Eat with Me Page #3

Synopsis: Emma only knows one way how to add spice to her life... by squirting it from a bottle of hot sauce. The rest of her life is cushy but bland: scrambled egg whites, decaffeinated coffee and her husband, Ray. She's had enough and runs away from home. Her estranged son, Elliot, finds her lurking outside his restaurant with suitcase in hand. They try to start over again as mother and son in this odd-couple living situation, but she's old-fashioned, and he's gay. Between them are years of awkward moments and unspoken tensions. Feeling lonely, Emma accidentally befriends the lady next door who's so eccentric that Emma's way over her head. Meanwhile, a passionate encounter with a man in a bar turns Elliot's fear of commitment on its head. With dumplings, dessert, whiskey, and even Ecstasy in front of them, will they give in to their indulgences? And can mother and son reconcile while struggling to discover their own appetites for life?

Or your ex-husbands

new girlfriend's face.

Come on now.

- What's happening here'?

- What's happening'?

Something's happening here.

Something's happening here.

- Keep on moving.

- That's right.

Love it.

Boom, and boom. Boom.

And I want your legs out.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Here comes the booty shake.

Arms up.

Booty shake. Booty shake.

That butt's not

gonna shake itself.

- Slow it down. Slow it down.

- I'm shaking it.

Slow it down.

I found these

in his jacket yesterday.

Why are you carrying

them around in your purse'?

Do you think he's promiscuous'?

I don't know. Do you'?

I don't know.

I wouldn't know how to ask him.

I don't want to embarrass him.

Why are you such a prude'?

I'm not.

Really?

I just think

there are certain things

that we don't

need to talk about.

Well, then why are you

so obsessed with his sex life'?

I'm just worried about him.

What, that he's having fun'?

No, that he's being safe.

Well, now at least

you know he is.

Or he was,

until you stole his condoms.

Listen, I used to have

a very healthy sex life...

I mean, a very, very healthy

sex life, you know'?

It was back in the day when

everyone was doing somebody.

I got a lot of attention,

you know.

That's why

I couldn't stay married.

You were married'?

Yeah, once.

What happened'?

I feel like my body

actually physically rejected it.

It was like I would get

these rashes, you know'?

I mean, I think it's inhumane

to make someone

stick with one tree

when there's a huge forest

out there... huge.

You're giving me a headache.

Look.

If your son is getting laid

a lot, that means he's happy.

Don't you wish you could say

the same thing about yourself'?

I'm happy.

You are'?

Why is this about me now'?

Because it's never

really about you, is it'?

But it isn't.

That's my point exactly.

I'm Ian.

Elliot.

Can I bum one'?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You got a lighter'?

Cheers.

Do you live around here'?

Yeah.

What do you do'?

- I cook at a restaurant.

- Wow. Brilliant.

What do you do'?

I'm in the band.

Yeah.

Look, we don't have to do

all this if you don't want to.

What?

I get it.

You're not into it. It's okay.

What do you mean'?

Look at you. You're physically

moving away from me right now.

We could just walk away

like nothing's happened.

I'm not normally that guy,

but I can do it.

Or'?

Or we can just talk

like two adults.

Sorry.

It's okay.

Here.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Hey, I gotta tell you,

I had a weird dream last night.

I dreamt that I was finally

in labor, so I was so excited.

But then it lasted for hours and

hours and I was in so much pain.

And then the baby

finally came out, and...

And what'?

And it was you.
