DANTE:
How like her.
CAITLIN:
Then my mother called me this morning
and told me the announcement was in
the paper. That's when I hopped the
train to come back here, because I
knew you'd be a wreck.
DANTE:
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
CAITLIN:
Was I right?
DANTE:
Wreck is a harsh term. Disturbed is
more like it. Mildly disturbed even.
CAITLIN:
I love a macho façade. It's such a
turn-on.
(sniffing air)
What smells like shoe polish?
DANTE:
And you came here to what? To comfort
me?
CAITLIN:
The last thing I needed was for you
to think I was hiding something from
you.
DANTE:
But you were.
CAITLIN:
No, I wasn't. Not really. I told
you'd I'd been seeing other people.
DANTE:
Yeah, but not seriously. Christ,
you're ready to walk down the aisle-
I'd say that constitutes something
more than just seeing somebody.
CAITLIN:
I'm giving him his ring back.
DANTE:
What?
CAITLIN:
I don't want to marry him. I don't
want to get married now. I'm on the
verge of graduation. I want to go to
grad school after this. And then I
want to start a career. I don't want
to be a wife first, and then have to
worry about when I'm going to fit in
all of the other stuff. I've come
way too far and studied too hard to
let my education go to waste as a
housewife. And I know that's what
I'd become. Sang's already signed
with a major firm, and he's going to
be pulling a huge salary, which would
give me no reason to work, and he's
so traditional anyway...
DANTE:
Sang? His name is a past tense?
CAITLIN:
Stop it. He's a nice guy.
DANTE:
If he's so nice, why aren't you going
to marry him?
CAITLIN:
I just told you.
DANTE:
There's more, isn't there?
CAITLIN:
Why, Mr. Hicks-whatever do you mean?
DANTE:
Tell me I don't have something to do
with it.
CAITLIN:
You don't have anything to do with
it.
DANTE:
You lie.
CAITLIN:
Look how full of yourself you are.
DANTE:
I just believe in giving credit where
credit is due. And I believe that
I'm the impetus behind your failure
to wed.
CAITLIN:
If I'm so nuts about you, then why
am I having sex with an Asian design
major?
DANTE:
Jesus, you're caustic.
CAITLIN:
I had to bring you down from that
cloud you were floating on. When I
say I don't want to get married, I
mean just that. I don't want to marry
anybody. Not for years.
DANTE:
So who's asking? I don't want to
marry you.
CAITLIN:
Good. Stay in that frame of mind.
DANTE:
But can we date?
CAITLIN:
I'm sure Sang and-Veronica?-would
like that.
DANTE:
We could introduce them. They might
hit it off.
CAITLIN:
You're serious. You want to date
again.
DANTE:
I would like to be your boyfriend,
yes.
CAITLIN:
It's just the shock of seeing me
after three years. Believe me, you'll
get over it.
DANTE:
Give me a bit more credit. I think
it's time we got back together, you
know. I'm more mature, you're more
mature, you're finishing college,
I'm already in the job market...
CAITLIN:
You work in a market, all right.
DANTE:
Cute. Tell me you wouldn't want to
go out again. After all the talking
we've been doing.
CAITLIN:
The key word here is talk, Dante. I
think the idea, the conception of us
dating is more idyllic than what
actually happens when we date.
