Another Woman Page #4

He's a snob.

He's a wonderful man.

And he's... he's a terrific doctor.

He's cultured and he's honourable.

I love to be with him. I... I...

- I love reading books with him, and...

- It's all up here. All up here.

And he's sexy.

Adultery in the Holiday Inn?

Did they take a credit card?

He would never try to undermine you.

Even if he loved a woman passionately?

Maybe we should join the others.

Maybe I was wrong about you.

- Maybe you're two of a kind.

- Maybe you had too much champagne.

Maybe this conversation is scaring you.

I have to go.

Why don't you do that?

(woman) I often wonder about real love.

Or should I say, I... I keep myself

from thinking about it.

- I don't mean the kind I've experienced.

- (door buzzer)

It's deeper, much more intense.

And then I become frightened.

Because I feel too much...

- Hi. How are ya?

- Fine.

This is great, this is really nice.

I like it a lot. So are you ready?

- Sure.

- I'm sorry, am I too early?

- No.

- So I'm here on time? OK, great.

- You know your dad's not coming?

- Yes. I spoke with him. Are you all right?

- Me?

- You just...

- No, sure, I'm fine.

- OK.

All right, well, we should get going

then, so we can beat the traffic.

I've gathered a number of your

mother's possessions and mementos.

Pictures, letters.

You may as well have them.

I just can't seem to bring

myself to throw them away.

- Was it unbearable, the past few months?

- I've managed to keep myself busy.

- I wish you'd consider moving to the city.

- I'm fine right here.

Clara comes in. She cleans and

cooks for me the way she always has,

so that's no different.

Twice a year the board

of the Smithsonian meets.

That gets me down to Washington,

and takes up some of my time.

I'm all right. I'm fine right here.

But you want nothing around

to even remind you of Mother?

Well, there are times when even a

historian shouldn't look at the past.

You think at your age you can meet

someone and fall in love again?

One hopes at my age

to build up an immunity.

Are you aware that Paul and

Lynn are getting a divorce?

Nothing Paul does would surprise me,

and I'd much rather not hear about him.

- He's had bad luck.

- He's had the same chances you've had.

It's just that he doesn't have it

inside him to stick with anything.

- I hope you're not still giving him money.

- No, just, you know, now and then.

I've salvaged him from

more financial messes,

and I've spent more money

doing it, than I care to tell you.

Someday he'll defraud somebody in

one of his so-called business ventures.

And he'll go to jail.

(d "Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 2")

I noticed you sort of gave me

a disapproving look at dinner.
