Serious Moonlight Page #3

My father is making

Chateau Briand and salad,

which is a special meal.

Oh, I know.

And he told me all about it,

and he is very sorry

that he can't come, but he ...

just wants stay here with me ...

and go over the boring details

of our separation, and,

he'll meet you at the airport.

He promises.

Huh, disappointed.

It's so selfish of me.

Listen, I know how you feel.

But I think it's very important ...

that, you know ... we go

over some file-things ...

before he abandons me forever.

Sure you understand.

- Can I see him? Is he here?

- He's ... doesn't want to see you.

He said this to me,

and I quote verbatim:

"If I see Sara right now,

I won't be able ...

to stay with you

for 1 more second.

I won't be able to do anything,

except kiss her madly ...

all over every part of her face,

swoop her into my arms,

and run screaming away."

Yeah, that sounds like him.

I am truly sorry because I forced

him to stay here tonight ...

I hope you understand that.

- I do, yeah.

- Yeah, thanks.

Can I call him ...

on the phone later?

No, I would prefer

you didn't do that, you know,

out of respect for me.

Kind of the least you can do.

But I really want to talk to him.

Well, just think of how

romantic it will be ...

when you re-unite

on the plane to Rome.

Paris.

Paris? Paris.

That's so romantic.

Well, I always wanted

to see Paris with Ian.

Are you Ok, Louise?

Thanks for asking, Sara. Not really,

but I will be. There's hope for me yet.

- Just excuse me.

- Would you just tell him that ...

I'm thinking of him.

And tell him ...

I told him he had

nothing to fear ...

about coming clean with you.

He should have done it a year ago.

A year ago?

Yes, yeah, probably would

have been better.

Tell him I am thinking of him?

You're thinking of him.

Got it.

Thank you.

Oh, dear.

- Alright.

- What did you do with Sara?

I sent her away.

I told her ...

that you would meet

her at the airport,

and that you and I had some

last details to work through.

She is very pretty,

not so bright though.

Oh, I can't understand

what you are saying.

Sorry about that.

What were you mumbling about?

Sara is exceptionally bright,

you don't know her.

Ah, exceptionally bright?

I don't think so.

She introduced me to

Russian literature.

So that's why you were struggling

through 'Brothers Karamazov'.

She is not only beautiful,

she is brilliant.

Brilliant, brilliant. She has the kindest

heart of anyone I have ever known.

I'm sure she is exceptionally

kind for a home-wrecker.

She's also soulful, Louise.

Yeah, I am sure there is

nothing bad about her,

that isn't completely wonderful!

And it doesn't matter.

By next time this year ...
