A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy Page #5

- Just once. Years ago.

- What an odd coincidence.

Shall I show you to your room,

or do you know the way?

(laughs) "Do you know the way?"

Did you hear that?

Come, wife.

"Sumer is icumen in,

Lhude sing cuccu!"

"Groweth sed, and bloweth med,

And springth the wude nu."

"Sing cuccu!"

So, you've been here before.

You've met Andrew?

Yes. A long time ago,

before I left for Paris.

We spent a little time together.

Very little.

I've been to Paris twice,

but I was miserable both times.

Probably because I was there

with the wrong person.

That's important,

because it's such a romantic place.

If two people are really in love,

a city like Paris becomes a great medium

through which to explore their feelings.

- Don't you think, Leopold?

- I like large cities.

Oh, and in the rain...

Tell me about your book, Professor.

What's the plot?

- What do you do, Miss, uh...?

- Dulcy.

Miss Dulcy.

I'm a nurse, but I get to do a lot of reading.

The patients all have books.

A lot of them are too weak to read,

or they die and I get to keep the copies.

Look, why don't we change our clothes

and play badminton?

- (Adrian) How could you lie to me?

- (Andrew) I didn't lie, Adrian.

I was not lying.

- Do you wanna know why I lied?

- You told me you didn't know her.

- Yes, that part I admit.

- What do you mean, "admit"?

- I caught you! You were exposed!

- May I make my point, please?

- Why didn't you want me to know?

- The way things are in our marriage,

I thought you'd be full

of fear and suspicion.

- I thought you'd be uneasy all weekend.

- Because you're guilty.

Guilty? That's a laugh. How am I guilty?

How can I be guilty if I didn't do anything?

Why should I be uneasy

unless you were lovers?

Lovers? I never laid

a finger on the woman.

Didn't you even think

she was gonna give you away?

I thought it was so insignificant she

wouldn't remember. It was so long ago.

You think that I would care?

I know I wasn't the first one.

It's just that you lied to me

that makes me wonder.

You dropped that glass

at the mention of her name.

Our marriage is not going well,

so I thought the less said, the better.

- You went out with her?

- No, never!

- Yeah, once.

- Once, and you took her here?

So twice, three times. You gonna quibble?

I drove her up here.

It was a simple thing.

I showed her the premises and I drove her

back to New York City. It was very easy...

- I swear by my mother.

- You didn't make love to her?

No! I would remember that.

And what if I did?

Which I didn't. I never did.

I've got a really terrible headache.

I'm gonna go get more tablets.

Listen, so how do you feel about her now,

when you see her after all these years?
