The Jane Austen Book Club

- That was her dog.

- No.

I'm saying it affected me.

- Come on.

- Okay, honey. Whatever you say.

Anyway, so Allegra and I are talking about

how we all need to have

connection, you know?

Conversation. Sex.

Companionship.

And Allegra says,

"Well, you get all that from Mommy."

I gotta tell you, it really made me sad.

Oh, baby, she'll find somebody.

No, it made me sad for us.

See, 'cause I've been struggling

with whether a marriage

can sustain all of that

over 20-plus years,

or whether it's just inevitable

that after a certain amount of time...

What are you...

Maybe being with someone else can have

a renewing effect, because for me...

I've been seeing a woman at work.

We've been together six months now.

We can't think of this as a failure.

We have had a very successful marriage.

We've had a long marriage, by any standard.

We've got three wonderful kids.

They're grown, they're working, they're...

Just open the car door, Daniel,

I need a tissue.

The kids, that's... That's all you.

You know, you...

You made all the sacrifices with that.

I know.

But there's a logic to us

quitting while we're ahead.

And I think that they'll be able to see that.

I don't understand a single word

of what you're saying, Daniel.

Who is this woman?

Look, I'm tired of lying to you.

I'm tired of making promises to Pam

that I can't keep.

She deserves better. And so do you.

And I won't give her up.

That's non-negotiable.

Syl.

I really like Edmund in this movie.

Have you seen it?

I love this movie.

Oh, I like it, but it's not Mansfield Park.

It's more of an interpretation.

- Do you know the book?

- Yes.

And I happen to teach film.

- Do you like this movie?

- No.

Do you know it mixes up Fanny Price

with the author of the book?
