Eat with Me Page #2

Synopsis: Emma only knows one way how to add spice to her life... by squirting it from a bottle of hot sauce. The rest of her life is cushy but bland: scrambled egg whites, decaffeinated coffee and her husband, Ray. She's had enough and runs away from home. Her estranged son, Elliot, finds her lurking outside his restaurant with suitcase in hand. They try to start over again as mother and son in this odd-couple living situation, but she's old-fashioned, and he's gay. Between them are years of awkward moments and unspoken tensions. Feeling lonely, Emma accidentally befriends the lady next door who's so eccentric that Emma's way over her head. Meanwhile, a passionate encounter with a man in a bar turns Elliot's fear of commitment on its head. With dumplings, dessert, whiskey, and even Ecstasy in front of them, will they give in to their indulgences? And can mother and son reconcile while struggling to discover their own appetites for life?

but I never thought

in a million years that...

Wait, "those people"?

Sorry.

Look, I have to actually

really... I have to go, so-

Of course, sorry. Go.

Thank you again.

Speak of the devil.

Will you please take care

of your alcoholic mother'?

She is a mess.

What is she talking about'?

I see you're making new friends.

What did you do in here'?

I just cleaned up a little bit.

I told you, you don't

have to do that here, Mom.

I had a system.

What system'?

So she wasn't joking, '?

Don't you get rashes

when you drink'?

You hungry?

Yeah.

Okay, come on, let's go.

Thank you, Maria.

They have the best tacos

in the city.

They're messy.

Interesting.

Interesting'?

Not bad at all.

Whoa, Mom, that's enough.

I can't believe this.

What?

You, me, eating tacos

on the sidewalk.

Talk to Dad yet'?

I told him you're here.

I never thought I could

actually eat from a truck.

It feels so dirty.

I mean, who knows

how they made their food'?

I read those magazines

that you have on the table.

So.

Do you have...?

Are you...?

What?

Do you have a friend'?

Yeah, I've got lots of friends.

You mean a boyfriend'?

Never mind.

No.

Right.

Man, this again'?

What's the problem'?

No problem. It's just meh.

You're welcome

to cook for us anytime.

I don't mind it.

I just wish you'd make something

fun once in a while, you know'?

Fun?

Yeah, like the food truck guys.

They mix all different

kinds of cuisines together,

and you can eat it

on the sidewalk...

fun, you know'?

Yeah, yeah,

like the grilled cheese

or the Korean tacos or the...

ooh, the lobster roll.

We're not that kind

of restaurant.

The kind that makes money'?

Yo, yo, yo, what's up'?

What are you up to'?

Nothing.

Just cleaning the house.

For f***'s sake.

First you're cleaning

your husband's house,

now you're cleaning

your son's apartment'?

Don't you have

anything better to do'?

You know what'?

You're coming to my class.

What class?

You'll see.

Drop the garbage.

Yeah, Pm really sorry.

It's been really slow this week.

Next month for sure.

This is it. This is your

final chance right now.

- Okay.

- You've got one month.

Okay-

Hey, no smoking.

Sorry.

What the hell was that'?

F***ing banker.

Do we owe them money'?

Yeah.

Like, how much'?

Six months of mortgage.

What'? Six months'?

So that's how much'?

Are they gonna close us down'?

I don't know.

Snap there, snap.

Arms, snap it, snap it.
