Me Without You Page #3

...when they were together,

but they're not together anymore.

I can't imagine you

ever being a child.

You know, Marina,

I'm gonna have to be careful.

If this gets out,

you could be in trouble.

I won't tell a soul. I promise.

-Clandestine is my favorite word.

-All right.

What's your favorite word?

Sleep.

I'm an old man, you know.

-No, you're not.

-No?

No, you weren't an old man last night.

Well, that was last night.

-What?

-Oh, Jesus, that coke was amazing.

I just need a little sleep.

Just a little bit of sleep.

I'll call you. Call you later.

Hi.

Come back to me in dreams

That I may give pulse for pulse

Breath for breath

Speak low, lean low

As long ago, my love, long ago

I always loved that stanza

when I was young.

Do you ever feel excluded from

Rossetti's mysticism, being Jewish?

That's right. You wanted

to be Catholic, didn't you?

Well...

...I think you're very interesting

and very Jewish, and both are possible.

Holly, I don't think

this is a good idea.

No. No, I know.

No, I'm sorry.

Don't be upset. Please, don't.

No, don't be upset.

No, please don't. It's okay.

All right.

Selfish, shallow b*tch!

You're about as deep

as a f***ing coma victim!

You're gonna die

a bachelor's lonely, old slut!

Keep your crap, shallow paintings

because they're crap!

It's better than Dynasty.

-F*** off!

-F*** off!

-Do you think I'm shallow?

-Of course not.

-Just because I don't read books.

-lt doesn't mean you're not soulful.

-What, you mean soulful like Holly?

-Who mentioned Holly?

Committed to causes?

You know, she's a really scared person.

And she thinks too much.

I mean you can't experience things

by reading about them in novels.

-You know, we've got to really be careful.

-I know.

I won't say a word.

I just....

If you want to see me again....

Of course I want to see you again.

God, you look so beautiful. Strange.

I'm so glad you dumped Stuart, Holl.

He was always weird.

Do you feel guilty about Ben?

Yeah, a bit, I suppose.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe we should all have one person.

Like a real soul mate.

Marina?

What?

Nothing.

-You always do that.

-No, it's nothing.

-I'll tell you another time.

-Tell me.

You're so annoying.

She just never changes

or wants me to change.

I used to be, God,

so in love with her brother, Nat.

Talk about romantic projections.

Christ.

I would just melt

when he came into the room.

I probably still am in a way.

In that yearning, impossible, Proustian--

Jesus, Holly.

Do you ever stop talking?

Daniel.

Let's do it here, right now.

You could just...

...pull up my skirt and throw me down

in these leaves.

Holly.

-What? What's the matter?

-Nothing.

Nothing's the matter. Will you stop

asking me what the matter is?

I just don't feel like f***ing

in a crummy, wet wood. That's all.

I'm sorry.

There's a Bergman

on at the Duke of York's tonight.

You don't really like that sh*t, do you?

Sometimes I do, actually.

All right. Which one do you like best?

Wild Strawberries.

That's the one that's on tonight.

Which other one do you like,

Miss Bergman fan?

Lots of them.

That one about death.

The black and white one.

Oh, f*** off.

Stay.

No, I've got a tutorial.

Marina, have you seen my necklace?

Is that my top you're wearing?

No, it's new.

Why are you looking at me like that?

You've really changed,

you know that?

-What?

-I said, you've really changed...

...do you know that?

I'll go then, shall l?

F***ing better.

-Nat.

-Surprise.

God.

Come in.

So you've left her in Paris.

She's still in Paris?

-Yeah.

-God, what a b*tch.

You did the right thing.

Love stinks. Doesn't it, Holly?

You just never know with some people...

...especially the quiet,

mousy, passive ones.

-lsabel wasn't at all quiet and mousy.

-Poor Nathy.

You can come out with me tonight.

I'll look after you.

-Gonna come?

-Yeah.

Daniel, it's Holly.

Hi, I'm--

Look, I can't make it tonight.

I just realized how much work

I have to catch up on.

-She seems a bit weird tonight.

-How can you tell?

It's really nice

to see you again, Holl.

-What?

-It's really nice to see you again.

Good. Thanks.

I often wondered how you

were getting on, you know?

Right. Thanks.

What?

Oh, what a bunch of wankers.

Come on. Let's dance.

F*** off.

-Christ, Marina.

-She's f***ing her tutor, you know.

Holly. Tutor. F***ing.

-What are you telling me for?

-I just thought I would.

Anyway, you two?

It would be like incest.

What?

He's so old. She's so into him.

It's pathetic.

-Oh, it's the coldest house on the planet.

-I know.

So where do you want to sleep?

There's....

There's Marina's floor or her bed,

until she gets in or who with.

There's a sofa in Sophie's room,

but she's in there with some drummer.

Anywhere's fine.

Let's finish this first.

I can't believe how much

you've changed.

Is that good?

-Yes.

-Oh, thanks a lot.

I'm gonna get in too.

I can feel TB coming on.

I'll crash in Marina's room

when you want to go to sleep.

I can never get to sleep.

Marina puts her head down

and she's out.

Yeah, I used to stick things

up her nose when we were on holiday.

Draw moustaches

on her in felt-tip pen.

She never used to wake up.

-I had no idea you were close friends.

-I don't believe you.

Girls were never ever interested

in me before. This is new for me.

I don't know what to do.

I'm an a**hole.

Is that what you want me to say?

I'm an a**hole?

Okay.

You think I enjoy having you

come here at 2:
00 in the morning...

...screaming and throwing things?

That's ridiculous.

I mean, come on.

What we had was sex.

Listen, f*** off, just f*** off!

Shall I read you a soothing story?

Crime and Punishment. Perfect.

"Raskolnikov pulled the axe quite out,

swung it with both arms...

...scarcely...

...scarcely conscious of himself...

...and almost without effort...

...almost mechanically, brought

the blunt side down on her head.

He seemed not to use

his own strength in this...

...but as soon as he had

once brought the axe down...

...his strength returned to him."

Hello.

Hello.

You've still got your hat on.

Where are you going?

It feels weird.

Yeah, I know.

Holly...

...are you seeing someone?

Not Stuart.

No, I was.

Should I not be now?

It's up to you.

Do you want me not to be?

Do you want me

to want you not to be?

I think so.

-You know I do.

-Don't be, then.

-All right.

-Don't be.

Don't be.

Well, I should go and finish it then.

Go on then.

-Go on.

-I can't!

-Promise. Promise that you'll call me.

-I will.

How did it go? You all right?

What happened? What did he say?

He-- He was with her.

-Who?

-Marina.

They were-- He was with her!

What? The f***ing bastard!

I just--

I can't-- I can't believe it.

I don't understand

why she would do this to me.

Listen. Forget about him.

He's obviously a wanker.

He's not a wanker. I just--

I just can't believe it.

She must hate me.

She must just hate me.

She didn't even want him until I did.
