Shirin in Love Page #5

Uh, truth is, it's my first big

assignment so I'm a little...

So you're nervous?

Yeah ( laughs )

Let's not talk about

work anymore tonight.

You're tired.

You need your rest.

Take that with you.

Okay.

You're very kind.

Oh, you have found me out.

( door opens )

This is my son's room.

Well, at least it was his room.

Oh, he's so cute!

Yes, he is cute.

Okay.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't even recognize you.

Why would you?

See that picture?

That was taken

30 years ago.

Anyway, you need

to get your sleep.

Good night.

Good night.

( music )

( coughing )

( distant talking )

- The emotion.

- Yes!

- So go to Kailee's.

- Okay.

I got a flat of little

teeny flowers.

Will:
That reminds me...

Rachel:
I want to put it back

there near the stones.

Just bring 'em back.

Everything's looking so raggedy,

and I've been out there every day.

Hi, Mrs. Harson.

( hoarse voice )

Oh, hi.

No.

No, not... not... no,

not you again. Uh-uh.

Rachel:
You two

know each other?

Will:
Yeah, I'm sorry.

I don't want to be rude, but we don't

want any journalists in my house.

I... I don't know what

you're talking about.

Don't strain your voice.

You know, this is my house.

She's a guest in my house.

Mom, she is a journalist.

You know what that means?

She told me

she's a book critic.

- Really?

- You know? Yes.

Will:
Can I talk to you alone

for a second.

Wait a minute!

Just sit down.

First of all, I'm gonna take Shirin

and put her back into the bedroom.

Go on, honey.

You are really embarrassing me

in front of my guest!

Really?

Shirin... how do you

even know her name?

Why is she here?

She is not feeling well.

I think she has a little

bit of a temperature,

so she might have to stay

a night or two.

Another night or two?

I don't want to talk

anymore about it, okay?

Thank you.

She's cute, isn't she?

She thinks you're cute.

Here. Take that perfect tray

and be nice.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry to intrude.

- I'll leave.

- No, no.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I, um, you know... what

happened back there.

Let's see if I can...

Man, you know, I knew that

was gonna happen too.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It's kind of been

one of those days.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I'll, um... I'll get you

some more orange juice.

- I'll get you...

- Oh, no.

( coughs )

Shirin:
Sorry again.

Where have I seen you before?

Um, I think... I think we met

at a... at a party one time.

Please, sit down. I don't

want you to ruin your voice.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

Um, great.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Happy boy.

Huh? Oh. Yeah.

I don't know why my mom has

that...

Yeah, I wasn't quite as happy

as... as I looked here, but uh...

but I was an amazing

chess player, so you know?
