Okay. What are they?

Just some papers finishing off your loan.

Okay.

What do you mean

finishing off my loan?

What do you mean? Your loans were paid off.

Just need you to sign here..

.. and here.

And congratulations.

That must be quite a relief.

You are the sweetest man!

That's something I am able to do for you.

You do a lot for me.

I don't give you very much..

Financial things - yes.

But.. that's easy for me.

I know it's hard for you to be close.

Sorry.

there's one other.. this one.

It's made of saman, raw.

It's fabulous.

Caroline, it's Lisa.

Did you sell one of those

flower-print dresses this week?

Besides two.

Uh, yeah. Some guy came in,

bought one for his girlfriend.

What is the name on the credit card?

Okay, hang on for a second.

Ray Porter?

- Hello?

- Hi, it's Ray, I'm just about to land.

I'll be about half an hour late,

can I meet you at the gallery?

Okay.

Excuse me, young lady!

Mirabelle.

It's me.

Jeremy?

- Nice to see you again.

- Hi!

I.. You look so different.

Yeah, I know.

Uhh, changes!

Do you realise that I've been

on the road for a very long time now-

I guess you have, yeah.

Yeah, and..

I've been trying to break into the moment.

That's been my work.

I don't get paid for it but it's my unwork.

Work.

I feel unprepared to see you.

But it's so nice to see you again.

Are you going to the road to gallery?

Yeah. Are you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm..

.. leaving town tomorrow and I wasn't sure if

I get the chance to see the show before it closes...

.. and I'm a huge fan of the.. artist.

Had a big influence on my stencil.

Great.

- Two things.

- Yes.

One.

You look great.

And second.

Would you walk in there with me?

- Sure.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Well, let's go.

You look amazing!

Well, you look amazing!

-Are you taller?

-I'm on great hills.

- Really?

-Yeah

He's younger than I thought.

Are you going there alone?

- I'm meeting a friend.

- Oh, she's..

He's.

He's..

You want something at the bar?

- Not yet.

- I'm gonna get something so...

.. see you in a minute?

- Okay. I'll just be walking around.

- Okay.

Bye, Mirabelle.

Hi.

Can I have the mohito?

Mohito.

For you.

Oh, my God.

I have never seen anyone else wore..

one of those.

Yeah, I just.. I just love the color.

Good.. I mean..

- Yeah.

- Wait.

You have to take a first sip with your eyes closed.

Like this.

Go ahead.

See?

Nothing to distract you from the very first taste.

How was it?

Noisy.

I have a secret.

Go ahead.

I know who you are.

How do you know who I am?

I hear about people who are working in the art.

I'm Lisa. Ray.

Hi Lisa Ray.

Sense of humour.

It's good, it's good.

You, uhm..

Do you..

What is it?

- I can't, I can't-

- What?

- I can't-

- Just tell me.

I'm shy..

Stop.. Look, I'm shy.

Do you want a drink later?

Yes.

Great.

When do you wanna leave?

Now!

You know what else I like?

I think I like Ray Porter.

Oh, I can't wait to meet him.

Okay, bye!

Hey!

-Sorry I'm late, you want to take a walk?

-Sure.

I don't have a car,

could you give me a ride?

Yeah, mine's in a lot.

Hey, do you want to go to the IV?

It's still early and everything.

Sure!

Why don't we just go home?

Okay.

Those handcuffs..?

We're gonna find out.

Mmm, Ray..

Oh, Ray..

Oh, Ray!

- Oh, Ray!

- Oh, Ray!

Well, we missed the Lakers.

Do you care?

I wish I did. I'd be such a guy.

I'm gonna get some water.

- Oh, let me get you something!

- No, I'll get it. You want some?

Yes.

Sweetheart.

What?

Nothing.

Do you want a toast or toaster waffle?

Toaster waffle.

Hello?

Oh, did I wake you?

It's Jeremy.

Who?

Sorry, speakerphone. It's Jeremy.

Oh.. Who's Jeremy?

What do you mean, who's Jeremy?

Have we met?

This is Jeremy, we met last night.

Was that you, girl?

Oh, you mean we met at the gallery?

At the gallery, yes. We did all the-

I don't believe we did all the positions

and you called me big daddy..

Oh, Ray..

Oh, Ray!

Oh Ray.

Oh Ray, Oh Ray, Oh Ray, Oh Ray!

What?

You don't know who this is?

Yeah.

This is Ray Porter from last night.

Okay. Who is Ray Porter?

Your waffle is ready.

- Hey, guess what.

- What?

I'm moving into New York next week.

I've decided to look for an apartment there.

- You'll move there?

- No, it's just a place to stay when I'm there.

No more luggage, woohoo!

Like a crash-pad.

You lucky mister.

After I've looked for a three-bedroomed

in case I meet someone and have kids.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

Ray.

Why don't you love me?

Are you just buying your time with me?

I thought you'd understood.

So..

I can either hurt now..

.. or hurt later.

Now, I guess.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE

DINNER WITH YOU. RAY PORTER.

Goodbye, Mirabelle.

And good luck.

So can I borrow only two bucks?

I'm just kidding.

Here.

This is the only thing that

really means to me in my life.

Thanks.

- Thank you.

- Of course.

Okay.

I've been reading a lot of books on tape..

.. about..

.. getting into the moment.

And.

I think.

This is the moment. And in the moment..

.. this moment.. I, I..

.. I think we should kiss.

And, um.

I've stood right here before and I've been hurt!

I've been rejectifying you.

And I'm gonna ask you to kiss me again.

And.. um..

A- And..

Will you just kiss me?

Jeremy.

So what made you do all of this?

All of this what?

All this..

.. success?

Well, you did.

- I did?

- Mhm.

How?

Well, you said.. "just do it".

So I did it.

That's not very much.

Yeah, but..

I'll protect you.

I will!

Some nights alone he thinks of her.

And some nights alone..

.. she thinks of him.

Some nights these thoughts occur

at the same moment.

And Ray and Mirabelle are connected

without ever knowing it.

But Mirabelle, now feeling the warmth

of her first reciprocal love..

.. has broken away from him.

And as Jeremy offers her more of his heart,

Mirabelle offers equal parts of herself in return.

One night, sooner than she would have liked..

.. which made it irresistible..

.. they make love for the

second time in 14 months.

At this point..

.. Jeremy surpasses Ray Porter

as a lover of Mirabelle..

.. because what he offers her..

.. is tender..

.. and true.

So.

- The night we'll go from influe, one of those

- Yeah.

- read of.. uhh, um..

- Yeah.

- D, D, D, D.. Do?

- Doobie.

- Doobie?

- Doobie? I don't.. Dobiah?

What is it called?

I'm just gonna go talk to my friend.

I'll be back in a second.

My girlfriend did these.

- Did you get my birthday present?

- I did!

Yeah.

Did you get my thank-you note?

Oh. Yeah. Yes, yes. I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

- It's okay.

You look nice.

Thank you.

Are you happy?

I am.

- A lower intensity is nice.

- Yeah.

Who's your girlfriend?

Uh, she's a doctor.

Hypochondriac no more?

Shall take you out!

Well, she's a gynaecologist.

Then you'll have a lot to discuss.

Are you happy?

Yeah.

I'm.. I'm always a low edgy.

Restless.

That's a good word.

I want you to have a drawing of me sleeping.
