Grilled Page #5

Synopsis: In L.A., Maurice and Dave sell steaks - high-end cuts of beef. They've hit a patch of no sales, and they're facing being fired. Maurice needs money to enroll in his final semester of acupuncture school, and the recently-separated Dave needs money for his daughter's birthday gift. Their final client card: a beautiful woman opens the door, and she's attracted to Maurice, but a desperate call from a suicidal friend interrupts her signing the contract. Still hoping to close the sale, Maurice and Dave offer to drive her to the friend's house, and there, troubles multiply. Facing guns, hitmen, and women's secrets, a sale is the farthest thing from their minds. Are they about to be grilled?

find the goldfish,

and something is flipping

in her stomach.

I am sorry, but I told her that

I have a doctor over,

that he's friend, and that's you.

Please come with me.

Tell her that it's okay,

that it's nothing.

Come on.

Suzy, sweetie,

here he is.

Hello, hi,

this is, uh...

Dr. Kissinger.

Can I help you?

Mm-hmm, yeah.

Well, you know what?

L... uh, I see a lot of that,

and it's nothing

to worry about.

Uh, the rule we go by

in medicine is

if it's a critter of any heft,

you gotta go in after it,

but if it's a fish, you just let it

float downstream.

Uh, you can

if you'd like.

Hey.

Everything okay?

Come with me.

Hi, could you please turn that big heavy

bottle over, Maurice,

- while I have you?

- You got it.

See, my nails make

everything impossible.

You like bubbles?

I adore them.

Huh?

That was so easy for you.

You're so strong.

You work out?

No, I'm a strong guy.

I don't know why.

It's good genes.

Well, my mother

was a strong woman.

Mine too.

Hmm.

You know, we should

be talking business here.

Yeah yeah,

Dave said no flirting,

but I think he meant just me.

I mean, you can flirt all you want.

Go ahead. See if you

can get my attention.

Come. Show me

your meat.

Your partner seems

to think it's the best in the nation.

It's true.

Well, when you're all better,

you'll go shopping for a new fish.

Okay?

Good, now just put

your head down and be calm

and resty rest.

Okay. Bye-bye.

So of course to pass along

the savings to you,

we deliver

to you in quantity.

- You buy a whole side of beef...

- Will you bring it to me?

Myself personally?

Could you do me a favor

and just check it without the slide?

Yeah, uh-huh.

The same model withou...

Could you hold on

one second, please?

Hello? Suzanne.

I thought you were

supposed to be resting.

Yes, I am right here.

I'm still here.

Mm-hmm. Okay, what

I want you to do is calm down, okay?

Close your eyes and remember

there are so many things

to dream about.

An example would be

anything you like.

You like melon.

- You initial there. That's all right.

- Okay.

I don't think that's a good idea, Su...

you gotta calm do...

calm down, Su...

Suzanne!

- You didn't sign it. Did you sign it?

- Ay.

Hello, you gotta talk to her.

I think she's trying to kill herself.

Again?

I'm sorry, but I'm

really not a doctor.

Uh, you just gotta

talk to her.

Was about to sign

the f***ing check.

What am I supposed to do?

I'm not a doctor!

Oh, ju...

oh sh*t!

Suzanna, no no no, I'll be there.

Don't lock the door!

Suzy, no!

Suzy cut her wrist.

She says it's not for attention,

but I know it is.

I mean, I have to go.

I have to go and help her.
