She looked so beautiful. I wanted to hug her.
:06:05
Yeah. But I had to get up early
and film a deodorant commercial.

:06:09
That's work at least, right?
:06:12
I think someone rang before. Did you hear?
:06:14
- So, how do you all know each other?
- We grew up together, Cassie and I.

:06:19
We were those little girls at school
with the plaid skirts.

:06:23
- And Lee and I met at Northwestern.
- He was the star actor, the handsome athlete.

:06:27
Everybody wanted him. But Laurel got him.
:06:34
- Melinda?
- Hi.

:06:36
Melinda?
:06:39
- Hi, Melinda, hi.
- My goodness.

:06:41
God.
:06:43
Cassie.
:06:45
I'm stunned.
:06:47
Here, let me take these.
:06:49
God, look at you. You look so...
:06:52
No, don't. Don't say what you're thinking of.
:06:55
I've been on a bus.
I've been on a Greyhound bus since Tuesday,

:06:59
so I'm sure I look like
the wreck of the Hesperus.

:07:03
A bus from where?
I mean, what are you doing here?

:07:07
I've moved around.
I had to keep moving.

:07:11
Events unfolded
:07:14
in such a way that...
:07:17
Is it all right if I smoke?
:07:20
I just feel a little nervous
barging in on you like this.

:07:25
Why don't you sit down and eat with us?
This is Jack and Sally Oliver.

:07:28
- Hi.
- Hi.

:07:30
I'm Melinda Robicheaux.
:07:32
I've gone back to my mother's name.
It's French. She was Parisienne.

:07:36
You must have dropped
off the goddamn moon.

:07:38
- Shall I get a chair?
- I could use a drink.

:07:41
Champagne or white wine.
:07:44
The truth is,
I've gotten very used to single malt Scotch.

:07:49
An acquaintance of mine
introduced me to it, so...

:07:53
I really should freshen up, though.
:07:56
If I could just get a single malt Scotch, and...
:07:59
Look at me. Jesus. I need a hot shower.
