A Good Marriage Page #3

---

If there was some way that

we could, you know, just...

Turn the page.

Well, if I don't...

I suppose that I

become Beadie's next.

Oh Darcy come on.

Honey, this is not some, some

movie where the psycho husband

Chases the screaming

wife around the house.

I would never let

beadie hurt you.

You know that, don't you?

Anyway...

Even if you were to

turn me in,

I wouldn't lift a finger.

But...

But?

You have to think

about the kids.

And you have to think

about yourself, Darcy.

Honey, you have to

think about yourself!

Who is going to believe that

you lived with me for all

These years and

you didn't know?

- I didn't...

- Didn't even suspect.

I didn't, I didn't,

I didn't, not once.

You know, and then you would

have to move, and the Anderson

Coin and collectable company

would be blackballed, I can

Promise you that.

And, you know, then

there's the kids.

They have to live with the shame

and the humiliation and...

Stop it, stop it,

don't say that!

Don't talk about them when you

talk about this!

Don't ever, just don't do it!

Okay, okay.

Can we, can we, look. Can we just put it

behind us, honey?

Oh god.

I don't know.

Hm?

Okay.

Just let me think

about it bob.

Let me think about it.

Sure, sure.

It's okay I, I...

I understand.

I'm really tired.

It was a long drive.

It was exhausting.

Could you turn out

the light honey, huh?

Would you mind?

Mm.

Stupid b*tch!

Did you really think I

was going to let you live?

Did you really think I was

going to let you live, huh?

Did you really think that

I was gonna let you live?

Did you?

Huh?

Huh?

Bob?

Bob?

Bob?

I didn't kill those women.

Not really.

It was another person inside my head.

Bob?

I just thought, I'll do it, once.

Get it out of my head.

If I get caught, I get caught.

At least I won't have to think about it,

Wonder what it'd be like.

Darcy!

Darcy, I'm home!

Darc...

Pizza.

I didn't feel like cooking.

Yeah, but what about

your acid reflux?

I took a Zantac.

Okay.

Well, since we're gonna be

bad, uh, what do you say we

Have a little wine?

I'll take that as a yes.

- I'll have another.

- Wow, you took a couple of Zantacs didn't you?

That's the one you left

upstairs on the little table.

Did I?

Hm.

Must've forgot that

I had it in my hand.

I was going to cut myself an

apple, but I, I forgot the

Apple too.

You know what it's like

when you get tired.

You forget stuff.

Hm, it's mushroom.

- You have to promise me.

- What?

You have to promise me

that you're going to stop.

Yes honey, whatever you say.

The most solemn...

"Never go back on it" promise.

I do. I told you that yesterday.

And we could never

talk about this again.

I get that.

And you're not to send...

The duvall woman's

id to the police.

I need more than

promises, bobby.

You dig a hole in the woods

somewhere, and you bury that

Woman's id in it.

If I do that...

Heh.

Are we good?

Of course we are.

- You're good. - I am.

- You're going to stay that way, aren't you?

- I am.

- Mhmm.

Good, that's settled.

Go ahead and eat your pizza then.

Mm.

O-Oh, my god!

That's hot!

Don't take such big bites and

you won't burn your mouth.

Mother knows best.

Mm, oh!

Mm.

And mom, I'm still

waiting on 20 RSVPs.

And, and they're

all his relatives!

And he says that they're

coming, but how am I supposed

To know that?

Why wouldn't they RSVP? Relax honey.

Take a deep breath. The wedding

is still weeks away, okay?

Mom, I think it would've been

easier if we had just eloped.

Now that would've

broken my heart.

And your dad's, of course.

How is the old fella?

Oh, you know dad.

He's upright and

sniffing the air.

Hey, have you talked to Donnie? Are you

sure that he's cleared his schedule, because, um,

he's become this damn

success story and, just...

Pets, your brother will

be there with bells on.

And if he's not,

your dad will...

Kill him? God, I hope so.

Something like that.

Alright, I love you mom.

I love you too.

And um, stop obsessing?

Alright, I'll try.

That's a plea.

Okay.

Thanks mom.

Bye.

...our champion, sable.

Sable, and where

are you from?

Sable's from Harlem!

Isn't that wonderful?

Any luck finding the

great lost penny?

No, not yet.

But you know, all good things

come to those who wait.

This is nice.

Yeah.

It's...

How long has it been

since we've had a... a girl-Girl afternoon?

Oh, I don't know,

a couple of months?

I guess?

Mm.

That's right, because

you and bob are so tight.

Yeah.

I don't know how

you do it, darc. Honestly.

Yeah, neither do I.

Mm.

Oh, he's on the road, yeah?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

He's just in Portsmouth.

Um, some little stationary

company got their taxes all

Snarled up, you know, and, and

there's a coin show tomorrow

And, but, you know,

he'll be back tomorrow.

Oh, with him, it's

always a coin show.

- I know, I know.

- Does he actually have any other hobbies?

- Just let me clear these for you here. - No, I'm not finished.

- That's, that's alright. - I'm not done!

- Sorry.

- Right.

Darc?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, you know

it's just the wedding.

Petra keeps calling every

night, and every night there

Seems to be a new

problem and...

Sh*t just rolls

downhill and...

That's it, that's it.

Yeah.

Exactly.

And uh, you know I just...

I worry when

bob's on the road.

You know, when he's away.

How about dessert?

Enough.

You're right bob.

I can do it.

...friends have no knowledge

of the missing funds.

In other news, a Portsmouth

woman was found murdered in

Her apartment

late this morning.

Mikaela Blake, age 42,

had been shot three times.

Police have taken Mrs. Blake's

common-Law husband into

Custody, and sources close

to the investigation say he's confessed.

Of course, if the next one is

Beadie's,

She belongs to you, Darcy.

There's a fix-It muffler four

blocks down on Rayburn avenue.

Maybe you missed it, huh? You only

go past it every day when you go to work.

Yeah, well, you know.

They fix the problem, charge

you three times what it's

Worth, and then point

out six other things.

And then, uh, some big snooty

guy looks at you and says

"Hey, I'm just telling

you, it's your decision."

Can you hand me the

adjustable wrench?

Darcy?

You okay darc?

Um...

I saw you looking at Betty.

Yeah, well...

That skirt was pretty short.

It's hard not to look.

Well then you're going to have

to try harder, aren't you?

It's a big week

next week, huh?

Petra's big week.

You want to hand

me the adjustable?

I want to get out of here.

Thank you honey.

You're welcome.

Honey, limo's here.

I'll be down in a

couple of minutes!

I brought you

some fizzy water.

Oh, thanks.

Oh my god.

What?

What's wrong?

You look gorgeous.

Oh...

No, no, no.

None of that.

I'm going to have to fix

my mouth all over again.Hm?

But...

Thank you. Thank you.

You're very sweet.

So go on. I'll be down in just a

couple minutes.

Daddy...

Congratulations.

Quick, get a picture.
