" Plans of yours." " No." "It's great." "Meaghan will be thrilled." " Good." "So, Richard, huh?" " Who?" " Richard!" "Pancakes in the shape of animals." "Richard, you know." " He's a friend of the family." " Does she eat them?" " Not usually." " Good." "Glad to hear that." "Have we concluded the interrogation?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, all right?" "She blurted it out and I didn't take it very well." "It threw me." "I should have told you." "I'm sorry." "What?" "You know what Neal asked, out of the blue?" "He asked me what happened to us."

"Look, I'm all wrinkled." "Come on down pretty fast, OK?" "They're waiting for you." "You sure are a handsome devil." "I mean for an old guy." "Maybe the house isn't such a good idea." "Maybe it's too soon for you." "For us." "Maybe it's a little too complicated." "I mean it." "And it's OK." "Yes, it is OK." " What time will you be home?" " Around midnight." " So late?" " I've got that thing at the museum." " What thing?" " The reception." " Your museum?" " Yeah." "I told you." "I don't remember." "It's just a dumb thing for the trustees."

"It's really terrific." "The magazine comes to the office." "The younger staff like it." "The young people?" "God bless them." "Can I get you something from the bar?" " Not yet." " I'll come back." "I remember a great column you did." "We were passing it around the office." "It was about how you're always invited to dinners as the unattached female." "And you would always say no." "You would rather have your solitude." "What did you call it?" ""Hell is Other People."" "Very good." "Is it true?" "Would you rather be alone?" "It depends." " Are you sorry I sat down here?" " Not yet." "How about you?" "We stole their land, we decimated their culture." "We offered them welfare in exchange." "We wanted to do a building that would celebrate, that would reassure them, and us, too, of the greatness of that culture." "When I started thinking about this project, and every project has its own approach," "I wanted to get into the minds of the people who lived here." "To try, anyhow." "To feel their relationship with nature." "This extraordinary feeling of divinity that they had with everything around them." "Nature as a divine church." "I'll tell you a secret, if you promise not to tell anybody." "I think there's something else here besides concrete, stone and steel, that's holding this place up." "Anyhow, it's here." "It's done." "We're very proud of this." "Please walk around and enjoy." "You paid for it." "But don't touch anything!" " It's beautiful." " That's real articulate." " Vincent, it's a triumph!" " Thank you." " You're very sweet." "Thanks." " Nice to see you." "I'd still rather draw something than explain it." "What was that class?" "A term paper was due..." "European History." "You were going to draw the entire French Revolution." " Me and Delacroix!" " Great work, Vincent." "Thank you." " What was the professor's name?" " Leudtke." "Hans Leudtke." "He had a terrible toupee." "It was over his eyes." " He had a thing for you." " He did not." " Wonderful evening." " Thank you." "You remember Reginald." " Thanks a lot." " See you Wednesday." "Everyone talked about it." "The guy was a mess." "He broke down when we got married." "Pulled the rug right out from over him." "Come on, you're not leaving." "Pretty soon."

