Life During Wartime

Joy?

Yeah?

You okay?

Uh-huh.

You sure?

Ever since we got here,

you seem a little... upset.

Oh, no, no.

Just a little... dj vu.

They have a lot of vegetarian options here,

you know.

Oh, I know.

And, uh, I'm happy.

Really. Promise.

Okay.

Well, I, um -

I bought you a little present.

Joy? Joy, what's wrong?

[ Sniffles ]

I -

- What? Is - Is it your period?

- No.

I'm so sorry, Allen.

It's okay.

[ Sobs ]

I'm okay.

[ Gasping ]

[ Sniffles ]

Here, let me open it now.

It's an original Gainsford reproduction.

Late 1 880s.

Oh. Where -Where did you find this?

eBay.

- Oh, Allen. You did this?

- Look at the side.

Isn't that amazing?

I found it just like that.

- [ Crying ]

- Antique.

What, you don't like it?

[ Sniffling, Crying ]

I'm sorry, Allen.

I didn't mean to.

[ Deep Breath ]

It's nothing.

You sure?

Mm-hmm. Thank you.

You're welcome.

[ Crying ]

Happy-

Happy-

Happy anniversary.

Allen. Allen, I really do like it.

I'm sorry. It's just -

You know how you always said

a person should forgive?

Forgive and forget. Yes.

Well, so I thought that

I should try to be more open.

Uh-huh.

- 'Cause I've been really trying,Joy.

- Mm-hmm.

- No more cocaine.

- Uh-uh.

- No more crack.

- Uh-uh.

- No more crack cocaine.

- Uh-uh.

No more hanging around

doing nothing without a job.

Mm-hmm.

No more sarcastic remarks

or physical attacks aimed at my boss.

Uh-huh.

No more helping old gang members

with burglaries and armed robberies.

Uh-huh.

No more getting into fights with strangers,

waking up in the gutter.

Uh-huh.

Oh,Joy. It's been

like a never-ending struggle.

And I keep fighting it,

but it's just this one thing I can't stop.

- I'm trying awful hard -

- Hello.

- Are you ready to ord -

- [ Allen Sniffles ]

Oh, sorry. Do you need some more time?

No, no. We're ready.

- Yeah.

- Um...

I was wondering if you could

please tell us if you have any specials.

Miss?

Say again?

I - I was wondering if you could please

tell us if there's any specials, I mean.

What did you say?

I - I, uh -

I was wondering if-

I know who you are.

I'm-I'm sorry. Do I know -

- [ Spits ]

- [Joy Gasps ]

- Fuckin' pervert!

- I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

What are you wearin' underneath,

motherfuckin' scum?

Miss, he's changed.

He doesn't do that anymore.

We even threw out the phone book.

Really. He's a different person.

His voice is the same. Motherfucker.

Allen?

You don't still -

[ Voice Quavering ]

Just -Just a little.

On Sundays.

[ Allen Sniffles ]

[ Man, Laughing ]

''What the heck are you doing?''

[ Man, Woman Laughing ]

[ Woman ]

Oh!

[ Laughing Continues ]

You know -

You know what I like about you?

What? What?

You're so... normal.

[ Sputters ]

Me?

It feels so good to be with someone

who isn't... weird.

- Or screwed up.

- [ Laughing ]

Or sicko-pervy.

- [ Sighs ]

- Oh. So, uh -

- Are your kids off at college?

- I wish.

Mine are all out of the house.

Hell, I'm out of the house.

Kicked out, that is.

Oh. Feeling lonely?

Well -

Divorce isn't easy after 3 5 years together.

Hell.

I haven't even been with a woman

outside of Marj.

I'm not sure I would, uh -

would know what to do.

Harvey. It's okay.

It's okay.

What you're feeling is normal.

I can't - I can't talk about my sex life.

- I can't talk about mine either.

- There's so much I don't understand.

Sometimes it's better not to understand.

My son, Mark- he's a great kid.

You know, he's a little troubled -

just feels a little paranoid.

But he's - he's really a very sweet kid.

I know. Good heart.

Anyway, so he moved down here.
