John and Mary Page #3

Synopsis: It's the morning after John and Mary's first sexual encounter with each other, which took place in his New York City loft apartment. They had only met for the first time the previous evening at a crowded trendy pick-up bar. They are both uncomfortable with the situation but don't want to show that discomfort to the other. They both realize that they don't know anything substantial about the other - including not even knowing each other's name - as each tries through whatever secret means to find out with who he/she just slept. As they slowly find out more about the other, they inject their own perception into the information, which is sometimes not quite reality. Over the next few hours, they, together and individually, will try to determine if there is any potential future for them, which includes their thoughts about the current most significant other in their respective lives, one who is more significant than the other, and their feelings about what they think the other person is th

14:55,387 -- 00:14:58,322

I, uh, suppose you haven't

got time for breakfast?

113

00:
14:58,390 -- 00:15:00,483

Hmm? Do you want me

to make it?

114

00:
15:00,559 -- 00:15:02,789

- What? No. I'll-

- Do you want me-

115

00:
15:02,861 -- 00:15:05,022

I'll do it.

116

00:
15:10,089 -- 00:15:13,718

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

117

15:30,943 -- 00:15:33,639

[ Kettle Whistling ]

118

00:
16:30,536 -- 00:16:32,561

You've got a lot of room here.

119

00:
16:32,638 -- 00:16:36,301

[ Thinking ]

Is your wife away for the weekend?

120

00:
16:36,375 -- 00:16:38,809

I like a lot of room.

121

00:
16:40,712 -- 00:16:44,671

[ Thinking ]

So you found the spare room.

122

00:
16:44,750 -- 00:16:46,911

Everything is so tidy.

123

00:
16:46,985 -- 00:16:49,647

Our kitchen

always looks like a battlefield.

124

00:
16:50,923 -- 00:16:54,415

[ Thinking ]

Maybe his wife left him.

125

00:
16:54,493 -- 00:16:59,328

[ Thinking ]

Who do you live with? Husband? Boyfriend?

126

00:
16:59,398 -- 00:17:01,593

I hope you like your egg.

127

00:
17:01,667 -- 00:17:06,104

It's great.

[ Thinking ] You want me to stay.

128

00:
17:06,171 -- 00:17:08,332

It's a farmer's egg.

129

00:
17:08,407 -- 00:17:12,173

Where do you get farmers' eggs?

130

00:
17:12,244 -- 00:17:15,543

- I buy them.

- From a farmer?

131

00:
17:16,748 -- 00:17:18,773

No, at a store.

132

00:
17:18,851 -- 00:17:21,012

You can if you make

a point of it.

133

00:
17:21,086 -- 00:17:24,715

- I mean, it's worth taking a little trouble.

- Yeah. I guess so.

134

00:
17:31,897 -- 00:17:34,559

The chicken that laid

that egg, uh...

135

00:
17:34,633 -- 00:17:37,397

ate only what nature provided it.

It's organic.

136

00:
17:39,404 -- 00:17:43,170

That's a good thing?

[ Thinking ] Must be some sort of health food nut.

137

00:
17:43,242 -- 00:17:47,702

Myself, I just rush

into the supermarket and buy...

138

00:
17:47,779 -- 00:17:50,873

pre-fabricated, synthetic-

any kind of stuff.

139

00:
17:50,949 -- 00:17:53,816

Plastic eggs laid by computers,

as far as I'm concerned.

140

00:
18:15,073 -- 00:18:17,337

- Coffee?

- Thank you.

141

00:
18:17,409 -- 00:18:19,570

- Uh, cream and sugar.

- Oh.

142

00:
18:30,622 -- 00:18:33,614

An egg's not what

you usually have, is it?

143

00:
18:35,961 -- 00:18:39,761

Well, uh, it all depends-

[ Thinking ] on who I wake up with.

144

00:
18:39,831 -- 00:18:42,391

[ Thinking ]

Depends on who you wake up with.

145

00:
18:42,467 -- 00:18:45,436

Hmm.

146

00:
18:45,504 -- 00:18:48,268

- Coffee's delicious.

- [ Thinking ] Do you always jump into bed...

147

00:
18:48,340 -- 00:18:51,275

the first time you meet someone?
