Greta Page #4

You would have better luck

trying to save

the polar ice caps, Mom.

Why is it that your marriage only works

when I'm not there?

Sweetie,

Greta, I know this is tough,

but try to make the best of it.

Take as much time

as you need, okay, Karen?

Sort things out,

shuffle them together,

do whatever the hell it is

you need to do

to try and save

this marriage, okay?

I'm here and I'm fine.

Don't even worry about me.

I'm fine!

Trouble

Oh, trouble, set me free

I have seen your face

And it's too much, too much

for me.

Greta:
If Dad were alive,

he'd let me drive the car.

And we'd do stuff like paint.

Maybe I'd be friends

with the kid down the street.

Mom and he would argue

about petunias instead of money.

If Dad were alive,

he'd teach me

how to play the guitar.

If Dad were alive.

If Dad were alive.

I drank your wine

And you have made

your world mine

So won't you be fair?

So won't you be fair?

I don't want

No more of you

So won't you be kind

to me?

Just let me go there

I have to go there

Trouble

Oh, trouble, please be kind

I don't want no fight

And I haven't got

a lot of time.

(jazz music playing)

No, I ordered the High Tide.

The Red Squall is mine.

You expect me to remember

what you ordered?

Figure it out yourselves.

You guys have had plenty of time

to look over this lousy menu.

So what's it gonna be?

Is everybody ready?

- No.

- I think we need another minute.

If I walk away from this table

without an order,

I'm not coming back

for another 20 minutes.

I hope by then

you've got it figured out.

I know what I want.

Yeah? Well, I see

who the decision-maker is here.

What will it be?

I will have the chicken breast.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You come to a seafood restaurant

and order chicken?

Well, the other stuff

is expensive.

That's because it tastes good.

Come on, Stacy,

order the lobster.

You can even pick it out

if you're feeling particularly sadistic.

Do you like shrimp?

We have a spectacular

shrimp cocktail,

if you don't mind ripping apart

their freaky exoskeletons.

They have a lot of cholesterol,

don't they?

Not half as much

as the lobster.

Oh my God.

Listen, you could die

on a car ride home tonight,

and you're worried

about a little bypass surgery

Relax.

You're gonna get the shrimp cocktail

and the poached lobster.

Who's next?

Not bad for a kid

learning the ropes.

Welcome aboard, Greta.

Thanks.

Hey, that seafaring lingo

that you do...

you don't do that

all the time, right?

Yeah, I want to see a collar

from now on.

This is a respectable place.

Aye aye, Captain.

Oh my God.

Hey, you got a car?

Seeing as I don't have a license, no.
