Falling In Love Page #3

- I don't think so, Vic.

- What are you holding out for?

I just don't want to go to Houston.

There's a great opportunity here.

Let's talk about it later,

I have to make a call now.

Seymore fell down!

Hello.

Yes.

Hi.

Yes.

Yeah...

Well, yes.

Sure.

Bye.

- So, I was in the neighbourhood.

- So you said.

- How's your father?

- He's OK.

- He's coming home in a few days.

- Good.

I know I said we could have coffee

but I was thinking...

Well, maybe if we... If you had time,

we could have lunch or something.

Lunch?

Yeah, that... Well... I don't know.

I mean...

- You're very beautiful.

- No, I'm not.

- I'm very married.

- I am too.

But married people have to eat too.

Yes, they do.

- Yeah?

- Sure.

The city was Dutch then

and they were expecting an attack

from the English in New England

so they built a wall for protection

but the bids from the private

contractors were too high,

so the people built it themselves.

It ran from the East River straight

to the Hudson, straight across.

That's why they call it Wall Street.

How do you know all that?

I read it on the back of this menu.

So what happened?

Did they attack, the English?

Yeah.

But they came from the south.

They came by boat so it was useless.

- The wall.

- Yeah.

- I'm talking too much.

- No, you're not.

At least I'm talking.

You're just sitting there.

It's true.

I'll shut up. You talk.

Well, what do you want to know?

How much do you weigh?

- Hey, Ed.

- Yeah, what?

Can I ask you something?

Tell me the truth.

What?

Do you think I'm good-looking?

No, we knew... we knew

before she was born, so...

They... There was an abnormality

in the blood vessels

so they had to operate right away.

And she was five days old.

That was a year ago.

That was two years ago in March.

It was nobody's fault but Brian,

he's a doctor... It's harder.

I thought that we should

have had another one right away.

I thought we should have.

But you didn't.

No but we will, I think we will.

It's just time.

Yeah. Kids.

Yeah.

We should go.

Yeah.

You wanna have another coffee?

Wait!

No, this one. Where you going?

I don't know what you've been up to

but you look terrific.

I do?

Well, I...

I feel good.

I've been working a lot more and...

I just feel good.

- I haven't seen you for weeks.

- Yeah, I know.

- Who is it?

- Who is what?

Well, you're seeing someone,

aren't you?

My God, what time is it? I just...

- I have to run.

- We're having lunch.

- Sorry, I just can't.

- What's going on?

He's a friend, that's all.

We take the train together and...

and I like him.

He makes me feel good.

I like being with him

and I like thinking about him.

We just do things, you know, we...

We laugh, I mean mostly at...

I hardly even know him.

That's the truth.

I just like being with him,

that's all. I like...

God. I'm gonna go.

- Molly, listen to me.

- I don't want to listen. Sorry.

I'm not gonna listen. I'm going.

I'll call you.

Hi. It's me.

Yes. Hi.

Yes, I decided to.

Where?

Sure.

Bye.

What?

- You look different.

- I do?

You look nice, you just

look different. You look great.

Maybe it's the jacket.

I had a feeling you were gonna call.

- Well, shall we go...?

- Yeah.

Thank you.

- I know how to cook Chinese.

- You do? No kidding.

No, really. Moo shu pork. You just

get the buttermilk pancake mix.

You're putting me on.

You can't beat this guy.

There's no way.

- The bird wins. You lose.

- I can't believe it.

Try again.

There you go.

It's unfair, he goes ahead.

You should flip for it.

See who goes first.

He's saying, "hurry up."

- I got to go here.

- He's beating you again.

It's OK. Bird wins.

I'll try...

- I look surprised.

- You look great.

I look terrible.

At least yours look like you.

- This looks like me?

- Yeah.

- I look like this?

- Yeah.

This isn't... this is not

the way I look.

Yes, it is.

- Jesus.

- They're nice.

Let me see.

What?

Nothing.

The Shaffer woman died today.

Oh, no.

The husband was there.

I made my little speech.

He kept looking at me.

They always look at you

as if you should have more to say.

Would you like to go to the movies?

No.

Going into town tomorrow?

- We already did the arteriogram.

- You did?

- Yes. He didn't tell you?

- No, he didn't.

He's been avoiding this

for six months.

We'd like to keep him and do the

bypass but he has to agree to it.

Well, I'll talk to him.

He's pretty groggy right now.

I know. I just want to...

I just want to see him.

Dr Gilmore, please.

It's his wife.

Yeah.

No, that's OK.

No. No message. Thank you.

- You OK?

- Yes.

- You sure?

- Yes. I'm fine.

- Isn't that Roosevelt Island?

- Yeah.

- What's the matter?

- What?

You're thinking about something.

- It looks easy from here.

- What does?

Everything.

- You want to go back?

- No.

Yes. Yes, I have to go back.

I shouldn't have called you.

I'm sorry.

My father's in the hospital again.

That's all. I just...

They have to operate.

No, that's not it.

- It's this.

- What?

I have to go. I do.

- Why?

- I can't do this. I can't.

I don't know why I called you.

I didn't mean to, I just did. Stupid.

- Don't say that.

- I didn't want to see you.

Don't say that.

I have a husband.

I have... I have a life.

I have things that I...

I have to be there.

I have to go.

I do.

Wait for me at the station. 5:45.

University Hospital, please.

Wait for me?

Yeah, I know that.

Yeah, I know that. I know that

but nobody else seems to know that.

No, I'm just tired of saying

the same thing over and over.

I'm looking at it right now.

What do you want me to do?

Well, what do you want me to do?

Look, I can't talk now.

I'm sorry, I can't.

I can't! I can't!

I'm hanging up right now.

I'm hanging up.

Taxi! Taxi!

You came.

I didn't think you were coming.

I love you. I do.

Hi. I'm almost done.

Dinner will be ready soon.

No hurry.

I left the tickets for tomorrow on

the hallway table.

- What tickets?

- You're taking the kids to the game.

- No. I can't.

- Why not?

- Well...

- You forgot?

- I'm stuck with Victor tomorrow.

- That's OK.

- Damn.

- It's OK.

I told them you might have to work.

Don't worry about it. I'll take 'em.

- Sorry.

- It's OK. I want to take 'em.

I do. I was even kind of hoping

it might turn out like this.

What's the matter?

I was thinking about Ed Lasky.

He's getting a divorce.

- Surprise, surprise.

- He says he's not in love any more.

Nobody's in love any more.

So what else is new?

Yeah.

I'll be inside.

This is very...

Eleanor Roosevelt.

Oh, no.

My God.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- Hi.

- Hi. I came in the back door.

I'm late. I was late getting started.

- I didn't see you.

- I was waiting out front.

- There? I should have looked.

- It was just a few minutes.

Anyway. How are you?

You look nice.

- You wanna go?

- Where?

I don't know.

You wanna get something to eat?

- Sure.

- You hungry?

No but, I mean, if you're hungry...
