Love Is Love Is Love

LOVE IS LOVE IS LOVE THREE TALES

TWO FOR DINNER

Hey, babe. Hey.

How you doin'? Good, good. You?

I'm great.

You almost ready?

Almost, I just have shoes and earrings.

Hey, would you wear that suit? The one we had made in London.

I'm wearing it.

Remember that great little hotel?

I do. Where you surprised me with the silk lingerie for my birthday.

Mmm... Rocky.

Say hi.

- Hi... - Hello, Rocky.

He misses you. I miss him.

Hey, do me a favor, wear those red strappy shoes

so I can see your feet.

The ones I almost broke my back in?

I'd love to get you on your back right now.

You...

Shoes coming up.

Ooh, look at that. Wow, that's nice.

- Red shoes. - Oh, boy.

Red shoes.

Oh, boy.

Oh... you're killing me.

You're killing me right now.

You don't wear those shoes for anyone else, do you?

Never you mind.

Hey, it's Saturday night, let's do something special.

Where should we go?

- What do you feel like? - I don't know.

Maybe... something European.

How about the little French place?

Let's go. Let's do it. Okay.

- I'll see you there. - Don't start without me.

Thank you.

Bonsoir, madame, and welcome.

- How are you? Been a while, hey. - Doing very well.

May I bring you a Bombay gin martini, very cold?

Oh, sounds prefect, thanks.

Oh, remind me, what's the wifi password?

French75.

Gotcha.

Jack?

Is this seat taken, madam?

There you are.

- How's the connection, alright? - It's fine.

We're making a movie in Whitefish, Montana, don't forget,

so the closest thing to French around here is the mustard.

No, not even that.

Oh, well...

- Amazing. - Did you get a haircut?

You look great in that suit.

You trying to make all the women to drool?

The only women drooling around here have their A.A.R.P. cards.

But you love older women.

You, babe.

You, you get better...

and better.

- Hello, sir. - Hello.

Can I get you a drink?

Should we start with our usual? Get a martini, please.

- Bombay gin... very, very cold. - Comin' right up.

Mine's already on the way.

What do you feel like?

I think...

I will have the filet of sole almondine

with wilted spinach.

That sounds like girl food to me.

- Your martini, madame. - Thank you.

Then I'm gonna get the New York steak, "rare but not cold."

And a side of spinach.

We can eat our vitamins together. Now, how's that for intimate?

I'll wait for you.

Mine is coming.

Thank you.

Cheers! Cheers!

Here's to us and those like us, damn few left.

The girls hate that toast.

Well, other than that, we haven't screwed 'em up too bad.

Well, let's hope our luck holds.

Lisa's only been in college for three weeks.

Might be a little early to tell.

You know Kate's boyfriend, the one with the motorcycle?

Let's call him "friend."

- Kate's friend with the motorcycle... - Yeah... Uh-huh.

He asked me what the secret was to our long marriage.

This is a guy with a lot of secrets. What'd ya tell him?

"Don't get divorced."

Excellent advice, that's very wise.

What would you like this evening, madame?

I think I'll have the filet of sole, please.

And a glass of Sauvignon blanc.

Great choice.

- There you are! Bon soir. - Look who's here.

- It's been too long. - Yes, well...

She can tell you the shoot has been...

It's been a little rough here.

Uh, but, uh, it's only five more weeks.

Only? I will take good care of your lovely wife.

Please, please do.

Au revoir. Au revoir.

Well, for a for a place that has bison burgers and grits on the menu,

they have a pretty good wine list.

I'm gonna get the New York steak, "rare but not cold,"

a side of spinach and get this pinot.

- Great choice. - In a bottle.

Thank you.

What?

What's with that sheepish little grin?

There's a man over there.

He keeps looking at me, like he thinks he knows me.

But he doesn't.

He wants to.

Who can blame him?

Look at you in that dress.

This is the time where you give him that look that says...

my 400-pound wrestling championship husband

is about to walk through the door any minute and kill him.

Give it to him. Oh, yeah right.

I'm so practiced at that look. Come on.

Well, give it to him.

I... Wait...

Like that? Like...

That's way to pretty. Like this.

- Yeah. There we go. - Sir?

Hey, won't you meet my beautiful wife.

- Isn't she something? - Wow, you are beautiful.

Is that right? Heh.

Yeah, she is. He's right. You are.

I think it worked.

Thank you.

These Saturday night dates, babe. They're not enough for me.

I know.

You didn't call me last night to say good night.

Shit, I'm sorry, I...

I got in so late,

and I'm coming down with something.

Can you hear me, do I sound all stuffed up?

A little bit.

Yeah, I think I'm getting an ear infection. I can only hear

in one ear right now so... I-I didn't even eat.

I passed out, I went right to sleep, so...

Would you please... Please come to Montana?

I-I-I don't... ever get used to not being around you.

We've done this plenty of times and it just never,

it just never feels right, so please come.

Remember, the last time I came on your location?

I read three novels, and according to my Fitbit, I walked 70 miles.

You make that sound like it's a bad thing.

Well, it's good for my health obviously, but...

With the girls both finally away at school

and the catering business is starting to take off...

You know, yesterday, I had an order for 300 chocolate covered strawberries.

I ate all the ugly ones. It was a big mistake.

Oh, no.

You and chocolate. No good.

I don't know what happens to me around chocolate.

I just... I'm a goner.

You once you told me I was better than chocolate. Remember?

- No, I've never said that. - Yes, you did.

- In your dreams. - You did.

Come to Montana and I'll remind you.

You have a whole cast and crew who revere and adore you.

Yeah, yeah... I'm the producer, remember...

I write the checks.

So yes, they adore me.

Oh, thank you.

- May I... - Thank you.

Start while your steak's hot.

- Your Sauvignon blanc, madame. - Perfect.

So, c'mon then,

tell me, what's the craziest thing that happened this week?

The craziest thing.

Well, we were, uh...

We were shooting trying to get a shot of the actors

sailing on the lake at sunset.

And suddenly the follow barge, it starts to sink.

And water is coming in the boat, yeah.

So, we take all the equipment and the crew,

and we go to the other side of the boat.

That side starts going down.

We barely made it to the shore

and we totally lost the sunset shot.

It is pretty funny, actually.

Yeah, I guess,

if I wasn't responsible for the budget.

We went over again. So...

- Filet of sole. - That.

- Bon appétit. - Thanks.

Yeah, well, I kind of rode my own sinking barge this week.

You know that bit in the front entry that we patched over twice?

- Yes... - Well, it opened up again.

And Rafael found a kind of subterranean geyser.

So, what do we do now?

Rafael is gonna come back tomorrow to discuss it.

- To surprises. - Surprises.

Oh, look who it is.

Jack? Hey.
