The Presence Page #3
Be ready to eat in five hours.
- That sounds perfect.
- All right.
- All right.
- Bye.
- Thanks for the flowers.
- You're welcome.
Dinner is served!
Come on, let's go.
Enough work for today.
I made spaghetti.
I'm going to keep working...
I'm finally on a roll.
Uh-huh! Heh-heh.
But you...
I have work,
that's why I came.
Right. I just thought we would...
It's not fair of you to keep asking me
to spend time with you
when I didn't even want you here.
Honey..
what happened?
- I don't...
- Don't!
Yes, that's right. Don't!
Don't do anything.
Just leave me be.
Want some coffee?
I did all right for my virgin try.
Getting pretty good
in there, actually.
I gotta get started.
See how easy it can be?
It wouldn't take much, you know.
She'd be all yours.
Oh, I know you've thought about it.
I've watched you.
But then...
what can you do?
You know you can't.
Why would you even try?
You can't do much of anything, really.
Well, not right now.
You could have many things.
Pleasures that have been
denied you a long time.
An old vice, for instance,
that can no longer
do you harm.
Escape...
from this place.
Surely, you haven't forgotten
what it's like.
Oh, I know it must seem
like an eternity,
But your eternity is
only just beginning.
Do you really want to
spend it trapped here?
Imagine...
being anywhere you want.
Anytime.
Freedom.
Or...
even in a different way?
I can give you many things.
I can give you everything..
It's your choice.
You can see it when you look in his eyes.
I cannot warn you enough.
You don't want that, do you?
What makes you think
he's not gonna do the same thing?
He's gonna molest your children.
You have to see that. You have to see that.
You have to understand that she does not
want any commitment at all.
She can't handle that sort of thing.
Easy.
Just give me your hand
and you'll be free.
You only have to do one thing.
And she can be all yours.
Think about it.
You'll be no different
than you are now.
He may even take your place.
You can't get something for nothing.
You of all people should know that.
Easy...
It's okay.
Trust me.
Hey...
So, you're just not talking to me now?
First you say you'll marry me
and now you act like
you don't want anything to do with me.
All right. All right.
What do you want me to say?
Oh...
I don't know, I don't know.
Something like,
"Hey, gee, we're engaged."
"Oh, my gosh, I'm so happy, I'm so glad
I didn't waste three years of his life,
"while I tried to decide
if I was capable of being with somebody."
Something like that.
