And Then Came Love Page #8

...and I'm going to freelance,

and I'm gonna marry Ted.

[SlGHS]

[SOOTHlNG MUSlC PLAYlNG]

Hey.

-Aw. I missed you so much.

-Missed you too.

Hey, I found this amazing little temple

in Shaanxi...

...where we could have

a traditional Buddhist ceremony.

-lt could be so beautiful.

-But we're not Buddhists.

And how would my friends get here?.

We could just throw another party here.

We could let your mother throw one.

Throw it at her country club.

Let her have her glory. And I spoke to my

travel agent about honeymoon packages.

-I'm thinking Thailand.

-Thailand?.

Yeah, it's beautiful this time of year.

You'd love it.

And I spoke with my friend

who sits on the board at Dalton.

Jake's as good as in.

Wow, you've taken care of everything,

haven't you?.

Well, I just wanna show you

that I'm totally committed.

What's the matter?.

Ted, I can't do this. I can't marry you.

I love you. I do. But l--

I can't.

Why not?. I mean, I'm talking

about changing my whole life for you.

And you would be miserable.

You don't know that.

-I thought this was what you wanted.

-I don't know what I want anymore.

-Why?. I mean, is there someone else?.

-No, no, it's not that.

Well, what?. Christ, Julie.

You gotta let someone in.

I know.

This isn't easy for me either,

but I really wanna try.

You know, I think you and l, we're so good

for each other in so many ways.

You're probably right.

Oh, come on. Come on, Julie.

You keep it.

[BELL RlNGS]

-Jake!

-Where is Paul?.

Mommy took the afternoon off.

We can do whatever you wanna do today.

He was gonna teach me to spitball.

Well, Paul is not gonna be

your babysitter anymore.

-Why, Mommy?.

-Let's go get some ice cream.

-He said he'd be here today.

JULlE:
Shh.

I know. It's not his fault but he got a job

and it's really, really far away from here.

But Mommy is gonna find you

the perfect new nanny.

-What about that?.

-It's not fair!

Well, I'm sorry.

Jake! Jake.

Jake, you stop!

[MUSlC PLAYlNG]

Jake, what are you doing?.

Turn this music down.

Oh, my God. You killed her.

She's just pretending.

Is it time to go home yet?.

Yes. It's time to go home.

Mom, it's me.

I need your help.

I miss Paul, Mommy.

Me too.

Come with Grandma, darling.

-Grandma, did you get cable yet?.

-What's that?. Go. Now, get out of here.

You've got those, dear?.

-Thanks, Ma, for doing this.

MONA:
Julie, darling...

...when you finish your tour...

...why don't you take a leave of absence

and let me take care of you too?.

I can't quit.

It's the only thing I know I'm good at.

Jake, you and Grandma

are gonna have a wonderful time...

...while Mommy's working.

JULlE:
"--prepared to close the door

for the last time.

He looked around the room,

wondering why it had taken him so long...

...to realize that it was time to leave."

Thank you.

Hey, mwah, thanks for coming.

I'm so glad we start with Manhattan,

kind of ease into the whole thing.

Nonsense. You're great.

Everybody loves you.

-That's because they don't know me. Hey.

-Wonderful.

But what a zoo. I almost came to blows

with a fellow patron of the arts.

And she was a real bruiser.

[ARTlE CHUCKLlNG]

-I hope you were fighting over my book.

-What else?.

Artie, this is a very good friend of mine,

Stuart Blakerman.

Nice to meet you.

Julie boring you with her humdrum life?.

Not at all. Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry, I'm half asleep. I stayed up

too late watching Emma on PBS.

-Me too. I'm a sucker for Austen.

-So am l.

Very pretty eyes. Very pretty eyes.

Yeah, very beautiful.

-Everything going all right?.

-Why wouldn't it be?.

Just checking.

May I speak to Jake, please.

Yes, of course.

Jake, come talk to your mother.

So I hear Artie came to the reading.

How did you find...?.

Yeah, it was sweet of him.

-Good catch, eh?.

-Absolutely.

MONA:

So where are you off to now?

Boston. Two readings.

-Boston.

- Yes, Boston.

Julie.

-Yes, Mom.

-Do what is best for the child.

-Mom, l--

-Julie.

Listen to your mother for once.

Talk to your mother.

Mommy.

[SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]

JULlE:
Excuse me.

-Yeah, what can I do for you?.

-ls Paul Cooper around?.

-Can I say who's inquiring?.

Julie Davidson

from Metropolitan Magazine.

One moment.

Hey, wait.

Yeah.

Um....

Could you tell him...?.

This is much harder

than I thought it would be.

If you want comp tickets,

I'm sure he'd be happy to help you.

It's not that. Um....

Thanks anyway.

WAlTRESS:
Hi, what can I get you?.

-Cappuccino, please.

WAlTRESS:
Sure, I'll be right back.

-Thanks.

PAUL:

Hey.

Mind if I join?.

You an angel or something?.

Hardly.

So, uh, how's Jake?.

He misses you. Bad.

So do l.

I miss him too.

And you.

[SlGHS]

Paul, I didn't mean to betray you.

I-- I just....

I wanted to know you.

For Jake, at first.

And later, for me.

It was wrong...

...and I've been trying to find a way

to say I'm sorry...

...and nothing's good enough.

Some writer, huh?.

So, what do we do now?.
