Jeff and Ginger make up, then fight, then make up again (from "All These Things Will I Give To Thee") (Jeff is working at the Roadhouse, standing behind the bar when he sees Ginger walk in. Jeff tries to ignore Ginger, but Ginger knows she saw him). Ginger (sits at the bar): Do you mind if I sit here? Jeff (trying to be cool and stand-offish): It's a free country. Ginger (amused): You're more stubborn than I thought. Jeff: Only when I'm right. Ginger: Well, that's true. Jeff (does a double take): What's true, that I'm stubborn or that I'm right? Ginger: Both. You have a right to be pig-headed- (Jeff doesn't think she gets it, and walks away. Ginger realizes what she said came out the wrong way and goes after him) Ginger: I realize that I hurt your feelings when I stayed in Hollywood... And if I gave you the impression that my career is more important to me than you are--I'm sorry... Jeff (realizes she wants to make up): You're sorry? Well, in that case, I want to make up too, I... (leans in close, is about to kiss her) As a matter of fact, I think we should kiss and make up... Ginger (giggles): Not here... Jeff (eagerly): I get off work in half an hour... Ginger (pauses, doesn't want to disappoint him): I have to work the switchboard at the station tonight- Jeff: I thought you just said I was more important than your career! Ginger: Well you are! But I can't tell my new boss that--he's very happy with my performance- Jeff: Performance? Ginger, you answer a telephone! (Jeff walks away from her again, but she follows him) Ginger: But I do it with feeling! You should call and hear me! Jeff: Well I guess I'm going to have to if I ever want to talk to you again, what with you working morning, noon, and night to become the next Harriet Nelson! Ginger (can't believe his attitude): Has the laundry been putting starch in your shorts or something? Jeff: I can't believe I ever fell for your apology- Ginger: I said I was sorry... I touched a soft spot, but I can't help it if you take everything the wrong way! Jeff: So now it's all my fault! Ginger: So I'm the only one that has to say I'm sorry! Jeff: Oh I'm sorry, all right--good and sorry! (Ginger storms off) (Cut to... Later, Jeff calls Ginger at the station) Ginger (in her best "sophisticated voice"): This is WREQ, voice of greater River Run... Jeff: Hey, it's me. Ginger (still mad at him): Would you like to make a musical request? Jeff: I hate fighting. Ginger (not wanting to let him off the hook yet): Who is the recording artist? Jeff: It's not a song and you know it. Ginger: Thank you for your comments regarding pacifism. I'll be sure to pass it onto management. Jeff: Ginger, I don't want to fight anymore... Look, did it ever occur to you that- (phone rings) Ginger: One moment please... (she answers the phone, then switches back to Jeff) Go ahead. Jeff: Did it ever occur to you that maybe, just maybe, we've been fighting a lot because of the- (phone rings again) Ginger: One moment please... (answers the phone again, then switches back to Jeff) Go ahead. Jeff: Did it ever occur to you that maybe we've been fighting because of all the tension- (phone rings a third time) Ginger: One moment please. (once again answers the phone, meanwhile Jeff is really getting annoyed. Finally she switches back to him) Because of what? Jeff (wondering if he'll finally get to complete a sentence before the phone rings again): Maybe we've been fighting because of all the tension between us... Ginger (not getting what he's trying to say, rolls her eyes in exasperation): Well of course there's been tension between us--we're always fighting! (phone rings again). One moment please- Jeff (really annoyed now): No! I'm tired of being interrupted... (realizes Ginger didn't switch to the other line, then continues) That's not the kind of tension I mean. Ginger: Well what kind of tension were you referring to? Jeff: I'm talking about... Physical tension. Ginger (suddenly realizes what he's been trying to say): What?! Jeff (knowing she knows what he means): Don't you say 'what' to me--I'm talking about just what you think I'm talking about! (Ginger panics and hangs up on him) (Cut to... later, Jeff barges into the radio station) Jeff: Did you or did you not hang up on me? Ginger: We had a deal, buster, and you are trying to renege! Jeff: The trouble with you is, you misunderstand everything I say... Ginger: That's the trouble with you. Jeff: Oh so now we're saying the same thing! Maybe we oughta quit while we agree on something! Ginger (suddenly realizing that he may be breaking up with her): I don't think agreeing that we don't get along is a good place to quit! Jeff (walks over to her): We'd get along a lot more if we spent more time together. And as far as I can tell, the only time that I'm not working and you're not working is late at night when we're both asleep. So the only way to make this thing work is to sleep together- (Ginger slaps him) Jeff: Ow! You know, I planned this speech all day! Ginger: Nothing you say is going to convince me to have sex with you! Jeff (realizing that if he doesn't get this out now, she'll never know what he's trying to telling her): I say we oughta get married! Ginger (stunned): That's it? That's the big speech you planned all day? Jeff (frustrated that he's not getting through to her): Well now you know! I can't dance, I can't act, and I can't write speeches. Do you want to get engaged? (Ginger takes off her headset and kisses him, leaving the switchboard blaring with phone calls to the station...)
