"He met my mom on the street, during one of the Beatles hoaxed reunions." "There was a rumor they were gonna play a show here before Lennon died, just like the one they did in the rooftop in London."

"And you would eat one and the other..." "until the plate was completely empty." "You went to nursery school that fall." "And all these women gave me was weird looks and... they were wondering what I was feeding you with." " I was a butterball." " I felt completely stupid." "Like I had no idea what I was doing, the way those women looked at me." " Did you?" " Did I what?" "Did you know what you were doing?"

" I was really mad at you." " I know." " I'm still really mad at you." " I know." "And you pulled the floorboards out from under Conor." "He threw Cody's stuff into the closet." "And then 10 minutes later he ordered Chinese." "I tried for six months." "We were million of miles away in the same room and..." "I started to think thoughts I'd never thought I'd have." "How have you and mom made it this far?" "I'm not sure." "Endurance?" "Everyone starts out thinking this is forever." "Then things get hard." "At some point or another." "And then other things don't pan out the way you thought they would." "I suppose the trick is not running for the hills even when you think it's the most rational thing to do." "I don't know." " I hate this room." " I've seen worse." " Where?" " Huh?" "Where have you seen worse?" " NYU, Yale..." " Yale is butt-ugly." "New Haven's butt-ugly." "Did you attend any of those fine institutions?" "NYU." "And then I grew up at Yale, my dad was there." "Of course, you were a faculty brat." "You and my son would get along like cupcakes." "Not that I'm trying to set you up or anything." "He lives in Washington State." "He's been pretending to write a novel there for the last 4 years." "Learned anything interesting in NYU?" " I abandoned in dissertation." " Bold!" " What department?" " Anthropology." "Sociolinguistic?" "I was writing an ethnography on the social world of performance artists of Paris." "Musicians, dancers, actors, etc." "Why?" "I don't know, my mom is a musician and she's french, so..." "I mean, why did you abandon it?" "Don't tell me something stupid like love." "You're very talkative." " I'm more fond of listening to you." " You'll get over that." "I got pregnant." "Oh, that." "Come on, wake up." "Wake up." "Mais, qu'est-ce que t'as foutu?" "What?" "I went into your room to check about you and you were gone and the car was gone." " Yeah, I went for a drive." " Well, don't ever do it again." "Why were you checking on me?" "I've always checked on you." "You're feeling a bit dramatic today?" "No, why?" "I played second violin on this." "Boston Symphony, Zach Proman." "I haven't forgotten." "No, I was just reminding myself." "What?" "I never wanted to be a mother." "Not much you can do about that now..." "Yeah, it's too late." "I was too young when I had you." " I was the baby." " Why are you telling me this?" "I'm telling you this because I don't want to lie to you." "I don't want you to take our relationship too personally." "I don't." " No." " Give me my wine!" "Why didn't you tell me Conor came by the house the other day?" "Run for your life, El." "What is that supposed to mean?" "Well, this is all too realistic, run away for a while." "You're sure you're not projecting?" "Yes, I'm sure I'm not projecting." "You liked your semester in Paris, so why don't you go back there and finish your dissertation?" "You could write in cafes... read Le Monde, Elisa Hawke." "Eat bread." "Make eyes with strangers." "Yeah, I could." "So why are you still here?" "I don't know." " I don't get it man." " Let's hope you get it." "Well, your..." "Well, your dad is like a culinary maverick, he's like the Mick Jagger of the restaurant game." "All you gotta do is make one phone call and that saves our asses, but instead... you want us to drown like 90% of the other restaurants in the city." " I don't get it." " Stu..." "What did he do?" " What you mean?" " Your dad, what did he do?" "At least take a page out of his book, what did he do?" " He married my mom." " What's that mean?" "It means he married my mom." "She gave him all the money that our family left her and he opened the restaurant, it was a big success, then he dropped her like a bad habit." "So, you know what?" "Why don't you go and find yourself some lonely loaded ol'lady and then we can take it from there." "I'd rather fail catastrophically than... give him the satisfaction of thinking he handed me my life in a platter." "That is the stupidest thing in the history of stupid things." "Why is that stupid?" "You know