My little Felix.

Hi, Mom.

I'd like you to meet Zee,

my girlfriend.

AUBREY:
Zee?

With two E's. Z-E-E.

Wow. That's unique.

Nice to meet you, Zee.

Come on inside, everyone.

Come in.

AIMEE:
Where's Crispian?

Did he bring his new girlfriend?

(LAUGHS THEN SQUEALS)

This is my boyfriend.

TARIQ:
Hi.

Crispian.

How you doing?

You must be Erin.

ERIN:
Yes.

Oh, my gosh. You're so beautiful.

ERIN:
Oh-ho-ho.

Thank you!

Hey. Good to see you.

You're Erin?

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you.

Oh. And, Zee, right?

Erin.

I know.

PAUL:
Hey, where's my princess?

AIMEE:
Daddy!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

This is my boyfriend, Tariq.

How are you? Welcome.

Nice to meet you. Thank you.

Who'd like a glass of wine?

I would.

I'll take some wine.

Let me take care of that right now. Felix.

Dad.

AUBREY:
I just want you all to know

(VOICE BREAKING) how much it means

to us that you're all here. So...

Thank you for coming.

Oh. She's so cute. I'm in love.

Shh.

(UTENSIL CLINKING ON GLASS)

PAUL:
Let's bow our heads.

Dear Heavenly Father,

we thank thee for thy food.

Feed our souls on the bread of life,

and help us to do our part,

with kind words

and loving deeds. Amen.

ALL:
Amen.

And thanks to Mom and Dad.

For having us ah here together.

PAUL:
It's our measure.

(CHATTERING)

Um, so, Tariq, what do you do?

Uh, ahem. I'm a filmmaker.

Is that right?

AIMEE:
Yeah. He's really good.

I don't think I know any filmmakers.

That is so...

interesting.

TARIQ:
There's not a lot of us.

KELLY:
Have you been on TV?

Not on TV.

I've only made one documentary,

it was at the Cleveland Underground

Film Festival, 2008.

What is an underground

film festival?

Do they show the movies

underground?

TARIQ:
No, no. They show them

aboveground, but they...

They show intellectual films.

DRAKE:
So like an

intellectual film festival?

Do you do commercials?

Because those are my favorite,

AIMEE:
No, he doesn't do commercials.

Mm-mm. No.

Really? I just think that is just the

height of the art form these days.

It is just short and punchy,

you really gotta just Zing the ideas

on in there.

That's why I watch TV.

I just think it's so...

it's better than the shows now.

He makes documentaries, so...

it's different.

Yeah, but I think that I've seen

documentary commercials.

I don't think they have to be

limited to any particular thing.

It's not a... You know, I mean, the starving-artist

thing just never made sense to me.

I just think you should consider it, Tariq.

TARIQ:
Sure.

ERIN:
That's no fair!

CRISPIAN:
Give ii back.

That was mine.

ERIN:
Stealer.

So, Erin, are you still in school?

Um... Heh.

Yes. I am. I'm in my final year.
