As Eva drives away -

EXT. MARIANNE’S SANTA MONICA HOUSE - DAY

Eva carries her massage table up to this beautiful Spanish

house. It’s not big, but it’s special.

INT. MARIANNE’S HOUSE - DAY

Bringing the table into the house, Eva admires the beautiful

place. It’s eclectic, colorful, creative, personal, perfect.

Fresh flowers everywhere, amazing art. Marianne wears a

casual but chic outfit.

MARIANNE:

Come on in. Would you mind removing your

shoes?

EVA:

No problem.

MARIANNE:

And your socks too?

EVA:

Sure.

MARIANNE:

Would you like some ice tea?

Eva takes off her shoes and socks as Marianne slips into the

kitchen. She then appears with a glass of iced tea.

EVA:

Oh yeah, that sounds good. I’m so glad

you called. So many people take my card

just to be polite!

MARIANNE:

Well, I’m not polite!

EVA:

(looking around)

Wow, this is soooo pretty! Can I live

here?

(sipping ice tea)

And this tea is kind of fabulous!

INT. MARIANNE’S LIVING ROOM - LATER

Eva is working on Marianne while she lies on her back.

Soothing music plays.

INT. MARIANNE’S LIVING ROOM - LATER

Eva is putting her table back together while Marianne wears

casual clothes and sits on the couch. They’re mid

conversation.

MARIANNE:

I’m dating this guy and he has no sense

of humor.

EVA:

Could be a deal breaker.

MARIANNE:

Right? I don’t know what to do because

he’s very sweet.

EVA:

Sweet can be good. Find someone else to

tell you jokes.

MARIANNE:

Are you married?

EVA:

Divorced. For ten years.

MARIANNE:

Are you guys still friends?

EVA:

Not really. We share a daughter. Other

than that it’s hard to believe I ever had

a laugh with the guy, let alone create a

child.

MARIANNE:

I know what you mean about your ex. We

have zero in common. I don’t know how I

ever had a real conversation with him.

EVA:

Crazy, isn’t it?

ENOUGH SAID 11

EXT. MARIANNE’S HOUSE - DAY

Eva is putting her massage table in her car while Marianne

clips herbs in her front yard.

MARIANNE:

I’ll call you really soon. This left

shoulder is still so tight.

EVA:

You ought to ice it tonight. And drink

lots of water. Stay hydrated.

MARIANNE:

I will. Thank you again. I’m so glad I

met you! Oh, want some chervil? I’m

drowning in it.

She hands her some herbs.

INT. EVA’S HOUSE/KITCHEN - DAY

Eva sits in her kitchen eating lunch, VIDEO CHATTING WITH

SARAH.

EVA:

What the Hell is chervil? She said she

was drowning in it.

SARAH:

An herb.

(in American accent)

An herb. How long have you known me?

EVA:

I can’t understand a goddamned thing you

ever say.

EVA (CONT’D)

The furniture was gorgeous. I wanted

everything in there.

INT. SARAH’S OFFICE - DAY

Sarah sits at her desk (in her therapy office) VIDEO

CHATTING.

EVA:

She has no cellulite.

ENOUGH SAID 12

SARAH:

How can that be?

EVA:

I don’t know! There’s nothing!

SARAH:

Anyway, Will said that some guy you met

at the party wants your number! Jason’s

friend I think.

Eva smiles, in spite of herself.

EVA:

But we both admitted we weren’t attracted

to each other.

(beat)

What should I do? He’s kind of fat.

SARAH:

He is?

EVA:

He’s got this big belly.

SARAH:

Oh, come on. You have nothing to lose.

EVA:

No, but he does. Ha Ha Ha.

Sarah just stares at her. Suddenly Eva notices the little

light on the wall go on behind Sarah.

EVA (CONT’D)

Your patient just arrived.

(beat)

What if you never went out there. Would

they just - (motions to shoot herself)?

