Between Us Page #6
It's probably out
of my price range.
I doubt that.
Hey, whatever happened
with that Romario exhibit?
It, uh, got canceled. Why?
Well, Romario
is a psychopath.
His wife left him,
so he pulled out,
and without Romario
there's no show.
And without the show,
you know...
[GRUNTS]
That sucks.
Yeah, it did suck.
Do you ever get anxious when
girls pair off like that?
You know, when they do something
that we should want to do.
Something that we should like to do, like...
stare at a sleeping baby.
Why would I wanna stare at a sleeping baby?
[CHUCKLES]
You know
what we should do?
We should both go in there a little
later on, play a joke on 'em.
Shock 'em.
You should say,
"Can I take a peek?"
And then I'll say,
"Sure."
And then I'll follow you
in there.
Want to do that?
[CHUCKLING]
Are you all right, Carlo?
Are you doing all right?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I am.
But now that, uh...
[EXHALES]
That story you told me,
I got so upset...
Look, it happened.
I was moved.
I know, but years from now you
that that whole story
was bullshit.
No. No. Yes. Yes, you are.
You're gonna confess to me that
whole story was a load of crap.
It wasn't a story.
If I'm religious at all,
if I'm spiritual,
if I can even say that with a
straight face... you know me and my...
If I can do any of this,
it's because of poignancy.
Because of poignancy?
There are moments when life distills
itself very tightly, just for a second.
Something moves me, something...
tells me that I can go on.
That I should go on.
That I want to go on.
What is that thing?
[LAUGHING]
I can't do it.
- Jesus.
- That... That is a luxury.
- A-A luxury?
- A wealthy man's luxury.
What? What is that
supposed to mean?
Look, Joel, a lot of people
here on Earth...
grand to pay for bills.
We don't have time to stare at our navels
and listen to men in confessionals.
- You feel me?
- Okay, fair enough.
All right.
What's wrong, Carlo?
I'm fine.
Come on. You can tell me.
Hey, I'm... I'm fine.
Okay.
I don't know.
You just seem...
It's money.
[SHARYL] Hello, beautiful.
He looks like Carlo.
[CHUCKLES]
Hello, beautiful.
Yes, you're beau...
Handsome. You're handsome.
You did good, Grace.
Thanks.
You did good.
Did Daddy
wake you up?
Did Daddy wake you up
from your nap?
It's all right.
Yeah.
[WHIMPERS]
This is Auntie Sharyl.
[CRYING]
Ohh!
He's my little man.
[CARLO]
Our debt is crushing us.
Yeah, Gracie had to leave school
and go back to her restaurant job.
It's... I don't know.
Student loans
and credit cards...
and going out
a lot at night,
trying to keep up
appearances.
I said that it would all
work itself out, but...
You paid off
all your student loans?
Yeah.
I haven't sold
a photograph in...
Jesus.
I'm sorry.
Well, not as sorry
as my wife.
[LAUGHS]
I can get you an interview
with my agency.
I told myself
How much money...
I- I wanted to call you a
couple of months ago, but...
Gracie, she...
she wouldn't let me.
Oh, so sweet.
Breathing in and out
so fast.
Did the delivery boy come yet?
No.
[CAR HORNS HONKING]
Oh, God. That I don't
miss about New York.
I'm beginning to hate it here myself.
Beginning?
You hate New York?
Everyone is always
moving, moving, moving,
and-and we... we just seem
to... we seem to be stuck.
But the rest of the world, forget about it.
They love New York.
T- shirts and Taipei.
"I Love New York."
It's disgusting.
I still
love the city.
Well, you're from here.
So?
So you have to say it.
I have to?
That's a stupid thing
to say.
Oh, can I take a peek?
What?
Can I take a peek?
Can you take...
[WHISPERING] Can I take a peek?
Yes, of-of course.
Please. Of course.
What in God's name
are they doing?
I don't know.
Taking a peek, I guess.
Yeah.
They don't do that.
Well, I guess they do.
Now what?
Mmm.
I don't know. I think we just wait in
here until they're very uncomfortable.
Then we go
back out there.
Ah, you know what?
I remember this age.
It goes by really fast.
[MOUTHS WORDS]
[SLURPING]
[SIGHS]
You guys seem happy.
We are.
It's nice to see.
I'm really sorry
for what happened that night.
Oh, I know.
[COFFEE POURING]
So what are you
up to now?
Oh, um, I'm running
the local arts council.
That's nice. Mmm. It's
really nice actually.
I've been meaning to ask Carlo if maybe he wants
to come in and run a seminar for the week.
I'm sure
he'd be flattered.
We had fun,
the four of us.
Joel says he misses that.
Misses you guys.
W- We miss you guys.
Oh!
Almost forgot.
I got a present
for the little one.
Aren't you
gonna open it?
Shouldn't I wait to open it
in front of the baby?
Oh. Okay.
I'll open it now.
Thank you.
Are you guys...
having any more kids?
[SIGHS]
I, uh...
I can't have any more.
[LAUGHING]
Is that funny?
Oh, God, no.
No. Oh, God...
I'm sorry.
Is that funny?
No, no, no, no, no, no.
[LAUGHING CONTINUES]
No. No.
No, it's...
It's just that
you can't have any more,
and I don't want any more.
Then don't
have any more.
I'm pregnant.
But I'm not having it.
[SIGHS]
we can't afford it.
Oh, my God.
It's hard for me
to admit this, but...
I don't love being a mom.
It gets easier after
Don't tell me that!
I don't want advice.
What do you want me
to say?
Don't you ever
Angry?
Taking care of your baby?
Well... a little.
But it passes.
I- I-I feel grateful.
I... I had a rea...
really bad day
last week.
Do you wanna get
a soda?
You wanna get a soda?
You wanna get
[BABY LAUGHING] Look
I could just eat them up.
I'm just gonna eat your fingers.
They're so tasty.
They're so tasty!
Mmm-mmm-mmm!
What if I bite them off?
[CRYING]
Oh, no. Oh, God.
Don't cry.
No, no. It's okay.
Shh-shh-shh.
I just can't listen to you cry anymore.
Yes. No. Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, you're laughing at me now?
Don't you f***ing laugh at me.
Because I'll shake you. I'll shake
you, and then you'll stop crying.
I'm not joking. I'll shake you,
and then you'll stop crying.
And then I won't have to listen
to you crying ever again. No. No.
[KISSES]
What?
[BABY WHIMPERS]
I mean,
don't get me wrong.
I... love my little boy.
But sometimes,
when I'm alone in the shower,
the next flight to anywhere...
[DOOR OPENS]
Oh, my God.
So cute.
So sweet.
He's breathing in and out.
[SHARYL] Go on. Mock me.
I would never.
Never.
- Did you miss me?
- Wow, you guys seem so, uh...
Repaired.
Yeah,
I guess we are.
[CARLO]
Ugh. Revolting.
- [CHUCKLES] - Blech.
- [JOEL] Sorry.
- You don't even have a 20 for the delivery boy?
- I spent all I had on the shake.
