Husbands and Wives Page #6

A dramatic or aesthetic component|becomes right...

...and I go after that person.

There's a certain dramatic ambience|that's almost...

...as if I fall in love|with the situation.

Of course, it has not|worked out well for me.

It has not been great and...

A few weeks after Jack|and Sally split...

You know, he and I didn't speak much.

I found him elusive.|We spent more time with Sally.

She was depressed.|We'd try and cheer her up.

I'd be scared to live alone|where you live.

It's really scary.

There have been burglaries.|My neighbor was robbed.

And nearby, people were at home.

It's lucky for them|they didn't wake up.

I would die. I'd never|close my eyes at night.

- You wanna get something to eat?|- Sure.

Hey.

- This is Sam.|- Hi.

- This is Gabe and Sally.|- This is Judy.

- I have to go. Sorry.|- Don't be silly.

No, I have an appointment.

- Really?|- Don't be crazy.

- I have to go.|- We were gonna eat.

I just wanted you...

God!

- Some coincidence.|- I know.

- What was your name?|- Sam.

Sam. Right.

- So you guys are just walking?|- We just had lunch.

- What do you do, Sam?|- Aerobics.

And I'm a trainer and some nutrition.

You wanna have dinner at the house?

- She's a great cook.|- I am.

I don't think...

- It's vegetarian.|- We can't.

- You don't eat meat, do you?|- I don't. She eats a little.

I used to eat meat, then I gave it up.|Then I had some again...

...and I got so bloated!|- Or there's a Mexican place.

- Oh, yeah! I flip over couscous!|- You feel like cooking?

- Whatever you want.|- Let's do it.

Yeah. We'll watch the Grammys.

I'm not watching that.

- I bet Jill over the best single!|- I'm not watching the Grammys.

- My mother's in town.|- Yeah, she's here for a week.

Okay, maybe later.|I've been meaning to call.

I'd like to pick up some decaf.

Oh, there's a great store.|I need some ginseng.

She is so great. You know,|she's got a degree in psychology.

- She's into fitness.|- You're f***ing nuts.

She is terrific. She's a nice girl.|Her family's from Delaware.

Her father's in police work.

I can't get my mind around it.|You leave Sally for this? I'm shocked.

- Careful. I'm serious about her.|- You're my friend, I love you.

It's like your IQ is in remission.

- It's like you had a stroke.|- Don't give some moralizing discourse.

- You're not my rabbi.|- I just can't believe it.

You're with Sally for years.|You raise a family. She's wonderful.

- So she's a ball-breaker sometimes...|- She is.

I lived with her, you don't know her.

I don't? So tell me something terrible.

There's nothing terrible to tell you.

I don't wanna hurt her.|That's not what this is about.

Suddenly you take up|with a cocktail waitress...
