Why Did I Get Married? Page #3

Synopsis: Dr. Patricia Agnew, a psychologist, has written a best seller about marriage: hers and those of three other couples who together take a week's vacation each year to ask themselves, "Why did I get married?" It's time for one of those weeks, and all four relationships are strained: Patricia and her husband Gavin have the shadow of grief between them; Terry believes that Diane has abandoned him for her work; Angela, who's built a successful business, belittles her husband Marcus, who works for her; Mike is cruel to Sheila, his religious, overweight wife. During the week, each person's secret comes out. Will these marriages survive?

- Excuse me?

- Nothing.

Do you mind?

Fifi is trying to nap.

You know what?

Well, Angela is trying to have

a conversation with her husband.

I'm about sick of y'all

interrupting my conversation.

I don't give a damn about Fifi.

I heard those little

smart-ass remarks

you made, too.

Didn't your mama

teach you something?

Who the hell do these

people think they are anyway?

Didn't y'all see me having

a conversation with my husband

when I got on this train?!

Trying to save

a damn marriage here.

What about you

and your husband?

What about us?

I know you've been

through a lot lately,

and I am so sorry for your loss,

but I mean, how

is your marriage holding up?

Um...

you can ask my husband yourself.

Um... ahem.

We're gonna be late for our flight.

That's how we're doing.

Well, there you have it.

Thank you.

Wow. The brochure didn't

do this place justice.

Look at this.

How you guys doing?

Welcome to Lake Leland.

Thank you. You must be

Sheriff Jackson.

Troy. Please, call me Troy.

Hey, I'm Terry.

- A pleasure.

- This is my wife Dianne.

Nice to meet you both.

Well, everything's

all set up for you.

Here are your keys.

Plenty of wood for you already

chopped up out back,

but we're expecting

a huge snowstorm tonight,

so you may want to

chop some more.

It should be over by morning.

It gets pretty thick up here.

Oh, OK. Thanks

for the heads up, man.

No problem. I thought

there were more of you.

Oh, there are.

They're gonna be here

within the next few hours.

Oh, good.

Then they'll beat the storm.

Need anything?

I appreciate the house, man.

Thank you.

I'll be at the sheriff's

station down the mountain.

OK. Thank you.

Hey, this is Mike. I can't get

to the phone, so holler at me.

You know what to do.

Hey, Mike.

It's Shelia.

I hope you and Trina

had a good flight.

I'll get there

as soon as I can.

Miss you, baby.

I love you.

#... Thus far #

# And grace will lead me #

# On, ohh! #

# Can you believe it? #

# Clap your hands #

# Everybody #

# Whoa #

# I'm gonna keep on clapping my hands #

# Yeah #

So, Dianne, I was

thinking we could have...

Dianne?

Wine and candles

are down here.

What are you doing?

Hey, Dianne, we...

Dianne.

Hello?

Hey, Monica, how you doing?

No, no. She's asleep.

Monica, listen,

do me a favor.

Don't call this week.

We're on vacation, OK?

Oh, I understand all that,

I understand all that,

but I'm saying to you,

I'm telling you not to call, OK?

- Knock, knock. Hey.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- Good. How are you?

Good to see you, Patricia.

- What's going on, Gavin?

- Hey, brother.

- You all right?

- Good to see you. Yes, sir.

- Good to see you, man.
