Last Night Page #3

Yeah, but we broke up in the middle.

And anyway,

it's not about the amount of time,

it's about the "when" of time,

and our "when" included college.

You know?

It was before we were even us, you know?

I mean, do you think

it's even the same between us?

I think it's better.

Can you hear yourself right now?

What?

Just because I disagree with you

means I'm not aware of what I'm saying?

- You can't really think that.

- I do think that.

How?

Sunday night. The last two weekends.

Breakfast yesterday. Dinner last night.

There's no bullshit between us.

With the possible exception of this evening.

Come here, Joey. I'm cold.

- Pack your running shoes?

- No.

Thank you.

You gonna try and get some writing done?

- "Try" is a big word.

- No, it's not.

I really gotta go.

- See you later.

- Bye.

Hello. Coffee.

Joanna!

Alex, what are you...

What are you doing here?

I have some work here.

I...

I can't believe this!

Yeah, it's been a while. How are you?

Um... I'm fine. I just...

I just can't believe you're here.

How did you know I'd be here?

I keep tabs on you.

- I'm serious.

- So am I.

Your Christmas cards.

They have a return address on them.

- What if I'd moved?

- You haven't.

How long are you in New York for?

I leave tomorrow.

Actually, I'm late for a meeting.

Do you have time for me later?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Good. Then I'll call

you later with the time.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Wait, wait. Do you need my number?

Has it changed?

No.

Then I'll call you later.

Wait.

Because I've never been able to sleep,

I think that by the time I saw

the wife wake up for about four years,

I'd be like Rip Van Winkle.

- Guys, I have to use the men's room.

- Okay. Michael, we have to wait for Andy.

It's funny because I could actually...

I could sleep anywhere.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- I could probably fall asleep right here.

- Right there?

Operator.

Operator.

Operator...

- Good morning, how can I help you?

- Checking in.

- Name, please.

- Michael Reed.

Hello? Yeah.

About noon, I think I thought

I'd hallucinated the whole thing.

Yeah, yeah. No, that sounds good.

Okay.

No, I'll meet you there.

All right, see you then.

Bye.

- You look beautiful.

- Thank you.

You caught me off-guard this morning.

You looked just as beautiful then.

- Shall we sit?

- Okay.

So do I look different?

No.

I feel older.

You look the same.

You smell the same.

You do, too.

- Okay, let's get you a drink.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Yes.

Can I have two vodka martinis?

On ice, with olives, please.

- Right away, sir.

- Thank you.

It can't be that kind of a night.

I know.

The last time we saw each other...

- Claridge's.
