"I'd like to finalize this before Lori comes home for vacation." "I hope she.." "isn't bringing that boy she's seeing, you know who I mean, the Jew." "The old HP." "Hall of Fame." "Remember when I did it the night of the all-state championship?" "How you threw that incredible pass to Stony Macguire, we beat Riverdale." "Mike Cary had that beer bust afterwards, his folks were out of town." "Shit!" "I remember." "We dropped our dates off.." "and came back and gang banged Mary Lou Cunningham." " Old Mary Lou." "Whole team lined up, single file outside the bedroom door." "Hasn't been a line that hungry since the Depression." "What did we call her, the Weasel?" " Yeah.. no, the Squirrel!" "Sure it wasn't the Weasel?" " Yeah, I am sure." "You named the Squirrel yourself, cause she always grabbing your nuts!" "She was very affectionate." "I wonder what happened to her?" "I heard she got syphilis and.." "went out to Arizona to die." "I don't think that you can die from that anymore." "Oh, maybe she just went out to Arizona." "I never made with her, Donnie." "What?" " I never went through with it." "What do you mean, you were in the bedroom for 20 minutes!" "I know because you were three ahead of me." "All we did was talk." "No shit!" "How come?" "I was going with Amy." "I didn't want to be with anybody else." "Why didn't you just say so?" " I don't know!" "Team spirit." "You were a team player to the end, weren't you?" "Our shining example." "What did they call you and Amy in the yearbook?" "The perfect couple?" "All American couple?" "Something like that." "Something like that." "So how was she?" " Who?" "Mary Lou!" "By the time I got to her," "I was too loaded to tell." "She had a rule though.." "with every guy." "Before you could make it with her, had to tell her you loved her." "Women have this thing about romance." "You're kidding?" "For a fuck a woman today, you have to swear that you don't love her!" "I don't love you!" "I swear!" "Grow up!" "There you are!" "Don't tell me, you've been cleaning in there too!" "Amy, relax!" "This isn't Home Ed class, no one's taking inspection." "I.." "I was just looking for something." "Do you ever get lonely, Sheila?" "Only I'm the best company there is!" "Donnie and I used to sit together at night.." "and the neighbors would complain about the silence." "And that was a circus, compared to what we did in bed." "You were together a long time." "You want to know the best time in my marriage?" "The day I discovered the telephone receiver." "Remember how my line was always busy?" "I'll say it was!" "One time, the damn thing was eight inches up when I heard the operator ask if I needed assistance." "What are you really getting?" "Freedom." "Even with all the bums whose.." "idea of mutual lovemaking is when you both worship his cock." "I feel like every woman in the world has an exciting life." "I'm turning into my mother!" "What about Bobby?" "Bobby?" "I keep taking it out on him and it's not his fault." "He tries so hard to make me feel safe." "He always did." "And I always wanted him to." "But safe isn't everything is it?" "Amy, you're 29 years old, for Christ's sake!" "Stop playing games and go for it!" "Instead of lying to yourself for the rest of your life." "And wasting Bobby's life too." "Remember how he made me take those vitamins every morning?" "He just stand there, watch me." "Not that a bigot or anything, you know, the work I've done for crippled children, but.." "he's Jewish." "What are we going to do with him?" "God knows, we can't take him to the country club!" "Let me get a.." " No!" "Not this time." "Wait ish.." "Just relax and trust me." "I told you I'd disappoint you." " You didn't disappoint me." "We'll just have to give it more time." "You want to, don't you?" "You know.." "you're really a great guy!" "I don't get a chance to meet guys like you very often." "Most of the ones I meet are really jerks!" "Boy, I can tell you some stories.." " Oh, cut the bullshit and just say it dammit!" "It won't work." " How do you know?" " Because I know me." "You don't know you!" " Well, you don't know yourself much better!" "I'm trying to learn!" " How?" " By trusting you!" "But why me?" " Because, you've been through enough shit to understand!" "We don't have to pretend with each other, Joanna." "I've had my love, dammit!" "For better or for worse and I got the worse!" "I'm not going through it again!" "I'll be damned!" "This is second time tonight I've been screwed without getting screwed." "Maybe I'll just buy a magazine." " Oh, buy a subscription!" "Women!" "I'm lost." "I mean what do you want?" "What am I doing wrong?" "If you need me, I'll be at Don Hopper's." "He's in the book." "Close the door after you!" "There a lot of creeps around!" "How long?" "To whom vengeance belongs?" "Yeah?" "I don't know how to do this sort of thing, I've been driving around