Episode 75:

The day is Thursday April 20 1967.

Marvin gets a call from the waitress where Elouise and Talulla went to the cafe.

Marvin

Line 1) Talulla, someone’s on the phone for you.

Talulla is confused but listens into the calll.

Talulla

Line 2) Hello? Who’s this?

Server

Line 3) Hey, this is the server from that cafe down the street.

Server

Line 4) Is this Talulla?

Talulla

Line 5) Yes, that’s me. Why are you calling?

Line 6) Talulla: Why the heck is that random server reaching out to me? How’d they even get my number?

Line 7) Talulla: We had no connection whatsoever after I left. I didn’t even pay the bill.

Server

Line 8) Sorry for reaching out. You must be confused.

Server

Line 9) About that lady you were with last time…

Server

Line 10) She crashed at our cafe super drunk and laid out.

Server

Line 11) I tried talking to her, and that’s when she mentioned to call you, but from her friend Marvin’s phone, since she doesn’t have your number.

Server

Line 12) Since I’m calling you, do you mind picking her up? She’s causing quite a ruckus at the cafe.

Talulla is irritated.

Talulla

Line 13) I’ll be there soon. Sorry for the hassle.

Server

Line 14) That’s alright. I’m just glad someone’s there to handle it.

Talulla hangs up the phone.

Marvin

Line 15) Is everything okay?

Scene cuts to Talulla walking to the cafe.

Talulla’s narration:

Line 16) This is utterly ridiculous!

Line 17) She’s being irresponsible crashing at a random cafe.

Line 18) And the only person to deal with that crap is me!

Line 19) Because for some reason she called me.

Line 20) Which makes no sense, because we didn’t exactly end things on good terms.

Line 21) Either way, I’m sick of this girl already.

Line 22) I don’t care what’s going on with her, I don’t want to be affiliated.

Line 23) It’s my fault for taking pity on her and trying to be nice.

Talulla barges into the cafe and sees drunk Elouise sleeping on one of the tables.

She waves to the waitress.

She pokes Elouise.

Talulla

Line 24) Hey Elouise. Get the heck up!

Elouise doesn’t budge.

Talulla starts to shake her.

Talulla

Line 25) I don’t have time for this. Elouise! Get the heck up!

She stares around her to see other people alarmed in the cafe.

Line 25) Talulla: What the heck am I supposed to do? I’m frightening the guests.

Line 26) Talulla: I could just leave her outside.

Line 27) Talulla: But, that wouldn’t be safe.

Talulla huffs.

Line 28) Talulla: Why do I have to be such a goodie two shoes all the time? This girl doesn’t deserve it.

Talulla gets the server's attention.

Talulla

Line 29) Is the water free here?

Talulla tries to pick up Elouise.

Line 29) Talulla: Geez! She’s heavy.

Line 30) Talulla: Alright, all I have to do is make it to that bench.

Talulla slowly but surely drags unconscious Elouise to the bench.

She then props her up.

Talulla

Line 31) Gosh that was such a pain! I’ll probably be sore tomorrow.

Talulla snaps her fingers.

Talulla

Line 32) Hey Elouise! Wake the heck up!

Talulla

Line 33) This isn’t nap time!

Elouise remains unconscious.

Talulla

Line 34) Elouise!

Talulla

Line 35) ELOUISE!

Talulla gets her cup of water and throws it into Elouise’s face.

Elouise wakes up and chokes from the water.

Talulla

Line 36) Finally!

Elouise drunkenly responds.

Elouise

Line 37) Hey! Now my makeup’s ruined.

Talulla

Line 38) Why the heck are you so drunk?

Elouise

Line 39) I can drink whenever I want to.

Talulla

Line 40) Give me your cell phone.

Elouise

Line 41) My cell phone. What’s that?

Talulla

Line 42) Oh. I forgot people nowadays don’t have those things. But, I wanted to call your brother.

Elouise groans.

Elouise

Line 43) Don’t call him.

Talulla

Line 44) I can’t. Now how am I going to get you home? Should I just use a payphone?

Elouise

Line 45) Stop, don’t call him.

Talulla

Line 46) You’re such a pain. Why the heck did you ask me to come here?!!

Elouise

Line 47) Cause… I need to say something to you.

Talulla

Line 48) Well then spit it out!

Elouise

Line 49) … I wanted to tell you that I’m sorry.

Talulla goes silent.

Line 50) Talulla: She’s sorry? Am I hearing this correctly?

Elouise

Line 51) I’m sorry for dragging you to that cafe with me and crying my heart out in front of you.

Elouise

Line 52) You must’ve been uncomfortable.

Elouise

Line 53) And I’m sorry for telling you to split your friends up. That was out of line. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Elouise

Line 54) I’m also sorry for speaking to you so rudely.

