Gone with the Woman Page #2

- Like what?

Where do we spend the holidays?

Together or apart? What will we eat?

I'm spending Christmas Eve

with my parents.

I see.

I am not spending it with mine.

Christmas is a great time.

I enjoy spending it with my folks.

Fine.

Hi, mum. It's me.

Can I bring a friend for Christmas?

Great. Bye.

It's okay with them, Marianne.

- You did that just to be nice.

- No...

If that's the way it's going to be,

I'd rather sit alone and watch TV.

Stop it.

If you think I'm a spoilt brat,

just say so!

Shut up! I want you to come!

I didn't do it just to be nice!

You're going to come

and we will all have a good time!

Imagine...

Our first Christmas together!

I bought her father an egg boiler.

And had it sent to him.

FROM:
MARIANNE

I felt partly responsible for

her falling out with her father.

And Christmas did come.

My family of course thought Marianne

was an absolutely lovely girl.

Oh, it's great!

And then New Year's...

What is your favourite part

of being grown-up?

- Splitting an apple with my hands.

- Can you really do that?

I'll show it to you sometime.

You're the best thing

that has happened to me...

- ...in the last year.

- In the last year?

Yeah...

My father!

It's the perfect occasion

to make up with him.

As the new year begins.

Hi, dad.

Oh yeah, right... The gift.

Sure. The egg boiler...

I'm glad you liked it.

Happy New Year to you too, dad.

Damn you...

Damn you!

- You went behind my back!

- I was only trying to help.

I honestly didn't

expect this from you!

I'm deeply hurt.

I thought you were my best friend!

I thought I could trust you!

Your relationship with your father

should not affect me.

I see no reason to spend the new year

anywhere near you!

Bloody hell!

Mar...

Marianne!

Marianne!

I figured she would call and say

she had been unreasonable.

Marianne did not call to say

she had been unreasonable.

F***.

I'VE BEEN UNREASONABLE

I've been unreasonable...

I've been unreasonable...

It had taken her four days to realise

that she had been unreasonable.

But now I'm here. Forgive me.

Let's start over again.

You're so cute when you sleep.

You look like you're in love.

Are you in love? With me?

- I don't know...

- That means you are.

But... Are you in love with me?

I think so.

So is ''I don't know'' a stronger

indication than ''I think so''?

It might be...

In that case, I am more in love

with you than you are with me.

That makes me so happy.

...she said. And promised

to fall as deeply in love as I had.

You're the best man we've had.

- But no one is indispensable.

- No?

You've not done a poor job.

But times are tough.

- I may be a man of the future?

- Who knows? Things might pick up.
