What Maisie Knew Page #3

in America has heard of him.

I don't know why but ...

Fine, okay, let's see.

Okay, bye.

You can write

in straight lines.

You got it.

I may need to take off to

Italy in the next few weeks.

Ooh.

So, you think you could,

uh, keep an eye on Maisie?

Okay. Sure.

Go on, start again. You know you're only

supposed to do the first letter, right?

Your passport's in order, right? So...

Mine?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Good. Aah.

Because this work should

only take a few days.

I thought after that maybe we

could go on a little cruise ...

... in the Aeolian Islands, ...

you know, say something like that.

Yeah. I've never been to Italy.

Ooh.

Or on a boat.

Right, great. Well,

then, that's good.

- We'll do that.

- We're going on a boat? When?

Well, don't start packing

just yet, okay?

It's all depending.

What's all this?

Aah.. I got a flower delivery

for Maisie Beale.

Let me see. Uh..

That's just ... This is

totally inappropriate.

Give.. Give them back

to the delivery guy.

The guy already left.

Okay, I'll take it.

Ten minutes and then

homework, okay?

Okay.

Sweetie?

What are these?

I don't know.

But, I mean, did you

put them in there?

Maisie?

Mommy sent them.

Oh.

Well, we should put them

in some water.

Can't I just keep them

in the closet?

Why?

'Cause Daddy

threw them out.

Oh.

He's allergic.

Really?

I'll tell you what.

Why don't we press a few, and

then you can keep them forever?

And that'll be our little secret, okay?

Okay. Why don't you pick

some of your favorites?

Okay.

I like this one.

This one. Okay, here's our book.

And this one.

When we go back to Mommy's, can

we bring Starbrite's corral?

Um, sweetie, I'm not

going with you.

Oh.

I'll be here when you get back.

Okay.

So, where do we put the flowers?

In the middle?

You put them in this side.

Gently.

You know, your Daddy's sad

when you're not here, right?

So, um, ...

it's nice for him

to have someone around

to... cheer him up.

And do the shopping

and everything, too.

So, since

we like each other,

we thought that maybe

I could do that.

How does that sound?

Good.

Let's do another.

Okay.

I think the roses

would be too big.

Yeah.

That one's nice.

Try that one.

Oh, my baby,

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.

Look.

Jesus.

Jesus, how did that happen?

I touched my arm on the stove ...

and I got burned and I cried.

I bet you did.

I bet that hurt.

How did it happen? Did Daddy let

you cook by yourself or something?

Oh, God.

Okay.

The court says that I'm not

supposed to say anything, ...

but I would be, like, totally

negligent if I didn't tell you ...

that you really

have to watch yourself ...

when you're alone