Talulla

Line 55) What prompted this?

Elouise is confused.

Talulla

Line 56) Why are you sorry now? When it’s been a couple of days.

Elouise

Line 57) Cause I was called out.

Line 58) Talulla: At least she’s being honest.

Elouise

Line 59) Marvin met up with me yesterday to talk.

Elouise

Line 60) He said he knew everything.

Elouise

Line 61) How I planned to stage our proposal in front of everyone, so that he had to say yes. In spite of the fact that it was supposed to look like an accident on my part.

Elouise

Line 62) He said he forgives me.

Elouise

Line 63) And that all he wants in return is for me to leave him and his girlfriend alone.

Elouise starts getting emotional.

Elouise

Line 64) Hearing it from him was like a reality check.

Elouise

Line 65) I guess it just made me realize I was the evil one behind all of this.

Elouise

Line 66) I’m a terrible person for going to those lengths to keep him with me. Especially since it was only one-sided.

Elouise

Line 67) How could he possibly ever forgive me?

Elouise

Line 68) All I do is cause anguish to those around me.

Elouise

Line 69) The worst part is that I believed I was right and everyone else was wrong.

Elouise

Line 70) Why was I so brainwashed?

Elouise

Line 71) It’s like I’ve realized every bad thing that I’ve ever done.

Elouise

Line 72) I’m screwed. No one will ever forgive me now. It’s too late.

Elouise

Line 73) Sorry for crying in front of you like this.

Elouise tries wiping her face.

Elouise

Line 74) You can go now. I’m able to walk myself home.

Elouise

Line 75) That’s all I wanted to say. Sorry if it was a lot. I appreciate you coming by.

Talulla hesitates before she walks away.

Talulla

Line 76) I’m not gonna let a drunk person walk by themselves home.

Talulla

Line 77) I’m not familiar with these streets. But, all I know is that no matter what time it is.

Talulla

Line 78) It’s dangerous to walk home by yourself. Especially since you’re a woman.

Talulla

Line 79) I’ll walk beside you, just lead the way.

Elouise gets up grateful for what Talulla said.

Talulla

Line 80) Let’s make one thing clear though.

Talulla

Line 81) I don’t forgive you.

Talulla

Line 82) I won't until you say what you said today sober.

Talulla

Line 83) Since you’re drunk. I don’t trust anything you say.

Talulla

Line 84) I’ll leave a reminder just in case you forget the next day.

They get to walking home.

Shot cuts to Marvin and Calista watching Tv on the couch with Rex.

Calista

Line 85) You think everything’s gonna be okay?

Marvin

Line 86) Yeah. I know Talulla said things didn’t go smoothly last time, but since Elouise is drunk. I think things will be easier this time around.

Marvin

Line 87) Why else would she have called her for the pick up?

Calista

Line 88) By the way, can we visit your mother again some time soon?

Calista

Line 89) I want to give her a gift since she welcomed us and made a meal last time.

Marvin smiles.

Marvin

Line 90)  Of course. She’d love that.

Marvin and Calista cuddle together with Rex as they watch Tv.

Calista’s narration:

Line 91) I know that Marvin’s on bad terms with his father.

Line 92) But, I’d really like to meet him some day.

Line 93) After all, he is related to him.

Line 94) Even if he’s a bad guy, he’s the reason why Marvin’s here today.

Line 95) Then, I can give him a peace of my mind for being so rude to my sweet boy.

Line 96) But, I’d be nice if we had his blessing to be seeing each other.

Line 97) It feels like I got Mama Milly’s blessing.

Marvin looks at Calista.

He strokes her face.

Then kisses her cheek.

Marvin

Line 98) You keep tensing your eyebrows.

Marvin

Line 99) What are you thinking about?

Calista

Line 100) U-Uh. Just thinking. These thoughts never stop.

Calista knocks on her head.

Calista

Line 101) I’m just really expressive.

They continue watching the movie and it talks about dads.

Line 102) Character 1: But, what about you dad?

Line 103) Character 1: Will you give me your blessing for this marriage?

Line 104) Character 2: Of course I will, son. You’re my blood after all.

Calista gives Marvin the side eye and he catches her glance.

She flinches a bit, not expecting for him to be in contact.

Marvin

Line 105) Ask. Don’t be afraid.

Line 106) Calista: He reads me so well.

Calista

Line 107) So, about your dad…

Marvin

Line 108) You want to meet him?

Marvin

Line 109) Because you think it’s wrong that you’re here but have no interaction with him whatsoever?

Calista

Line 110) Um. Well, you said it.

Marvin smiles.

Marvin

Line 111) You’ve caught some glimpse of him.

Marvin

Line 112) If you want a full-fledged interaction, be well prepared.

Calista is confused on how Marvin agreed so nonchalantly.
