What Just Happened Page #7

Get back to me.

I thought the goal here

was not to get us back together...

but to help us feel better

about being apart.

You know, moving on gracefully.

- We share two kids.

THERAPIST:
That's exactly right.

This is an exercise to help couples

separate with love.

instead of acrimony.

It's not about trying to control

the other person's behavior.

- Okay.

THERAPIST:
Let's start again.

Is there anything you can think of

that you've done to Kelly.

while you were married

that you wish you didn't?

Well, that question feels so vague.

I don't know.

Okay, here's an example.

When you were married,

did you lie.

about your whereabouts

with other women?

No.

Well, there was.

Yeah, there was one time

when we were married...

when I did think of seeing Ann.

- Really?

- Mm-hm.

- And did you?

- No, no. I mean, I...

Yes, I... But nothing happened.

I just

Well, I guess I wanted to, but, hey.

You know,

I think I know what you mean.

I'm starting to feel

a little better already.

- Is that everything on this matter?

- Just about.

Not true.

The complete truth

will set you free, Ben.

Well, there was...

There was one time...

I was at a party with...

I was at a party once with Ann.

Where?

- Hm?

- Where?

In the bathroom.

You f***er.

That's very good, Ben.

Now, Kelly, it is not for you to judge.

This is just a start.

We're running short on time.

Let's give Kelly a chance.

And then next week,

we'll dig deeper.

- You ready, Kelly?

- Yes.

Did you ever use your kids

as ammunition against Ben?

No.

Did you ever have an affair

while you were married?

Absolutely not.

Okay, then. Is that all?

Well, there was

Alan's son's bar mitzvah.

I kissed Alan on the mouth

in the master bathroom.

You kissed him on the mouth?

- I mean.

- It was nothing.

Alan on the m?

What about Sheila?

- Oh, please.

- Your friend.

Please. That's all that happened.

Nothing.

- That's very good.

- I must admit, though.

I thought about it, actually.

That's very good.

What about? I mean I mean

Why don't we talk?

Aren't we gonna talk about what

we're doing to each other now?

Why don't we talk about

what we're doing?

- What?

- Why don't we talk about 'now'?

You didn't wanna talk

about 'now' before.

No. Now.

You know what. Now.

Yeah, but "now" before was not okay.

Why is "now" now okay?

I have no problem with 'now'.

You have a problem with 'now'.

- That is not why we're here.

- That's why.

Doctor, is this some classic case

of avoidance?

I'm sorry, but we're gonna have to

table this discussion until next time.

What you guys are doing takes guts,

but it is going to work.

I congratulate both of you.

You'll see.

As we dig deeper, you're gonna

feel so good about being apart.

that you're never gonna wanna

get back together.

But I'm just, you know, why?

Can't we just talk about the 'now'

for a minute?

- Like what she's doing.

- We're out of time.

She said no. She said no.

- Why can't we talk?

- Our time is up.

I know time is up.

We're paying money.

- We can't stay two more minutes?

- Thank you.

THERAPIST:

You're welcome.

Thanks.

KELLY:

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

[BEEP]

CARL:
Nobody seems to know where

Dick is. Should I call Bruce's office?

[BEEP]

CARL:
I tried Bruce's office and he told

them to tell me to tell you to f*** off.

. so I don't where should I go?

[BEEP]

CARL:
Ben, Sidney Voss just called.

Sidney Voss called personally.

Not his office. He's

He said He was screaming.

BEN:
You know how important

this f***ing movie is to me?

I got alimony, I got child support,

I can't afford to lose this movie.

I'm f***ing drowning. I gotta find.

- You talk to Bruce?

- Yes. Let me finish this, we'll discuss it.

- I've got to know.

- I'm done in 5, 10 minutes.

- I'm trying to relax.

- I have been driving around.

- You should have one.

- I don't need one.

The feet are connected to the soul.

I gotta know. I gotta know.

I'll be done in 5, 10 minutes.

I'm trying to relax.

You should have one.

- Five minutes.

- Five minutes.

DICK:

That's good.

BEN:
No, no, no. I'm waiting for him.

I'm waiting for him.

I'm just

[GIRLS SPEAKING IN

FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

DICK:

Oh.

[PHONE RINGING]

Excuse me.

- Yeah.

BEN:
Yeah, Dick, enough.

Come on. What's happening? Did

you tell him he has to shave or not?

- Tell him the consequence if he didn't?

- Yes.

What'd he say?

He told me that he hopes

I contract pancreatic cancer.

and die a slow, withering death.

BEN:
He's a beauty.

What'd he say after he calmed down?

- He said, "You gutless little turd."

- Oh, no. Then what did he say?

[LAUGHS]

"You're fired."

Oh, wow, terrible, terrible. I mean

- My biggest client.

- Did he say?

My biggest paying client,

the one responsible for my mortgage

- . hang up the phone.

- Oh, man, I'm sorry.

Man, you are strong. I don't know

how you do it, I admire you.

He add anything else about the movie?

The beard? The weight? Anything?

Can't you let this moment

be about me?!

Yeah, okay, it's about you. Right.

It's about you. I forgot.

My moment. Not yours, mine.

I lost him, I lost my biggest f***ing

client. The man I made. He fires me?

- He hangs up. The man responsible

- Hold on.

I'll be right back.

DICK:
I am not where you going?

- Be right back.

- Where you going? Where you going?

- I'll be right back.

I'm gonna just go outside

for a second, all right?

DICK:

Relax.

DICK [ON PHONE]:

Ben, what are you doing?

I thought I saw something.

MAN:
It's just business, business,

business.

[PLAYING ORGAN]

Hi, Zoe. What are you doing here?

Oh, God.

Terrible, terrible thing.

Yeah, it's the worst.

I didn't know you knew him.

I didn't know you knew Jack.

- You knew him?

- Yeah, I knew him.

How?

Well, it's really not the time.

Is that tie Jack's?

For God's sakes, it's 10:00 in the

morning, you should be in school.

- Ben All right.

- Not now.

Something important to talk about.

We'll talk later.

Why not.? No, let's do it now.

Let's get it over with. Wanna do it now?

- No, no, no.

- Fine. I'm ready.

We'll do it after the service.

It's all right.

I mean, when did you and Jack

have time to know each other?

Does that matter now?

Honey, I know, I know.

But was there any intimacy?

Really, what's the difference?

I mean, does that really matter now?

It makes a big difference.

He blew his brains out.

I'm sorry. That was harsh, but.

I mean, I don't know, an agent?

He was wonderful.

He taught me so much about me.

He took drugs.

He touched me.

Where?

Everywhere.

You're a kid.

MAN 1:

Hey, Ben.

[MAN SPEAKING SPANISH]

Nice crowd.

Jack has never been so hot.

Believe me, most of Colombia

is grieving.

MAN 1:
If I only had one-tenth

of Jack's p*ssy. One-tenth.
