that day...

How could you possibly know that?

That's all I'm saying.

Forget it.

- They're quite big in Europe.

- You'd know.

- It's beautiful.

- You'd know.

- Sorry I didn't get you anything.

- No problem.

Look, I'm just... I was just...

Forget it.

Why would you wear a watch

that doesn't work? Unless you meant to.

Why would you do that?

Let's just forget...

I was just trying to...

I do not get you at all.

Always with the semiotics.

I mean, it's a gift.

It's not f***ing Medea.

Can it just be what it is?

It's a bracelet.

Sh*t.

Sorry.

- Is that gold?

- Yeah.

Plate, I think.

Oh.

- We don't do this enough.

- No, we don't.

- Do you want more wine to go with...

- Yeah.

I opened that other bottle

in the kitchen.

- OK.

- I'll get it.

Watch it. This is doe skin, remember?

Yeah. I bought it for you, remember?

- What?

- Nothing.

This stuff stains really...

Don't rub it in like that.

You kind of blot it.

- That's a little better.

- Thanks.

This place really is great.

Thanks.

- I can't believe it was May that we...

- Yeah, yeah.

We loved seeing you in that play.

- Oh...

- That was...

Thank you. Right.

I don't know how you guys do that.

Getting up in front of all those people.

Shakespeare...

is a gift really.

It's...

- So, how are things?

- Good.

- You?

- Oh, you know, we're fine.

Hm-mm. Great. Us too.

Listen, I need to ask you something.

Can I call you?

Could we get together some time?

You want...

Whenever. You tell me.

Should I get these? The big ones?

- Yeah, get the big ones.

- For the mousse.

So, what should I do with these?

Put some garnishes on?

Yeah, put them on.

Can I just get in touch with you?

Why? You wanna talk?

- Or...

- No.

I'd like to get together with you.

Oh... For...

I mean, we could talk.

Talking, actually would be nice also.

- This is... I mean...

- I know.

If I have to wait a year to see you

and chat over cherry, what, mousse...

I just don't...

You tell me.

I know I'm taking a chance here but...

- Sorry we took so long.

- Yeah, we just got to talking.

- Wow, look at this.

- Wine?

This is like...

You made this?

You're not going to believe

what this woman can do with a cherry.

- Thank you. What a great day.

- Yeah, it was fun.

- Let me walk you to the corner.

- I'll hit the bathroom before I go.

- You remember where it is?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Don't splash. Remember it's doe skin.

- Right. I'll see you guys out there.

May 10th. That's the last time

I saw you. I remember it exactly.

- I remember the date, the time.

- You remember the...

You were wearing a red skirt.

- And a white...

- Blouse.

And you were just such a knockout.
