"I don't know anyone like that." "But I'll tell you this... there's always some reason for it." "In the background." "So you don't think it could happen to somebody, just anybody?" "No." "I don't." "What are you saying?" "Are you in love with a girl?" "No" "Don't you know I want to spend my life with you?" "Come to France with me." "Let's get married." "Richard, I'm not... ready." "For that."

"Do you keep anything in the icebox besides photo chemicals?" "I'm feeling..." "Sure." "Is there any point in, I don't know..." "Fighting it?" "The injunction?" "No." "I feel useless." "Like I can't help you or offer anything it has nothing to do with you." "I'm going away for a while." "When?" "... where?" "Wherever my car will take me." "West." "Soon." "And I thought..." "Perhaps you might like to come with me." "Would you?" "Yes." "Yes, I would." "You don't know her." "You can forward any mail to Chicago, general post" "I've paid the rent through February." "I had a little extra some money I saved" "Terry for our trip." "Our trip, Terry." "And now you're..." "I don't believe this is happening!" "I can't explain it." "I just..."

"I think two weeks form now, you'll be wishing that she'll get tired of you, and then you'll gonna wish you were never..." "You don't understand" "I do,I understand completely." "You're in a trance!" "I'm wide awake." "I've never felt more awake." "Why don't you leave me alone?" "Are we over?" "Is that what this is?" "I didn't say that." "But why should I want to be with you if all you do is argue about this?" " To say - to say for a minute you practically want to say goodbye because of some silly crush!" "I didn't say that." "You said it?" "You made me buy boat tickets, I got a better job for you..." "I asked you to marry me, for christsakes." "I didn't make you do anything." "I never asked you for..." "Anything." "Maybe that's the problem." "I swear to you, two weeks from now you'll be begging me to forget this ever!" "Richard..." "Richard!" "Have a great trip, Terry!" "For you." "Merry Christmas." "Oh no." "You shouldn't have." "Open it." "I played it for you." "At your house." "I remember." "Thank you." "Oh god, I look a fright no you do not, you look wonderful." "Just stay like that." "Do you miss Richard?" "No." "I haven't thought about him all day." "Or of home." "Really." "Home." "I have to speak to her." "What are you doing here?" "You're supposed to be in Florida." "I couldn't do it." "Because rindy wanted to be with her mother on Christmas." "Not that it's any of your business." "Just go get her." "I know she's here." "You've got some fucking nerve ordering me around." "And, no." "She's not here." "That's impossible." "She's not home." "She's not with me." "She must be with you." "You've spent ten years making damned sure her only point of reference is you, your job, your friends, your family, your..." "Where is she." "Goddamn it." "Abby she's still my wife, Abby." "She's my responsibility." "You should have thought of that before you slapped her with that injunction." "I'm closing the door." "I love her." "I can't help you with that." "Carol?" "Therese, is that you?" "Yes!" "Would you be a sweetie and fetch my red knit sweater?" "It's in the big suitcase on the bed." "Okay." "Hey, slowpoke..." "Found it." "Thanks." "Everything all right?"

