That Old Feeling Page #6

Grotesque? Oh,

we don't want to be that.

Oh.

What's going to happen

when you have a fight, hmm?

You know what you're

going to do. I mean...

I know what you're doing with your feet under there.

I don't appreciate it.

Oh, honey, I thought

you wanted us to get along.

Hold a civil conversation, yes.

Flaunt some

perverse affair, no.

Flaunt? Who's flaunting? We haven't

been swinging from the chandeliers.

We went through a lot

of trouble to disappear.

It's rude of you

to dig us up like this.

- They got a point.

- Whose side are you on?

- Theirs.

- All right.

I mean, what are your plans?

Run away? Become fugitives?

We don't have any plans. If we make

them, they might not work out.

Exactly. Oh.

Excuse me for thinking

that occasionally...

people should think through insane

things before they do them.

But then again, if you had

ever done that in your lives,

maybe I wouldn't

be illegitimate.

Honey, that was the '70s.

That is no excuse.

Alan and Rowena are in shreds.

I don't know how

you can do this to them.

These are people you have

lived with for 14 years.

Have you no human feeling?

Molly, we know what

you're saying is heartfelt,

valid and mature.

And to be honest,

it's making us feel

ashamed of ourselves.

But? No buts.

If you'll come upstairs

with us now and help us pack,

we'll go home.

Really?

You'll come too?

Yeah, okay.

Listen, you guys,

I am very sorry...

Honey, don't be sorry.

You've always had better morals

than we've had. Well, thanks.

We left a ton of stuff

in the bathroom.

Why don't you two go scoop that up?

We'll be out of here in no time.

We don't want to forget...

Look around.

Be careful.

Where's that brown suede jacket that we got?

I don't want to forget...

Oh, here it is. And that

little green suit of mine?

I wore it in my last picture.

Hurry up.

Okay, okay. Ow!

Mom, there's hardly

anything in here...

Mother!

Mom!

Oh, they are good.

Can ya...

So what's the problem?

It's jammed.

Oh! Oh! Okay.

Where's the phone?

There has to be ano...

There was.

We've been had, baby.

Well, that's just great.

That is great. It's

like I'm eight years old,

and I'm locked in

my room with a time-out.

Well, you did threaten them.

Someone's going to

come up here, aren't they?

Hi. We don't wish to be disturbed

for the rest of the evening.

We don't want a single soul

to set foot on the floor.

We don't want maid service. We

don't want the weather report.

We don't want those little pieces of

chocolate that you put on the bed.

You understand.

I understand perfectly.

I thought you would.

Wow. Flaunt that testosterone.

Molly!

Hello!

Molly? Can't they hear us?

Hello!

Forget it!

It's a prewar building.

- It's a bomb shelter.

- Hello!

I can't stay here.

Where ya gonna go?

Keith has no idea where I am. I

just can't no-show my honeymoon.

Molly, chill out.

He's gonna think I am insane,

just like the rest of my family.

He's gonna think I'm one of them.

He'll deal with it.

Do you know how lucky I am that

someone normal wanted to marry me?

And now I've just

totally blown it.

People are gonna say, "Have you ever

been married?" I gonna say, "Yeah.

For 24 hours!"

Uh, uh, look, just, uh...

Just take it easy, all right?

I'm gonna get us outta

here, all right? How?

Come on.

What are you doing? Watch this.

Hey, up here, you! Come on! Ha!

There she goes

Ooh! Ooh! Cops!

They hate this.

Piss 'em off.

They'll come up here.

That's very clever.

Hey! Up here!

Some kids are chuckin' fruit.

Yeah.

Whoo! Hey!

You used to do that? Oh, yeah.

I once threw a water balloon

at a priest.

Hey, wait! Where ya goin'?

We're throwin' fruit up here!

What is this? The only two guys in

the whole city that aren't jerks.

Hey! Where are you goin'?

There she goes

- There she goes again

- Oh, my God.

All right, Molly. Let 'er rip.

You'll feel better.

There you go!

Oh! God!

But I just can't contain

This feeling that remains

There she goes

- There she goes

- Go!

Whoo!

There she goes

There you go.

Oh, God! That was good!

So what'll he do to you?

Well, he'll want

to talk about it.

Talk? That's it? Just talk?

Days and nights of talking.

Marathon talking.

About how and why we can

build from a new foundation.

I'll probably go off my nut.

Hey, you two.

Oh, it's been some years,

all right. Where ya been?

It's good to see

the two of you together.

I didn't think

you were gonna make it.

I guess we did cause

a few scenes around here.

Yeah, you cleared

the place out pretty good.

How long you been married now?

It would have... 25 years.

Twenty-five glorious years.

Well, good for you.

Most people just don't want

to put in the work, do they?

Is that all it takes?

Anyway, happy 25th.

You know, I believe

this is your song.

I used to walk with you

Along the avenue

Our hearts were

carefree and gay

How could I know

I'd lose you

Somewhere along the way

The friends we used to know

Would always smile hello

No love like our love

they'd say

Then love slipped

through our fingers

Somewhere along the way

I should forget

But with the loneliness

of night

I start remembering

Everything

You're gone and yet

There's still a feeling

Deep inside that

you will always be

Part of me

So now I look for you

Along the avenue

And as I wander I pray

That someday soon

I'll find you

Somewhere along the way

Somewhere along

The way

Yeah.

And this is from someone that you

expect to be a mature person.

It's unforgivable. That's all.

Thanks for seeing me home. At

least someone's a gentleman.

Am I? One of the last.

Then why am I being treated

so contemptuously?

It's 3:
00 in the morning.

She can't pick up a phone?

Have another drink.

No. No, I...

- Come on!

- What the hell?

I'm beginning to understand

how you feel.

Oh, you can't.

You can't possibly imagine...

what it's like to be somebody's

ex-wife in this town.

Even if it comes to that, which it

won't, Rowena, you're successful.

You invented the Greek Revival look.

You're in demand.

They're probably ripping my card

out of every Rolodex as we speak.

Rowena, that's ludicrous.

You are one of

the most beautiful women...

that I've ever seen.

You think so?

Mmm. Yes.

Uh, your weddin' rings.

Left them on the sink.

Thank you.

Hey, don't worry. Your parents aren't

going to leave us up here forever.

Hey, you want some water?

Yeah.

I'm sure they'll spring us

by morning, you know.

Thanks.

No bubbles or nothin', but...

How do you know I like bubbles?

I could tell you,

but I think you'd get mad.

At this point,

I really doubt it.

Okay. That night your mom took

you out to dinner on your 21st?

I was on the ledge.

How? We were four stories up.

You don't believe me?

Okay. You were

wearin' this, um,

this white clingy

dress thing with a...

low cut...

Yeah, you look

really good in that.

How come you don't

wear that now?

If you really want to know, it's because
