Bad Timing Page #4

You could cause trouble for Stefan.

Milena, either you're married

or divorced.

You can't be in-between.

To be in-between

is to be no place at all.

I don't get it.

I can't find anything

around here anymore.

I put something down,

I go to look for it, it's gone.

Could spend more time at your place.

My place is getting to look

exactly like your place.

[Policeman]

This must be his car.

It's open.

About 14 minutes.

Let's say a comfortable

quarter of an hour.

Yes, but if there was traffic... -

Traffic.

[Radio:
Static]

Well, well, the radio is on.

[Pop, Female Vocalist]

That's the, uh, late station.

So that's what you do at night... - you listen

to music instead of your communications band.

- Never.

- What time does it start?

- Never!

- The late station, Gudagast. The late station.

Around midnight, I think.

- [Continues]

- Oh, he thinks.

It was open.

- Right again.

- [Phone Rings]

[Phone Rings]

Like?

- [Ringing Continues]

- Incredible.

[Milena Laughing]

I was just thinking, if I'm not nice to you,

if I'm mean, it'd be easy for you to leave me.

Look. Look at the kitchen.

Oh! Look.

Your favorite sheets.

[Laughs]

- That's great.

- Yeah.

[Milena Giggling]

Alex. Not now.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

[Chuckles]

- What is it?

- Nothing. It's just that I don't want to.

What do you wanna do then?

What's so urgent?

We can just sit and talk,

be with each other.

Relax.

You're so tense these days.

Hey, we're okay.

I'll talk. It's just that you don't want to

face the things I want to talk about.

- I daren't talk.

- Oh, honey.

Please. Come sit down.

- Okay, what do you wanna talk about?

- [Laughs]

Haven't we anything else left?

I just wanted us to be nice together,

that's all.

You say you wanna be nice.

- I'd like you to be this and... -

- Is that the only way I can be nice to you?

You know that's not true.

[Scoffs]

Do I?

Anyway, I have to go soon.

Why do you have to go?

I have things... -

some stuff I was gonna do.

What if we'd made love?

But we didn't.

Anyway, I really can't stay.

I'm sorry if I spoiled things.

Alex, don't go. Wait.

- Why are you lying to yourself all the time?

- I'm not. I have to go.

Wait.

Wait a minute, Alex.

- Look... -

- [Man, Woman Arguing, Indistinct]

You gotta understand me,

the way I am.

I mean...

there's nobody else... -

they're all in your head.

But I must be who I am.

You know, to be with people

you don't like...

and, I don't know,

get up when I want to get up...

and eat when I want to eat...

drink when I want to drink

and f*** when I want to f***!

I'm sure you will.

You do everything only when you want to.

See ya tomorrow,

same time, same place.

[Sighs]

F*** you.

Wait a minute. Wait! Alex!

Wait! Alex!

Alex.

Alex.

You want me? Huh?

Huh? Come on. Come on.

Do it now, Alex.

Do it now.

Here it is, Alex.

Here it is. Look at it, Alex!

Alex! Don't you want it? Huh?

There it is, Alex! Come here! Come here!

Come here and take it.

That's what you want. Here it is!

Come on! Huh?

Don't you want it?

Then do it now! F*** me!

F*** me right here and now,

goddamn it!

- [Mutters] I'll f*** you.

- Huh?

There you go. Huh?

Stick in it there then, huh?

- [Alex Groans]

- That's it.

[Alex Groaning, Panting]

[Both Panting]

[Alex Whispers]

Oh, God.

[Alex Moaning]

- Oh, God.

- That's all it is, huh? That's all it is, huh?

Huh?

- [Milena Moans]

- Oh, God.

[Both Panting]

Love me.

Love me!

Love me!

Love me! Damn it!

[Whimpering]

Oh, f***.

[Shouts]

Oh, f***!

[Sobbing]

[Mutters]

Good night.

[Sobbing, Screaming]

Right again.

What a mess.

just like my sister's.

[Alex]

Nothing!

Nothing.

Come back!

Whoo!

[Alex]

I remember in New York...

across from us,

on the other side of the park...

there was this beautiful, old mansion.

It was very elegant, aristocratic.

It made me feel good

knowing something so beautiful...

was so close.

Around it were lots of other lovely

buildings, mostly built, I think...

around the turn of the century.

One by one, they went down...

and one by one,

up went mostly monstrosities.

But that one building remained.

It was there.

Someone said

an eccentric millionaire owned it.

At night, as a kid,

when I'd walk across the park...

I'd use it to guide me.

Then later, when I graduated,

started to teach...

it was still there.

One day I had to go to Boston.

That was Friday.

When I got back on Tuesday,

it was gone.

Gone, like that.

What?

[Chuckles]

Nothing.

[Faint Drumming]

I found this on the floor.

- [Native Instruments]

- [Firecrackers Exploding]

Hi! Mmm. Mmm.

I missed you!

- I've been shopping.

- New York?

I have an option to renew my contract

with the university, which I won't.

But I say we go back, we get married,

we build something solid to... -

What about now?

- What do you mean "now"?

- Here, right now. This minute, this second.

Look where we are.

Milena, did you miss that I

asked you just now to marry me?

No.

Well, what are you talking about?

I'm asking you to marry me.

- What are you... -

- I've loved these days.

- I've loved them.

- [Alex Thinking] I don't get it.

- Well, weren't you happy?

- Yes!

- You had to be happy. I felt it.

- I am happy. I was happy.

- It can be that way from now on.

- I am happy.

When I'm with you, I'm with you.

I love being with you.

Milena, what does that mean?

"With me," "not with me."

- You have a husband you don't want, but you... -

- I just... - My own life.

My own time.

[Ululating]

You can be a part of it,

the biggest part of it.

You are the biggest part of it.

I love you.

- [Man Shouts]

- Come on.

Okay? Look at where we are.

[Engine Roaring]

[Man]

Look at this.
