David and David. That’s easy. It’s the Twin Cities, so...
DAVID:
(in explanation) We only just met.
He’s writing a piece on the tour.
Should we get going?
PATTY:
Yes, come on, come on... As they exit:
DAVID:
How was your morning, Patty... 40.
PATTY:
Good. How about you guys? The flight alright?
59 INT. PATTY'S CAR/STREET - MINNEAPOLIS - 1996 - DAY 59 Driving through Minneapolis. David and Lipsky share the backseat. Patty is a talker.
PATTY:
You wouldn’t believe all the famous people I’ve driven around! Shirley MacLaine? When she came through on a book tour? Ron Wood. You know, of the Rolling Stones?
DAVID:
Of course, yeah, wow.
PATTY:
Peter O’Toole... Very thin, but delightful.
Lipsky sees the passing, obstructed view of the Mary Tyler Moore commemorative statue.
LIPSKY:
Oh, look:
The Mary Tyler Moore statue.
DAVID:
Oh, yeah.
PATTY:
Do you want me to stop?
DAVID:
No, no.
PATTY:
Everybody who comes here, the first thing they want to see is “where did Mary Tyler Moore throw her cap in the air?” One of our biggest attractions.
You sure you don’t want me to stop?
DAVID:
I’m sure. Thanks, anyway.
(sotto, to Lipsky)
Trust me:
This is about as sexy as the tour gets.
Lipsky laughs.
