Enough Said Page #3

WAITER:

No, I’m sorry.

EVA:

Are you sorry that I’m old, or that you

won’t turn the music down?

WAITER:

We can’t change the volume.

The waiter walks away.

EVA:

He’s nice.

ALBERT:

I find I don’t like younger people.

EVA:

(with her hand to her ear)

Eh?

ALBERT:

I’m sorry. I picked the wrong

restaurant.

EVA:

Oh I’m having a great time. The food is

delicious. I mean I can’t hear anything

you’re saying...

ALBERT:

That’s probably why you are having a

great time.

INT. MENCHIES YOGURT PLACE - NIGHT

Albert and Eva put toppings on their yogurts at the self

serve bar. Albert lifts a spoonful of something red.

ALBERT:

What is this, tomatoes?

EVA:

That’s watermelon! There’s some croutons

next to it.

He chuckles and dumps some candy in his bowl.

ENOUGH SAID 18

EVA (CONT’D)

Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose?

ALBERT:

What, it’s non fat yogurt. You can put a

little stuff on it...

She watches him dump more crap on and she smiles, amused.

He looks at a COUPLE OF WOMEN looking very serious as they

stand there tasting flavors out of little cups.

EVA:

What? The people tasting?

ALBERT:

You know, just put some in your bowl.

You’re not buying a house!

EVA:

It’s free.

ALBERT:

Yes, it’s free. They’re happy!

EVA:

(laughing)

They have to taste. There’s many

variations. Cake Batter, Red Velvet.

(reading a sign)

I have no idea what that is.

Albert pays for their cups and takes out a photo of his

daughter.

ALBERT:

This is my daughter.

CLOSE UP ON A PHOTO OF A BEAUTIFUL 18 YEAR OLD GIRL.

EVA:

Yowee. She’s gorgeous.

ALBERT:

Looks like her mom, thank god.

Eva turns on her phone and shows him a picture of Ellen.

ALBERT (CONT’D)

She’s beautiful.

(beat)

You got any money?

ENOUGH SAID 19

Flustered, Eva goes for her wallet.

ALBERT (CONT’D)

Just kidding.

She laughs, relieved, as Albert takes out a twenty.

INT. ALBERT’S AUDI - NIGHT

Albert pulls his car up to Eva’s house.

EVA:

Well, I had a really nice time.

ALBERT:

Me, too.

Albert leans in for a kiss but Eva leans back.

EVA:

I’m not sure.

ALBERT:

Got it.

EVA:

I mean, maybe.

ALBERT:

I understand.

EVA:

It’s just that I’m not sure.

ALBERT:

(playful)

It’s okay. I’m not deaf.

(beat)

Maybe a little deaf.

She offers a hand and they shake.

EVA:

I like your paddles.

She moves to get out.

ALBERT:

I like your ass.

Flattered and embarrassed, Eva beams.

ENOUGH SAID 20

EVA:

Well, thank you.

Albert can’t believe he just said that as she gets out of the

car, waving.

INT. EVA’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

She drops her purse and flops down on the couch next to Ellen

and Chloe. They are in a discussion, flipping through

magazines and eating snacks.

ELLEN:

How was it?

EVA:

Nice!

CHLOE:

But what if he immediately hooks up with

someone else? I’ll die.

ELLEN:

So don’t do it.

EVA:

What?

ELLEN:

Nothing.

CHLOE:

I can’t decide if I should sleep with

Chris or not. We’re going to separate

colleges and I don’t want to do it if I’m

gonna regret it later.

EVA:

You’re a virgin, right?

ELLEN:

Don’t answer that.

CHLOE:

(at same time)

Yes.

EVA:

You can’t live in fear of making a

mistake. If you want to do it, you should

do it.

ENOUGH SAID 21

ELLEN:

Stay out of it.

EVA:

She asked me!

ELLEN:

She did?

EVA:

Didn’t you Chloe?

Chloe shrugs, stuck in the middle.

