Prime Page #2

Synopsis: In colorful, bustling modern-day Manhattan, Rafi Gardet, a beautiful 37-year-old photography producer reeling from a recent divorce, meets David Bloomberg, a handsome 23-year-old painter recently out of college. Rafi's therapist, Dr. Lisa Metzger, who is working to help Rafi overcome her fears of intimacy, finds out that Rafi's new lover is--unfortunately for Lisa--her only son, David. Both David and Rafi must contend with their 14-year age gap, vastly different backgrounds and the demands of David's traditional mother. Despite their intense attraction, the charmed couple soon realizes that vastly different ages and backgrounds create much conflict. A Jewish hip-hop lover and closet painter who still lives with his grandparents, David has little in common with Rafi--a non-practicing Catholic from a wealthy, broken family who travels in the sophisticated, high-end world of fashion.

- Bye.

Okay, Grandma.

So, what kind of sandwich

are we talking about?

Hi, I'm here to see

Rafi Gardet. My name's Dave.

Raphael. It's Damien.

Yeah. There's a...

It's Dave.

Dave here to see you.

Okay.

She'll be right down.

Bubbles here, I like that.

It's a good touch.

Is that wool?

Looks itchy. Is it itchy?

I think it's the biggest

contradiction in the world.

Jews eat carp, okay?

Who eats carp?

They don't serve it in restaurants.

Have you ever seen carp

on a menu in your life?

Please, answer me honestly.

- No.

- No. You know why?

Because it's disgusting.

But for all this

terrible food...

you've never seen a people

so obsessed with it in your life.

It's a remnant.

I'll bet every immigrant group...

that was displaced by World War II

puts a lot of emphasis on food.

I mean, it was scarce.

Carp is cheap, right?

It was probably a staple of their diet.

What is this, the History Channel?

You trying to kill this for me?

- Come on.

- Sorry. Fine, go ahead.

Okay,

so my friend Morris...

So I think you're gonna love this place.

It's beautiful.

No one's ever there.

- Can I see some ID?

- Sure.

- Love when that happens.

- Yeah.

I wish

I still got carded.

- Excuse me, Dave.

- Yes.

Quick question for you.

How old are you?

Actually, I don't speak Vietnamese.

Why do you ask?

- Are you being evasive?

- I am trying.

You know,

I don't tell my age.

I think people get way

too caught up with the number.

I'm 37. Did you know that?

You know, I hadn't really

thought about it.

Sure you hadn't.

Look, I know

you're a lot younger than me.

I'd just like to know,

you know, how much.

Okay, let me guess.

- Twenty-nine.

- No.

Really? Older?

- You don't look 30 to me.

- Thanks.

I'm 23.

No, you're not.

I don't believe you.

Let me see the license.

Oh, my God. You're a child.

Taxi!

I have T-shirts older than you.

- They let me drive, okay?

- Yeah, with a parent in the car.

How come you seem

so much older to me?

I don't know.

I don't know if I can do this.

Come on.

- Can you hold this?

- Sure.

- Are we gonna get in trouble?

- I hope so.

This place is amazing.

I can't believe

I've walked by this for 15 years...

and I didn't know

it was here.

Let's have it.

What?

How did you know?

Okay. His name is David...

and he's really, really nice.

I mean, sweet.

And I met him a few days ago

and he asked me out on a date.

And we went out to dinner...

and we kissed.

I like beer.

- Good.

- I mean, no, I...

I never used to. I had to learn,

'cause nobody in my family drinks.

You're lucky,

'cause everyone in my family drinks.

No, I mean, my family,

they don't drink anything.

It's like

Salt Lake City.
