3 Men and a Little Lady Page #6

This must be

limiting for you.

It is.

That's the problem.

If Mary and I

hadn't moved in,

- you'd be in different places now.

- We'd be married.

We'd be divorced.

You saved us a fortune.

Joke all you want,

but Mary needs a

more normal environment.

She's very confused

and so am I.

Okay, I'll live up

to my responsibility.

You want

to marry me?

Jack, be serious.

I am! We had

a child together.

What do you say?

- Want to sleep on it?

- She did that once.

Hey, shut up!

Do you want

to marry me?

No.

No?

But thank you

for asking.

Whew!

That was a close one.

Jack, you're a wonderful

man and a great father,

- but you'd be a terrible husband.

- I can live with that.

Besides,

I don't love you.

Not romantically.

You don't love me either.

- How do you know?

- I know.

- Maybe he does.

No, he's not

that good an actor.

I know you

too well.

- I could fool you.

- Never!

I never know what

to do with my hands.

My hands are always

giving me away.

I didn't

come down here...

expecting the 3 of you

to draw straws for me.

A lot of things

are changing.

It's time

we face it.

Come in.

- Oh, Peter! Is Mary all right?

- She's fine.

Last time you came

to the theater,

she had a raisin

in her ear.

- That was Jack who put

the raisin in her ear.

- I should've known.

That's a

very pretty dress.

Thank you.

- What brings you here?

- You.

- Me?

- You're right. We haven't been...

paying enough

attention to your needs.

There's something that

I wanted to say to you...

without Michael

and Jack around.

What is it?

Well,

I think you should get

married and have more kids.

If they're like Mary,

you should have a dozen.

I just wanted you

to know that.

Whatever you decide,

I'll support you.

Is that all?

Well, make sure

you pick the right guy!

Don't just rush

into it.

I'm not rushing

into anything.

That's what everybody thinks

when they're doing it.

- This is a huge step.

- Maybe it's time

we take some huge steps.

Picking the wrong person

is the worst mistake.

- I know.

- Do you?

- How many times have you been married?

- Once.

What?

When?

We've spent all

this time together,

and you've never

told me.

Well, it was

a long time ago...

for about

an hour.

- DoJack and Michael know?

- Jack knows.

No one else?

My ex-wife has

a dim recollection.

Obviously it was a

wonderful experience for you.

One that can never

be equaled,

not without bloodshed,

anyway.

- Look.

- Darling! Oh.

- Peter, I didn't know you were here.

- Hello, darling.

I was...

just leaving,

Edward.

Think about it.

I will.

We can't force Sylvia to marry

somebody we choose for her.

All we're saying is that
