JULES: Why choose? You’re eating for two, aren’t you?
JULES: There. Problem solved.
PAIGE: OMG …
PAIGE: Why didn’t I think of that?
PAIGE: Thank you!
JULES: You’re welcome!
PAIGE: We’re also going to be looking at a few houses. David really wants us settled before the baby is born.
JULES: I think that’s a good idea, but don’t tell him I said that.
JULES: So, you should definitely buy a house today—and make it a nice one, while you’re at it. Don’t be afraid to use Carter’s money.
PAIGE: You really don’t think using it would curse the house, or something like that?
JULES: Hell, no.
JULES: I mean, putting some of that money in Jacob’s college fund isn’t going to curse him, is it?
JULES: No, it isn’t. So, buy a majorly nice house, the house of your dreams, then live your best fucking life in it.
PAIGE: Wow. Okay.
PAIGE: So, enough about me. How are YOU doing?
PAIGE: How’s Malcom?
JULES: I’m fine and he’s fine. We’re both fine.
PAIGE: Does that mean things are progressing nicely?
Even though it really went against the grain to not share things with her best friend, Jules didn’t want to get into anything even remotely related to Evan, yet (and what may or may not happen after the meeting with him in a few days), mainly because that was a tenuous situation, but also because she didn’t want Paige to be focused on anything other than incubating a baby and tiring her husband out. So, Jules kept her response neutral.
JULES: Yes, things are progressing nicely.
PAIGE: I take it you two ‘go to the mattresses’ a lot?
PAIGE: Did you see what I just did there?
JULES: You mean make a lame sexual innuendo and desecratingThe Godfather?
PAIGE: It wasn’t lame and you know it.
PAIGE: Lame would have been me asking if you two were spending a lot of time playing ‘take the cannoli’.
That one was so terrible, Jules actually laughed out loud.
JULES: That probably would have ended our friendship, right there.
JULES: We wouldn’t have been able to come back from that.
PAIGE: Wrong. We can survive anything.
Jules smiled to herself, because Paige was herperson. They truly had been through a lot, most of it good, some of it bad, and some of it really bad, but they had remained connected through it all, like sisters.
