REBECCA:

Okay.

DR. LERNER

Really. Not to be missed.

Blushing, Rebecca takes a file and walks away.

DR. LERNER

Next time I’ll invite you to come

with us.

REBECCA:

(shy)

Great, thanks.

15 INT. COFFEE SHOP - NIGHT 15

Rebecca sits opposite a GUY, 30 years old. He’s very clean

cut and dressed formally. He refers to a printed out piece of

paper as he occasionally looks up at Rebecca.

GUY:

So it says here you grew up in New

York.

REBECCA:

Yes, in the village.

GUY:

Do you think that’s good, to grow

up in the city?

REBECCA:

I do. I mean, I saw a lot of things

I probably shouldn’t have seen, but

it got me to grow up fast. I was

really independent. Which in some

ways is good.

GUY:

I think it’s an awful place to

raise kids. It’s filthy, crime

ridden, noisy. And it’s only

getting worse.

REBECCA:

Uh huh. Well, that’s true too.

GUY:

(back to paper)

Funny, you said - you know, in your

questionnaire, that you had dark

brown hair.

(beat)

It’s really kind of light brown.

REBECCA:

Really. I think it’s dark.

GUY:

I wouldn’t call it dark. It’s more

ash.

REBECCA:

But it’s brown. I mean, I didn’t

lie.

GUY:

(insisting)

But it’s not dark brown.

REBECCA:

It is.

16 INT. KATE AND ALEX’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 16

Alex is in bed watching ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, listening to a

story about Nicole Ritchie. Kate climbs in with a book.

KATE:

Are you attracted to her?

(beat)

Humor me.

ALEX:

She exists purely for people like

me to fantasize about. Except I

think she’s going to hit the wall

early.

She turns to him.

KATE:

Hit the wall.

ALEX:

She’s not gonna look good when she

gets older.

KATE:

You mean, when she’s like twenty

seven.

ALEX:

More like thirty.

KATE:

(opening her book)

That’s nice.

ALEX:

Artie threw something at his new

assistant.

KATE:

Ohmygod. I think my ovary fell out!

ALEX:

Howard was really mad but Artie is

in anger management so he’s giving

him another chance.

(beat)

It was very entertaining.

KATE:

(turning to him)

You know you used to read books.

(beat)

Well, magazines.

ALEX:

Don’t wreck my fun.

KATE:

I won’t.

ALEX:

Good.

KATE:

Don’t wreck my fun.

(beat)

I don’t have any fun.

ALEX:

None?

KATE:

Will you rub my feet?

He pulls her feet onto his lap and rubs them. She closes her

eyes.
