt on,
miss manners? I told Mr. Lewis I don't handle the business part of Fifth Street
anymore.
Waitress: Here you go, guys.
Tony: Ah, gracias.
Nico: Thanks.
Danny: Thank you. All right, I’m
going to go talk to josh and make sure no damage was done.
__________________________________________________________________
Tony: Oh. Good, Danny. You go make
nice, okay?
Nico: Drink much?
Tony: It's a special time in my life,
and I don't want to remember any of it.
Nico: So, you and the boss don't get
along?
Tony: The boss?
Nico: Yeah. Danny's the don, right? Or
ex-don... Whatever he wants to call himself. You're the lieutenant; you follow
orders, part of the crew.
Tony: Is there any reason that you're
taking up air in this place?
Nico: No.
Tony: Then shut your mouth. Danny walks
around like he's some yuppie business guy, but you know what? He's still Carmen
Santos' son. He just figured a way to go underground.
Tony: Listen, Danny’s legit.
Nico: Right. Hey, man, at least you
don't try to pretend to be something you're not.
Tony: And what am I?
_________________________________________________________________
Josh: Did you get the call from my
foreman?
Danny: Yeah, I did.
Josh: Good.
Danny: I did. He's great.
Josh: Yeah.
Danny: Josh, I really appreciate
everything that you're doing.
Josh: Well, it's good business, and you
know, truth be told, I very much believe in what you're doing, you know.
Danny: Great. Sorry, am I keeping you
from something?
Josh: No, not at all. I apologize. It's
just that Shayne has a meeting tonight with one of the big executives from the
ball club, you know? From the cubs.
Danny: The cubs?
Josh: Yeah.
Danny: Hey, all right.
Josh: And he's not really late...
Danny: Congratulations.
Josh: Thank you. He's not late, but
he's not... It's not like he's early, either, and I just wanted to go over some
things with him.
Danny: That's fantastic. Wow, that's
great. If i can do half the job with Robbie that you've done with Shayne...
Josh: Yeah. (Laughs)
Danny: That's great.
Josh: You're just trying to get some
free labor out of something, or me aren't you?
Danny: No, no. (Laughter) (cell phone
rings) it's Michelle, I’ve got to take this.
Josh: (Laughs) okay. Oh.
______________________________________________________________
Walker: Excuse me. Josh Lewis?
Josh: Yeah.
Walker: John walker, Chicago cubs.
Josh: Hey, how are you? Boy, it's good
to meet you.
Walker: Very good to meet you.
Josh: Yeah. And thank you so much for
coming by to see my son. That's just... That's great.
Walker: Your boy was throwing 95 as a
senior. We've been watching him a while. He's a fine rook.
Josh: Yeah.
Walker: So, where is our star prospect?
Josh: Um... (Laughs) why don't you...
You know, you should sit down. The best burgers in town are right here in this
restaurant, and I'm sure Shayne will be here any minute.
Walker: Great. That sounds good.
______________________________________________________________
Shayne: You know, we really should have
left home a lot... A lot earlier.
Marina: You think?
Shayne: Here. Hop in the driver's seat
for a second, okay?
Marina: Okay. Wait, what?
Shayne: I'll be right back. (Horns
honking)
Shayne: For you.
Marina: Oh, my gosh. You are the best.
Shayne: Anybody can buy a t- shirt from
a vendor. I would be the best if I could figure out a way to get us into the
parking lot a little bit quicker.
Marina: Don't worry. I don't think
we're that far from the gate.
______________________________________________________________
Christopher: Reva, I've seen hundreds
of people with psychic ability, but never anybody like you. Your talent is raw,
but your potential is unlimited.
Reva: Fate. Fate is a limitation.
Christopher: Fate is a malleable
property, just like everything else in the universe.
Reva: I don't believe that. Fate is
beyond us. It's supposed to be. Fate is what brought josh and me together. Fate
has altered my life so many times, but it's also saved it. It just doesn't seem
right to predict the future and then change it.
Christopher: But you can be a part of
fate. I mean, who's to say that you can't stop somebody from being in the wrong
place at the wrong time? And is it wrong if people are spared tremendous tragedy
and loss?
Reva: I'm sorry about what happened to
your wife, but you're talking about violating the laws of powers that we can't
even conceive.
