42 Seconds of Happiness Page #2

You don't eat, you don't sleep when you have a baby.

Yeah.

I mean it, I'm just...

I'm just freaking out because it's

the first time with him alone,

and I'm not breastfeeding,

because I got an infection,

and I feel guilty because I'm not breastfeeding, but...

[Maria] Let's get started, okay?

[Cybil] Okay.

[Maria] Who wants to get started?

It's just three days.

You can rest and eat and get some sleep through the night.

Look, three days absent, peace, you deserve it.

[Maria] All right, can we get going please?

Yeah, can we get going please?

Uh, oh.

Look at these cute little place-cards.

Oh my gosh.

Hey, lady.

Hey. How are you?

Good, how are you?

Miss gonna-get-married?

[Vineke] Oh my gosh.

When is everybody, when is everyone else arriving?

Well, Tomas is coming tonight.

Yes, what I want to do is have you and Felice

sit opposite each other,

so that you're with Alis, and you're with Tomas,

so that they each feel like they have a friend with them.

Okay?

Um, I'm not really sure Tomas

will think of me as a friend at the moment,

but I will, I will, yeah.

Team Tomas.

For the alliteration.

You know, it's not even a hurricane yet.

I mean, really, they overreact.

Would you like some wine, darling?

[Felice] Yes, thank you.

Does everyone have, where's your wine?

Okay, you guys are in blue,

and you guys are in orange.

Did you guys, like, plan this?

[All] Cheers.

All right, who would like to start?

Well, I googled intervention letters.

So we could get it right.

No, you're supposed to write it.

Wait a minute, I thought we were,

I thought we shouldn't say it in our own voice.

[Ike] In writing? Okay, sure.

It's like a homework assignment.

Let's do this.

When did you write a letter?

Right. Right.

Um, okay.

"Dear Alis and Tomas,

"I'm here today because I love and care about you.

"I think you're doing the right thing,

"and that you're both entitled to your personal plans."

Are they doing the right thing?

I mean, what exactly are they doing?

Obviously, they weren't too good together,

so yeah, sure.

Oh, so being apart is the right thing.

What, did Google say that?

[Maria] Cybil.

Sorry.

"Alis, I remember when we first met.

"We were both spending another all-nighter

"in the campus library.

"I will never forget our marathon margaritas

"we had in the morning, when we finally

"handed in our papers.

"We couldn't stop laughing,

"you told me I have the most beautiful laughter

"you've ever heard, and I should never ever

"stop laughing again.

"You were the first to meet someone

"you could imagine having that family with,

"the first to give birth to a beautiful baby girl

"and the first to get a real job.
