please?
Loracarol: Jakken pinches her.
Rin: OW!

Loracarol: Rin
runs and runs into Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru: Who are you?
Rin:
I'm Rin.
Kagome: Welcome home, Mr. Sesshomaru, how was
your—?
Sesshomaru: Don't ask me about my trip, it was a
nightmare, factories are shutting down, right and left. Bad, very
bad. I'll be in my study. Mrs. Pugh, bring me a sandwich.
Kagome:
President InuYasha phoned. He's awaiting your call at the white
house.
Sesshomaru: Fine. (Noticing Rin) What did you say
your name was?
Rin:
Rin, sir.
Sesshomaru: Is there any particular reason why you're
here?
Kagome: With all the negative press you've been receiving,
sir.
Sesshomaru: Oh. Yes, right.
Kagome: Rin is the orphan you
invited for Christmas.
Sesshomaru: (To Rin) You're a girl.
Orphans are boys.
Kagome: You didn't specify boy, sir.
Rin:
Oh, gee, Mr. Sesshomaru sir, that's okay you can trade me in for a
boy I really ENJOY seeing your house it sure is big.
Sesshomaru:
Rin, I couldn't…be more…delighted that you will be spending
Christmas here with me in my…big house. (Rin smiles) (To Kagome)
What are we supposed to do with her?
Kagome: Well it is
Rin's first night here so—
Sesshomaru: Then come to my club
for dinner and cigars.
Kagome: Sir, your club is for men
only.
Rin: And I don't smoke.
Sesshomaru: I see. Then how
about a brandy?
Kagome: How about a Broadway show?
Rin: Gee,
I've never been to one of those before.
Sesshomaru: Then you'll
attend a Broadway show with Kagome. (He walks away but Rin fallows
him) I thought you were going out.
Rin: Oh, yes, well, see, Mr.
Sesshomaru, I've never met anybody with a real Job, except Mrs.
Bundles, so I'd kind of like to watch you work.
Sesshomaru:
Fine. Sometime when I'm not busy.
Kagome: Sir, you're never
not busy.
Sesshomaru: Oh. Alright. Very well.
Loracarol: Rin sits down on a chair while Sesshomaru goes through some papers. He goes through three papers and—
Sesshomaru:
Well, that's about it, goodbye.
Rin: Can't I watch this a few
more minutes? (Sesshomaru Just stares at Kagome)
An hour
later
Loracarol: Sesshomaru is on the phone with the
President)
Sesshomaru: (On the phone) My assessment of the
situation, Mr. President? Well, it's pretty darned bad out there.
My factories—everybody's factories—are shutting down. Mr.
President, I know you're feeling pressure. I'm feeling pressure
myself at this very moment. You're coming to New York for the
holidays?
Rin: Could you invite him for Christmas!
Sesshomaru:
Why don't you spend Christmas with me and my new…Rin? (Listens
on the phone) Excellent! (Hangs up) He said "Yes!"
Kagome:
Now that's wonderful news.
Rin: So the president of United
States is coming to your house for Christmas.
Sesshomaru: For
Christmas dinner. I wonder what democrats eat.
Kagome: Let's go
out and celebrate with Rin. We'll show her the town.
Sesshomaru:
Too much work, Kagome.
Rin: That's okay, sir. I've never seen
New York before, so I'm Just as happy to watch you
work.
Sesshomaru: You're telling me you live in New York City
and haven't seen the place?
Rin: Miss Kagura--
Kagome: She
runs to orphanage.
Rin: Well, she never lets us kids out. What's
New York City like anyway?
Sesshomaru: Well it's— hmm? Let me
think. Sesshomaru: N.Y.C. What is it about you? You're
big. You're loud. You're tough. N-Y-C. I go years without you.
Then I can't get enough.
Loracarol: Sesshomaru and Kagome
are taking Rin all around New York City
Sesshomaru: Enough of cab drivers answering back, in language far from pure. Enough of frankfurters answering back, "Brother, you know you're".
Kagome:
In N-Y-C. Too busy, too crazy.
Sesshomaru: Too hot, too
cold. Too late, I'm sold. Again on N.Y.C.
Kagome: N-Y-C,
the shadows at sundown. The roofs that scrape the sky.
Kagome
and Sesshomaru: N-Y-C. The rich and the rundown. The big parade
goes by.
Sesshomaru: What other town has the Empire State
and a mayor five-foot-two? No other town in the whole 48 can half
compare to you.
Kagome and Sesshomaru: N-Y-C.
Kagome: You make em' all postcards.
Kagome
and Sesshomaru: You crowd the cramp, you're still the champ.
Amen for N-Y-C. The shimmer of Times Square. The coast, the beat, the
drive. The city's bright as a penny arcade. It blinks, it tilts, it
rings.
Rin: To think that I've lived here all of my
life and never seen these things.
Random Blonde: N-Y-C.
Just got here this morning. Three bucks, two bags, one me. N-Y-C. I
give you fair warning. Up there in lights I'll be. Go ask the
Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart. The place they love the best. Though
California pays big for their art. Their fan mail comes addressed, to
N-Y-C. Tomorrow, a penthouse. That's way up high! Tonight, the "Y".
Why not? It's N-Y-C!
Sesshomaru, Rin, and Kagome:
N-Y-C. You're standing room only. You crowd. You cramp. You're
still the champ. Amen. For N…Y…C!
Rin: Sandy!
Sesshomaru
: Whoa! (Sandy rushes to them) Who's this?
Rin: An old pal. Can
we keep him?
Kagome: Sir, you always wanted a dog.
Sesshomaru:
Well, what the heck.
Loracarol: Rin falls asleep against Kagome.
Popcorn seller. Popcorn, for sale! Popcorn!
Sesshomaru:
Popcorn? You want some popcorn? I haven't had popcorn since—
(Notices Rin is asleep against Kagome)
Sesshomaru: Give
in. Don't fight. Good girl. Goodnight, sleep tight in N…Y-C.
Loracarol: Sesshomaru smiles, lifts Rin into his arms and carries her into his house.
