10 "Drowned" excerpts + LA photographs





A Hispanic busboy appears with a cheese grater. He stands near the table and waits without saying anything.

DOLORES (CONT’D)
I wish I could have been there.

PHILIP
You had to work, I totally understood.

DOLORES
(to the busboy)
Yes?

BUSBOY
Cheese.

DOLORES
No thank you - (to Philip) I wish it had been this weekend.

BUSBOY
(to Philip)
Cheese?

PHILIP
No thanks - (to Dolores) You work six days a week, the timing was not great, I understood.
(beat)
Don’t feel bad. You always came to my baseball games when I was a kid.

DOLORES
I had time to do it back then.
The busboy hesitates.

PHILIP
(to the busboy)
I’m sorry...

The busboy leaves.

DOLORES
If it’s not Greek, he doesn’t like it...

PHILIP
The busboy?
