 ...It's kind of a pro bono job.

                             SUSAN
                'Pro bono'.  That means doing good
                -- Going to be doing good all your
                life?

                             YOUNG MAN
                I know what you're saying.  Doesn't
                pay very well.  Depends on the woman
                I marry.  Maybe she'd like a bigger
                house, a better car, lotsa kids,
                college doesn't come cheap --

                             SUSAN
                You'd give up what you want for the
                woman you marry?

                             YOUNG MAN
                I would.

        Susan rises now, the Young Man with her, leaving money for
        their checks they head for the door.

                             YOUNG MAN (cont'd)
                If I married you, I'd want to give
                you what you wanted, I know it's
                old fashioned and all that, but
                what's wrong with taking care of a
                woman?  She takes care of you.

                             SUSAN
                You'll have a hard time finding a
                woman like that these days --

                             YOUNG MAN
                You never know.  Lightning could
                strike.


==============================================================


                             SUSAN
                You're not listening --

                             PARRISH
                Oh yes, I am.  Not an ounce of
                excitement, not a whisper of a
                thrill, this relationship has all
                the passion of a pair of titmice.

                             SUSAN
                Don't get dirty, Dad --

                             PARRISH
                Well, it worries me.  I want you
                to get swept away.  I want you to
                levitate.  I want you to sing with
                rapture and dance like a dervish.

                             SUSAN
                That's all?

                             PARRISH
                Be deliriously happy.  Or at least
                leave yourself open to be.

                             SUSAN
                'Be deliriously happy'.  I'm going
                to do my upmost --

        He smiles.

                             PARRISH
                I know it's a cornball thing but
                love is passion, obsession, someone
                you can't live without.  If you
                don't start with that, what are you
                going to end up with?  I say fall
                head over heels.  Find someone you
                can love like crazy and who'll love
                you the same way back.  And how do
                you find him?  Forget your head and
                listen to your heart.  I'm not
                hearing any heart.
                        (a moment)
                Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll 
                come back.  Because, the truth is 
                there is no sense living your life 
                without this.  To make the journey 
                and not fall deeply in love -- well, 
                you haven't lived a life at all.  
                You have to try.  Because if you 
                haven't tried, you haven't lived.

                             SUSAN
                Bravo.

                             PARRISH
                Aw, you're tough.

                             SUSAN
                I'm sorry.  But give it to me again.
                The short version.

                             PARRISH
                Stay open.  Who knows?  Lightning
                could strike.

        Silence.

                             PARRISH (cont'd)
                Forgive the lecture --
