Hello, It's Me Page #2

Thanks, but no thanks.

Really? Okay.

(CHUCKLES)

Whoa!

Is this where Batman lives?

- Hi, Ericka.

- Hi.

Milo, Ella, there is a room

at the end of the hall

with a fully-loaded Xbox.

And I'll bring you guys something

to eat in a few minutes, okay?

Sweet!

Can't I just stay in here?

Just give me and your mom a few minutes.

Okay, sweetie?

Come on, Milo,

I'll kick your butt at the dancing game.

MILO:
You said a bad word!

It's only a bad word

if you're seven.

Cool. Then I'll say it

when I'm eight!

Hey.

What happened?

We stopped at the beach,

and then the car wouldn't start,

and then some rich guy almost hit

us with his gazillion-dollar car.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

WOMAN:
James, I thought

you'd never arrive.

Mother.

I want to introduce you

to a new friend of mine.

Oh, you're on a date?

That's great!

Does that mean I'm going

to have a new daddy?

(CHUCKLES)

Don't be ridiculous, James.

- She's for you.

- Oh.

Her name is Susan Slater.

She went to Sarah Lawrence

and she's perfect.

Is this someone

you actually know?

I know of her, close enough.

Mother, for the last time,

I don't need your help

finding a girlfriend.

No, just finding a wife.

I'm just trying to

help you stop traipsing

around the world

and settle down.

I very seldom traipse,

Mother.

You know what I mean, James.

I'm more of

a gallivantor, really.

(CHUCKLING) Stop trying to be cute,

James.

You need to think

about your future.

Financially,

I'm doing just fine.

You know what I mean.

Look, in two weeks,

I'm going to Hong Kong.

After that, Paris.

That's as much future

as I can handle right now.

Well, I'm just saying I want to

be a grandmother before I actually

- look old enough to be a grandmother.

- (CHUCKLES)

- Pre-laser, of course.

- I'm sorry,

but the women I meet,

they're all the same.

Oh, give Susan a chance.

You never know

when love might strike.

Susan.

I'd like to introduce you

to my son, James.

James, this is Susan Slater.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Hey.

Your mom told me that you

just got back from Istanbul.

- Uh, yes.

- And you were in Moscow also?

I travel a little.

Oh, and by the way,

I could not help but notice

the Kandinsky in the foyer.

You have great taste.

- She knows her art.

- Yeah, I heard, Mother. Thank you.

I know when

something's extraordinary.

Well, I'll just leave you two

to get better acquainted.

- Thank you, Mother.

- Mmm-hmm.

- (EXHALES) Well...

- SERVER:
Wine?

Oh, yes please. Thank you very much.

(CLEARS THROAT)

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

So what do you do?

I'm a lifestyle blogger.

Sorry. You're a what?

I get paid to write

about things I love.

Interior design,

clothes, cars, travel.
