It's Complicated Page #10

Very festive.

Okay, thanks.

It was gift from

my ex-sister-in-law.

I have no idea why I

kept it. Into the pile.

Hey, Jane,

take a look at the pile.

Yeah. Nice!

Ah! The pile's moving.

Murphy, get out of there.

(LAUGHING)

When I was in India

I had this made,

but the guy ran

out of fabric,

so he didn't give me long

sleeves, or short sleeves.

It's weird.

Uh, and kind of girly.

Not what I should

be going for.

How about this?

Gray sweater, very old.

Oh. But cute.

You're sure? Now you

don't have to say that

just because you nixed

the last 20 things.

No. You have to

keep that. It's cozy.

You are helping me

so much, by the way.

Okay, Adam, I feel like...

I gotta pee.

Oh, good. Me, too.

I'll meet you back in 30.

I'm putting you on the desk.

I'm not in there.

Can't hear you!

(HUMS)

(SCREAMS)

No! Mother of... Whoa!

What?

- What are you doing in here?

- I wanted to see you.

- Get it off!

- Why are you naked?

Why do you think?

Oh! I'm gonna be sick!

(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)

Not working! Big close-up!

Oh, the other side.

No, no, no! No!

No! Okay!

Mom! Everybody okay?

What's happening?

Okay. Just let me explain.

The reason that I left

Agness was not just because

my marriage

wasn't working.

I've also fallen in love...

Back in love

with your mother.

Maybe, I never

stopped loving her.

Is this a joke?

I know it's shocking,

but I think this is the best

thing that's ever happened to me.

Your mother and I have been seeing

each other ever since New York.

(SCOFFS) Mom,

is this true?

That part is, but...

I found my way home.

I hope she'll take me back.

Why is everyone crying?

Why isn't this good news?

(SOBS) Because we're still

getting over the divorce.

- Oh!

- Mom,

are you and Dad

getting back together?

No.

We're not.

(SIGHS)

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

Lauren...

(GASPS) No! What...

(EXHALES)

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Glad you're here, boss.

(SIGHS)

Now, Jane, I know you

don't need my advice, but...

(CHUCKLES) I got this one.

Yeah. Yeah,

I know you do.

(EXHALES)

Knowing how to be divorced

is next to impossible.

And sometimes,

over the years,

I have thought that your dad

and I weren't quite finished.

(EXHALES) And as it

turns out, we weren't.

So, I went out of

my comfort zone,

which I found out if you're

really honest with yourself,

isn't all that comforting.

And I experimented

with a part of myself

because I wanted to know

if after all these years

there was still something

there between us.

And was there?

Mmm,

there kind of was. Yeah.

But, Mom,

you have to understand

how bonkers

this sounds to us.

Mmm.

For two people,

who for years couldn't be

in the same room together,

to then have an affair.

I know. It was hard

for me and I was doing it.

I hope you'll forgive me

for confusing you.

And betraying your trust.

But, I did this for me.

And I did it for him.

And I realize that even

though your dad and I

once had

something extraordinary,

now we no longer really

fit together.

But he is a part of me.

He always will be.

So, it's over now? You guys

are back to being divorced?

Mmm-hmm.

For better or for worse.

Come here.

My littles...

Okay, I'm coming in.

(GRUNTS)

JANE:
Oh!

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

ADAM:
So, did you

get the elevations?

ADAM:
Yup,

we like them, too.

Uh-huh. Yeah. No, we

can definitely do that.

And I can have more

for you by mid week.

Sean, uh, can I call you

right back? Someone just...

Thanks.

- Hi.

- Hi.

May I come in?

Uh, sure.

(EXHALES)

I didn't call you last night because

I wasn't sure you'd take the call.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

And then I thought that

could go on for months.

I would've taken the call.

Oh! Okay. Well...

Anyway, it's better to say

these things in person, Adam.

The man that

I was seeing...

I think I'm up to

speed on that part.

Yeah. Anyway, I want you

to know it didn't last long.

You're divorced. I mean,

maybe you can understand

when a marriage ends

there's doubts and hurt and

when you have kids, you just...

Sometimes you wonder

if you did the right thing,

and the moment

presents itself and...

I get it. I could

imagine it. I could.

And I told him that it wasn't

going to work out between us,

but I guess he didn't

hear me or believe me.

And, uh, unbeknownst to me, he

showed up at my house yesterday

and he has left Agness.

Jane, I actually think I

understand what happened.

But, you know, um, I'm

not as macho as I appear.

And I think it's

probably best for us

if we don't get

any more involved.

Because your relationship

with Jake isn't really done.

And I know

you're saying it is,

but he's still

in love with you.

And for everyone's sake, I think

that should probably get resolved.

Wow. So that's how

grownups talk.

Please don't tell me that

you're going to quit my job

and ask Peter

to take over now.

'Cause then I'll never

get to see you. And...

Um... I was thinking of

asking Peter to step back in.

I hope you don't.

Thanks.

(EXHALES)

I'm sorry.

How far back

does that sorry go?

How far back do

you need it to go?

Way back.

Consider it an

all-inclusive apology.

From not being

the husband you needed

to showing up nude on

your bed last night.

Yeah.

(CHUCKLES) What were you

thinking with that move?

That you would

find me irresistible.

Mmm-hmm.

I never considered

the alternative.

Got to love that

about you.

Oh, man.

I can't believe I got up

to bat again and blew it.

You didn't blow it.

(SIGHS)

We blew it.

We blew it

the first time around.

This time we just

should've known better.

Too much time has passed.

Too much has happened.

And you don't think

we could make it right?

Does that mean you thought

it didn't feel right either?

Being with you, Jane,

is the best I'm going to be.

But do you agree it...

It wasn't really...

It was complicated.

Begging for an answer.

I thought it was good.

I wanted it to be good.

Well, it's as close as

I'm going to get, I guess.

(WHISPERING) Do you always

have to be so hard on me?

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

No, I don't.

I don't regret

giving it another shot.

Probably would've been better

if you hadn't been married.

(CHUCKLES)

It may never have happened

if I wasn't married.

(LAUGHING)

Yeah.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

(INHALES)

I don't regret it either.

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

(GASPS)

Good morning.

Good morning.

Did you know it's good luck

to start building in the rain?

- Really?

- Oh, yeah.

It's a well-known, very

good, really lucky omen.

(CHUCKLES)

Good. I can use one.

Would you all like to have

your meeting inside?

It's dry and I have

hot coffee.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Jane, I need

to ask you something.

You don't happen

to have any of those

amazing chocolate croissants,

do you?

(LAUGHS) Oh,

you like those, huh?

I do have incredibly

fond memories of them.

Oh, well,

I don't have any here,

but we could go

into town and get some,

right out of the oven.

Do you want
