MARY:

I don’t need you to find me a

boyfriend.

REBECCA:

Oh, sorry.

MARY:

If I wanted a boyfriend, I’d have

one.

72 INT. X-RAY ROOM - DAY 72

Rebecca is giving YOUNG WOMAN a mammogram.

REBECCA:

They were incredible, really

beautiful.

YOUNG WOMAN:

I don't have a car.

REBECCA:

Oh, you can rent one. Or even take

the train.

Rebecca fits the enormous breast on the plate of glass.

REBECCA:

Just a little bit more...

YOUNG WOMAN:

Oh, there's always more.

REBECCA:

But you have to hurry because

they're just about to end. New York

Magazine -

YOUNG WOMAN:

I hate New York Magazine.

The woman winces as Rebecca closes the glass on the breast.

YOUNG WOMAN:

That really hurts.

REBECCA:

(apologetic)

Unfortunately, the more it hurts,

the better picture we get.

YOUNG WOMAN:

Oh. Okay.

REBECCA:

But seriously, it’s really worth it

if you get the chance to go!

73 INT. RADIOLOGY RECEPTION AREA - DAY 73

Cathy and Marissa are filing when Rebecca enters the area.

They glance at her.

CATHY:

(smug)

Their peak was last week.

MARISSA:

Yeah. It was definitely last week.

74 INT. FACE WORKS SPA - DAY 74

Alex is fast asleep on Mary's facial table. She is shaking

him.

MARY:

Alex. You have to wake up. Alex.

The spa is closing.

He slowly opens his eyes.

ALEX:

I’m so tired.

MARY:

Yeah, well you have to go.

He climbs off, disoriented.

ALEX:

How long was I asleep for?

MARY:

A long time.

ALEX:

I hate falling asleep in the middle

of the day. I wake up feeling so

lonely.

She looks at him.

75 EXT. STREET - DAY 75

Kate is walking, depressed. She passes a store that looks a

lot like her’s, and stops to look through the window.

KATE’S POINT OF VIEW

A HIP YOUNG COUPLE gesticulate excitedly about a fabulous

lamp. She stares at them.

76 INT. FURNITURE STORE - DAY 76

Kate wanders around the store. She glances at some price

tags, feels a couple of chairs. She sees a table that looks

just like the one she sold recently to the Young Man. She

goes to it, curious, and reads the price - $5,000. Surprised,

she glances up and instantly sees the man she sold the table

to (for $3,000). This is his store, and that was her table.

At first she’s pissed, feels cheated, and is about to

confront him. But The Man is helping another customer with a

lot of concentration and Kate loses her steam. She decides

instead to simply sit down on a nice couch and rest.

A 60 year old woman, dressed overly-chic, (she’s ANITA), is

already sitting there.

ANITA:

Designer?

KATE:

Resting.

ANITA:

I’m a designer. I buy a lot from

Kevin. He’s got great taste,

doesn’t he? Except for that awful

thing.

Anita points to a leather chair that’s weird looking.

KATE:

That’s a rare piece.

ANITA:

It’s still ugly. I think it’s

haunted. It has a bad vibe.

(beat)

Old furniture has to have some

ghosts. Don’t you think?

Untitled Nicole Holofcener Project 2008 - Yellow 5/19/08 73.

KATE:

I do think that, yes.

ANITA:

How can it not? Right? I had this

bed, it was iron, Victorian.

Gorgeous. Fabulous detail. I had

nightmares for a year. And I

developed TMJ. Got rid of the bed,

no more TMJ, no more nightmares.

Kate smiles at her, and then watches Kevin.

KATE:

(re:
Kevin)

Nice guy?

ANITA:

Prick. Good taste. Still a prick.

78 INT. MODERN AGE - DAY 78

Alex and Kate are turning the lights on all of the lamps

around the store. TWO ANNOYED SHOPPERS wander around touching

furniture.

ANNOYED SHOPPER:

(quietly)

My grandmother had this exact

couch.

OTHER ANNOYED SHOPPER

Where is it now?

ANNOYED SHOPPER:

Here, apparently. Nobody knew to

save it. I’m sure my mother thought

it was junk.

(sing song)

Someone’s making a killing.

They glance at Kate and Alex.

KATE:

(unaware)

Isn’t that beautiful? Original

upholstery.

ANNOYED SHOPPER:

What a find.

KATE:

I know.

OTHER ANNOYED SHOPPER

Where do you find this stuff?

KATE:

(beat)

Why?

OTHER ANNOYED SHOPPER

Do you buy from individuals or

like, a store in Queens? I’m just

curious.

Untitled Nicole Holofcener Project 2008 - Yellow 5/19/08 75.

KATE:

Individuals.

ALEX:

(defensive)

We buy from the children of dead

people.

ANNOYED SHOPPER:

(beat)

How nice.

ALEX:

Yes.

Kate smiles, grateful. The Annoyed Shopper walks off.

ANNOYED SHOPPER:

(to his friend)

Look at this table. This would look

great in at your place in New

Paltz.

OTHER ANNOYED SHOPPER

It would. It’s beautiful.

The phone rings and Kate answers it.

KATE:

Modern Age...yes, we do. Oh, I’m

sorry to hear that...

ANNOYED SHOPPER:

(under his breath)

Ambulance chaser.

79 INT. DEAD MOM’S APARTMENT - NIGHT 79

Kate is being shown around the apartment by a distraught,

DON, 40.

DON:

Mom loved her things. But she never

said what we should do with them.

A cold woman, ELYSE, also 40, comes into the room.

ELYSE:

Are you from the Salvation Army?

DON:

She’s from a store on tenth avenue.

Untitled Nicole Holofcener Project 2008 - Yellow 5/19/08 76.

ELYSE:

A junk store?

KATE:

More of a vintage, or mid century

modern -

ELYSE:

She doesn’t want this sh*t, Don. I

told you to call the Salvation

Army.

Kate looks around the cluttered place. True, everything is

junky, worthless.

DON:

She can say if she doesn’t want

anything. But maybe she will.

ELYSE:

(to Kate)

Would you please wake this man up?

None of this is worth anything.

Right? He wasted your time.

DON:

(to Kate)

Look at this chair. This was her

favorite.

(beat, quietly)

She died in it.

Kate looks at the old, yellow chair.

ELYSE:

Now she’s really going to want to

buy it!

KATE:

Actually, I think I could take this

dining table and chairs. And

probably the side tables.

Don looks at Elyse, happy.

ELYSE:

For how much.

KATE:

Two thousand.

ELYSE:

Are you serious?

Untitled Nicole Holofcener Project 2008 - Yellow 5/19/08 77.

KATE:

And the yellow chair.

DON:

(vindicated)

Mom had good taste.

80 INT. ANDRA’S APARTMENT - DAY 80

Mary is staring down at Andra, who is cutting coupons at the

dining table. Andra holds out a fat stack for her.

ANDRA:

Use these.

MARY:

I will not.

ANDRA:

What are you talking about, ‘I will

not’?

MARY:

I won’t.

ANDRA:

You’ll take my coupons.

MARY:

No, I won’t.

ANDRA:

You’re too good for coupons?

MARY:

They depress me.

(beat)

If you want me to go shopping for

you, give me your list.

ANDRA:

Why can’t Rebecca go?

MARY:

I told you. She’s busy.

ANDRA:

She’s never busy.

MARY:

That’s been lucky for you, hasn’t

it? Give me your list.