"You make pancakes for my daughter." "Oh... yes." "I suppose I do." "She's a lovely girl." "What the hell do you know about my daughter?" " How did you get here?" " I flew." "There's an airport nearby." "I thought we could drive home together." " What's the matter?" "They don't like it?" " They like it." " It's beautiful!" " Yes, it is." "Let's get a drink." " Yes, ma'am?" " Red wine." " And for you, sir?" " Nothing." "Club soda." "Thank you." "What's the matter with you?" "Sally is here." "And Meaghan." "That's cosy." "Maybe we can all go out for a pizza." " You're drunk." " It's the little bottles at the airport." "Are you trying to hide me?" "If so, it's not going to work." " If you'd only told me." "It's important..." " An important reception for the trustees." "Meaghan, a trustee?" "So young, yet so accomplished." " Let's go." " Where?" " We're going home." " No!" "I want to meet the trustees." " Stop it." " I've a better idea." "Do you have one of those little director's offices here?" "Upstairs." "Why?" "We could lock the door and do it on the rug." "A ceremonial quickie." "Grow up!" "For Christ's sake, grow up!" "OK." "I won't make a sound." "Just like Sally." "Go to hell." " As soon as I know how I fit into all this." " Then come here." "Do you want to know how you fit in?" "You don't!" "You do not fit into this." "I work with Sally." "We did this project, and we're very proud of this project." "It's not about you, it's about the museum." "Not everything is about you!" "Hello." "I'm Sally Eastman." "Sally, this is Olivia Marshak." " How are you?" " Fine." "I read your column." "It's very good." "It's very clever." " Thanks." " I recognised you from your photo." " You, too?" " Excuse me?" " It's a passport photo." " Really?" "I like it." ""If you look like your passport photo, you're not well enough to travel."" " Hi, Meaghan." " Hi." "Well, it's nice to have met you." "At last." "Likewise." "Come on." "All right?" " Yes." " How about you?" "I guess that's what you call a home court advantage." "Vincent, I'm sorry." "I got drunk." "I got a little crazy." "Maybe I suspected they'd be there, and wanted to see what I was up against." "Do you understand?" "I like her." "But I can't give you what you had with them." "Summers on a boat with Meaghan." "16 years." "All that history." "We don't have a history." "We can make one." "Vincent, I can make you so happy, if you..." "I swore I wasn't going to do this." "Look, it's going to be all right." "We'll build a fire." " Come on." " I got to go back to the museum." " Tonight?" " I have a meeting there in the morning." "You know what?" "I think you liked what happened tonight." "Me and Sally, with you in the middle." "Are you getting out?" "Yes, I think so." "Watch your head." "Take your coat off." "I'll get a towel." "There you go." "Nice." "Very nice." " This is nice, isn't it?" " She is a nice boat." "I thought so." "She is a Swan 44, designed by Sparkman and Stephens." "About 20 years old." "Deck and interior are teak." "Kind of broad in the beam." "I had to look hard for her." "You're a real boat person, I can tell." "My uncle said, "Going on a boat is like being in jail with a chance of drowning."" "I like that one." "Ah, yes." "You're married." " It shows, huh?" " Like a neon sign." " And you?" " Not any more." "Well, down the hatch." "How long have you been married?" "Lt'll be 16 years in October." " Any children?" " 13." " You have 13 children?" " No..." "No, I have..." "I have a little girl who is 13." "Her name is Meaghan." "You want to take me to bed, is that it?" "Why don't you just say what's on your mind and share it with me?" "Why don't you?" " Why don't we just trade stories?" " I think I've heard yours." "I'm sorry." "I'm not very good at this." "You're doing fine." "So what happened with the marriage?" "We met in Florence." "I was on scholarship." "We got married, we had Meaghan, started a company." "We've been working together ever since." " That's it?" " Essentially, yes." "I must have missed something." "Me, too." "Shall we go?" "No." "I'll have another." "Shit!" "Bye, guys." "Thanks." "See you." "Here." "Thanks." "What'll it be?" "Bourbon." "A glass of water on the side." "And a cup of coffee, please." " Still raining?" " Yeah." "Can you tell me why we don't all just move to Arizona?" "They say that rainy climates are good for the complexion." "Well, it's not my skin that I'm worried about." "It's my sanity." "How long have you known her?" "About two months." " We met in August." " Do I know her?" "Her name is Olivia Marshak." "Marshak?" "Marshak." "She's a journalist." "You must have known something was going on?" "I thought you were working late." "Are you in love with her?" "I'm sorry, isn't that the traditional question?" "I say, "Are you in love with her?", and you say, "I'm confused." "I need time."" " And then I respond..." " Look!" " I didn't plan this." " I believe that." " What?" " I plan, you create." "Isn't that what this whole relationship is based on?" " I'm going to a hotel." " Really?" "Now when we're finally getting to know each other." " Are you all right?" " What do you mean, am I all right?" " You're acting a little crazy." " What the hell is wrong with you?" "I just said that I love another woman!" "I don't care!" " I'm leaving you." "Do you understand?" " I heard you." " You're amazing." " And how is that?" "Do you ever consider, just maybe, if you felt more upset, it wouldn't have happened?" "Don't you get angry at me because you fuck another woman." "It lacks conviction." "I'm taking a bath." "You will call me tomorrow and we'll talk this over, OK?" "Sally." "Hey, Sally!" "Don't move." "There's glass on the floor." " I'll help you out." " Don't touch me." " Sally, don't move." " Leave me alone." "Don't you touch me!" "I don't want you to get hurt." "Come." " I hate you!" " Stop it." "Stop it!" "Stop it, stop it!" "It's all right, it's all right." "It's OK." "I was looking forward to meeting you." "Your father has told me a lot about you." "You're taking ballet?" "Yeah." " Do you like it?" " You know I'm studying it!" "Let's order." "Meaghan, this is not a contest." "I'm not trying to replace anybody." "Not you and not your mother." "I just want to make your father happy." "I can't do that if you're going to fight me." "Do you understand?" "What do you say?" "Will you give it a shot?" "Sure." "I guess." "I have something for you." "Oh, my God!" "Is this really his handwriting?" "What does it say?" ""To Meaghan, Keep dancing." "Mikhail Baryshnikov."" "Where did you find this?" "I interviewed him." "Who do you think you're dealing with?" "Mister, you want a sweet roll?" "That's for me?" "Well..." "Thank you." "Aren't you going to eat it?" "Well..." "Yes!" "This is it." "This is the one I was looking for." "Thank you." " Bye." " Bye-bye." " Looks like more rain." " Yeah." "You lost?" "No." "Grandchild?" "Beautiful." "Really beautiful." "Grandpa, come on."
