That Old Feeling Page #8

Whoo! Gente del fuego

Sorry!

Gente del fuego

Gente del fuego

Gente del fuego

Ya-hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

River of days

Should we, uh...

Ocean of night Yeah.

We drift away

All of our lives

Years I sailed

Many miles from shore

Until I looked

Ooh. Where'd you learn this?

From a girl.

Oh? All right. My sister.

Look, uh, big surprise.

I mean, women never really

went for me all that much.

Maybe it's your chosen profession.

Nah.

I think it's the things

I say and do.

Well, they're all

lookin' at ya now.

You could have any girl

in this place you want.

No, I can't. Yeah, ya can.

No. I can't.

Oh. Joey.

Look, I know. I'm not stupid.

It is not because

I don't think you're...

I mean, you really

are very, very...

Yeah, thanks. You

don't have to... I do.

It's... It's just, uh...

I'm married.

It's definitely a problem.

I mean, even if I wasn't,

Joey, I...

Our styles are like...

Completely.

Wrong.

We'd drive each other just...

Loony Tunes?

It would never work.

It'd never work.

And go free

One shining moment

The instant

I looked at your face

For one shining moment

For a lifetime

along the way

Oh, my goodness. Huh?

What do you call that? Oh.

One shining moment

The two-day itch?

As long as she's distracted, why

don't we take this as our cue?

To run away? Yeah.

We can't just ride into the sunset.

Where would we live?

Venice, Newark. I don't care.

Don't you think we should at least

say something to our spouses?

Why? We've come this far.

You want to be just totally

irresponsible? Totally.

Unless you don't want... No,

no, no, I just thought...

I was just thinking that maybe we

do sort of owe them something.

You mean you owe Rowena something?

No, no, sweetness.

I would never say

anything like that. Good.

But it does seem like the

gentlemanly thing to do

to tell her it's over

after 14 years.

Why? You were with me 12. You went straight

to Fiji with her and never came back.

That was after I found Alan

luxuriating in my bathrobe.

I beg your pardon.

It was after I found one of Rowena's

bright red hairs in my bed!

The b*tch sheds like a sheepdog.

Lilly. Lilly.

I know. Okay.

But you could have left me

a friggin' note.

Goddamn it, Lillian.

All right. I'm sorry.

I think this is a subject

best left alone forever.

Spoken like the guilty party.

Here we go, huh?

Never mind. No, no, no, no.

You want to talk about

it, darling? No.

Good.

Because I'm not the one

who went on Joan Rivers...

on national television and told

her that "I finally found...

a real man in my life."

Don't you think you could have served

me the papers before you did that?

And don't you think it would

have been utterly fabulous...

if you had asked me for a divorce

before Rowena printed the invitations?

I told you a thousand times

I had nothing to do with that.

You went through with it!

So did you!

You want to go back?

Me? How about you?

You backpedal a mile a minute!

Here we go.

You wanna go back to that nipped

and tucked trophy wife of yours!

You're a witch, Lillian!

Am I? Am I a witch?

Yeah! Take that, you sh*t!

Don't worry. I've been through this 100 times.

There's nothing you can do.

I hate you.

You know what you are?

You are the high priestess

of hysteria!

How dare you?

I'm not hysterical!

You're hysterical. Your veins are bulging!

I hope your sutures pop!

- Come on, you two.

- Get outta here!

I hope your face shrivels up!

I hope your gonads shrivel up and

drop off and make terrible noises!

What is this? It's not, uh...

Okay, it is.

This is about a picture?

N-No. What? Another

picture of my mother?

I was going to. I thought

about it, but I didn't.

Well, I don't believe you.

Molly?

You're demented, Lilly! I

thought you were on my side!

I am on your side! Me drag you?

You're nymphomaniacal!

You were the aggressor! I know why! You

wanted to ruin my beautiful marriage!

Yeah, 'cause you wouldn't trust anybody

that wasn't wavin' a Yale diploma!

If that's what you think,

then you don't know me!

If you were half a man!

I am half a man!

The wrong half! Oh, yeah?

I'm twice the man you'll ever be!

I hate you!

You're a hard-boiled... I'd

like to hard-boil your balls!

Alan, take me home.

Lillian, I just want you to know

I don't hold this against you.

I can completely empathize.

I've been working constantly,

giving to everyone else but you.

I'm actually...

I'm grateful to you for...

reminding me how much

I value our marriage.

I want you to tell me everything I

did wrong that led you to do this.

Molly, I'm sorry

I was so short.

That's... That's okay. I never

should have hired him.

That was a pretty

desperate decision.

I know. I'm sorry.

And I forgive you.

You do? Sure. He didn't

get any pictures.

I think this whole thing is going

to blow over without a trace.

Or is it something fundamental?

Is it something I can't change?

You think my head's too big for my body?

No. But I mean...

I understand

if you want to leave me.

I do. I did get you kind of

unfairly in the first place.

I was pretty ruthless about it.

Oh, but I loved you so much.

And now that it's happened

to me, I have to face myself.

Maybe I deserve this.

Balls, Rowena.

Cut to the chase.

Are we back together? Not

if you keep this sh*t up.

Well, I guess

we missed the plane.

It's all taken care of. I got

us on a flight in the morning.

What happened, happened.

The present is now.

Uh... I'm not going

to wallow, recriminate.

Because we're ventilating.

We're interfacing.

We're really building

from a new foundation.

Sometimes the inner child

just says, "Change me.

I've gone poo. Change me."

Maybe your inner child

just wants to throw a toy.

Where's your room?

Uh, over there.

We have a little time,

if you want to lie down?

Oh, um, uh...

Alan wanted me

to walk his dogs.

So... Yeah.

Okay. Well, I'm beat.

Okay, well,

I'm gonna walk the dogs, so...

Taxi?

No, Rowena. I do not want

to renew our wedding vows.

Dad, it's me.

Oh, hi, Molly.

Come on in.

Came to say good-bye, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

How come you're not

working on your computer?

I like this old thing better.

I always did better work on this.

I thought before I typed.

Look, I, um,

I wanted to apologize...

for intruding on you and Mom

the way I did.

I never should have... You

did me a favor. Really.

Well, it was

none of my business.

I should have let you...

Molly, you were right.

You're always right.

Don't you know you're the only

sane one in this entire circus?

Yeah, well, I...

I've been thinking a lot

about what you said about me.

The Matsons are here.

Just one moment, please, Rowena!

I'm sorry, honey. Go ahead.

What you said

about not settling...

and about having

some fun before...

Daddy, I don't think

I've had very much fun.

No, Molly, honey,

don't listen to me.

You should never listen to me.

Don't you know that by now?

Look at me today.

I'm on the dance floor with this