Christopher: What if it was someone in
your family? Wouldn't you want to do everything in your power to save them?
_______________________________________________________________
Beth: This all looks
Beth: This all looks wonderful.
Jeffrey: Deza-towa naniga Aluno?
Waitress: That depends on what you want
tonight, Mr. O’Neill.
Jeffrey: Naniga osusume?
Waitress: Privacy?
Jeffrey: Domo arigato.
Beth: I guess you must come here quite
a bit.
Jeffrey: It's a sanctuary. It's so
peaceful, you know. It's very discreet. I've really never brought anyone here
before. You are the first person.
Kamahi. So, what were you expecting? Hot dogs
outside the courthouse?
Beth: Let's just say I dressed for
every possible ambiguity. Would he be the jerk everyone says he is?
Jeffrey: Right, which would mean
nothing too low-cut because you wouldn’t want to give him the wrong idea?
Beth: Or would Jeffrey be someone I
might enjoy getting to know. People in this town do like to talk.
Jeffrey: Oh, really? I would have never
guessed.
Beth: You have a miserable reputation.
Jeffrey: I haven't given a damn what
anyone thinks or says about me, especially in this town. That is, until tonight.
Beth: And why do I deserve the honor?
Jeffrey: Because, Beth, you're
exquisite. You're beautiful. I love your mind. I love your manner. So tell me--
I need a laugh-- what are they saying about me?
Beth: "They?" They, who?
Jeffrey: You know, "they."
The amorphous "they." He or she who are always saying something about
someone. Let me guess: He's rude, he's arrogant, he's abrasive, and he’s
abusive. Jump in any time you like.
Beth: Egotistical, mean- spirited,
detests small children.
Jeffrey: See, I forgot those. I do not
detest small children, Beth. I may be... Well, I may not be dr. Spock, but it's
not the children I’ve got a problem with. It's the parents.
Beth: Including me?
Jeffrey: You're doing the best you can
with Lizzie, i know.
Beth: I almost didn't come tonight.
Lizzie's world... My world is in complete upheaval right now and I was afraid
that you might be like throwing a can of gasoline on the fire that is my life.
But you're not who you seem to be.
Jeffrey: Who am I?
Beth: I don't know. But apparently, you
are charming, attentive, and multilingual. Or are you just trying to loosen me
up with sake and smooth talk?
Jeffrey: Well, why don't we save some
of the mystery for the next date?
Beth: And who says you'll get another
chance?
___________________________________________________________
Tony: Listen to me, Nico. You don't
want to be like me. If you want to learn from somebody, you watch Danny.
Nico: Danny? Danny's fronting. Come on,
Tony. Like he's not totally fake?
Tony: Danny has a great wife, a great
kid, and people in this town are starting to see him in a different light. It's
a good life. He's happy.
Nico: And you're not? You're on your
own. You don't have anybody to tie you down, and people respect you. Look, man,
I want that same thing when I go back to the streets. The way those two dealers
looked at you that night? Oh, man, they were terrified.
Danny: You were there?
Nico: I'm not going to say nothing.
Danny: That would be appreciated.
Tony: I'm going to go for a walk.
Danny: Grab some coffee while you're at
it.
Tony: This is I ignoring you, Danny.
Nico: Later, Tony.
_______________________________________________________
Josh: That's his voice mail. Listen,
how's this? Why don't you come on over to our house, have a cup of coffee?
Walker: Look, I’ve got a few more
meetings before I leave town. Maybe a couple of hours.
Josh: Okay.
Walker: You've got my number.
Josh: Yeah.
Walker: When Shayne comes, call me.
Josh: Right I’ll do that. Thank you.
______________________________________________________
Marina: We're not going to make it, are
we?
Shayne: I'm really starting to worry
about it at this point. I mean, once we park, we still have to go through
security check. Oh, man. The music... They're already playing the music. They're
already starting.
Marina: Shayne, Shayne, Shayne. Look at
me. Turn the car around. We're going home.
Shayne: No. Marina, I promised you I
was going to take you here, and I am not going to break my promise to you.
Marina: Okay, and you did take me, and
I have the t-shirt to prove it. I can lie to everyone and say I saw the whole
thing. Now turn the car around. Let's go.
