Scenes with Jonah Baldwin
6 scenes Jonah Baldwin I'd much rather just see somebody I like, and get a feeling about them, and ask them if they want to have a drink.
Jonah Baldwin Or a slice of pizza --
Not dinner. Not necessarily on the first date because halfway through dinner you could be really sorry you asked them to dinner. Whereas if it's just a drink, if you like them you can always ask them for dinner but if not, you can just say, "Well, that was great," and then you go home. If you see what I mean. [beat] I wonder if it still works this way.
Jonah Baldwin It doesn't. They ask you.
I'm starting to notice that.
Jonah Baldwin If you get a new wife, I guess you'll get to have sex with her, huh?
I certainly hope so.
Jonah Baldwin Will she scratch up your back?
Jonah Baldwin In the movies, women are always scratching up the men's back and screaming and stuff when they're having sex.
How do you know all this?
Jonah Baldwin Jessica's got cable.
Oh.
[about Annie]
She wants to meet me at the top of the Empire State Building. On Valentine's Day.
Suzy It's like that movie.
What movie?
Suzy An Affair To Remember. Did you ever see it? Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. She's gonna meet him at the top of the Empire State Building... only she got hit by a taxi. And he waited and waited. And it was raining, I think. And then... she's too proud to tell him... that she's, uh... [starts to cry] crippled. And he's too proud to find out why she doesn't come. But he comes to see her anyway. I forget why, but, oh... Oh, it's so amazing when he comes to see her because... [crying more] he doesn't even notice that she doesn't get up to say hello. And he's very bitter. And you think that he's just gonna walk out the door... and never know why she's just lying there, you know, on the couch... with this blanket over her shriveled little legs. [sobbing]
Jonah Baldwin Are you all right?
Greg She's fine.
Suzy Suddenly he goes, "I already sold the painting." And he like goes to the bedroom... and he looks and he comes out and he looks at her and he kind of just... They know and then they hug. And it's so... [trails off crying]
Well I'm not looking for a mail-order bride! I just want somebody I can have a decent conversation with over dinner. Without it falling down into weepy tears over some movie!
Greg She's, as you just saw, very emotional.
Although I cried at the end of The Dirty Dozen.
Greg Who didn't?
Jim Brown was throwing these hand grenades down these airshafts. And Richard Jaeckel and Lee Marvin [Begins to cry] were sitting on top of this armored personnel carrier, dressed up like Nazis...
Greg [Crying too]
Stop, stop!
And Trini Lopez...
Greg Yes, Trini Lopez!
He busted his neck while they were parachuting down behind the Nazi lines...
Greg Stop.
And Richard Jaeckel - at the beginning he had on this shiny helmet...
Greg [Crying harder]
Please no more. Oh God! I loved that movie.
Jonah Baldwin Are you going with her?
I'm going with Victoria. Yes.
Jonah Baldwin [Jonah slams his door] [walks to Jonah's room]
Don't go rolling in poison ivy as soon as I leave the house. You lock yourself in a closet or do anything, make sure you'll need stitches. If your finger falls off, it's staying off. No one's gonna pack it on ice and take you to the hospital, so you can be a breakthrough in laser surgery. Is this about that woman in Baltimore?
Jonah Baldwin Annie.
Jonah Baldwin [Sam leaves the room and closes the door]
I don't care what you do!
Good! Fine! I'll tell you what I'm doing this weekend, I'm getting laid. It's the 1990's and nobody's getting laid. I'm the only man in America who's getting laid this weekend and I haven't been laid that much. Six girls in college, maybe seven. [sees Jonah standing in the doorway] How long have you been standing there?
Jonah Baldwin Forever.
What did you just hear me say?
Jonah Baldwin Six girls in college, maybe seven.
Seven... EIGHT! Mary Kelly.
Jonah Baldwin [holds Annie's letter]
This is the one I like!
Jonah, the fact is, you're not gonna like any woman, because that isn't your mother.
Jonah Baldwin How do you know?! What's wrong with Annie?!
Oh, Jonah, shut up!
Jonah Baldwin Shut up? Shut up?! Mom never said "shut up" to me! Mom never yelled at me!
This conversation is finished.
Jonah Baldwin Why can't we go to New York?
There is no way that we're going on a plane to meet some woman who could be a crazy, sick lunatic! Didn't you see Fatal Attraction?
Jonah Baldwin You wouldn't let me!
Well I saw it and it scared the shit out of me! It scared the shit out of every man in America!
Jonah Baldwin I'm not leaving until you say "yes".
Jonah Baldwin [Sam closes his bedroom door on Jonah]
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!
That's good, you'll have a lot to tell Oprah how your Dad destroyed your life because he had to go off for a weekend special at the Holiday Inn!
Jonah Baldwin He's not sane enough to judge anything. Now he's kissing her on the lips. She's a ho! My dad's been captured by a ho! What am I going to do?
Dr. Marcia Fieldstone Jonah, calm down. Tomorrow, when you're sitting down to breakfast, tell him how you feel. It's not good to keep your feelings inside you.
[Jonah hangs up, then screams]
