Eat with Me Page #2

We're not that kind

of restaurant.

The kind that makes money'?

Yo, yo, yo, what's up'?

What are you up to'?

Nothing.

Just cleaning the house.

For f***'s sake.

First you're cleaning

your husband's house,

now you're cleaning

your son's apartment'?

Don't you have

anything better to do'?

You know what'?

You're coming to my class.

What class?

You'll see.

Drop the garbage.

Yeah, Pm really sorry.

It's been really slow this week.

Next month for sure.

This is it. This is your

final chance right now.

- Okay.

- You've got one month.

Okay-

Hey, no smoking.

Sorry.

What the hell was that'?

F***ing banker.

Do we owe them money'?

Yeah.

Like, how much'?

Six months of mortgage.

What'? Six months'?

I was gonna

pay it off this week.

So that's how much'?

Are they gonna close us down'?

I don't know.

Crap.

Five, six, seven, eight.

All right, arms. Here we go.

Snap there, snap.

Whoo! Let me hear you!

Yeah!

Double time,

boom, boom, boom, boom.

Arms, snap it, snap it.

Mean it. Boom!

- Reach for the stars.

- And boom! That's right. Boom!

Or your ex-husbands

new girlfriend's face.

Come on now.

- What's happening here'?

- What's happening'?

Something's happening here.

Something's happening here.

- Keep on moving.

- That's right.

Love it.

Boom, and boom. Boom.

And I want your legs out.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Here comes the booty shake.

Arms up.

Booty shake. Booty shake.

That butt's not

gonna shake itself.

- Slow it down. Slow it down.

- I'm shaking it.

Slow it down.

I found these

in his jacket yesterday.

Why are you carrying

them around in your purse'?

Do you think he's promiscuous'?

I don't know. Do you'?

I don't know.

I wouldn't know how to ask him.

I don't want to embarrass him.

Why are you such a prude'?

I'm not.

Really?

I just think

there are certain things

that we don't

need to talk about.

Well, then why are you

so obsessed with his sex life'?

I'm just worried about him.

What, that he's having fun'?

No, that he's being safe.

Well, now at least

you know he is.

Or he was,

until you stole his condoms.

Listen, I used to have

a very healthy sex life...

I mean, a very, very healthy

sex life, you know'?

It was back in the day when

everyone was doing somebody.

I got a lot of attention,

you know.

That's why

I couldn't stay married.

You were married'?

Yeah, once.

What happened'?

I feel like my body

actually physically rejected it.

It was like I would get

these rashes, you know'?

I mean, I think it's inhumane

to make someone

stick with one tree

when there's a huge forest

out there... huge.

You're giving me a headache.

Look.

If your son is getting laid

a lot, that means he's happy.

Don't you wish you could say

the same thing about yourself'?

I'm happy.

You are'?

Why is this about me now'?

Because it's never

really about you, is it'?

But it isn't.

That's my point exactly.

I'm Ian.

Elliot.

Can I bum one'?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You got a lighter'?

Cheers.

Do you live around here'?

Yeah.

What do you do'?

- I cook at a restaurant.

- Wow. Brilliant.

What do you do'?

I'm in the band.

Yeah.

Look, we don't have to do

all this if you don't want to.

What?

I get it.

You're not into it. It's okay.

What do you mean'?

Look at you. You're physically

moving away from me right now.

We could just walk away

like nothing's happened.

I'm not normally that guy,

but I can do it.

Or'?

Or we can just talk

like two adults.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Here.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Hey, I gotta tell you,

I had a weird dream last night.

I dreamt that I was finally

in labor, so I was so excited.

But then it lasted for hours and

hours and I was in so much pain.

And then the baby

finally came out, and...

And what'?

And it was you.

What are you talking about'?

It's true... your face,

your body, your clothes

all drenched in blood

and gooey and stuff.

What's wrong with you'?

I know. It was horrible.

Now I have this image

of your gooey vagina in my head.

Well, in my dream,

the moment I saw your face,

I was so horrified

that I threw you

across the room.

And then you got

splooshed on the wall,

and then you

started dripping down.

That's disgusting.

I know.

Look, it's just a stupid dream.

But I couldn't stop

thinking about it.

It just made me realize

I can't let that happen.

Let what happen'?

Look, Elliot.

Tom left when I got pregnant

because he couldn't deal.

But I dealt with it.

I'm taking care of myself

and soon I'll need

to take care of this baby.

I can't take care of you too.

Don't worry.

I'll think of something.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you okay'?

Yeah.

Don't you have to go to work'?

No.

Can I ask you a favor'?

Yeah. What'?

Can you show me how

to make those dumplings

you used to make at home'?

Yeah, sure.

Is that how you pinch it'?

Yeah. Why'? What do you mean'?

You have to pinch like this.

How's that different'?

That way it doesn't open up

when you cook it.

You really think people

are gonna like these dumplings'?

It's not too old-fashioned'?

Yeah.

Who doesn't like dumplings'?

That's true.

You really do need

a better menu.

I can't believe people

eat that stuff you make.

You know,

you're really hard to please.

That's not true.

I am very easygoing.

Yeah, you're right.

Hey, it's Elliot.

Yeah, me too.

. Hey-. Hey-

The door was open.

Yeah, come on in.

I want you to try something.

Okay.

Careful, it's hot.

Too late.

Wow, this is really good.

Thanks.

The whole glass.

What?

Trust me.

It's gonna help you relax.

- Happy?

- Much better.

Do you want to try'?

Sure.

Like that.

Okay.

I take it you've

never done this before.

Actually I can bake some

pretty damn good cookies.

Break-and-bake?

F*** off.

Actually I don't know

how to bake at all.

Missing some kind

of gene for that.

Well, if you're lucky,

maybe one day I'll show you how.

You'll get it.

Hey.

I'm gonna pick some things up.

Okay, I'm gonna go.

Would you like some tea'?

Okay.

It's open.

Yoo-hoo!

Hey, it's you.

What are you doing'?

Nothing.

Just seeing what you're doing.

I was just about to sit down

for some dinner.

Come on in.

I'll make you a plate.

Are you sure'?

Of course. Where's Elliot'?

I don't know.

I think at the restaurant.

Alright, I'll be right down.

Thank you.

That was really delicious.

Thanks.

What'? Are you all right'?

Yeah, yeah. I just...

What?

I don't know.

It's just a bit unexpected,

is all.

What is'?

I really like you.

I... I just don't know.

Okay.

I mean,

I have a lot of fun with you.

Yeah.

Hey.

I think I should probably go.

So this husband of yours...

what's his problem'?

Did he hit you'?

No.

Did he cheat on you'?

No.

I don't think so.

No.

Did you cheat on him'?

No.

All right, I'm just asking.

You don't know until you ask.

I don't know what his deal is.

My ex...

he was so amazingly handsome.

He was tall

and had this great chest

with hair just long enough
