Fatal Attraction Page #4

---

It smells so good.

- Anything else for me to do?

- Just make yourself at home.

- Change the tape if you want.

- No, this is great.

I love Madame Butterfly.

- Really? It's my favourite opera.

- Mine, too.

First opera I ever saw.

My father took me to the old Met.

I was five years old.

- Did it make any sense?

- I got most of it.

There was this US sailor setting up

house with this Japanese lady.

That was all fine.

But in the final act,

after he left her,

my father told me,

"She's gonna kill herself."

And I was terrified.

I was...

I climbed right underneath the chair.

It's right here.

This is it.

It's funny.

- What?

- It's one of the only times

I remember my father being nice

to me when I was a kid.

Comforting me at Madame Butterfly.

What?

What are you thinking?

I was wondering why all

the interesting guys are married.

Maybe you find them interesting

because you can't have them.

How long have you been married?

Nine years.

- Do you have any kids?

- I got a six-year-old girl.

Sounds good.

- Yeah, I'm lucky.

- So what are you doing here?

Boy, you know how to ask them.

No, I really want to know.

I had a wonderful time last night.

I'd like to see you again.

Is that so terrible?

No.

I just don't think it's possible.

It's really strange.

I feel like I know you already.

I just wanna know where I stand.

I think you're terrific.

But I'm married.

What can I say?

Just my luck.

Sh*t!

- What are you doing?

- I gotta go.

I thought she wasn't coming back

till tomorrow.

She's not, but I got things to do.

I gotta go home.

- I don't think I like this.

- Like what?

The way you run away

after every time we make love.

What difference does it make

when I leave? I gotta go.

- You're not gonna leave now.

- Come on. Stop it.

Come on! Alex!

What's the problem?

I'm sorry.

Jesus Christ, let's be reasonable.

Be reasonable? What?

Goodbye.

Don't call me, I'll call you.

You knew about me.

I didn't hide anything.

- I thought it was understood.

- What?

The opportunity was there,

and we took it.

- We're adults, aren't we?

- What's that supposed to mean?

I thought we'd have a good time.

You thought you'd have a good time.

You didn't stop to think about me.

That's crazy. You knew the rules.

- What rules?

- Look, Alex. I like you.

If I wasn't with somebody else,

maybe I'd be with you. But I am.

Please don't justify yourself.

It's pathetic.

If you'd tell me to f*** off,

I'd have more respect for you.

All right then, f*** off.

And you, get out!

I'm going.

Why don't you come over here

and say goodbye nicely?

Let's be friends.

Baby, no.

It's OK.

It's OK.

- Sorry if I upset you.

- It's OK, really.
