Loving Leah Page #4

What do you say?

A nice long weekend.

As soon as Leah is gone, once, once she's found.

Yes?

Hmm?

No?

Hmm?

Is that a yes?

Dr. Perkins, call the pharmacy, please.

Dr. Perkins, please call the pharmacy.

Hey.

Hey, man, what's up?

Any word yet?

None.

Called the police?

48 hours before I can report a missing person.

Called the morgue.

Thankfully nothing.

Where have you been?

I've been going out of my

mind worrying about you.

Y-You didn't answer my calls,

you didn't leave a note.

You can't do that, Leah.

I spent Shabbos with the rabbi.

I don't use the phone on Shabbos.

Shabbos... of course.

Look, you need to tell me when you go out.

I don't need to tell you, the

same way that you don't tell me.

This isn't Brooklyn.

I'm responsible for you.

No, you're not.

No one told you to do that, so stop.

Fine.

Good.

I'm sorry.

I was looking for an address book,

some, some way to find you.

I like what you've done

with the room.

You look good with long hair.

The picture on the desk.

Thank you.

I thought maybe you packed up and left.

Is that what you were hoping?

No.

No, I wasn't.

I asked you to come here,

but I'm not sure I know how to do this.

Let's stop then.

This... is ridiculous.

I don't want to feel like a boarder,

and you, you don't even

treat me like I'm a guest.

When I cook for you,

- you're never home to eat it.

- I told you not to.

I can't help it. I like to cook.

And you're a great cook.

How would you know?

I liked your eggs.

Do you like Chinese food?

This is my first time asking a man out.

So... you never just hung out with guys?

Where I'm from, we don't go

out with the opposite sex

besides our husbands or our brothers.

Even in high school?

No, we're kept separate until

we're ready to get married,

and then we're set up by a family friend

or a professional matchmaker.

You mean like you and my brother?

Yes.

Esther's husband set us up.

- Then you guys dated.

- It's not

like what you would consider dating...

dinner, dancing.

It's more like seeing if we

could make a life together.

Excuse me, may I?

Thank you.

Thanks.

So how did you meet Carol?

At the hospital.

We had the same late lunch schedule,

started eating together,

and, and it turned into what we have now.

She can't be too pleased with this arrangement.

I should move out.

It would be easier for you.

Look, you're the one who uprooted your life

because I asked you to.

When you're ready, I'll help you find a place.

Till then, let's just keep this arrangement.

From now on, we're gonna let the other one know

when we plan to spend the night out.

Deal?

Deal.

Are you cold?

- Oh.

- Here.

Thank you.

Sure.

Here you go.

You're not at all what I expected.

Why, what did you expect?

I don't know.

You're kind of sassy.

"You got spunk, kid."

Bogart.

Seriously, though, Ben was smart to grab you.

He was a lucky guy.

Thank you.

You know...

the day he died I told everyone

I was on Delancey Street

looking for Torah covers...

...but really I was at a revival house

watching The Way We Were.

So Ben couldn't find me to say good-bye.

Hey.

Yeah, she's found.

Shabbos.

Yeah.

I'll be there in 30 minutes.

Okay.

All right, bye.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Want some help?

Sure.

Here, you want to translate?

"On Tuesday, Kate buys an apple pie.

"She eats two-fifths of the pie that night.

"On Thursday, she takes out the pie again

and eats two-fifths of what is left."

You see what I mean?

What's the lowest common denominator?

So five... five times five is 25.

Remember, two-fifths of what's left.

So... so it's 9/25.

So the answer is "D"?

You know this, you're just over-studied.

- You know what I do when I feel burnt out?

- What?

I told you I don't really know how to swim.

I'll teach you.

You planning

on swimming in your towel?

Hey, Leah, I forgot to tell you

that Carol and I are leaving

Wednesday for Jamaica.

I'll be back Sunday, but we'll talk before then.

Herbert loves those scary movies.

You know, any excuse to grab for me.

Though I did make him pick

me up that one movie...

you know, the one you told me about...

Doctor Zhivago.

Leah?

I'm in love with him, Em.

Oh.

Well, have you two, you know...?

No.

Of course not.

Jake loves Carol.

How could I have let this happen?

He's taking her to Jamaica.

Well, maybe to try to convince himself

there's nothing between you and him.

Oh,

honey.

You are not the type of person

to have these feelings for no reason.

Obviously,

I am.

He was just being nice.

Here, men can be nice and take you to dinner...

...and swimming, and it doesn't mean anything.

I've got to move out, Em.

Leah.

Hi, I'm calling about the studio apartment.

Is that still available?

Yeah, that would be great.

Oh.

Could you hold on?

Hi, Mama.

No, I'm shopping for dinner.

I think this arrhythmia case is

a better choice for Journal Club.

Dr. Lever,

your wife is on the phone.

- My what?

- Your wife.

Leah?

My mother is coming here.

When?

- Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

Yes.

She's coming to check on us... and this marriage.

Uh... I have got to make

your place look like a home.

Leah, why don't you just tell her?

No, n... you don't "just tell" Mama.

Well, this might be the perfect

time to stand up to her.

Just tell her the truth about us.

You don't understand.

She will make my life a living hell.

She can do that.

She's a professional.

Look, I know you're going away,

and I can just make something

up about why you're not there,

but...

if you'd help me to get

your apartment into shape,

I promise I'll never ask

anything of you ever again.

Well?

We'll take it.

Excellent.

What else?

Um, curtains.

end tables, lamps.

Let me see.

Let's get a rug for the coffee table.

I've got some fantastic area rugs,

20% off.

Those pillows are perfect.

Right up her alley.

Which medical conference

should I say you're attending?

Let me look at the schedule

to see what's coming up.

Hi.

How did you like the...?

Um, we're looking

for very simple wedding bands like those.

What are you going to make your mom for dinner?

Um, brisket.

I do love your brisket.

What?

You're not going to believe this.

It involves Leah.

Her mother... she's coming.

I have to help her.

I'm sorry, but I have to.

I-I will more than make this up to you...

I will do the re-booking.

Whenever you say... next week

if that works for you.

Really, no more interferences.

You told me that she was

going to get her own place

and you were gonna end this marriage.

I know.

But I felt like a jerk.

I mean, she came down here for me.

I just can't abandon her.

Good-bye, Jake.

Dr. Lao, pick up extension 632.

Dr. Lao, pick up extension 632.

- Thank you for coming with me.

- Yeah, of course.

Oh, when you get to Jamaica

don't forget to call

to make it look like you're checking in.

Well, actually, there's been a change in plans.

I'm staying.

Really?

Vayzmeer!

What?

If you're staying,

that means I'll be sleeping in
