301
Uh, well, I talked to Julie, and -- thanks. And she suggested rib1 eye steaks.
302
She said that's your favorite.
303
Oh, yeah, I love my steak.
304
Hi, Mike. Susan.
305
Hey, I'm sorry about your house. How you holding up?
306
All right, I guess.
307
Oh, is somebody having a party?
308
No, Susan's just throwing me one of her traditional welcome-to-the-neighborhood dinners,
309
only I'm cooking...
310
and having it at my house.
311
Ha ha. Traditional, huh? I didn't get one.
312
Oh, it's sort of a new tradition.
313
Well, it won't be anything fancy. Just a little home cooking.
314
That sounds so good.
315
Susan suddenly had an awful feeling in the pit of her stoma...
316
I've been having nothing but fast food lately.
317
As if she was watching an accident in slow motion.
318
She knew it would happen, but was powerless to stop it.
319
Edie, would you like to join us for dinner?
320
Oh, that's so sweet.
321
No, I don't want to intrude2. Three's a crowd.
322
No, it's not like that. I mean, Susan's bringing Julie.
323
Yeah, it's not like that.
324
The more, the merrier.
325
- Well, this will be fun.
- All right.
326
- Tomorrow night.We'll eat at 6:00.
- Great.
327
Oh, and, Susan...
- Yeah.
328
This will make up for the dinner that you never threw me.
329
Right. Ha ha.
330
Should I have told her we were having steak?
331
She's not, like, a vegetarian3 or something, is she?
332
Oh, no, no.
333
No, edie's definitely a carnivore.
334
Here's, um...
335
Here's what I pulled for Edie.
336
I should warn you that most of the clothes in there aren't that stylish4.
337
Oh, don't worry about it. Edie's a beggar now,
338
which means she can'be a chooser.
339
Of course, we don't have to add salt to the wound.
340
Listen, I was just getting dinner ready.
341
Say no more.
342
- I'll get out of your hair.
- No, no.
343
By the way, was that you I saw getting pulled over by a policeman?
344
Yeah, the boys were acting5 up in the car,
345
and I couldn't get them to sit down.
346
Young boys can be so willful.
347
I try everything.
348
I scream, I threaten, I reason, I beg. Nothing works.
349
I don't know if it's because they're too young and they don't understand,
350
or if they're just getting some perverse6 joy out of testing me.
