Ginger asks Jeff if they can postpone the wedding (from "Can't Say No") Special thanks to Denise for sending me this transcript!! (Jeff and Ginger are out at the ballpark. Jeff is playing a game of catch with someone we never actually see and Ginger is leaning over the rail, watching.) Ginger(leaning on the rail): The organist wants to know if her sister can attend the wedding. Jeff(continues playing ball): Do we know her sister? Ginger(smiling, with pride in her voice): No, never met her. But she's visiting from Kentucky. She wants to meet you because you're a famous baseball player. (Jeff smiles at that. Both look up toward right field and notice workers putting Ginger's head on the Lemo Tomato juice billboard. Neither of them can believe it at first.) Ginger (disbelieving): Oh my word...I'm a billboard!! Jeff (quietly at first): How about that? (A little louder) How about that? (warming to the idea) This is gonna be great, both of us in right field. You looking over my shoulder every game...that ought to bring me luck. (Both their heads tilt to the side as they try to wrap their minds around this latest development. Jeff has an especially odd expression on his face, then shaking it off, resumes his game.) Ginger (tentatively): Th-that reminds me. Jeff, there's a little something I need to ask you. Jeff (distracted): Uh-huh...shoot. Ginger: I don't want to get you upset. Jeff: I won't get upset. Ginger: You promise? Jeff: I promise. Ginger: Because this is gonna sound like a big deal it's really not. Jeff (beginning to get annoyed): If it's not such a big deal, just ask. Ginger: Well...sometimes you make a big deal out of things and they're not such a big deal - Jeff(turns to face her, very annoyed): Well I'm gonna make a big deal out of this if you don't ask the question. Ginger(shocked): I'll ask the question. I just want to make sure. Jeff(calmer): Go ahead. Ginger(losing her nerve): I don't want to put you in a bad mood...I'll ask you tomorrow. Jeff(stops throwing and walks over to her, very agitated): Ask the question now! Ginger: See you're already in a bad mood. Jeff(calming down): Ginger, just-just ask the question. Ginger(looking at the billboard): Alright...alright. Remember you promised. (Pauses looking down at her hands and then asks quickly) Would you mind postponing our wedding date? Jeff(taken aback): That's the question? Ginger: That's the question. Jeff(trying to appear calm, but he's nervous): That's not such a big deal. Of course we can postpone the wedding date. What's the problem? Ginger (glancing again at the billboard): Work - Jeff(relieved): Oh work...wh-wh-what do you need? A week? Two weeks? Ginger(laughing nervously): A year. Jeff(thinking she's joking): A year. (realizes she's serious) A YEAR!! Ginger(looks at him through lowered eyes): Your promised you wouldn't get upset. (Jeff has no response, but it's obvious he can't believe this. He looks away, then turns back with a look of complete and utter bewilderment as the scene fades to black.)
