Eat with Me

1

What's wrong'?

This is killing me.

What is'?

What are you doing'?

Is that your ring'?

That feels so much better.

It was giving me

such a headache.

Go back to bed.

Excuse me!

Hi. I'll be right with you.

Wait, why is this still here'?

Sorry, boss.

Sh*t.

Mom?

What are you doing here'?

What happened'?

Nothing happened.

You look skinny.

Are you eating okay'?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Why are there

so few people here'?

Slow night.

I should let you

go back to work.

What's all this stuff'?

Can I stay with you

for a little while'?

What?

What happened'?

Well, nothing happened.

Is it okay'? I mean, I promise

I won't be in your way.

I guess.

Yeah, of course.

You should get back to work.

I'll just wait here.

You hungry?

Yeah.

Have a seat.

I'll fix you something.

Thanks.

Is that your mom'?

Really?

Who?

Try the only Asian here.

You know'?

I always pictured her

a little different.

Different how'?

Well, I don't see

the horns or the tail,

so she already doesn't

match your description.

Okay, maybe I exaggerated

a little bit.

She's just a little intense.

Hey.

Here you go.

Enjoy.

Hey, Dad?

Mom's here.

So you bought this place, '?

That's right.

You have a big mortgage to pay'?

Yep.

You don't clean very much,

do you'?

How can you live like this'?

Did you get robbed'?

Yeah,

and they just raided the fridge.

Then what do you eat'?

I eat at the restaurant.

So you're a cook

but you don't cook.

How can you eat that stuff

at the restaurant'?

No wonder you

don't look very good.

Mom, everything is fine.

It's all fine.

I'm gonna go get

your bedroom ready.

Where are you gonna sleep'?

I'll sleep on the couch.

I'll sleep on the couch.

Let's not fight about this too.

I'll take the couch.

I just don't want

to put you out.

It's fine.

Just give me a couple minutes.

Are these egg whites'?

Yes.

Doesn't taste like it.

Trying to kill me

with cholesterol'?

Are you going to get a new ring'?

What for'?

It was giving me a headache.

The ring?

That's what I just said.

Cut it out.

That's enough.

Come on, Come on

What'd you call me

Hell no Hell no

Look again, ooh

Hell no

Hell no

Break it down, ooh, yeah

Get low

Get high,

get, get, get high...

Shut the f*** up.

Hey.

Mom, what are you doing'?

My God.

You didn't have

anything in your fridge,

so I went to the store.

I don't know

what you like anymore,

so I made a little bit

of everything.

I gotta go to work soon.

Eat something.

How is it'?

Good.

Do you eat at home

like this every day'?

No.

We only eat

oatmeal and egg whites.

Seriously'?

You know how your dad is.

He likes to play

doctor to himself.

He thinks he knows everything.

Well, you don't have

to do that here, Mom.

I'm not Dad.

Okay, I gotta get to work.

Take something with you.

It's just around the corner,

sweet pea.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hi.

Maureen.

Emma.

So what brings you to your...

to Elliot'?

I'm just visiting.

Nice.

What about his dad'?

Did he not want to come'?

Did...?

- Wow. Okay.

- I should go in.

I'm sorry. I'm too nosy.

I've always been this way.

You know what'?

You'll come over sometime.

I'll make you a chi-chi drink

and we'll discuss.

A what'?

Like a Margarita,

Martini, Mai Tai.

I don't drink.

I'm sorry.

We're gonna have to fix that.

So how's your mom'?

She's fine, I guess.

Interesting,

so she can stay there,

but I can't give birth there'?

I see how it is.

You wanted to give

a water birth in my tub!

Okay, I'll make you a deal:

If that's why my mom is here,

you can move in anytime.

So is she leaving your dad'?

How would I know'?

You need to ask her.

That poor lady came all the way

out here for a reason.

And trust me,

it's not your food.

Where are you going'?

I'm just gonna get some air.

Can you watch the place

till I get back'?

What do you think

I've been doing'?

Glad you called.

That was a nice surprise.

So you said you're a cook '?

Yeah.

What kind of food is it again'?

Chinese.

- What?

- It's just...

it's just a little greasy.

That's bullshit.

Sorry.

How about you come down

to the restaurant tonight,

and I'll prove you wrong.

Thanks. That'd be great, but...

but I can't tonight.

What, you got a hot date

or something'?

On. Right.

Is that weird'?

No.

You know we never said

we were exclusive.

Yeah. No, I get it.

Okay, good.

I think I'm gonna go.

You sure you're alright'?

Yeah.

I'll see you later.

All right, I'll see you later.

Hello'? Hey.

Hey, hey. Hey.

I was wondering,

can I borrow some toilet paper?

I'm sorry?

I know I should've gone out

and gotten some myself,

but it's kind of an emergency.

That's fine. One second.

Thanks.

Hey. Thank you.

I will bring it back

in a minute.

No, that's okay. Just keep it.

Great.

So you just found out, '?

What?

Elliot.

I should not have

just said that.

I should not have said anything.

- I'm sorry.

- No, that's okay.

I've known for a while now.

You have'?

Well, then what's with

all the boozing and oozing'?

I thought you didn't drink.

I don't.

Everything's changed now.

What do you mean'?

He doesn't talk to me anymore.

He used to.

But then he told me

that he was...

and...

Then what'?

He stopped talking to me.

I mean, did you

disown him or something'?

No.

I just didn't take it very well.

What's your problem'?

I don't know.

I mean, I heard about

those people on the news,
