People Management [1]

Steaming vegetables. Mom is cooking. Grandma comes into the kitchen and asks if it’s a special day, since Mom is cooking up a spread. Mom answered that they might have a special guest. Grandma notices the ‘might’ and asks if they’re coming or not? Mom replies that if the guest doesn't come, they'll make a good chunk of money. Whichever it is, it's a good day. Heh. She’s funny. Grandma nods and understands that it’s that day.

Cairo is ripping through traffic, anxiously glancing at his watch as he does. Aunt is on the phone saying that she’s at the real estate agency and she’s there to the rental contract in Mom’s stead. Those two obnoxious ladies are waiting with the realtor. Wearing sunglasses inside. I find that so annoying. Aunt says that the time was set for 10AM. She was told to sign it if he wasn’t at the house by then. Cairo promises that he’s on his way. He asks Aunt to wait a bit. More crazy driving. Mom answers the phone and tells Aunt to sign it at 10 AM sharp. She is not budging! Aunt pulls out her seal and breathes on it. Cairo arrives at the house and runs around to drag a girl out of the car.

Rental Agency. Aunt gets a call and then apologizes that they’re no longer going to be leasing the apartment. Breathing hard, Cairo rushes into the house, announcing that he’s there. Grandma and Dad are smiling, looking to meet Cairo’s girlfriend. They stop smiling. Mom comes out and greets them. Natalie is hiding behind Cairo. She steps out from behind him and looks like a torn-up mess. Mom stops smiling. Natalie’s wearing torn white short-shorts and a purple lace halter and carrying fried chicken. What is she wearing? And what’s with her hair? Natalie’s wearing a sweet smile, though. The family can’t help but be slack-jawed.

[ People Management ]

Roll back to 17 hours before. I think I like how it gives us just a snippet and then rolls backward. I usually absolutely hate it, but it’s really working for me in this series. It’s right after Natalie’s court appearance when Cairo finds her on the sidewalk. Right where the first episode left off. Natalie walks past Cairo. Cairo falls in behind her. Natalie sums up: So, the mom who invited her over was his mom and she thinks they’re dating? Right. And Cairo wants her to fake a relationship with him? Yup. And meet his parents? Yes. So what was with the outfit?

Natalie stops and looks at him. Does she look *that* desperate for marriage? Cairo’s surprised by the question. Like the thought never occurred to him that she was desperate. She can't believe he’s asking her not to marry him but to fake a relationship, like she’s just crazy about getting married. It's so absurd and rude! Cairo asks if she would marry him if he actually asked her to? Natalie makes a face and tells him not to try flirting with her. No, thank you. Even if he were the last guy on earth, she wouldn't choose him, ever. And that’s a clear sign, if we hadn’t already figured out that they were going to fall in love with each other, that they will be falling in love with each other.

Cairo sarcastically thanks Natalie for her refusal. He explains that *that* is exactly why he needs her. The whole reason he’s taking her home is so he doesn't have to get married. Saying, “I have a girlfriend. No more blind dates.” Is this his plan? Bingo. Natalie tells him to just talk it out with his family. Cairo replies that if that could simply solve it, would he have come all the way there? Cairo mentions that he’s a little economically tight at the moment; she just needs to help him until it’s figured out. Natalie sees right through that: He needs money from his parents but he doesn't want to live the way they want him to. She asks him why she should help with such a sneaky plan.

Cairo declares that he’ll pay Natalie. How much does she make in an hour? Cairo declares that he’ll pay her three…no, five times what she makes. Natalie yells back at him that she wouldn't do it even for a million bucks! Cairo isn’t giving up. He asks if she wants to try again with Kelvin. Through gritted teeth, Natalie declares that she barely survived breaking up with him because of the humiliation. Start over with him? She starts muttering because the idea is crazy! Cairo tells her that she can start a new life with a new face. And he means that literally, since he’s a plastic surgeon. Not at all insulting to imply that her man problems are because she’s ugly.

Cairo starts laughing. Clueless to how that was so insulting. He pulls out a business card to prove it, but she shoves him aside. He says that dumped girls come to him all the time, to get prettier and take their revenge. Isn’t she going to take revenge? Looking at her face she should! Wow, so now she's not only desperate but ugly. We now can conclude that Cairo is good at insulting people but not at sweet talking them. It’s that surly nature of his.

