JAMIE
No, that one`s Jerry Seinfeld.
That one`s John Lennon there.
No, the Dakota-
The San Remo is up a few blocks.
Have you been inside the Museum?
We should go.
Meet the dinosaurs.
Cathy.
HE takes a ring out of his jeans pocket.
Will you share your life with me
For the next ten minutes?
For the next ten minutes:
We can handle that.
We could watch the waves,
We could watch the sky,
Or just sit and wait
As the time ticks by,
And if we make it `til then,
Can I ask you again
For another ten?
CATHERINE appears, wearing her wedding gown.
And if you in turn agree
To the next ten minutes,
And the next ten minutes,
`Til the morning comes,
Then just holding you
Might compel me to
Ask you for more.
There are so many lives I want to share with you-
I will never be complete until I do.
JAMIE slides the ring on to CATHERINE`s finger.
CATHERINE
I`m not always on time.
Please don`t expect that from me.
I will be late,
But if you can just wait,
I will make it eventually.
Not like it`s in my control,
Not like I`m proud of the fact,
But being anything other than being exactly on time,
I can do.
I don`t know why people run.
I don`t know why things fall through.
I don`t know how anybody survives in this life
Without someone like you.
I could protect and preserve,
I could say no and goodbye,
But why, Jamie, why?
