Husbands and Wives Page #3

- I can't just do it on command.|- We can get into it.

Okay, so put your diaphragm on.

You'd never say you were|putting your diaphragm on...

...and then not do it, right?

What?

What a thing to say!

That's a terrible thing to say.

You really trust no one. No wonder|people accuse you of cynicism.

- Okay. I apologize.|- Jesus!

- I'm tired. It's 1 a.m.|- We don't have to do it.

- Are you still attracted to me?|- Yes, I am.

- Truly?|- Of course.

- We do it less and less.|- Our schedules are not exactly...

When we wanted to, we found time.

- Come here.|- Parties, people's bathrooms...

Sit and relax for a minute, will you?

If you remember clearly, when we|used to do that spontaneous sex...

...you never really liked it.|You were always tense.

You always heard people|in the next room making noises.

Now you remember it|in a glorified way.

- Are you ever attracted to other women?|- Like who?

Like all the women you have in class,|who are so talented and insightful.

I'm sure they worship you.

Can I tell you that they don't|want an old man? All right?

I think an old man does better|than an old woman.

Then we're definitely|stuck with one another.

Now, come on. You're really...

Come on.

Some time later,|Sally had a date with Paul...

...a colleague at work|who had always liked her.

- Sally. Come in.|- Thank you very much.

Come into my rent-stabilized den.

- Can I take your coat?|- It's lovely.

I love it. Thank you.

I thought we'd have a drink.

I was able to get tickets|to Don Giovanni.

- Great.|- You all right?

- What would you like?|- Anything. White wine?

White wine.

I hear the staging of this opera|is not to be believed.

Oh, really? How fabulous.

That's lovely.

Oh, hey, don't worry about it.|I'll get it later.

- Can I use the phone?|- Yeah, sure. You all right?

- I'm looking forward to it.|- This way.

A good friend of mine did the sets.

It's me. You are living with her,|aren't you? You've moved in together.

Don't lie to me, Jack. You are.

Because I know.

Because I do.

Yes, I heard.

It's been three f***ing weeks!

How did you meet someone so fast?

Bullshit. You had to have|known her before.

Bullshit! Don't give me that sh*t!

Oh, you're in love?

So fast?

I don't f***ing believe it!

You were seeing whoever it is|all along.

Of course, I expected things|to happen. But not so fast!

Are you that sure?

No, I'm not.

Oh, God, it's just f***ing|dishonest bullshit!

Hi, you...?

I'm fine.

- If you're having a personal...|- Really. I'm okay.

I'm looking forward to tonight.|What are we seeing?

Don Giovanni.

A Don Juan story.

I can only think of it as Mozart.

F***ing Don Juans.
