Why Did I Get Married Too Page #7

---

I looked up and I saw an angel!

It was the finest,|most handsome man I ever saw.

He said,

"Hello, Ola."

It was him.

It was the way he said my name.

It was the kindest, sweetest

sound I had ever heard.

And I knew then

that I wanted to marry him.

Sweet little angel.

We love each other.

There's no fear.

There's no ego, no attitude.

I look at these young people today,|my heart bleeds.

Looking and wanting love so bad,

not knowing how to find it.|Not knowing anybody

to show them what it is and how to get it.

If you don't remember anything|from us tonight, remember this.

Love, pure love,

will never return to you void.

See why I love this man?

Okay, your turn, Pat and Gavin.

So, y'all want us to go after that?

Come on.

Okay.

That was so beautiful.

Well, you all know|that we love you very much

and we love each other.

Gavin and I have decided to get a divorce.

Patricia...

We love each other very, very much.

And we've just grown apart.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

We're still gonna be very good friends.

Gavin...

Everything's gonna be okay, watch.|You'll see, we'll be fine.

We're gonna be best of friends.

Gavin was telling me|how beautiful it was in the Bahamas.

I think I should make it down|there sometime.

Yeah, Phil, you definitely should.|It's beautiful there. Really.

All right.

I was talking to Dianne about this divorce.

We think it's great how civil|you two are being about this.

Well, we told you we would be.

Gavin and I love each other very much.

Right, sweetie?

And we just think it's better|that we're apart.

Okay. Well, we took your direction

and divided everything down the middle.

Okay.

Yeah, all the real property comes to|$700,750,

to be sold and split, 50-50.

Yeah.

All the bank accounts|divided down the middle,

we're showing that between|investments, savings,

IRA retirements and 401 Ks.

You two will be splitting $970,000.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Yeah.

Don't forget about the other account.

Gavin was telling me that

there was another account|that's not listed here.

It has about $800,000 in it.

Yeah, that's the money from my book.

That's not included?

We're not offering that.

Well, I didn't know that.

But why would I, Gavin?

-It's ours.|-Ours?

Gavin, that's the money I made|from my book sales.

Why would I include that in the settlement?

It's what we built together, Patricia.

-We?|-We.

"We"? What page did you write, Gavin?

What book tour lecture were you on?

Patricia, how many nights|did I stay up all night

listening to you and your ideas|and giving you some of mine?

Yeah, but, Gavin,|I didn't use not one of your ideas.

Yes, you have. You always do,|I've always been your case study.

-Are you serious?|-Are you serious?

All right, Gavin,|let's be reasonable about this.

It's my money. I earned it.

So, can we move on, please?

No, we're not just gonna move on.

Okay? You wanna be reasonable?|You include that.

-Are you really trying to do this?|-Absolutely.

All right, fine.

So, you wanna include it?

No, I'm not including it, Dianne.

-No?|-You know what, Gavin?

This ain't about the money.

-This is about greed. Your greed.|-You're right.

-Yeah.|-Thank you.

I should be greedy,

'cause I've been starving|in this relationship.

Can we talk about this in private, please?

Now you wanna talk about things in private.

You didn't feel that way|in the Bahamas, did you?

When you announced that|we were getting divorced

in front of all our friends,|you never ran that by me.

Patricia, that is the problem, okay?

Everything is always private with us.

That is why we're here.

Oh, my God, where is this coming from?

You look in the mirror and you tell me

how you kept up|this farce of a marriage for 14 years

when I could've been out there|enjoying my life.

Instead, I've been waiting for you|to learn how to love me.

You know I love you, Gavin.

You tolerate me.

-You tolerate, there's a difference.|-Tolerate.

And ever since Noah died,|you have been impossible.

All right.

You're trying to hurt me.|I ain't gonna do this.

-You're not gonna do what?|-No, I'm not standing for this.

I'm not doing this.

No, you're gonna sit here and listen to this.

-Not today, I'm not.|-Yes, you are, Patricia.

-Yes, you are.|-Gavin!

-You're gonna listen to this.|-Gavin, move.

Get out of my way.

Go ahead. Go run. Play your little game.

Go play hide and seek, Pattie.

Dianne, it is on.

You tell her to prepare for a fight.

Excuse me.

All right. Come on.

-You good, babe?|-Yeah.

All right. Come on, baby.

Go on in the house.

Hello!

Angela.

-Hi!|-Hi!

Could I talk to you for... No, no.

Could I talk to you for just a second?

Ms. Tan, I have to go|make dinner for the kids.

It'll just be a minute.

I really need to talk to you.|It's so important.

-Did you have a good vacation?|-I did, thank you.

-Oh, great.|-Thank you so much.

So, come closer, please. I really...|It's private.

Okay. What is it?

I don't like the way he looks at me.

You called me all the way over here|for this?

No, no, no. Well, you know I work at night.

I volunteer at the hospital,|so I need to sleep in the daytime.

-What's wrong?|-It's the noise.

-Is it my kids?|-No, no, no. I love your kids.

It's not that kind of noise.

Well, Ms. Tannenbaum,|what kind of noise are you talking about?

Well, it's from your bedroom.

Tuesdays and Thursdays at noon,

the noise coming from your bedroom,|it's embarrassing.

It's...

You know...

Sexual noises.

Are you sure about that?

Yeah, I do know a little bit about sex.

Ms. Tannenbaum,|I work all day during the week, so...

Well, if you're at work,|who is making all that... Oh, my...

Can you watch the kids for me,|for about an hour?

-Hey.|-Hey.

How did it go?

I didn't get it.

I'm sorry.

Over-qualified.

There.

Did anybody call?

No.

I don't know what we're gonna do.

The mortgage is due here and back home.

I don't have the money.

I've been thinking about that.

I'm gonna borrow the money|from Pat or Angela.

No, you're not.

We borrow money from each other|all the time. It's not a big deal.

-Sheila.|-It'll give us breathing room

-and we need that.|-Sheila!

You must not have heard|what I said in the Bahamas. No.

I'm gonna get the money, okay?

You really need to get your pride|out of this.

I'll handle this.

I've never seen you like this!

You know,|we should've never left Colorado.

I should have followed my first mind.

Okay.

So, you're blaming me for this?

I'm gonna make some calls.

-Troy...|-Damn it, Sheila!

Give me some space!

Don't you ever talk to me like that again!

This book is about a little boy.|And everything he tried to do,

people would tell him, "You can't do that!"

And when he'd ask, he'd say, "Why?"|And they'd say, "Because they say."

-Did anybody ever tell you "they"?|-Yes.

-Who's "they"?|-The other people.

Other people, right.|Let nobody stop you from what you want.

This is a great book.

Hello!

-Hey!|-Hi, Mommy!

-Hey, Mommy!|-Hi!

-You need some help, babe?|-No, I think I got it.
