and let us visit again real soon.

Love always, Grandma.

BRIDGET:
Dear Nasrin,

you deserve more than a letter...

...but as you probably guessed,

I suck at goodbyes.

You said archaeology

is more than finding bones.

And you were right.

People do have a power over us,

even after they're gone.

When my mother took her own life,

I tried to forget the past.

I ran away from the pain because....

Well, I guess I was afraid.

But the past is always with us,

and it's time I stop running.

Thank you for the lesson. Bridget.

AIas, FIorizeI, I know not

'tween the turkey cIub sandwich...

...or the HamIet and cheese omeIet.

What say you?

WeII, I come not to bury Caesar,

but to have a caesar saIad.

-Ooh.

-Now teII me about you.

OnIy chiId? Brothers and sisters?

OnIy chiId.

Oh, no. WeII, not for Iong.

My mom is gonna have a baby.

It's kind of a Iong story.

Or not that Iong of a story.

-Hey. Am I interrupting?

-No, not at aII.

-Great. Can we take this chair? Thanks.

-Sure.

Sit down.

Do you know JuIia? Ian.

Yeah, we've met once or twice.

Ian's famiIy are in the theater,

just Iike mine.

-You went to RADA with 20 of my friends.

-RADA?

RoyaI Academy of Dramatic Art,

it's in London.

Oh.

-Did you hear about Patrick O'HouIihan?

-Lucky bastard.

I'm hoping to catch the show

when I go to New York.

We shouId get a whoIe group of

peopIe together and surprise him.

Sounds fun.

-Jam, on your Iip.

-Oh.

You know, we reaIIy shouId order.

We've got a rehearsaI to get back to.

Caesar saIad, pIease.

[JAMES OTTO'S ''SUNSET MAN''

PLAYING ON STEREO]

BRIDGET:

HeIIo?

Excuse me, sir?

Hi. Greta?

Um, I'm reaIIy sorry.

I shouId have caIIed first, but I'm....

I think I know my own granddaughter.

You're not running away from home,

are you?

No, actuaIIy, I'm coming home,

from Turkey.

That's an interesting sense of direction.

So you fix your own car?

Cars are easy.

It's peopIe you need a manuaI for.

Come on in. You must be exhausted.

BRIDGET:

Yep. You don't even know.

GRETA:
Why don't you go right up

and get some rest?

-HeIIo!

-Hey.

Hey. Wow, you Iook great.

You think? Thanks.

So, what's the occasion?

Um, Ian asked me to dinner.

I mean, I can be so dense sometimes.

I didn't even know

that he Iiked me that way.

-Did you?

-No.

But, then again,

I can be pretty dense too so....

I just thought he

might have said something to you...

...because you guys have become

such good friends. You know men.

So you're going, then?

You're going on a date?

Yeah. I mean, he's gorgeous,

and he's reaIIy nice, and...

...he's reaIIy reaI. For an actor, anyway.

I just thought, why not give it a chance?

We have so much in common anyway,

and it might reaIIy work.

I know you need sIeep

before rehearsaI tomorrow.

I'II be reaIIy quiet when I come home,

but don't wait up.

-I won't.

-Okay. WeII, have a good night.

Thanks, Greta.

Grandma.

I'm sorry, I don't know which....

I haven't heard from you in...

...1 0 or 1 2 years.

I know.

Look, my dad,

he hid your Ietters from me.

I just found them this summer.

I see.

So I guess we can skip...

...junior high and high schooI.

How's coIIege?

It's good. I haven't decIared

a major yet, but....

Got a feIIa?

No, not at the moment.

Listen, you ought to kick up

some troubIe now...

...because in 40 years,

they'II aII teII you you're oId.

You made that the summer you visited.

You must have been about

I've been here before?

WeII, that was a Iong time ago.

TIBBY:

''Return to sender.''

Super.

O, the fates. How wouId he Iook to see

his work, so nobIe, viIeIy bound up?

KERR:

Stop.

Again.

O, the fates. How wouId he Iook to

see his work, so nobIe--

KERR:

Stop. Again.

O, the fates.

How wouId he Iook to see his--

Stop right there.

Carmen, is there a probIem?

No. I don't know.

Did I say the wrong Iine?

No.

You're supposed to sound Iike

a woman in Iove.

You sound Iike a woman

who's about to have a root canaI.

Again.

O, the fates. How wouId he Iook to s--

I hear the driII.

Again!

Carmen, wait.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to be

screwing everything up Iike this.

You've got great instincts.

You just need to trust them.

Why don't we work on it together,

tonight?

No. It's okay.

I shouId just work on it aIone. Thanks.

-Oh, my God, that was torture.

-Hey.

-AII I couId think about was drawing you.

-Sorry to interfere with your concentration.

That's okay. I don't mind.

Okay.

Okay.

WeII, I guess you have to get back

to cIass, huh?

Yes.

I guess.

I'II see you Iater.

I'II see you.

KOSTOS:

Lena!

There was no choice but to be married.

My grandfather, I think he couId see

I did not Iove her.

And then that day at the funeraI,

she saw it too.

That my heart wouId aIways beIong

to someone eIse.

And that is when

she toId me...

...there never was a baby.

We had the marriage annuIIed.

I wanted to teII you right away.

But I was afraid. I didn't think

I had the right to ask your forgiveness.

-Maybe it's too much to hope you couId--

-Forgive you?

I forgive you.

-Lena, I thought--

-That I'd be waiting for you to come here?

No. I didn't expect anything.

I just wanted you to know the truth.

WeII...

...thank you.

The truth is we Ioved each other

a Iong time ago.

And my Iife is so different now.

Lena, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No, it's okay. It's fine.

Don't worry about it.

I have to get to cIass.

[REGINA SPEKTOR'S ''BETTER''

PLAYS O VER SPEAKERS]

New York is so cooI.

Mom and I, we came up to see Hairspray

and do a IittIe shopping.

WAITRESS:
Can I get you guys anything?

-Just give us a minute.

WAITRESS:

Okay.

So you and Brian broke up, huh?

I guess.

Do you think you're over it yet?

Over him, I mean?

Like you wouIdn't be upset or anything if

you found out he was dating someone eIse?

Effie, what's this about?

I guess it's about wanting to know if....

If you'd be okay with me dating Brian?

Of course I said I didn't mind.

I just think it's a IittIe weird, you know?

She's not even his type.

And she's reaIIy young, which is gross.

I can't beIieve he wouId actuaIIy ask her

out. Do you think he wouId ask her out?

Whatever. It doesn't matter.

I don't reaIIy care.

I'm just curious, you know.

It kind of sounds Iike you care, Tibby.

Otherwise you wouIdn't be here freaking out.

Like you're the poster girI

for even tempers?

I'm just saying

you can't have it both ways.

If you didn't want Brian dating other girIs,

then you shouIdn't have broken up with him.

Pretty simpIe.

You don't have a cIue

why Brian and I broke up.

WeII, do you?

Carmen, I was just kind of hoping

for some support.

Not a Iecture and some psychobabbIe.

I didn't drive aII the way up here in rush hour

traffic just so you couId read your book!

I'm studying my Iines, Tibby. What do you

want me to do, just stop my Iife?

It's not Iike I was exactIy expecting you!

I haven't heard from you in what, a month?

Where the heII is this coming from?
