She puts down her tea, looks out the window, lost in thought.
Eric watches her, a little concerned.
9.
ERIC:
It's crazy that you're feeling bad
about this. When your parents died,
you dropped out of school for her.
You took this -
(gestures at their
surroundings)
-- this "job" -
JAIME:
(cutting him off)
-- that pays well, has flexible hours
and gives us both health insurance.
ERIC:
It's not a career, Jaime. What are
you doing here? This is a waste of
your time and your talents.
Jaime gives a half-smile, but it has an EDGE.
JAIME:
What talents would those be, exactly?
ERIC:
The ones that got you a free four-
year ride at Columbia.
JAIME:
(brushing it off)
That was a long time ago. And a
half-finished degree in Shakespearean
lit is not exactly a marketable skill,
per se.
ERIC:
Jaime is starting to get FRUSTRATED -- they've had this
conversation before.
JAIME:
Eric -- I don't even qualify to teach
high school. And I don't have time
to go back to finish my degree, not
(off his look)
She's still a kid, ok? Even if her
hormones are trying to trick her

JAIME:
(countering, teasing)
You were in college at 15 and a
surgeon by twenty-two. You're not
exactly representative.
ERIC:
What's that supposed to mean?
JAIME:
You're a freak. An overachieving,
utterly focused, completely caffeine-
addicted freak.
ERIC:
Don't mock my dependency. It brought
me in here. To you.
(slugs back more
espresso)
You know, if I adopted you, you'd
JAIME:
That's disturbing on so many levels
I don't even know where to start.
ERIC:
Yeah, you're right. Adoption's out.
(trying to sound casual)
Maybe you two should just move in
with me.
Jaime TENSES, just a little. This is a sore subject.
ERIC (CONT'D)
Becca could have the downstairs
bedroom. I'll even spring for a
cat.
JAIME:
I don't want to fight about this
again -
ERIC:
(serious now)
So don't fight. Say yes.
(frustrated)
Jaime, just let me -
JAIME:
(flaring)
What? Take care of me?
ERIC:
(correcting)
--help. Let me help.
11.
JAIME:
I can take care of myself. And Becca.
I've been doing it a long time.
She starts to get up, taking her tea.
JAIME (CONT'D)
Charity's not a good foundation for
a relationship.
Eric grabs her hand, frustrated, trying to get her to stay.

blinding need to make better what hurts her.
ERIC:
