How to Steal a Wife Page #5

---

Are you listening to what you're saying?

What's wrong with your head? What money?

Laimute, wait a minute.

Now he's got that woman,

that Vilija or whatever,

so they're going to want to

spend some time together,

sleep together, maybe do

a thing or two together.

But the four of us can't

live here together, so...

Ramutis, either you figure

this situation out like a man,

or I'm leaving this home like a woman.

To get some rest.

OK, OK, Laimute.

When Valdas comes home I'll

talk to him, man to man.

Because really, we can't go on like this,

so, well, I'll demand that he leaves, OK?

Promise?

Promise.

But now...

I deserve an advance.

A tiny little advance...

You choose. There or there...

OK. I'll wait for you there.

We'll make like Pinnocchio.

Hello, the royal suite has been reserved by principal

Ramutis Taraila and his wife Laima Tarailiene.

May I come in?

Laimute?

Laimute...

Laimute, the most beautiful of all...

Laimute, Laimute, Laimute... Laimute?

We'll just stay a few minutes, we'll

chat and that's it, come on, come on...

OK, OK...

We need to replace this...

So this is where I live.

You live here.

Laimute? Ramutis? Hey, is anybody home?

We're coming in.

Don't shout, maybe they're sleeping?

They're not sleeping.

My ex-wife. Laimute.

Hello.

And this is Ramutis, Vilija.

Where's Laimute?

In the shower.

In the shower. We'll stand here and wait.

So maybe... while we're waiting...

Hello.

Hi Ramutis.

Hi Vilija.

It's been ages.

Listen, how about some tea, huh?

Ramutis makes great Indian tea.

Ramutis?

Or if you don't want tea, that's fine.

How about some music?

I'll put on some music.

15 years, 4 months and 3 days.

That's a pretty long time.

And Ausrele will be 15 soon.

Maybe we should take this off?

Is that right...

Who's Ausrele?

Who's Ausrele, come on, Ramutis...

Ausrele...

She used to say:
"Where's

my dad, where's my dad?"

I'd say I don't know.

How was I supposed to know?

I love you, I love you, I'll

marry you, I'll marry you.

No, I got beat up and they

put me in the hospital.

Right, right.

They beat him up.

Badly.

So why didn't you tell me?

How could I have told you?

You disappeared.

You just up and disappeared.

Just like that.

You...

Dad...

Vilija, Vilija!

What's going on in here?

What's going on?

What was that noise?

Where?

Here! Where's Ramutis?

Here.

Valdas, where's Ramutis?

What?

I'm asking where Ramutis is.

He left.

Left?

And where are you off to?

I just got back.

Wait.

Explain this to me. What's going on?

Where's Ramutis?

He left.

Where did he go?

- He got pregnant and left.

- Who got pregnant and left?

So she came, she's looking.

Valdas, would you please explain all this to

me normally, I don't understand anything.

Where is Ramutis and who got pregnant?

She's standing there, I'm watching,

I moved away, and she says,

you, me, and that's it...

Who "you"?

- Do you get it?

- I don't get anything.

Exactly.

What do you mean exactly? Tell me

what you're talking about. Please.

She was standing there and then left.

That's it.

Nothing.

Daughter.

Who?

I think she has a family.

So I paid the bill and saw Vilija home.

So Vilija is already, well, ready?

Listen, I'm really sorry that

everything turned out this way.

- You're really not angry?

- No, no... PE teacher... No, no...

Just imagine, we come back to her place,

and this 15 years old girl opens the door.

It's Ausra.

Daughter.

Mr. PE, so you're a father.

Congratulations.

Pretty, blond, with hair

to here, and freckles.

So she looks like you?

Yeah, very, very, beautiful, beautiful,

she really does look a lot like me.

She saw me, you know, gave me a hug,

and started to shout "dad, dad".

And then she ran to the corner,

over by the TV, and started crying.

Then Vilija saw her and she started crying,

then her mom came down and she

started crying. All three of them.

- They're all crying.

- Yeah.

Nice.

Nice, but you know, at that moment

my conscience really got to me,

I really want to help them out

somehow, they deserve a better life.

I want to help them financially somehow.

I'm not saying anything, I mean,

they have a nice place and all,

but it would be nice to fix things

up, and... Ausryte's almost 15,

so she's going to get her license soon.

and then it'd be nice to give her some sort

of car, and, well, somehow, you know...

Well you can understand my situation.

That would be nice on your part.

Well, to help... Family.

So that's my situation right now...

I'm, like, and then there's Laimute, life here,

relationships, and there, well, you know... blood...

But you do know, dad, that you

can't go running back and forth.

- You can't be everywhere at once.

- Exactly.

I'd say, maybe you should run away?

Run, run.

Meaning?

Get out of here.

If you need, I'll help you with money.

Wait, wait, wait.

You don't have money, do you?

What do you want in return?

Laima.

Half.

Half of Laima?

The amount.

For Vilija?

For you.

For Vilija?

Half.

Wait, that's ridiculous.

What are you suggesting here?

What, you want me to sell you my wife?

No.

What are you... In general,

what are you talking about?

Save the child.

What child? What do you want,

for me to sell a person?

Get the child out of poverty.

What poverty, what are you talking about?

He's offering me half of the amount.

Are you nuts?

Mr. PE, I'm kidding here.

You know, you spent way too

long in that prison of yours.

What's gotten into you, I was just kidding.

Really, he was kidding.

I don't have that money and I'm not

suggesting we buy or sell anything.

You know who you were living with there,

but I have no idea what kind of

trouble you can stir up here.

Deal again.

But give it some thought anyway.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Can I come in?

Sure.

Ramutis, it's burning.

Sh*t.

I'm sorry for not being dressed like this,

but I really like warming up

my pants when it's cold out.

How are you?

Fine. How about you?

Someone asked me to tell you hello.

Who did?

Who did, Ausrele did.

Thanks, tell her I say hi too.

She asked when you're coming over.

Oh, well tomorrow I have period 6 free,

so I could come over around

1:
30, if that's OK with you.

You were right.

About what?

About Ausrele. About school.

She made up her mind, she's

agreed to go to your school.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Starting in September?

Oh, that's really, really great...

I think so too.

And she might even be in my class. What

kind of grades does she get in PE?

Maybe a B or a C, I don't know.

If it's a C, she'll definitely

get Jermalavicius...

How fast can she run 100 meters?

I don't know how fast

she can run 100 meters.

How can you not know how

fast she runs 100 meters.

How am I supposed to know? Do you

know how fast you can run 100 meters?

Of course. 13:
06 if I'm

wearing racing flats.

Look. Double crease.

Oh, somehow I can never get that right...

Should we give it a try?

Nobody's ever ironed my

pants for me in my life...
