What Maisie Knew Page #4

Tall and young. Huh.

It's funny. He's so not her type.

Hilarious.

How's your mum?

Fine.

Happy?

Uh-huh.

A word that sounds like owl?

Tyler.

Clown.

Clown.

Excellent.

Victor.

Town.

Town.

Maisie.

Sound.

Sound.

Good.

Which is your favorite?

I like the blue one.

It's getting late, Mais.

We should go.

Are we still going

on a boat with Daddy?

What boat, sweetie?

In Italy, like he said.

Um, I don't know. Maybe.

Are you and Daddy still married?

Of course.

It's not like pretend?

No. Why would you ask that?

I don't know.

Oh, Maisie.

Come on, Beale, ...

you didn't even tell us

you were leaving.

First, we were going

to be coming with you, ...

and then it was only going

to be for a few days ...

When are you coming back?

What do you mean

you don't know?

Hold on.

What are you doing up?

Does your throat still hurt?

It's not time for

your medicine, yet.

I'm talking to your

father in London.

Can I talk to him?

Here's Maisie.

Daddy?

I don't feel good.

No.

I miss you, too.

It's me.

I don't know. I told you.

They were supposed to pick

her up three days ago.

It would just be nice to know when

anything is going to happen ...

about anything.

Okay?

No.

I should just go.

Right.

Bye.

I'll be right back.

You're three days late... It's 10 oclock

at night, and she's not well.

It's okay.

We'll take a taxi.

It's not okay. She's got

a temperature of 101!

It's ...

Heeey!

Oh. You're not feeling well, are you?

I have the bug.

Oh, the bug.

That sounds bad.

Why didn't you come?

I'm sorry.

There was this whole

mix-up and ...

Well, kinda like three

mix-ups actually.

I have to take my

medicine in an hour.

Okay.

Okay.

So, what do you want me to do?

Susanna is going to kill me.

Come back in a day or two.

A day or ... what ...

I can't come back tonight without her.

Susanna is going on tour this weekend.

Lincoln, she's a child.

She's not well.

Okay. I'll see you in a couple of days.

Okay?

You get some rest,

so you feel better, okay?

Goodnight.

That one!

Good choice.

Heeey!

Mommy.

Mmumf.

No, we need some of ...

Baby, let me show you this bus.

It's good, huh?

We have ice-cream.

We have chocolate.

You want one of these?

No! No! It's out of the question!

Hang on tight. I got it?

You got it?

Cool.

I.. I can't talk right now, Phil.

Good, here we go.

Here we go, baby.

Wooh, we almost rolled over.

I can't see anything.

How's this?

One, two, three, cheese.

Hey, baby, look,

there's Lincoln.

Come on, let's go.

It sucks that we don't

have more time together.

But you know I love you

more than anything, right?

Right?

I do.

Okay, go!

Watch out!

Okay.

Okay, bye.

...hotel room.

She's in the bathroom

for like 15 minutes.

I'm watching television...

and she comes out

of the bathroom buck naked.

I'm like, okay, fine...

I push her up

against the glass...

Your order, sir.

Do you want to come sit over

here instead, by the cherries?

It's more fun over there.

Is it okay if she sits here?

It's fine.

Check this out.

Hello.

Oooh!

I can't hear you!

836b

Let's go.

It's like you're spider monkey.

Ooh.

You got an eye on that?

Don't.

Is that it?

I figured you could play.

What about Tonya?

Again?

Yeah, I'll try.

I'll call you back.

Hey, Maisie?

Come.. Come here a minute.

They called from.. from work,

and someone is sick today,

so I'm going to have to

go in and work, probably.

I could go with you again.

No!

No, we ...

We can't do that.

It's not a good idea.

Don't bite your nails.

You ate glue.

Yeah.

All right, wise guy,

come on, let's go.

I'm not a guy. I'm a girl.

Yeah, come on, wise girl.

What if she's not here?

I don't know.

Maybe Caroline can come.

No, Caroline's got a boyfriend.

Come on.

Can I go to work with you then?

No, you can't.

Aah, we'll .. we'll figure

something out.

I know it's late over there, Beale.

I've been stuck in this

hallway for an hour.

Just tell the guy at the door

to come up here and let me in.

Aah, hey.

What are you doing here?

Well, I.. l know it hasn't

been ten days, yet.

But I..

He has to go to work.

Yeah. Yeah, it's, uh, you know,

things have been a little rough

with her mother gone and all.

Right.

You know, I was just thinking

like we're both in...

You thought what?

That I'd feel sorry for you?

That I've got nothing else to do?

That I'm just that sort of person?

Well, I'm not, so you deal with it.

It's your problem, not mine.

I didn't... I didn't say that.

I am locked out

of my own apartment...

because my husband didn't

bother putting me on the lease.

Like I don't exist.

I have done everything

I was supposed to.

He can't use people like this.

I.. I didn't realize ...

I'm really sorry.

Just go.

Please.

Yeah.

Come on, Maisie.

I'm sorry.

You know I didn't

mean you, don't you?

Thank you.

None of this is your fault.

I'll see you later, Maisie.

It's not Lincoln's fault, either.

He's just mixed up, too.

You really like him, don't you?

I love him.

I'm sorry I got mad at him.

He must think I'm awful.

Mommy gets mad

at him all the time.

There he is.

Hey, Maisie.

Hey.

Hi.

I did the icing but it's from her...

'cause she's sorry

she got mad at you.

Ooh! Cake!

I told her that you like chocolate.

I do like chocolate.

Thank you.

Thank you both.

Uh, you guys hungry?

Yeah? I know someone

who works here ...

so I might be able

to get you a table.

You work here.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

I do work here.

Uh, come on.

You know what some

people eat here?

What? Raw hamburger

with raw eggs on it.

Eeooow!

These are from Lincoln.

Would you eat a raw hamburger

with a raw egg on it?

Never!

Would you?

Glasgow has got such a vibe

about it and a lot of culture.

It's so funny... like, to me..

you don't have a very

thick Scottish accent..

but when you say Glasgow, Glasgow.

That's nice.

Yeah, it is, it is.

Yeah, I always wonder if I'll be..

[muffled conversation]

Thank you for the cake and tonight.

Yeah.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Morning.

Morning.

How'd you sleep?

Nice.

What do you want for breakfast?

Hmmm, I don't know.

Pancakes.

Okay. Pancakes it is.

Lincoln.

Sorry I'm late.

The wolf is scaring her grandma.

Oh, bummer.

She's chasing the wolf there.

Okay, higher.

Higher.

Don't get too close!

There are so many.

This is really cool.

I can't believe I haven't

been here before.

Look, see, there's

a baby turtle.

Woow!

Look at that guy.

He's checking you out.

So many of them.

This is great.

Yeah, I like it here.

You know what?

What.

You could buy turtles on the street.

They keep them in buckets,

and they're only $1.

Really? Wow. I was

bitten by a turtle once.

Were you really?

Yeah, yeah.

It even left a scar if you...

Big?

It could've left a scar.

It's that bad. It could've left a scar.

Right, yeah.

So, is it quite traumatic for you..

It was!

being here with the turtles?

This is kinda like therapy for me.

Oh, it is? Okay.

Meeting the beast again.