what is stupid?" "You think I'm gonna call my dad and he's gonna go like:" ""Hey, son." "Why don't you come and bring your friends?"" " "They can work here too"." " Yeah." "It's not like a fucking slumber party." " I was not..." "It's a job!" " Stu..." " As decent a cook you are..." " I'm a chef." "All right, chef." "You don't exactly cut it in those kitchens." "Oh, relax, you don't wanna have this conversation." "You know, let's talk about it." "When was the last time you joined in the care?" " Seriously." " Really wanna have this conversation?" "When was the last time you cooked and egg and you didn't plunge the yolk?" "In all kind of kitchens in that world you would be a busboy." " You fuckhead, fucking failure." " No, I'm telling you." "Stupid fucking..." "Like that?" "You'll hit me with a fucking kale?" "That all you got?" "Come on." "Oh, God." "Jesus." "Okay, yeah." "This is what you want?" "Is that a joke?" "No, I think they're really going at it." "We're not quite open yet." "I was third in my class... at the New York Academy of Culinary Arts, you fuckhead." "I know that, asshole." "I'm a chef." "Hey..." "I love our little set up here." "I do." "It's just the lease has gotten prohibitively expensive and unless you want to camp out in the kitchen..." "Yes, I would." "I'll bring the sleeping bags." "It's just time to let go." " Time to grow up." " Hey, I'm growing up." " I am." " Fine." "When do we call it quits?" "End of next week." "Can we have one last banger before we close up shop?" "Yeah." " Can we abuse some heavy narcotics?" " Whatever tickles your thing." "Good." "I'm sorry." " Blow me." " Okay." "Yeah, it's amazing." " Doing well?" " Okay..." "Good." "Sorry, it was not a..." "Holy shatner." "Nice to see you too, Stuart." "Well, this was nice." "Like old times, reconnecting and all." " I'm gonna go to the kitchen." " Yeah." "I will join you." "Shirley Temple?" "Please." "What do I owe you?" "Your money is no good here, you know that." "Okay." " Business is good?" " It's great." "We're closing." " I'm sorry." " Yeah." "Yeah, me too." " So what's next?" " I don't know." "I thought I might... develop some interest in things that people actually take an interest in." "You're gonna work with your dad?" "Before you I had no idea who I was." "Then when we were together..." "I thought I had it all figured out." "Now I'm just back to wondering again." "When you figure it out tell me how, okay?" "Okay." " Let's get out of here." " What?" " Let's go." " Right now?" "Yeah, that's the idea." "Okay." "Don't forget to fill it up before you drop it off." "You got it." " That..." " What are you doing?" "You wanna listen to that?" "Yeah, suck it up, Ludlow." "Is it gonna rain?" "Fuck me!" "Of course we get the car with the retarded wipers." "We could just wait it out." "What are we doing here?" "You tell me." "You're the one who said that we needed to talk, you stalked me, you went to my parents house..." "What are we doing here?" "Just recently, like an hour ago, you walked into my bar and... you suggested we drive aimlessly into the perfect fucking storm here." "This is funny." "Yeah." "Yeah, that's fucking hilarious." "For a while there I thought we'd actually pieced together a pretty decent life." "I have to move everything out of the apartment next week." "You want me to keep anything for you?" "Where will you move to?" "I don't know." "I could stay with my dad for a little while." " 'Til I get things figured out." " How is he?" "I'm pretty certain he's losing his mind." "Fernanda left him." "He's getting all talkative..." "Waxing philosophical." "Same shit he pulls every time he's between significant others." "I think it's probably more than that." "Yes, maybe." " At least you guys are talking." " Yeah." "What did tell your parents about us?" "What would I say?" "That we're fabulous." "I feel like we're living some dreadful disaster cliché." "We are." "You're sopping wet." "You noticed!" "Thank you!" " Wait." " No, no, no." "No, wait." "Just a second, wait." "Shit." "I slept with someone else." "I'm sorry." "It doesn't matter." "What do you mean it doesn't matter?" " Get off me." " Don't..." " El, come on." " Get off." "What do you mean it doesn't matter?" "Get over yourself, Conor." " You don't care?" " No." "That's bullshit, I know you care." "El, you're supposed to say:" ""What the fuck were you thinking, Conor?"" "You're supposed to say:" ""Your selfish piece of shit."" "No." "We're past that." "And you just said it for me." "Come on, let's go back to the city." "I'm gonna get out of here." " Ma'am?" " Yes." "Hi." "What a jerk." "And you look like ass." "Thank you." "Where