"Let's get out of here." "There's nothing we can do." "As soon as we got the telegram earliest flight into LaGuardia is tomorrow afternoon..." "Oh Abby, I don't know how to fix this..." "I haven't the strength..." "What are you thinking?" "You know how many times a day I ask you that?" "I'm sorry." "What am I thinking?" "I'm thinking that I'm utterly selfish." "And I don't do this." "You had no idea." "How could you have known?" "I should have said no to you." "But I can never say no." "And it's selfish because I take..." "Everything." "And I don't know..." "Anything." "I don't know what I want." "How could I if I say yes to everything?" "I took what you gave willingly." "It's not your fault, therese." "Alright." "Thank you, darling." "You know." "Shattered." "Sickened." "I hope so." "Anything else you need?" "Talk tomorrow." "Try to get some sleep." "And don't worry." "I will." "And thank you." "Night" "you don't have to sleep over there." "She's gone?" "Early this morning." "Is she coming back?" "No." "This is all my fault." "Nonsense." "We should get going." "Eat something." "Suit yourself." "Why do you hate me?" "I've never done anything to you." "Do you think I've flown halfway across the country to drive you back east because I hate you, and want to see you suffer?" "It's for Carol." "Not for me." "That's..." "With you and Carol, what happened?" "Carol it's completely different." "I've known Carol since I was 10 years old." "It was five or six years ago." "Summer late one night." "My Ford broke down at my mother's house." "We tried to stay up, but..." "Curled up together in my old twin bed." "And that was it... for a while." "And then it changed." "It changes." "Nobody's fault." "So" "Here, she..." "Dearest." "There are no accidents and he would have found us one way or another." "Everything comes full circle." "Be grateful it was sooner rather than later." "You'll think it harsh of me to say so, but no explanation I offer will satisfy you." "Please don't be angry when I tell you that you seek resolutions and explanations because you're young." "But you will understand this one day." "And when it, happens, I want you to imagine me there to greet you." "Our lives stretched out ahead of us, a perpetual sunrise." "But until then, there must be no contact between us." "I have much to do, and you, my darling, even more." "Please believe that I would do anything to see you happy" "and so I do the only thing I can..." "I release you." "Hello?" "Carol?" "I miss you..." "I miss you." "Therese, these are seriously good." "I mean, they really capture..." "Whoever this is." "They're just practice." "You really wanna put together a portfolio." "Say the word, I'll introduce you to my pal at the times." "There's always a clerk job going." "You went away with her, right?" "Yes." "What happened?" "Ohh." "Nothing." "It's hard to..." "Is it because I tried to kiss you that day?" "Because if it is, don't even think about that, I mean, don't be afraid of..." "I'm not afraid." "Let's finish while we still have light, okay?" "I still think you have to put together that portfolio." "Okay." "More mashed potatoes, Carol?" "Yes, thanks." "They look delicious." "Thank you.." "Chester Marge rindy I thought..." "Maybe..." "Chester and Marge would be here..." "With rindy.." "Marge said to go ahead, not to wait." "I'm sure they'll be here soon." "Harge tells us you've been getting along quite well with your doctor, Carol." "And why shouldn't she be getting on well." "He is a very expensive doctor." "Actually he's not a doctor but a psychotherapist." "Well he is very well regarded." "A Yale man, like your uncle." "Does that make him a doctor?" "But I do like him." "Very much." "He's been a great help." "Oh baby..." "My baby girl... mommy!" "Look how much you've grown." "Give me a big squeeze." "That's a long trip, you must be hungry sweetheart." "You want something to eat?" "Stay." "Stay." "Don't be daft." "I don't know if I can keep it happen, Abby." "How many more tomato aspic lunches..." "Then I come home every night without her." "To what like this!" "And therese?" "What about her?" "Have you heard anything?" "Oh no." "No." "It's been over a month since she tried to call." "Nothing since then." "I wish I..." "Have you?" "Heard anything?" "From therese?" "No." "She must have started her job at the times, though." "I should have said:" "Therese." "Wait." "Who the hell is turning around in my drive?" "I should go." "You don't have to." "I do." "We expect given the seriousness of the charges and the incontestability of the evidence, the court will grant solo custody of the child to my client." "Not so fast, Jerry." "My client's psychotherapist is perfectly