Julianne: I am calling for Michael O'Neal, but seeing it's so late, I could just me leave...

Michael: Hallo.

Julianne: Hello. You've been enrolled in the Obscene Call Of The Month Club.

Michael: Hey! Beautiful! It's so great to hear your voice. I’ve missed you. I've been calling for over a month you know!

Julianne: I’ve been on a book tour. My machine eats all my messages.

Michael: You take average thirty days to just call.

Julianne: It’s less than it’s you.

Michael: Look, I have to ask you something. Something so incredibly important,

that if you turn me down, I don't know what I'll do.

Julianne: If I could just tell you this one thing first. This is probably going to hand you the biggest laugh of your adult life. I was thinking about you, and I was remembering this unbelievably insane night we spent together in Tucson, like a thousand years ago. And you probably won’t remember ...

Michael: Are you kidding? I think about it all the time.

Julianne: You do?

Michael: But it's not why I called.

Julianne: It’s not?

Michael: I called because I met someone.

Julianne: Well, that's great, that's great. You haven't really seen anybody since dingbat Jenny Lee...

Michael: You don't understand. I've never felt this way about anybody! And she's all wrong for me!

Julianne: Well, there’s a good start.

Michael: I mean she's a junior at the University of Chicago, she's twenty, her name’s Kim. She’s beautiful, and her dad is this billionaire who owns the White Sox and some cable empire, and you know I've always been uncomfortable with rich people…

Julianne: Sure.

Michael: -but they're not like that, they’re such wonderful people, really, salt of the earth.

Julianne: So you've met her parents.

Michael: Yeah. Jules, we're getting married this Sunday. Hallo?

Julianne: Michael, it's Wednesday night. How can you possibly be getting married on Sunday?

Michael: Actually, it all starts tomorrow. It's one of those four-day weddings, with all the traditional events, and ten million people flying in from the whole world.

Julianne: Aren't you working this weekend? I mean, is that responsible?

Michael: Well, the Sox are at home. And “Sport” wants me do a profile on the Big Hurt of Frank Thomas. You think it’s irresponsible to take off a weekend to get married? Jules. I'm scared.

Julianne: Maybe we should talk about this.

Michael: I need you. If you can't come and hold my hand I'll never get through this. Please come, please. I can't wait for you to meet her!
