Remember Sunday Page #2

I know it's not... a big dream.

OK, but it is to you. So show it some

respect, and get yourself organized.

- Hi! Ha, ha, ha, ha.

- Good morning!

- Hey!

- Good to see ya!

- Hey, man.

You're a minute late!

Hey, you okay? You need to talk about it?

So, I call you every morning, huh?

- You need me to come over?

- No, no, it's OK. Ummm...

Luce, I left California and moved

back to New Orleans, because of this?

Yeah, so, you could be close to

the familiar... so I could be

here for you, whenever you need me.

And Jerry... too.

Thank you... you know, for-for putting all this togther and just...

- helping me.

- What are sisters for?

Venus, you said Venus. Anyway, umm,

Have a nice day, a nice, life.

Uh, oh, my name's Molly.

Remember Suzy Watkins, 5th grade?

She gave you all her Valentines.

- What does that have to do...

- Lily Gazinski, Junior year?

She asked you to Junior Prom.

I didn't even stand a chance!

Until you moved to California.

12 years, of school, watching

women just fall into your lap.

And what did I always get?

I got a double feature at home, with popcorn

and my sister. And I even had

a flat stomach, back then.

- Even Brenda liked you better than me.

- Jerry.

- Who... is... Molly?

- Yeah, right, uh, Molly. Um...

I'd say... nice girl, probably not very pretty.

Uh, sensitive type, big heart,

playful sense of curiosity.

Kinda psycho leaves messages for strangers?

How do you like her?

- I like her. alright,

- Only you.

I have paying clients and a case to win.

- Get lost! Go! I mean, you have to leave!

- Yeah, I-I picked up on that.

- Yes.

- Yeah, you leave now, yeah!

- Oh, whoa!

- Whoa!

- Sorry!

- Oh, my Gosh! I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean

to startle you like that.

Oh, hi, I-I didn't realize you worked here.

Um, it's me, you remember?

Gus, right? I um, I waited on you.

Uh, sorry if I, freaked you out that day.

I was... having one of those days.

Actually, this is one of those days, too.

I need to sell this.

It's pretty pricey. Umm, it was a gift.

But, I am, like, broke, so I'll

take half of whatever it's worth.

- I'm really sorry, but I-I-I can't help you out today.

- Tomorrow, then? You tell me.

Uhhh, no, really, I mean, I-I can't.

- Why not?

- Uh, well, because it's a.... fake.

- Noooo!

- Yeah.

- It can't be!

- Yeah. Come here, I'll show you.

Let's see. Yeah, right there. So!

Genuine article. Yours.

You can tell, first off, by the finish.

Then you can really feel the difference... here.

You can kinda feel the difference, there.

And then, really, the, the kicker

is there is a trademark,

on the real deal and, unfortunately,

that is missing, on yours.

- Oh, of course!

- Sorry. You alright?

- Worthless, lying, jerk!

- Jewel!

- Which one was that?

- I'm so sorry, I did not mean, to do that... I...

I s... oh, "Forever, Roger". So, we're good.

- OK.

I'm so sorry. Um, yeah, forever didn't

actually turn out to be that long.

Thank you for looking at it, anyway.

Yeah... hey, that's a really nice ring

you've got there, with the rubies?

- What, this one?

- Yeah. you mind if I take a look at it?

- Um, it's got half the stones missing.

- So they are.

Ha, ha. But still, it's a really nice ring.

And there's plenty of stones still in it.

It's my great aunt's... was.

She had... really great taste.

She certainly did.

It's a, it's an old Victorian setting,

we rarely see these nowadays.

$50.

- I-I can't, I can't pay that.

- Well, it's worth at least 50...

I-I mean... I kinda need the money.

Here you go.

- $200? No, I said 50!

- It's worth more than 50,

and I couldn't possibly pay you less.

I've lived here for almost three years.

That's, two cars,

four apartments, three

boyfriends and 360,000 strangers

and that is just... one of the nicest

things that anybody's done for me.

- I don't know about that...

- Thank you.

- Oh, um... I'm sorry, what was your name again?

- Molly. I'm Molly. Thanks again.

-Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Molly, have a good day.

- Yeah, you, too.

Save for Molly

He owns a what? A jewelry store?

No, I-I mean, I don't know. He's

just, a nice guy. Like you said.

Nice and needy, nice and delinquent...

nice and what?

I could be right about him.

- Oh, Molly!

- What? I'm just being nice, back to a nice guy.

- I mean, what's wrong with that?

- Skip the flower...

makes you look desperate.

Hi, Sam. Oh, Sam!

Hey, I'm sorry. I looked, but I don't

think I've ever even seen a blue diamond.

We gotta find it, Gus.

Listen, this just came. Slipped under the door.

Dear Gus, thank you for noticing the flowers.

You've made my day. Molly.

She sent you a dead flower? In my

opinion, this Molly is asking you out.

She's practically stalking you.

Write her back, or a call her.

- I don't even know her!

- What!?

She left a message on your,

what's it, recorder thing,

she sent a note to your workplace,

how much more do you need to know?

How much more do I need to know?

Alright, look, you had an aneurysm, alright,

your short term memory is gone, you lost a lot.

Thankfully, you're still alive.

And you can remember all the important stuff

from before your brain crashed. Like me.

But, Gus, you're not living.

We've all had traumas.

I mean, I got divorced from a woman I

thought I'd spend the rest of my life with.

I know it's not the same

thing, but, Gus, call her

and ask her out. What's the

worst that could happen?

Wait, what... you and Brenda got a divorce?

Yes! Would you get out of here?

You're blowing my lunch meeting.

Hi, Molly, this is Gus.

Hi, this is Jolene. Oh, and Molly.

Wait for the beep.

Who's Jolene? Who is Jo...? Hey! Hi,

uh, hi, ha, it's a little loud, sorry. Um...

This is uh, Gus... Gillenwater. Um, Molly's...

note person.

Look, I just realized that

on my schedule, I just saw

that I got some, I got some

free time, on Friday...

night. And thought, I dunno, you and I

could, could grab some dinner... somewhere.

Uh, maybe at, uh, Cafe Amelie... on Royal.

They got, they got some great... foods.

Uhh, 7:
30, if that works for you.

I could just meet you there.

So, again, this is Gus... Gillenwater.

OK, bye.

Deposit paycheck. Oh, and at 7:30 you

have a date with Molly, Cafe Amelie.

Gus? Gus? Max, you stay there.

- Hello?

- Gus?

Is that you? It's Bernadette.

My son, Max, and I, we live upstairs?

Oh, thank goodness! That's better. Ha!

Forgive me, I-I have, uh, issues... with

my memory. Remembering things, so...

- i-if have to ask your name, like...

- You're doing fine, Gus.

- You need anything?

- Uhhh...

- No, no, I guess not.

- OK. Good night.

- Good night.

- Max? Max, what are you doing?

Molly!

- Where is Molly, now?

- In the back.

Molly?

Hey, Molly!

- Yeah?

- What you doing?

I'm off. Check the schedule. Then

at 7:
00, I've got an engagement.

Oh, excuses! A date!?

- Hard to believe, but yes.

- A good man?

- I think so.

- You're a pretty girl, Molly.

- Uh, ha.
