Then She Found Me Page #5

- No, please, after you.

OK.

Everybody say, "Sake bomb!"

Sake bomb!

- Oh, my gosh!

- You're telling me!

- I love these.

- I knew I liked you.

I don't drink like this.

Well, tonight you do.

- Am I being too nice to her?

- No!

- Not nice enough?

- What do you mean?

This is your mother. Are you getting

what you want from me as your date?

Oh, God, just that you asked.

You're perfect.

Thank God you're here!

I am perfect, by the way.

I'm glad you noticed.

Just to get this in...

before we're hopelessly drunk.

I'm so glad you called.

I know we're not ready,

but I love talking to you.

You move me.

This moves me,

that you're trying this with her.

I'm so glad I'm here.

Oh!

God, I'm sorry!

After he said something like that?

They should make those things illegal.

I'm sure it's my brother. I'm sure.

I'm sorry. I just worry. Sorry.

- Is it you?

- It's me.

Oh.

Hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Sorry, hi.

- Everything all right?

- Yes.

- Who's that?

- No one. I'm sorry, I'll be right back.

- Hello?

- Yeah, I'm here.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

So, how are you? Where are you?

Nowhere special. Decided to drift around

for a while, you know - get lost.

Let the road take me

where it wants me to go.

- Just tell me.

- I'm at my mom's.

- That's perfect!

- Don't do that.

- What?

- Humiliate me.

- Do you know the actual, physical pain...

- Why are you calling me?

Because I miss you, and I thought now

that some time has passed...

It's been 23 days, you idiot!

You're ready to be my friend?

Well... OK, I'm glad I called.

- Well, take care...

- My mom died.

- Did you say...

- Talk to you later.

- Wait, when?

- 22 days ago.

Why didn't you call me?

Oh, I don't know,

I guess I just didn't feel that close to you.

I have to, I have to see you.

- Oh, no. I'll end up in bed with you and...

- I want to be there.

Really? Do you promise to be there for

better or worse, for richer and poorer,

- in sickness...

- I miss you.

How much?

A lot.

Enough?

That's what I thought.

Be a man and leave me alone!

"For better or worse. "

I'm gonna guess not your brother, right?

No.

Oh, where are you going?

- I think I'm leaving.

- Please don't leave!

- Now where you going?

- I'm not leaving.

- You just said you were leaving.

- I was then, now I'm not.

But you're walking away.

I have to do something.

OK. Are we doing it yet?

All right, look,

you were just talking to your husband

about for better or worse

and god knows what else,

and I just, I feel...

Aargh!

F***!

When I feel this way, I find it helps

to take my "Aargh f***" out for a walk,

so that's what I'm doing,

and you're not invited.

But I will say this, this is a first date,

and if you're not done with him

who you're married to,

if you two aren't done, it's fine.

It's more than fine.

Just tell me. I'm not ready, anyway.

- Frank, I'm done with him.

- It's OK if you're not.

- But I am.

- How do I know?

You're gonna have to... trust me.

You kidding me?

And it doesn't feel like a first date,

not to me.

You wait until we try to say good night.

I'm sorry again,

and I had a wonderful time with you.

I did, too.

See?

I haven't done this for a long, long time,

so, forgive me for not finding

a sexier way to put this,

- but would you like to come in?

- I can't.

You can't?

As if having a jealous girlie fit on our first

date wasn't emasculating enough,

I have to get home to my kids.

They need their mum, and I'm it.

That's not emasculating.

It's very sexy.

How sexy?

You have a very nice house.

# She says wake up

# It's no use breaking down

# I'll keep stealing, breathing her

# Birds are leaving over autumn's ending...

# One of us will...

What?

You're looking at me.

# Eyes wide open...

Of course I am.

# Naked as we came...

Of course you are.

# One will spread our...

#Ashes round the yard...

Mm!

- Hello?

- Do you think I should sleep with him?

Who is this?

Why aren't you answering

your regular phone?

I called your regular phone.

Because I'm not.

Are you at his house?

- Um...

- Oh, that's fantastic!

That's just what you need,

a great rebound affair.

I think it might be more...

- God, I've gotta get outta here!

- I'm all for it/

Talk to you later.

- Are you sl...?

- What happened?

Shh!

Why are you in here?

I sleep in here when I can't sleep.

Oh. I'm gonna go.

- Just lie down here with me.

- No, no, no! I'm your son's teacher.

Fifteen minutes, please,

then you can go.

Mm!

- I don't suppose we could...

- I'm going right now!

I'm kidding!

I wouldn't, even if you begged me.

It's possible I'm falling in love with you.

So much for sleeping.

- Too much?

- No.

Maybe.

I don't know.

No.

Good.

Cos it scared the sh*t out of me.

Oh, God!

All right, sweetie.

All right. It's your ear.

Come on, sweetheart,

I'm right here, I'm right here.

It's your ear acting up again.

Jimmy Ray!

Jimmy Ray, I need you to wake up.

Jimmy Ray, Ruby's having her ear thing.

I need you to go to my room and get the

flashlight by my bed. Can you do that?

All right, Daddy's here.

Let's just have a look.

Go on, quick as you can.

Let's have a look. I'm not gonna touch.

I'm just gonna have a look.

Miss Epner's here.

Hi, how are you?

Ow!

Miss Epner and I had a sleepover.

And now we're all gonna go to the hospital,

so we can get something

to make Ruby's ear feel better.

Get your socks, buddy.

Is there anything I can do?

Do you want me to lock up after you go?

You're not coming?

Yes, I'm coming.

# She says if I leave before you, darlin'

# Don't you waste me, in the ground

# I lay smiling like our sleeping children

# One of us will die inside these arms

# Eyes wide open...

- How are you?

- Better.

# Naked as we came...

That's a nice frog.

You could have it.

- Seriously?

- I have another.

# Ashes round the... #

Thank you.

You wanna give me something?

I have a mint.

Can you excuse me just a second?

- Hello there.

- Hello.

- Hello, beautiful.

- Hello.

- Champagne?

- I'll say.

I'll have a ginger ale, please,

and some crackers, if you have any.

Right away.

Ginger ale and crackers?

Blessed are You our God,

King of the Universe,

One Who brings

out bread from the earth

- What?

- Are you pregnant?

What?

No.

If I am, it would be a world's record.

I only slept with him last night.

Trust me, I am not pregnant.

I'm too old not to have a baby.

Obviously you're not too old

to have a baby.

No, I'm too old not to have a baby,

and this baby connects me forever

to a man,

- who is that man you were talking about.

- What man?

Who you know you'll do whatever they say.

Only he's not a man, he's a child really.

A baby. Oh, Jesus!

- What are you doing?

- This helps me.

Is it helping?

Not really.

April... Allow me.

Mm.

- Have a sip.

- I'm pregnant!

It's OK to have a sip of red wine.

Some doctors say it's good.

Mm!

What, are you nuts?

You're pregnant! Give me that.

Come here.

- That's OK, you don't have to do that.
