42 Seconds of Happiness Page #5

and she was grateful to have the time and attention.

[Vineke] What interaction have you had,

[Tomas] Shut the f*** up,

you personally had with him?

[Tomas] They can all hear you inside, okay?

[Ike] It has nothing to do with him.

Of course, it apparently does!

Would you guys f***ing relax,

okay, they can hear you f***ing inside.

It's exactly what she f***ing wants.

[Vineke] I don't care.

[Felice] Wow, you're really making her to be

some sort of extraordinary villain

that structured this whole thing.

How would you...

[Ike] She did.

[Maria] I invited her.

I invited her.

[Vineke] But how dare she do that to you?

- Yeah, bad f***ing idea.

- [Ike] Yeah, you invited her.

It is selfish. I am...

[Maria] It was the invitation we sent out.

There was a plus one on it.

I didn't even think.

[Cybil] Who would have?

[Ike] She can't, she can't hide under that,

like, f***ing hospitality bullshit. She...

[Maria] It's done.

You know what we do? We...

[Maria] Tomas...

Do you know how difficult that is gonna make tomorrow?

It is gonna make tomorrow impossible.

[Maria] No, you guys don't know.

No, we'll get rid of him in the morning.

First thing, we'll kick him out.

[Ike] I mean, if that's what she did,

she is not...

[Felice] You say it like she did something so horrible,

[Vineke] You know what?

[Felice] like she committed some crime.

[Ike] She brought, are you, I am, that is...

[Vineke] She actually did.

She broke the law, basically.

Excuse me?

[Maria] That is not what tomorrow is about.

No, tomorrow is about...

No, no, no, no.

No, let's back up.

What f***ing law did she break?

[Ike] She committed adultery.

- Thank you.

- That's, that's the law.

[Felice] After she was separated. What law...

- [Ike] No.

- No. No.

Did she break?

I'm sorry, what biblical world are you living in,

- that she broke a law?

- Not after she was separated.

She was f***ing him long before they were separated.

Why does this hurt you so badly?

[Ike] F***ing stoke the burning flames.

Gee, thought you were my friend.

[Ike] She does not need any more excuse to f***ing...

(Door slams)

(Felice and Ike shout)

(Laughter)

[Ike] This is funny!

This is great!

It's like I'm not right there with her,

It's not, I'm, you know, I'm not there,

then has to wake up after three hours of sleep,

and go work all day.

That's not me.

I am doing nothing, nothing wrong.

I didn't say that.

- I am contributing nothing.

- I didn't say that.

I didn't say that.

Maybe your guilt is talking,

but I didn't say that.

[Ike] Oh, my guilt?

I think you put the guilt on me. Please.

[Felice] Did anybody hear me say that?

Um, didn't you call me not a good parent,

because I don't check every 15 minutes?

That's not what I said.

Wait for your guilt to talk.

[Ben] Wait, how long have you guys been married?

Eight years.

How long did you guys know each other before that?

[Felice] A year.

[Ben] A year.

Yeah.

[Ike] Mm-hm.

- [Ben] When, I was just...

- But you know what?

We're gonna sleep in the same bed together,

then we're gonna wake up,

I'm gonna bring her coffee,

and you know what?

She's gonna kiss me good morning,

and everything is gonna be great.

That's how it works.

Tell them.

[Ike] That's how it works, Ben.

Tell them that thing your dad says.

[Ben] What about my dad?

Tell them what your dad says.

[Ben] Oh, no, about his marriage thing?

Come on.

[Cybil] Tell them.

[Ben] Dad...

I'm, okay, well, I'm about to turn 28.

They have been together 27 years.

No, that doesn't make sense.

Well, yes.

They've been together a long time.

I mean, it's a long time,

how do you do it, right?

So I asked them that.

And you know, he said,

he said, "The first seven years are great."

Go team.

[Ike] That's why we pop round two.

"The next seven years are pure Hell,

"and after you get past that second seven years,

"you're so thankful that the Hell has passed,

"that, I mean, it couldn't get any worse, right?

"So you stay together,

"'Cause, I mean, it couldn't get any worse, right?"

More wine?

(Water splashing)

Mm.

Take this off.

(Gasping)

Come back here.

Oh, wait.

Morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Breakfast?

Yeah. After you.

[Felice] Did you hear what I said?

A hurricane, that its'...

They're closing the parks at five.

And they're closing the bridges at seven.

All right, we're not going to get into that,

that you're...

'Kay.

That I'm what?

That I'm not a good father.

[Felice] I didn't, I'm not, I didn't say that.

You can do this.

Is he gonna be okay?

I don't know.

I'm fine, is she...

[Alis] Come here.

Uwe and Rosie just bailed.

I will cook.

You can't cook.

Don't make that face at me.

Anger only reflects anger.

- If anyone's angry...

- [Maria] Everybody's angry.

If anyone's angry, they're just gonna be angry back.

So we have to take the high road,

and try not to be angry.

It's just a beautiful morning.

[Cybil] Places, places, places.

[Maria] All right, we all know what we're doing, right?

Everybody's waiting for me.

[All] Good morning.

[Maria] We're glad you're here.

- [Woman] Good morning.

- So, coffee?

[Woman] Want something, want some coffee?

What do you want in your coffee?

Just black is fine.

- Morning, hello.

- Alis, hi.

Thanks for coming.

Okay, come on in.

So, Marc, can you do me a favor?

[Marc] Yeah.

I think Ben probably needs some help out by the pool.

Oh.

[Maria] But could you...

I'll just have some,

let me sit down and have some breakfast.

You know what, he sort of needs some help right now,

so if you grab one, I promise I'll get you sitting down,

[Marc] It can wait five minutes.

I'll make you some eggs later.

[Marc] What's the problem?

[Maria] Actually, it can't right now.

[Vineke] Ben's waiting.

Yeah, he's waiting.

[Ike] What do you want? Croissant, muffin...

Thank you.

- [Marc] What's going on?

- I have no idea.

[Maria] It's okay.

I'll take good care of her,

I promise I'll give her back in just a minute.

I just need some, Ben needs some help.

You know, I'd like for us to eat breakfast together.

You know what, I'm sorry.

I certainly don't mean to be rude, so thank you.

You don't mean to be rude?

[Maria] I know, I know, it's me, it's all me.

Are these organic?

I only do organic.

Sure. Yeah.

I saw you last eating, remember?

[Tomas] You okay?

I'm just gonna grab something and go upstairs.

[Maria] No, I would like for you

to stay for a few minutes.

- [Woman] Alis, coffee?

- No.

What's with all the cards and nonsense?

Why is everyone acting like this is a funeral?

What is this?

[Maria] Everyone sit down, please.

[Alis] What is this? What is this?

[Maria] This is an intervention.

[Tomas] I'm gonna have an aspirin.

Lead by example.

[Alis] Are you serious right now?

[Maria] Yeah, I'm serious.

This is my idea, so bear with me...

Can we just have breakfast?

Did you know about this?

No, I didn't know about this.

Well, not like I believe anything

- you say these days anyway, so.
