Marvin and Calista sit and have dinner together. Calista reflects about their day. Calista’s narration: Line 1) Today, Marvin was so wholesome. Line 2) Like a little kid, who’s been waiting his whole life to go cycling with the right person. Line 3) I feel like he’s acting this way, because he had to grow up so quickly. Line 4) It’s like his inner child came out. Line 5) I hope that what we did was healing for him. Line 6) I can’t remember how my life was before Marvin. Line 7) I can’t believe I’ve spent my whole life without someone like him in it. Line 8) Even since Raymond left, there was an empty space in my heart for so long. Line 9) But, when Marvin came, he repaired it with lots of love. Line 10) Although, no one can ever replace Raymond. Line 11) There’s someone else that my heart made room for. Line 12) Now I can’t imagine my life without him. Line 13) It’s gonna be so hard to say goodbye when that time comes. Marvin grabs Calista’s hands. Marvin Line 14) Wasn’t today fun? Calista puts her hands over Marvins. Calista Line 15) Every moment with you is fun. Calista Line 16) And look how today ended up. Calista Line 17) You’re looking like a bombshell. Marvin swifts his hair. Shot cuts to Marvin's dad having dinner at the same restaurant with Marvin’s dad’s friend. His friends lean forward to tell him something. Dad’s friend Line 18) Don’t look to the side so swiftly when I tell you this. Dad’s friend Line 19) I think your son’s dressed up as a woman. Marvin’s dad chokes on his water. Marvin’s dad Line 20) What the hell are you talking about? Dad’s friend Line 21) Look steadily to the side, but don’t make it too obvious. Marvin’s dad does just that. He spots Marvin dressed all girly. Line 22) Marvin’s dad: T-That’s really him. Marvin’s dad gives a blank stare. Dad’s friend Line 23) I guess we weren’t far off when we said he was gay. Marvin’s dad hides his face. Marvin’s dad Line 24) Don’t pay any mind to it. Dad’s friend Line 25) Who’s the woman he’s with? Marvin’s dad Line 26) Forget about it. Dad’s friend Line 26) They’re holding hands. Marvin’s dad abruptly looks their way again. He notices the both of them holding hands. Marvin’s dad Line 27) I-I don’t know what’s going on. Dad’s friend Line 28) Talk with him. She could be his girlfriend. Marvin’s dad Line 29) No way. He’s got a thing for Elouise Hall. Dad’s friend Line 30) Still on about that? He said there was nothing between them. Marvin’s dad Line 31) I don’t care what’s going on between them. I only care about her dad. Marvin’s dad Line 32) He’s a powerful guy, so if our business’ merge because of their marriage, we could Benefit a lot. Marvin’s dad’s friend looks annoyed. Dad’s friend Line 33) All you think about is business. Dad’s friend Line 34) Making sure your son has an authentic relationship matters more than that. Don’t take advantage of him. He deserves better. Marvin’s dad blows the situation off. His dad’s friend has his eyes set on Marvin and Calista. Marvin’s dad Line 35) Stop looking at them. Or they’ll notice. Dad’s friend Line 36) I think that she actually IS his girlfriend. Marvin’s dad Line 37) How can you assume that, when we haven’t even talked to them? Dad’s friend Line 38) Something about the way she looks at him. Dad’s friend Line 39) She holds so much love in her eyes. What a score for Marvin! Marvin’s dad looks at the couple again and sees them being lovey dovey. Line 40) Marvin’s dad: Maybe he’s right. But, that doesn’t explain why he’s dressed the way he is. Marvin and Calista leave the restaurant. Shot cuts to Talulla at home. She gets a ding dong on her door. She goes to open it and sees Elouise. Elouise waves at Talulla. Elouise Line 41) Hey there. Are you free right now? Talulla Line 42) Yes, I was waiting till you would contact me. Elouise blushes. Elouise Line 43) Y-You w-were waiting for me? Talulla opens a newspaper and reads. Talulla Line 44) Well duh. It’s boring here without any internet. While the love birds go out all day leaving me with their dog. Talulla Line 45) But, at least he’s a cutie. Talulla pets Rex. Elouise Line 46) The internet? What’s that? Talulla remembers that Elouise doesn’t know. Talulla Line 47) Oh, it’s… Something. You’ll find out soon enough. Line 48) Talulla: I need to make sure not to slip up around her. Talulla shows Elouise the newspaper crossword puzzle she filled out. Talulla Line 49) These are the lengths I’ve resorted to. Elouise looks at the puzzle. Elouise Line 50) Oh. I’m pretty sure all of this is wrong. Talulla Line 51) So what? I make the rules. Talulla Line 52) Anyway. Should we go out somewhere? Elouise blushes. Elouise Line 53) Go out somewhere? Talulla Line 54) Yeah, it’s Friday. We should celebrate the end of the week. Elouise Line 55) O-Oh, I guess. Talulla Line 56) We should also celebrate your new self. Elouise blushes. Talulla Line 57) I take it that things went well with Todd. Elouise Line 58) Yeah. All thanks to you. Talulla drum rolls on the table. Talulla Line 59) I need a drink. Talulla Line 60) Do you know a good place? Elouise nods her head. They head out to a rock bar. Talulla Line 61) Order me a drink of your choice. Elouise does just that, and they drink while listening to the singers. Talulla