Hello I Must Be Going Page #3

Synopsis: Following the break-up with and imminent divorce from her entertainment lawyer husband David, thirty-something Amy moves back in with her upper middle class parents Ruth and Stan Minsky in Westport, Connecticut. David asked for the divorce following an affair he had with who Amy considered a friend. Knowledge of the affair and David asking for the divorce came out of left field for Amy, who thought she had the perfect marriage. In her surprise and shock about David, she left David basically with the clothes on her back, and has not asked for anything in the divorce settlement. Three months later, she is still in a depressed state, not leaving the house and not knowing what to do with her life. She has no real job experience, has only a liberal arts degree, and abandoned her Master's degree studies in Photography to marry David. She believes her parents have mixed feelings about her return. Although they have both welcomed her back, she believes Ruth is critical not so much about what s

- That's right.

Well, you know, all those studies

come from the wine companies though.

- Oh, no.

- That can't be true, Amy.

That would be illegal, right?

Otherwise, companies would just go around

making unsubstantiated claims.

- Isn't that right, Stan?

- You bet.

I read that too.

- Yeah?

- I did.

Jeremy, would we have seen you

in anything else, acting-wise?

He was in a TV show for a long time.

- It was for kids.

- Ooh.

Uh, it was called in the Garden,

I knew it. You are Mr. Green!

Oh, you know, Caley watches that show.

Yeah?

- That's you, right?

- Oh, yeah!

-I love it!

- Yes.

Do you ever do

any Broadway musicals?

- He's far too serious.

- You have such a good voice.

- I wish he would though.

- Thank you.

Truth be told,

I was actually an actress.

Really?

Oh, I know. Hard to believe.

I had to give it up though when, uh,

Jeremy's dad and I divorced.

It was just too difficult.

I had to get a real job.

Thank goodness for Jeremy.

Otherwise I would have-

I don't know- killed myself.

Jeremy, is everything okay with your food?

- Jeremy's a vegan.

- Ah!

- Oh, no.

- Lord, I should have asked. I'm so sorry.

- It is such a pain in the ass. Honestly.

- It's okay.

Well, Amy will eat anything

you put in front of her...

although she'll starve herself

for dessert, right?

Especially chocolates, right, Aim?

When she was a little girl,

I used to have to hide the chocolate...

'cause she would eat it all.

I'm sorry. l just-

- She's been having sort- sort of a rough time recently.

- She's going through a divorce.

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

I was going on and on-

Oh, it's all right. It's all right.

Does she have any kids?

There was a miscarriage.

You.

Hi.

Hey-

I like-l like your dress.

It's my sister-in-law's dress.

- Yeah.

- Mmm.

Jeremy? Are you in there?

What are you doing?

It's so dark.

Are you okay?

- I'm just-

- What, honey?

I don't know.

I feel a little anxious.

Oh, my God, it's me.

I shouldn't have mentioned that show.

I'm so proud of you, it gives me Tourette's.

- No, no. It's okay.

- Oh, gosh, I'm sorry.

- Honey, you feel really warm.

- No, it's okay.

Come on, let's go get you water.

- Hey, Larry, thank you so much for coming

- It was so nice.

Oh, no, no, no. Thank you.

This- This was great.

Oh, thank you.

It was lovely.

And thank you for including the whole family.

Look, we're family people.

We haven't spent a summer in Westport

since Jeremy was 14.

Well, you know, uh, Noah and Amy...

could give Jeremy some pointers on some

of the new hot spots for young people.

- Yes.

- Uh, except we're not young anymore.

- Oh, stop.

- You're younger than we are.
