Some Velvet Morning Page #3

Synopsis: Fred (Stanley Tucci) arrives at the doorstep of his beautiful young mistress Velvet (Alice Eve) after four years apart, claiming to have finally left his wife. But when she rejects his attempts to rekindle their romance, his persistence evolves into obsession - and a dark history between the former lovers comes into focus. A return to form for writer/director Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men, Your Friends & Neighbors), Some Velvet Morning is an astutely written portrait of a very modern romance.

right thing, the decent thing.

I've never...

- True?

- I'm not disagreeing.

Yeah, but you're not exactly waving a f***ing

flag in my direction either, are you?

I agree with you, Fred.

- There you go, is that better?

- Yes, thanks.

- Good.

- Don't say it if you don't mean it.

- I won't.

- Obviously not.

No, I mean, if you don't feel

it, you know, don't say it.

Don't say it to me. Just say it.

What?

You're being a little bit pushy! You're not pushy.

No, that's the wrong word.

You're being a little bit, you

know, charged up about things.

And it's a little bit unnerving.

Yeah, so just...

Just let it be.

I mean, come on.

I'm not like the Beatles or

something.

That's funny.

All right, so anyway, what time

do you have to go?

- No, I'm good on time.

- Take a shower, do what you gotta do.

I'm just gonna stay here. I'm

fine, I'll be all right.

- No, Fred.

- What? No, go, go.

I mean, go ahead. I've seen you in

a towel before, don't be bashful.

It's okay. It's all right. Go do

what you have to do.

- I'm all right.

- No, really, I mean it.

Go douche or whatever that, you

know, whatever.

Fred...

I'm fine, I said.

I might throw on some different

clothes, but otherwise...

Okay, fine. Yeah, no, good. I

mean, you ought to know, right?

You ought to know your schedule much

better than anyone. Particularly me.

- Yeah.

- Even Chris, right?

I should, yeah.

How is old Chris doing anyway?

How's Wonderboy doing?

He's good. The last time I saw

him, which was...

- When?

- I was just about to say.

- Okay, sorry.

- Fred, come on.

Just relax. Everything is fine.

It's okay.

That feels good.

Your hand there.

Your touch.

Okay, I'm glad, but I wasn't

trying to...

I know. You were just trying to

comfort me, that's all.

I know you weren't trying to get all sexy

or whatever, you know. I'm not stupid.

- I wasn't calling you anything.

- It's fine.

I knew it was what it was if it was

not filled with personal history.

I just wanted to be clear.

I got it. Look, and I just

reacted to it, okay?

When I feel a sensation, that's the way

I just react, whether it's good or bad.

I'm a reactive person. That's

the way I am. I have no...

And I'm not gonna apologize for that.

Not to you, not to anybody. So...

Anyway, I don't want to talk about this

anymore because my nerves are shot today...

and I really want you to see me

at my best.

I don't want you to, you know, see

me like some horrible, like...

It's fine. It's okay.

No, it's actually not okay. It's

not.

If it were okay, I would be saying to

you, "Hey, you know what? This is okay. "

But actually this is not an okay

moment for me. Okay?

That was me being funny, okay?
