acting kind of off, is all.

Off? How? I don't know. Threatening me.

What does she want? Car?

Vacation, something?

No. Yeah, a vacation.

I'll tell you, when Susan

used to threaten me,

I did what we all want to do.

Head up to Brewsky's, not call,

come home Iate piss drunk,

a big "screw you."

You see how that worked out. Uh-huh.

If I had to do it again,

I'd be on it with flowers, a card,

dinner, maybe even a necklace.

I'd be in there Iike the Orkin

Man and kill that thing dead.

Maybe then I wouldn't be in a condo.

ARNOLD:
The girl Iiked those best.

I told her how much you Iiked the ocean.

This is your boarding pass.

Oh, come on.

The flight Ieaves at 10:02 in the morning.

What is wrong with you? What

are you trying to do to us?

I want a real marriage again, Arnold.

A real marriage? This isn't real

after 31 years? This isn't real?

When's the Iast time that you touched me

that wasn't just for a picture?

When's the Iast time you kissed me?

I kiss you every day.

We're not 22 years old anymore,

things change.

I could be more... You know. I could...

Um, this is insane.

The flight Ieaves at 10:02 tomorrow.

I'm going to be on it.

Your supper's on the table.

You're not even... You're

not even gonna...

Aren't...

So if you're one of those people

that's looking for more distance,

well if you're doing this, guess

what? I don't like your chances.

Good morning.

Morning, ma'am. Let me take this for you.

Thank you.

# Another day

# You're doing fine

# Everything's okay

# Got all your ducks in line

How far is this place, anyway?

Only a couple of hours.

Couple of hours. That's enough

to put us in Canada.

I'm really glad you came, Arnold.

Yeah?

Well, you tell me that when we get Iost

and wind up in downtown Montreal

and everybody's talking French.

# Don't be concerned

# Ain't nothing wrong

# Watch the table turn

# It's your favorite song

# It's all right

There's a hotel. Is that it?

Mmm...

No.

We're at the Econo Lodge.

# You make it better

# Life is good #

They were in the car, under the seat.

Oh! Oh.

What time does this thing

start in the morning?

10:
30.

We might as well be on time.

Get our money's worth.

Mmm-hmm.

I'll set the alarm.

I wouldn't give us too much extra time.

It's probably impossible to get

Iost in a burg this size.

Mmm.

Well... Well...

We, we could...

(SIGHS)

I guess I'll go see how

the pull-out works.

(SNIFFS) Uh...

(SIGHS)

Goddamn! How is this thing supposed to...
