If Poseidon Had a Surfboard
[Intro: Sam Waterston, Bruce Dern, Karen Black & Beth Porter]
I'll leave you
Oh, no you don't! Myrtle'd be very hurt if you wouldn't come upstairs to the apartment. Wouldn't you, Myrtle?
Come on, I'll call my sister Catherine. People who know her say she's beautiful
What about our appointments?
Now, Wall Street will still be there tomorrow. Come along
Really, Myrtle, that dress! I think it's adorable!
It's just a crazy old thing. I slip it on sometimes when I don't care what I look like
It looks wonderful on you, if you know what I mean. I think if Chester could get you in that pose... I think he could really make something of it
[Interlude: John Goodman & William Forsythe]
I love to drive
Oh, you sure said somethin' there, partner
Yes sir. I think in between the ransom, and this bank, you and I will be sittin' in the fabled catbird seat
Gale, uh, Jr. just had, uh, uh, an accident
What's that, partner?
He had himself a lil' ol' accident
What do you mean? He looks okay
No, you see, movin' though we are, he just went and had himself a lil' ol' rest stop
Well, that's natural
Gale?
What now, little brother?
He smiled at me! He smiled at me
[Outro: Kathryn Leigh Scott, Sam Waterston & Karen Black]
I'm Catherine, Myrtle's sister
Oh
People say we look like twins, but I don't think so
I'm Nick. Won't you sit down?
I told that boy about the ice. These servants! You really have to keep after them all the time
You live down on Long Island, too?
Yes, I live in West Egg
Really? I was just down at a party in West Egg about a month ago, at a man named Gatsby's. Do you know him?
I live next door to him
He's German. Really. The cousin or nephew or something of Kaiser Wilhelm. That's where all his money comes from
Really?
Oh, I'm scared of him
Why?
Oh, I'd hate to have him get anything on me
