28 Hotel Rooms Page #4

Did you?

What?

This... No?

I got coffee... I got, uh,

French roast, whole milk.

I don't drink coffee

anymore.

My stomach.

I didn't think

I'd ever see you again.

I don't think I can stay.

I don't want to stay.

I shouldn't have

married him.

This room is small.

I want make it work

for my daughter.

The color.

My parents had a...

Makes it look smaller.

A horrible divorce.

I'm not gonna do that to her.

I can't do that to her.

What's her name?

Emma.

That's nice.

That's nice.

Hey. Hey. It's me.

Um...

Look, I know we...

we have...

I know we haven't talked, but I

just want you to know I'm really...

I'm thinking about you,

and I... I'm... I'm...

I know you didn't,

you know...

I know this isn't what we were planning,

and I just want to talk to you.

I think I'm... I think I'm

really ready to just...

just, you know,

be friends with you, or...

or just I want you in my life

in some shape or form, so I...

I want to talk to you more

about everything.

So just give me a call

if-if... when you can.

Okay. Don't... Don't forget

to erase this message.

I'll see you later.

Surprise.

What are you doing here?

I was at the reading.

You were?

Mm-hmm.

I didn't see you there.

Yeah, I know. I was hiding.

I was at the back.

Can I come in?

Oh, yeah. Please, come

in, come in, come in.

We moved.

I'm in Portland, Maine now.

Can't believe it. She wanted

to get out of the city,

and I was bitching and

moaning, but now I'm happy.

We got a great garden,

and, uh... Yeah.

Stop calling me.

You got my messages?

Yeah. Stop calling me.

Stop calling me.

Stop calling me.

Stop calling me.

I know. I miss you too.

That's... It's just...

Two more cities

and I'm home, okay?

So don't freak out

before I get there.

Okay. Go to sleep.

I gotta... I gotta rest.

I gotta wake up and do it

all again in the morning.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Okay. Good night.

When Emma came out...

When we were in the hospital,

I saw all these roses.

On her head. All over.

Like... Like hair...

But-But roses. I was

like, "Oh, my God. Look.

She's so amazing. She

has roses on her head."

It was blood.

I was severely medicated.

I'm an English teacher.

Really?

Yeah. I took a...

I took a job at a college.

I...

I actually like it.

I actually...

I'm actually pretty good at it.

I bet you are.

And I leave there,

and I feel...

at peace.

Is Emma's dad... Is-Is...

Is he good... good...

good dad?

She doesn't want kids.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. The...

The plane was f***ing delayed.

I'm sorry.

Mmm.

Hi.

Mmm. Hi.

Mmm. Oh.

You need to brush your teeth.

Okay.

Did you get my text?

Mm-mmm.

You didn't get it?

I fell asleep.

I mean, we get on the plane,

and we wait

for about an hour.

Then we have to get off. And they sat me

in between these two enormous people,

and they're eating f***ing Chinese

food the whole time, and...

Do I smell like Chinese food?

Hey.

Sex.

Best sex of your life,

right now, right here.

I'm gonna do it anyway. Is that okay?

I'll be quick.

I'm taking as much work

as I can home now, but...

Yeah.

Now she's not napping, so...

You know, you pay someone else to raise

your kid, or you do it yourself,

but it's like when I'm home I

feel like I should be at work,

and then when I'm at work, I

feel like I should be at home.

I'm just tired all the time.

I bet.

You forgive me?

Yeah, I forgive you.

For what? Sleeping?

You were tired.

Of course I forgive you.

Are you writing?

It'll come.

It will come.

What time's your flight?

What time is it?

I gotta go in 10 minutes.

No. You're kidding.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry.

I totally ruined it. Oh, don't apologize.

It's fine.

No, it's not. You didn't come all this

way just for some $40 orange juice.

I came all this way 'cause I

like to sleep next to you.

I love those bony hips.

I'm the one

that should be apologizing...

'cause I entered you last night

without your permission.

- Oh, you did?

- Did you feel me enter...

Was that what that was?

Because I felt something.

You felt something?

Like-Like... Like what?

An earthquake?

No. No, I thought... It was like

a mosquito bite or something.

Did you say mosquito?

Is that a dick joke?

Don't you have to pack

or something?

You all ready to go?

Want me to call you a cab?

How does my penis

compare to your husband's?

What'd you guys do

for dinner?

Again? No, no, no.

It's okay.

Wait, is that Emma crying?

Yeah, I hear that.

What happened?

You did not.

No, it's not funny at all.

Put her on.

Hi, honey.

Are you okay?

He's not hiding in the closet.

I promise.

He's not gonna break into

your room at night. I'm sure.

Because he's not a terrorist.

He's a linguist.

He's a very nice man.

And... Okay.

All right.

Can I talk to Daddy?

Don't tell her that Noam Chomsky

is hiding in the closet, okay?

Okay.

No, no, no. That's fine.

All right. I'll call you

tomorrow when I land.

I love you too.

Bye.

Yeah.

Hey. Hey. You got my message

about changing rooms.

Yeah. Listen, listen, um...

Where's your luggage?

I can't stay. I have, like, five minutes.

I can't, um...

Uh...

He's here.

Who's here? My husband.

He's... He's here.

He wanted to come. It was like a

last-minute thing. He just said,

"You know, just, uh, come with you

as, like, a romantic little...

like, 'without Emma' getaway

right after the conference,"

so I'm gonna have the conference

tomorrow, and then we're, uh...

we're vacationing here

in... in this hotel.

So he's here right now.

Okay.

Say something.

Let's tell him the truth.

I... I-I...

I mean, this is a great opportunity.

Let's just go down... What room?

- I can't do that right now.

- I'm gonna do it with you. I'm gonna help you.

No, I... We're gonna go

down there together,

and we're gonna tell him the truth.

I can't...

I'll do it with you. What room are you in?

I can't. I'm telling you.

I can't do this right now.

I can't leave him right now.

Please.

Can we talk about this? I want

to talk about this with you...

This is so stupid. This is so stupid.

I can't do this right now.

I can't do this right now. Yeah. I know.

You can't do this right now.

What are you... Don't do this.

What are you doing?

Stupid.

Okay? I just... I can't...

Get the hotels.

I want to be with you.

Right, I get the hotels. I get the hotels.

I get you for a day.

I get you for two days. If I'm

lucky, I get you for three days.

You knew this is how

it was gonna be.

I'm so f***in' tired of not

having you when I want you.

If I want to have you,

I want to have you.

I'm not... I don't want

to share you anymore.

I'm not leaving him.

I thought you knew that.

Do me a favor

and don't send me, uh,

any more text messages

or voice mails.

Don't tell me how much you love me and

how much you miss me and want to see me.

Just don't do that anymore. That's what you want?

That's really what you want?

Yeah.

Go ahead. Get out.
