Last Night Page #6

Yeah.

Would you like another?

If that guy in the green

sweater, if he leaves,

I'll have another.

Why?

I spent 12 and 13 doing things on the basis

of other things happening or not happening.

Like...

Like if my mother wore her navy skirt

to work instead of her navy pants,

then I wouldn't talk to anybody on the bus.

But if she wore her pants, then I'd have to.

Afraid you'd be responsible

for what you did?

Exactly.

And now?

I'm obviously experiencing a relapse.

I'd love another drink.

- Okay.

- Just not here.

Okay.

This thing in my life,

where the most random unrandom things

happen to me all the time.

Does that make sense?

- Yes.

- No.

I mean, it makes sense to me

because I know you.

- Joanna?

- Maggie! Hello.

I thought that was you.

What are you doing here?

- Uh, we're just having dinner.

- Where's Michael?

He's out of town at the moment.

Okay.

Well, call me.

Yeah. Okay.

- Enjoy your dinner.

- Okay.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye.

Your best friend?

- I'm so sorry I didn't introduce you.

- Don't be.

Unless you can't remember our names.

'Cause I do that.

- Me, too, actually.

- Yes, right?

Don't worry.

Who's Michael?

He's my husband.

God, this is good.

I didn't know you ordered this.

You can have mine.

So tell me about your wife.

Where did that come from?

I don't know. It just came.

She's great.

What does she do when you're out of town?

Same things she does

when I'm in town.

What's she doing tonight?

I don't know.

I thought you called her.

Yeah, I did. I just...

I couldn't get through.

How long have you been married?

- Three years.

- Yeah?

And you guys dated a while before?

Yeah, we met in college.

Wow.

You met young.

Yeah, we did.

I've got to find a men's room.

I'll meet you at the bar.

If it's a mangy cat, it becomes...

That really means that it's a bad sign.

In dream world, a mangy cat... What is that?

- Whose phone is that?

- Sorry, it's me.

It's... Michael's out of town, so excuse me.

Hello. Hello.

Hey.

Where are you?

Oh, I'm just grabbing a bite.

I just stepped out. How was your day?

- Is that my phone or is that yours?

- It's gotta be yours. I hear you fine.

What?

I said I hear you fine.

How was your day?

It was good. I got some work done.

This isn't a very good connection.

No, it's not that good.

Are you out?

I'm in the men's room.

But we're still with the clients.

Okay. Why don't you give me

a call tomorrow morning?

Okay.

I love you.

- I love you. Bye.

- Bye.

I love it when you come back

to the table and your food's there.

- How long you been married?
