Another Woman Page #3

(woman) I really can't

believe I'm saying this.

Lately I've had odd feelings

about my marriage.

It's as if it's been... coming apart.

And I've just been,

in so many ways, denying it.

I must admit,

I have moments when I question

whether I made the right choice.

I've told you there

was someone else once.

The last time I saw him

was several years ago,

before I was married, at a party.

(d "A Fine Romance")

Stop it. Just stop it. This is just crazy.

I'm marrying Ken, that's all there is to it.

- How can you marry Ken? You love me.

- I... what? You're so conceited.

What makes you think that I love you?

I know. There are some things

one knows just so surely as...

Well, I-I... I'm... I... You're wrong,

and I'm sorry if I've misled you.

- It's you you're misleading.

- I'm surprised at you.

I mean, Ken is your close friend.

I love everything about you, and

I want you to come and live with me...

Stop it! Stop it. Right now.

(woman) Marion? We're toasting!

Just go away.

To Ken and Marion

on their big day next week.

And to Marion's new book. German

philosophy will never be the same.

Let's hope not.

You'll go on for ever. Heidegger

definitely got what he deserved.

Hey, I'd like to propose a toast.

To good health and happiness.

- Aren't you gonna drink to Marion?

- Yes, why not?

I drink to Marion with my eyes.

Smoothie. Old smoothie.

(doorbell)

I was just returning some things.

You could stop staring.

I'm not a ghost.

Well, we did spend a few years together,

had a child together, in this house.

I wish you'd called.

I'm not staying. Although some of

these people used to be my friends too.

- Would you like a drink?

- Kitty...

Don't panic, I'm not accepting.

These are artefacts from

more civilised days between us.

(Ken) I think perhaps you

should just leave them and go.

Which one's Marion?

- I am.

- Kathy, this is in terrible taste, you know.

Oh, my ex-husband

is an authority on taste!

Now what does Emily Post say about

adultery with a philosophy professor

in a Holiday Inn while his wife is in the

hospital having her ovaries removed?

- OK, that's enough. Now please leave.

- Ah, jeez.

I realise that you've been hurt, and

if I've done anything wrong I am sorry.

Forgive me. I accept your condemnation.

I'm so sorry.

(d "Make Believe")

What can I say to change your heart?

I'm really amazed at you.

He's your friend. He's just... He's just

had an embarrassing experience.

Yes, he is my friend. And I love him.

But he's a prig. He's cold and he's stuffy.

Can't you see that? "I accept

your condemnation." Jesus!

He handled a very

difficult moment quite well.

Oh, too well. Do you like that?
