SCENE ONE
The present. A snowy winter night in Connecticut. Gabe and Karenâs eat-in kitchen. Gabe and Karen are entertaining their good friend, Beth, at an informal dinner, which is now moving on to the dessert course. Dishes are being cleared, coffee is being prepared. Four children, now offstage, had been seated at the table with them. Beth is distracted but not impolite.
GABE: Oh, and this market she took us to!
KAREN: She took us shopping.
BETH: Uh-huh.
GABE: Campo di Fiori.
KAREN: This indoor market.
GABE: Fish, produce, you name it!
KAREN: Gorgeous stuff. Really.
GABE: Rabbits, goats . . .
KAREN: So aromatic. So . . . colorful. And the faces!
GABE: I got some great shots.
KAREN: The authority with which she handled every onion, every red pepper!
BETH: Huh.
GABE: Sheâd squeeze an eggplant just so, and close her eyes and inhale . . . (He demonstrates. Beth smiles)
KAREN: This is someone whoâs been cooking for seventy-five years. Can you imagine?
BETH: Wow.
GABE: Her relationship to food is so primal, so sexy, really. Gave us a great angle for our piece.
BETH: Huh!
KAREN (Over âHuh!â): Well, I donât know about sexy . . . Sheâs eighty-six years old.
GABE: Yeah, but you see the way she handles a zucchini?
KAREN (To Beth): Regular or decaf?
BETH: Uh . . . (Looks at the clock) Better make it decaf.
(She gathers a few plates; Gabe takes them from her.)
Let me do something.
GABE (Sotto voce): No, no, sit.
(Beth does, reluctantly.)
KAREN: The traffic to her place was absolutely horrific.
BETH: Oh, really?
GABE: Harrowing. Truly.
KAREN: What are you complaining about? I did the driving.
GABE: I know. (To Beth) Sheâs amazingâshe drives like a New York cabbie. She does. I couldnât drive, I was too culture-shocked. I was afraid Iâd get us killed. Our bodiesâd have to be shipped home through the State Department . . .
BETH: Uch! Gabe!
GABE (Continuous): . . . you and Tom would become the boysâ guardians, raise them on processed foods . . .
(Beth swipes at him affectionately for his affectionate dig.)
KAREN: Is that really what was going through your head?
GABE: Absolutely.
KAREN: You are one morbid dude, my darling.
GABE: Yes, and Iâm all yours.
(They kiss.)
BETH: So did you ever get to Rome?
GABE (Confused by her question): What?
KAREN: This is Rome, Beth.
GABE: Emilia lives outside of Rome.
KAREN: Remember?
BETH (Over Gabeâs âRomeâ): Oh, of course, Iâm sorry, I thought this was Florence you were talking about.
GABE (Over âyou were talking aboutâ): No no, we havenât gotten to Florence yet.
KAREN: Is this really boring?
BETH: No, no, not at all.
KAREN: It is, weâll shut up.
BETH: No, no, go on. I want to hear about it. I do.
KAREN: Why donât we just get to lunch.
GABE: Okay, so we get there in one piece . . .
BETH: Yeah? . . .
GABE: I am drenched with sweat from the hellish journey, I stumble out of the car, feeling a bit queasy . . .
KAREN: And sheâs preparing this lunch! . . .
GABE: This feast!
BETH: Wow.
KAREN: The simplest, freshest . . .
GABE: Uh! The pomodoro! Tell her about the pomodoro!
KAREN: Right. She had this lovely sunny little pantry . . .
BETH: Yeah? . . .
GABE: Filled with jars and jars . . .
KAREN: Jars and jars of her own plum tomatoes picked from her own garden, that were the most incredible, succulent . . .
GABE: You wouldnât believe how red these tomatoes were . . .
BETH: Hmm . . .
GABE: . . . and sweet!
KAREN: They were so soft, Beth . . .
GABE: Buttery, almost.
KAREN: They were. And she just crushed them with her bare hands.
BETH: Huh!
GABE: Pulverized them . . .
KAREN: You shouldâve seen . . .
GABE (Continuous): . . . in her gnarled little hands. It was a riot, this little old lady . . .
KAREN: It was funny, it really was.
BETH (Smiling): Uh-huh.
GABE: I mean, sheâs really tiny, like 4â 10â or something.
KAREN: No . ...
