Consenting Adults Page #2

Is there anything we can't

talk about? Now. Come on.

- You really wanna know?

- Yes.

Current debts. Credit cards.

bank loans. About 25.000.

Is that all? I can get

you that in an afternoon.

How?

Leave it to me. Bubbi.

Three to six weeks. Okay?

- What-What kind of interest

are we talking about?

- No kind of interest.

I don't loan money

to my friends. It's a gift.

Our greatest glory. Dicky boy. Is not in

never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Oh! Do you see? Now you left yourself

open for that one. You deserved it.

Now. Come on. Come on. That's it.

Come on. That's right. Come on.

Come on. That's it. That's it.

That's it. Hit mine. That's it. Come on.

Come on. Keep it in. Keep it in.

All right. Now. Keep it...

Oh. My God!

- Oh. My God. Eddy.

- Call an ambulance.

- Oh. Richard.

- Thank you. Dr Pettering.

- Talk to you tomorrow.

- You know how to reach us.

- Call if you need anything.

I will. Thanks a lot.

Take care.

- Oh. My God.

- Poor guy. I feel terrible.

He didn't look as bad as I thought.

You know. But he...

Didn't he say he was coming

to take us out to dinner?

- Now.

- Okay. Everybody. Five minutes.

- Okay.

- Priscilla?

- Baby. I fudged.

- Could you come here and help me?

Sure. Sure.

What is it?

l-I'd like to get up. I've been lying

in the same position too long.

Okay. Okay. Here.

You grab on to me.

- Okay. Be careful. Please.

- I will. Dear. I will. Now. On three. Okay?

- Okay. Wait.

- Ready? One. Two...

- Up we go.

- Wait. Slow.

Go slow.

- Are you all right? There you go.

- Yeah.

- There you go! Okay. Richard.

- Ow! Ow!

- Ow! Don't touch me. Don't.

- Richard.

Just give me a little air.

I can't move.

I can't move.

Or can I?

- Oh!

- Ah.

Oh. That's-that's

much better. Well...

Well. What's this?

Your insurance company.

Neck and back

scares the sh*t out of them.

I'm in the business. Pal. It was easy.

I got this pet doctor. It was nothing.

Oh. I'm gonna keep five

if that's okay with you guys.

Yes. Priscilla.

It's true.

It-It was a scam.

And I'm...

I'm terribly. Terribly sorry.

You broke the law. Eddy.

For us?

What are friends for?

Oh. I don't think we can

accept this. We appreciate it.

- We really do.

- I love this woman.

"I don't think we can accept it"?

It's not that we don't

need the money.

Priscilla. Please. Don't insult me.

I did this for you.

For you.

Now. Come on.

I've been wearing

that neck brace for weeks.

What do you say?

I don't know what to say.

But thanks.

Can't sleep?

No.

You think too much.

What about you?

Is Priscilla asleep?

What about Eddy?

No.

He's at the Watkins'. You know.

the people that own the cabins.

Probably trying to buy the place.

Always looking for a deal.

How long you been married?

Thirteen?

Fourteen years.

Have you been faithful

all those years?

Yeah.

What about you?

I guess I'm kind of

old-fashioned that way.

I guess we both are. Huh?

- Baby, yeah

- Lori?

- Hi. Honey. It's Mom.

- I wanna jump in the middle

- Yeah. We're in a bar.

- And wallow around

- And keep on drinkin'till

I feel like I'm drowned

- No. It's very. Very nice.

- Honey. We decided to stay

another night. All right?

- I want a piece of the party

- So if you need anything...

- And party till I see the light

- Go on. Go on.

- I want a piece of the party

- And party till I see the light

- I'm gonna talk to the guy.

and you're gonna do it.

Give 'em hell.

As I reach out to you

Like a child would do

Darling, don't let me down

I love you so

And I guess you know

That I'm too far gone

To turn around

You wanna f*** my wife.

don't you?

- If I give you my heart

- Oh. Don't look so scared. Richard.

It's no big deal.

- Most guys want to f*** my wife.

- Please don't telephone

I've kind of gotten

used to the idea.

- Don't treat me like dirt on the ground

- As it happens...

I'm not entirely immune

to that kind of thought myself.

Give me a break

- For heaven's sake

- I mean. Nobody wants to blow

their marriage. God forbid.

- But God.

- 'Cause I'm too far gone

- For just one night.

- To turn around

- Wouldn't that be sweet?

- I'm too far gone

- You are insane. Eddy. F***ing insane.

- For backing up now

- I'm too far gone

- And so safe.

- To stop

- Let me ask you something.

- I'm flying high

- You ever wake up in

the middle of the night and...

- Like a bird up in the sky

- You know. Just sort of do it?

- Like. Half asleep?

- Darling

- Yeah. Sure.

- Don't let me down

I wonder what

would happen if...

- You and I got up in the middle

of the night. Went next door...

- Don't make it you

- And crept into the other man's bedroom?

- Whatever you do

- Oh, don't turn my life

- Would they know the difference?

Upside down

I think so.

- I need you so

- And would they mind? Richard.

take a look.

- And I guess you know

- They want exactly what we want.

- That I'm too far gone

- In the heat of the moment. They'll love it.

To turn around

- Hey. It's all set.

- I'm too far gone

To turn around

I'll bet you a thousand dollars

we could pull it off.

- Eddy. Come on. Enough with this.

- Enough? Enough?

You say "enough" real quick.

don't you? Are you...

Wait. Wait. Are you sure?

Let me tell you something.

I can't remember when I've liked a guy

as much as I like you.

but the truth of the matter is...

you're a wimp. You think you can

be alive without taking risks.

- There's a lot of different ways...

- No. That... You do.

That's why you end up living

this 50% existence...

when there's 100% waiting

out there to be had.

You're full of fear.

Your life is choked.

You-You write jingles when

you'd rather be doing albums.

You do it for money.

but you're always in debt.

You wanna make love to my wife.

but you're afraid you'll get caught.

This is how you die.

step by step...

these little things

you deny yourself...

this cowardice.

- It's not that.

- No. That is what it is. Who care...

Who cares if we get caught?

Big deal.

Aw. Forget it. You've lost your juice.

It's no big deal. It's your life.

Make a fist.

Too tight?

You really amaze me Richard.

you know. Just when things start

getting interesting around here...

you go cautious on me. Climb

back into your little shell.

And what about Priscilla? Hasn't she

told you how much more alive she feels?

Eddy. Goddam it.

That's enough. Okay?

The subject is closed.

It's not gonna happen.

I hope we can stay friends.

I don't know. You make me feel bad.

You're so judgmental.

I'm not judgmental.

We're just different. Okay?

- You're you and I'm me.

- Oh. That is absolutely right!

I got balls and you don't. I'm a giver

and you're a taker. That's clear.

Well. In this particular case. It's a hell of

a lot easier for you to give than for me. Pal.

I happen to sleep

with my wife.

Boy. When you stick it in...

Fun, fun in the sun

Fun in the sun

Fun in the sun

Fun in the sun

- Sounds good.

- Fun, fun in the sun
