James:
Nicole's never been to a real farm before.

[looks at Tara, she nods, trying to smile]

James:
So when her mother gets back, we'll meet up, and, uh... we'll take it from there.

Mr. Reedy:
Joleen's living the good life, huh? In her magnificent country estate.

James:
I didn't say estate.

[Tara looks at Mr. Reedy apprehensively, then her eyes fall back onto her plate]

Mr. Reedy:
She still living with that one guy?

[at this Tara goes stiff, staring at her grandfather]

Mr. Reedy:
What was his name? You know, the one that knocked her up.

James:
[Tara turns her horrified eyes on James, who very slightly shakes his head to her] No.

Mr. Reedy:
What about the kid? Did she end up having it? I never heard, so you can imagine I'm a little curious.

[chuckles]

James:
[looks at Tara again] No.

[Tara is silent, looking upset and confused]

Mr. Reedy:
Well, I got the one, though. Right, Nicole? One grandkid's better than nothing.

[Tara nods, trying to hide her unhappiness at the truth of how she was born]
