Breaking Up Page #6

I shouldn't be saying all this.

It's not fair.

Because I like him. I do.

I see what he's doing. He's fighting.

He's fighting hard.

Growing old, he's fighting it.

When we're together,

just the two of us...

I don't know, he holds on.

He likes life.

He wants it. He fights for it.

He's selfish. Dishonest.

I think he lies to me.

He's not very bright.

He's sort of funny-looking.

But he loves life.

It's amazing in this day and age.

It's contagious to be with somebody

like that, who loves living so much.

Isn't it amazing?

It's amazing!

It's amazing! He loves life.

Isn't it?

Isn't it?

Steve?

More!

Steve?

Steve?

I want to get married.

- What?

- I want to get married.

- Well...

- Yeah, I do.

Okay.

- I do.

- Well, if you do, you do.

I do.

- When?

- Right away.

Yeah, before I change my mind,

you know? I think it's the right thing.

I thought about it,

and that's what I think.

What do you think?

- What does she think?

- Who?

I don't know. I haven't told her.

- I'm telling you.

- Thanks.

You.

I mean you.

- You want to get married to me?

- Yes.

- You want us to get married?

- Yes.

- You and me?

- Yeah.

It's not gonna work with her.

I can see that.

I mean, it's working. It's working,

but it's not gonna work, you know?

- Jesus.

- Maybe I should start this again.

- You want to get married to me?

- Yes.

No, look.

I'm working at it. Okay?

I'm trying. Honest to God.

I'm doing okay,

better than I've ever done.

Better than with you. I'm patient,

I'm not pushy, not crazy.

I see things the way they are.

She is what she is.

She's not who I think she is,

not who I want her to be.

We don't fight. We don't argue.

We tell the truth. I think we tell

the truth. It sounds like the truth.

We share. We share all of it.

It's very understanding,

very easy like that.

So f***ing dull.

I need some air.

It's not like I'm complaining.

If that's what it has to be,

I understand.

We could never make anything

work anyway, so why not try dull?

Maybe dull will last.

But as dull as it is,

it's the same thing.

A couple words, looks,

wrong moves and bang...

...it's over. Then you break up...

...find somebody else

and start all over.

I can't do that.

I did it with you. I...

I can't do it with somebody else.

All that time to get someplace

with her that I'm already at with you?

That hit me. It hit me.

We can't quit. We have something.

We can't just throw it away.

Okay, I admit,

it's a failure, but it's ours.

It's not the end. That's too easy.

It's the place to start from.

It's two and a half years

of our lives. It's an investment.

All that pain to get to zero?

Okay, well, now we're here.

You know, we've got nothing.
