The Last Kiss Page #4

Actually, no.

They make me pretty depressed.

-Why?

-I don't know. They just...

They always seem so forced to me,

you know?

I mean, if you love somebody,

why do you need a photo album

of drunk people in tuxedos to prove it?

Wow. How do you really feel?

Did you know that when

the institution of marriage was created,

people only lived to be 30 years old?

I'd be dying next year.

I would wear the hottest dress

to your funeral.

-I live here.

-Oh, here?

-Okay.

-Yeah.

-You do live close.

-I told you.

So, that whole day was like a nightmare

for you, huh?

All those relationships dissolving

before your eyes.

Well, it wasn't completely awful.

What are you doing

for the long weekend?

I mean, almost all my friends

are going out of town.

I don't know. I just was going to...

I don't know.

Do you want to go to a party with me?

Sure.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Here. Let me give you this.

-Nice pen.

-Thanks. I like purple.

-Don't even think about standing me up.

-Okay.

All right.

-Bye.

-See you.

-Hey!

-Where are you?

I called the office.

They said you weren't there.

I'm just on my way home.

Why? What's going on?

We have a sonogram. Did you forget?

Oh, my God. Jenna, I totally did.

I'm sorry. When?

5:
45. Get here soon.

We can still make it.

Okay. I'll be there in 10 minutes.

What the f*** are you doing?

What the f*** are you doing?

What the f*** are you doing?

Holy sh*t. You are unbelievable.

There's more where that came from.

I just want to know,

where did I find you

and how do I make more of you?

-I have to go back to work.

-No, no!

Hang on.

What are you doing later?

You, hopefully.

Okay.

Be at my house at 8:00.

And stay hungry.

Oh, my God.

Now that I can see you,

it's as if I never left.

Oh, my God, if you only knew,

every day I've kicked myself.

I have, just,

every single day thinking about you.

-I thought of you, too.

-Oh, yeah. Liar.

I am so happy to see you.

-So why did you disappear?

-You know why.

I couldn't control the way

I felt about you. You know that.

You know. Listen.

I thought if I could stop cold,

and that's the only way I could do it,

maybe I could save my marriage.

Seriously.

-Did you save your marriage?

-No.

I'm sorry.

-Yeah.

-Anna, Anna.

I'm married.

-You are what?

-With a two-month-old baby boy.

-You can't be serious.

-Yeah, I'm serious.

-How old is your wife?

-What's the difference?

-Tell me. How old is she?

-No, it doesn't matter.

Tell me! How old is she?

She's 35 years old.

-My God, she could be my daughter.

-What's the difference?

You were never going

to leave him, anyway.

Be happy.

Anna.

God damn it, Anna!

-Is he here?

-Yes.

But he's with a patient.

Hello, dear.

-Anna, what's wrong?

-Nothing, as far as you're concerned.

Well, if you come back in 40 minutes...

I just wanted to let you know

I f***ed another man.

Nice to see you.

Excuse me.

Anna, just...

Just come with me in here.

Oh, now you react.

Maybe if you'd dragged me into a closet

before, this wouldn't have happened.

-What the hell is going on?

-It was three years ago.

I saw him today.

He's leaving his wife

and he's going to run away with me.

That's all you need to know.

Anna, I understand

you want to lash out...

Just shut up!

Would you just, please, for God's sake,

shut up? I don't want to talk this out.

And I do not want your understanding.

I want someone who's flesh and blood.

And since you're not that,

I don't want you.

-...fingers.

-You're obsessed.

-Hello.

-I've left your father.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

That's why I'm leaving him.

-What? Mom...

-Honey, I want you to know that,

that I'm so happy for you and the baby,

and I'm not jealous of you.

And if you need me, you call me,

all right?

I love you. I love you.

What's going on?

It's Jenna. Is he there?

And then,

the mattress transforms

into this giant bundt cake.

I'm really sorry to interrupt,

but your daughter's on the phone

and she does say it's urgent.

Okay.

Excuse me for one minute.

She told me she's moving out.

What the hell is going on, Dad?

Sweetheart, your mother's going

through a very tough time.

-Don't make excuses for her.

-I'm not.

You know, I'm just gonna

come over there. This is silly.

Jenna, I'm fine.

It's something

between your mother and me.

We'll work it out. We always do.

Right now,

I want you to look after yourself, okay?

Okay.

You sure you don't want

a little company?

Trust me, my current patient

is company enough.

Okay.

Okay, sweetheart.

I have to go back to work now.

-Daddy?

-Yeah?

It's a girl.

We're having a baby girl.

Say something.

I'm...

I'm so happy.

I got to go now, sweetheart.

Okay?

Okay.

I'll see you later. I love you.

I'll see you later. I love you.

I love you.

Hold that thought.

Your timing's perfect.

My folks just dropped by.

I want you to meet them.

What?

-Joey.

-What up, Ken?

I'm going with you.

You're full of sh*t.

-I'm serious, man. When do we leave?

-Dude, don't f*** with me.

I'm not. You're right.

If we don't leave Wisconsin now,

we never will.

Besides, without me,

you'll never get laid.

-Are you serious?

-I'm serious.

-You're serious.

-I'm serious.

-You got any cash?

-$5,000.

-You?

-$700.

-And a fuckload of cheese.

-To cheese.

-Hello.

-Are you going to be much longer?

Probably not, no.

Could you just

come home now, please?

I just need a few minutes.

Matthew has been fussy all day.

I think it's his stomach.

And I need some goat's milk.

Okay, I'll be home soon.

Thanks.

Okay.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I can't stand us being like this

at each other all the time.

We have to try harder, okay?

I'm gonna try a lot harder.

I can't.

What?

It's no good, Lise. This isn't working.

What are you talking about?

Look, we have to admit it.

This is destroying us

and it's gonna destroy Matty.

Who is it?

-Who?

-What's her name?

What? No, that's not

what I'm talking about.

What exactly are you talking about,

Chris?

I'm talking about trying...

I'm talking about trying to do this apart,

for a little while at least.

To do what? To raise a child?

To build a family? What, Chris?

No, I'm trying to understand

what the f*** you're saying here.

Or haven't you even really thought

about that?

Sh*t.

Of course I've thought about it.

It's all I think about!

-Really?

-Yeah.

Or have you just thought about yourself?

Do you think that this is good for him?

That kid is gonna hate us

if he has to grow up listening

to us fight all day long.

So that's it, then.

What about me?

-Am I just so easy to walk away from?

-Lisa, I love you.

Don't you f***ing say that to me!

You have no idea what love is, Chris!

Lisa. Listen.

We have a problem

and we have to face it.

Oh, you're right, Chris.

You are absolutely right.

Get the f*** out, you f***ing a**hole!

You know what? If you want to go, go.

I release you. Go be free.

But don't you ever expect to see me

or your child ever again, ever!