Shayne: Marina...
Marina: Shayne, what if you miss that
meeting?
___________________________________________________
Josh: Is Shayne here?
Reva: No. What's wrong?
Josh: Terrific. The executive from the
cubs is here. He's in Springfield right now, and Shayne missed his meeting with
him. Now, if we don't find Shayne soon and get him back to the house, his whole
career could be on the line.
Reva: He'll be back.
Josh: Reva, we don't even know where he
is right now. Wait a minute, wait a minute. When you say that, is that some kind
of intuition thing, or is there a fact thing that I don't know anything about?
Reva: He went to a concert with marina.
He was going to catch the first couple of acts and then be back here in time for
the meeting.
Josh: You knew about this and you
didn't say anything to me?
Reva: Oh, you know what? Let's not even
get into who's telling what to whom.
Josh: Reva, this is not a game. Why in
the hell would you even let him do something like that?
Christopher: I'm going to give you two
some privacy. I'll go make a call.
Josh: Reva, you knew how important this
meeting could be to shayne's career.
Reva: What was I supposed to do,
Joshua?
Josh: You're his mother, you could have
said no.
Reva: Or let him make some of his own
decisions for his own life. Look, he's going to be leaving marina soon, and you
have to admit she's been the one constant in his life for months. They've been
taking care of each other. I felt like they deserved the responsibility.
Josh: Deserved? Reva, we're not talking
about a pair of star-crossed lovers here who are being kept apart from each
other. We're talking about a couple of kids going to a jam fest.
Reva: Shayne had a plan.
Josh: Really? Did his plan include
being disrespectful to an executive from the cubs? Reva, did his plan include
potentially throwing his career away?
Reva: His career? He just graduated
from high school.
Josh: Reva, we're talking about
responsibility here. Shayne has got to start working on his reputation in this
area. I mean, this is a big guy who's come to see him, and he's not even
answering his cell phone, reva.
Reva: Has the executive left town?
Josh: No, he hasn't. He's agreed to
stay for a couple of hours, maybe. But I gave him my personal assurance that
Shayne would show up, so if Shayne doesn't, he's going to look like an amateur.
He's going to look he's not ready for the majors.
Reva: Well, maybe he isn’t.
Josh: Isn't that what it's all about,
reva? I mean, come on. He's in this thing... He's not in it because he wants to
ride around on the bus and play in the minor leagues. You know, if I didn't know
it better, I would think that you were trying to...
Reva: Trying to what?
Josh: I don't know.
Reva: What? Sabotage my own son?
Josh: I didn't say that.
Reva: Then what are you saying?
Josh: I'm saying it would be nice if we
were working towards the same goal in this situation.
Reva: As long as it's your standards.
Am I right?
Josh: Reva, I love you with all my
heart and soul, but that ship has sailed. You can keep throwing that contract
situation with Shayne up in my face for the rest of our lives. The fact is, i
did it, he made it, and now he has to start working on being the man he has the
potential to be.
Reva: Where are you going?
Josh: I'm going to drag him out of that
concert myself.
Reva: Joshua!
____________________________________________________________
Marina: Let's just think about this
here. By the time we go through security, park the car, get inside, we're going
to have time to see, what? Like, maybe five minutes of the show?
Shayne: Marina...
Marina: And they're not going to be a
very pleasant five minutes, either. They're going to be the most miserable five
minutes of both of our lives because we're going to be freaking out about you
missing that meeting with Mr. Walker.
Shayne: But we don't have that much
time left to spend with each other.
Marina: Well, okay. So let's make every
minute of it count, starting with the drive back home. Now, you're still my
favorite guy in the entire world. Can we bail now?
Shayne: Are you sure?
Marina: Shayne. Okay, I'll tell you
what. If this meeting goes the way that we both hope it will, I’m going to let
you hire any band you want to play in your backyard for my birthday. How's that?
Shayne: You know you're the best thing
that ever happened to me, right.
Marina: I thought the best thing that
ever happened to you was learning how to throw an off-speed pitch down low.
Shayne: You're still better.
Marina: Yeah, I know. Come on, let's
go.
__________________________________________________________
Bartender: Three little Indians.
