第六感生死缘Meet Joe Black Movie Script

SUSAN:

I agree --

YOUNG MAN:

Why?

SUSAN:

I was just being agreeable, now I've got to explain why?

YOUNG MAN:

I'm not trying to sharpshoot you, but that 'nothing lasts' stuff, that's what was the trouble with Honey's guy. He was fooling around and Honey caught him at it. One girlfriend wasn't enough for him.

SUSAN:

So you're a one-girl guy?

YOUNG MAN:

Damn right. Looking for her right now. Who knows? You might be her. Susan laughs. YOUNG MAN (cont'd) Well, don't laugh. I just arrived in town, got a new job -- I'm trying to get into this apartment. You a doctor?

SUSAN:

How'd you know?

YOUNG MAN:

Everybody's a doctor around here. This apartment house is all green pajamas and slippers. The guy I'm waiting for to vacate is a doctor. What kind of doctor?

SUSAN:

Me? Internal medicine. The Young Man smiles.

YOUNG MAN:

So if I needed a doctor, you could be it?

SUSAN:

I could be her.

YOUNG MAN:

'Her'. A moment.

SUSAN:

Yes, I could. (a moment) I have an office in the hospital.

YOUNG MAN:

-- This is my lucky day. I arrive in this big bad city and I not only find a doctor, a beautiful woman as well. Susan looks into her coffee. YOUNG MAN (cont'd) I'm sorry, you mind my saying that?

SUSAN:

Not at all.

YOUNG MAN:

How 'bout another cup of coffee?

SUSAN:

I've got patients coming in --

YOUNG MAN:

And I want to get into my apartment and go to work. Please, what do you say, another cup of coffee? Two pots are warming behind the counter, he reaches over and refills her cup and his. Pushes a container and pitcher to- wards her. YOUNG MAN (cont'd) I see you use lots of sugar and cream. Me, too... They smile at each other, fix up their coffee. EXT. PARRISH COMMUNICATIONS, NEW YORK CITY - DAY A magnificent granite building, a monument to good taste in the midtown sea of glass and aluminum. INT. OUTER LOBBY, PARRISH COMMUNICATIONS - DAY Parrish and Drew enter, no particular fanfare but an aware- ness the 'Chief' has arrived, everyone giving Parrish the appropriate wide berth, Drew right beside him.

DREW:

I'm all excited --

PARRISH:

Me, too.

DREW:

I thought it was great, I thought you and Big John would be like a couple of bulls in a china shop -- (faltering) Instead it was --

PARRISH:

Like a marriage made in heaven?

DREW:

You have a way with words. They stride to the main bank of elevators. INT. EXECUTIVE OFFICES, PARRISH COMMUNICATIONS - DAY Parrish, Drew beside him, proceeds through a high tech, but tasteful, maze, spiffy executive secretaries at burnished desks. Neither looking right or left, somehow Parrish man- ages to acknowledge their bright smiles and deferential nods despite his swift entrance.He passes through an open set of doors and he is into his own suite, commanded by JENNIFER, his assistant.

JENNIFER:

Good morning, Mr. Parrish.

PARRISH:

Hi, Jennifer. Drew is still at Parrish's heels, but now Parrish stops at the open door, turns back to him, reminding Drew that this is as far as he goes without being invited.
