The Kreutzer Sonata Page #3

Um...

Yeah, that's...

I'm fine with that.

I think those are combinations...

And also just make sure that I

don't have some clapped-out piano,

like the high school piano

with a busted pin-block, ..,

because I'll sound completely amateur.

No, I, I think it makes complete sense.

.., so run some people by me.

He's great.

I think he's really wonderful.

He's a little young, but, uh...

but he would be a great addition.

Right now?

.., .., yeah.

Opportunity presents itself

for me to actually work on the piano

and make sure that

it's not a piece of sh*t,

because that's really gonna

present a problem for me.

Yeah, no problem.

I don't have a problem with that...

at all.

I hear everything you're saying

and I really will call you...

back later and we'll talk more,

and I'll also, you know,

make sure to check my e-mail...

.., thanks.

Thank you so much, Lena.

Bye. Thanks.

What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

God damn it, Edgar, get off of me!

; What?

You f***ing came in me.

Are you nuts?

It's not f***ing funny.

Get...

What are you thinking?

It's not funny.

Sorry.

Sorry?

Shh, shh, shh...

Oh, look...it's over.

As soon as it starts, it's over.

Clean up!

Just f***ing clean it...

clean it up!

Everything has

a sharp edge, there's all these...

I have to constantly watch her...

It's really exhausting for me.

Why is this diaper on the counter?

Shh, shh, shh...

I'm trying the best that I can.

It's not my...

I'm not really good at it, ...?

That's ...

And I'm not a housekeeper...

and I'm tired of doing laundry...

I understand that.

And...l want my mom

to come see me.

What awful lies

We spread about children.

"Children are God's blessing on us."

"Children are a delight. "

It's all f***ing lies.

Mothers know this...and

sometimes they'll own up to it.

You're not doing it for real!

What am I not doing for real?

I am doing it for real.

You are not.

You're being bad.

Stop it.

I said to stop it.

Lexi!

Keep saying it.

I said to stop.

I know, but you still...

I know, I know, .., ..

Will you please not bang

on the piano?

And we'll play like funny play.

- Am I crabs with you?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

No, Homer...

Once We had

number two, that was it.

She gave up playing...

Leave us alone.

Shh, shh, shh...

Mama...

She Wanted a new home,

she got a new home.

She had a...

terrible power over me.

You don't believe that women

have that much power over us?

Well...go into any mall.

There are millions of dollars

Worth of stuff there.

You can never put a value

on the amount of labor

that's gone into producing it,

yet look...

In nine out of 10 stores,

is there even one f***ing thing

a man would want to buy?

All life's luxury articles

are made to meet the demands

of women and to be

consumed by them.

.., I'm coming to get ya!

I'm coming to get ya!

I'm coming to get ya!

He doesn't want this.

Here just take the boy...

Mommy...

I know, I know.

Can I cut that up?

He doesn't want it cut up.

Just...hold on one second.

Shh, shh, shh...

Hold on one second, ...?

Hold on one second, ...?

Desi...Desi missed his nap.

Now he's gonna be up all day.

It's .., I'm not blaming you, but can

you please go pick up the Porsche?

- Yup.

- It's on Santa Monica and 12th, ...?

Here's the key.

Just use the checkbook

that I gave you, ...?

And call me from the road.

.., thanks.

Honey, let's go outside

and play in the sun.

Oh, my God!

She had grown as pretty

as the last ray of summer.

She was aware of it and started

to take an interest in her appearance.

A kind of provocative beauty

radiated from her...

and people found it disturbing.

She was 35 years old, in the full flower

of her Womanhood.

Yeah...Well...and Whenever

she walked past men,

she attracted their gaze...

Disgusting...

She was an impatient, Well-fed horse

that has had its bridle taken off...

I could sense this...

and it scared me.

I don't ever see my friends.

You don't like them anyway.

I don't do anything

that I love any more.

And I feel so bad...

Because I feel like I'm making

you feel bad, and I don't want

to make you feel bad...

'cause I know you did

everything right.

I just...I don't understand

what you're saying.

I just...

Yeah?

I'm just so tired of everything.

What is actually wrong?

Is it about this?

It's .., it's understandable.

L...

it's not like I'm trying

to create a problem.

I just want my life back, ...?

I know you didn't take it

from me on purpose.

I know that it wasn't some kind

of crazy thing in your mind.

It's just...l gave it up...

so it's my fault, ...?

And I just need to figure out

how I'm gonna make it...

I just want some independence

again, that's all I want.

I just want to do

my own thing again.

I want to go out to dinner

sometimes without you,

and I want to sometimes not

have to take care of the kids,

or I want to go away with you,

without the kids.

I don't want to just be here.

I don't want to be in Beverly Hills,

I don't want to be

in this house 24 hours a day.

I don't want to be

gardening in the back.

I don't want to f***ing run

with the dogs.

I don't want to do any of this stuff.

I want my life back.

I want to travel.

I want to go to San Francisco

or New York or go to Europe

or something, or just be the way

that things were in the beginning

between us.

I just...Everything is such a...

it's so orderly...

If you have to go...

if you have to claim some sort

of life for yourself...

then go.

I understand.

Why are you being so...

I completely understand.

Perfect...Oh, no.

I wanted to have

a fight with you.

We can have a fight.

Can we have a...

Absolutely.

I was planning on a good fight.

Well, we can have a good fight.

You f***ing ungrateful child.

You spoiled Beverly Hills wife.

That is so true.

I was just thinking that

in my head.

That's better.

Hi...

Somebody woke up.

Somebody woke up.

Say good night to Daddy.

Come here, baby.

It's all right if I read

to you, hmm?

I couldn't go back to sleep.

Could I have a cab, please?

I decided I couldn't stand

any more of this anxiety.

I would go to the airport and try

and catch the last flight back to L.A.

I remember the strange feeling

I had as I looked at the nape

of his neck and its White flesh

with the black hairs

as he moved away from us

with this peculiar bobbing,

almost birdlike gait.

I'm not exaggerating

when I tell you

this man's presence

drove me out of my mind.

Hi.

Edgar Hudson.

Pleased to meet you.

Hello.

And Richard Kemp.

Hi. Richard.

- Nice to meet you.

- Yup.

Hmm...Thank you.

And, um...and a CD, but...

I hope you'll play for us live.

Yeah, ...

Where should I set up?

Does it matter? Should I...

- Right here?

- Uh, right...

Wherever you're comfortable.

This will be the first time violin

has been played in this office,

I think, so we don't really have...

- But not the last.

- ...a violin place.
