How to Steal a Wife Page #3

---

Wait.

Wait a minute.

So you want to say you're

happy I'm leaving?

It means you can spend 4

days with your husband here.

Is that your plan? Huh?

Caught red-handed, are you?

Are you jealous?

What does jealousy have to do with it?

I'm not jealous of anything.

Don't you trust me?

I trust you, but I don't

trust that bastard.

And what, you think it's normal to spend 4

days with your husband under the same roof?

- With my ex-husband.

- Well fine, but under the same roof.

Well it's his half.

His half, your half. Is there

anything left here for me at all?

The refrigerator.

The refrigerator. He even took

my slippers away from me.

And in general, do you even know what

people are saying about us at school?

- What?

- About you.

You know what they're saying?

It'll be interesting to see who Laima

Bickuviene-Tarailiene will choose-Bickus or Taraila.

That's it.

Tomorrow you take sick leave and I'm not going to

leave you alone here with that bum for 4 days.

You'll take sick leave and

we'll go to Klaipeda.

You can go to the Dolphinarium, I don't

know, and walk around while I'm there.

Got it? You're not staying here.

Ramutis, don't annoy me with these

idiotic jealousy attacks of yours.

Don't annoy me.

Laimute...

Did you make it?

No, I'll send it out tomorrow.

Are you going somewhere?

No.

You're all made up.

Me?

Excuse me.

What are you making?

Potato casserole.

Does Ramutis like it too?

Ramutis won't be here.

He went to take his

friend's place for 4 days,

to some conference or

something, I don't know.

Excuse me.

So you don't like potato casserole, Ramutis

isn't here, so who are you making it for?

Do you know that your potato

casserole was the best in prison?

We used to just wait for the

day when you brought it.

You know, by the time I used to get

it, all the edges would be eaten off.

And the warden's lips would be all greasy.

At the end of the year we had this event.

The Golden Cracklings Award.

You won second prize.

Why second?

See, you're a little weak with sauces.

We had all kinds.

We loved the one with spare ribs.

And one guy... there was this new guy,

and he cried for 2 days after

tasting your potato casserole.

Why?

He said he never tasted

potatoes grated like that.

One woman managed to sneak in a laptop...

hidden in a potato casserole.

So when she brought it, the

computer was still hot,

you couldn't even touch the keyboard.

We had all kinds of stuff there.

Can I give you a hand?

Sure.

Excuse me.

Just like the good old times.

Like the good old times...

you never used to be home.

You were always at work...

I used to sit around all

the time alone, waiting...

What were you thinking, that you'd

make all the money in the world?

But you didn't understand that

I needed you, not the money.

I'm sorry. But somebody had to make money.

Well... make money. But not steal it.

Laimute... I didn't steal that money.

Well you were stupid not to.

Because now there's neither money nor you.

And what if that money does exist?

Do you need money?

What kind of stupid question is that?

No, I don't.

So I don't get it, what do you want?

That's the whole problem, that you

don't understand what I want.

Excuse me.

Listen, what do you have hanging here?

Here.

Ramutis? Why did you come back?

What happened?

Why is the door locked?

It's always locked.

No, no, the key is in the lock.

I couldn't open it.

Maybe I forgot.

Oh. Are you going somewhere?

No.

Why are you made up?

Me?

No, me.

Yeah.

And what's this, some fancy lunch?

Why are there only two plates?

Because you're away on a business trip.

Well I'm not anymore.

Yeah. So what's the deal, your husband goes away

on a business trip and the drinking begins?

Hello.

Since when did you start

wearing perfume at home, huh?

Since when did you start getting

dressed up and wearing perfume?

Why are you clamming up?

Caught red-handed, are you?

The potato casserole is burning.

I don't like potato casserole.

I wasn't making it for you.

Oh, the casserole's not for me.

Nice.

Your husband's on a business trip and the

parties begin, potato casseroles and all.

And who was talking about trust, huh?

Yeah, go on your business trip, it's fine.

Trust, right?

So what, fancy lunch today,

fancy dinner tomorrow,

and the day after that...a

fancy breakfast in bed?

TARAILA!!! Stop being ridiculous.

I can stand your stupidity, but I will not put up

with these idiotic jealousy attacks of yours, got it?

You will not embarrass me

in front of my ex-husband.

Now listen.

You will not step foot in the bedroom not

just for 2 days, but all week. Is that clear?

You just be quiet. Here you think...

Laimute... Laimute!

It's too bad you don't

like potato casserole...

I do.

I like it a lot.

More.

What are you saying, Ramutis?

Really?

Listen, I understand how it hurts for you.

Ramutis, don't say anything

else, I understand.

Ramutis, be quiet, let

me talk, I'll tell you.

I'll tell you what I feel for you.

I feel that you have to get out of here.

If it's torture for you to be with

her, run away and don't look back.

Ramutis, just go.

If you can't be yourself,

it means you can't live.

And as your best friend, I want you to have a

beautiful life and find what your heart desires.

Ramutis, there's only

one thing I ask of you.

Promise you won't forget me. You promise?

Thanks.

Hey, Ramutis?

Get up.

Listen, if you want to smoke, let's smoke.

Let's smoke.

What about the ashes?

We'll clean up later.

I have a lady friend.

Really?

I'm happy...

We met at the prison hospital.

I was sick and she took care of me.

She's a nurse. Nurse Vilija.

She has a daughter, not married.

Some guy got her pregnant

and then left her.

Well, you know, I fell

in love at first sight.

Ah, but you won't understand.

I know what love at first sight is.

Promise me that what I say now stays

here, under this exhaust hood. Agreed?

Agreed.

Will you have a shot with me?

Always.

Well, to us.

But nobody nobody.

15 years ago, a friend and I

were on vacation at the shore.

And one night we stopped

by the Wild Snail Caf,

I don't know, maybe that caf isn't even

there anymore, and I saw this girl there.

She was, well, you say that I don't

know what love at first sight is,

but I'm telling you, I just saw her and, and, and

that's it, I just froze, you have no idea, I saw...

that's it, you just know that's the person you

want to spend the rest of your life with,

the person you want to die with, you know?

And so for like five days, we were, you know,

inseparable, we went everywhere together.

And you know, it's like when you get goose

bumps, you're almost afraid to touch, you know.

Really, really, and she... and one night, you

know, me and my friend were sitting there,

and there was this huge

fight and we got beat up,

I still even have a scar, and I

ended up in the hospital and...

and I never saw her again...

Get out of here, Mr. PE,
