: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.
:08:02
Yeah. OK, please...
:08:05
Excuse us. Please start.
:08:07
This is so unexpected.
:08:11
I'll say.
:08:14
- You had no hint she was coming?
- She was nuts then, and she's nuts now.
:08:18
- Did you see the look in her eyes?
- She's been on a bus.
:08:21
You were asking how we know each other.
:08:23
Melinda is the third musketeer.
We went to school together.
:08:26
- We haven't heard from her in ages.
- Yeah. She's had personal difficulties.
:08:31
She said she'd be coming to New York from...
I can't remember, Chicago or Indiana,
:08:35
and could we put her up?
Laurel said, "Sure. " I myself...
:08:39
This is not the time to discuss this.
Let's just eat and change the subject.
:08:44
Well, what can you do? We've all had friends
drop in unannounced. Remember your aunt?
:08:48
I put up an extra bed. I fix up the room for her.
She doesn't show when she says she will.
:08:53
So we try to contact her
and there's no trace of her.
:08:57
Two months later, she calls up unannounced
in the middle of a frigging dinner party.
