Starting Over Page #3

And branches.

And I've got a window seat.

That sounds really great.

Yeah, I got this great door

with moulding that goes all around.

What do you think

about us seeing each other again?

Honey, didn't you get

the notification from the court?

Notification?

Well, it's final, you know.

We're divorced.

You know, that thing

that you said to me the last night?

I'll always treasure it, Phil. Always.

What thing?

When you said that

you were happy that we'd been married.

Jessie?

Yeah?

I've changed my mind.

Listen, I may as well say it

and get it over with.

I started seeing my ex-wife again.

Now, I know.

I don't know what to say about it.

It just...

Maybe you're all just gonna have to

tie me to the mast till I can get over this.

It's this crazy thing he has.

He keeps marrying the same woman.

I know we can't be together.

It doesn't work.

But she called.

And even though I know

how balled up everything always gets...

I really can't stay away.

I love her.

Oh, boy.

I'm sorry.

I think you get off on being miserable.

And when you're not miserable,

it feels like something's wrong.

Excuse me. I think that is disgusting.

Everett, were you divorced recently?

It was last July.

It was our 43rd wedding anniversary.

She said there were no surprises left.

What a thing to say.

After a lifetime together.

A lifetime of faithfulness...

despite many urgent temptations.

No surprises.

I'm gonna be 72 soon.

And still, I'm amazed...

that the women I meet seem so sure...

so certain, about getting involved.

You have no idea...

how many women want you

when you're getting old.

How many liver-spotted female hands

reach out...

to squeeze the last drops

from your body...

as they go about living

longer than we do.

Everett, with all due respect...

I don't think

that's a very healthy attitude.

Excuse us, gentlemen.

He's funny, isn't he? You're very funny.

Nighty-night. Sleep tight.

The kids loved you. You loved the kids.

You want some more wine?

To do what you got to do

Hold your head up high

You've got it made

It's gonna be

There you go. Excuse me.

Well, I guess we're ready to go.

Listen, we shouldn't be too late.