Tony: Do they have any friends?
Bartender: That's enough for now, all
right?
Tony: I'll tell you when it's enough.
Thank you. A brawler. Thug life, that's me. Want to be me, Nico? my life is
freaking great. (Woman laughs) Marah? Don't get up. Don't do anything. She
doesn't need you and you don't need her. Oh, damn, you've got to be freaking
kidding me. Marah, what are you doing?
Woman: Excuse me?
Tony: I'm sorry. I just... I thought
that you look like... Just forget it. Whoa. What's your problem?
Man #1: That's my fiancée, you idiot.
Tony: You know, all right, maybe you
didn't hear me. I said I was sorry. My mistake. What are you going to do about
it, anyway?
Man #2: Teach you a lesson.
Tony: That's an original line right
there. All right, you want to bring it? Then bring it.
__________________________________________________________
Marina: When did it get so foggy?
Shayne: I don't know, but it'll be
fine. Did my dad call?
Marina: Yeah. Hang on I’m listening.
The exec's already at company. Yeah, your dad sounded pretty anxious.
Shayne: He's probably bugging out right
now.
Marina: More like going ballistic. I
mean, he sounded like he was trying to be nice, you know, but he had that whole
parental "you're busted big-time" thing going on. The exec's flight
leaves in a couple of hours.
Shayne: Okay, good, good. So i still
have time. You know, I swear this meeting and my whole baseball life, it's more
important to my dad than me.
Marina: Oh, look, he just wants what's
best for you. He doesn't want you to blow it.
Shayne: His number is speed dial five.
Can you call him and tell him that we're on our way?
Marina: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Oh, you
have me on speed dial one.
Shayne: Of course.
Marina: That is so sweet. It went right
to his voice mail. Here.
Shayne: Hey, dad, i know you're
worried, but listen, we skipped the concert. We're on our way home, okay, so
just stall Mr. Walker. We'll be back soon. I promise. Everything's going to be
fine, okay, dad? Just pray for no traffic.
__________________________________________________________
Tony: You know, even if you take me
down, I'm going to take at least one of you to the hospital with me.
Man #1: Hum. That's funny.
Tony: I'll take maybe even all of you.
Man #2: I doubt that.
Tony: Talk, talk, and talk.
Bill: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm
down. Calm down. Calm down.
Man #1: Get your friend out of here.
Bill: Relax! Relax, man. Stay here and
let me handle this so you don't stay a night in jail.
_________________________________________________________
Jeffrey: The tea ceremony, or sado, is
very important in Japanese culture. It symbolizes everything from the first
cherry blossom of spring to the dawning of a new day. It means a new beginning,
a new chapter in someone's life.
Beth: I'm about due for one of those.
Jeffrey: The ritual of the tea pouring
embodies four principles: Harmony, respect for others, purity of heart and mind,
and tranquility.
Beth: Thank you.
Jeffrey: Did you notice the low
entrance? That's so that the guests have to bow when they enter. It's a symbolic
gesture of humility.
Beth: Let me guess: You're still
working on that one. (Laughs)
Jeffrey: Okay, yeah. It's not my first
reaction to most things, but i am working on it. But the room, it's very simple
for a reason. It symbolizes a break with the outside world. It allows one to
clarify the senses and to let go of all the stresses and concerns of everyday
life, if only for a moment.
Beth: That does sound like heaven to
me.
Jeffrey: Well, let me see what i can
do. Close your eyes.
Beth: Can I trust you?
Jeffrey: Well, we'll soon find out.
Close your eyes. All right, now, what do you hear?
Beth: I hear water from the fountain.
Jeffrey: Good.
Beth: I smell a flower.
Jeffrey: That's right. Just one. One
flower, not a bouquet. And to appreciate the uniqueness of one special blossom
is to be able to admire and be seduced by its beauty, its spirit, and its grace.
Beth: I feel you. You're like a vision
to me right now.
Jeffrey: But I'm very real.
Jeffrey: Kim WA
haru ichiban no sakura no yoni utsukushii.
Beth: Is that a line?
Jeffrey: To which you respond,
omawarisan, chikan o tsukamaete.
Beth: What does that mean? "Yes,
I'll go to bed with you?"
