An Unmarried Woman Page #3

Really.

I- I don't think so.

Is it me? Are you tired of me?

I love you.

Aww.

I'd hate to join the crowd.

Why? What do you mean?

Oh, Elaine's boozing a lot.

Jeannette's crazy.

Sue's okay. She's a strong woman.

- God.

- Well, so are you.

I'm beginning to wonder about me.

Oh, it's so nice

to have a man to come home to.

- Is that just luck?

- Yeah.

It's luck and a fabulous body.

Jesus. Here, three kids in the sixth grade

beat their teacher up.

Where?

The Bronx.

- You never have any trouble

in school, do you?

- No.

It's a jungle.

It is! They got guys carrying guns.

Oh, you read too much.

- I what?

- It doesn't really happen that way.

Well, it doesn't happen where

you go to school, because we

got you in a pretty good school.

- It's costing me a lot of money.

- Oh, I'll go to public school.

- Okay. You're on.

- Okay.

- You think that's funny?

- We'll buy you a gun,

send you to public school.

- I'm sorry.

I'm getting tickets to the ballet

a week from Friday. Do you want to go?

- I don't know. Let me ask Phil.

- Phil can come with us.

Only if he pays.

- I don't think Phil likes ballet.

- I don't either. I'm goin'.

Good for your soul.

No. I think I'll pass, Mom.

- Listen, am I a nagging father?

- No.

You're just feeling

the loss of separation.

I'm not your little girl anymore.

Wash your mouth with soap!

- Hey, no physical contact, please!

- Got to go.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Do you think Daddy's

worried about getting old?

- Are you taking a psych course this year?

- Mm-hmm.

He's always joking. Never seems

to take anything seriously, you know.

You mean, he doesn't take Phil seriously,

and that bothers you.

No, it doesn't.

I don't take Phil that seriously either.

Oh, I think

you're serious about Phil.

Mom, I'm still a virgin,

if that's what you meant.

It's not what I meant.

But I'm glad you told me.

- I just meant that you like Phil.

- I like Phil.

I'm not gonna marry him.

I'm never getting married.

- You will.

- Don't be so sure.

- Why not?

- Why should I?

Everybody I know who's married

is either miserable or divorced.

- I don't want that.

- Oh, Patti. That's ridiculous!

- There's a lot of happily married couples.

- Name three.

- Uhh.

- Uh.

- I'll have to think about it.

- Yeah.

See you later.

383 West Broadway, please.

Now, if all this stuff

wasn't done by a woman...

I don't think you could sit

in the same room with it.

It isn't "stuff," Charlie.

It happens to be art.

You're a classic

male chauvinist pig.

I know, but I'm cute.

- You're out of style, Charlie.

- Want a bite?

Uh-uh.

You're a beautiful woman, Erica.

- But you're leading such a sheltered life.
