You know, a therapist.

I'm not gonna talk

to a shrink about anything.

Especially not

our personal affairs.

Half of those people are crooks.

That's ridiculous.

No, no. Ridiculous is

the money they spend

on some fake doctor

to listen to their problems.

Wow. I didn't know you

hated an entire profession.

Look, sweetie,

we have always talked

about everything, right?

Why would we need to bring

somebody in, a total stranger,

and have them

get in between us? Hmm?

Jason, why aren't you

listening to me?

I mean, I think that...

You know, maybe...

Listen to you, listen to you.

... it would be a good...

Come here, sweetie.

You're exhausted.

You work too hard.

All right, we both do.

Tell you what.

Why don't we go to that

French place on Saturday?

The one you like.

With the candles.

Have some wine, hmm?

Mmm.

Yes. Um...

I need to take a walk.

Okay, that's a good idea.

Get some fresh air.

I'll finish up.

Our love is forever.

Always has been.

Always will be.

Wow.

Quinton, that was great.

I needed that.

Yeah, yeah, me, too.

Mmm...

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Actually...

Actually, I'm not okay.

I'm not okay. I, uh...

I think we need to talk.

Talk about what?

About us.

About the whole thing.

I mean, it has been great

and everything, but...

But what?

Leave him.

Leave your husband

and be with me.

I can't.

You can't? Why the hell not?

I can't.

I can't leave Jason.

Tell me, tell me why not.

Tell me. I wanna know.

Because Jason's my life.

Yeah, and that's why you're here

with me every chance you get?

Oh, Quinton, come on,

you knew that I was married when we met.

What'd you expect?

I didn't expect anything.

I don't know what to expect.

I didn't expect to fall

in love with you and I did!

And I know

you've thought about it.

I look at you and I see it.

I feel it.

It's more than

just sex to you, too.

I can't!

I have two kids!

I have a family. I can't.

I want to have a family, too.

With you.

He changed the rules on me.

He wasn't supposed to do that.

He changed the rules?

Okay. We both did.

Hmm.

But, I mean,

Jason wasn't listening.

Damn, Quinton was right.

I could picture myself with him.

How does that

make you feel, Zoe?

Like I was cheating

with my heart.

Which is not what

I signed on for.

This is not what I need.

What do you need?

Oh, yeah?

You want it in?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Come on.

Yeah, you like that? Huh?

My name is Corey.

Mmm.

I've never done it

like that before.

I enjoyed every minute of it.

Is there medication?

You know, some kind of pill

that you can prescribe?

Oh, Lord.

I even sound like an addict.

You know that

we never really got a chance

to talk about

your childhood in Dallas,

before you moved to Atlanta.

Oh, I don't remember

any of that.

You were 10 years old

when you moved, right?

I'm telling you,

I don't remember anything.

Jason teases me about it.

He says it's because

my life began when I met him.

So when'd you get that scar?

Was that before Atlanta?

Uh...

God, I've always had this.

Why? What does it matter?

Because, Zoe, the past can help

us understand the present.

So we really do need

to explore every avenue,

in order to help make you well.

Oh. I gotta go.

Listen, I will try to remember

more, for next week.

I do wanna get better.

And you will.

Oh!

You like that?

Oh, God, yes.

What do you like about it?

Everything.

Zoe?

Zoe?

Come in.

Zoe...

You all right?

Um...

Oh, there's just something going

around at the kids' school.

What's up?

We need to go over

the numbers for this quarter,

and they are not good.

Here...

Quinton?

Hmm.

Little busy.

Just leave it at the beep.

Hey, it's me.

I see your car downstairs,

but I don't see you.

Where are you?

Oh, sh*t!

Hey, you wanna join us?

What's wrong with her?

Zoe, listen to me.

Don't touch me, you pig!

Can we talk it over, please?

Why don't you talk it over with

your little trick over there, huh?

B*tch! I don't even know

what's going on with you two.

I don't wanna know.

I mean, you can stay

and watch if you want.

Zoe, I know it's f***ed up,

but, please...

This whole thing is f***ed up!

This whole thing is f***ed up!

Yeah, you know what?

You're absolutely right!

It's f***ed up completely!

'Cause you get to go

to your husband every night.

And what? What do you

expect me to do, Zoe?

Just wait here for you?

Is that what...

Is that what you want me to do?

Zoe, I'm talking to you!

What do you want me to do?

Come here, Zoe.

Listen, Zoe.

Zoe, I asked you to be with me.

I asked you.

What do you want me to do?

Tell me. Whatever you

want me to do, I'll do it.

What do you want?

What the f***

did you want from me?

Nothing.

I don't want a damn thing.

Hi, baby.

What's wrong?

You okay?

What's going on?

Just... Bad day.

Hey, you know if you're in

trouble, you can always stay here.

I feel we have a connection.

Hmm. So you know I got

your back, right?

I'll take care of you.

I'm okay.

Just f*** me.

Oh, that's what you want, huh?

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, you like that.

Oh, yeah.

Slide back, baby.

Let me get up there

and do that for you.

I'll give it to you all day.

Choke me.

You like that?

You like it, don't you?

Yeah.

Good night, Mommy.

Good night, sweetie.

Okay.

Good night, Mom.

Good night.

I think I'm a little too old

to be tucked in.

Okay.

Momma, I'll be back.

Oh, yeah.

Yes!

Uh-huh.

Open up.

There you go.

Yeah! Harder.

You try it.

No.

Go ahead.

Are you sure?

Yeah, baby, just do it.

Ah!

Don't stop.

You've missed

every single soccer game.

Kayla's asking

where you go at night.

I tried explaining to her,

but I couldn't.

So, maybe

you can explain it to me.

Why? You're the only person

allowed to work late?

I work. I don't disappear.

Do you know how many nights

that I've stayed up

waiting up for you?

Oh, I'm in my office.

I answer your calls.

You always know where I am.

I don't know anything.

I don't know

what you do at work.

I don't know who you talk to.

I don't know what

you're doing with them.

I mean, I work, too, Jason.

I mean, what?

My work's not as important,

because I don't make

as much money as you?

Okay, stop it!

This is about the kids.

Is it?

No, I think this is about us.

I think we should talk

about what's missing.

What's missing?

Okay, let me see.

We got a beautiful home,

beautiful kids,

we got great careers.

What the hell else do you want?

Yeah, everything's perfect.

Look, I want you.

I want more from you.

I mean, I want you to loosen up.

You know? If you just

loosened up, and I could...

I could take us

to places that is just...

That's just so amazing.

Hmm?

I mean, you know,

we could try new things...

Experiment.

You know?

Okay, who the hell are you?

I'm your wife!

No, no, no, no...

My wife tells me

when something is wrong.

I tried.

My wife... My wife

tells me about her day,

makes time for her family,

and she doesn't get
