Queen of the Lot Page #5

That wife, that wife, that...

What the f*** is his name again?

We used his house.

- Who, Barry?

- Barry, that's right.

Barry's wife,

she's such a b*tch.

We work in a basement there,

we have a card game

in the basement.

Shes got crap hanging

all over the place,

she doesn't want us there.

- Ketchup, no?

- No.

- Olives?

- Again, no thank you.

- Roll?

- Yes, thank you.

- Toast, butter?

- You gonna join me,

or you just gonna hover over me

and offer me all sorts...

I don't really eat, so...

- You don't really eat?

- (GIGGLING) No.

- That's one that I...

- So play, okay.

But don't gamble money,

real money. Okay?

What do you want me

to play for, carrots?

- I want you to just back off.

- Money, you play for money.

Listen to me.

Back off, the money is no more.

So when you play,

just take it easy.

You can call me Margie.

Margie Chizek, that's my name.

They renamed me Maggie, 'cause

it sounds better for action.

Aaron Lambert,

nice to meet you, Margie Chizek.

Actually, it's Aaron Lefkowitz

if you go back

four generations, so...

- Really?

- Yeah.

I like Lefkowitz a lot.

AARON:
When you make

scrambled eggs,

do you remove them

from the shell?

(LAUGHING)

MAGGIE:
Yes, I do.

I don't cook. I don't cook...

- You're kidding.

- (LAUGHING) You don't like 'em?

- No, I love 'em. (COUGHING)

- You don't like 'em.

- I love 'em.

- MAGGIE:
Oh, my God.

That's great.

My aunts cooked

and my grandma cooked.

I used to stay overnight

at my grandma's farm in Iowa,

and we'd come home from church,

and in the morning

she'd make...

she'd boil this huge pot of,

you know, homemade hot dogs.

And then she'd cut them open and

put them face down on a bun...

- For breakfast?

- ...with margarine.

Yeah, oh it's the best thing

in the world.

- Hot dogs for breakfast?

- Yeah, after church.

Best thing you've ever tasted.

It's amazing.

What did you eat for breakfast?

I had the uh,

same thing for breakfast.

I had two eggs over easy

with rye toast

and potatoes, and all

served to me on a little...

Rattan tray by Mai Lin

every morning.

MAGGIE:
Really?

Eight o'clock,

she would wake me up.

Stopped when I was

eight years old,

when my father thought

I was old enough

to come and sit

at the family table

and be criticized

like everybody else.

You'd have to sit there,

and you'd have to give

an account for your day,

what you did,

what you were going to do,

what the value

of doing that was,

you had to make it interesting,

you had to make it funny.

It was like going to a

morning pitch meeting

with your brothers, and sisters,

and parents, yeah.

- And I was shitty at it, so...

- Why?

I was shitty at it...
