The Pill Page #6

---

this wonderful day together,

and i wouldn't have gotten to know you.

Get out.

- Come on.

- Get out!

- Listen. Listen to me.

- Get out!

It became more, okay?

If i could go back and do it all again,

i would.

Would you?

Would you do it again?

Look... i-i really...

i want to talk about this.

I'm -- it's just not the best time.

This is not the best time?!

There is no other time!

Just please, please just take the second pill,

and then we can talk about our situation

after you've taken it.

You're not gonna leave her,

are you?

I'm sorry.

Get the f*** out.

You're late.

Hey. I'm sorry.

Shoes! Shoes!

Oh, sh*t. Sorry.

Had to make sure the

boards were ready at the office, so...

thought you were running errands?

Errands?

That's what you texted me.

Oh, yeah. Work errands.

Whatever.

Food's getting cold.

Put the flowers in water.

you want to play a game?

What, honey?

A drinking game.

You want to play a drinking game?

Yeah. Why not?

You ever played, um...

"i never"?

What made you think of that?

I just... i don't know.

I thought it could be fun.

I don't want to get drunk.

All right.

I am so excited about this cat.

Yes. Me, too.

What should we name her?

I don't know.

What about Maud, after my mother?

Yeah. Maud's a nice name.

You think you can talk to the super

about it tomorrow?

Yeah. Yeah, i said i would.

Well, don't forget.

I won't.

Hey, actual... babe.

- What?

- Oh, man.

I am just so wiped out.

I don't know if i can...

I'm kind of in the mood.

Yeah.

How about we, um...

let's play in the morning, huh?

I can't persuade you?

You...

...get yourself hard,

and i'll hop on.

What?

I'll take over once you're ready.

There were nine condoms in here before i left.

Now there's eight.

Why is one missing, Fred?

How should i know?

Did you use one when i was away?

Maybe you counted them wrong.

I've been counting condoms for years,

and i've never made an error.

Who the f*** counts condoms?

Why is there a condom missing?

Why?

Why? Because i had sex.

That's why.

You're lying.

No, i'm not, but, ironically,

i didn't end up using

the damn condom, so...

you had unprotected sex

with another woman?

Yes.

Why are you even telling me this?

Okay, look, Nelly.

It -- it's -- it's not working between us.

Where is this coming from?

Nelly, you don't love me.

What?

You've never, ever really loved me.

You haven't.

You treat me like i'm your personal assistant.

I mean, you do not respect me.

You are a control freak,

and then this whole...

this, us, it's just...

i've done everything to make

a home for us.

I pay 2/3 of the rent.

I pay for the housekeeper.

I pay for most of the food.

I don't care if you pay for the food,

if you pay for the housekeeper,

if you pay for the rent, okay?

I do not want to be in a functional relationship

where it's merely convenient for you to

"hop on".

You are a mean, horrible,

immature son of a b*tch!

Where are you going?

I should have done this

a long time ago, but i just...

i didn't have the courage.

Well...

where are you gonna sleep tonight?

You are just like

the character in your novel...

a selfish, uncaring a**hole.

You read the chapters?

Yes, i did.

And they suck.

The characters suck, the story sucks,

and you'll never,

ever get published because you suck.

And only now, when i am leaving you,

can you actually talk about something

that's important to me.

Geez.

I was trying not to hurt your feelings.

You know, i wanted you to hurt

my feelings, okay?

And be brutally honest with me

and give me some perspective.

You want perspective?

How about this?

I f***ed someone on my trip.

He's a banker, and he lives in Rye,

and he's rich and handsome

and almost divorced,

and we're going out on Friday.

Honestly, Nelly.

I don't care.

FIVE WEEKS LATER

Hey, Mindy. Geez.

I can't believe that

I finally ran into you.

It's crazy.

I mean, i just saw you from

across the street,

and i'm just...

i'm really glad

i got to see you again.

What do you want?

Jesus, I just...

i wanted to say hi.

Hi. And bye.

Hey. Hey, look. I just...

i've been doing a lot of

thinking about you

and...and doing a lot of work,

and the amazing thing...

look, Fred, i am in a really

different place in my life

right now.

Look, i just...

i finished my novel.

Okay, let me take you up

on your offer if it still stands.

You really hurt me.

I know.

I wish that i could just

make it up to you somehow.

I don't know if that's possible.

Okay.

Okay, that's fair. Yeah.

That's totally fair, but...

Can i still get your number?

Why?

So that i can call you

and try to get you

to like me again.

Give me your phone.

You can text me.
