I'm not totally sure if this meets the theme... You've Got Mail (1998) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=to-69CP_lYs Joe is looking at Kathleen. JOE Who are you? KATHLEEN Kathleen Kelly. I own this store. And you are? JOE Joe. Just call me Joe. (quickly) We'll take these books. He gets the one Matt is reading. And the two other Kathleen has gotten for Annabel. KATHLEEN These are wonderful books. As Annabel gets older the characters in the books do, too. (to Annabel) You can grow up with Betsy. GEORGE You're going to come back again, aren't you? JOE Of course. GEORGE This is why we're never going to go under. Our customers are loyal. KATHLEEN (by way of explanation) They're opening a Foxbooks around the corner. ANNABEL Foxbooks! My Daddy -- JOE (gently putting his hand over her mouth) -- likes to buy at discount. Don't tell anyone that, Annabel, it's nothing to be proud of -- MATT (spelling) F-O-X. KATHLEEN That's amazing. You can spell fox. Can you spell dog? MATT F-O-X. JOE Matt, look at this dinosaur book. Wouldn't you like a dinosaur book? Annabel, maybe you could read this to Matt while I wrap things up here. (moves them to a corner, to them quickly) Sit down, read, and don't listen to anything I say. Returns to counter and gives Kathleen some cash. JOE And the dinosaur book too. KATHLEEN The world is not driven by discounts, believe me. I've been in business forever. I started helping my mother here after school when I was six years old. I used to watch her, and it wasn't that she was selling books, it was that she was helping people become whoever they were going to turn out to be. When you read a book as a child it becomes part of your identity in a way that no other reading in your life does. (stops herself) I guess I've gotten carried away. JOE You have, and you've made me feel... He can't finish the sentence. He looks at her and sees, behind her on the shelf, a picture of a woman who is unmistakably Kathleen's mother, with a young Kathleen. JOE (cont'd) Enchanting, your mother was enchanting. KATHLEEN She was. How did you know that? JOE Lucky guess. KATHLEEN Anyway. She left the store to me, and I'm going to leave it to my daughter. JOE How old is your daughter now? KATHLEEN Oh, I'm not married. But eventually.
