Gangster/bootlegger Gatsby buys a West Egg mansion to which society flocks for endless parties. Daisy and Jay were in love eleven years earlier but Jay went overseas in World War I and Daisy married wealthy Tom Buchanan. Gatsby hopes to rekindle the love with Daisy. When Daisy runs over Tom's mistress (Myrtle, the wife of Wilson who runs the garage down the road) Gatsby offers to take the blame. Written by Ed Stephan
isy Buchanan: I love you now. Isn't that enough?
lfsheim: You like my cuff buttons? ck Carraway: Ivory? lfsheim: Human molars. ck Carraway: ...Unique.
ck Carraway: Is something happening? rdan Baker: Tom's got a woman in New York. You surprised? ck Carraway: Actually I'm more surprised that he was depressed by a book.
ck Carraway: Your place looks like the World's Fair.
l Eyes: [At Gatsby's funeral] I couldn't get to the house. ck Carraway: Neither could anybody else. l Eyes: Why my God, they used to go there by the hundreds. Poor son of a bitch. ck Carraway: [Narrating] Daisy hadn't sent a message or a flower. Poor son of a bitch.
y Gatsby: This was a terrible mistake. ck Carraway: You're just embarrassed. Daisy's embarrassed too. y Gatsby: She's embarrassed? ck Carraway: You're acting like a little boy. Not only that, you're rude. Daisy's sitting in there all alone.
ck Carraway: You can't repeat the past. y Gatsby: Can't repeat the past? Of course you can!
l Eyes: What do you think? rdan Baker: About what? l Eyes: About THAT. rdan Baker: Books? l Eyes: They're real. Here. Let me show you. They have pages in them. See? A bonafide piece of printed matter. It fooled me. I've been drunk for about a week and I thought a library would sober me up. rdan Baker: Did it help? l Eyes: I can't tell you. I've only been here an hour.
ck Carraway: [First lines] [narrating] In my younger and more vulnerable years, my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. "Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages you've had." While reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope, I've come to admit that my tolerance of human behavior has its limits. Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this story, represented everything for which I have an unaffected scorn. And yet there was something gorgeous about him. Some hightened sensitivity to the promises of life, a romantic readiness such as I've never found in any other person and which it is not likely I'll ever find again.
ck Carraway: The history of that summer really begins when I drove across the bay to the more fashionable East Egg to have dinner with the Buchanans. Daisy was my second cousin once removed and I'd known Tom in college. His family was enormously wealthy and he'd been one of the most powerful ends that ever played football at Yale. He and Daisy had spent a year in France drifting aimlessly among the rich. "This was to be a permanent move," Daisy told me over the telephone. But I didn't believe her.
isy Buchanan: So how are things in Chicago? Do they miss me? ck Carraway: There's a persistant wail of mourning all along the north shore. isy Buchanan: Oh how gorgeous! Let's go back, Tom, tomorrow.
rdan Baker: You're from the Midwest. Can't you distract us with some insight about crops?
ck Carraway: [Narrating] I'd been drunk just twice in my life and the second time was that afternoon. So everything that happened had a dim, hazy cast over it.
y Gatsby: Your face is familiar. 3rd Division? ck Carraway: 9th Machine Gun Batallion. y Gatsby: 7th Infantry until June of '18. I know I'd seen you before.
ck Carraway: [about Wolfsheim] That's an interesting guy. What is he, a dentist? y Gatsby: No, he's a gambler. [quietly] He fixed the 1919 World Series.
y Gatsby: You want anything, you just ask for it, old sport. ck Carraway: 'Old sport.' Who is this guy? rdan Baker: Just Gatsby. ck Carraway: Where's he from? rdan Baker: I hear he's an Oxford man, although I don't believe it. ck Carraway: No? Why? rdan Baker: I just don't think he went there. Anyhow he gives large parties and I like large parties. They're so intimate. At small parties there's never any privacy.
rdan Baker: When I first met you, Daisy came up to my room later and woke me. She wanted to know what Gatsby. When I described him, she said in the strangest voice it must be a man she knew. Then it all came back to me. They knew each other in Louisville five years ago. We ran with different crowds then but I remember seeing them together once in her car. And I remember he looked at her in that way that all young girls want to be looked at sometime. ck Carraway: A strange coincidence. rdan Baker: It wasn't a coincidence at all. I think he half expected her to wander into one of his parties some night. She never did. ck Carraway: What do you mean? rdan Baker: Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay. He wants to know if you'll invite her over to your house some afternoon and let him come over. ck Carraway: Why didn't he ask you to arrange a meeting? rdan Baker: He wants her to see his house, and your house is right next door.
isy Buchanan: [looking at her bruised finger] Oh, look. I hurt it. Tom did it. Oh, you did do it even if you didn't mean to. That's what I get for marrying a brute like you. A great hulking specimen of a man. m Buchanan: I hate the word 'hulking'. Even in kidding. isy Buchanan: Hulking.
isy Buchanan: So why did you ask me to come alone? Are you in love with me? ck Carraway: [chuckles] No. isy Buchanan: [Walks into the house] Oh! Flowers! Are we having a funeral? isy Buchanan: [hears Gatsby knocking on the door] And that must be the corpse!
