Because I Said So Page #4

God. Thank you, whoever you

are. I'll have another. Another.

I really don't think I can't

get through another one of these

without being

heavily medicated.

That bad, huh?

Bad?

Yeah. Like...

Wow.

And I like that you're going

for a younger guy.

Me?

No, no, no.

That ship's docked.

No. No, this is

for my daughter.

Let me get this straight. So

you're meeting these guys for her?

Uh-huh.

So she's cool with you

doing this for her, then.

Maybe you should just

go play your guitar.

She doesn't know, does she?

Look.

I wouldn't be here if it weren't

for the fact that Milly is...

She's at a crossroads

in her life.

Another hard left

and I really...

She's like this person who's too

sensitive. You know what I mean?

She's an innocent.

She's a pushover.

I'm usually not this

in-the-muck-of-it.

I mean, actually, I consider

myself a reasonably sane mother.

Well, yeah,

it is a crazy love, though.

I mean, who's to say I wouldn't

do the same for my own kid?

Mmm.

Excuse me. I'm Jason Grant.

I don't mean to interrupt.

I've been waiting

over by the bar,

but I only have so much time

before I have to get back to work.

I just wanted to

ask you about your family.

Yeah, well, my dad is an engineer

who was always a closet architect.

And I grew up with a love of old

buildings. I know what you mean.

So I suppose I became the architect

that he always dreamed of being.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

Oh, thank you, dear Lord.

Can I order you something?

You know, actually it turns

out I'm so not hungry at all.

Let me get you the funghi chitarrina misto.

It's the best-kept secret in the city.

Can we have two orders

of that, please?

And a bottle of the

Castellare Chianti Poggiale.

If you insist, huh?

No, I do, I do.

Do you mind my asking why a man like

you hasn't found a woman already?

Well, I'll admit

I'm a bit of a workaholic.

It's a very important time

in my career right now.

I've found women

but just not the right one.

A lot of great "almosts"

out there.

Oh, yeah, a lot of "almosts. "

Yeah.

You speak Italian, huh?

No, I fake Italian.

I'd really love to learn it.

You know, Milly happens to be

a phenomenal cook.

She's always wanted to take

a cooking tour of Italy.

Oh, wow, I was gonna go

there this fall. Really?

But it's a crazy time

for me right now.

My company is celebrating

their tenth anniversary.

Oh.

You're gonna need

a caterer then.

I mean, those kinds of occasions

should be marked, don't you think?

You are good. So James Bond.

Yes.

Well, it was a pleasure

to meet you, Daphne Wilder.

Well, Jason, my pleasure.

Gotta love a woman

in polka dots.

Not everyone can pull it off.
