Last Night Page #4

- For drinks.

- That was almost...

- Two years ago.

That's right. So how's work? How's the book?

Here you go, sir.

I don't know. But it's finished.

- It is?

- Mmm.

That's great. Can I read it?

Of course. You speak French?

Oh, good, okay.

We're starting early, excellent.

The translation is almost finished.

You'll read it.

- How's Paris?

- How are you?

I'm good.

- How's your work?

- Yeah, I'm doing freelance.

Fashion stuff, mainly. It's good. It's okay.

- Where are you staying?

- Here.

Oh. Right.

You're still afraid of the subject

being you for too long, right?

Come on, this is strange.

- Us having a drink?

- You in New York.

Why?

Because you don't belong here.

Thank you.

So...

Tell me something that counts.

It's been too long since I've seen you.

I meant something personal.

That is something very personal.

You seeing someone at the moment?

Hmm.

Tell me about her.

We are happily undercommitted.

- How long?

- A few months.

That's long.

- "For you." Finish it.

- No, I wasn't gonna say that.

It is good seeing you.

Bless the martini.

Obviously you guys want to keep

the hotel open as long as possible

while we're doing the work.

It's definitely something

you need to think about,

as far as how you're going to phase this,

because now it's becoming very important

to be eco-friendly, you know.

I was thinking about maybe solar panels,

double-paned glass in all the rooms.

It's actually something that Michael has

invested a lot of his time in making sure,

because now, you know,

it's actually a selling point.

People will stay at your hotel

because you have these options,

and, you know,

we think that it's really something.

It's a lot of money up front,

but then you get a payoff.

- Absolutely.

- So Stuart tells me

you guys can probably bring it in

in about three months.

- Of course.

- Do you agree with that?

That's no problem.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

It's all about the time. Start date next

week. You might be done the inside of the year.

All right.

- You know, your timing is nuts.

- Why?

- Are you getting a divorce?

- No.

Then?

I think it's possible

that I will you into being in my life.

Like if I think about you too long,

you pick up on it.

Were you thinking about me?

I always think about you

when things aren't going well.

What wasn't going well?

- We should get going.

- Where?

My room.

I'm kidding.

I'm having dinner with...

You know the man who bought

the publishing house I'm with in France?

- Oh. Okay.

- You're coming with me.

- No, I'm not.

- Why?

- It's your work dinner.

- No, not at all.

I've known him for a long time. He's a

friend. You'll like him. And his wife.