satisfied with her recovery from..." "The events of the winter and is more than capable of caring for her child." "She's had no further contact with the girl in question." "We have the sworn depositions of two saddle brook institute psychiatrists clearly stating that, in their opinions, a series of events, precipitated by my client's husband, drove her to suffer an emotional break." "Which resulted in this described behavior." "That's absurd!" "Furthermore... alright Fred this is how you're going to play this." "Furthermore, given the manner in which these tapes were obtained and recorded we're confident in their inadmissibility..." "Okay." "First off, I'd like to see these depositions." "And second..." "Fred... please." "Don't... may I speak?" "I won't deny the truth of what's contained in those tapes." "This is off the record, honey." "Might as well be on the record." "Harge." "I want you to be happy." "I didn't give you that." "I failed you." "We both could have given." "More." "But we gave each other rindy, and that's the most breathtaking, the most generous of gifts." "Why are we spending so much time trying to keep her from each other." "What happened with therese, I wanted." "And I will not deny it or say that I reg.." "But I do regret, I grieve the mess we're about to make of our child's life." "Harge we are both responsible." "Let's set it right." "I think that harge should have custody of rindy." "Could I suggest that let's take a break, folks" "Fred, no." "Fred." "Let me have my speak." "Because if you don't..." "I won't be able to cope" "I'm no martyr." "I have no clue what's best for me." "But I do know." "I feel it in my bones what is best for my daughter." "I want visits with her, harge." "I don't care if they're supervised." "But they need to be regular." "There was a time when I would've done most anything" "I would've locked myself away to keep rindy with me." "But what use am" "I to her, to us, living against my own grain so that's the deal." "I won't..." "I cannot negotiate anymore." "Take it or leave it." "If you leave it, we go to court." "We go to court and it will get ugly." "We're not ugly people, harge." "Carol, Carol." "Belivet" "hand delivered." "Swank." "I wasn't sure you'd come." "It's nice of you to see me." "Don't say that." "Do you hate me, therese?" "How could I hate you?" "Abby tells me you're thriving." "You've no idea how pleased I am for you." "You look very fine, you know." "As if you've suddenly blossomed." "Is that what comes of getting away from me?" "No." "What?" "Nothing." "Harge and I are selling the house." "I've taken an apartment on Madison Avenue." "And a job, believe it or not." "I'm going to work for a furniture house on fourth Avenue as a buyer." "Have you seen rindy?" "Once or twice." "She's living with harge for now." "It's the right thing." "Anyway, the apartment's a nice big one..." "Big enough for two." "I was hoping you might like to come and live with me, but I guess you won't." "Would you?" "I don't think so." "I'm meeting some people at the furniture house at the oak room at nine." "If you want to have dinner..." "If you change your mind..." "I think you'd like them." "Well." "That's that." "I love you." "Therese?" "Is that you?" "What do you know!" "I'm saying to myself, I know that girl." "Jack." "It's great to see you, therese." "It's been, well, months." "Months." "Jack, this is Carol arid." "Pleased to meet you." "Likewise." "Hey, Ted gray's meeting me here and a bunch of us are going down to Phil's party." "You're going aren't you?" "Yes." "I just planned to get there a little..." "You should go ahead." "You coming along?" "No." "I should make a few calls before dinner, anyway." "I should really run." "You sure?" "Of course." "Well, it would be great to catch a ride." "Yeah, sure." "You two have a wonderful night." "Nice meeting you, Jack." "Nice meeting you." "Alright, well let me go make sure the loaf is on his way." "Back in a flash." "Yes, right up here." "It's about time, belivet." "Say hello at least it hasn't been that long!" " Hello" " Phil sorry, I was..." "There she is!" "Get up there!" "What?" "Nothing!" "There better be beer." "Or wine." "You can have her, she's one of these real greenwich village phonies if you ask me." "I'm gonna remember that." "Charles." "Where are you going Ted?" "Stick around a minute." "You're Phil's friend, aren't you?" "I... am." "Yes." "I'm dannie's." "Aren't you going to ask me how I knew that?" "Aren't most people here Phil's friends?" "I can see why Phil speaks so highly of you." "Can you?" "Sorry I'll be out in a minute." "Do you have a reservation?" "Sorry I'm looking for someone." "I'm sorry ma'am, I can't seat you without..."