Natalie stops, eyes closed with frustration. She opens them to the business card sitting right in her face and Cairo smiling sweetly. She yells, asking what his problem is! She declares that everything that happened is his fault. It all started when he showed up. He was there at all the most humiliating moments! He looks at her like he’s been falsely accused. She continues that she was embarrassed at Kelvin’s house because of Cairo! And she was even called a stalker!

Holding his hands out like he’s saying ‘whoops,’ Cairo declares that it's not 100% his fault. If she were less…Natalie cuts him off. Again, not persuading, dude. How dare Cairo say that! Does he think she’s a pushover? She swings in his direction as she tells him to leave before things get ugly and she turns him into a dog! I laugh because Cairo reflexively grabs his nose. She makes like she’s going to kick him in the shins. Cairo jumps backward to avoid her foot. She stomps away muttering about how he’s getting on her nerves!

Natalie is walking down the street. Cairo’s now following her about 10 feet behind. Natalie arrives at her rendezvous with Zoe. She compliments Zoe on how great she looks. She does look really cute. Cairo walks up and starts talking to Zoe. He compliments Zoe, too. Zoe leans over and asks who the guy is. Natalie waves at him, annoyed, and says to ignore him. Cairo answers, telling Zoe his name and handing her his card. Natalie tells him to get lost, but Zoe sees dollar signs when she sees that Cairo is a plastic surgeon. Cairo asks if they’re meeting for drinks; he’ll buy. Zoe laughs and says that she and Natalie were going clubbing, actually.

This is news for Natalie. Clubbing? She whines that Zoe said she would buy tofu kimchi and rice wine. Cairo tells Natalie that rice wine sounds gloomy. He looks at Zoe and says that clubbing is best for improving your mood. Zoe smiles. Zoe holds up the bag she’s carrying and says that she brought Natalie some clothes. Cairo tells Zoe that she’s a great friend, with sense too. Zoe asks if Cairo wants to go with them? Natalie protests but Zoe ignores her. Cairo gratefully accepts. The pair start walking with Natalie protesting that she’ll never go clubbing with that jerk!

Next thing we see is Zoe dancing with a guy in a club. Natalie’s changed her clothes and is sitting, sulking at one of the tables. She’s drinking a lot. Cairo arrives and orders another drink. Can’t tell if it’s for him or for Natalie. Natalie’s slurring makes it obvious that she’s drunk now. She asks Cairo if he thinks that by acting like this that she’ll join him in his con. Cairo made her a criminal and stole her tofu kimchi! Cairo tells Natalie that he’s sorry. He misunderstood her and unintentionally hurt her. Natalie reflects on that.

Cairo adds that he’s suffered just as much as she has. Really? Heartbroken, humiliated, compared to?.. He had juice thrown on him, was hit by a beer bottle, so they should just call it even and make up! She shows that thought and gets up to leave. Cairo yells after her, asking where she’s going now. Maybe that drink was for him, because he sounds a little drunk, too. She yells at him to stop following her! She’s going to the restroom!

In the restroom, Natalie is massaging her temples, moaning that her head hurts. So that’s how her hair got messed up. Headache massage. Zoe arrives and asks where Natalie found the plastic surgeon. Natalie replies that it’s not what she’s thinking. He’s friends with that bastard, Kelvin. Zoe can’t believe that Cairo’s a friend of the guy who made her into a stalker. Why's Cairo with her? Natalie sighs and says that this is what she’s saying. What is she doing? She wants to go home.

Zoe stops Natalie from leaving the bathroom and tells her that this is her problem. They have a ton of Plan B's here. Why does Natalie think she suggested a club? Just because she lost a guy doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Zoe wanted Natalie to have a good time. Natalie asks if Zoe wants her to have a one-night stand. Zoe’s not suggesting that. She means Natalie should heal herself. Zoe drags Natalie out onto the dance floor.

Natalie’s having a great time getting her groove on, but whenever a guy starts dancing with her, she moves on. Zoe sees and groans. She starts to go grab Natalie when she encounters a guy grooving around *with sunglasses on.* I hate him already. He talks like Steve Martin's 'wild and crazy guy.' Guy asks how big her party is. Zoe says two and Guy says they have a party of two too. Zoe adds she’s with a really pretty girl. Who Cairo thinks needs to get plastic surgery. Sorry. A little snark going on. Guy likes that idea. He’s out with a rich friend. They can have a double date. Zoe agrees since her friend was feeling lonely.

