Prime Page #5

Synopsis: In colorful, bustling modern-day Manhattan, Rafi Gardet, a beautiful 37-year-old photography producer reeling from a recent divorce, meets David Bloomberg, a handsome 23-year-old painter recently out of college. Rafi's therapist, Dr. Lisa Metzger, who is working to help Rafi overcome her fears of intimacy, finds out that Rafi's new lover is--unfortunately for Lisa--her only son, David. Both David and Rafi must contend with their 14-year age gap, vastly different backgrounds and the demands of David's traditional mother. Despite their intense attraction, the charmed couple soon realizes that vastly different ages and backgrounds create much conflict. A Jewish hip-hop lover and closet painter who still lives with his grandparents, David has little in common with Rafi--a non-practicing Catholic from a wealthy, broken family who travels in the sophisticated, high-end world of fashion.

You sound like

an after school special.

Don't do this.

I'm doing it.

On your own then.

Hey, what's up, man?

Cool.

Do you need anything or...

No?

- Go on up. She's expecting you.

- Thank you. Give me...

Five? Thumbs up?

Smile? No?

We'll get there.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Come on in.

- Thanks for the soup.

- Yeah.

- It's chicken noodle.

- It's hot.

Wow.

This place is huge.

I'm not even going to ask

what you pay.

I don't want to know.

It's Rothko.

I've never seen this one before.

What year is this?

It's probably my single

favorite piece of art.

Yeah, I love how

he never titled any of his work.

It's beautiful. Luminous.

What is this?

Sentimental Mood.

- You never heard Coltrane before?

- No.

- What? Am I in trouble now?

- No.

No, it's just...

He's a pretty famous

jazz musician.

Oh. So, is this that Negro music

that everybody's talking about?

'Cause I had no idea.

I have to wake up

in five hours.

Do you want me to go?

Take off your sweater.

Wait.

Does this involve dancing?

'Cause my corns,

they've been killing me and...

Take it off.

It's coming with me.

All right.

I really like her.

She's only been gone two days.

She comes back tomorrow.

I miss her already.

I never felt this before.

It's just 'cause you haven't

slept with her yet.

No, that's definitely

not it.

I really like her, man.

I don't know, I mean...

- I think I could love her.

- What?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait, what was I saying?

I don't know, man. There is

something about this girl...

Like, you know that feeling

that you get...

when you're in a room

with someone...

and even though

you may not know them...

or understand them

completely...

you just... you just know that you're in

the presence of greatness? You know?

Yeah, like when you come

to my apartment.

And she old, man,

she a time-fighter.

She's so fine, bro.

I don't know.

I just feel like it's gonna end badly,

I do.

- You sound like my mother.

- Yeah.

Hey, Morris! All right!

What the hell

am I listening to you for?

I'm in a bakery

shopping for a pie...

so you can put it

in some girl's face...

who wouldn't let you

get down her pants.

- When was the cream pie made?

- Today.

- Today?

- Yeah.

- Nice. I'll take that one.

- Awesome.

So what's with Dave?

Is he really serious

about this girl, or what?

I don't know.

So what is she?

Catholic? Episcopalian?

I didn't ask.

Would you prefer one denomination

over another...

as far as

the love of Christ goes?

- Your father's gonna flip.

- Yeah.

And it's too bad your mom isn't

around for this.

It would have gone over

real big with her, too.

So, what are we gonna do?

I don't know.

Give me this.
