ELLIOT:

(walking offscreen swallowing)

No, she doesn't, either. You've

got tons as well.

HANNAH:

(offscreen)

Ohhh, but I've eaten five of these.

Holly, standing in the hallway onscreen, swallows loudly.

ELLIOT:

(offscreen,

overlapping Holly)

Holly, why don't you open your own

restaurant?

HOLLY:

(turning to the

offscreen Elliot and

Hannah, trying to swallow)

Mmm, we practically are. Well...

(holding her hand to

her mouth)

not a restaurant, but...

(swallowing)

April and I are going to do some

catering!

HANNAH:

(offscreen)

What? You're kidding!

HOLLY:

(nodding)

No, no, we decided!

Holly takes a sip of her drink as Hannah and Elliot walk

over to her.

HANNAH:

Perfect!

HOLLY:

(nodding and swallowing)

Mmm...I mean, we love to cook for

our friends, so

(gesturing)

we thought until an acting job

comes through, we could just make

some extra money, you know, doing a

few private parties.

ELLIOT:

(nodding)

Great idea.

HANNAH:

(agreeing)

I know.

ELLIOT:

(overlapping Hannah)

That's where your talent lies.

HOLLY:

(swallowing and nodding)

I know.

Holly and Hannah begin to laugh.

HOLLY:

(gesturing to Elliot,

still laughing)

Get outta here.

(to Hannah)

Could I speak to you privately?

HANNAH:

Oh, sure.

Holly and Hannah walk off; Elliot watches them leave.

ELLIOT:

(calling after them

as he nibbles on an

hors d'oeuvre)

I'm her husband! She tells me

anything!

CUT TO:

INT. HANNAH'S KITCHEN - NIGHT

Hannah, licking her fingers, walks past a memo-cluttered

refrigerator to the stove as Holly, behind her, begins to

speak. The faint sounds of music are still heard.
