in shaving my legs.

And I'm pretty sure James

would not notice either way

Who am I shaving my legs for?

Love in marriage.

It's kind of depressing.

Sometimes I think, after 10 years ...

Who's gonna take a really active interest

in whether I shave my legs?

At least after all this time I like James.

Is it worth trading all that in for...

Something exciting with someone

I may not like in 10 years?

I do not know.

Sometimes I just want something new.

New things are shining.

New things get old.

Well, that's right, new things get old ...

Just like the old things did.

I f***ing hate you more than

anyone I've ever met

in my f***ing life!

Although I do not like to swear

I admit that I hate completely.

I need a drink.

It's two in the afternoon.

You sure will

sit in a public place ...

Not ashamed ... after

what did you do in the pool?

You are infinitely hateable.

Let's get Martinis.

- Drink.

- You drink.

You first.

I do not want to get drunk with you.

I'm impressed by your consistence.

I want ...

You want ...?

I want to know ...

I want to know what you do to me.

- Wow.

- I just said that.

You just said that.

I just kissed the top of your head.

Ever so gently...

- You did?

- Yes.

And then ...

I kissed your eyelids ...

They flattered underneath my lips.

- Just a little.

- A little ...

And ... very, very slowly ...

I grazed your lips ...

with mine.

But because you're married,

I did not dare kiss them.

- No.

- No.

Instead, I worked my way slowly down your neck...

And ... I kissed every inch of it.

And I lingered over...

your birthmark on your left shoulder.

Yeah, that one.

And ...

I smelled you.

I really inhaled and I smelled you.

What do I smell like?

You smell like you do.

Like you smelled on the plane.

The way you smell right now.

A mixture of...

Sweetness ... and ...

... F***.

And then I kissed your breasts.

And I licked your nipples ...

And stayed there for about an hour.

And ... I was gentle at first, but ...

I found out how that worked...

And that ..

You were not that interested in being so gentle.

No?

No.

And then I thought to myself that

I need to find out how she works.

how every part of her works.

And I spent about a week and a half ...

... With your body ...

And ... I began to learn it.

And know it.

Every detail of it.

And ...

I played with you ... ...

Before ... I entered you.

Before I spread your legs ...

And f***ed you hard.

I f***ed you harder than I wanted to.

But I could not hold myself.

And I pulled your hair gently...

While I rocked inside you ...

I f***ed your mouth ...

And every part of you ...

Until we were so intensely fevered

that we could not see straight anymore, and ...

I filled you with my cum...

And ... ...

I told you ... and again

again, "I love you."

I love you.

- So these martinis are ...

- Redundant, I think.

I want to leave.

One thing.

Yes.

Because none of this are actually going to happen ...

Can I make an appointment with you?

What kind of appointment?

I'd like to make a date to kiss you.

My schedule is fairly flexible.

Is it flexible on 30 years?

Thirty years?

I'd like to meet you at the fountain ...

At the lighthouse ... in Louisbourg.

I'd like to meet there.

I'm gonna be 58 ...

I do not know how it will be.

I'm 59.

I would like to see you there,

on this day at ...

On August 5, 2040.

And I 'd like to kiss you.

Until then, I'm married.

But after 35 years of being

faithful to my husband ...

I think ... I'll have

win a kiss.

I'm going home to clean myself up.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- I need a shower.

- You did not shower there?

No.

I think I'm gonna accept

the offer to stay on here.

Okay.

Oh, f***!

Is "katsatore."

Chapter I

the "katsatore" ...

I'm gonna make a whole lot of "katsatore."

I'll put in hot peppers this time.

What do you think it will be like

with hot peppers?

I do not care.

Thanks.

Okay, could you ...

Look ... I do not want to fill

Part of gravy, so ..

Okay, seriously ...

What? Where are you going?

What?

You know that it takes courage to do that?

To do what?

To seduce you.

It takes all my courage,

And you're teaching me to be

utterly and completely without bravery.

It takes courage to

seduce your husband?

Yes.

It takes all the courage in the world.

This is ridiculous.

Is it?

Then why do you always prove that I was right?

When I feel that I'm taking

a great risk to consistently prove ...

that I was right...

... and that it was a greater risk than I can manage.

What ...

the f*** ...

are you talking about ...?

I'm just making chicken.

You're always making chicken.

Yeah.

I'm going for a swim.

I must get out.

Afraid of being afraid?

I'm so sorry ... it was a bad idea.

Okay, okay. Yeah.

Oh, I see.

Yes.

Yes!

No, that makes sense,

that makes perfect sense.

That makes...

Makes very good sense ... ...

Okay, okay ...

No, do not do anything ...

Oh, that wasn't clear to me ...

Yes.

Two months Yes, that's definitely doable.

Okay.

That's very nice, I appreciate that.

Likewise, yes.

Aha ...

Yeah ... Okay.

Yes.

Oh, I did not realize that

you had that option contractually.

Okay.

Okay.

Can I hold

Yeah, I can hold.

What are you doing?

Okay, stop, seriously.

I almost laugh 5 times.

Watch out!

Yes, I am still here. Yes ...

I'm not doing anything... sorry ...

My wife just got home.

And she has a funny outfit on.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Sorry about the pool.

No need to apologize.

I had a good swim.

I have to go.

Okay.

- Today is our anniversary.

- OK. I mean ...

We've only known each other

about 5 weeks, but I. ..

If you want to start celebrating

anniversaries ...

there's a 17-inch Macbook.

How long have you been married?

About five years now.

What does your "husband" do?

Why the quotes?

Because the word "husband"

is hillarious.

He writes cookbooks.

Cookbooks?

Chicken books...

Chicken cook books...

Books ... on how to

cook chicken.

Just chicken?

Yes, just chicken.

- Do you eat a lot of chicken?

- You have no idea!

But he is a really good cook.

If you like chicken...

Do you like chicken?

Sure, When it is in food form.

My house always smells

really good when he's cooking ...

Only ...

the smell of chicken garbage is disgusting.

Daniel, this is Lou.

He is our neighbor.

Hey! Cool! Did you just move here?

I moved in pretty recently.

Just over there.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

Feel like walking?

If we leave now, we make it.

Where are you going?

It's our anniversary.

We every year go to see

a movie at the Royal.

Nice.

Climb up, I'll give you a ride.

No, that's fine.

We'll make it if we walk.

- Are you serious?

- Yes, I am.

I always wanted to climb

in one of them!

Awesome!

Really, yes.

Come on, what are you doing? Come.
