5 to 7 Page #2
Thank you,
but you're a man infatuated
and so nothing you say
can be believed.
What made you settle
in New York?
I married a diplomat
who was assigned here.
I mean, I wondered
if you'd been married.
What happened to him?
What do you mean?
The person
you were married to.
Were married to?
Well, I'm married to.
Well, nothing happened to him.
He works at
the French Consulate.
It's a few blocks from here.
So... so, you're married?
Of course,
what did you think?
I thought you
were... not married.
For one thing, you don't
wear a wedding ring.
So American, you need
a signpost for everything
or you'll completely
lose your way.
It's not just Americans.
Many cultures have
indicators of marriage.
Rings, piercings, dots..
...designed to keep people
out of exactly this sort of..
...awkward situation.
Do you wish you were not
in that situation?
Oh, so we seem to be
mutually pursuing one another.
Yes, so?
Well, I, uh..
I would have thought
you'd mention...
Well, must everything
be mentioned?
Can nothing be culled from the subtext?
Well...
Do you not understand
the meaning of 5 to 7?
somehow unclear
because I thought I was
very clear about my confusion.
I thought you were kidding.
No. No.
I was actually confused.
And what did you think
I meant when I said
I was only free at those hours?
I thought you had
a very busy schedule
or you were unprepared
to spend the later
and definitionally sexier hour
Oh... it was a code.
A code.
Un cinq a sept,
uh, a 5 to 7 relationship
is a relationship
outside of marriage.
Seriously the French actually
block out time for that?
No.
1 to 3 lunch,
3 to 5 conference call.
5 to 7 commit adultery.
Look...
Do you set aside time
Do you covet at 9:30? Worship
false idols from 10 to noon?
It's not literal.
It's an expression.
It re... refers to a time
in the evening
where a person's whereabouts
might naturally be
a little hazy.
Okay, I have a very good
French dictionary
and that is definitely
not in there.
No, it wouldn't be.
Now, back in the day
such things did tend to happen
from 5 to 7, I think.
But these days,
they happen all the time
but my husband and I,
we have found that..
...the original hours
work very well.
They provide a set window
and... clear boundaries.
I guess, that makes us
old-fashioned.
Yes, entirely.
So, your husband does this too?
He has a mistress.
Her name is Jane.
And you know her?
From time to time,
I see her at social functions.
Well, nothing
is ever flaunted
and so, no one
