I know her shes an old friend!

- OK listen just let me handle it OK?

Could I talk to her on the phone

please? Thank you.

Hi... No yeah... we were just trying

to phone about 15 minutes ago

and you know the battery went dead...

well you know

we were in the neighborhood so...

OK. All right thank you...

She said she may come down.

- Fine.

How did she sound?

Brisk.

- Brisk?

Yeah she sounded pretty upset.

She wanted me to know she went to Yale.

She said that?

- No she said almost nothing.

She did go to Yale.

On a Fulbright scholarship

right after the wall came down.

Straight out of East Berlin

to Manhattan via Yale.

There you have it in a nutshell.

So shes German?

Yeah but I met her in New York.

- And you never saw her again?

No. But I looked for her.

You looked for her?

Yes but I didnt even know

if she was still living in New York.

How could I find her

her name having changed and everything.

Then I saw Walter.

He knew us when we were together.

Being in the city

every street corner reminds me of her.

Its important.

We didnt show up well in the end

neither one of us.

So shes the one from the book?

No the book is a novel.

Surprise surprise!

Hello.

- Hi.

You look exactly as I imagined.

How did you find me?

- Walter gave me your number.

Walter? So you still see him?

Last night I...

one of those coincidences.

I havent seen him

for at least 10 years. How is he?

You havent?

How come he has your number?

You know how he is.

Mrs. Epstein.

Youre married.

Its the perfect name for a lawyer

especially in New York.

So you really didnt change.

Still the same old racist.

I... I...I was never racist!

Lets not argue.

We wanted to invite you to the tonight

at the Public.

YouIl be on the guest list.

Your old place Max.

Will you come?

Can we meet?

Would be a mistake if we didnt.

We would regret it.

I have to check my schedule.

Im working on a very difficult case

right now. I have to work late.

If it were any other time...

this is all a bit sudden.

Wait...
