Jerry Maguire Deleted Scenes – Going to the Airport (Extended)

INT. DALLAS AIRPORT — DAY

Jerry is now teeming with energy, professional and sexual.

JERRY

Avery, I signed Cush.  Again.

INTERCUT

INT. ATLANTA HOTEL SUITE — DAY

Avery in mid-conference with four other NFL men in background.

AVERY

YA-HOOOO-SIE!

It is the victory call of the competitive girl, and she falls back into a chair, kicking her expensive shoes onto the bed.  In the b.g. we see the hungry look of her male co-workers.  Part of them lusts after her.  The larger part knows she would demolish them, and pick her teeth with their bones.

JERRY

I know.  Sorry I threw a scare into our lives there —

 

AVERY

Don’t worry about it — I never told you what I thought of that memo either —

 

JERRY

Well, no you didn’t —

 

AVERY

You lost your head, it happens.

(quickly)

I’m so fuckin jazzed!  Listen.  I’m going to have to fly to Chicago tomorrow, how ’bout if we meet in the Dallas airport and we all fly into New York together for the draft?

 

JERRY

It’s a plan —

 

AVERY

I’ll set it up with your girl.  Woo!  This is when it’s good, Jerry.  Enjoy it.  Live it.  Love it.  And when I see you, I’m going to give you the best blow job of your life.

He hangs up, staring at the phone.  In the room with Avery, the co-workers look at each other.  She is far, far out of their league.

INT. DOROTHY’S CARE — LATER MORNING — DRIVING

Dorothy Boyd speeds Jerry to the airport, the electricity fills the car.  On the radio, a sports station debates the future of Cushman, as Jerry whips through a stack of sports pages.

DOROTHY

Avery’ll meet you at the B gate at 4:15.  Don’t be late.  Tidwell will already be there.

 

JERRY

(nods, to Ray)

Hey, man, you know they have big balloons built into cars?

 

RAY

No.

 

JERRY

They do, my brother.

 

RAY

(giggling)

I’m not your brother!

Dorothy continues, business on her mind.

DOROTHY

… I put Tidwell on the same floor at the Marriott Marquis.  I think it’s great you’re taking him to the draft.  He doesn’t smoke, right?

 

JERRY

I have no idea.

(continuing to Ray)

So Ray, if there’s an accident or something, it goes pwoooooooof —

(simulates air-bag)

— and you go booooong.  And you’re safe.

Jerry bounces against the imaginary balloon.  Ray is delighted by Jerry.  Dorothy notes that he’s great with her son.  She pats Jerry on the shoulder.  Her hand lingers perhaps a millisecond too long.  She pulls away quickly, always feeling on the edge of embarrassing herself around this guy.

DOROTHY

Okay, have we gone over everything?  Back on Tuesday, right?

 

JERRY

Yep.  Have a good time at school, Ray.  Wish me luck.

 

DOROTHY/RAY

LUCK!
