East of the bridge. You're

actually in the right road.

Just head straight west

a few blocks.

It should start

to look familiar.

Okay, thanks. Thanks.

I didn't say the ending

wasn't justified. I just said

it doesn't currently work.

Because of the tangents?

Possibly but it's also possible that

it doesn't work despite the tangents.

Good lord.

I... Hey!

Hey, sorry.

I can go back outside.

No, no, no, no, no.

We were just having a discourse.

Uh, Cyd,

this is my friend Anthony.

- Hi.

- Hiya, Cyd.

Anthony is an old

writer friend of mine.

"Old writer friend,"

how flattering.

Old Pulitzer Prize nominated

writer friend of mine, how's that?

Anthony is

a well-respected journalist,

writer of non-fiction

and now he's writing a novel,

That's what we were discussing.

Now he has to go talk about

the election on television.

- Cool!

- I'd rather be doing anything else.

Um, I'm gonna go take a shower.

I smell bad.

Okay, there are towels right

outside the door on the shelf.

- Nice to meet you, Cyd.

- Yeah, nice to meet you too.

- See you Friday?

- Uh?

Oh! The soiree?

I haven't even told you about that yet.

All in good time. Yeah.

I'm out. Thanks for this.

It's really good, Anthony.

Anyway, my thoughts are my thoughts.

It's your book.

I know.

- How's Brandon?

- Oh, he's fine. He's fine.

He's with his mom this week.

Take him to his first Cub's

game for his 15th birthday

- but he doesn't know it yet.

- Aw! He'll love that.

I think so.

- See you Friday.

- Bye.

Wow.

So what's the deal

with your friend?

The deal?

Uh, well...

Anthony and I went to the

University of Chicago years ago

when we were grad students.

Then we became fast friends.

So, no romance?

What? Oh, my God! No, no.

Why, why do you ask?

Just curious. He seemed nice.

He is and a brilliant mind.

He's handsome.

He is. You should see his son.

This beautiful boy.

He's gonna...

swoop up all the ladies...

one day or the man or both.

Anyway, he's married,

um, technically.

What about you?

Do you have a boyfriend?

- Yeah, kinda.

- Kinda?

Mmm, wonderful.

Anything else

I can get you ladies?

No! I think this is fine.

- Thank you, Sarah.

- My pleasure, Ms. Ruth. Enjoy.

Thanks.

She's wonderful. She's so sweet.

- So much food.

- I know.

Are you sure you don't want

something other than just water?

- Oh, yeah. I'm fine, thanks.

- Good for you.

So did you come here

a lot growing up?

Oh, yeah.

We came at least once a week.

Your mom and I would get

pretty sick of it.

- But, uh... now I love it.

- Cool.

- So, uh... so the boy?

- What? Oh.

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, we've

been hanging out for a while.

- His name's Josh.
