The Contractor Page #3

Exactly, and nothing too complicated. We're

looking for countertops, a little tile work.

There is one catch, though. My wife's got a

big event coming up in a couple of weeks.

Well, actually, I'm starting a new

job over in Valencia on the 22nd.

So, uh, that'd be perfect.

Oh, fantastic. When can you

come by and look at the house?

Pretty much anytime you'd like.

Hello? McKenzie?

Hello?

Hello?

Who are you?

Hi, babe.

This is Javier.

He's a contractor.

Oh. Hi. Sorry.

Would've been good if you told me that

'cause you just scared the hell out of me.

I'm so sorry. You've been so busy, I just

figured that you wouldn't want to know.

I'm sorry. My husband didn't

tell me you were coming.

No worries. You

must be Mrs. Chase.

I am.

Get you water? You? Yeah.

No, I'm good. Thanks.

Lovely house you have here.

Beautiful piece of property.

Thanks. About three acres?

Oh, uh, five, actually.

Like I was telling your husband,

generally the house

is in good shape.

Just need to concentrate

on the little things.

Finish the island,

put in a backsplash,

and lighting and electrical.

Right.

That's exactly what

I was thinking.

Should be about 40,000.

How's that sound?

That sounds great. Fantastic.

Honey? Yes. We'll talk.

We'll talk about it.

Yeah. Sounds good. Okay.

Wait, wait, wait. My license.

Right. Oh, excellent.

Thank you very much.

Very good.

Thank you, sir.

So, did he look

familiar to you, or...

No.

I think he just

looks like someone.

Hmm.

So what do you think?

Uh... It's fine, I guess.

Forty thousand. That's half of

what Marilyn spent on her kitchen.

Yeah, I know. It's like half

of what everyone else quoted.

I don't know how he does that.

Well, he comes highly

recommended by Parker.

Well, if Parker liked him,

then he's fine by me.

Excellent!

I'll call him in the morning.

Great. Good night, sweetie.

Good night, hon. Love you.

You, too. Sleep well.

Thanks for finding him.

You're welcome.

Look, I know it's her birthday,

but I think it's a bad idea.

You let me go to

camp every summer.

It's not even remotely

the same thing.

San Diego's too far, and the 20th is my

benefit, and I really want you there.

I think I'll call it

a night, Mrs. Chase.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Thank you, Javier.

Good night.

Remember what I taught you.

Buenas noches.

You're gonna get an "A" on that test.

Mark my words. Oh.

Here.

I found this in the other room.

Thanks.

Gracias.

Good night.

Night.

I'm gonna tie that thing

around your neck.

Hey, Javier. Working late?

Mm. Hello.

Someone else is, too.

Really?

It's okay.

There's leftovers,

but I think it's mostly cold by now.

Oh. Okay.
