Almost You Page #3

- Oak.

- Yeah.

What... What will

I have to do?

- Everything.

- Oh.

Your father

would be very proud.

I really don't

wanna do it.

If you'll just let me show you,

you'll see that this one is not so bad.

Why don't you leave me alone?

Can't you see I'm just a poor cripple?

Oh, Erica,

stop exaggerating.

You're fine. Calling yourself a cripple

is just a defense mechanism.

I was just kidding.

Lie down.

Ow! Wait!

Of course you're afraid.

It's perfectly normal.

Injuries like yours

can be very traumatic.

That's very deep.

Do you charge extra for the analysis,

or is part of the package?

Knees up.

Okay, now, first, we're going

to go slowly to your left.

- Ow.

- And back.

- Now to your right.

- Ow. Ow!

- That didn't hurt.

- It didn't?

- What is going on here?

- Alex!

Alex, I'd like you to meet

the grand inquisitor.

Lisa, this is

my husband, Alex.

- Hello. - You know, this might

sound really stupid...

but haven't I seen you

somewhere before?

God, Alex.

What an inventive opener.

I'm serious.

She looks familiar.

I think I've seen you

at Reedy's.

- Maybe that's it.

- Reedy's?

Wait a minute. You told me Reedy's

was a gay bar. No women allowed.

I lied.

Well, don't be fooled by her face.

She's vicious.

I think that's enough for today.

Would you be happier

with someone else?

Why? Alex and I are very happy together.

That's not what I meant.

What I meant was, would you

prefer another nurse?

Maybe someone older or something?

I'm not sure I can help.

Oh, no, no, no. No, please.

Come back tomorrow.

Really.

I was just kidding around.

I'm always like this.

I'll knuckle under.

Please?

- Okay.

- Great.

- Let me get your coat.

- I'll see you tomorrow.

I knew you looked familiar.

Do you go there a lot?

Not so much anymore.

It's not that

I'm so happy downstairs...

but it's going to be so much worse

with them upstairs.

I don't understand.

I thought you'd reconciled

yourself to the place.

Well, you're not eating it.

I just want you to know that if they find

my body somewhere...

and there's a suicide note with all sorts

of stuff about Chinese food...

you should know that it had nothing

to do necessarily with you.

I just want you to know now

so that later, when you've remarried...

you can sleep easier

knowing that this incident...

was just one

in a whole series of indignities...

that I... I associate,

rightly or wrongly...

with Oriental cuisine.

Are you all right?

Alex, come on.

It is not

the end of the world.

Give yourself a break. You're the boss now.

Maybe you'll like it.

If I start to like it...

you have my permission to shoot me

with the family Luger.

I think

you're overreacting.
