County's next District Attorney,

Mr. Mark Arveson.

(ALL CHEERING)

ARVESON. :
Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I want to thank...

Well, what did you think of Arveson?

You mean, what did I think of his chances?

Oh, the speech. Him. All of it. Thanks.

I've been seeing someone.

I met her three,

three and a half months ago.

- I don't do this very well.

- Try.

- Do I know her?

- No.

I wasn't looking. I didn't go looking.

How old is she?

Twenty-two.

- What's her name?

- Cini.

- Cute.

- Cynthia.

- Why are you telling me?

- It's been bothering me.

- Feel better?

- I'm not going to see her anymore.

I don't even know where she is.

She's young, 22.

Yes, she is young.

Maybe I've known for about a month.

I've known.

God, I wish you hadn't told me.

Why aren't you going to see her anymore?

- Look, this just isn't what you think it is.

- Was the sex that good?

- Lots of kinky things. Is that it?

- It's not that simple.

No? Our marriage has lasted for 23 years.

That's longer than she's been alive.

- Is it the first time?

- Yes.

- She was just a kid.

- What does that mean?

- Did you play daddy? Is that it?

- Maybe. In part.

It was different.

Maybe I just got tired of the part

of our relationship that...

- The married part.

- Not like that.

It's not that simple, Barbara.

You know that.

Do you have any idea how this hurts?

It's so easy to have someone

to look to you for answers for everything.

So easy to just coast along,

even when you...

You have no idea. No idea.

Let's go. Right here.

Here we go. Hey, come on.

I'm losing you. Where are you going?

(ALAN LAUGHING)

Here we go. Hey, where are you going?

Come on back.

Enough is enough. We're leaving.

Baby, I'm going to find Cini now.

Okay? Give me a kiss.

You want to see my tinkies?

You want to see my tits?

- Oh, come on. Come on.

- Say, "Please."

Please.

(EX CLAIMS)

- Hi, Mom.

- Leo, now, get out of there. Come on.

Hey, what it is?

We hit the f***ing jackpot this time,

That f***ing Alan's got

some weird friends, huh?

Yeah. Yeah. We'll call you.

We'll call you. Thank you.

like the Academy Awards for f*** films.

Yeah.

Green around the gills, but his world

done come apart on him, huh?
