Feast of Love Page #2

with this kind of work?

- No.

- OSCAR:
Neither did I when I started.

- Do you like coffee?

- Not much.

OSCAR:
She'll learn to love it.

But why here?

I don't know.

I just kind of felt

a harmonic convergence in this place.

She's right, you know?

I felt the same kind of thing.

Ah.

HARRY:
Bradley.

I think you'd better hire the girl

or you're going to lose Oscar.

And if you lose Oscar,

you're never gonna make it to the

Humane Society in time to get the dog.

Good point. You're hired.

Man the fort. Keys!

Thank you.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hi.

HARRY:
Sometimes you don't know

you've crossed a line

until you're already on the other side.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Thanks.

HARRY:
Of course,

by then it's too late.

- You good?

- Yeah.

All right.

Don't be nervous, okay?

Who says I'm nervous?

It must be pretty weird

to be married and straight,

and suddenly

you're thinking about a woman.

Yeah, well.

- Who said anything about...

- It's right there. It's in your eyes.

Big, beautiful, hazel eyes.

Oh, man, we're going to have adventures,

you and me.

It's going to be, like, Kathryn and Jenny.

Jenny and Kathryn.

- Name?

- Chloe.

- Barlow.

- "Chloe"?

It used to be plain old Chloe,

but I customized it.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Well, you know, Chloe...

You're really pretty.

Has anybody ever told you that?

I think I scare guys off

because I'm so intense.

Well, you don't have to worry about me

in that department.

- Really?

- Really.

Uh-huh?

That's the second time this week.

(CHUCKLING)

Yeah, what are the odds?

Not two women again?

No, more conventional this time.

Classical, in fact, like Romeo and Juliet.

They laid eyes on each other

and their fates were sealed.

Life will never be the same

for either one of them again.

Now, don't you go

falling in love at first sight.

Too late, my dear. I already did.

Did you talk to the dean today?

If you're going to go back

to teaching next semester,

you've got to let him know.

Esther...

I'm aware of that.

(SOFT JAZZ PLAYING ON STEREO)

You know how every relationship has, like,

a perfect day?

Yeah.

What do you mean?

It's just this day

and you look back years later

and it stands out from all the rest,

you know?

Not because you won the lottery

or anything, just...

Just an average day, but somehow...

You know, perfect.

Today's like that.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Excuse me. Hey. Hello.

(WHISPERING) Yeah, I know. Me too.

This should be interesting.

- Please, Aggie.

- Bradley.

I only need you to keep him till Friday,

Kathryn's birthday.

- Kathryn is scared of dogs.

- Not anymore.

- I took her to the pound.

- But...

Besides, isn't that

what relationships are all about?
