RITA
This is great.

PHIL
No, it isn’t. You hate fudge.

. RITA
Just how well do we know each
other?

PHIL
I told you. I know everybody.
Rita stops walking.

Did we ever…you know?

PHIL

(TEASING)
Did we ever! You were an animal.

-91-

RITA
Come on.

PHIL
You’re European trained, aren’t
you.
Phil continues walking.

RITA

(BLUSHING)
Phil! It’s not funny.
She catches up to him. Phil turns to her.

PHIL
You weren’t interested.

RITA

(RELIEVED)
Okay.
She begins walking again.

RITA
Not that it would’ve been so
awful.

PHIL
I understand.

RITA
I just had to know whether to
smack you or not.

PHIL
You did.

RITA
Good.

CUT TO:

EXT. PARK – DAY

Phil and Rita are sitting on a park bench.

PHIL
So do you believe any of this?

RITA
I don’t know. I don’t know how
else you could know so much.
Maybe it is really happening.

-92-

PHIL
I used to try to stay up all
night sometimes. I thought if I
could stay conscious I could
figure out what was going on, or
at least hang onto something from
the day before. But I gave up on
that a long time ago.
Rita looks at him with compassion.

RITA
It sounds so– lonely.

PHIL
(trying to shrug it

OFF)
It’s not that bad. You get used
to it.
Rita comes to a decision.

RITA
Maybe I should spend the rest of
the day with you– as an
objective witness. Just to see
what happens. Okay?

PHIL
Yeah, sure. That’d be okay.

CUT TO:

INT. PHIL’S ROOM – NIGHT

A hat is lying on Phil’s bed. A playing card flies past. A
second playing card sails right into the hat. Another playing
card sails past, missing. Another playing card sails right in
Phil and Rita are tossing cards. Rita is missing. Phil is
hitting.

PHIL
It’s not in the wrist so much as
the fingers. Be the hat.

RITA
It would take me a year to get
good at this.

PHIL
Uh-uh. Six months. Four, five
hours a day.

RITA
Is this what you do with
eternity?

-93-

PHIL
Now you know. It’s like waiting
for a bus that never comes . You
should see me play pool — and
bowling, juggling, hacky sack.
I can ride a unicycle.
There ‘ s a knock on the door .

PHIL
I’ll get it!
Phil jumps for the door and opens it. The PIZZA GUY is there.

PHIL
Hi, Marty. $11.75 including the
delivery charge, right?

PIZZA GUY
U h hh h —
Phil pays him, takes the pizza and closes the door.

RITA
(opening the pizza box)
MMMM. Pepperoni and olives. My
favorite .

PHIL
Of course. I told you, I know
everything .

RITA
(taking a bite of

PIZZA)
I don ‘ t think I ‘ d want to know
everything that ‘ s going to
happen. I like to be surprised.

PHIL
That’s not the worst part.

RITA
What’s the worst part?

PHIL
The worst part is starting over
everyday. Tomorrow you won’t
remember any of this. You’ll go
back to treating me like a
complete jerk —

RITA
No —

PHIL
It’s not your fault. I am a
jerk.

-94-

RITA
No, you’re not.

PHIL
Okay, I ‘ m not. It really doesn’t
make a lot of difference. I’ve
killed myself so many times, I
don’t even exist anymore. I’m
just completely empty.

RITA
Or completely clean.

PHIL
If you’re going to be this
positive all the time I may have
to rough you up a little.

RITA
Wait! Have we done this before?

PHIL
Which part?

RITA
You getting me up here, the card
gam e, the pizza–

PHIL
No, this is the first time.

RITA

Well?

PHIL
Well, what?

RITA
Well how does it feel to be doing
something completely new?
Phil looks at her with tremendous affection and gratitude.

PHIL
Good. Really good.
He takes a slice of pizza and starts eating with gusto.
