It's Complicated Page #5

Give it more life.

What do you think?

What did you do,

something to your hair?

No, I don't think so.

Something about you

looks different.

A little more caliente?

Caliente?

(CHUCKLES)

You see it, Eddie?

Whatever it is,

it's working.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(CHUCKLES) Hello? Oh, no,

I didn't do this again.

(PANTING) Adam,

I'm so sorry.

My mind is just...

Forgive me.

You know, if I were

your shrink, I'd say

maybe you don't really

want to build this addition.

Oh, no, no,

that's completely not true.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Oh, I like it already.

Yeah, it's feeling really good.

So, this becomes your office.

Uh-huh.

You come down

your new hallway.

- The windows all along here.

- Okay.

Great. Love it!

And from here to there... Well,

let me get the door for you.

(LAUGHS)

Your kitchen.

We're in the eating area now.

How's the size feel?

Good.

Right now, we're at

either end of the table.

(CHUCKLING) Oh!

Well, it feels perfect!

I thought so, too.

Yeah. Oh!

(EXHALES)

This is heaven!

It's gonna be cool.

You wanna go upstairs?

(GASPS) Oh!

So if you were lying in bed,

this would be your view.

Oh!

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Oh, gosh!

- Are you all right?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

I'm fine. I'm...

JAKE:
(WHISPERING) Janey?

Call me.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

(AGNESS GROANS)

AGNESS:
Jake!

Coming!

What were you

doing in there?

Going to the bathroom.

The toilet isn't flushed.

Yes, it did.

Why were you in the shower

with your clothes on?

(CHUCKLING) What are

you talking about?

I heard the shower

door close, Jake.

What do you have,

x- ray ears?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

(PANTS) What's up, Pedro?

Jake took a shower

with his clothes on.

(FORCED CHUCKLE)

Oh, Pedro, darling.

Well, what's he

talking about?

I don't speak Pedro.

That's your department.

Don't go in the kitchen, P.

I broke something.

Yo, can you help?

Yo, can you?

That looks amazing.

(LAUGHS) It's called

croque-monsieur.

It was the first thing I learned

to make when I was living in Paris

because the ingredients

are really, really cheap.

When did you

live in Paris?

When I was in

my early 20s.

I went there to take

a six-day pastry class,

and I ended up

staying a year

working as an apprentice

in a bakery.

Wow, that's brave.

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you for taking

my 47 e-mails

and turning them into

something so beautiful.

You are rapidly becoming

one of the most appreciative

clients I've ever had.

(CHUCKLES) I don't know

what it is but I...

I'm always surprised when

I can count on someone.

(SIGHS)

- Really?

- (LAUGHING) Yeah.

I know it's none of my

business, but I was just

trying to figure out why

someone like you is divorced.

And what did

you come up with?

Something in the "you're

too nice" department.

That, and my wife fell in

love with my best friend.

- Oh! No.

- Ex-best friend.

We were on a biking trip, he

and his wife and me and my wife,

through Tuscany, and on

the last day of the trip,

they announced that

they were in love.

(EXHALES) How awful!

Not a great

plane ride home.

Oh! I can just imagine.

Sitting there

for hours and hours

with your wife,

who you know is...

Oh, that's rough.

Well, actually,

they went on to Venice.

I flew home with Carol,

that's his ex-wife.

And you can't imagine what it's

like sitting next to someone

who's crying on a plane

for 10 straight hours.

(CHUCKLES) I don't blame her.

I'm talking about me.

(LAUGHS)

But anyway,

they're married now,

and it's pretty much

an ongoing awful thing.

But you and your ex,

when he stopped by

the other morning

for coffee,

I thought, "Wow. That's the

way it's supposed to be."

You two really seem

to have it figured out.

Well... Yeah. We're not as

figured out as you'd think.

(ADAM AND JANE LAUGHING)

I hope you don't think that

I've been interrogating you,

but I know what it's like

to have an ex who's remarried

and not have that much

going on in that area.

I mean,

do you date ever? Or...

Oh, constantly, actually.

(CHUCKLES)

Constantly? Really?

Yeah. Everyone I know

or have ever known

has fixed me up

and sometimes

I just meet women.

I don't really know

how it happens, but...

(CHUCKLING) But

no girlfriend yet?

Not yet.

Mmm-hmm.

Just like dating.

Actually, I find it

really stressful.

You know, the last time I was

in the dating world was 1978.

(CHUCKLES)

And it's so much more

complicated these days.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, I know.

I can't tell you

how nice it is

to have a conversation

with a woman

and have the pressure off,

not to mention a home-cooked...

(CHUCKLES) That was

a compliment.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Do you have a guy in your

life at... At the moment?

- No.

- No?

(CHUCKLES) No.

(JANE LAUGHING)

(CHATTERING)

(LAUGHS MOCKINGLY)

(EXCLAIMS)

This was so nice

and relaxing.

And the lavender ice cream was

the best dessert of any sort

I've ever had,

like, in my life.

Aw! Oh! Thanks.

I always make ice cream

when I can't sleep,

so I'm glad someone

was here to eat it.

(CHUCKLES)

Great getting to

know you a little.

Yeah, it was really fun.

Well...

Bye. Okay.

(CHUCKLES) Bye.

Bye.

(CHUCKLES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(CHUCKLES) What? I'm coming.

(GASPS)

O.M.G., I thought

he'd never leave.

(EXHALES)

- Hello, Jane.

- (CHUCKLES) Hi.

You're looking very

beautiful tonight.

(MOANS)

Oh, I love when you

smell like butter.

What are you doing here?

- Missed you.

- Mmm-hmm.

It's 9:
00. Where does

your wife think you are?

Yoga. Shall we do some

downward-facing dog, perhaps?

(CHUCKLING)

Not tonight, big guy.

(CHUCKLES) Is it really

necessary for you

to always say no

before you say yes?

I'm not gonna think

less of you, you know.

Really, Jake.

I'm a little tired

and I was gonna

take a bath, and just...

Okay. So we'll

just hang out.

(GASPS) Is that

croque-monsieur?

Yeah.

- Whose plate is this, yours or his?

- (CHUCKLES) That's mine.

(MOANS)

My God! Just like

I remember it.

Don't you ever eat

at your house?

Pedro dictates most meals,

and he has a very

...limited palate.

- Mmm-hmm.

What kind of

ice cream is that?

Lavender honey.

Not sleeping?

Not at all. You?

- Never slept better.

- Mmm-hmm.

And my digestion is

finally back on track.

You've turned my world

right-side up, Jane.

You know what

that means, don't you?

(SIGHS HEAVILY) No.

That I've never really known

how to live without you.

You know, maybe we should

be growing old together.

(CHUCKLES) I hate to tell you, big

guy, we already grew old, apart.

What is with the "big guy"?

Is it because I'm fat, or

is it a term of endearment?

(CHUCKLING) I have no idea why I keep

saying that. I'm sorry. I'll stop.

Thank you.

I love how quiet

it is in your house.

Mmm.

I have no quiet

in my life. Ever.

Well, you live

with a 5-year-old.

Yes. And let's

not forget Pedro.

(LAUGHS)

What are you saying, exactly? What's

going on over there at your place?

(EXHALES)

My marriage is
