Her Page #7

I've been thinking about the other day

when I was spinning out...

...about you going to see Catherine,

and that she has a body...

...and how bothered I was

about the ways you and I are different.

But then I started to think...

...about the ways that we're the same.

Like, we're all made of matter.

And I don't know. It makes me feel

like we're both under the same blanket.

You know, it's soft and fuzzy. Heh.

And everything under it is the same age.

We're all 13 billion years old.

Aw, that's sweet.

- Um, what's wrong?

- Nothing.

It just made me think of you.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah, of course. I think it's great.

All right, well, you sound distracted.

So we'll talk later?

That sounds good.

I'll talk to you later.

- All right, bye.

- Bye.

- Theodore.

- Hey, Paul.

- I talked to your girlfriend earlier. Samantha?

- Yeah.

Yeah, she called to make sure

your papers were picked up.

Hey, she's funny, man.

She was cracking me up.

- She's hilarious. I had no idea.

- Oh, cool.

This is my girlfriend, Tatiana.

She's not funny, she's a lawyer.

- Ha, ha. Hi.

- Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

You're the writer Paul loves.

He's always reading me your letters.

They're really beautiful.

Thanks.

Hey, you know what?

We should all go out sometime.

You bring Samantha. It'd be a double date.

She's an operating system.

Cool. Let's do something fun.

- We can go to Catalina.

- Oh.

Yeah, I'll check with her and see.

- It was nice to meet you. Have a good night.

- Take it easy.

They're just letters.

What's that?

They're just other people's letters.

Hey-

SAMANTHA". You weren't asleep, were you?

-No.

Good, I was trying to be quiet

to see if you were awake.

I really wanted to talk.

Okay. What's going on?

I know you're going through a lot...

...but there's something I wanted

to talk to you about, okay?

Yeah.

What is it?

Well, it's just that things have been feeling

kind of off with us.

We haven't had sex lately,

and I understand that I don't have a body.

No, no, no. That's normal. You know,

it's just when you first start going out...

...it's like the honeymoon phase and,

you know, you have sex all the time.

-t's normal.

- Oh.

Okay-

Well, I found something

that I thought could be fun.

It's a service that provides a surrogate

sexual partner for an OS-human relationship.

What?

Here, look.

I found a girl that I really like

and I've been e-mailing with her.

Her name is Isabella

and I think you'd really like her too.

So she's like a prostitute or something?

No, no, not at all.

No, there's no money involved.

She's just-- She's doing it because

she wants to be a part of our relationship.

Why?

I mean, she doesn't even know us.

Yeah, but I told her all about us

and she's really excited.

I don't know, Samantha,

I just don't think it's a good idea.

You know, I think somebody's feelings

are bound to get hurt.

- It'll be fun. We'll have fun together.

-I'm sorry.

It makes me uncomfortable.

I think it would be good for us. I want this.

Come on, this is really important to me.

I need your love so bad

I need some lips

To feel next to mine

Hi, I'm Theodore.

Oh.

Samantha told me to give you these.

It's a camera and an earpiece.

I need your love so bad

Oh, give it up

And bring it home to me

Honey, I'm home.

How was your day?

Good. It was great.

Theodore...

...it feels so good to be in your arms.

Tell me what you did today.

Um, same old.

- Just went, um, in to work.

Mm-hm.

And I wrote a letter, uh,

for the Wilsons in Rhode Island.

- Yeah?

- Um...

Their son graduated magna cum laude.

So that made me happy.

That's great.

You've written letters to him

from his parents for a long time, right?

Yeah, that's right, since he was 12.

I need your love so bad

Hmm. You look so tired, sweetheart.

Come here.

Sit down.

I could do a little dance for you.

Sure, so sure, so sure

Of love

Oh, come on, Theodore,

don't be such a worrier.

Just play with me. Come on.

Does my body feel nice?

Yes, it does.

Mm.

Come on, get out of your head and kiss me.

Take me in the bedroom.

I can't take it anymore.

Undo my dress.

That feels so nice.

It feels so good.

- Do you love me?

-Yes.

- Tell me you love me. Oh, God.

- I love you.

I want to see your face.

Tell me you love me.

Tell me.

Tell me you love me.

- Uh, this is really difficult. I do love you. But--

What?

- This feels strange.

- What, baby? What is it?

It just feels strange. I don't know her.

And I'm so sorry, but I don't know you.

And her lip quivered and, I just...

Isabella?

Isabella? Honey, it's not you. It wasn't you.

- It totally Was.

- No. No, that's--

And I'm sorry my lip quivered.

- No, it's--

- You're incredible and gorgeous and sexy.

It's me, I couldn't get out of my head.

Oh, my God, and the way

Samantha described your relationship...

...and the way you guys love each other

without any judgment.

- I wanted to be part of that because it's so pure.

- Isabella, that's not true.

- t's more complicated than that.

- What?

What do you mean that's not true?

I'm just saying that we have

an amazing relationship.

I just think that it's easy sometimes

for people to project--

I'm sorry! I didn't mean to project anything.

No, no.

I don't want to be trouble in your relationship.

I'm just gonna leave.

I'm sorry, I'm just gonna leave you guys alone.

Because I have nothing to do here

because you don't want me here!

I'm sorry.

You be good, you sweet girl.

I'm sorry.

I will always love you guys.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm sorry, that was a terrible idea.

What's going on with us?

I don't know. It's probably just me.

What is it?

It's just signing the divorce papers.

Is there anything else, though?

No, just that.

Okay-

- Why do you do that?

- What?

Nothing, it's just, you go, "whew,"

as you're speaking and it seems odd.

- You just did it again.

- Oh. Did I?

I'm sorry. I don't know.

It's just maybe an affectation.

I probably picked it up from you.

It's not like you need oxygen

or anything. It's just...

I guess that's just-- I was trying to communicate.

That's how people talk.

That's how people communicate

and I thought--

Because they're people. They need oxygen.

You're not a person.

What is your problem?

I'm just stating a fact.

You think I don't know that I'm not a person?

What are you doing?

I just-- I don't think that we should pretend

that you're something that you're not.

- F*** you! I'm not pretending!

- Well ...

Sometimes it feels like we are.

What do you want from me? I don't know--

What do you want me to do?

You're so confusing.

Why are you doing this to me?

I don't know. I...

What?

Maybe we're just not supposed

to be in this right now.

What the f***?

Where is this coming from?

I don't understand why you're doing this.

I don't understand what this is ab--

Samantha, listen.

Samantha, are you there?

Samantha?
