Enough Said Page #5

ALBERT:

Listen to this -

(beat)

I don’t like onions in my guacamole,

right? So I would take a chip and kind of

swirl it around until the onions were all

on one side and then I could eat it. It

drove her bananas.

EVA:

Seems kind of harmless.

ALBERT:

Completely. But by the end of our

marriage it made her gag.

EVA:

Well, that’s not nice.

He notices her hands.

ALBERT:

You have - um - lovely hands.

EVA:

Oh. Thank you.

ALBERT:

I would have thought - since you’re a

masseuse that you would have big, manly

hands but they’re actually very lovely.

EVA:

(awkward)

You have nice hands too.

ALBERT:

(embarrassed)

Thank you.

EVA:

They’re kind of like paddles.

(beat)

Did they just turn the music louder?

ALBERT:

No, I think you just got older.

Eva flags down a WAITER.

EVA:

Excuse me, could you turn the music down

a little bit? I’m old.

ENOUGH SAID 17

WAITER:

No, I’m sorry.

EVA:

Are you sorry that I’m old, or that you

won’t turn the music down?

WAITER:

We can’t change the volume.

The waiter walks away.

EVA:

He’s nice.

ALBERT:

I find I don’t like younger people.

EVA:

(with her hand to her ear)

Eh?

ALBERT:

I’m sorry. I picked the wrong

restaurant.

EVA:

Oh I’m having a great time. The food is

delicious. I mean I can’t hear anything

you’re saying...

ALBERT:

That’s probably why you are having a

great time.

INT. MENCHIES YOGURT PLACE - NIGHT

Albert and Eva put toppings on their yogurts at the self

serve bar. Albert lifts a spoonful of something red.

ALBERT:

What is this, tomatoes?

EVA:

That’s watermelon! There’s some croutons

next to it.

He chuckles and dumps some candy in his bowl.

ENOUGH SAID 18

EVA (CONT’D)

Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose?

ALBERT:

What, it’s non fat yogurt. You can put a

little stuff on it...

She watches him dump more crap on and she smiles, amused.

He looks at a COUPLE OF WOMEN looking very serious as they

stand there tasting flavors out of little cups.

EVA:

What? The people tasting?

ALBERT:

You know, just put some in your bowl.

You’re not buying a house!

EVA:

It’s free.

ALBERT:

Yes, it’s free. They’re happy!

EVA:

(laughing)

They have to taste. There’s many

variations. Cake Batter, Red Velvet.

(reading a sign)

I have no idea what that is.

Albert pays for their cups and takes out a photo of his

daughter.

ALBERT:

This is my daughter.

CLOSE UP ON A PHOTO OF A BEAUTIFUL 18 YEAR OLD GIRL.

EVA:

Yowee. She’s gorgeous.

ALBERT:

Looks like her mom, thank god.

Eva turns on her phone and shows him a picture of Ellen.

ALBERT (CONT’D)

She’s beautiful.

(beat)

You got any money?
