Saving Face Page #5

---

about my parents' divorce.

You beat the crap out of them.

You were wearing

a Kristy McNichol T-shirt...

...tan cords and a pageboy.

You spilled your mom's groceries.

We scooped them into a bag.

That's right, and then....

And then I kissed you on the nose.

And you ran.

Excuse me.

Do you have Chinese movies?

China.

My view.

It's nice.

I teach down at Arts Alliance.

-You like kids?

-No. City Ballet outreach.

I'm teaching them how to fall

without hurting themselves.

I'll show you. Here.

Try it.

-No, no, no, really.

-Relax.

Okay, when I say ''fall,''

you totally let go.

Okay?

Fall.

Fall.

Okay, fall!

Sorry. I can't do this.

That's it. You got it.

-You okay?

-That was good.

That was....

That was...

...fun.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, don't stop.

Who's your Asian daddy?

I like the sound of the ball

going into the hole.

Hi, folks, I'm Fuzzy Zoeller

for the Putting Peg and Pod.

You know, in this great big game

of golf today...

...everybody's looking

for more yardage...

...and the best-kept secret is making

those three- and four-footers.

Have you eaten?

How long have you been pregnant?

A couple of months.

Married?

Once.

Children are a blessing

just the same.

Number 48.

-We need to see the patient alone.

-I'll be right here.

-Isn't it dangerous?

-Not necessarily.

We would monitor her more closely.

I didn't think it was possible.

I read those TIME magazine articles.

I can literally feel my eggs atrophy.

It's easier to conceive later

if you've had a child before.

She must have all sorts

of weird cravings.

She's at home

clawing the cupboards.

So she's having the kid?

Don't know.

Who's the father?

She won't say.

These are good for someone

who's cooped up and depressed.

I had to shop for my mom

after the divorce.

She wouldn't leave the house, totally

ostracized by those Chinese biddies.

I vowed to get out of Flushing

as soon as I could.

Why didn't your mom get out?

Where would she go?

Thirsty?

Don't forget. I invited

the mahjong ladies over tonight.

I haven't forgotten.

So don't bring

any of your friends over.

I won't even be home till late.

It's a co-worker's birthday.

You should get home in time

to say hello to them.

You haven't seen them in so long.

Throw it here.

Hey, birthday girl.

Do I get a birthday kiss?

Saved by the fence.

Where were you last night?

Mom was waiting for me again.

I'll definitely be there tonight.

''Definitely'' definitely,

or ''definitely'' maybe?

You know, my friends

are starting to think you don't exist.

Trust me.

I'll definitely, definitely be there.

-Six surgeries?

-Goddamn sick people.

It's just that I promised Vivian

I'd meet her friends tonight.