smiles at Elouise. Talulla Line 62) Why don’t they have places like this nowadays? Elouise Line 63) What do you mean? Are you already getting buzzed? Talulla realizes her slip up. Talulla Line 64) Are you kidding? I’m not a lightweight. Elouise Line 65) Sure you aren’t. Talulla Line 66) So, how are you feeling lately because of your switch up? Elouise looks at Talulla upsettingly. Talulla Line 67) Oh, come on. That’s essentially what happened to you. Elouise Line 68) I’ve just been trying to get used to the way things are now. It’s only been a day, so. Elouise Line 69) But, when I’m around you, I feel comfortable. Elouise Line 70) So, is it okay, if I keep hanging out with you like this? Talulla Line 71) Of course. Come by any time. We’re friends after all. Line 72) Elouise: We’re friends! They smile at each other. Elouise Line 73) So, how should I take things? Talulla Line 74) One step at a time. Talulla Line 75) Baby steps. Figure out the things you want to accomplish. Talulla Line 76) For example, apologies. Go one person at a time. Talulla Line 77) And slowly earn back their trust by being friendly with them. Elouise Line 78) That sounds good. I’ll make sure to do that. Shot cuts back to the restaurant. Dad’s friend Line 79) Well, are you gonna go get him? Dad’s friend Line 80) This is the perfect time to talk with him. You know he hates when you stop by his place unattended. Dad’s friend Line 81) You’ll be able to meet his girl. Marvin’s dad Line 82) You’re being annoying. Marvin’s dad Line 83) I might as well do it just to get away from you. The friend's dad raises a glass to him. Dad’s friend Line 84) You’ll thank me someday for this. Marvin’s dad rolls his eyes and walks after Marvin and Calista. He calls for his name. Marvin’s dad Line 85) Marvin! Marvin’s dad waves at him. Marvin goes to a halt and glances over to see his dad. Calista Line 86) Is someone calling your name? Or is there another Marvin here? Marvin Line 87) Someone’s calling my name. Calista Line 88) Who is it? Marvin Line 89) My dad. Calista’s face goes blank. Marvin’s dad walks over to them. Marvin’s dad Line 90) Hey there, Marvin. Marvin Line 91) Hey there, dad. Calista gets a good look at Marvin’s dad. Line 92) Calista: Oh my Gosh. It’s Marvin's dad! Calista bows at him and keeps her eyes set on the ground. Line 93) Marvin: There she goes bowing again. Marvin’s dad is confused at Calista’s bowing. Calista Line 94) Greetings and salutations sir! Line 95) Marvin and Marvin’s dad: Greetings and salutations?! Marvin tries to hold in his laugh. Marvin’s dad Line 96) U-Uh. Hey, there. Who may you be? Calista looks at Marvin. Marvin nods his head for Calista to tell his dad who she is. Calista Line 97) It’s nice to meet you. I’m Marvin’s girlfriend. My name is Calista Turner, sir. Calista meets their eyes. Marvin's dad gets shocked. Marvin’s dad Line 98) Y-Your his girlfriend?! Marvin nods his head. Marvin Line 99) Yes. She’s my girlfriend. A moment of silence passes between them as Marvin’s dad processes everything. Marvin’s dad Line 100) That’s great news, Marvin. They all look at each other awkwardly. Marvin’s dad Line 101) Alright, I won’t keep you guys here any longer. Marvin’s dad looks at Marvin up and down about his outfit. Marvin’s dad Line 102) And I won’t question what you’re wearing. Marvin’s dad shakes Calista’s hand. Marvin’s dad Line 103) It was a pleasure meeting you, Calista. I hope the three of us can have dinner some time soon. Calista smiles. Calista Line 104) Pleasure’s mine. Have a good evening, sir. Marvin’s dad walks off and waves Marvin off. He goes back to the dining table. Dad’s friend Line 105) Back so quickly? How’d it go? Marvin’s dad looks irritable. Marvin’s dad Line 106) It went well. She’s very polite and made a good impression on me. Marvin’s dad’s friend raises his glass. Dad’s friend Line 107) Cheers to Marvin, and his girlfriend. Marvin’s dad hesitantly raises his glass and clinks it with his friend. Shot cuts back to Calista and Marvin. Marvin starts laughing. Calista’s concerned. Calista Line 108) Oh my Gosh. Are you okay? I made a fool of you, huh? Marvin puts his arm around Calista. Marvin Line 109) It’s fine. I could tell you made a good impression on him. Marvin imitates Calista. Marvin Line 110) “Greetings and Salutations”! Calista Line 111) Look, I panicked. I didn’t know what to say. Calista Line 112) Isn’t that how people talk in this time? Especially to their elders. Marvin laughs and shakes his head no. Calista Line 113) Jokes aside. Are you really okay, Marvin? Marvin Line 114) I’m okay, Calista. Don’t you worry. Marvin kisses Calista’s cheek. Calista Line 115) I feel bad I gave you this makeover and stumbled into you dad here. You have a lot of confidence pulling this off. Calista Line 116) The people at the restaurant were looking at you weirdly. I’m sorry if you felt embarrassed. Marvin Line 117) Don’t be, I’m the one who let you do this. Plus, I don’t care what anyone else thinks about me. Marvin Line 118) All I care is what you think of me. Calista looks at Marvin with empathetic eyes. Calista Line 119) I still feel bad, so let me make it up to you. Calista kisses his cheek. She leans her head on his shoulder.
