Mystic Pizza Page #3

no crust, coming right up.

OK. Now, why don't you take your books

and your sandwich out on the porch?

- And you know the rule, right?

- Don't get off the porch.

I'll be right out.

Later, alligator.

This should keep us up to date, Kat.

- There you go.

- Thank you.

I always wondered what

the inside looked like.

It's gonna look a hell of a lot

better than this, I promise you.

- I'm impressed already.

- You want to see the best part?

- Yeah.

- OK. Phoebe?

- What?

- I'm goin' upstairs, OK?

- OK.

- Don't go out the porch.

- Wow! This place is huge.

- Not bad for a summer cottage.

Actually, the original house

was built in 1880

by a wealthy merchant named Elias

Montrose for his English bride, Elizabeth.

Watch your step.

They were married in London

after a whirlwind romance.

It's gorgeous.

What a view!

Oh, I'd put a telescope right out here.

This is where Elias would watch his ships

come in and unload their treasures.

- Like what?

- Teas and spices from Ceylon.

Silks, pearls, sapphires from India.

I thought the only things that came

through Mystic were lobster and cod.

The story has a sad ending.

Elias returned to Mystic

and Elizabeth stayed in London

to settle her affairs.

On her way here, her ship was lost at sea.

And old Elias spent all the rest

of the days of his life

watching for her ship.

They say you can still hear his ghost

walking on this balcony on stormy nights.

Of course, it could be this squeaky board.

Are you gonna fix it?

Wouldn't dare.

There she is. That was gonna be

my wedding present from Bill.

It used to be called the Rose,

after his mom.

The man is a prince, Jo.

Miller Lite. I take it back - the man's a god.

Dais, he keeps that there

for him and the guys.

- Dais, he's not gonna like that.

- Jojo, relax! Trust me.

You're gonna wiggle your sweet ass,

and he's gonna forget all about it.

- St Katherine with a beer?

- I drink when I want.

You're a real lush.

You screw ten guys a weekend, too.

- No, that's your department.

- You're damn straight it is.

This is very pleasant, OK?

Let's have some fun tonight, OK?

Gosh, you know what I wish? I wish

Bill did not have such a gorgeous body.

- Yeah, right!

- No, I mean it.

It would make things so much easier.

I wouldn't think about him all the time.

Gosh, you know something? I get really

turned on just looking at his wrists.

- His wrists?

- Yes. They're so thick and strong.

- Maybe something's the matter with me.

- I think so.

- I think it's called being in love.

- Oh, no.

- Are you saying I shoulda married him?

- No, she's not.

Kat, look. There's a comet. Right there.

- No, that's just a shooting star.

- It's thrilling.
