19 YEARS
AFTER IT HAPPENED.
YEAH.
HELLO?
YOU'RE HOME!
NICK?
OH, WONDERFUL.
I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO REACH YOU FOR DAYS.
WHERE ARE YOU?
GRAND CENTRAL.
I'M, UH-
I'M ON MY WAY OVER, OKAY?
OKAY. I CAN'T WAIT.
YVETTE-
OH, I GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE REAL!
YEAH, WELL, I'M NOT REAL.
I'M JUST A MORE COMPLICATED
NEW MACHINE.
YOU'RE WHAT?
YOU COME ON OVER
AND SEE WHAT THIS
NEW MACHINE CAN DO.
I'M ON MY WAY.
I CAN'T WAIT.
I LOVE YOU.
THEN COME AND GET ME.
OH, SHH! SOMEBODY'S
GONNA CALL THE POLICE!
SHH. SHH.

SHH. SHH. SHH.
OH, MARRY ME.

OH, YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY.
SHH. COME ON.
SOMEBODY'S GONNA
CALL THE POLICE.
SHH.
HI.
HI.
- WHEN SHOULD WE DO IT?
- LET ME REST A MINUTE FIRST.
NO, I MEAN GET MARRIED.
GET MARRIED?
YOU JUST SAID YES.
OH, I ALWAYS SAY YES
AT THOSE TIMES.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T MARRY YOU.
WHAT?
COME ON. UP.
AH, BE RIGHT BACK.
- WHY WON'T YOU MARRY ME?
- YOU HARDLY KNOW ME.
WE SEE EACH OTHER.
I TALK TO YOU ALL THE TIME.
YOU TALK TO MY MACHINE.
- OH, SO WHAT.
I CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE.
- THAT'S A BEGINNING.
I'M MAKING AN HONEST
PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE.
TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL GIVE YOU A COPY
OF MY ANSWERING MACHINE TAPE.
YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU.
COME ON.
DON'T TOY WITH ME.
I'M SERIOUS.
WE'LL HAVE THIS HUGE WEDDING
IN SAINT PATRICK'S CATHEDRAL.
SAINT PATRICK'S?
WHAT IF I'M JEWISH?
THAT DOESN'T MATTER.
PA KNOWS THE CARDINAL.
YOU SEE, DARLING.
YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME.
I KNOW ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE
WITH MY ANSWERING MACHINE.
WELL, I'LL KNOW YOU
BETTER LATER ON.
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING?
- THAT DOESN'T MATTER. YOU WILL
NEVER HAVE TO WORK AGAIN.
- BUT I WANNA WORK.
I'M ASSISTANT EDITOR
AT NATIONAL MAGAZINE.
MAYBE PA OWNS IT.
DO YOU WANT A PROMOTION?
I WANT MY OWN LIFE
TOO, NICK.
- WELL, I'LL BUY YOU
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
- NO.
YOU JUST SAID NO.
I SAID NO.
HOW CAN YOU SAY
A THING LIKE THAT?
WHY COMPLICATE THINGS?
WE HAVE GREAT SEX, FREEDOM,
NO KIDS, NO RESPONSIBILITIES.
WHY DUPLICATE
THE MESSES OTHERS MAKE?
- BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO.
- WE CAN MAKE A MESS
OF OUR OWN?
- WHO KNOWS WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
- DON'T ASK ME ANYMORE, NICK.
I ADORE YOU. I REALLY DO.
BUT THE ANSWER'S
GONNA STAY THE SAME.
I'D TELL YOU WHY
IF I COULD BUT I CAN'T.
DON'T SAY YOU CAN'T.
SAY YOU DON'T WANT.
I DON'T WANT.
THEN FORGET IT.
ALL RIGHT.
I THINK
I'D BETTER LEAVE.
IF YOU WANT TO.
I HAVE A FRIEND COMING OVER
IF YOU'D LIKE TO MEET HER.
A FRIEND? WHO?
PATTY. SHE'S FROM
THE MAGAZINE. YOU'D DIG HER.
- DIG HER? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
- WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO MEAN.
GOD, YOU'RE JUST
LIKE THE OTHERS.
OTHERS?
HOW MANY ARE THERE?
FEWER AND FEWER.
OH, I GET IT.
YOU'RE INTO WOMEN.
- I AM A WOMAN.
- YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
NOPE. AND I WON'T MARRY
A PERSON I CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
GOOD NIGHT.
CALL THE MACHINE
WHENEVER YOU WANT, DARLING.
IT ONLY GOES ONE WAY.
MR. WILSON?
GOOD EVENING.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T
AGREE WITH YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO,
RAYMOND.
