Enough Said Page #12

ELLEN:

I love you guys.

Ellen hugs and kisses them both and after a beat, lets go of

them. They stand there.

Reluctantly they all turn around and head toward the security

area. It’s takes an agonizing long time as Ellen gets her

ticket checked, and she leaves them, going to the escalator.

Eva tries to her best not to cry too much, Peter is doing the

same. As Ellen ascends, she turns, seeing her parents grow

smaller and smaller. And her parents, at last, see her

disappear in the crowd.

They turn, walking away. Eva breathes deeply and Peter puts

his arm around her.

PETER:

We made a fine person.

Eva puts her arm around him as well and they walk out of the

airport.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. YOUNG MAN’S HOUSE - DAY

Eva pulls her massage table out of her car and begrudgingly

starts up the steps to the house. After a moment, Hal comes

out and smiles.

HAL:

Hi Eva!

He watches her struggle, smiling. Half way up she suddenly

turns up to him.

EVA:

Do you think you could help me?

Hal rushes down the stairs.

HAL:

Of course. Oh my god, I’m such an idiot!

He takes the table out of her hands and hustles it up the

stairs.

HAL (CONT’D)

God, this is heavy!

Eva walks up behind him, surprised and confused.

INT. BRENTWOOD HOUSE - DAY

Eva is massaging Cynthia’s neck.

CYNTHIA:

Well, we always go to my parents for

thanksgiving and we always get into a

fight. My sister is a middle child so

she’s got those issues - hey, what are

you going to be doing?

EVA:

Huh?

CYNTHIA:

For the holiday?

EVA:

Oh, just going to a friends house. It’s

going to be small.

CYNTHIA:

That sounds nice.

EVA:

Oh yeah. It will be.

EXT. SARAH AND WILL’S HOUSE - DAY

Eva, in a sweater, gets out of her car with some groceries,

walks up to the front door and opens it.

INT. SARAH AND WILL’S HOUSE - MORNING

She walks into the kitchen and puts the groceries on the

counter. Sarah, wearing a robe, is preparing some food.

EVA:

Hi.

SARAH:

Hi honey. Thank you so much.

EVA:

No problem.

SARAH:

(unloading groceries)

Are you excited?

ENOUGH SAID 95

EVA:

Beyond.

SARAH:

Do you think she’s going to look

different?

EVA:

Maybe she grew a beard. You know how it

is at Sarah Lawrence. She looks the same.

I skyped with her yesterday. Actually, I

think she gained a little weight.

SARAH:

What time you getting her?

EVA:

Not til two.

SARAH:

We’re eating at five. You should come

straight here from the airport.

Cathy walks into the kitchen and takes down a bunch of

plates.

SARAH (CONT’D)

Oh, let’s use the fancy plates instead.

CATHY:

You said you don’t like them.

SARAH:

Yeah, but it’s Thanksgiving. You’re

supposed to use ugly plates.

EVA:

I’m gonna get going.

Sarah opens the silverware drawer and sees a hair brush where

She rolls her eyes and looks at Eva, who smiles.

EVA (CONT’D)

I’ll see ya.

CATHY:

Bye Eva.

EVA:

Bye Cathy.

Eva leaves.

ENOUGH SAID 96

INT. EVA’S CAR - DAY

She sits in her car and doesn’t drive. After a moment, she

checks her appearance in the mirror.

EXT. ALBERT’S HOUSE - DAY

Eva drives up and parks across the street. She stares at the

house and can see the living room. After a moment, Albert is

there. And he sees her.

She freezes. She doesn’t know what to do, so she gives a

stupid little wave. He walks away from the window.

Her heart sinks.

EVA:

Okay.

She’s about to drive away when he comes out of the house and

stands on the front steps. She takes this as her cue and gets

out and goes over.

EVA (CONT’D)

I don’t often park in front of your

house.

(beat)

Usually I just drive by.

ALBERT:

I’ve driven by your house, too.

EVA:

(thrilled)

You have?

He nods. He sits and she sits beside him.

EVA (CONT’D)

You look good.

ALBERT:

So do you.

EVA:

Is Tess coming home?

ALBERT:

Already here. She’s at her mom’s. I’m

going over there soon. Wanna come?

ENOUGH SAID 97

Eva laughs, the ice breaking.

ALBERT (CONT’D)

And Ellen?

EVA:

This afternoon. She’s coming home this

afternoon.

ALBERT:

So, you’ve been okay, without her?

EVA:

Oh yeah. But she’s not going back because

I’ve built a cage.

ALBERT:

What a good idea.

EVA:

I’ve missed you.

He looks at her, his face softening.

ALBERT:

I’ve missed you too.

They smile at one another.

ALBERT (CONT’D)

(beat)

Oh, I thought you should know. I bought

some night tables.

EVA:

(surprised)

You did?

ALBERT:

No.

Eva laughs.

EVA:

Okay. That’s good.

And she looks at Albert, feeling gratitude and possibly love.
