Jack Goes Boating Page #4

So what else did Clyde say?

Jack, he told you.

- What?

- He told you.

We worked through it.

It's the two years, though.

That's what would get me.

Jack, it was five years ago.

I just found out and...

I'm talking about

what's up with me about it,

and I shouldn't.

But you said you just kissed

the death guy in the elevator.

He didn't know for sure.

That's what he said you live with-

not knowing for sure.

What else did he tell you?

- Nothing.

- Yeah well,

there are things he has

to deal with too on his side.

I shouldn't have said anything.

He didn't mention the woman he drove

to Poughkeepsie before the Cannoli?

"Just once in the back seat," he said-

like that made it okay.

- I'm sorry.

- For what?

I, uh- I don't know.

You've never been in a relationship

for any length of time.

- A lot happens.

- That's what he said.

- A lot of good things.

- Yeah.

A lot of things

you wouldn't wish on your enemy.

If you become something

with Connie-

I mean when you stay

together with someone,

things will come up

that you have to live with.

Core pear. Squeeze the lemon.

Combine the syrup

with the lemon juice.

Perfect.

Stir till blended.

Perfect.

- You're making it nice.

- Thanks.

- I'm sorry.

- Jack:
No.

You're a great kisser.

Jack:
Thanks.

I'm not ready yet

for penis penetration.

Jack:

Well, uh, no.

I- I mean I want to.

I mean physically I'm okay.

No, it's-it's- it's okay.

I'm not, you know,

an expert so-

No no, it isn't that.

I even imagined it with you.

That's-

yeah?

In the bathtub

I imagined I was with you.

We took a bath?

No, I was in a bathtub

imagining it was

a pitch-black night.

We were in a bed in a spaceship

flying through superspace.

That- that's a long way off,

you know, space travel...

for tourists.

You can touch me again

if you want.

If you want to, like you were.

I'm not ready yet

for total intimate contact,

but I will be with you though.

I can tell. But not yet.

And it isn't because

I don't think you're sexy.

You are.

I like how you touch me,

how you barely touch my skin.

Oh, that feels good.

You can stop if you want to.

No, I like it.

I know you haven't said

you'd be patient

and wait for me

to get over my problems,

- now that you know I have some.

- I'll wait.

It could be sooner,

but I know summer for certain.

- Okay.

- Oh God.

- Jack.

- Yeah?

- Can I ask something?

- Yeah.

What do you want

to see in a woman?

You mean you or-

Yeah.

I mean when you think of a woman,

what do you want to see?

Someone who likes music.

Yeah.

Someone positive.

Not a dark-mood person.

Those are all nice things.

Not too hard.

- Sorry.

- What?

No.

I mean, you're being gentle.

I mean it's not hard to be

a positive person around you.

Oh.

Someone who doesn't need

to look around to other men.

You mean have sex with other men?

She feels, you know,

that she has to.

I won't do that ever.

What do you want to see?

Asense he can tell methetruth

Asenseofhumor.

Has a job.

Patient, like you.

Sexy.

Jack:

I can be some of those things.

~ Sweetheart... ~

We're gonna start with your breathing.

Watch me.

From the diaphragm.

- Okay.

- ~ Beating next to mine... ~

- You try it.

- ~ The right words... ~

Early bird. Showing initiative-

that's good.

- ~ When all our times... ~

- Sorry I'm late.

~ Were fine... ~

Not like that.

Remember the first session?

- Yeah.

- You cut the onion like this.

Breathe through your nose,

you save your tears.

A clean area always.

This is Federic.

Hello.

Lucy says hello.

- Good work, Becky.

- Oh, thanks.

- Good night.

- Oh, he's fine.

He's doing fine. Yeah.

- Oh. Wow.

- ~ How I miss your heart.. ~

Oh.

~ Beating nextto mine... ~

Okay, I'm going.

- Okay.

- Have a great trip.

Oops! I will. Take care.

- Are you okay?

- Fine.

- Jack's happy.

- I know.

- He practiced the chops six times.

- I ate them six times.

Six times in two weeks.

I can't eat them again.

- I can't eat the potato thing again.

- You have to.

I can't eat

the dessert thing again either.

You have to.

The chops, the potato thing-

it's au gratin, either way-

and the dessert too.

It means a lot to him.

- Don't get drunk.

- I won't.

- Don't get weird.

- No way.

- Forget about Federic.

- You brought him up.

All I said was Jack was

a good student. He cooks great.

Clyde:

I don't have trouble with it in reality.

F*** reality.

It's in my head I have trouble.

I called him about Jack

like you asked- once.

- I never talked to him again.

- Once.

Once.

She called from the stop, so...

- You hungry?

- Yeah, it's- I'm very eager.

- Okay.

- You know, I'm gonna go for a walk

around the block, get my appetite going.

I'll be right back.

- She's almost here.

- Five minutes.

I- I'd better open

another bottle of wine.

- Federic said to let it breathe.

- Maybe we should invite him.

- Invite the Cannoli.

- The Cannoli?

Lucy, have him over

and not let it be a big thing.

- Have the Cannoli over?

- Just for dessert.

Nah.

I'm messing with you.

I'll be right back.

Lucy:

Jack, someone beautiful is here.

Yeah. Okay. You look really good.

Thank you. Oh.

Wow. And you dressed up.

I shouldn't have, right?

- Am I too early?

- Jack:
No no.

- That smells really good.

- Yeah.

You want some wine?

Oh, that'd be nice.

It's French- French Bordeaux.

- I saw Clyde.

- Yeah, he's out working up an appetite.

Yeah, he wants

to out-eat everyone, I think.

- He's okay, right?

- Yeah. He's...

Yeah, he smiled

and said "Hot to trot. "

Yeah, he went for a walk.

"Hot to trot"?

Um, like a compliment, you know?

But he seemed-

I don't know-

a little upset first, maybe.

Yeah, he went to get out, I think,

you know,

get in a more positive vibe.

Yeah yeah yeah.

He gave me a hug even.

A regular hug, right?

I mean you're not saying-

Oh yeah, regular.

He's had a little wine I think so-

Connie:
Oh.

Yeah, he just said,

"Nice cha-chas,"

gave me a hug

and said he'd see me in a minute.

Yeah.

Yeah, he's okay.

- Wine coming up.

- Okay.

- Here.

- Okay.

~ See what I have. ~

Yeah. Wow.

- A hookah.

- Connie:
I've never tried a hookah.

First time for everything,
