You know, Diva, you look really beautiful today.

Thank you, Laura. So do you.

I love your hair.

I like your hair.

Mm.

What is that scent?

Do you like it?

Oh, yeah.

I like it.

I'll take those.

You remember Dave Pembroke?

I do remember Dave Pembroke.

Billy.

How are you?

His wife, Evie.

Hey.

Evie's wife, Carol.

Hi, Evie.

Hey, girl.

Nice to meet you.

Excuse me.

Oh, no, no, no, no. No. No, Billy, we're actually gonna put you in the

middle.

No, no, Billy sits here. Billy sits-

Billy'll be in the middle.

Don't fight over me.

And I'll put Diva right here.

Diva.

It's fine, hon.

Okay, I'll get another chair.

So this is my-

Yeah, thank you. Come on, you sit here.

Diva.

Diva.

Just want you to know who runs this house.

Laura,

get you some coffee here. It's good to see you, man.

It's good to see you too, man.

I remember your older brother.

Oh, Jesus. Are you still kicking ass?

Yeah, I remember when you and he took on the, uh,

Statler twins in the Ram's

Horn parking lot in Woodward Avenue.

Stop it.

William Losk, Michigan.

Your, your husband was a bruiser in high school.

Let's hope marriage and, uh, California settled him down a little bit.

Well, he's settled down. He's just a big pushover now.

Somehow, Evie, I kinda doubt that, but-

So Dave, uh, Marty tells me you're doing pretty good

for yourself lately.

Good for himself? He's got 18 furniture stores.

So you're in Orange County now.

That's he's doing good for himself.

Um, excuse me. I'm just gonna go help Lucia in the

kitchen for one second.

Okay, good. You help Lucia in the kitchen.

Oh, Billy, you need a place setting.

No, Laura, Laura, Lucia will get it.

Yeah.

Lucia.

No, no, no.

Lucia.

No, that's okay.

Lucia.

No, no, no.

Laura, Laura, sit down please.

It's, it's, it's fine.

No, honey.

Honey, I know exactly where it is.

Sit down. Come on.

I'm gonna go help Diva.

Come on. I j- I want you to relax.

No, I, I-

I don't want your food to get cold.

Honey, I know exactly where it is.

It's the Pembroke-

I'm gonna go help Diva, okay?

Okay.

Careful with the butter.

Diva.

I'm-

I am so sorry. I really am so sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me.

I feel like a pig. I'm sorry.

What is going on?

Well,

Marty told me this thing about you in college and, and, and seeing

girls, and ever since he told me I just can't get

it or you out of my

mind.

You do know I'm getting married in two months, right?

Yes, I do.

You do?

I do. And, and like I said before, I'm sorry. I am.

I'm just so attracted to you.

Laura.

So you ever see the Statler twins, Dave?

Do I see them? No. They still live back in Michigan.

You ever see any of the guys you beat up?

Just curious.

First of all, I didn't beat that many guys up. And second of all, no.

Left Michigan after high school and haven't been back.

Must be kinda weird to run into somebody 20 years after you beat them up.

Hey, Dave, remember me? You broke my clavicle. You look good.

I'm sorry, Diva.

Yeah.

I'm really sorry.

You should be.

I'm really not into women.

Me neither.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Okay.

Okay. Laura,

I'm gonna go.

Yeah, I think that's the best thing in this

situation. I'm gonna go.

I'm straight. I am. I'm straight.

I am.

So what we're talking about, we have 10 lots we can obtain, okay?

And these houses finished are now at a million, million two.

Yeah, if not more I think.

We have seven, seven and a quarter into some of the houses.

Okay. Well, I'm gonna say goodbye.

Something wrong, Diva?

No, no, no, no, no, I'm...

I gotta be somewhere. I'm running really, really straight, late.

I'm running really late. I'm gonna go.

Okay. Dave, the other thing you gotta keep in mind-

Oh, come on, Diva.

I know.

Just stay a while.

Obviously staying-

Marty,

tell Diva not to go.

Okay. Diva, don't go. Bye.

You're, you're looking at, you're looking at a thousand houses-

No, no, no. No, don't, don't.

Come on, Laura.

Just stay.

I have to go now.

Well, let me walk you to the door.

No. Laura,

I know where the door is.

You know what, Laura? I'll walk her to the door, okay?
