Married People, Single Sex Page #5

What about me?

i tried not to

Picture anything.

That way i wouldn't be

Disappointed.

[sighs].

are you?

no.

Oh, this is so awkward.

I know what you sound

Like coming.

I don't even know what

Your favorite color is.

white.

great to know.

Mine is blue.

I've been so incredibly

Busy lately.

Writing reports mostly.

I think writing is probably

The loneliest thing

In the world.

[creaking].

hello, meg.

Music.

[breathing heavily].

meg, no.

i want to.

Let me touch you.

this is for you.

This is for you.

It's all for you.

[panting].

Open your eyes, meg.

I want to see them.

[moaning].

I want to see you, meg.

I want to see you.

I want to see you.

I want to see you, meg.

I want to see you.

[gasps].

[moaning].

[gasping].

i can't believe how soon

I can do that.

oh god, no.

No, no, no.

God!

You look so beautiful.

You get all shiny

Like a pony.

[footsteps].

shouldn't you be home

With your wife?

yeah, well,

Both the little ones

Are in bed and shelley

Is probably off watching

"the love connection"

Right about now.

okay, come on.

[footsteps].

fear of age.

No, it's more than that.

I've had chance

To fool around.

It's wrong.

You gotta consider the kids.

It's not fair to them.

I've got two of them.

My father walked out on me

When i was still in

Grade school

And i vowed never to let

That happen to my kids.

Anyway, you get married

And you make promises

To each other, vows.

Sometimes when a person

Doesn't live up to

Their end of the bargain

And you end it,

I guess, i mean,

If you can't fix it...

I'm not trying to fix it.

Sometimes i think it's

Just beyond repair.

what are you doing?

you said i could.

no.

What i say and what

I choose to do are two

Different things.

No.

richard, i want you.

Come on.

I've been a good girl.

i'll be the judge of that.

ow.

Ow, that hurts.

it's supposed to hurt.

Hey, did i say you can

Kiss me?

kiss you?

I'm trying to bite you.

Please, richard,

I want you so bad.

how bad?

[water pouring].

I love you, just--

Some music?

Music.

[moans].

i've never been

Unfaithful to my wife.

It shows.

[sighs].

Well...

Maybe you should go home.

Thanks for the tea.

Ooh, food!

Ooh, ooh.

Remember that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you tell me something

To remember it..

She stopped caring.

you want chopsticks?

chopsticks.

I am a great cook?

A chinese restaurant?

[laughs].

For you.

I would love to wake up

Next to you and--

Should--

I wouldn't have to

F*** you, okay?

Just hold you.

All night.

Where the hell

Were you last week?

seattle.

how was seattle?

it was very wet.

So am i.

[paper rustling].

Why is it you never

Let me kiss you

Or touch you?

i'm afraid if we...

I'm afraid if i...

I'm afraid you might

Disappear.

so, what are we exactly?

I mean we're not lovers.

friends, i guess,

Very good friends.

friends do not do

What we do.

Why don't you stop trying

To make this less than

What it is?

just what is that, meg?

i dont know.

damned if we know.

Damned if we don't know.

Music.

[keys jingling].

[glass breaks].

sh*t!

Gotta love it.

[water running].

oh, mike!

let me see your face.

you scared me.

Get out!

let me see your face.

mike, we shouldn't

Be doing this.

come on.

You're just so beautiful.

mike, no.

This is wrong.

You got to stop this.

[moaning].

i remember the time when...

Getting married

And spending the rest

Of our lives together was

The greatest thought

In the whole world.

And now...

Getting a divorce is...

Is the only way we can

Stay friends.

[water running].

mike, do you hear me?

i heard you.

Beth...

won't you sign the papers?

how can you say that

After what just happened?

Come on.

Maybe we're making

A mistake.

mike, you don't get it,

Do you?

You said we are not

Getting back together.

It's just sex,

Not a relationship.

[door slams].

is she out again?

no, she's asleep.

I checked in on her

Right before i called.

hello?

Who were you talking to?

please don't take it so hard.

what, am i supposed to be

Happy about this?

i don't expect you to be.

I tried to warn you.

Even beth did.

oh, so you're still

Seeing beth.

That's it.

i never stay in anyones

Place for a long time.

It just has to be this way.

am i just some kind of toy?

Is that what it is?

Just some kind of little

F***ing game that you play?

no.

then tell me.

What is it?

Just tell me what it is.

I will change.

it's not--

richard--

no.

It's not you, shelley.

It's something in me

And i can't change.

I don't want to change.

so that's it.

Just walk away?

It's easier just to

Pick me up,

Throw me on the ground,

Squash me and walk

The f*** away, isn't it?

that's your version.

f*** you!

It's your version.

F*** you, richard.

F*** you!

How dare you,

F***ing a**hole!

[weeping].

you're awake, fran.

I know you're awake.

You're always awake, fran.

do you have a girlfriend?

do i have a wife?

are you seeing somebody?

do you want to talk

About this?

I mean do you really want

To talk about this?

yes.

Artie, i just can't be

Who you want me to be.

I just can't go where you

Want me to go.

Not right now anyway!

fran, listen,

You've got to let go.

i can't!

you have to forget, fran!

You got to forget.

It's killing us, okay?

i'm your husband.

I'm your husband.

You're my wife.

i'm sorry but i can't!

I can't!

No!

okay, fran, okay.

So you tell me what

You want to do now.

You just tell me

Right now, and i mean now.

Music.

i just need time, artie.

f*** the time!

F*** it!

There ain't anymore

Time, fran.

Do you want to just...

Do you just not want

To feel anymore at all?

Is that it?

sometimes.

bullshit, fran.

Bullshit!

It's most times and

I feel...

I feel very sorry for you,

Fran, very sorry.

[panting].

i feel...

Like i'm being punished.

Artie really wanted

To make love and i felt

So beautiful being pregnant,

So we made love

And there was blood

And we lost the baby.

All i really wanted to be

Was somebody's mother,

Somebody's wife

And somebody's mother.

Music.

[sobbing].

i'm so sorry.

[crying].

okay.

It's okay.

Its okay.

Oh, jesus christ!

I knew it.

I told you,

You would disappear.

You son of a b*tch,

You're running away.
