She gestures at his current get-up.

Don’t.

Where’s your suit—

But before she can ask, DAPHNA sees JONAH’s suit, balled up. She wants to tell him to take better care of it, but decides not to. She admires it, then hangs it up.

I love that your Mom got you a new suit for Poppy’s funeral before he even died.

JONAH

He was sick a long time.

DAPHNA

Mmm, not really, actually. But still, like, in your Mom’s checklist of shit to get done while he was dying it was like, don’t forget, Jonah’s gonna need a new suit for when it happens. It’s great.

Give me your shirt. I’ll hang it up, you can wear it tomorrow it’s not dirty give it to—

JONAH

No. I want to wear it.

DAPHNA

Suit yourself.

DAPHNA watches JONAH playing video games. He senses her watching him.

JONAH

What?

DAPHNA

Nothing.

She can’t help herself.

It’s just, like, in so many cultures, like, I know so many guys AND girls your age who’ve been fighting for years. Gilad’s been in the army five years and he’s just two years older than you, but here you are, not a care in the world, in your boxers, in an apartment your parents bought you! I still can’t get over the fact your parents bought you and Liam this apartment.

JONAH

It’s just a studio.

DAPHNA

It’s just a studio he says. Do you see the view? Have you seen the view from the bathroom? That’s the Hudson River.

JONAH

I know.

DAPHNA

An apartment with a view like that, studio or no studio, on Riverside Drive, on 84th Street, I can’t even imagine what it cost.

JONAH

It wasn’t too bad.

DAPHNA

What’s not too bad, like a million dollars?

JONAH

I don’t know.

DAPHNA

Holy shit. So what, they were just like, here boys, have an apartment, mwah!?

JONAH

No, but Mom turned Liam’s room into an office, so—

DAPHNA

Yeah that’ll happen—

JONAH

So we only had my bedroom for guests or if Liam came home or, you know, there was a while they thought Poppy might move in—

DAPHNA

Are you kidding? Poppy was never moving in here—

JONAH

They didn’t know for sure—

DAPHNA

Never. He was never moving in, that was never happening. Never.

JONAH

Ok but—

DAPHNA

My parents wanted him to move in with them but he said he would never do that, he was so insistent he didn’t want to be a burden on—

JONAH

Ok! But they weren’t sure and—

DAPHNA

No, they knew—

JONAH

then this apartment was for sale and it’s in the building, it’s on their floor, so they got it. I don’t see what the big deal is?

DAPHNA

Must be nice, that’s all I’m saying.

JONAH

You’re staying here.

DAPHNA

Right …

JONAH

So I guess it’s good they bought it.

DAPHNA

Um, in normal families, Jonah, if people need a place to sleep, they like sleep on the couch, or double up in beds, or even— and this will really shock you— sleep in sleeping bags. They don’t buy a spare apartment on the off-chance someone might need to spend the night.
