How Do You Know Page #5

Just be nauseous for me.

Yeah. A little morning sick for me.

Not a problem.

- Hello?

- Hi. Lisa. This is George.

George Madison.

I.... I'm not sure how to

further identify myself.

Your voice sounds a little familiar.

I made this incredibly stupid

phone call to you a few days ago.

Oh, right. How you doing, George?

Would you like to have dinner?

- But aren't you...?

- No, I am not.

- You see--

- You don't have to explain.

I'm sort of seeing somebody,

but we can have a meal.

- When?

- Anytime.

Tomorrow's clear.

- Triplo Due?

- I'll meet you there.

- It's Triple Two in English.

- It's gotta be early, 6:00. I'm in training.

Okay. So it's a d-- It's a date.

- Okay.

- All right.

- I have made a date.

- Bye.

Good night.

Come on, come on.

Georgie. George.

- Let's go inside.

- I have a date.

Date? Son, we are in

a rapidly evolving situation here.

I must tell you, I was afraid

to use the telephone.

Because?

No. No, no. Don't tell me.

I'm not ready to take on

anything that I can't handle.

No, you know what?

I know exactly how to handle this.

I'll treat myself

like a company in trouble.

What I think is you are just indulging

in a lot of neuroses.

You take on too much,

it becomes about how much...

...instead of how well you handle it.

That applies now.

- Stand still!

- No.

You do not have the luxury

of not hearing this.

Are you making me literally run

from bad news?

The chickenshit board has dec--

I gotta go. I have a date.

What happened to you was horrific.

- Stop acting tough.

- It's the worst move!

Look at the time.

Hey, everybody, I have to leave.

I have a date.

- What?

- Now, Lise?

- Yeah.

- Lisa?

Nobody's buying this.

- We should protest!

- We should.

Smalls, what do you want us to do?

- Lisa.

- Okay. There is one thing.

When I come to visit you at training

camp when you're getting ready...

...just don't feel funny talking to me.

Okay? Don't feel sad for me.

Because my biggest fear is that

you won't be yourselves around me.

I've seen that, and if that happened,

it would just make me feel like I--

Like I didn't know you anymore.

And I want to.

I need to.

Just say, "Okay, Lisa."

Okay, Lisa.

God. I--

I gotta go. I gotta go.

He's waiting for me.

- I love you.

- Love you. Love you.

- Love you too.

- Go, Lise.

- Go, Lise.

- Lise!

- Hi.

- Name, please.

I'm meeting George....

- Madison?

- I'm not sure. I forget.

Could that be him over there?

I'll bet that is him.

That's the sort of day I'm having.

You don't have to take me.

Thank you, though.

George?

Are you George?

I'm Lisa.

- Very good of you to join me.

- Yeah.

How you doing?
