Ghosts of the past

[Andre Lemaire]

Hello? Is this Mr. Klein? My name is Andre, I'm Jules' father.

Would Lorelei like to come with us to the park today?

[Kent Klein]

/floored for a moment

Andre? Andre as in Andre Lemaire?

[Andre Lemaire]

Oh! Yes, yes it is. I'm sorry to bother you, calling you up all of a sudden like this.

[Kent Klein]

You don't recognize my voice, do you?

[Andre Lemaire]

I--no, I don't, I'm so sorry. Have we met before?

[Kent Klein]

Yeah! Back in school! It's Kent~!

[Andre Lemaire]

...

(silence for a loooooong while)

Kent?

[Kent Klein]

...I can't tell if you really can't remember me or if you're in shock.

[Andre Lemaire]

The-the second one. Is it really you?

[Kent Klein]

Yeah, didn't you know when you...  Oh wait.

You're calling about Lala's friend? Jules?

You're...

You're a dad?

[Andre Lemaire]

I-I only got your last name from the school and--

Oh. Oh, yes, I'm a... father. But so are you! Right?

[Kent Klein]

Yeah. Yeah, I am! Lala--uh--*cough* Lorelai's my daughter. Pretty crazy, right?

[Andre Lemaire]

*laughs a little delirously* It is. It's... crazy. Jules and Lala are friends in school and we... we're their fathers.

I didn't think I would ever see you again, after you moved away.

[Kent Klein]

/clears throat

So! How are you? How's everything going?

[Andre Lemaire]

Ah--hm. Good! Everything is... is good. *awkward* How are you? Who's--How's... your wife?