Oh, was that inappropriate?

EXT. TRAGICALLY HIP RESTAURANT - NIGHT

TWELVE PEOPLE wait for a table outside a nondescript, storefront

restaurant. Loud music blasts out onto the street from

inside. Albert and Eva stand in front with the others, making

conversation. Everyone around them is YOUNG.

ENOUGH SAID 13

ALBERT:

I’m sorry about this. I swear I made a

dinner reservation.

EVA:

Oh. That’s okay.

(beat)

What about you? What do you do?

ALBERT:

I work at The American Library of

Cultural History.

EVA:

The what?

ALBERT:

Exactly. It’s basically a television

library.

EVA:

(concerned)

You watch a lot of TV.

ALBERT:

(smiles)

No, no. Television history. What’s on

now? I have no clue. I tried to watch a

Housewives of Idiot Town and I wanted to

jump off a building.

EVA:

I watched one of those shows with my

daughter once and I couldn’t believe it.

They had no brains. And they all had fake

cheekbones. And fake b*obs.

(beat)

You like fake b*obs?

ALBERT:

I like real b*obs.

EVA:

I got real b*obs.

ALBERT:

(awkward pause)

Well, that’s working out for us then.

ENOUGH SAID 14

INT. TRAGICALLY HIP RESTAURANT - LATER

They’re mid meal and haven’t run out of things to say. They

have to shout to be heard.

EVA:

How long have you been divorced?

ALBERT:

About four years.

EVA:

And was it mutual?

ALBERT:

(embarrassed)

Not really, no.

EVA:

Uh uh.

(beat)

And can I get her number?

ALBERT:

Of course.

EVA:

Imagine the time it would save.

ALBERT:

Sometimes I think we should all just wear

signs around our necks. Get it all out

there.

EVA:

What would yours say?

ALBERT:

I don’t know. I’m a slob? I have ear

hair?

EVA:

You know there’s ways to get rid of ear

hair.

ALBERT:

Fully aware. Taken care of.

EVA:

A slob, huh?

ENOUGH SAID 15

ALBERT:

Not the dirty, hoarder kind, just the

normal kind.

EVA:

Does your daughter live with you?

ALBERT:

Half the time.

EVA:

Does she mind your normal kind of mess?

ALBERT:

I’m not that bad. But both she and her

mother are very neat. They love that

store - Christ - the empty box store?

EVA:

The Container Store?

ALBERT:

A whole store that sells crap to put your

crap in so you can buy more crap.

EVA:

I love that store. I love crap!

ALBERT:

So did my ex wife. And she put it in very

flowery and overpriced boxes.

EVA:

They sell those in some manly designs,

you know.

ALBERT:

Manly designs?

EVA:

Yeah, browns. Little cowboys.

ALBERT:

Little cowboys? Well, if they did, my

wife would have bought them for me

because she tried very hard to

domesticate me.

EVA:

Living with someone else is not easy.

Peoples habits.

ENOUGH SAID 16

ALBERT:

Listen to this -

(beat)

I don’t like onions in my guacamole,

right? So I would take a chip and kind of

swirl it around until the onions were all

on one side and then I could eat it. It

drove her bananas.

EVA:

Seems kind of harmless.

ALBERT:

Completely. But by the end of our

marriage it made her gag.

EVA:

Well, that’s not nice.

He notices her hands.

ALBERT:

You have - um - lovely hands.

EVA:

Oh. Thank you.

ALBERT:

I would have thought - since you’re a

masseuse that you would have big, manly

hands but they’re actually very lovely.

EVA:

(awkward)

You have nice hands too.

ALBERT:

(embarrassed)

Thank you.

EVA:

They’re kind of like paddles.

(beat)

Did they just turn the music louder?

ALBERT:

No, I think you just got older.

Eva flags down a WAITER.

EVA:

Excuse me, could you turn the music down

a little bit? I’m old.
