42 Seconds of Happiness Page #3

Well, we'll see about that.

[Maria] Tomas?

An hour.

I love you.

I'm so glad you're here.

All right, well.

I guess she's already invited, right?

(Slamming drawers)

F***.

Hey, Tracy, it's Felice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How's Logan doing?

Okay, good, yeah.

Good.

Did you mark it on the chart?

Good.

Yeah, no, just as long as I can see it when I get back,

that's good.

Can I talk to Nina before she...

Hi, honey.

Hey, muffin.

Yeah.

Yes.

And did you show her your dinos?

Good.

Very good.

I love you, baby.

'Kay.

Sweet dreams.

[Tomas] This is the dinner party we were waiting for.

[Ike] Clean, clean, clean.

[Tomas] Uh, you need more wine, miss,

and oh, is it rude if I pour it for myself first?

(Muffled chatter)

Who is Ben?

What is she doing?

Come and join with us.

Ben, Ben. Come on, Ben.

Come on, don't be a douche.

Oh, yes, Ben.

There he is.

Hey, Ben, why don't you take my seat, buddy?

Yay, now the party can start.

Ben is here.

Plates. Tomas needs a plate.

Don't let this escape you, sir.

Ben, I hate to see a growing boy with an empty plate.

[Ike] So what is the deal with this hurricane?

[Maria] Yes, what is the deal with this hurricane?

Who knows?

I haven't been watching, I haven't been paying attention.

Out of sight, out of mind, is what I say.

[Felice] Toast, to the happy couple!

[All] To the happy couple!

(Cheering)

Eye contact, eye contact. Eye contact.

To great times, everyone.

May they get even better and better and better, and better.

Eye contact.

[Ike] You don't want to be the cause

of your sibling having seven years of bad sex.

(Tomas imitates horror movie bassline)

You look great.

The food is delicious.

The things we tell ourselves.

[Tomas] Yeah, the things we do tell ourselves, right?

Is this sign language going on?

What's going on between you?

Oh, she just has something in her teeth,

and I was just trying to discreetly point it out to her.

(Laughter)

Nothing discreet at this table.

[Maria] Thank you, Ben.

[Tomas] Let's all thank Ben.

[Ike] Why are we thanking Ben?

I hope to thank Ben for something.

[Ike] That is not the wine going to her cheeks.

That is all her.

No, no.

You might be.

[Woman] Go for it, Vin. There you go.

This is delicious.

We're on the post-baby weight cleanse.

No cooking, no like, refined sugars in the apartment.

We're doing it together.

Trying to keep, trying to get that figure back, huh?

I tell, I tell her she looks great,

but she's intent on getting back.

We are on it together.

[Tomas] Come on, we all know.

Everyone, you want to get back to the...

[Ike] All right, all right, sir.

[Tomas] What, what, what?

Why are you picking on her?

We're all friends, right?

Right, we're all friends?

[Vineke] Well, we did cheer us extensively.

We clinked a lot in the aisle.

It was Cybil, a Cybil sex question.

[Cybil] When I'm drunk enough.

Well, keep going, sweetheart. We're here.

[Cybil] I don't drink.

My sister would never pick someone who didn't drink.

Woah.

Are you saying I have to be drunk to be with her?

Is that what you're saying?

No, no, I would never say that to my sister.

She's not trying to have sex with me.

None of your business.

Come on.

You're not afraid of sex, right?

[Ike] That's sweet.

That is sweet.

Really, really, I'm not talking to my brother about this.

Okay, okay, how long, how long have...

I hope they have something very short for you.

How long has it been since the last time?

Come on.

Come on. What?

We're all friends here.

Come on.

Okay, I'll start.

I'll start, I'll start, I'll start, I'll start.

[Cybil] I don't really know...

Alis and I hadn't had sex for two years.

Beat it.

[Ike] Okay, um, that's not that bad, man.

What?

This is so inappropriate.

[Tomas] Oh, so inappropriate, Vineke,

[Ike] No, you know what's, what's inappropriate,

because, Vineke thinks that's inappropriate.

Two f***ing years, come on, beat it.

Could I not know this about my brother?

Your turn.

Okay, Tomas.

When did Peter leave?

[Cybil] We were doing so well, you guys.

Two f***ing years, okay?

That was my answer, so...

Two not-f***ing years, right?

Two not-f***ing years.

Anyway.

It's like, didn't anyone ever give you one of those books

where it's like...

[Cybil] How to have a successful dinner party?

Ask massively awkward questions, drink a lot of wine,

and make damn sure there is spaghetti on the table.

It was massive in its import.

[Cybil] Obviously, you have not read those books.

[Ike] Tomas, I will field this one.

Don't worry.

Ben, can I ask you a question?

(Muffled speech)

(Wind chimes jingle)

- Yes, that's, no.

- [Woman] Oh my god.

[Ike] No, seriously though.

[Cybil] Seriously, enough.

What? He can answer.

Ben's a big boy.

Stop with the lockdown here, okay?

Relax.

[Woman] You're kind of a bully.

[Tomas] No, I've never known anybody who killed anybody,

and I just wanted to know what happened.

Yeah, well, I'm about to kill you, okay?

I just was asking a question!

It's not a rude question,

I just want to know.

[Ike] It's kind of a...

[Maria] It was a rude question.

- [Ike] I mean.

- [Tomas] Come on, Maria.

Don't, Ben can answer it.

He's a big boy.

[Maria] He shouldn't have to.

[Ben] Why do you wanna know?

What?

[Ben] Why do you wanna know?

[Tomas] I wanted to know what that's like.

[Ben] You want to know what it feels like.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, brother.

'Kay.

Why don't you go enlist yourself and find out?

[Maria] There you go.

[Ike] Point taken, see?

Thank you very much for answering my question.

[Ike] It's all downhill from here, right?

[Cybil] Ease on down the aisle.

Well, we're getting there, either way.

That's good.

[Woman] Good idea.

Why don't you go f***ing enlist yourself?

Try to sleep, all right?

I'm getting a lot of,

- a lot of static.

- [Ike] A lot of static.

[Tomas] What's wrong?

[Maria] Take it down a notch, Tomas.

Just, it's a party.

This is the party before the party, right?

Come on, come on, my sister, come on.

You're getting married! Celebrate!

Yeah, I'm trying,

but every time I turn around you're insulting!

I'm not, I'm not insulting.

We're all friends here.

[Maria] You insulted how I grew up,

you were insulting sex,

you're insulting, I don't know.

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine.

I don't need any more.

I don't need any more.

Tomas, I don't need any more wine. Thank you.

[Woman] Irresponsible kind of a man.

I will have a talk with him.

Did you get finished with everything you need to do,

Ben, or are we keeping you?

What?

Aw, Vineke. Was it something I said?

Yeah, probably.

Vineke's a big girl.

Ooh, ooh, oh.

Oh, wow.

It was worth it.

No, if you had heard what she said,

it was totally worth it.

[Maria] Stop insulting my friend, all right?

[Tomas] All right, I'm sorry.

Let's talk about your wedding, right?

Big day coming, right?

Are you excited?
