when you woke me out of a dead, pleasant|sleep and demanded the use of my body.
- You could have said no.|- What?. Are you kidding me?.
That was a call to action.
I dressed in 30 seconds|like a volunteer fireman.
I was insane--
You should stop talking and listen|to me. I got something to say to you.
Oh, yeah?.
- Words are my stock-in-trade,Joyce.|- I know.
You can't just|stop up the floodgate.
- Put that down.|- What?.
- We need to stop this.|- Stop what?.
God, I love watching you|in the bathroom.
You're like an athlete after the game,|scraping off the war paint.
I meant, we need to stop|seeing each other.
Oh, really?.
This whole thing was a bad idea.
Generally, I have good judgment,|but this time, right out the window.
This whole thing is a great idea.|Nobody knows about us.
We all go out, I sit there and...
you know, a few hours later...
I know I'm going to be|the traveling salesman...
and you're going to be|the lonely housewife.
I need you to be an adult about this.|No scenes.
Joyce, I am your boy.|I'm your thoroughbred.
Adult. Understand?.
Forget about the keys, okay?.|Just keep the keys with--
Tonight is our last night,|so let's make it a good one.
Good-bye sex is never good.
Next week, we'll have|"get back together" sex--
- Can I stay the night?.|- Roger, no.
Right.
Hi. Can I have a Cosmo and|a Maker's Mark on the rocks?. Thanks.
- Let's have a talk.|- I'm sorry. I'm with some people.
Let me guess.
You're relatively new at the company.
Maybe you moved to New York from|somewhere else. Somewhere friendly.
First you took pride in being alone.
Wanna make a name foryourself|in the big city.
After a while, you started thinking|how it might be nice to meet somebody.
Winter's not far off,|and it gets lonely sometimes.
Okay. And?.
And so you develop a crush|on your supervisor...
even though the other women|in the office tell you...
" Keep clear. He's bad news."
- Why is he bad news?.|- Because he's a player.
He's a guy who collects trophies.
Every woman who takes a job there|ends up in bed with him.
And ifyou give in to temptation...
you'll end up the punch line|to a sordid joke by the water cooler.
Am I hot or cold?.
- It's a good story.|- It's a cliche.
So what do you do|when you're not reducing the world?.
What's wrong with reduction,|boiling things down to their essence?.
What's wrong with...|seeing what's really going on?.
And what's really going on?.|What's the big revelation?.
Why should I tell you?.
Telling you|isn't going to change anything.
For instance, I could tell you that|what you think of as your personality...
is nothing but a collection|of Van aarticles.