were you last night?" "Do you want to take a load off?" "I come here on breaks." "All the librarians advocate is a whole nap philosophy." "Nap philosophy?" "Yes." "One nap to start the day like..." "help with productivity and stuff." "If you wanna read this..." "What?" "I was hoping you could read my mind." "Wouldn't that be nice?" "You know I did something stupid this weekend?" "Yeah, you're queen of doing something stupid." "What are you thinking?" "Deep end." "Take a train to the city." "Save the world." "When did you become an idealist?" "Couple of seconds ago." "I have a date with the dentist this weekend." "It's okay, I can be your third wheel." " Let's get drinks?" " Yeah." "Yeah, I'll have a drink." " Should we get..." " A shot." " Three shots?" " Tequila." "A round of tequila!" "I feel old!" " What?" " I feel..." "I feel old!" "Me too!" "Cheers." "What's your name?" "I'm good, thanks!" "Wait." "Oh my God." "Wait." "No, wait!" "What?" "What is it?" "Yeah." "Did I hurt you?" "No." "What is it?" "You're a stranger." "So are you." "You ever had that moment when you... know you're doing something stupid but you do it anyway?" "Yeah, everyday." " What?" "Come on." " No." " Come on." " Stay there." " I'm gonna go." " No, don't go." " Don't." " Jesus." "Just stay for a minute." "Really?" "Sorry." "Where to?" "Make a loop around the city." "Got a destination?" "Eventually." "Hey, Phoebe." " Hey, how are you?" " Good." " Your hair got long." " Not really." "He's in his spot." "That's good." "You could make this place your own if you want." " And do what you like with it." " Seriously, like..." "I'm done." "Used to be pretty cool once upon a time." "Some of the same faces still show up." "Except more wrinkled." "Some are less, though." "Stones went last week after playing the Garden, but... mostly, people are just fading away." "I've been doing this way too long." "I think you've done pretty good." "Yeah, well..." "Complacency scares the shit out of me." "Yeah?" "And how is this:" "I forfeited the loan the bank gave me," "I'm losing the lease of my bar," "Eleanor's gone... with the fucking wind." "I'm 33 years old, and my life is a fucking boat-wreck." "I'm on my sixties," "I lost a grandson this year, but I'm basically forbidden to talk about, my third wife just walked out of me, and I come here every afternoon to this restaurant named after your mother." " It's time to shoot the crow." " Where you're gonna go?" "You're gonna fly off to Never Never Land?" "Become a Buddhist?" "What are you doing here, anyway?" "I was just in the neighborhood." ""Just in the neighborhood."" "What is it?" "Do you ever wonder why we fall in love with a specific person?" "Not really." "I think to myself:" ""Something's wrong here, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is."" "There's always one that haunts us." "So give her time." "It's the right thing to do given the circumstances." " Circumstances suck." " Yeah." "I really forbid you from talking about him?" "What the fuck are you gonna say to me?" "Ever since he..." "Ever since what happened happened, any thought or memory of him has been something just to run my mind as far as fuck away from as I can get..." "And that..." "A shooting star only lasts a second." "But..." "Aren't you glad that you at least have seen it?" "That's nice." "It's a little Hallmark, but it's nice." "I mean, it is nice." "You have a delicate soul, dad." "Nobody's ever said that to me before." "You know you are in imminent danger of sappiness?" "We can't have that, can we?" " Are you hungry?" " Yes." " I'll fix you something up." " Okay." "All the lonely people..." "Where do they all come from?" "This is the Beatles' song you were named after." "Three Splendas?" "Full service." "Want me to come down there or you wanna join me in here?" "I think I'm gonna leave your class." "You're breaking up with me." "So this is what heartbreak feels like." "You never had your heart broken?" "Only read about it in books." " Liar." " Sure." "You don't have to tell me this, you could have just not shown up." "I just gotta get out of here." "Here?" "The Tri-State Area." "You know they say that if you... walk away from things then you will just... keep walking away and... start a whole history of walkaways." "Did this sound as lame as I thought it did?" "No." "Good, 'cause I don't have a fucking clue of how life should be lived." "Well, could you refer me to someone who does, please?" "Yeah." "I had a dog, Miles." "Got him from a pound." "He did pretty well and lived every day like he won the lottery." "Where's Miles when we need him?" "Somewhere in Pennsylvania." "Took him on a road