Hello, It's Me Page #5

I...

I'm not sure I'm ready

for...

Spaghetti?

(BOTH LAUGH)

You know what I mean.

Look,

(STAMMERS) I...

I don't want to pressure

you.

I just really like

being around you.

Your energy,

your talent,

the way you are

with your kids.

(PHONE RINGING)

- Oh, come on.

- (SIGHS)

I'm sorry,

I have to take this.

- Annie, wait...

- No, I'm sorry.

Thank you for everything.

And for cleaning up. I...

I have to take this alone.

I'm sorry, James.

What? Wait, wait, wait.

No, no, no, come on.

Come on, call back.

Call back. Come on.

Come on, I'm here.

I'm here. Call back. Come

on.

(SIGHS)

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hello?

Come on, be there.

Come on.

- (THUNDER CRASHING)

- Annie...

I'm here. I'm here.

I can hear you.

(PANTING)

Andre.

I know why you're here.

I'm so...

I'm so sorry about James.

Please, say something.

ANDRE:
Yes.

"Yes"?

Yes what? What does...

What does that mean?

ANDRE:
Yes.

Andre?

Andre!

No, don't go!

(SOBS) Don't go.

(SIGHS)

I'm sorry that I pushed.

I just, um, wanted to say

good night before I left.

I'm sorry I had to

leave like that.

Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

Say, um...

Why don't you meet me

at the marina tomorrow?

Slip 44.

- I don't think...

- It is not a date.

Not a date. Just hanging

out.

What do you say?

-11:
00?

- Uh...

Okay, great. Great!

I know my way out.

So, uh, thank you,

have a good night.

Um, don't forget,

slip 44, okay?

Bye.

Hey. You found it.

I guess I did.

I thought maybe

we'd take her out.

I'm not a big fan of boats.

Oh, okay. Um...

Right. Uh...

- How about a walk then?

- Great.

Okay, let's go.

Come on, after you.

Can I ask you something?

Why did you suddenly

switch off last night?

Are you really

that scared of me?

No, it's not that. I'm just

nowhere near ready

for a relationship

or dating or anything.

Yeah, you've mentioned that,

several times.

So, what, do you just like

the challenge, then?

No.

No, I like you.

I do.

Even if it's just friends.

Why do you want to be friends with me?

I'm kind of a mess.

- Eh...

- You've got everything all figured out.

I do?

Yeah, I mean,

you travel the world,

you have the freedom

to see things

and experience things

few people do.

Seems pretty perfect to me.

But they're just things.

They're nothing real.

(SIGHS)

I mean, you've faced everything the

universe has thrown at you head-on.

- You're like a warrior, you know.

- (CHUCKLES)

You have a purpose,

you got a life.

So do you.

(SIGHS)

Yeah, but, I don't know.

I'm starting to realize that

it may not be the one I want.

Well, I'm happy to switch

houses with you.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, I do kind of

like my house.

It's not the house. It's...

It's what's inside the

house.

And that's something

that I've never had.

Credit card debt, a

mortgage,

bills I can't even

begin to pay. Never mind.

Look, can I ask you a favor?

- As an official friend?

- Sure.

Would you please let me help

you open your own bakery?

Oh, James, not this again.

No, no, no, one of my storefronts

on Main Street just came open.

So it's a great location.

I mean, people would

kill for this location.

- Not me.

- It used to be a cafe,

so it's practically

ready to go.

You could be

up and running in a month.

- Okay, that sounds incredible.

- Okay, don't overthink it.

Just say yes. Say it with

me.

Y-E-S spells...

- Yes.

- Yes.

- Did you just say yes?

- How did he know?

- Who?

- What?

(CHUCKLES) What? I'm confused.

Did you say just yes?

- I guess I did.

- Yes!

That's great!

Congratulations.

(CHUCKLES)

You're gonna have a bakery.

Well, here we are.

The "Hurry Up and Think of a Name

for the Bake Shop" Bake Shop.

- I don't think that's going to work.

- Yeah, probably not.

So, any ideas?

I'll think of something.

Okay.

You ready?

Ready.

It's perfect.

(BOTH SPEAKING FRENCH)

- (LAUGHS)

- Very nice.

Where did you learn French?

Uh... Milo taught me.

(WHISTLING)

Uh, you weren't gonna

do the whole

"Playfully splatter paint on the

other person" bit, were you?

- You're no fun.

- I'm super fun.

No, you're not.

Yes, I am.

You were gonna splatter me

with paint, weren't you?

- No.

- Yes, you were.

I can tell.

Uh-uh.

I'm telling you right now,

this'll end badly for you.

Oh, you can drip your paint

all you want, sister,

I will paint you up.

- Really?

- I'm very good with a paintbrush.

(LAUGHING)

Jeez, what did we carry these,

like, a mile?

- It's not a mile.

- Think I'm getting a blister.

- I'm just, kind of like...

- You're not gonna get a blister.

- I just wanna stop for a second.

- Hey, what are ya doin'?

We got work to do.

- All right.

- It's so nice out, isn't it?

- See, you wanted a break, too.

- Yes.

- Are you guys hungry?

- Do we have to eat here again?

I feel like we officially

live here now.

Look, I know it's been tough

spending so much time here,

but trust me, once we open,

everything at home

will go back to normal.

- No!

- Milo?

I don't want it

like it was before.

You were sad

and now you're happy.

I like it like this.

I kind of do, too.

So pizza from down the

street?

Pizza from down the street.

This bakery is gonna do great.

I know it!

What if no one comes?

What if this is a huge mistake?

What if I give everyone

food poisoning?

Uh, you took the Arsenic

Apple Fritters off the menu?

- (CHUCKLES)

- Then I think we're gonna be just fine.

This may be more than we

should have tried at once.

- I think so, too.

- Whoa! Oh.

- Whoa, whoa, wait, no, no, no.

- Whoa, whoa!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- I got it.

- You got it?

- Yeah. Okay.

- Okay.

- Yeah, okay. I got it. Okay, yeah.

Okay, here we go.

Just take one bite.

No.

No, look, I understand

that it's trendy,

but I just don't get the whole

"bacon in dessert" thing.

- Don't you trust me?

- (CHUCKLES)

Well, it's not...

(MUFFLED)

Well, now I don't trust you.

Just taste it.

See?

I don't understand.

Sometimes two things that

don't seem to belong together

make a pretty good pair.

You're absolutely right.

All right. Thank you,

everybody, for coming.

This is a really

special day for us.

So... Ready?

- I'm more than ready.

- Okay.

But, before we do that,

there's one last thing.

(CHUCKLES)

Whoa!

- I'm famous!

- (LAUGHING)

Everybody, please, come in.

- What do you think?

- Kind of cool.

I'll take it.

I wish Dad was here.

He is.

- Can we go in?

- Let's go in! Let's go in.

Mother, you made it.

I was surprised

to hear from you.

I thought you were

in Paris and Hong Kong.

- I decided to stay home.

- Oh!

Shall we go to Silver's

for coffee?

Actually, this place is having

its grand opening today

and I was hoping you might

try it with me.

- Yes?

- Well, all right.

- You look lovely, as usual.

- Thank you.

Ah.

Well...

(CHUCKLES)

This is amazing.

Thank you so much.

I couldn't have done this without you.

Why is she thanking you?

Why are you thanking him?

Uh, I'm the bakery's

primary investor.
