While you're representing me.

Are you there?

Can you hear me?

Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

I'm on the case.

I'll let you know.

Have you finished, sir?

Yes. Thank you.

Say it again.

- What?

- What you just said.

You heard me.

I would like

to hear it again.

Elisabeth, it's over.

No, that is not

what you said.

- Stop it.

- "Stop it?"

You say, "I'm not coming back,"

Or some bullshit like that,

And I'm the one that suppose

to stop?

Please repeat

what you just said.

I'm not asking for the moon

Here, unless you're not even

Sure yourself.

But I am sure, absolutely.

Then say it again, damn it!

- Say it.

- Stop barking orders.

It's unbearable.

You're leaving with her.

Is that it?

Who?

Your girl.

I don't know what her name is.

Your whore.

What are you talking about?

I fooled around with her twice.

That was three years ago.

Is there someone else?

No.

There's no one.

What do you mean, "no one?"

You're leaving by yourself?

Yes.

When I first met you,

You couldn't even eat

a meal by yourself.

Yeah, well,

that was 18 years ago.

I guess I've changed.

It can happen, you know.

Sometimes people change.

Is... is this because of the fight

we had before you left?

Elisabeth, we are way

beyond that.

Pretty much all we do

anymore is fight.

I don't know what would be left

between us

If it weren't

for the fights.

That's a horrible thing to say.

Don't look at me like that.

It can't all be gone...

just like that.

It's awful.

I feel like...

It's like...

Why didn't you come to me

about this sooner?

Why can't we ever just

talk a little m...

A little more what?

We haven't talked for years now.

For years now, every time I say

Anything about myself or my work

Or our relationship,

you take it the wrong way.

And every time

you say something,

I feel like

you're attacking me.

If we could talk

to each other...

Don't tell me that.

Don't tell me this isn't

directed against me.

You know damn well it is.

No.

I'm doing this for me.

Can you understand that?

For just once in your life,

just once,

Can you understand

I'm doing something for myself?

Oh, okay.

You're doing this...

You're doing this for you.

You wake up one day,

And you decide to do

something for yourself.

Well, that's great.

That's wonderful.

Only... Oops... The thing that

You're doing happens to be

Destroying my life.

What...

You don't see there's

a cause-And-Effect thing going

On here?

What, that's too much

for me to ask,

For you to acknowledge that

Your actions have consequences?

We should stop this, Elisabeth.

It's pointless.

Sure.

It's pointless.

Whenever it's about

your responsibilities,

It's pointless.
