I Think I Love My Wife Page #3

It's different.

Pretty.

RICHARD:
There were days

when Brenda and I got along great.

But we still weren't having sex.

When a married couple

stops having sex,

at first, they complain about it.

But after a while,

they get used to it.

She walks out of the shower,

you don't even look.

'Cause you know there's

nothing there for you.

The most dangerous time

in a marriage

is when the couple accepts

that they're not having sex.

Speak up; I'm in an elevator.

TRACY:

Richard, there's someone here to see you.

Uh, a client?

She didn't say.

Nikki?

RICHARD:
Wow, Nikki Tru.

I haven't seen her in eight years.

She was my best friend's girl.

I was crazy about her.

What's wrong?

You didn't think you'd see me again?

No, it's not that;

I'm just surprised.

Wow, you look good, Nikki.

Thanks.

You know, people don't really

smoke in offices anymore.

I'm not really a smoker.

I'm just trying to lose some weight.

So what's that, a diet cigarette?

( chuckles)

I'll put it out.

You look good, Richie.

That's a nice shirt.

Thanks.

So, wh-what brings

you around, Nikki?

I was in the neighborhood,

heard you worked in the area,

thought I'd stop by and say hi.

That's allowed, right?

Yeah. Hi.

Hi.

You want to show me

your office or something?

Come on.

Okay.

It's good to see you.

Yeah, you, too.

- Which way?

- This way.

NI KKI ( chuckles):

Are these your kids?

Yeah, that's

my son Brian

and that's my daughter Kelly.

Same mother?

Same mother, my wife, seven years.

No side kids?

No side kids.

I know, it's very white of me.

( chuckles)

Richard Marcus Cooper is married.

Tied the knot, till

death do you part.

Mm-hmm.

Something strange about that?

No. Just...

not the Richie I knew.

- People change.

- Hmm.

You happily married?

Yeah, I'm-I'm happily married.

No, you're not.

You didn't say it right.

Okay, how was I supposed to say it?

Oh, I don't know.

But you're not supposed

to think about it.

I hear ice cracking.

What?

You ever walk across

a frozen river

and hear ice cracking?

It's the scariest sound

in the world.

Hey, hey.

My ice is fine.

My-my marriage is frozen solid.

You could do a triple axel

on my marriage.

(phone ringing)

One second.

Hello.

TRACY:

They're ready to start the meeting.

Yeah, yeah, I'll come right now.

So, to be

completely honest,

I do need a favor.

Ah. I knew Nikki didn't

come over here for nothing.

Well, I just got back in town,

and I'm trying to get a job,

but I need a reference.
