Alex of Venice Page #3

I bought the Cherry Orchard.

Wait, wait, ladies and gentlemen,

please don't go. I...

I am a little... dazed. I'm confused, I...

I'm going to stop you right there.

It's great, it's really, really great.

Would you... would you mind

taking a look at another part?

- Sure. Yeah.

- It's okay?

Would you mind taking a look

at the part of Firs? It's the servant.

- The really old one?

- Yeah.

Okay. Sure.

What's up with you?

You seem off.

Oh, I'm sorry, no.

I'm... I'm totally fine, I...

- Everything's okay?

- Everything's good. I have a small...

Just a blip of a thing

happening at home, but it's...

But you're up for this?

- I need you to be up for this.

- I'm...

If you're not, just tell me.

I'll get someone else.

- No, I'm up for this.

- Don't bullshit me.

Alex, Dakota's school, line one.

- Yes.

- Can I just take... just the... okay.

Hello?

I am so, so sorry.

I don't know what happened.

My husband's out of town and I asked

my dad to come and pick him up,

and I can't get a hold of him. I'm...

Please, don't worry. Everything's fine.

Dakota's fine, that's what's important.

And it gives us the opportunity

to check in with each other

- since we missed you at parents' night.

- Right, well, I had to work, so...

Did your husband mention that

I talked to him about your encouraging Dakota

to reach out to some

of the other students?

Right.

Yeah, he did mention it

and we're working on it.

Oh, that's great.

- Such a sweet boy.

- Well... yeah, so I should get him home.

- But thank you so much.

- Okay. Bye.

- Bye.

- Don't be a stranger.

Alright.

- What happened?

- What do you mean?

You were supposed to pick up Dakota

after school. You don't remember?

- You don't remember that?

- Oh, sh*t.

What, you just forgot?

Is that what happened? You just forgot?

W... you should've put it in my phone.

- I shouldn't have done anything.

- I need it in the phone.

I asked you to pick him up,

and that's all I should've had to do,

and you're smoking and you're not thinking

and you're not remembering a word I say.

George always puts it

in the phone so I don't forget.

- This is exhausting.

- I'm sorry, kid.

I'm so... Grandpa wouldn't have left you

hanging like that. It wasn't in my phone.

Party's here.

- Oh, my God.

- See?

- Oh, my God... Lily.

- I was bringing in your sister.

I was trying to do something good.

No, Dad, it was so good, so good.

But, if you say you're going to pick up

Dakota, you have to pick up Dakota.

I'm so sorry, boo.

Daddy told me what happened.

Men are such d*cks. All of them.

- So...

- No, Dakota, what happened to him?

You're f***ing gi-normous.

You look like a grown man, come here.
