Lovers and Other Strangers Page #6

- Susan's roommate...

the one she's been living with

for a year and a half.

Let's walk a little.

- If you don't believe me, ask-

- I believe you. No gap.

When Susan walks down that aisle

in her white bridal gown...

Virgin Susan meets Father Gregory,

that's hypocrisy.

We're, like, married already.

I don't want to go through with this sham.

Do you understand?

I understand, Mike. Sit down.

There's no gap here, Mike, believe me.

Maybe it was all right in your time,

but it's not right for Susan and me.

- We don't live lies anymore.

- We have two girls.

You're two brothers, aren't you?

Maybe if you had a sister...

you'd understand about mothers

and daughters and weddings.

Weddings aren't planned

a few months ahead.

Weddings are planned

from the time the girl is about six.

Susan went to her first masquerade party

at eight...

dressed as a bride.

Please.

What would you rather do, Mike?

Run away to Canada?

I sure would.

It's up to you, Mike.

All you have to do is weigh your own hurt

against the hurt of all the others...

and then do what's best.

But whatever you decide, I'll understand.

No gap.

- Did you tell him?

- I told him.

Where do we stand?

In front of Father Gregory.

- Don't do it for me.

- I'm not doing it for you.

I'm doing it for a little

eight-year-old girl...

who went to her first masquerade

dressed as a bride.

- He told you that?

- You never did.

Is there anything else I should know?

Just that I love you, you son of a b*tch.

- Mother, the barbecue's going beautifully.

- Kathy, if we place-

I have nothing more to say

about the Trepannis and the Hendersons.

Don't ask my opinion, Bernice.

Don't ask my opinion

about the seating plan...

or anything else connected

with your daughter's wedding.

Do something. You're so good with her.

Don't worry, Mother. I'll handle it.

- Are you in there?

- No, go away.

Let me in. I want to talk to you.

There's nothing to say.

Nothing. It's all nothing.

- Goodbye, Hal.

- Goodbye, Kathy.

I love you so much. You're my whole life.

I can't live without you.

I couldn't live without you. I love you.

You didn't mean what you just said.

There's nothing to say.

Nothing. It's all nothing.

I don't want it anymore.

I promise you,

as soon as Susan gets married...

I'll ask Bernice for a divorce.

You promised that last year

and the year before.

- This time will be different.

- "As soon as Wilma has another baby. "

- Please, Kathy.

- "As soon as Susan gets married. "

She's getting married, Hal,

and where's mine?

This could be dangerous.

Bernice might hear us.

I don't care anymore.

I never want to see you again.

If you let 10 years of love end
