I Think I Love My Wife Page #11

Synopsis: Brenda wears comfortable, cotton panties; Nikki wears sheer, lacy thongs. Richard Cooper is in the middle, with a good job in Manhattan, a house in the suburbs, and two cute children with Brenda, his intelligent, good-looking wife who's a teacher. But there's no sex in this seven-year marriage, so Richard's bored. Into the mix walks Nikki, a sexy, sassy, single friend he's not seen in years. Nikki has problems and finds a reason to stop at his office every day. He tries to help, they have some fun, and he doesn't mention Nikki to Brenda. His work and reputation suffer. Is he about to scratch the seven year itch? What choices does Richard have?

# How come we don't

f*** anymore? #

You the one on strike!

# It's been a

mighty long time #

You out of your f***ing mind!

Careful, nigga.

Baby, I still want you.

And I've wanted you for so long.

But every time I touch you...

#You act like I did

something wrong #

- # No, I don't #

- Yes, you do!

I don't want to leave.

# Neither do I #

I still want you!

# I'm gonna cry #

Where are the kids?!

I told you, they're gone.

# In that case,

we should be making love #

#All night long,

all night long #

# Hee... #

#All #

BOTH:

# Night long... #

(saxophone wailing)

RICHARD:

When I told Nikki that my life

wasn't about what I wanted, I lied.

I'm not that unselfish.

I know exactly what I want.

I want a woman that'll not only

fight with me,

but who'll fight for me.

A woman I can go to war with,

who'll drag me

and my kids out alive.

A woman that can see

the good in me

when I can't even see it in myself.

You know, Nikki was

a great fantasy,

but in reality...

I think I love my wife.

The last thing of the story

is realistic to know.

MR. BOYD:

Will you marry me?

HANNAH:

Yes.

(CROWD CHEERING)

I wanna be married someday.

Me, too.

The end.
