DEBBIE:

I won’t wear it at the same time as you.

CHLOE:

Come on. You look stupid.

DEBBIE:

I think I look good.

CHLOE:

You’re so lumpy.

Debbie looks at Eva for support.

EVA:

If I could wear that dress I would.

DEBBIE:

Thank you.

CHLOE:

You would not. Mom you look crazy.

Disgusted, Chloe heads back into the dressing room.

DEBBIE:

You’re not the only attractive girl in

our family, Chloe.

CHLOE (O.S.)

Oh please!

(beat)

Why can’t you just dress like Ellen’s

mom? She looks normal!

Debbie glances at Eva’s attire and rolls her eyes as she goes

into the dressing room. Eva sits there in JEANS, SNEAKERS,

BAGGY SWEATER. Knitting. Oh well.

EXT. MARIANNE’S PATIO - DAY

Eva is setting up her massage stuff as Marianne lies on her

back. She places a bolster under her knees.

EVA:

(beat)

So, what happened with your not-funny

guy?

ENOUGH SAID 24

MARIANNE:

Over. It’s fine. What about you? Do you

have a boyfriend?

EVA:

I had a good first date over the weekend.

MARIANNE:

How nice. What’s he like?

EVA:

(putting a pillow under

Marianne’s neck)

Funny, and very sweet. We never stopped

talking. It felt like we were old friends

already.

MARIANNE:

In a good way? ‘Cause that can sort of

kill the chemistry.

EVA:

No, it was good. Flirtatious. I wasn’t

sure if I wanted to kiss him though, but

I think I do. When I first met him he

didn’t seem attractive to me. He’s not

typically handsome. But now I think he’s

kind of sexy.

INT. EVA’S CAR - DAY

Eva looks at Albert’s house as she drives up and parks.

EXT. ALBERT’S WESTWOOD HOUSE - DAY

A 1930’s somewhat neglected one story house. The lawn is dead

and the paint is peeling. The curtains are drawn inside.

Holding a bottle of cheap champagne, Eva exits her car and

walks up to the house. After a beat, Albert comes to the door

wearing a sweatshirt and pajama bottoms.

EVA:

Oh my god, did I get the day wrong?

ALBERT:

No. Why?

ENOUGH SAID 25

EVA:

You’re wearing pajamas.

ALBERT:

I’m not.

EVA:

Oh.

ALBERT:

I just like to be comfortable. You know,

it’s brunch, it’s Sunday.

EVA:

Oh, good!

INT. ALBERT’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS

It’s dark everywhere, all of the windows are shaded with

curtains or blinds. He takes the champagne.

ALBERT:

Thank you for this. I’ll make mimosas.

Despite the dark, cave-like quality, it’s nice. Newish

furniture, lots of books, an enormous flat screen TV. There

are PHOTOS of TESS everywhere.

Eva picks up a Chanel purse sitting on the table.

EVA:

You carry a purse?

ALBERT:

That’s my daughter’s. Outrageously

expensive but it was her 18th birthday.

INT. KITCHEN - CONTINUOUS

Bagels and coffee are ready and waiting on the counter.

Albert makes drinks.

EVA:

Bagels! I love bread! So, tell me about

her - your daughter, I mean.

ALBERT:

Well, she’s very sophisticated - as you

can tell from the pocketbook.