Jeffrey: No, that means, "police,
and arrest this pervert now."
Beth: (Laughs)
Jeffrey: I really... I really want to
be with you, but if you're not ready, I can wait.
Beth: Being with you is like a chance
for me, and it's the first chance I’ve had in a long time to feel desired, to
stop worrying, to stop thinking, stop being afraid.
Jeffrey: I understand. Sometimes, you
know, you just... We don't want to be rational anymore, right?
Beth: Some people in this town might
tell you I'm not anyway.
Jeffrey: I don't care about some
people, Beth. I care about you. And I know that, you know, sometimes you just
get tired of having to be in charge. Isn't that right?
Beth: Yes.
Jeffrey: Well, then... Allow me. You
can always say no. I'll take care of everything.
Beth: Including me?
Jeffrey: Especially you. All you have
to do is what you want to do. Just take what you want to take, and I'll do the
rest.
_________________________________________________________
Bill: Well, it took some fast-talking,
but I just saved your butt.
Tony: Would you stop? I was going to
take those guys down myself. I don't need any of this.
Bill: Tony, did you see gorilla number
one? The guy bench presses 400 in his sleep, okay? And I just called Cassie so
you don't have to worry about the cops.
Tony: You know what, bill? I don't need
any of your charity. I had this handled. It was taken care of.
Bill: Tony, you're not going to handle
anything. You're wasted, all right? And believe me, I know a drunken mess when I
see one. My father gave me the education that I never wanted.
Tony: Oh. Let me play you a sad song on
the world's smallest violin.
Bill: Let's go get up, tough guy.
Tony: Or what are you going to do about
it, huh?
Bill: Sit back down, will you?
Tony: That was pretty good. (Laughs)
Bill: Well, you're pretty slow and
you're pretty stupid right now. Tony, look at you. Why don't you just go back to
Marah and try to fix things up, all right?
Tony: Would you just leave it alone?
Bill: Whatever you did, she'll forgive
you.
Tony: Boy Scout, drop it. You have no
idea.
Bill: I see. So this is just you
feeling sorry for yourself.
Tony: You really want...
Eden: What is going on here?
Tony: Just in time. Bill wants to hear
my sins, why I can't go back to Marah.
Bill: You know, right now, Tony, you're
making it really hard to care.
Tony: Bill, you would be surprised how
fast that can change.
___________________________________________________________
Marina: Why isn't your dad answering
his phone?
Shayne: I don't get it, either. (Honks
horn) come on, step on it! This traffic is insane. We had to pick the one night
when the interstates like a parking lot.
Marina: Looks like it's clearing up
ahead.
Shayne: Finally. We're going to have to
step on it.
Marina: We're going to make it, Shayne.
Shayne: We have to. I'm not going to
let my dad down.
_________________________________________________________
Christopher: Just consider what I’ve
said. That's all I ask.
Reva: I'll try.
Christopher: We have a long way to go,
but we'll get there if we do the work.
Reva: Can I sleep on it? Dream on it?
Christopher: Of course you can, reva.
Reva?
Reva: It's nothing, really. It's
just...
Christopher: Your heart is racing.
_________________________________________________________
Marina: Okay, this is really getting
annoying. I got his voice mail again.
Shayne: Hold up the phone?
Marina: Yeah, sure.
Shayne: Hey, dad? Look, we're totally
blazing to get there, okay? I'm not going to let you down. This traffic is
just... Just call me back, okay? Please.
Christopher: This is strong, reva,
whatever it is.
Reva: I don't... It's something.
It's... Something. Oh, god. Something... I don't know.
Christopher: Focus, reva. What are you
seeing? What are you sensing?
_______________________________________________________
Marina: Shayne?
Shayne: It's going to be okay.
Reva: Not okay. No, it's not okay.
Christopher: What isn't?
Reva: What?
Christopher: What's not okay,
Reva?
Reva: No. No! (Tires squealing)
Marina: Shayne. Shayne! (Crashing)
Marina: (Screams) (horn honking)
_______________________________________________________________
Next, on "guiding light."
Tony: I mean, why are you here?
Marah: You know why I’m here.
Christopher: Don't fight what you're
feeling, reva. Tell me what you're getting. (Sirens)
This has been "Guiding Light."
