The Days Inbetween Page #6

---

we enjoy sex is because in the past we

needed to have children.

Now the Earth is overpopulated

so there's no need for anymore children.

Sex is no longer about making babies,

it's about having fun

which I assume for most it is already.

You're talking nonsense.

You know what, I'm done talking to you.

I don't like talking to idiots.

We're back after some music.

(pop music)

Hey Pete.

Oh hello, Ms. Winters.

The lifts are working again.

I know, just wanted to say hey.

Oh!

That was a tough show you did today.

You rightly told that guy off.

Oh well.

That's why I enjoy

listening to your show.

I want to hear different opinions

and clever discussions.

I never feel like I'm wasting

my time listening to what you have to say.

Thanks, Pete.

I like my show, and I won't change it.

Good.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

An old friend.

Heard that before.

"I'll see you again soon,"

yeah sure.

Why does this always happen to me?

What do you know? You're a duck.

(doorbell rings)

What do you want?

Can I come in?

No.

Are you upset?

Yes.

You sleep with your ex,

the love of your life,

and you're stupid enough

to tell me about it.

You come over here because...

I really don't know why.

Are you telling me something similar

has never happened to you?

Well... I guess nobody's

really perfect, huh?

When I first started

going with other girls

I thought I always wanted to be the guy

who was cool and popular

and had lots of affairs and encounters.

Wasn't as much fun as you thought, huh?

Nope.

Don't you think it's scary?

How easy it is for us to move on?

Boyfriend gone, along comes another

It's always true love.

It's more like... trial

and error, isn't it?

It's more like error.

(laughs)

Some make you laugh.

Some share your interests,

stimulate your intellect.

Some it's just physical.

Some... there's an attraction

on so many levels.

In films there's always that scene

where the characters realize

there are actually two issues.

There's what they want and what they need.

The thing is the audience always knows

what's going on before

the characters realize it.

Really?

Uh huh.

Can I see you again?

If this were a film,

the audience would already know

what my answer will be.

Okay.

Screen 5.

Enjoy your film.

[intrcom] Action, drama, romance, horror

and science fiction.

The world of movies only at your cinema.

So you're still alive then.

Couldn't even kill yourself properly.

What were you thinking?!

What were you thinking?!

God, everyone has hard times!

Life isn't easy for anyone,

why didn't you just talk to someone?

When you feel sorry for yourself,

no Doctor can help you.

The only person who can

change things is you.

I tried, but I couldn't.

Well sometimes talking helps.

I got you something.

There's two ways to look at things!

Don't tell me you're going to give me

the whole speech about

this cup's always half

full or half empty are you?

No.

Well thank you.

I quit my job.

Really?

Yeah, I realized for

someone who loves films,

Cinema is not the place to be.

You were right about that.

What you do now?

I don't know.

Something else.

And we have time for

one last caller, Alice!

I just wanted to say something about

the discussion you had

yesterday on the recession.

I think that there will

always be times when

everything is too difficult

and we just can't seem to find a way out.

These moments when nothing happens,

when everything seems

to come to a standstill.

It's not really life

that we struggle with,

it's the days in-between.

Sometimes it's about accepting

things that we can't change

and sometimes it's us who need to change.

Life always goes on.

We just have to decide to be a part of it.
