The Girlfriend Experience Page #6

I haven't felt with Chris

since the first couple

months of being with him,

and probably

more so than that.

Yeah, I mean,

that's great.

I love that when it

happens with a client--

you meet somebody and there's

like a real connection.

It is different.

A client's different

from a boyfriend.

It's a different kind of relationship.

There's boundaries there

where it's just

a little bit artificial,

whereas what you have

with Chris is really--

it's a real relationship.

This is not the end.

This is not the worst.

I think it's going to get much

worse before it gets better.

If I hear one more thing about

this debate, I'm gonna throw up.

If I hear the word "Maverick" one

more time, I'm gonna throw up.

There could be somebody

who just really wants

the real you, right?

I mean,

the real you.

In other words,

that's a lot of money

for a short

period of time.

You don't want to get

the fake diamond.

You want to get

the real diamond.

What else

do you want to know?

Another

blind alley here.

It's the story

of my life.

So listen, the idea

of going home this weekend

is really starting

to bum me out.

And I'm thinking

a crazy thought.

I'm thinking

I'm not going to.

You have any big plans

this weekend?

Want to spend

the weekend together?

Yeah.

Good. You want

to get out of town?

Okay, I'm gonna take

care of some things

I need to do

on Friday morning.

I'm gonna send

a car for you,

take you to this place in the

Hudson Valley I know about.

It's called Monteverde.

And I'm gonna meet you

up there in the afternoon.

We'll spend the weekend together

and see where this thing goes.

Okay.

It's a plan?

About a year ago I found

these books on personology.

So the first thing

I ask a client--

or one of the first

things at least--

is when is their birthday.

And that helps me see

if this person is going

to put me in danger,

if they're gonna be

a risky business decision.

So you vet them out by seeing

if they have their personal

details on the top of their head?

That's right.

The guy you met--

you mentioned him before--

the guy you met

before your boyfriend

that you were kind of

interested in,

he was interested in you.

How did you handle

that situation?

Let's just say

I handled it.

- Yeah, but--

- Or I am handling it.

You are handling it?

It's still going on?

What's next?

Where have you been?

- I've been out.

- Out where?

I've been calling--

I haven't heard from you in hours.

I just had my phone

turned off.

I've been freaking out,

calling you incessantly.

Get that for me.

It broke.

Where have you been?

I told you.

I was out.

It's freezing

out there.

Doing what?

Seeing somebody.

What do you think?

I think that you've been

gone for the entire day

without any contact.

I thought--

I didn't know if you

got attacked or what.

Are you still gonna take

that trip to Vegas?

I have no idea.

No.

I told them, no,

I'm not going to Vegas

'cause you

couldn't come.

I don't know--

What is going on?

- Maybe you should.

- What does that mean?

I met somebody today.

You met somebody?

Okay, what does that mean?

I want to go away

for the weekend.

I'm sorry, I'm not understanding.

You met somebody today--

a client, right?

You know our rule is you

don't go away with clients.

It's just something

I have to do, you know.

No, I don't know.

I don't even know what you're

talking about right now.

Who is this client?

I've actually

never met him,

but there was

something there.

There was definitely

something there.

Today was the first

day you met him?

I just said that,

didn't I?

This is just hard

for me to suddenly--

you're suddenly going away with

someone you met today.

Does this have something

to do with your books?

Yeah, it does.

But that's not

the only reason.

There's just

something about him.

And there's something

I feel I can't miss--

I can't

miss out on.

Okay, let's back up.

Did I do something?

Is this about me?

It's just for two days, Chris.

It's for two days.

- Okay, I get it.

- I don't know what's gonna happen.

Is this because of me

talking about Vegas?

Is this something

to get back at me?

Not at all.

What's this

guy's name?

Don't worry

about his name.

What does this mean, you're

going away for the weekend?

I'm just going away

for the weekend.

That's it or you're

making other plans?

Look, we've been together

for over a year and a half.

I'm gonna need more than just

a "hi, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine. I'm going away

for the weekend." All right?

You don't even know

this guy.

Chris, you know

what this means to me.

You know what my books

mean to me.

Books.

You know, look,

I was cool with your books 'cause

it made you feel comfortable

and it made

your work easier,

but at the end of the day they're

books-- written by some guy

that probably has never been

in a relationship in his life

and doesn't know what the

f*** he's talking about, okay?

- You think so?

- Yeah, I think so.

I knew you felt that way.

Why didn't you just admit it?

- Why didn't you admit it?

- Because you weren't talking about leaving me

For a guy that you read

about in a book, okay?

- I didn't say I was going to leave.

- We're not living in a book.

- I said we're going away for a weekend.

- You and I are real.

It's not just a guideline

or a format for my business.

It's for my

f***ing life.

No, it's--

We are our lives.

Do you understand that?

What you do for work--

you met a client today.

You didn't meet

your soulmate.

You didn't meet some guy you

read about in a book, okay?

I don't know that

and you don't know that.

No, I do know that.

You don't spend one day with a guy

and destroy

over-a-year relationship.

I mean,

we live together.

We're just gonna

throw that all out?

I didn't say I was

throwing it all out, Chris.

I said I need to find out.

I need to figure this out for myself.

Yeah, well, if you go

on this trip,

you're throwing

it all out, okay?

- You understand that?

- You're so selfish.

There is no going

on this trip.

You're incredibly selfish.

- What did you say? I'm selfish?

- You're selfish.

I'm selfish?

I've bent over backwards for you

- while you go out and f*** guys for money!

- Don't f***ing yell at me.

And I don't do anything.

I sit here like a jerk-off all day.

Don't f***ing

yell at me.

- Hello.

- Hi, it's David.

- Hi.

- How are you?

A little cold.

Listen, Christine,

I've been thinking

about you nonstop

since we said goodbye.

But I can't come.

What?

I'm sorry.

I can't come.

I have to go home.

I'm already here.

I'm really sorry.

The room's taken

care of, but I just--

I was video-chatting with

my kids this morning

and the tears just started

pouring out of me.

And I realized

I have to go home.

That's it?

I'm sorry.

dark straight hair,

and perky little body,