Natalie is crazy dancing. Zoe comes to grab her and Natalie doesn’t want to go. Zoe drags her anyway. And guess who the rich friend is… Kelvin. Of course. Guy tells Kelvin that the girl is dying of loneliness. Hopefully they can tap those tonight! Yeah! Really hate Guy even more now. They make their way over to Zoe. Natalie hasn’t turned around and Kelvin starts dancing with her. Then they turn around. They stop dancing.

Guy’s surprised they know each other. Kelvin immediately gets on his high horse; does she really have to be like this?! Natalie yells back; does he think she came to see him? Kelvin asks if he’s supposed to believe that this is a coincidence. She came to a club for a one-night stand with some guy and it just “happened” to be him. Natalie can’t believe him. One-night stand? He was going to pick up a girl for some fun tonight? She’s now a criminal because of him! Zoe realises that this is the jerk. Kelvin tells Guy that this is the girl he told Guy about. Guy can’t believe the Stalker followed Kelvin here, too.

Everyone’s stopped dancing, because of the ruckus the four are making. Where’s Cairo? Zoe clarifies that Kelvin is the guy that charged Unni (Natalie) with stalking? Guy says that Natalie got her friend involved too! Zoe looks at Guy like she wants to punch him as he declares that they planned it all out. Zoe asks what Guys are talking about since he hit on her first. Finally Cairo has noticed the commotion.

Kelvin demands Natalie tell him the truth. Why did she come there? Zoe asks him if he’s deaf. Natalie became a criminal today and wants to forget about it. Kelvin doesn’t believe it. He was the target of course. Natalie asks if Kelvin is saying she can't go clubbing? He can have fun and she can't? She starts poking Kelvin as she yells that she just happened to run into him! It's no crime! Hello? Cairo?

Guy asks if Kelvin wants to call the cops. Zoe can’t believe Guy. The ink on the sentence hasn't even dried up yet! Cairo finally arrives, immediately wrapping his arm around Natalie’s shoulders and telling her that he looked all over for her. Then he asks Guy what he’s staring at. I love that his voice is daring Guy to keep doing it so Cairo can punch him. Kelvin can’t believe it. He looks a little pissed that Cairo has his arm around Natalie. Cairo looks at Kelvin like he’s surprised and asks when Kelvin got there. Kelvin starts to ask why they’re together when Cairo cuts him off and says, didn’t he tell Kelvin? He’s seeing Natalie.

Kelvin is shocked. He looks like you could knock him over with a feather right now. His mouth is hanging open. Cairo is smiling. Natalie is just looking at Kelvin. She slaps Cairo’s arm off her shoulder and walks off. Cairo tells a gaping Kelvin that they’ll talk more later and hurries after Natalie. Zoe gives them both a glare and leaves too. Kelvin almost falls over.

Natalie leaves the club. Cairo runs after her, asking if she’s just leaving. Does she just want to be made a fool of again? Not looking at him or stopping, she asks why he helps her, since he’s Kelvin's friend. Cairo replies that this is why he can help her to get her revenge. Natalie stops walking but doesn’t look at Cairo. Looking at her, Cairo says that he will make Kelvin fall for her. The moment Kelvin does, she can dump him the same way he did her. She turns to look at him, the heartbreak evident on her face. She asks if she’ll really be able to do that. Does she have that in her, to be cold like that? Cairo looks a bit uncomfortable as he tells her that she just needs to do as he says.

[ 5 hours ago ]

Cairo takes Natalie to a restaurant where she’s slurping down her ramen. He watches her eat with an expression like he’s trying to figure out if she’s okay or not. He asks if she’s coming. She frowns and says that meeting his parents is a bit much. Cairo asks if she loves him. Confusion from Natalie. He tells her that she doesn’t need to get on his parents’ good side when she doesn’t even love him. She can do whatever she wants. She starts to be swayed and then tells him to let her get sober first. Cairo looks at his watch and sighs. He mutters to himself about what a slob Natalie is (when she eats).

[ 3 hours ago ]

Natalie is wandering down the sidewalk with Cairo protesting after her that she can just go to the house. Natalie protests that she can't go empty handed!

[ 1 hour ago ]

Cairo is dragging Natalie towards his car. She’s protesting that she doesn’t want to go. She’s still wearing her club clothes. He opens the cars and she stops. She begs him to let her change her clothes. He tells her she looks perfect and shoves her in the car.