the block for an hour." "Drive on, lady." "Please, it's not for me, it's for my husband." "Just the two of you." "I want to buy you for an hour, if that's what you call it." "What is he some kind of freak trick or something?" " No, nothing like that, I swear!" "You know the cost?" "I'm the hottest piece of life on this street." "It'll cost you a 100 bucks." "Have you got a 100 bucks?" "I'll drive you there and bring you back." "Ten minutes on the expressway." "I just need someone to be with him!" "You must be wondering, why all the mystery?" "I turn 50 tricks a week." "You're a statistic." "You're beautiful!" "Why do you do this?" "Mind?" "I'm not up for conversation." "Do you mind if I talk?" "You don't have to say anything, but I have to tell you." "It's your money." "My husband is dying." "Maybe another three months." "He's still functioning, in fact, you hardly know he was sick." "We've been married for 28 years!" "But since I found out, I haven't been able to go near him." "He needs me so badly and uh.." "I just can't do it!" "I look at him with pity and guilt!" "He looks.. back with disappointment and shame." "I deserve his disappointment!" "But the shame he has is for himself!" "I want you to make him feel like a man again!" "Come on in, it's open." "Come in.." "Remember when you said, "If you need me, I'm here."" "I need you!" "Oh, Bobby, hold me!" "I was so scared!" "I don't have anywhere to go." "No one who cares!" " Yes, you do." "I care." "I really do, you better believe it." "Can we try again?" "And I know that, but you're just so fucking honorable!" "Jimmy, go in the house." "I don't suppose you're the Avon lady?" "I'm sorry." "I have no right to be here." "No, you don't." "This is my house." "I know it is." "I just.." " What?" "What do you want?" "Maybe I just wanted to see you.." "to see how you live." "Maybe I just had to know, it was all real." "It's real." "He snores, he eats too fast, he picks his teeth, he leaves his clothes around." "Yes, it's all real!" "You probably wouldn't know about that, would you?" "How long have you known him?" "A week." "A week!" "I've put in years." "Oh, God!" "But we.. we lost each other a lot longer than a week ago." "But you want him back?" "I once imagined I'd have a house like that." "Things never seem to work out, like we'd imagined them." "Do they?" "Look, Dad, what do you think?" "Pretty sharp work there, cowboy!" "I can't get Saturn's ring to stay on." "Let's see." "Ho.. hold that." "You're back to stay, aren't you, Dad?" "I'm afraid not." "You said you would." "You promised!" "I know I did, Jim." "And it was wrong of me." "But why can't you?" "Why do you have to go?" "You and Mom still love each other, don't you?" "I love you, Jim." "And I always will." "Don't you ever forget that!" "It's OK." "What's the game, Reverend?" " Sudden death!" "Now, smile!" "Smile pig!" "You're right!" "I.." "I can't believe.." "I just said goodbye to Amy and the kids." "Well, say hello to freedom!" "But I met this woman, Hop." "She's pretty special." "Only I'm not sure if we can make it." "You know, make it work." "I mean I told her I meet her tonight." "But I don't know shit.." " You crazy!" "You just walked out of one lousy relationship." "You want to go jump back into a new one!" "We make each other feel like there's something to live for." "That's why Hop!" "There's plenty to live for!" "Look at them all!" "Look at em.." "One for every night of the week!" "There's not a pussy in the joint wouldn't sell her honor for a whiskey sour!" "See the one in the blue over there." "Donna Marlin!" "They call her Michelangelo because she spends half her life looking up at ceilings." "The blonde next to her is Linda Foley." "One smile, she will fall to her knees for the night." "Felt like I was making it with Al Jolson!" "But if you really want great mouth action, check out the one in the gold lame." "Marsha Davis!" "She's a tetanus shot once a month, just to keep her from getting lockjaw." "I'm really beat." "I'm just.." "I just want to split." "But thanks a whole lot.." "for meeting me." " OK." "I mean that." "I'm going to go now." " OK, uh.." "If you get hungry, help yourself to a TV dinner." "I got a freezer full of em." "They make all different kinds now, you know." " Great!" "Nice out." "Beef and wine sauce and turkey and lemon sauce and.." "lemons in turkey sauce." "Any kind of sauce you want, you can eat the whole thing in five minutes." "Scuse me, but you look like a very strong woman, whose been competing with men for so long now, that you're starting to question your femininity." "But secretly, you long for the man who can conquer you." "Is that your analysis?" "Or your fantasy?" "Does it matter?" "Just kidding." "Do you like the Bee Gees?" "Fuck you!" "Why are you doing this?" " Why?" "My mission has always been your salvation." "But you never trusted me."
