Jesse Neve
Sunday in the kitchen …
JESSE:
Neve, what are you doing standing on the chair like that?
NEVE:
I watching T’hariel. Look, she riding Patience.
JESSE:
Really? Let me see.
NEVE:
Look at her! She saying hi to us.
JESSE:
And now she’s off.
NEVE:
Wow, Patience is so fast.
JESSE:
OK they’re gone. Now get off or sit down. What’s it gonna be?
NEVE:
I sit down. Can I have a cookie?
JESSE:
No, but you can have some grapes.
NEVE:
OK.
NEVE:
… Jesse, you went on a date with her, right? How it went?
JESSE:
Who told you that?
NEVE:
Grace.
JESSE:
Grace! How the hell did she find out?
Great, that means everyone knows. Neve sit.
NEVE:
Was it a good date?
JESSE:
Yeah, not that it’s any of your business.
NEVE:
Did you kiss her?
JESSE:
Neve - what the hell?
NEVE:
You can tell me. I be your sister.
JESSE:
So what?
NEVE:
We have no secrets. Well did you?
JESSE:

JESSE:
Neve, Tahariel’s very busy. She just became a doctor,
remember? And soon - she’ll be starting her residency …
NEVE:
What that?
JESSE:
It means she’ll be working long, crazy hours
at the hospital, like - forever.
NEVE:
Oh. She’s so smart. Are you scared she’s smarter than you?
It’s OK you know. You smart too, in other things.
JESSE:
Thank you for noticing - you’re the only one who has,
but yeah, she’s really, really, really smart.
NEVE:
She’s pretty too.
JESSE:

NEVE:
I think she’s perfect. You should marry her.
JESSE:
Hey, we just went on our first date. Don’t get crazy on me.
NEVE:
You like her. I can tell. You like her a lot.
You gotta take her on another date.
JESSE:

NEVE:
Good. Don’t wait too long.