Switch to Natalie standing in front of the family with a big smile on her face. She bows deeply and greets them. Dad is smiling. Almost like a lecherous old man. Grandma is inwardly groaning and Mom’s mouth is hanging open. Cairo announces that this is his girlfriend. Mom tries to recover from her shock. She states that it's so early today… Natalie smiles. Cairo says that he spent all night persuading Natalie to come home with him. Which is the truth. He brought Natalie home before she changed her mind. Grandma asks if they were together all night?

Natalie smiles and apologizes for the short notice. Only the convenience store was open. She offers them the plastic bag she’s carrying. Dad smiles and thanks her for the present, taking it. He tells them to sit. Mom is not happy. They adjourn to the living room. Man, I would be embarrassed, even if I wasn’t dating the guy. Club clothes… Dad’s sitting across from Natalie, smiling to himself. Definitely looking like a dirty old man. Of course, Cairo doesn’t notice, but then, he’s not actually really dating Natalie.

Mom arrives carrying a throw blanket. She gives Dad a look and he clears his throat. He is a dirty old man. Natalie thanks Mom for the blanket and puts it over her legs, with Cairo helping, of course. She mutters that she'll feel drunk if she’s warm. Mom almost spills the tea she’s pouring. Cairo glances over at Mom and suppresses a smile. Grandma says that Natalie must have a high alcohol tolerance. Not that I’ve seen. Natalie answers that she does because her parents own a shop that sells liquor. Shocked faces, including Cairo’s.

Natalie turns to Mom and apologizes for not making it last time. Mom says she understands it wasn't an easy decision. They’re not sure of their relationship yet. Natalie smiles and thanks her for understanding. She turns to smile at Cairo, putting her hand on his leg, and says that they made it official not too long ago. They’re still getting used to each other, so they (the family) can just watch the relationship grow. Another suppressed smile from Cairo. I’m holding back mine, too. Natalie says that she doesn’t understand why people need to get the family's permission like this. Yes, the parents can pick who you'll spend the rest of your life with. But the ones taking responsibility for that prank are the ones getting married. Mom loudly puts her cup down into its saucer. Another stifled smile.

Grandma asks if Natalie is saying that she and Cairo don’t want them to get involved. Natalie enthusiastically nods. Mom is not happy. Natalie says that they’ll love each other and fight like crazy. Glance at Cairo who looks all lovey dovey at her. Oh boy. Natalie adds that when they're sure they want to be together, then they’ll come again for official permission. Cairo turns his head away from everyone because he’s having a hard time controlling his smile. Natalie asks if the family could please wait until then.

Natalie picks up her tea and saucer and takes a sip, with Cairo helping her hold the saucer like a doting boyfriend. He glances at his family. Dad’s got a smile on. Mom still does not. It’s like she’s thinking that Cairo is doing this to punish her. Cairo asks if the tea is good. Natalie says that it’s warm; it's really helping her hangover. Dad smiles again and Grandma tries not to smile. Mom still isn’t smiling. Cairo smiles and playfully bumps Natalie with his shoulder.

Mom asks Natalie whether she thinks she should know about Cairo’s family. He’s the only son for 3 generations (you know). Natalie’s stopped smiling and has started blinking heavily as Mom says that their family is not extremely conservative but they have their own ways. Natalie would probably have to change her lifestyle. It just looks like Grandma rolled her eyes. She should keep that in mind in her relationship with Cairo.

There’s snoring. Natalie has fallen asleep – I had a feeling it was coming when she started blinking like that – and fell forward onto Mom’s shoulder. Everyone is surprised. Cairo starts coughing into his hand to keep from laughing out loud. He puts his head down and keeps his hand over his mouth. Natalie reaches up to wrap her arm around Mom. Mom, without looking at Natalie, reaches up and pulls Natalie’s arm off of her. Then she shoves Natalie off of her, by pushing Natalie backward with a hand to her forehead. Heh. Mom continues to just look straight ahead.

Cairo pretends to be attentive. Natalie kicks her legs out so that they’re laying across his lap. He reaches down to make sure the blanket is still covering Natalie’s legs. Aunt arrives, with Grandma cringing. Aunt greets Cairo happily and then asks who the girl is. Cairo tries to pat Natalie on the face to wake her, but she is out.

