Scene 1
Eli: Hey, I was telling your friend, Coleman, actually
that this place -- it reminds me of a bar back home.
Anna: Oh, yeah, in Melbourne?
Eli: Yeah, it's -- we should go there for a few
drinks next time we're there.
Anna: Okay.
Eli: That is, provided you're planning on coming on
the Aussie leg of the tour.
Anna: When is it?
Eli: Fall, end of October, maybe. I'll have -- I'll
have Chip send you the exact date.
Anna: Yeah, it's all right. I'll catch up with you
on the European leg.
Eli: Why, you don't want to come see my home in
Melbourne?
Anna: Yeah, of course I do. I'd love to, but I have
other plans for the fall.
Eli: What plans?
Anna: I should have told you this -- but then I'd
have to kill you.
Eli: Hey, it's Patrick and Robin. Come over for
drinks, guys. We've been waiting for you. Come on. Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute.
You're pregnant? Hey, that makes you a --
Anna: A grandma.
Scene 2
Eli: You are so pregnant.
Robin: Okay, you really have to stop saying that.
Eli: How is that possible?
Patrick: Well, it's very -- fairly common when a
man and a woman love each other. They --
Eli: No, no, I know that topic, mate. But I mean,
how is it possible I missed it last night?
Robin: Well, because I was in a hurry. I was on my
way to surgery, and we had to --
Anna: Robin was deliberately avoiding you for my
sake.
Eli: Because?
Anna: You're a rock star, and I'm a
soon-to-be-grandmother, and Robin was withholding that little piece of
information, and I let her, which is fundamentally dishonest, and I'm sorry for
that. My only defense is that I've really enjoyed spending time with you. I've
loved it. It was great.
Eli: Wait. You're the most amazing, kick-ass woman
I have ever met. You connect with me. You connect with my music. Why would I
walk away from that just because your daughter gets herself knocked up?
Scene 3 Eli:
Make it a double. I think he deserves it.
Patrick: I appreciate the sympathy, but I'm looking
forward to being a father. Sort of. Yes, it took me a little bit to come around.
Coleman: Hey, I'm not complaining. This pregnancy
has made you my best customers.
Eli: To the father to be. Congratulations?
Patrick: Cheers.
Anna: I feel really stupid and shallow thinking
that Eli would just run for the hills as soon as he found out I was going to be
a grandmother.
Robin: I understood why you were worried. I was a
little worried. I mean, I have been worried ever since you got involved with him
because I don't want you to get hurt.
Anna: I know. I don't want Patrick to hurt you
either. I was kind of worried about you, too.
Robin: What do you know? They both surprised us.
Anna: Mm.
Scene
4
Patrick: Hey.
Robin: So what were you talking to the rock star
about?
Patrick: I was just telling him that I'm looking
forward to being a father.
Robin: What did he think about that? The truth.
Coleman: Eli thinks some men were born to be wild.
Patrick: Perfect. Eli. Hey, my old man. How are you
doing?
Chip: This is Allison. She's from "A.S."
magazine. Allison. Eli Love.
Eli: Hey, Allison.
Chip: Eli.
Allison: Pleasure to meet you.
Coleman: What can I do for you folks?
Chip: Uh, just a soda. I've got a long night ahead.
Allison: Uh, I'll take a beer. Doesn't feel right
drinking anything else in a place like this.
Coleman: I'll take that as a compliment.
Allison: Well, you should, I love the atmosphere.
But it's not exactly where I pictured you hanging out.
Eli: Good, I like to be unpredictable.
Anna: You're definitely that.
Allison: So you're the girlfriend?
Eli: Oh, my girlfriend's flying in from Sydney
tomorrow, actually. She's doing a photo shoot, you know? Can't seem to get
enough photos of her in a bikini. Not that I blame them. Anna and I are old
friends. We're old friends. She goes way, way back. She's pretty much settled
down, now, right? You're going to be a grandmother soon, aren't you?
Scene 5 Anna:
I wouldn't dream of intruding on my old friend's interview. Excuse me. I'm
leaving.
Robin: No. Go tell that girl the truth. Tell her
that Eli is really into you.
Anna: Mm-mm. No, if it's part of his public image
to pretend that I'm just an old friend, that's his --
Coleman: That guy's done way too many drugs if he
thinks that an action babe like you doesn't fit right in with his image.
Anna: Thank you.
Coleman: You're welcome.
Patrick: You know what, you're being way too nice
about this. Excuse me.
Eli: Well, I got my inspiration from --
Patrick: Excuse me, hey, Eli. I have something from
my child's grandmother.
Eli: Oh.
