Elevator Girl Page #5

KATHERINE SAID:

YOU BLEW OFF CYNTHIA.

WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

FIRST OF ALL,

I DID NOT BLOW HER OFF, OKAY?

SHE UNDERSTOOD.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S UPSET.

SECONDLY, NICK,

WHAT IS THERE TO BREAK UP?

WE WENT ON ONE DATE.

TECHNICALLY, IT WAS TWO.

YEAH, POINT TAKEN.

YOU ARE BEING:

A SORE LOSER.

I GUESS SOMEONE ELSE WAS

A BETTER MATCHMAKER THAN YOU.

- WHO?

- JONATHAN.

JONATHAN CHOSE:

FOR HIMSELF.

WHO'D YOU CHOOSE?

I AM GOING ON A DATE

WITH LIBBY.

THE ELEVATOR GIRL?

YOU CHOSE THE ELEVATOR GIRL

OVER CYNTHIA DUPONT?

MM-HMM.

[laughs]

WOW.

JONATHAN?

OH, YEAH.

OH, YEAH,

VERY NICE, ROSEMARY.

MM-HMM.

OOH, I LIKE THIS ONE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OH, VERY SHARP.

YOU COULD WEAR ONE OF THESE

ON YOUR DATE WITH LIBBY.

YEAH?

WELL, I HOPE SHE TURNS OU TO BE EVERYTHING YOU WANT,

BECAUSE YOU DESERVE THAT.

YOU DESERVE SOMETHING GOOD

IN YOUR LIFE.

ROSEMARY, I HAVE A LO OF GOOD THINGS IN MY LIFE, OKAY?

YOU INCLUDED.

BUT EVERYTHING GOOD

IN YOUR LIFE,

YOU'VE HAD TO WORK FOR.

IT'D BE NICE IF SOMEBODY

WAS JUST THERE FOR YOU,

BESIDES ME, OF COURSE.

I WOULD LIKE THAT.

BUT I LIKE TO WORK.

I ALWAYS HAVE.

SOMETIMES I JUST THINK

THAT'S WHAT MY LIFE IS ABOUT.

JONATHAN, I KNOW IT FEELS

THAT WAY NOW,

BUT YOU ARE GOING TO SEE.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS

IN LIFE BESIDES WORK.

[Libby laughs]

WOW, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

WELL, WAIT TILL YOU SEE

WHAT WE GOT PLANNED.

THANK YOU.

- ENJOY.

APPRECIATE IT.

YOU READY?

- YES.

- OKAY.

MMM! THIS FOOD

IS DELICIOUS.

MM.

WELL, I THOUGH YOU'D LIKE IT.

SO HAVE YOU:

ALWAYS LIVED HERE?

UH, NO.

I GREW UP ON THE EAST COAST,

ACTUALLY.

I STUDIED LAW,

WENT TO:

A VERY PREPPY SCHOOL THERE.

- REALLY?

- YEAH.

MY MOM THOUGHT IT'D BE

A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR ME.

UM, OF COURSE,

SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO WEAR

THE BLAZER AND TIE

TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY,

BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE WAS RIGHT.

IN THE END,

IT SERVED ME WELL.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

DID YOU--

DID YOU GROW UP HERE

OR GO TO COLLEGE HERE?

NO, DIDN'T DO

THE COLLEGE THING.

I KIND OF TOOK MORE

OF THE LIFE-EXPERIENCE ROUTE.

I TRAVELED A LOT.

I WENT TO EUROPE.

I TOOK A SCULPTING CLASS

IN ITALY.

I WORKED AT A PIZZERIA THERE,

AND I LEARNED HOW TO TOSS

THE DOUGH.

[laughs]

YEAH.

UM, I WORKED AT A FARM

IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

AND LEARNED:

HOW TO MAKE GOAT CHEESE.

GOAT CHEESE.

I LOVE GOAT CHEESE.

YEAH. ME TOO.

I SKETCHED THE ROOFTOPS

IN SANTORINI.

I LIVED ON THE BEACH

IN AUSTRALIA,

WAITED TABLES:

THERE AT THE BEACH

AND LEARNED HOW TO SURF.

THEN I KIND:

OF FINISHED IT ALL UP

WITH AN ACTUAL VACATION

IN HAWAII.

AND THEN I CAME HOME.

THAT'S AMAZING. WOW.

WHAT DO YOU DO:

AFTER A WORLD TOUR LIKE THAT?

I WENT TO MASSAGE SCHOOL.

THAT MAKES SENSE--

CHEESE, SURFING, PAINTING,

MASSAGE SCHOOL.

UM, AND NOW YOU'RE BACK

TO FINISH CULINARY SCHOOL.

- YES.

- OKAY.

YES, AND, HOPEFULLY,

I WILL GRADUATE AND GET A JOB,

I MEAN, IF I CAN FIGURE OU WHAT THEY PU IN THIS SAUCE, UM,

I'M PRETTY SURE

IT'LL ALL BE WORTH IT.

WELL,

TO NEW ADVENTURES, THEN.

CHEERS.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW,

BEING A RACE-CAR DRIVER

WASN'T LOOKED ON

BY MY MOTHER:

AS BEING VERY PRACTICAL.

SHE WANTED ME TO BE

A DOCTOR OR A LAWYER.

I CHOSE THE LATTER,

AND, YOU KNOW,

FORTUNATELY, I, UH...

I PASSED THE BAR

BEFORE SHE DIED.

I'M SURE

SHE WAS VERY PROUD.

SO WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WELL, WE MOVED AROUND A LO WHEN I WAS A KID,

SO THAT MEANT A NEW SCHOOL

EVERY YEAR OR TWO.

I BECAME VERY GOOD

AT MAKING FRIENDS.

I MEAN, I COULD TALK

TO ANYBODY.

[laughs]

WELL, YEAH, THAT'S OBVIOUS.

YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT IT.

ARE YOU SAYING:

I'M TALKING YOUR EAR OFF?

NO, NO.

NO, I'M JUST SAYING, UM...

[laughs]

I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW, AS A LAWYER,

I'M USED TO LISTENING,

AND, UH...

YOU MAKE THIS EASY.

I'M VERY HAPPY

TO HEAR THAT.

SO WITH ALL THE MOVING AROUND

AND STARTING OVER,

YOU'RE PROBABLY PRETTY CLOSE

WITH YOUR PARENTS, HUH?

WITH MY MOM, YEAH. YEAH.

MY DAD SPLIT WHEN I WAS THREE.

HE TRAVELED A TON.

HE WAS A TRUCKER.

HE WORKED ON AN OIL RIG

OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO.

IN ALASKA:

AND THE GRAND CANYON.

WOW.

FROM HIS TRAVELS.

NOT THE POINT, TESSA.

HE TOOK ME THERE 'CAUSE

HE THOUGHT I WOULD LIKE IT,

AND I LOVED IT.

OKAY,

IT'S JUST THAT USUALLY

YOU HATE:

THOSE KINDS OF PLACES.

YOU'RE ALWAYS SAYING THAT YOU

PAY MORE FOR THE AMBIANCE

THAN YOU DO FOR THE FOOD.

WELL, THE FOOD

WAS DELICIOUS.

OH, I HAD THE BEST TIME.

OKAY.