INT. CLOTHING STORE - DAY

Eva sits on a couch outside the dressing rooms, knitting a

blanket. The girls are in a dressing room together.

CHLOE (O.S.)

That looks so cute!

ELLEN (O.S.)

You think?

EVA:

(shouting to them)

Show me! Come out!

ELLEN (O.S.)

I don’t like it. I’m gonna try this one.

EVA:

Hey. I forgot to ask you. What happened

to Maddy Price? She was such a b*tch the

other day.

CHLOE (O.S.)

She had a threesome with Sage Berger and

Brendan Weiss and now she thinks she’s

Taylor Momson.

ELLEN (O.S.)

Chloe! Don’t tell my mom that!

CHLOE (O.S.)

Your mom’s cool.

ELLEN (O.S.)

No, she’s not.

ENOUGH SAID 22

EVA:

She can tell me stuff. You never do!

(stunned)

They had a threesome?

ELLEN (O.S.)

Forget it mom!

EVA:

What is happening?

(beat)

Have you guys done that?

ELLEN (O.S.)

Mom? Shut up.

CHLOE (O.S.)

That’s such a pretty color. You look

good.

ELLEN (O.S.)

Really? I think I like it.

EVA:

Show me!

They still ignore Eva.

EVA (CONT’D)

Hello? I’m the one buying it.

Ellen comes out and shows her.

EVA (CONT’D)

You look beautiful!

Chloe comes out wearing a tight short thing. Then her PRETTY

MOTHER DEBBIE comes out of her own dressing room some

distance away, wearing the same thing.

EVA (CONT’D)

(surprised)

Look at you guys.

CHLOE:

No way.

DEBBIE:

What?

CHLOE:

We’re not buying the same dress, mom.

ENOUGH SAID 23

DEBBIE:

I won’t wear it at the same time as you.

CHLOE:

Come on. You look stupid.

DEBBIE:

I think I look good.

CHLOE:

You’re so lumpy.

Debbie looks at Eva for support.

EVA:

If I could wear that dress I would.

DEBBIE:

Thank you.

CHLOE:

You would not. Mom you look crazy.

Disgusted, Chloe heads back into the dressing room.

DEBBIE:

You’re not the only attractive girl in

our family, Chloe.

CHLOE (O.S.)

Oh please!

(beat)

Why can’t you just dress like Ellen’s

mom? She looks normal!

Debbie glances at Eva’s attire and rolls her eyes as she goes

into the dressing room. Eva sits there in JEANS, SNEAKERS,

BAGGY SWEATER. Knitting. Oh well.

EXT. MARIANNE’S PATIO - DAY

Eva is setting up her massage stuff as Marianne lies on her

back. She places a bolster under her knees.

EVA:

(beat)

So, what happened with your not-funny

guy?

ENOUGH SAID 24

MARIANNE:

Over. It’s fine. What about you? Do you

have a boyfriend?

EVA:

I had a good first date over the weekend.

MARIANNE:

How nice. What’s he like?

EVA:

(putting a pillow under

Marianne’s neck)

Funny, and very sweet. We never stopped

talking. It felt like we were old friends

already.

MARIANNE:

In a good way? ‘Cause that can sort of

kill the chemistry.

EVA:

No, it was good. Flirtatious. I wasn’t

sure if I wanted to kiss him though, but

I think I do. When I first met him he

didn’t seem attractive to me. He’s not

typically handsome. But now I think he’s

kind of sexy.

INT. EVA’S CAR - DAY

Eva looks at Albert’s house as she drives up and parks.

EXT. ALBERT’S WESTWOOD HOUSE - DAY

A 1930’s somewhat neglected one story house. The lawn is dead

and the paint is peeling. The curtains are drawn inside.

Holding a bottle of cheap champagne, Eva exits her car and

walks up to the house. After a beat, Albert comes to the door

wearing a sweatshirt and pajama bottoms.

EVA:

Oh my god, did I get the day wrong?

ALBERT:

No. Why?
