Jocelyn : I called the library and said you had bronchitis. Anne Marie's moving
your indigenous peoples meeting to next week.
Sylvia : I should go in.
Allegra : Pam Gower did her law degree at Bolt, passed
the barin 2002.
Sylvia : She's an infant.
Allegra : She joined the firm of Perry, Liebman, Avila in 2006. Says here she was
divorced in 2005.
Jocelyn : Bitch. She went right for Daniel.
Allegra : She's 45.
Sylvia : She's not even young.
Jocelyn :Do
you think he has a brain tumor?
Sylvia : I think he fell in love.
Jocelyn : Well, I'm rooting
for the brain tumor.
People our age don't fall in love. I mean, I've never even been in love.
Allegra : You've never been in love?
Jocelyn : I've had sexual partners. I mean, I don't know. I wouldn't mind falling
in love, but it just all seems like fiction to me, anyway.
Sylvia : Well, for a fiction, he just threw 20 years of marriage away on
an impulse. Do you think he was thinking, the whole time, "I
can't wait to get out of here?" Am I really that uninteresting?
Allegra : No.
Sylvia : I can't believe I'm alone at this age.
Allegra : Mom, you're not alone.
Jocelyn : And listen to me. Alone's not the end of the world. For as many years
as you've been married I've been quite happily unmarried.
Sylvia : It's just so unfair. He can start his life over again. And at this age.
You know, men can do that. Women... It's over.
Allegra : You're beautiful, Mommy.
Jocelyn : Yes, and accomplished and interesting. You're not without your options,
Sylvia.
Sylvia : Daniel's the one with options. He can sleep with anyone.
Twenty-year-olds. People will say, "Way to go,
Daniel." If I tried to sleep with someone that age, it'd be pathetic.
Allegra : Well, yeah, that's 'cause guys my age are lame.
Sylvia : My body will become a museum.
Jocelyn : No, it won't.
Allegra : We'll get you a membership to my gym. You might even meet somebody.
Sylvia : I don't wanna meet someone. I wanna pull the covers over my head and
read novels. And eat. I'm starving. Allegra, mija, go get me a dozen eggs. I'm
gonna make a flan.
Allegra : Okay.
Jocelyn : Can you stay with her this weekend?
Allegra : Actually, I'm moving back in.
Jocelyn : Really?
Allegra : My
lease is almost up and,
you know, I won't let her be here alone.
Jocelyn : Oh, sweetie, that's... Thank you. You're
amazing. See, that's why people have children. |
