Some Velvet Morning Page #4

didn't your heart just drop a little bit?

You thought like, "Aw f***. "

"What the f*** is Fred doing

here?" Tell me the truth.

- It was a surprise.

- A nice surprise?

Yeah, it was surprising. That

was my first...

You caught me off guard, Fred.

That's what happened.

So that was my first reaction,

surprise.

Yeah, not anger, not feeling

sick.

It was nice to see your face. But it's surprising

for you to be here with me like this, it is.

No, I know. I totally agree.

- Okay.

- I mean, I agree with that.

Thanks. Thank you.

But that's what I love about it.

That's why I'm here.

The honesty, the surprise, I

mean...

- Do you?

- Yes! That's why I'm here.

You're seeing me! I wanted to show

you me, for the first time, naked.

This is me.

This is the Fred that I always

wanted to show you.

- I appreciate that.

- Yeah, but I don't think you understand.

I just don't think you get it.

I have not been this person for

a long time.

I mean, maybe not ever.

Or maybe the first time I saw you, that's when.

Maybe not even then. I don't know.

Do you remember that? Do you remember

the first time that I saw you?

When Chris brought you up to the

lake house...

and I was standing there grilling

at the barbecue like an a**hole...

babbling away, talking to you,

making small talk.

and Chris went into the house and

he was talking to his mother?

Do you remember?

And I'm sitting there jabbering

on and on and on...

and I was staring at you and you

were staring at me...

and you had that cute little

smile on your lips.

You just stared into my eyes, and

I don't think you blinked once.

And then you walked away...

and you went into the house...

to find my son.

And I knew then...

that we had to be together, that

I had to be with you.

And that there was nobody more

important, more beautiful...

or worth spending my time with.

I knew that I loved you.

And It's taken me a long time to

get there.

And that's why I've come here.

To get down on one knee and to

tell you how much I love you.

It's been four years, though.

I know. I know.

Do you? Okay, just so you do.

I do.

Well, people...

You know, people can do...

Things can be...

Yeah, people do funny things.

Yeah. I know.

Why are you doing this to me

today, Fred?

'Cause I don't feel the same way

for you.

Not in the same way that you're

saying.

I don't. Not anymore.

- You don't?

- No.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Really, Fred, though, how could

I, you know? It's been so long.

How is it possible? I mean, how

really...

I'm sorry.

You know, you said sorry before and

it didn't sound so great then.

And now it just sounds repetitive. So could

you come up with something else maybe?

Oh, God. Please don't be mean

right now.

Well, what do you want me to be?

I just left my other life for

you.

For you!

- I didn't ask you to.

- No, I know that.

Okay, you're right. I'm aware of that

little crack in my f***ing armor...

or my plan, or whichever one of those

f***ing things gets a crack in it.

But still, what I did was I left

it for you. Okay?

- And, Fred, it's very flattering.

- Oh, come on!

Don't f***ing do that! Don't be

condescending to me!

I am not a f***ing toddler!

All right? Things are not going

great for me right now, okay?

So all I'm saying is that I threw away,

I pissed away my other life for you.

I'm sorry I didn't call first.

- Stop.

- Stop? No, I can't stop. I can't.

So hang on to your hats, okay?

Hang on to them!

Who the f*** says that anyway?

Is it the cowboys?

Not like the football team or

the whatever. Not those.

Like the wild west guys that go... Is it them?

I don't know. F*** them.

- I'm not sure.

- You what?

I really do have to go make a call because

I'm actually close to being late.

Are you really? That's okay, I'm sure that

he'll wait for you. He'll have an appetizer.

That's not the point. It's the

right thing to do.

The right thing. To call? Is that how you do it now?

It's done with a call?

- And I'd do the same for you.

- You would? Thank you so much.

God, that's so nice of you.

It's really true what they say about you girls.

You really do have hearts of gold.

F***, Fred! F***! What do you

want me to do!

Seriously, what is it that you

want me to do for you!

What is it? Just tell me what it

is!

Ultimately, I want you to suck

my cock.

But I'm willing to sweet talk

you a little more first.

Gee, thanks.

It's all right. Thank you for being so good

at your job and so goddamned understanding.

Fred, I gotta make a call upstairs.

So you do what you want to do.

- No, no, wait, wait.

- Whatever it is you want to do.

- Wait! Wait! Just...

- No, Fred, no.

- No, no, no!

- Don't stand in front of me like that!

Why not? Why shouldn't I make

things hard for you?

- Stop it. Stop it!

- Why? Tell me why?

- Come here. Sit down.

- No, stop it!

Come on. Sit down. I want to

talk to you.

Look, don't do it. Don't

push me, okay? Don't.

Don't do it. I don't want to be

pushed today, all right?

I want you to sit down and I want

you to talk to me. Sit down.

- Or what?

- Or what?

Really? Don't push me. You don't

want to know "or what".

Sit down.

- Now, do you need to make a phone call?

- I'm sitting.

- Good.

- I'm sitting.

So go ahead, make your call.

I have to go upstairs and make

it from the land line...

'cause otherwise he won't recognize

the number and he won't answer.

Okay, so go up and get it.

- Can I go now?

- Yeah, go, yeah.

Go ahead. I'll wait here.

- I'm getting up, okay?

- Yeah, get up and go get it, yeah!

Don't be so f***ing dramatic.

You find it?

Did you find your phone?

Use your sexy voice.

Hi, yeah, it's me.

I'm just calling because I'm

gonna be...

I'm running a little bit behind.

Is that okay?

Yeah, what time do they stop

serving lunch?

Do you know what time the

kitchen closes?

"Lunch".

No. No, that was the TV.

Hold on. Let me just turn it

down.

What was that?

That's so true.

We can do whatever we want.

I can't wait, either.

All right, Chris. Okay. Bye.

Bye.

No.

Chris?

No. My Chris?

Yeah.

No way. Seriously, who was that?

It was Chris. I'm meeting him later.

I'm supposed to be there any minute.

Well, you better get going then.

F***.

- You told me to call from here.

- You could've resisted, all right?

Put up a little fight, at least

for my sake.

That's bullshit. You bullied me into it.

Now you can't act all hurt when...

This is unbelievable.

F***! Oh, my God! The irony of

it. I leave his mother today...

to come and be with you, and you're

going out to meet him for lunch!

Oh, my God!

- Sorry.

- No, don't be.

- It's okay.

- Fred.

No. You've broken the spell.

Thank you.

When you're settled, maybe we

can talk about this...

and, you know, have a...

- There's another one.

- What?

Another half sentence that you

have no intention of finishing.

- No, it isn't.

- Really?

Okay, all right, all right,

let's finish it then. Okay?
