Yeah, me.<br />
ELEANOR<br />
JACEY<br />
I just thought you and Steve...<br />
ELEANOR<br />
Well, that's what you thought. I<br />
think Steve is... I don't even<br />
know what I think about Steve, I<br />
never think about him. I just do<br />
things. And let other people<br />
figure them out. That's what<br />
parents are for. They're real<br />
good at doing all the thinking.<br />
Why should I?<br />
(slight beat)<br />
Alice is going to have a baby.<br />
She and Kilroy didn't waste any<br />
time. He's already talking about<br />
having another, and Alice is upchucking<br />
every hour on the hour.<br />
She's got morning-noon-and-night<br />
sickness. I've got the feeling<br />
she'll be barefoot and puking for<br />
years to come. Wallpaper patterns<br />
-- that's all she talks about.<br />
She and my mother spend hours<br />
looking at wallpaper pattern<br />
books. That's another thing I<br />
never think about... wallpaper.<br />
(another beat)<br />
Well, I think this is called the<br />
silent treatment. I get enough of<br />
that from my father, I don't need<br />
it from you. Good luck at Penn.<br />
She starts to walk away, but Jacey pulls her back and<br />
kisses her fiercely -- Eleanor responds with equal heat.<br />
They don't see Pamela enter the garage. Pam studies them<br />
for an imperturbable beat, then:<br />
PAMELA<br />
Come on, Eleanor -- Dad's waiting.<br />
23 EXT. TEXACO STATION - DAY (MOMENTS LATER) 23<br />
The Abbotts drive away. Jacey stands in the garage in<br />
the b.g. He watches the Cadillac disappear into traffic.
