Eat with Me Page #4

Very good.

We have some fresh raspberry

since we're doing

raspberry jam inside.

Harder.

Is that what we're doing'?

- Do you want more'?

- Yes, yes, yes.

We're ready to eat.

That's the best part.

Can you taste the difference...

the jam,

the raspberry and the ganache'?

This music

feels so good.

Right'? I told you.

I wish I knew how to dance.

You're... look at you.

You're, you know...

you're dancing, you know.

What?

You just got there, didn't you'?

Yay! You just... welcome.

Come here. Welcome.

You just got there.

I am so glad

that you are my friend.

- I'm sorry I yelled at you.

- No, no, no, no, no.

This is just the most

insane thing I've ever done.

I know.

Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

I know.

You know,

I've been thinking about him.

Elliot?

Ray.

My gosh, your husband'?

Yeah. I don't know why.

I mean, he's your husband.

That's gotta be something.

I know, but he used to make

me so angry, you know'?

He was always like...

I wonder if you saw him now,

he would still make you...

"I want to...

you're making me so mad!"

No, don't.

No, negative thought.

Change it. Change the thought.

We're high as f***.

He's not a bad guy.

He's not, you know.

He's the father of my son

and he's always

gonna be a part of me.

My... yes, yes.

But I just wish that

he wasn't such an a**hole.

I wish Elliot was here.

I love Elliot.

- I'm gonna call him.

- No, no, no.

Text him.

Really?

Yeah.

You don't know how to text,

do you'?

I'll do it for you.

I'll do it for you.

Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

Did you have fun'?

- Yeah, great time.

- Absolutely.

Okay, great. I'll just wrap

these two for you to take home.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

I bet hers

tastes better than ours.

That's weird.

What is'?

My mom texted me.

Why is that weird'?

She never texts me.

She's out dancing

with my neighbor.

What?

Your mom is a riot.

We should go join them.

Wait,

do you live with your mom'?

No, no. She's just temporarily

staying with me.

Okay.

Hey, do you want to come over'?

Is your mom out'?

Yeah.

Let's go.

God, I feel like

I'm in secondary school again.

Come on.

Maureen, I love you.

I love you too, sweetie.

I love you.

Okay, all right, off you go.

Off you go.

Off you go. You go.

Bye.

Bye.

Hey.

Hey.

I think my mom might

have seen us last night.

Really?

Yeah.

Is she still here'?

I don't know.

I haven't been out there yet.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Okay, get dressed.

I'll go out there first.

All right.

Hey.

Hey.

You're up already.

Hi. I'm Ian.

Hi.

I made some coffee.

I heard you're a great cook.

No. Not at all.

Well, you certainly

taught Elliot really well.

His dumplings are amazing.

It was nothing.

What?

He made them for me

the other night.

Really, they were so good.

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Maybe she just needs some air.

I'm sure she'll come back soon.

I shouldn't have brought

you here. That was a mistake.

I'm sorry.

I can't believe I fell asleep.

Elliot, I'm sure

she'll come around.

You don't know her.

Bloody hell,

what just happened'?

You know,

you don't have to stay.

What'? No, no,

that's not what I meant.

I've never asked you

for anything. This is...

it's just a...

I don't know what this is.

Elliot, stop.

I know what you're trying to do.

It's not going to work.

I can't do this.

What the f***'?

What does it mean'?

No, no, no, no. We're so close.

I thought we had more time.

So am I out of a job'?

F***.

No, no, no. This can't be it.

It says here

if you pay within the week,

you can get the place back.

How are we gonna pay them

without a restaurant'?

A bake sale'?

Hi. Do you have chocolate'?

Sorry, you scared me.

Thank you.

A bad day?

I hear you.

These kids can sure

brighten the mood.

Are any of them yours'?

No.

No, they're my grand-nephews.

I'm too old to have kids.

My husband

is enough of a handful.

Any of these kids yours'?

No.

My son is not a child anymore.

Well, congrats to you.

That's a great achievement.

I'm George. What's your name'?

Emma.

I just miss

when he was that age.

What seems to be the matter?

I walked in

on my son and a man

in bed this morning.

Wow.

And how do you feel about it'?

Just confused and...

I don't know what to do.

I take it you don't know

a lot of gay people.

And I'm assuming you're

not very comfortable with it.

Sorry.

Don't apologize.

You're not the first one.

You don't think I have

lived through seventy-six years

without taking some guff'?

So was life tough for you'?

At times.

But other times, it's amazing.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Maureen!

Come in.

Hey, Elliot.

What's the matter'?

Have you seen my mom'?

No, no, I've been

at work all day. Why'?

She just ran out

earlier this morning

and I haven't

talked to her all day.

Why would she run away'?

Just something stupid.

But you were with her

last night, right'?

Did she seem okay'?

Yeah, she seemed...

she seemed fine,

you know, even this morning.

Okay, don't panic.

Don't freak out.

But last night, you mom may

have taken a couple of Aspirin.

Why would that matter'?

And those Aspirin may

have actually been ecstasy.

What are you talking about'?

It was an accident.

It was an accident.

But she was fine.

And then, you know what'?

We had a really good time.

And it was great,

but maybe now she's coming down.

How do you take ecstasy

by accident'?

In my defense,

I told her to spit them out,

and she was adamant

about swallowing.

I'm really... I'm sorry.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you all right'?

I'm okay.

Just went for a walk.

I'm sorry about last night.

Remember when you first

learned how to swim'?

Yeah.

You were about seven.

You had the worst asthma then.

It was the most awful thing.

We took you

to every doctor in town.

We even tried an acupuncturist

and it didn't even work.

But then you learned

how to swim.

And I got better'?

Yeah, you did, almost instantly.

I felt like you'd died

and came back again.

But even with all that

that happened,

it still wouldn't

compare to this,

now.

Back then, I always felt like

I could figure things out.

Now I feel like I have

no idea how to raise you.

Why didn't you talk to me

about this before'?

Because I didn't...

because I don't

want it to be real.

What?

I don't want to lose you.

Why would you lose me'?

I can take care of myself.

Can you'?

I'm gonna lose the restaurant.

What?

I couldn't pay the mortgage.

But you told me

everything was okay.

I didn't want to tell you

because I know how much

the restaurant means to you.

Why would you think that'?

It's your brother's.

Elliot, he's dead now.

He's been dead for a long time.

All I want

is for you to be happy.

You don't have to keep

the place if you don't want to.

I want to.

Are you sure'?

Yeah.

Is he good to you... Ian'?

Yeah, he is.

Was.

What happened'?

It's over now.

Why'? Is it because of me'?

No.

It's because I'm an idiot.

Hi, this is Ian.

Leave me a message.