Later, Natalie and Cairo are leaving the house. The family sees them out. Natalie bows deeply and apologizes for falling asleep. It’s obvious that she feels terrible. Dad thanks her for feeling so comfortable around them. Cairo isn’t sure how he feels about that. Natalie smiles thankfully and Mom glares over at Dad. Aunt starts to say that she’s sorry she missed it but catches herself and changes to say that she didn't get to talk too much to Natalie. Grandma tells Natalie to come again; they can have rice wine together. Natalie claps her hands together and declares that she’d love to. Her pancakes are the best! Grandma likes her, I can tell. Mom is still not smiling. She tells Natalie to have a safe trip back. Natalie apologizes again and bows.

Cairo loads Natalie into the car. As he gets in, Natalie tells the family that they’ll get going. She waves brightly. Grandma waves vigorously back as the car drives away. Aunt grabs Grandma and tells her to stop waving. Mom watches the car leaving, still not happy. She goes in first.

As they drive away, Natalie sighs. She feels bad about lying to them. Cairo tells her that she was an expert at it; the lies just came out so smoothly! Natalie replies that she was only saying what she honestly thinks. Natalie mutters that this is bad, though. They became too comfortable with each other the first time they met. What if the family really wants them to get married? Cairo replies that Natalie doesn’t need to worry about that; she doesn't know his mom. Natalie replies that she’s most worried about Mom. She was generous the whole time. Cairo declares that Mom wasn’t being nice, she was training Natalie.

Grandma grabs a caffeine drink. Mom approaches and tells Grandma that she’ll take the drink. It's full of caffeine. The implication is that Grandma shouldn’t be drinking it. Grandma protests that it's okay once in a while. Mom replies – her voice is always so non-threatening. How does she do that? – that Grandma won’t be able to sleep tonight. She’ll make Grandma some plum tea instead. Grandma sighs and hands over the drink, with a frown.

Mom picks up the box of energy drinks and as she’s leaving the living room, Grandma announces that she approves. She likes Natalie. This gets Mom to pause. Grandma adds that she’s sure that Mom is against her. Grandma asks Dad what he thinks. Dad chuckles and says that his opinion wouldn't matter much. Grandma frowns as he says that he always respects and follows his wife's opinion. Aunt makes a face like he’s full of it. Mom tells Dad that he really doesn’t care about such things. Dad goes back to his newspaper. There is something definitely off in their relationship.

Aunt declares that Cairo seems to like Natalie. She adds that Natalie is Dad’s type. He clears his throat and looks more deeply at the paper as Aunt giggles. She stops giggling when she looks at Mom. Aunt immediately declares that she’s against Natalie. She hates girls that are prettier than she is. Dad clears his throat again and gets up and leaves the room. Grandma says that Cairo came home thanks to Natalie. It's been 3 long years. It's the first time Cairo ever brought a girl home. She proposes they give the couple some time since that's what the couple wants.

There’s a pause as Mom stands and looks at the back of Grandma’s head. Grandma tells Mom to say something. Mom replies that Natalie said she doesn't need their permission. Mom leaves the living room. With her voice lowered, Aunt asks Grandma if she really likes Natalie. Aunt declares that age has really softened Grandma. Grandma says that above everything, Natalie’s funny. Plus, she shook up Mom. Grandma giggles.

Mom is getting Grandma that plum tea she promised. She stops and declares that it's so weird. This isn't the Cairo she knows. Driving, Cairo declares that Mom won't kick Natalie out, but she won't accept Natalie either. Natalie nods. Mom’s ambiguous. Cairo says that Mom will take as much as she can get and make you leave when you're sick and tired. Mom maintains her angelic image without having to hurt anyone herself. That's how she deals with people. Cairo declares that it's… people management.

Natalie looks at Cairo and asks about people management. Isn't that about dating? Cairo says that dating is about personal relationships, too. Natalie should learn from Mom. They arrive. Cairo tells Natalie to get out. When she asks, “Why?” he declares that it’s for revenge. How ominous sounding! Next thing we see is Cairo drawing on Natalie’s face. She asks what he’s doing. He replies that men are sensitive to visual changes. He puts down his pen and spins her chair around so they can look at her in the mirror. She seriously looks like a cat right now.

Cairo declares that her breasts could use another 200cc in size. Natalie smacks her hands across her chest. He adds that she could use thigh liposuction and Botox for the arms. She shoves his hand away and tells him not to touch her. Love that she likes herself just the way she is.

