Chloe Page #4

Okay.

And these just came for you.

And there's an urgent e-mail as well.

I'll be right there.

I'm so sorry.

My God.

This is Chloe.

Where are you?

I'm in your waiting room.

Didn't you see me when you came in?

Smell them.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

No.

I'm sorry.

Why?

You're amazing.

You're so beautiful.

But we've taken this

as far as I want it to go.

I liked it. Last night.

Yeah, I liked it, too.

I can't say that I didn't.

I don't want this to be over.

And I don't think

that you want it to be, either.

You want money?

It's not about money.

You accepted money from me,

so when did this not become about money?

Okay. Now...

This should

take care of everything.

This isn't a business thing.

This was so real and you know that.

What about last night?

I touched you and I?

How do I get through to you?

This business transaction,

which... which is what this was, is over.

Now, please,

you have got to get out of here.

Come on.

Come on.

I'm so sorry...

Right here! Right here!

Come on, right here.

Pass it! Pass!

- Come on!

- Stewart!

- 2 minutes, tripping.

- You gotta be kidding me!

Sh*t!

Hey!

Hey.

I bought you that CD that we

talked about... Raised by Swans. Swans.

Thanks.

What?

I... I downloaded all their

albums already.

But you didn't download

the case or the artwork...

or the CD that you can keep forever

and hold in your hands.

I hate the Internet.

Nothing is private.

Nothing is real.

Like this-- me meeting you here.

The penalty box.

Do you have a page?

No.

Yes. Yeah.

I know. I saw it.

That's how I knew

that you had a game today.

Nice picture.

I don't really photograph well.

Yeah, you do.

I like that picture of your mom.

There's... there's not a picture

of my mom on there.

Isn't she in the background

when you're getting that award?

Yeah, but she's out of focus.

Yeah, she is.

I notice everything.

I'll see you.

We were young

Like the universe...

Michael?

Like our mother's work

Like these words...

Michael?

- Mom?

- Jesus!

Where'd you get this music?

- From the store.

- Did you talk to that girl?

- What girl?

- In my office?

What are you talking about?

Is she here? Where is she?

What the f*** are you do--

Are you f***ing insane?

I don't know. I don't...

I don't know.

My God.

I don't know.

I'm sorry, honey. I'm...

I told you not to call my husband.

I didn't call your husband.

He called me.

I... I wouldn't...

I would never contact him.

He... when he called it was

like there was...

it wasn't about sex.

It was something

emotional vulnerable.

He said that

when he touches you...

he feels like he's

cheating on me.

Isn't that crazy?

Did you hear me?

Catherine?

Meet me in an hour

at the Caf Diplomatico.

What's going on?

You want to order?

I'm chairing Orals.

This is not going to take long.

Coffee, please.

I'm having Cognac.

Hennessy for my wife.

What is this?

I wanted to give each other

a chance to lay things out straight.

I want to tell

each other everything.

The truth.

Is there something

that you want to tell me?

Me?

Just tell me.

About New York?

Okay.

I lied.

I didn't want to have a birthday.

I didn't want to have another year

closer to retirement. So I stayed.

I had a drink.

I had 3.

You went and had a drink

with Miranda.

You did.

- You listened to my messages.

- What did you do with her?

Now you're spying on me.

You know, I planned

your party for months.

I secretly call each and

every one of our friends.

I... I... I spend thousands of dollars

on a cake, a caterer and flowers.

I act like some superhuman

housewife and

you're screwing an 18-year-old

because I am a f***ing idiot.

I didn't screw her.

I flirted with her.

You are so full of sh*t.

What?

What?

What? Who was that girl?

Nobody.

She was nobody.

It's over.

That's it?

Yes.

Well, wait a minute. You...

you came here to lay the cards

on the table.

I'm the only one

who's admitted anything.

I can't explain it.

It was... it was so sudden.

It was so unexpected

and it's over now.

And I'm supposed to be

happy about that?

I'm supposed to be happy you had

your little mid-life crisis fling?

It wasn't a fling.

Jesus, Catherine.

How many times have

I been tempted?

And I never did anything about it.

Never once.

No. But you wanted to.

I'm human! Could you say

you'd been any different?

I have never, ever wanted to be

with anybody else.

You're lying to me.

You're f***ing lying.

You took me from work.

And you brought me all the way down

here to be honest with each other.

You've told me nothing.

Wait!

David!

Wait...

Sorry, pal.

I'll tell you. She said

that her name was Chloe.

What?

A girl. I asked her to do something.

To tempt you.

I wanted to see what you were doing

because I thought you were having an affair.

- I'm not cheating, Catherine...

- I know. I know that now.

I know, but at the time

she said she slept with you.

- This is ridiculous.

- She took my money

and she lied about sex with you.

And I'd meet up with her and

she'd tell me... she'd tell every detail.

Like what?

Stories.

She said that it started

with a picnic in the park.

At Allen Gardens

in the conservatory.

She said she kissed you and

she could feel you getting excited.

It was... It was confusing.

It just... But it made me feel

closer to you.

You become more beautiful

every year.

Every... every grey hair,

every line.

Everything that happens to you

makes you so much more desirable

and I feel like

if you were to blow on me

I'd vanish.

I'd disappear.

I felt so invisible

and so old.

I slept with her.

You and I used to make love

And then every day.

And then once a week.

And then was born and then we

became parents and we were best friends.

And I didn't know how to go from

being your best friend to being your lover.

You stopped touching me.

David, I couldn't

look at myself.

I didn't know who I was.

I think I'm 19 and

then I look in the mirror and

I'm this person that doesn't know

how to seduce you.

So show me around the house.

I don't want to leave you but I'm late

and they're going to kill me at school.

I'll still be here.

I'll wait for you at home.

I'm sorry.

For not trusting you.

Hurry home.

Where's your parents' room?

It's... it's upstairs.

What are you doing?

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

...to tell the story.

Historical transposition is

tremendously complex and...

Michael?

Sh*t! Sh*t!

Come on.

Michael, get out of here.

Come on. Let's go!

Michael...

You... you think that

you can buy me

and I'm just going to go away,

just like that?

Did you think that you could

just put money in my hand and I would...

and I would go and

take care of myself?

Michael. Michael,

I don't want you to hear this.

Come on. Get out.

Get out. Get out now.

Please go!

I don't want you near my son.

Mom!

He's not yours.

Your husband isn't yours.

I'm not yours. We're not just

here to do as you say.
