Prime Page #6

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.

Have you ever had ikura

with quail egg?

No. What is that?

I swear it's like having sex.

- That's a bold claim.

- You want to try it?

How am I gonna say no now?

- That's amazing.

- I know.

What?

So, how was your trip?

- Who cares?

- Okay.

Well, this sounds

really good.

That's what I'm hearing.

It was amazing.

He's really very sweet.

I didn't have an orgasm,

though.

Completely normal.

There are

so many trust issues there.

You just have to

give it time.

I'm willing to do the work.

God damn it.

Do you still worry

about his age?

Definitely.

I mean, I was thinking last night,

there are some countries...

where I could get

arrested for this. I mean, 23?

I thought

you said he was 27.

Did I?

I did.

I'm sorry.

I lied to you about that.

Why do you think you lied?

I was...

I mean,

I am embarrassed by his age.

I mean, he's just so young.

What does he do?

He's an artist.

I'm not an artist.

I thought you said

you were a painter.

No. I said I like to paint.

But it's a hobby.

I mean, you have to work, too.

He doesn't call himself that,

but that's what he is.

He has some issue with it.

His family doesn't support him

in his work at all.

Hmm.

Where does he live?

Grand Street.

Lower East Side.

I haven't been there yet.

He has roommates,

and so I'm not exactly running over.

Okay.

Our time is up.

And I will see you on...

On Monday.

Of course.

Are you okay?

Yes. No.

Yes. I mean, I'm fine,

because I have to be somewhere.

- Okay. Bye.

- Bye.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t...

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

So what the hell am I supposed

to do now, end treatment?

Keep going?

Bring them in

for a couple session?

Well, if this doesn't

go anywhere...

And I really

don't think it will.

Then you'll be relieved

you stayed with her now.

If you end her treatment...

and they break up

after two weeks...

you will not have

served her best interests.

So what are you saying?

That I should keep treating her?

If you think

it's just a fling, yes.

But that sounds crazy.

Is that even ethical?

Your job is to help her.

That's your ethical boundary.

Okay.

Forgetting all the professional implications

of the moment...

how are you feeling?

I'm a wreck.

I'm a wreck.

Rita, she's not even Jewish.

If she were Jewish...

would you feel better about

him dating a 37-year-old divorce?

Where are we going?

I just gotta stop by work

for a second.

- What's up, Gil?

- Hey, what's up, Dave?

How you doing, man?

All right.

- Did you set it up?

- Oh, yeah.

- This is Rafi.

- Hi.

- Pleasure.

- Gil.

Oh, my God. This is amazing.

Come here.

Something else I want to show you.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Go, go, go!
