Carol Connelly

[Carol Connelly carries Spencer "Spence" Connelly through a class of uniformed kids from a Catholic elementary school. Carol Connelly spots Melvin Udall who is about to enter a cab.]

Melvin, wait!

School kids

[Melvin turns to face Carol and the school kids, who pick up the chant in unison.]

Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait! Melvin, wait!

Melvin Udall

[after looking incredulous for a moment]

SHUT UP, KIDS!

Carol Connelly

[The school kids immediately obey as Carol approaches Melvin.]

Give us a lift, would you, Melvin?

Melvin Udall

[Melvin is thrown and pauses a beat.]

A lift? Okay? [to Spencer "Spence" Connelly] Cover your mouth while you cough, kid.

Spencer "Spence" Connelly

I won't.
