Wake the f*** up,

Eric, all right?

She begged me to do it.

What... what...

What do you think, I go around

this city looking for married

women to hook up with?

No.

What... what...

What do you think, that I didn't

say, "hey, no, you're married.

We shouldn't...

We shouldn't do this"?

But you did.

It's Audrey, okay?

You...

You should know, man.

She's beautiful.

She's amazing.

You don't say her f***ing name.

If she's looking elsewhere, it's

because you let her look, okay?

You never fought

for your marriage.

How could you neglect

somebody like Audrey?

Neglect?

Is that what she told you?

She's been trying, Eric.

She said she'd been

trying for years, but...

But you, you keep

pushing her away.

Thank you.

Thank you for being the

impartial therapist in this

relationship, okay?

I'm the one who's trying.

I'm the one who's

being pushed away.

Look, man, this has nothing

to do with me, all right?

You need to handle

this and talk...

Talk this out with your wife.

Yes, we will.

Right now.

Jesus.

Hi. Yes, I did.

Yes.

Can you please, come out?

I'm pulling up, can you just

please come out right now?

What... what...

What are you doing, Eric?

Just get in the car, okay?

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Hey.

Hey, look.

I will... I will...

I will leave Audrey alone, okay?

I'll leave her alone.

I... I... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for sleeping

with your wife, okay?

But just...

Just let me out, all right?

I'm leaving.

Open the f***ing door, Eric.

Hi.

Can you please get in the car?

What?

What is it?

Can you please get in the car?

What is this?

Just get in the car.

Eric...

Please get in the car.

Where are we going?

We're just gonna go talk.

Can we talk at home, please?

It's not far.

What are you doing here?

I just called a car

and he's who I got.

Are you serious?

Did you stalk him?

No.

And you don't have any room for

anger in this situation, okay?

None.

He's not gonna do

anything stupid, is he?

Of course not.

This isn't what that is.

Yeah?

Then what is it, Eric?

Because you don't seem

very stable, right now.

Do you...

Do you have a gun in the car?

Does he have a gun in the car?

In the glove box.

It's locked.

But he's not gonna do anything.

Well, h-how do you know?

Because I know my husband.

And he's got no room to

talk to me about cheating.

What?

You think this is like that?

I never slept with her.

You would have if

you had the chance.

That's not true.

If I hadn't gotten sick and

kept you from going on that

trip, that's exactly

where it would've gone.

That is...

You don't know that.

That's unfair.

Just because you didn't f***

her doesn't mean that you didn't

cheat on me.

I felt sick for

crossing those lines, okay?

I loved you, I chose you, us.

I chose us.

How do you think I felt

being with you after that?

That was five years ago.

And you forgave me.

Well, it's

clearly still an issue.

I loved you and i

still love you.

It's too late, Eric.

No.

No, it's not.

F*** this guy,

he's a piece of sh*t.

Oh, thanks, Eric.

You are just one of a whole list

of women that he sleeps with,

whenever he wants.

No... no, she's

not. Don't do this.

You want to know where i

was taking him tonight?

It wasn't home to rest

before his flight to Houston.

It was to another woman's house.

Is that true?

No.

And f*** you, Eric, lecturing

me about another man's wife when

y-you had an affair

what, five years ago?

Maybe it was your wife

i was taking you to.

You know, that would

make a lot of sense.

Are you married?

No, I'm not seeing

any other women.

You've married every

woman you've ever f***ed.

You just never knew it.

Audrey.

Audrey, I...

I really...

Hey...

Really care about you.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey, what the f***, man?

Whatever you two do

have is ending tonight.

Don't you f***ing

touch me, Eric!

Audrey's my wife and

you're f***ing done with her.

It's not up to you, Eric.

This is my choice.

You can't just decide that the

last five years didn't happen.

God, where was this man

when Jesse whitehall

wouldn't leave me alone?

Where was this man when i

was pleading with you to go to

counseling?

It's too late.

I'm sorry that this happened,

Eric, but I don't love you

anymore.

Why...

Why...

Why did you just

cancel my route?

I'm...

I'm not paying for sh*t.

This ride's free.

You need to turn this car around

and take us back to the city,

right now, or I'm...

I'm...

I'm gonna report

you, you'll nev- ...

Youll never work

in this town again.

And then, I'm gonna call

the police and report you for

f***ing kidnapping.

Go ahead.

You got in the car voluntarily,

you can get out voluntarily.

Stop the f***ing car, Eric.

Oh, what are you gonna do?

Jesus Christ.

You gonna shoot somebody?

No, I'm trying to make

sure that you won't.

Jesus.

Maybe we should

talk about separating.

Audrey, we can go to counseling.

We're past that.

You're not happy and i

can't make you happy.

I...

I think you should just

take that job in Atlanta.

Please...

Let's just take a break...

No.

Hello? Yes... don't

do th- ...

I'm in a cab.

Uh, the driver's

name is Eric Hollister.

You see this?...

And he's not...

He's refusing to let me...

Is that you want to be with?...

Out and...

Or take me to my destination.

Gotta call the cops to handle

his sh*t, when he can't even

deal with me like a real man.

I... I... I...

Hey, tell them you're...

You're with the woman you're

sleeping with and her husband,

see what they say about that.

I believe he has a

gun in the car...

Get off the phone...

And my life may be in danger.

Yeah, tell them which one of

us is actually threatening the

other physical harm.

No, I...

I...

I don't have...

Give them to me...

That information...

I'll talk to 'em.

Get off the phone!

No, listen...

I'll talk to them.

What, you can't do anything?

Nope, they're not.

Oh, that...

That...

That's great, detectives.

God dammit.

So, what are we

gonna do, huh, Eric?

We're gonna drive around all

night and talk, talk about your

feelings and then may be what,

sing saying "kumbayah" at the

end or some- ...?

Look, I will leave

Audrey alone, all right?

All right? I... I...

I'm sorry I met you, okay?

I said I was sorry.

I'm...

I'm sorry that I like

your wife, all right?

I never meant to hurt anybody.

Patrick.

Are there other women?

Stop.

Stop.

Audrey, forget

about him, please.

I think you should

go to Atlanta, Eric.

No.

You're my wife.

Let me try again.

I want to be with Patrick.

No!

He's not good enough for you.

I can start over.

I don't love you anymore.

You don't know what love is.

It's not the affection

that you used to feel for me.

That's a parody, okay?

What are you talking about?

My good is my good,

your good is yours.

What...

You're not making any sense...

One gains, another loses.

Audrey, maybe we shouldn't

see each other anymore.

What?

There it is.

There's the
