I just want to know where Readfield is.

And I want you to relax.

Cheers.

I'll make a toast.

Here's to good friends and hometowns

and Readfield. Wherever that is.

- Listen...

- Tom.

Tom.

I have someplace to be. I have obligations.

Yeah. I know. Way too many.

You need time for yourself. You don't need

to be at everyone's beck and call.

Then maybe we should

get a drink in the new year.

I've already prepared everything.

It's all here.

I know, and it looks really good.

Yeah? Great. Well, let's eat.

I'm starving.

Tom, this is really sweet of you,

and I mean that.

But my whole family is expecting me.

I have plans.

I guess some plans are made to be broken.

Do you want to say grace or should I?

Hell, let's skip it.

I've never been religious anyway.

Bon apptit.

What do you like to do?

After work and stuff? I guess, hobbies.

That's a mundane question,

but I guess people ask that

just to get to know each other, right?

I read. Right now I'm reading Hemingway,

The Sun Also Rises.

And you really should eat.

It's gonna get cold.

Anyway, in the book

this guy loves this girl so much

that he's willing to forgive

everything that she does.

Even her infidelities.

That's a pretty intense story, but...

That's what love is supposed to be, right?

My boyfriend is gonna get worried

and come looking for me, Tom.

If I don't show up,

he'll come looking for me.

He knows where I work.

How long have you guys been

dating or hanging out?

- Two years.

- Two years?

- Do you live together?

- That's none of your f***ing business.

That's not very nice dinner talk.

Yeah, we live together, okay?

Two years...

That's more than a boyfriend.

That sounds like wedding bells.

Do you have any plans?

- Yes.

- What does your fianc do?

He's a journalist.

I knew he had to be smart.

What kind of journalist?

- Sports.

- What paper?

- Post.

- I read The Post.

- What's his name?

- Mark Clayton.

Clayton. I don't remember that name.

- I have one over here.

- It's The Post online.

It's amazing

that you're able to keep a relationship

with the amount of hours you work.

He must get really lonely

when you have to work late, right?

Do you love him?

Does he love you?

I'm only asking because I'm worried about

how quickly he's going to get here.

I'm sure he's already on his way.

Right. He's probably

on the Harlem River Drive as we speak.

- What kind of car does he drive?

- I don't know.

You don't know what kind of car

your fianc drives?

- Toyota, I think.

- Toyota. That is a fast car.

He can be here a lot sooner

than I was thinking.

He could be coming down

this ramp right now.

You haven't been very talkative

since we met.
