INT. METROCOURT - RESTAURANT - EARLY EVENING

Sam walks off the elevator and Alexis waves her over to their table.

ALEXIS

You're late.

SAM

What?! No I'm not.

ALEXIS

You on time if you're early. You're late if you're on time.

SAM

She's not even here yet.

ALEXIS

That's not the point. She's a big fish.

SAM

I'm aware, which is why I took the liberty of ordering a car to pick her up at her hotel.

ALEXIS

You know where she's staying?

SAM

Where she's staying, when her flight arrived and even what she ordered last night for room service.

Alexis leans back.

SAM

I'm a P.I, mom. If I have to impress her as much as she has to impress us, that's what I'll do.

Alexis smiles with approval. The elevator opens to Gia. She steps out and scans the room. A waiter looks at Sam and Sam nods to him. He walks over to Gia.

WAITER

Ms. Campbell?

GIA

Yes?

WAITER

Right this way. Ms Mccall and Ms. Davis are expecting you.

Gia follows him and guides them to a secluded table to the side. Sam and Alexis stand up as she approaches.

GIA

Well this is a welcomed surprise.

ALEXIS

How are you my dear?

Gia and Alexis embrace.

GIA

It's so nice to see you.

ALEXIS

Same here, it's been a while. I hear you have a daughter now!

GIA

I do. She's sixteen.

ALEXIS

You have all my sympathy.

GIA

I can definitely use it.

Sam extends her hand.

SAM

Hi, I'm Samantha McCall. But please call me Sam.

GIA

Sam, it's nice to meet you.

SAM

Have a seat.

Gia sits down between Alexis and Sam.

GIA

Thank you for the car you sent but that wasn't necessary.

SAM

It's my pleasure. I hope you don't mind but I also ordered your drink.
