And you just call?

Out of nowhere?

I'm sorry. It was stupid.

Everything's just screwed-up.

I'm not thinking straight.

There's something wrong with me.

Well, where are you staying?

The Fregoli.

La-di-da, you're doing well.

Oh. You know. It's boring.

Everything's boring.

Okay, I could meet you there.

At the bar. I have to

go to work early, so,

I can't stay very long.

Yeah, that sounds great.

It'll be lovely to see you.

This is really weird.

I've gained some weight. Not

terrible or anything, but just

so you don't look at me

like freaked-out or something,

because I just couldn't

handle that right now.

I wouldn't do that.

Okay.

And I have a fake tooth

in the front

because I fell and hit a

cement bench with my mouth.

But I don't think you can tell.

They matched it pretty well.

Okay.

I look forward to seeing you.

Bye, Michael.

Bye, Bella.

Soak a towel,

and place it in the space...

What is the meaning

of this, may I ask?

Oh, mother, Godfrey loves me.

He put me in the shower.

What ever are you talking about?

Godfrey loves me.

Godfrey loves me.

Godfrey,

I demand an explanation.

I think, perhaps, madam,

that I had better resign.

Yes, I think you'd better.

That's a very good idea.

What do you think your father

would say to all this?

I don't care what anybody says.

Godfrey loves me.

Now see here, young lady,

you take a bath and

put on some dry clothes.

And come downstairs immediately.

Do you hear? Godfrey loves me.

Oh, I've never heard of

anything like this in my life.

- Good to see you.

- Good to see you.

Mmm.

There you are. Hey. Oh.

Michael?

Bella!

Mmm.

You look great.

Thank you.

You, too.

Have a seat. Please.

It's really lovely to see you.

Thanks.

Let me get

the waitress' attention.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

It's busier here

than I would've thought.

Hi. Do you know what you want?

Um...

I... what are you

having, Michael?

A Belvedere Martini

with a twist.

Same old Michael.

I'll have one of those.

Make it two.

Back in a minute.

So.

You look good.

Tell me what's going on.

Not too much.

I'm embarrassed to say.

I'm working for the state,

doing graphics for the

health department.

Graphics?

Yeah, I design pamphlets.

You know, teen pregnancy, STD's,

diabetes.

I see. Well, that

sounds interesting.

It's okay.

My boss is a dick.

I guess that fits right in with

the teen pregnancy and the STD's.

Do I look bad?

I look bad, don't I?

No, you look good.

Why did you go, Michael?

I don't know.

I can't explain.

Here we are. Two Belvedere

Martinis straight-up with twists.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Enjoy.

Old times.

Old times.

That's nice.

Yeah.

I've missed you.
