Opening of scene
[Walking in, finding Isobel.] Isobel?
-
ISOBEL: Oh! Stephen! I was just... I thought the place needed a bit of tidying up.
The crew will do that in the morning, you know.
-
STEPHEN: The crew will do that in the morning, you know.
ISOBEL: I know, but I couldn't sleep. Might as well make myself useful.
Okay. [turn to walk away]
-
ISOBEL: I know, but I couldn't sleep. Might as well make myself useful.
STEPHEN: Okay. [turn to walk away]
ISOBEL: You?
What?
-
ISOBEL: I know, but I couldn't sleep. Might as well make myself useful.
STEPHEN: Okay. [turn to walk away]
ISOBEL: You?
STEPHEN: What?
ISOBEL: What are you doing here?
There are only so many corridors in a hospital. Once yo've walked them all about a hundred times you start getting dizzy. And that hospital smell.
-
STEPHEN: There are only so many corridors in a hospital. Once you've walked them all about a hundred times you start getting dizzy. And that hospital smell.
ISOBEL: Yes. Do they know anything?
They're not sure. They just told me to go home, get some rest, come back in the morning.
-
STEPHEN: They're not sure. They just told me to go home, get some rest, come back in the morning.
ISOBEL: That's probably best.
Oh, yeah - rest. Right.
-
STEPHEN: Oh, yeah - rest. Right.
ISOBEL: You know, I bet you haven't eaten a bite all day. What you need is a good nourishing meal.
I'm not hungry.
-
STEPHEN: I'm not hungry.
ISOBEL: Maybe not, but it'll give us something to do.
Really, I don't need you to fuss...
-
STEPHEN: Really, I don't need you to fuss...
ISOBEL: What fuss? I'll just throw a few things together, then we can sit and have a nice chat and...
Will you stop trying to mother me!
-
STEPHEN: Will you stop trying to mother me!
ISOBEL: Is that what you think I'm doing?
Aren't you?
-
STEPHEN: Will you stop trying to mother me!
ISOBEL: Is that what you think I'm doing?
STEPHEN: Aren't you?
ISOBEL: Right now, all I'm trying to do is make you a sandwich.
You've been trying to get close to me ever since you showed up here, but it's not going to work. Isobel - I already have a mother.
-
ISOBEL: We were the first ones to wear dog collars on our ankles.
Dog collars?
-
ISOBEL: Oh, we were quite the pair! Sourdough or rye?
Uh... rye...
-
ISOBEL: He taught your mother how to drive in that car.
Really? Ma's a terrible driver.
-
ISOBEL: Mustard or mayo?
Mustard.
-
ISOBEL: So I didn't wait - I got on the next plain to Paris. A little ground pepper?
Uh... okay.
-
ISOBEL: ...just two hormone-driven teenagers bumping uglies again... Oh, I'm sorry - I've said too much...
No - I just need somethign to go with this sandwich. And if I know my mother... Thought so. Okay, let me guess - three months later...
-
ISOBEL: So we quietly arranged it with an adoption agency and the day after you were born, you became part of the Biddle family, and I started up the career ladder.
And forgot about me.
-
ISOBEL: Every time Larry came down to Chicago he'd bring photos of you, report cards, and... look.
What's that?
-
STEPHEN: What's that?
ISOBEL: A lock of your hair. Two of your baby teeth.
There's something you don't see every day.
-
ISOBEL: apparently, that was the first time a funeral was reported in the sports section.
Wow. My life is a soap opera.
-
ISOBEL: It may have been a little unconvenient but - not so terrible, really. Was it?
No - it wasn't terrible. Life with Ma has always been pretty darn interesting.
-
ISOBEL: But if I could fit into your life somewhere... well, that would be a greater gift than I could ever deserve.
Isobel - I'm gonna need a little more time...
-
ISOBEL: How about some coffee and dessert. I think we still have some of those pastry shells...
[Grab her hand] Isobel?
-
STEPHEN: [Grab her hand] Isobel?
Hmm?
Thanks.
