Mostly Martha Page #2
Like the guy at table 17
every Friday:
rich but uptight!The special for the Steinbergs.
No salad for him.
If he stares at my tits again,
he's in for it!
Tip or no tip.
Now I've to ask him
to be patient!
You must eat something.
Could someone
answer the damn phone!
If it's my sister,
I'll be home at one.
Yes, she's here.
Martha, for you
I'm busy!
Keep an eye on it
Yes...?
I'm on my way
Hello, dear, it's me again
I wanted to let you know
we'll be late.
I had to see Lina's teacher,
and that took forever,
so we hit the road
way too late.
I don't know what time it is now,
but I've got about 200 km to go.
So don't worry
when I'm not there.
See you, bye.
Miss Klein?
Have you seen Lina yet?
I was just going to.
No one has told her
about her mother yet.
Do you know
how to reach her father?
Christin didn't keep
in touch with him.
I don't even know his name.
-I see.
Excuse me.
Lina hasn't touched her food.
Could you talk to her?
She should eat something.
I will.
-Good luck.
Does it hurt real bad?
Don't you want to eat anything?
You know what?
When they let you out,
I'll cook you
the best dinner you've ever had.
Is Mom dead?
Yes.
If Martha doesn't find a replacement
soon, I'll have my baby right here.
My friend has been
in bed for 6 weeks...
In the tank,
a lobster eats itself
slowly from the inside.
You have to weigh
it when you buy it.
If it's not as heavy as it looks,
it has been in the tank too long
Some people still kill a lobster
by throwing it in boiling water.
But by now everyone knows
that for the animal
it's the most agonizing death,
because it takes
so long for it to die.
The best way to kill a lobster is
with a well-placed stab in the neck.
It's quickest
I'll be right there.
Go home, Martha.
I just need a minute.
I'll be all right.
You don't understand.
It's no suggestion.
I want you to go home.
I've brought us something.
I'm not hungry.
Neither am l.
Would you rather get some sleep?
I'm not tired.
This Friday you can go home.
Did you know that?
-Yes.
You and I need to talk
about what to do.
Can I go back home?
I'm afraid you can't.
Why not?
You'd be all alone there.
I've been alone a lot.
But your Mom would
always come home.
Why can't I live with my father?
What do you know
about your father?
He's called Giuseppe.
Giuseppe.
Do you know his last name?
From ltaly.
Well, that's a start.
I'll try and find
your father, Lina.
And in the meantime you could
live with me,
if you like.
What do you think?
-Until you find him?
Until I find him.
I don't want to eat.
Rather have something else?
