Chloe Page #2

No.

What would you like?

I'll have a Chardonnay, please.

Do you want to buy me a drink?

What do you like?

What are you having?

Here you are.

Another Chardonnay

for her, please.

Sure.

I don't usually meet with women.

Couples, yes,

but... a single woman...

Thank you.

I think my husband would like you.

Do you choose his women for him?

No.

- He can't come in himself?

- No.

Why not?

What's your name?

It's Chloe.

My husband's cheating on me.

At least I think he is.

I want to find out.

See what he does

if you present yourself to him.

Most of my clients are married.

He's not the client.

What does he look like?

He's tall, strong...

He has chestnut hair.

He's very handsome.

David usually has lunch

at the Caf Diplomatico.

And he's almost always reading

the newspaper.

If he asks

what I do for a living...

...what do you want me to say?

Say you're a student,

studying to be an interpreter.

Do you speak any other languages?

Some Japanese.

Okay.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Can I borrow your sugar?

Sure.

Thank you.

Did you not recognize me?

I wasn't sure.

I saw him.

Just like you said,

he had his newspapers right there and

I went up asked him for his sugar.

And he pretended to

read his newspapers.

And he got up and came over to me

and asked me if I was a student.

And I said that I was studying language,

like you told me to, Japanese.

And he asked me if I could

say something in Japanese,

which made me blush.

And I ended up just saying, "Konichiwa."

And then he asked me

what my name was and I said Chloe.

Okay. That's okay.

Nothing happened.

Except that he approached you

and he spoke to you.

Pretty girl, cafe...

He barely flirted.

He was just friendly.

He's cute.

How do you do this?

I try to find something to

love in everybody.

Even if it's a small thing.

Something about

the way someone smiles.

There's always something.

There has to be.

I try to make myself generous.

I do things I don't want to do.

I think about

what not to criticize.

And the strangest things

come back to me.

Like?

You.

Me?

Yeah.

Yeah, people like you

walk into my life.

The money's in the envelope.

I want to do this one more time

just to see what he does.

And then we'll stop, okay?

Okay.

Look, Michael, it's not like

we're engaged. Okay?

If there are other guys,

it's got nothing to do with you.

Alright. I need to see you, okay?

This... this is weird.

You are seeing me.

I mean... I mean face-to-face.

This is... this is f***ed.

I know but, look, we are

face-to-face. Let's just...

Look, people don't just break up

with each other out of nowhere, okay?

I know there's someone else.

I just... I don't think that...

Graduation's coming up, you know, Michael.

I just... I don't want to feel

tied down by you or anything.

F***! Mom!

Who were you on with?

One of my students.

We were done anyway.

Our little boy's being dumped.

How do you know?

I don't know

what bothers me more--

that he's sleeping with her

or that he isn't.

Did you speak to him?

He doesn't talk to me.

Catherine,

this is going to be okay.

I don't know how to be

his mother anymore.

He's going to be fine.

He's in therapy.

He's going to be?

Did you know his girlfriend

was sleeping over?

Come on.

You remember what it was like.

Hey! What do you say we...

what do you say we taste this?

No. I... I have a headache.

- Well, take an Advil.

- I did.

Take 2.

Boy.

Nectar.

Thank you for the scotch.

And thank you

for defecting party.

I love your smile.

No, you don't.

When did we stop picking

each other up at the airport?

I don't know.

And waiting for each other

at the gate?

I'm trying to remember when...

when it happened.

When they upped security.

I'm serious.

I don't know.

We just got so busy.

What?

I've got 30 papers to read

and comment on by tomorrow.

Yeah. You should...

you should get to work.

Are you okay?

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, Dad...

It's kind of crazy,

you know, when...

when and I met, it was like

I've never really felt that way

about anyone. She totally just kind of,

I mean, you... Dad, did you

feel that way like about Mom?

Like, was that how

it was when you guys met?

I used to make you tell me that story over

and over again about how you two met.

She was the most beautiful woman

you'd ever seen.

That she was everything

that you weren't...

There you are.

Hey! They're amazing.

Sorry. I think...

I think I was going through some...

some weird form of insecurity

or a mid-life crisis or something

but let's just forget this

whole thing happened.

- Well, I already did.

- Forget it?

No. I already saw him.

You saw him? Where?

I was at the caf and I...

I approached him like you asked me to,

and we went to lunch.

You... wait, you had lunch

with my husband?

Yeah, it was a picnic,

kind of.

We bought some sandwiches.

And then I asked him

about his teaching

and he started talking

about his music.

And he kind of stared at me.

And then what?

And then he asked me

if he could kiss me.

I didn't ask you to do that.

But then he said he could not

kiss me because he's married.

You see?

At first he was hesitant.

At first?

And then he asked me

if there was somewhere

he could kiss me where

no one would see us.

And...

I said to him that we

should go to Allen Gardens.

You know that place down the street

with the big... big greenhouse?

Do you want me to stop?

No.

We walked through this big long

corridor with all these exotic flowers.

There was nobody around.

I love Allen Gardens.

It's always so warm.

And the air just feels

so beautiful.

It's like you're suddenly

in a different country.

I knew there's a place in the back,

where they keep tools and stuff.

No one ever goes to

that section.

It's like a secret hiding place.

He brought his mouth up

to my lips

and we hovered there

for a long time.

I could feel he was

excited through his pants.

That's enough.

You were supposed to meet up

with my husband

and see what he did and

then report back to me.

I don't really know

what you want.

I shouldn't have involved

you in this. I made a mistake.

Damn it!

God, I'm so sorry. I was just

trying to get out of this spot.

Is your...

is your bumper okay?

I'm sorry. Would you mind

moving up just a little?

Do you carry that bag

with you in the car?

You never know

when you might need it.

Actually, let's not cut it.

Sorry.

I'm...

I'm going to take them off.

Just hold that to stop the

bleeding, okay?

I'm sorry.

You think it will scar?

No. It shouldn't.

We were hidden, deep in this

forest of exotic plants and trees.

And we could hear voices

in the distance

but we were pretty sure no one

could actually see us.

And I pushed my hand down

his pants and felt him.

And then I...

I moved my hand lightly on him.

Right.

And then I kept doing this.

Moving my hand on him

in his pants.

And he said to me, "I can't come.

I can't come. I have to go to work."
