The Rebound Page #6

Synopsis: Sandy, upon discovering her husband's infidelity while watching her son's birthday video, leaves the suburbs and moves into the city. She gets an apartment that's above a coffee house where she befriends one of the workers, Aram, a guy whose wife only married him so she could get a green card. Aram's family thinks he's wasting his life and education by working in the coffee house. Soon after moving into the apartment, Sandy hires Aram to be her nanny while she takes on work for the first time since her children were born. It isn't long when Aram and Sandy find they get along wonderfully and start to date. But the question is: is their relationship real or is it, in fact, just a rebound for both of them?

You know, i'm just kidding, I'm just

Don't you wanna

travel around the world, you know

get crazy, rock Cleveland

do things that people

your age supposed to do?

Rock Cleveland?

Yeah, rock it.

Live.

To tell you the truth this is the most alive I've ever felt.

You're too so goddamn romantic.

What about kids? Kids of your own..

It's not like you're 50.

But I'm an old 40.

What the hell does that mean?

I'm wrinkling.

You have no wrinkles on your face, do you?

You seem to have eyes, something that I really love about you.

I love you.

and when you compliment me I love it, when you compliment me.

You know, I heard you the first time.

I have no idea what you were preferring to.

-- No? You said I love you.

-- I didn't say that.

I'm pretty sure you did.

And I love you too.

Really?

Sorry, but I do.

Just ... take it slowly.

Slowly.

Teram Owens, the man who wore baggage than a first class passenger on the Titanic

Reaching but funny.

T.O. the pig fan of the National Football League

wherever he goes he is surrounded by distinct controversy.

I like it.

Sex really agrees with your creative side.

Are you alright, sweetie? You look pale.

No, I'm just dizzy from following you around.

Well, get that to me, please.

Right away.

Alright.

It helps me think.

We should talk.

I knew this was coming.

You think that books that I read are too juvenile.

I know, it's just I've always liked this stuff..

I'm pregnant.

But ...

I pull out most of the time.

I know you're not ready for this, just wanted to let you know that

I feel the same way from you...

I just thought that you wanted to take things slowly.

I did.

This is ...

big.

Very ... big.

I should've been more careful.

I know this sounds crazy

but I think I wanted this to happen.

What?

You said it yourself you don't wanna just coast

not just coast along but this isn't coasting.

This is a roller coasting.

Oh, my God.

Not Oh God ... this is a good thing,

not the roller coasting thing, that was cheesy but...

having a baby with you that's not cheesy.

I mean ... that's not what I'm saying just...

excited, I wanna be your father.

What?

No, I wanna be a father with you as the mother, that's the important part.

You being a mother.

You know, I thought, I hope that kid is like you

I hope the kid's like you.

A girl with brown eyes ...

or a boy with brown eyes ...

or just any color eyes

Well, it's not the baby's head, not your size.

What about Gium?

For a boy.

Gium Finklestein?

Okay.

What about Ira?

The doctor will see you now.

Great.

Okay so...

So?

The blood work is normal.

In other words, your are healthy.

And that is always a good sign for future pregnancy.

What do you mean future?

I mean, this here is what we call an ectopic pregnancy.

There are any number explanations for this,

it's not necessarily because of your age.

God.

This is something that happens

periodically.

An embryo was formed but it intruded inside the fallopian tube

instead of the uterus.

Sandy, Sandy, Sandy ...

This was crazy.

I mean, what were we thinking, anyway?

You are so young.

God!

You live at your parent's house and technically you work for me

and I was thinking about having your baby?

What is going on?

So you have to know?

Can we just find out?

That is a deceivingly mature thing to say.

Why is it deceiving?

Because you're 25 years old ...

you get drunk off half a beer

and you read the Harry Potter series in your spare time.

A lot of adult read those books.

And besides the way I remembered it, you're the one that asked me out

I appreciate that you feel this could work

more than you'll ever know.

You were such a good person

real special person,

I mean not filing a divorce so your horrible ex-wife can get a green card

What'd be the point?

See, that's what I mean, someone like you

shouldn't be with someone like me.

An old girlfriend with two kids.

You're an ageist ...

Yeah, yeah ... I'm an old ageist.

Oh please, don't patronize me.

I may live with my parents and get drunk off half a beer

and yeah, I admit to being slightly adrift as far in my life

but I'm not a complete idiot ...

I know how I feel about you.

It's you that doesn't know

how you feel about me.

I just wish you had the guts to say it.

You've meant so much to me and my family

but this doesn't make sense.

And what future can we possibly have?

You know what I'm gonna miss the most?

It's you...

Your friendship.
