Another Woman Page #2

Synopsis: Having recently turned fifty, Marion feels that she has led a so far blessed life. The well-respected Dean of Philosophy at a women's college, she is currently on sabbatical to write her latest book. Although her first husband Sam died tragically fourteen years ago from a mixture of alcohol and pills, she has recently remarried to Ken, who, married at the time, pursued her, while Ken's writer friend, Larry, also professed his love for her. She has a good relationship with her step-daughter Laura, seemingly better than Laura has with either Ken or Laura's own volatile mother, Kathy. Between her and her brother Paul, Marion always had the attention of their academic father. And she and Ken have a wide circle of friends with who they regularly and willingly socialize. But a series of incidents with these people in her life makes Marion wonder about the decisions that she's made, most specifically whether her cerebral and judgmental nature has been alienating to those around her.

Well, it may not seem fair to you, but

it's up to you to deal with her moods.

Well, if she can't, then you

just have to rise above it.

OK? I'll see you at my father's tomorrow.

We'll talk about it then. OK.

Bye-bye.

She listens to you cos she looks up

to you. Me, there's no communication.

It's just... It's a terrible situation.

(d "The Bilbao Song" on piano)

Hey.

Take you back?

God, yeah.

Would you ever think of making love

to me on the living room floor?

Would you want me to?

I don't know. Would you want to?

I don't know.

Actually, I don't think I see you

as the hardwood floor type.

No?

Hey, Ken, what are you doing

in there? Have you eaten?

Hello, Lydia. Look,

you know my wife pretty good.

Would you say that she was the type

to enjoy sex on the living room floor?

- Ken!

- Oh, my God. You know, you guys...

- I'm only teasing.

- That was really embarrassing before.

But not unpleasant

if you don't get splinters.

Next morning I'd agreed to meet

my sister-in-law who wanted to see me.

I waited as long as I could, but when

she didn't show up I decided to leave.

- Marion. I'm sorry.

- Oh, hi.

- I got stuck in traffic.

- Oh. The thing is, I'm really late now.

- Sorry. I just need a few minutes.

- Well, I'm so behind schedule.

You said eight, and I waited,

but I've gotta get going.

- Stupid bus wouldn't move.

- Maybe some other time.

I've gotta be disciplined when I'm writing,

Lynn, or I'm not gonna get it done in time.

I need to borrow some money. You know,

Paul and I are getting a divorce.

I heard. I'm sorry.

- Are you?

- Why do you say it like that?

Because... I know you

never really approved of me.

Why, I hardly know you.

It's not from my lack of trying.

Oh, look, I know this must all be very

upsetting to you. But, you know...

I'm sorry.

If you needed money,

how come Paul didn't ask me?

Well... he wouldn't.

Well, why not? He has before.

Marion,

don't you know how he feels about you?

Sure. We've always been very close.

You're deluding yourself.

Of course, in a way he idolises you, but...

he also hates you.

I'm sorry, I don't accept that.

You're such a perceptive woman. How

can you not understand his feelings?

Look, um, I'm late, and...

and, uh...

to tell you the truth, I make it a practice

of never getting into these conversations.

They're fruitless, and people say

things that they're sorry for later.

Why don't you just tell me how much you

need and I'll discuss it with Ken. OK?

The encounter with my

sister-in-law had left me angry,

but I refused to let it

interfere with my work.

I had a reasonably productive day,

but as late afternoon approached

I began to feel anxious somehow.
