Blue Jay Page #4

the paneling is

maybe take out

that wall,

so that it opens

into the kitchen.

I don't know there's also

something kind of...

cozy about the way it is.

Thinking about it.

Anyway, make yourself at home.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Will see you

in a sec.

[door shuts]

[piano music playing]

[chuckles]

Oh, my god.

This is a very serious

collection of romance novels.

This could not

have been here...

when we were

spending all that time

I think there were some

I think she really

started collecting

-when I left

and I wasn't here to...

-Yeah...

-We would have

a field day with it.

-Yeah.

Well, I mean

let's face it,

in your hay-day

you were pretty...

In my hay-day?

you were pretty romantic.

I'm remembering...

when you read Wuthering Heights

and you made me read it

and you sent me that...

I think it was four

legal page...

-Jim, that's extreme...

-letters about...

You called me Heathcliff

and you called

your self Catherine.

-I am you

and you are me.

-Please stop it!

Yes so, by the way

Completely humiliating.

don't pretend you're

all above this.

There's a very

big difference.

I would like to point out

between this

lovely array of books and

the great work of art

and literature that

is Wuthering Heights.

I mean they cannot

be compared.

Here's something for you.

"Right away.

she knew that her heart

and soul belonged

to Justin."

What Justin?

There's no sexier

name than Justin.

"Oh, Justin!

Do it to me Justin."

-Oh, come on.

-Sorry.

No, there's more.

"But it wasn't until tonight

that she realized

Justin also owned

her body."

I'm sorry there's no

comparison between this

and Wuthering Heights.

-It really, first of all...

-It's really

sacrilegious thing...

I don't want to think

about my mother reading it.

You know what?

Neither do I, I have to say.

I've been staring

at these books

I'm trying to figure out

how to get rid of them

Why?

Well, I don't know,

it's weird like

I had this weird...

I had a very strange mortality

moment when I looked

at them and I was like this

eight hundred books here,

and even if I...

for some reason wanted

to read all of these books

I wouldn't be able

to finish all of these

books before I died.

That's a weird thing,

you know the math of that.

Pretty morbid thought.

No just...

not to be morbid

but just a thing.

Well...

you know it's all

relative, I think.

I mean, my husband

you know...

maybe he would make

it through this, section.

If you were lucky.

-I don't know.

-Yeah.

Can I... do you mind

if I go out side? I have

to make a phone call.

Yeah, yeah of course.

You know the way.

Yes I do.

[door slams]