Make over montage! Natalie comes out dancing and Cairo says that she needs to appeal to *guys.* She runs back into the dressing room to change. Next outfit, I think is really cute, even if it is strapless. Cairo takes a quick look as Natalie blows a kiss in his direction and declares that she shouldn’t be so obvious. She should be subtle. He goes back to his magazine. Her next selection, he doesn’t even look at. He snaps his finger and sips his coffee. The girl hands over the clothes Cairo has picked out. Natalie takes them. Her face looks like she wants to slug Cairo.

Natalie awkwardly exits the dressing room. Cairo has a small moment where his eyes pop out of his head. Natalie smiles and he quickly recovers to frown again. He hands over his card and tells the salesgirl to charge it. Natalie immediately starts to protest him paying. She takes his card from the salesgirl and hands it back to him.

Zoe walks by and sees them. She sounds upset when she says, “Unni!” They glance in her direction. Cairo stands up and whispers to Natalie that they have to act like a couple. Mom is meticulous. Natalie whispers back, asking about her revenge. He whispers that they have to do it, especially for her revenge. Besides, she’s worth every penny. Natalie laughs and starts smiling at Zoe. So does Cairo. She waves and says hello.

Natalie is now walking down the street, confident, flipping her hair like she’s a supermodel. She heads to Bon Cafe (Kelvin’s place). Rocco sees her as she’s looking around and comes over wearing a smile. Natalie’s about to not talk to him, when Cairo’s voice tells her that players are terrible flirts, 24/7. She looks back at Rocco and smiles. He tells her, “Hi again.” She orders a grapefruit juice. Cairo tells her to think of all men as potential boyfriends. Natalie stands there and smiles.

Rocco looks at her outfit and asks why Natalie looks so much prettier today. Mixed reactions from the other wait staff. Natalie laughs, flattered. Cairo’s voice tells her not to be fooled by it. She shouldn’t flutter because of the opponent's compliments. She stops smiling. She nods and declares that she changed her style a bit. She tells him that he should try a change, too, since he has a nice build. Cairo’s voice tells her not to be generous with her compliments. Rocco asks Natalie if she’ll pick out an outfit for him someday. She works at a department store, right? I can’t believe they’re flirting by talking about buying him clothes. Cairo’s voice tells her to use the key phrase now. Natalie smiles and tells Rocco, “Sure.” He should call her. She hands over her business card. Cairo’s voice adds, “Sometime,” so Natalie adds, “Sometime,” to her invitation.

The grapefruit juice arrives as Kelvin does. He sees Natalie from the back and thinks that this is some new, hot customer. He peers over his sunglasses at her and nods with approval. Rocco tells Natalie that the drink is on him. Cairo’s voice says that being polite is for her benefit, not others. Natalie smiles sweetly at Rocco. From behind them, Kelvin pulls off his sunglasses and declares that he’ll buy the drink. He owns the place, after all. He starts to tell her that she looks familiar when she turns around to glare at him. Shocked Kelvin face.

Kelvin starts doing little karate chops in Natalie’s direction as he asks what she wants. The staff laughed at him. She holds up the juice and says she was there for that. She turns around and, putting a hand on Rocco’s arm, nods a goodbye and walks out of the restaurant. Rocco sighs. Kelvin looks from Rocco to Natalie and then chases after her.

Kelvin asks Natalie if she came all that way for just a cup of juice. Without stopping or looking at him, she asks if that's something she would do. He demands to know what she’s up to. Cairo drives up. Natalie gets in the car and puts on her seatbelt. Cairo waves and they drive off, leaving a speechless Kelvin.

After a minute, Natalie stops pretending to be indifferent. She breaks out into a big grin and asks Cairo if he saw Kelvin’s expression. She declares that the part-timer was falling for her, too. She must be born with it. Cairo tells her not to overact. It's just the start now. Natalie can’t help but beam and giggle to herself. Cairo takes a sip of his grapefruit juice and asks Natalie what she wants for dinner. She declares that she’s good. She'll get off at the subway station.

Cairo declares that they haven't dated very long. Pasta will do. Natalie asks why he’s being so considerate. Cairo scoffs at the notion that he might like Natalie, too. He tells her not to get carried away. Aunt is behind them. Natalie immediately turns around to look. Cairo hisses at her not to. She can’t believe his family stalks him. He snarks that it's a family full of love. Heh.

Aunt is driving with a scarf on her head. She blows at it, not taking her hands off the wheel, and mutters that she’s so hot. Cairo starts changing lanes to give Aunt a hard time.
