JOANNA:
My American Express...My
Bloomingdale's Credit Card...
My check book--
TED:
(the martyr)
Okay, okay...What is it this
time? What did I do now?...
JOANNA:
(ignoring this)
I took two thousand out of the
savings account. That was what
I had in the bank when we got
married.
TED:
Joanna, whatever it is, believe
me, I'm sorry.
JOANNA:
Here are the slips for the laundry
and the cleaning. They'll be
ready on Saturday.
TED:
(hard lining it)
Now listen, before you do something
you'll really regret you'd better
stop and think--
JOANNA:
(not bothering to
look up)
I've paid the rent, the Con-Ed
and the phone bill, so you don't
She checks off the last item on her list as her husband
watches, dumbfounded.
JOANNA:
There, that's everything.
Joanna gets to her feet and starts toward the front
door. In an instant Ted is after her.
TED:
(panic starting)
For God's sake, Joanna, would
you at least tell me what I did
that's so terrible! Would you
do me that little favor?
ON JOANNA--at the door.
JOANNA:
Look, it's not your fault, okay?
It's me. It's my fault--you
just married the wrong person.
TED:
(placating her)
So we've got problems. Everybody's
got problems--that's normal--
Joanna opens the door and they step out into the hallway.
14 INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE KRAMER APT. - EVENING
JOANNA:
Ted, you're not listening to me.
It's over, finished.
TED:
I'm listening, Joanna--believe me,
I'm listening. My wife is walking
out on me after eight years of--
JOANNA:
(bitter)
You just don't get it, do you?
(as though to a child)
I - am - really - and - truly -
leaving - you.
TED:
I heard you, Joanna. I promise
I heard you.
JOANNA:
No you didn't.
(quietly)
You didn't even ask about Billy.
TED:
(stiffening)
What about Billy?
JOANNA:
I'm not taking him with me.
TED:
What?
JOANNA:
(tears start)
Ted, I can't...I tried...I really
tried but...I just can't hack it
anymore...
TED:
C'mon, Joanna, you don't mean
that. You're a terrific mother--
JOANNA:
(from her gut)
I am not! I'm a terrible mother!
I'm an awful mother. I yell at
him all the time. I have no
patience. No...No. He's better
off without me.
(unable to look
at Ted)
Ted, I've got to go...I've got
to go.
TED:
(desperate)
Okay, I understand and I promise
I won't try and stop you, but you
can't just go...Look, come inside
and talk...Just for a few minutes.
JOANNA:
(pleading)
NO!...Please...Please don't make
me stay...I swear...If you do,
sooner or later...maybe tomorrow,
maybe next week...maybe a year
from now...
(looking directly
at him)
I'll go right out the window.