trip, trying to be all travels with Charlie." "As soon as we hit the open countryside, he started jumping up and down like he picked up a scent or found something he'd always been looking for." "We let him out..." "He hightails it, chasing the sun in nowhere." "He ran away?" "I imagine he's happy wherever he wind up." "Hooked up with some Amish people." " Lives on a diary farm." " It's possible." "I have a colleague at NYU." "It's from my days I've worked with your dad there." "Teaches Anthropology at American University in Paris, does some work at the Musée du quai Branly." "I make a phone call... send him that dissertation you started on..." "Want half a bagel?" " No, I'm good, I'm good." " You're getting enough to eat?" "You're starting to sound maternal." "That would be a first." "When's the last time you got to talk to your son?" "Some holiday too long ago." "Is it sad that I don't remember?" "Probably." "I should call him, shouldn't I?" "Yes." "Now you sound maternal." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "With your kiss my life begins" "And like the leaf clings to the tree" "Baby, please, cling to me" "We are creatures of the wind" "Wild is the wind" "You touch me" "I hear the sound of mandolins" "And you kiss me" "With your kiss my life begins" "Love me, love me" "Say you do" "Let me fly away with you" "Hey." "Do I seem like a different person to you?" "You look the same to me." "I'm sorry." "For what?" "For disappearing." "We'll never get to where we were." "Where was that?" "Someplace good." "Yeah." "Tell me what are you thinking." "I forgot what he looked like." "Sometimes I'll get a glimpse of his eyes or... the way he'd smile at me from his crib." "But then it will vanish." "I can't picture his face." "I can't picture his face anymore." "He was pale." "He frowned a lot." "He had your eyes, he had your nose, he had your lips he had your cheeks." "El, he was all you." "He was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." "I wasn't prepared for what this feels like." "I know, neither was I." "I love you." "I know." " How's it coming?" " It's coming." "There was a great cafe, called "Le Cafe", at the Rue Tiquetonne, then a lot of artsy fartsys to go too, your mother and I used to go there when we visited her parents." "We met Jean-Marie Le Clézio there once." " Before he won his Nobel." " Cool." "And you should get... some of those big french macarons, at Ladurée... in Saint Germain." "Call me when you do... and I will live vicariously through you." "I will, thanks." "I lost you in the ocean once." "What?" "I lost you in the ocean once." "We had rented a house, in the Ditch Plains Beach, on Montauk." "We only could afford Montauk." "You were about 2." "Your mother was pregnant with Katy." "And I took you down, swimming, one afternoon." "And a lot of people down there..." "I..." "I waited out... holding you." "Thinking at one point:" ""This might not be the best idea."" "But you were game." "Or I imagined that you were game because you never ever seemed scared." "About anything." "The Atlantic is moody, and a big set of waves knocked in." "We made it under the first one." "You were clinging to my neck." "But we got caught in front of the second... and I came up without you." "And I have never felt anything like that." "The throes of stupid couple seconds... treading the white water." "And then miraculously I... felt you at my feet." "I never told your mother." "I never told anyone." "It was the worst and best moment of my life." "Can I..." " Is this ready?" " Yes." " I'll be downstairs in a bit." " Okay." "What you got?" "Chardonnay." "It's good, huh?" "You know I am full of shit, right?" "Depends on the day." "But you know that I love you, huh?" "Say goodbye to auntie El, okay?" "Okay." "Goodbye, chickadee." "You make sure that they behave, okay?" " Okay." " Okay, kiss." "What time is it in France?" " It is past your bedtime." " Why?" "Don't be a stranger." "I won't." "I don't wanna go to bed." "There's still light out." "You don't have to go to bed, sweetie." "Be good, okay?" "I'll be back." "When is auntie El coming back?" "She'll be back next summer." "Hey, guys." "Gonna go take a stroll before the rush, okay?" "Okay." "Aren't you worried about these 15 people as to how we can deal with them?" "You know how we do this?" "We could use the back room." "If every dream" "Are ways to be" "A way to you" "If every clock" "Turns back to me" "Turn back to you" "Still" "No fate awaits" "Still, without you" "No fate awaits" "Still, no fate awaits me" "If every road" "Comes back to me" "Come back to you" "If every road" "Comes back to you" "Come back to me"
