Fortunately for all of us, Nate's cell phone rings. Late Nate tells him to take it: "I've got time." Nate answers his phone to find his wife at the other end. "What are you doing?" Brenda asks. Nate says that he's still at work, and asks if everything's okay. "How's the baby?" he asks. Opening a bottle of wine, for some reason, Brenda snarks, "I haven't lost it since this morning, if that's what you're asking." Even Late Nate makes a pained/amused face at that as Live Nate backpedals. Brenda asks Live Nate to stop at Whole Foods (or, as I like to call it, Whole Paycheck, because have you seen the prices at that place? It's cheaper to eat out. In Paris) and pick up something for Maya, and also to make sure that he calls her from there in case she's forgotten anything. Nate agrees, and then asks if he's going to come home to a big fight. Brenda lightly says no, and they say goodbye. You'd think that little reminder of what it used to be like to be married to Lisa would cheer Nate up a little, but he's pretty uncheerable. When he hangs up, Late Nate's gone. Guess he didn't have much time after all. I like it when Late Nate shows up; I just wish that Nate's version of him wasn't such a nasty old prick.
