Two Girls and a Guy Page #5

# And I can hardly speak #

# My heart is beating so ##

Mmm.

## I come in,

and-and the second I walk in the door...

The-The ground floor,

the door's open.

And I look in there, and there's

- There's a body in there.

I don't know. No, it's not them.

It's, like, the artist guy, Rex.

I don't know if it's him. I don't

know if it's... I don't know who it is.

I call the police.

They come over.

And within 25 seconds offinding this body

- They call the coroner or whatever.

They come upstairs and they're

grilling me, these two detectives.

That's- Yeah,

when you called me.

They were, like, relentless,

like I did it or something.

And then maybe 'cause, like, the

time ofdeath ofthe body or something,

it was obvious that I couldn't

have 'cause I just got back.

So they- So then...

Stop. You're smoking right now.

I can hear it.

You want some more?

I've had too much

already.

Pour me a little ofyours.

Good.

Yeah, I know you're smoking.

You don't have to tell...

You can't.

Yeah, but I know. It's not even like,

"I can sometimes" or whatever.

Because you have no idea.

I'm the one. I tookyou to hospital.

That's enough.

One more.

We'll finish

the bottle.

Mom?

# In

gloria Dei Patris Dei Patris #

# Amen ##

Mmm!

Did you throw away

the cigarettes?

Know what you

should do with your hair?

Mom, you are destroying

your voice.

No, I'm serious. What... Why

are you talking so loud?

That'd be

good. Mom, you are... You...

You're wrecking your circulation.

It's a very elegant look.

I'm serious. You're

strangling your circulation.

Mom, each cigarette

is like a nail in your...

You just gotta stop. Do you want me to

come over there? I'll come over there.

What about, um... Do you think

that I could ever braid your hair?

Lfyou want to, you can. Because

I used to like to braid my hair,

but now I have short hair.

Okay. Okay, well, call

me ifyou need me, okay?

Okay. I love you. Bye.

Wow.

Hey, Blake, you wanna braid

Carla's hair with me?

It could be fun.

We could braid her hair.

- You want the truth?

- No. We want another lie.

No, seriously. The truth.

The truth, um... The truth is...

Look at him. I mean, the very words

"the truth is" make him draw a blank.

The truth is that I meant everything

that I said to each of you...

...at the time I was saying it.

- Bullshit.

- No, it was new to me.

- Oh, it was new to you.

The first time I'd ever felt love

was simultaneously with both ofyou...

for the first time ever in my life...

and I was... I was baffled.

It was very unnerving to me.

It was very unsettling.

Pooryou.

Poor f***ing you.

I'm not suggesting sympathy.

I think that would be grotesque.

I'm just trying to do what

I think we all want done here,

which is to make sense

ofthis fiasco that I've created.

So you've made your point. It was confusing

and unsettling when you discovered,

as you put it, that you were in

love with two women at the same time.

Yes.

And?

And it was... it was exciting,

ifyou wanna know the truth.

It never occurred to me at any

point to give up either one ofyou.

Because both ofyou made me feel

phenomenal when I was with you,

and I was under the impression that I

was not totally uninspiring to both ofyou.

So as long as we didn't know

about each other, then it was okay?

No, I'm not saying it was

okay. I knew that it was wrong.

But the rightness of it that I felt

gave me a way ofjustifying it,

a way ofseeing it the way that I wanted

to see it so that I could continue.

- You are such a manipulator.

- Manipulation? No, it's not manipulation.

'Cause manipulation implies

concealment. I'm concealing nothing.

- Since when?

- Since now.

I absolutely thinkyou're lying.

You're definitely concealing something.

It's too easy.

Yeah, it's too f***ing easy.

- It's too fast.

- What am I concealing?

You may not even

be aware of it.

Lying comes like

breathing to you.

Mom, hi. It's me. Listen, I'm sorry I'm

calling back, but yourvoice sounds weird.

It's- It's really low.

See, why are you talking like that,

Mom? 'Cause I'm getting scared.

I need to call you right back. If

it's the connection, then I can...

I'm calling you right back.

Hold on.

Why is this funny to you?

I'm concerned.

Hi. Are you sure

you're okay?

Look, I'm sorry. I just... I just... I just

- I don't understand whyyou're...

I know, butjust let me...

Okay, well, I'm here, and I am worried

about you. And I'm gonna... If I don't-

Okay. Okay. Sorry.

She gets upset

if I'm too solicitous.

There's something wrong with her though.

Her voice... she sounds really strange.

Blake, hasn't your mother

been sick for, like, 10 months?

- I mean...

- Mm-hmm.

That's what you have

been saying, right?

Yeah.

Lfthere's a real change in her

voice, you should call a doctor.

I know. I am going to

call the doctor.

All right. Sorry.

Hi. Dr. Cutler,

please.

Can you tell him Blake Allen called and

it's very important he calls me at home?

He has the number.

Thankyou.

What?

So will you ever believe

anything I say again?

I would be pretty stupid to,

wouldn't I?

Haven't you ever lied to

anyone and-and... and known...

what it'd done and felt

horrible about it...

and-and... and known you

could never do it again?

Known and then not done it or known

and then gone ahead and done it anyway?

I guess what I'm asking

is-is- is can you forgive me?

So explain

something to me.

Did it excite you to know that you

were always in danger of being caught?

It must have.

It excited you.

It had to. No.

Oh, yes, it did. You were

exciting yourself by leading a double life.

You were risking disaster.

Ofcourse it excited you.

If it did, I wasn't aware

of it. You were aware.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Oh, f***.

Where the f***

are you going? Huh?

Ohh! Ohh!

Mmm.

I have to make a call. What?

I have a phone right here.

It's private.

Why don't you run after

her? She doesn't want me to.

But you would ifshe did.

It's okay. You can admit it.

I understand perfectly

whyyou're attracted to her.

She's great. She's beautiful.

She's clever. She's a good person.

And she knows how

to take care of herself.

I mean, what more

could somebody want?

Nothing. But you have

all those qualities too.

No, I don't, and you know it. I'm

not... I'm not beautiful. I'm cute.

And I'm...

No.

I'm not clever. I'm streetwise.

And I'm not a very good person.

I mean, the only thing I am

is self-sufficient.

I do know how to take care of

myself. And you are a good person.

Don't say that about

yourself. No, I'm not.

How can you say that? How do

you know? You don't even know me.

I thought I knewyou better than

anyone who had ever known you.

I thought I knew you better than you

knew yourself. That's what you said.

No, that's what you said.

Maybe I did. Maybe I said it because I

knew that was what you wanted to hear.

The way everything you said to me

was what you thought I wanted to hear.
