Love, Wedding, Marriage Page #2
Don't tell her.
It'll break her heart.
- I want a divorce.
- What?
- Both of you...
everyone, take a seat.
Ooh, everybody calm down
and take a breath.
Okay.
Betty, what triggered
this decision?
- Your sack-of-sh*t father
cheated on me.
- We were separated.
We were separated at the time.
- Yeah, but he still managed
to knock me up.
Did we conceive Shelby
before or after your affair?
- Oh, my God.
Dad, explain.
- You were about three years old
when we were relocated to London
for my job,
and I was working overtime.
It was hardly a recipe
for a happy marriage,
so we decided to separate...
- Which for your father
meant doing it
with the first woman
he could find...
25 years to tell me.
- Okay, I hear you.
I understand.
You feel betrayed,
and I'm not minimizing
but is it really worth
throwing away
a long and happy marriage?
- What makes you think
that I've been happy?
- Well, of course we're happy.
- Well, of course you're happy.
I've spent the best part
of my life
catering to your adulterous ass.
Now it's my turn.
I want to feel sexy.
I want to...
I want to have adventures.
- Okay.
Okay, Betty.
We're making some progress.
I want you both
to close your eyes,
take a deep breath,
and let's try and reconnect
with some of those feelings
you had
when you first decided
to get married.
- Ava, this Berkeley bullshit
isn't gonna work on me.
- Mom!
- Look, I'm sorry, darling,
but I'm not gonna take
marital advice
from my 28-year-old
newlywed daughter.
- I'm a professional.
- And you're
a hopeless romantic.
You've been watching
Gone With The Wind
every Thanksgiving
for the last 25 years.
- It's a very long weekend.
- And I would give it up, honey.
Rhett Butler's
- But they were
at cross-purposes.
- You know, the point is that
I am the voice of experience.
I have done 30 years
of hard marriage,
30 years of lies
and deceit,
and in all that time,
you've never once
put the toilet roll
back on the dispenser.
- And after 30 years, you'd
think she'd give it up, huh?
- Bradley, you can have
that bathroom all to yourself,
because I am moving in
with Shelby.
- Ava, you can't let Mom
move in with me.
- Okay, Mom, let's pause
and assess the situation.
We don't have to make
any permanent decisions today.
- Good-bye, Bradley.
Have a nice life.
- I refuse to live with Mom,
Ava.
- Okay, we have much bigger
problems here, Shelby.
- Yeah, like a 30th anniversary
party for a divorced couple.
[Gentle instrumental music]
[door clicks open]
- Hey, babe.
It's 6:
00.Time for our date.
I promise I'll hook up the dryer
