Manhattan Page #2

any more about having kids?

Oh, my God. Kids.

Listen, I've gotta get this book

finished. it's never gonna get done.

I've gotta get the money

to get this magazine started, huh?

Kids...

We always talk about moving to

Connecticut. You could do it there.

- Connecticut.

- Yeah.

I can't go to Connecticut.

It's not practical.

All my stuffs here.

My work's here.

It's just the wrong time.

What about Isaac?

We can't abandon him, you know?

He can't function anywhere

other than New York, you know that.

Very Freudian.

Mm-mm...

Are you writing a book

on our marriage?

Leave me alone.

- Are you writing about our break-up?

- We've said all that needs to be said.

I know you are because

I have a friend at Random House.

- I'm free to do as I please.

- Yeah, but this affects me.

So you're gonna tell everybody

everything? Our life, our sexual life?

Do you spy on me?

No. I was at a party and a guy said

he read an advance chapter...

...of a book my wife was writing,

and it was hot stuff. He said that!

- I spilled wine on my pants.

- I don't care to discuss it.

- You won't discuss it. How's Willie?

- Fine.

Well, give me some details. Does he

play baseball? Wear dresses? What?

He doesn't wear dresses.

You'll find out the details

when it's your turn to see him.

Don't write this book.

It's a humiliating experience.

It's an honest account of our break-up.

Jesus, everybody that knows us

is gonna know everything.

Look at you. You're so threatened.

I'm not threatened because I was not

the immoral, psychotic, promiscuous one.

I hope I didn't leave out anything.

Are you telling me that... that I'm...

that you had three affairs before me?

That's really hard to believe.

It's mind-boggling.

When I was your age, I was still being

tucked in by my grandparents.

Well, they were really immature boys.

They were nothing like you.

No? What does that mean?

Well, I told you before.

I think I'm in love with you.

Hey, don't get carried away, OK?

This is... This is a terrific thing -

move over - you know.

And we're having a great time,

but you're a kid

and I never want you to forget that.

You're gonna meet

a lot of terrific men in your life...

...and, you know,

I want you to enjoy me.

My wry sense of humor

and astonishing sexual technique...

...but never forget that you've...

you've got your whole life ahead of you.

Don't you have any feelings for me?

How can you ask that?

I've got nothing but feelings for you...

...but you don't wanna get hung up

with one person at your age.

It's... charming, you know.

Erotic.

No question about that.

As long as the cops don't burst in,

I think we're gonna break
