Couples Retreat Page #3

Synopsis: Dave and Ronnie, Jason and Cynthia, and Joey and Lucy are close. The group used to include Shane and Jennifer, but they divorced and she's gone. Jason and Cynthia announce that their marriage is in trouble, and they beg their friends (and Shane's young girlfriend) to join them on a couples' retreat, at the package rate, on a tropical island. The others reluctantly agree, planning to play while Jason and Cynthia work on their marriage with an island psychologist. To everyone's surprise, the package is inflexible: each couple must participate in the couples' exercises. Soon fault lines appear in all four relationships. What's in store for each couple?

Love me less.

I don't want any bikini

pictures on the Internet!

When you're living in my

house, you're a Taliban!

Okay? You keep your body a secret.

Except you get to, you know,

go to school and read books.

Did you send the tuition check?

You said you were going to.

Please. Don't start this again.

Yeah, I didn't start with

it. You just brought it up.

You're supposed to send the check.

You said you were gonna do it.

You never do anything

you say you're gonna do.

Eighteen years. Just try to hold it

together for another couple months.

Trust me, I'm counting the days.

Do that hurt, Daddy,

or do that feel good?

It's both. It hurt and it feel good.

Bang, bang.

Did you put in the wide beauty shots?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Why would you ask me that?

You know I triple-check everything.

Yeah, no, I know. It's just,

you know, super-important, okay?

We only get one shot at it.

It'd just be nice if you could

show me a little bit of trust.

I do. Come on, I do, I do. I just

want this to be perfect, that's all.

It's not about trust. Come on.

I want it to be perfect, too.

Good.

How old is she?

I think she's 20. He

met her at the mall.

She was working at Foot Locker.

He was so in love with Jennifer.

I am shocked he met someone so quickly.

I know. I was hoping they

were just taking a break.

I haven't even heard from

her since they split up.

I think he got us in the

divorce. You want more wine?

Cynthia, it's time. We're

all set up in the bedroom.

Great. Ladies?

You're kidding, right? No, it's easy.

We brought our own screen.

You can't do it right now.

We're in the middle of

my son's birthday party.

It won't take long and I know

you"re gonna be really excited.

Bring your booze.

Okay, then.

We're taking the wine.

Watch this, guys. Watch.

This is a really spooky ball.

Just, could you please put

the ball cancer video on?

I'm trying, Joey.

Please. I don't want to

watch that ball cancer video.

Where's Trudy?

Oh, she's watching the magician.

Well, there it is. Okay.

This is not a video and it

is not about ball cancer.

Thank God. That,s a first.

Jason and I are seriously

considering getting a divorce.

Okay? So, it's no secret

that Cynthia and I have had our problems

trying to conceive

over the last 12 months.

That's no reason to get a divorce.

No.

We know. Of course not.

But suffice it to say, it's been

more than taxing on both of us,

and it's forced us to question

our entire relationship.

You two are perfect for each other.

We're just not so sure

about that anymore.

We're not in a good place.

Now, this is not a decision

that we're taking lightly.

Cynthia and I have been

together for eight long years.
