Mighty Aphrodite Page #5

Amanda-- You know,

last week she took me to,

to Le Cirque with the Dorians.

And then last night it was

with the Grossbards on Park Avenue.

And then after that,

we were driving home...

and I don't know

what to say.

It was Saturday night, you know, and we

stopped for a light over on Park Avenue.

I looked out the window

and I see some guy and this pretty girl.

And, you know,

they're walking home and, you know,

the guy's carrying

the Sunday papers.

It looked like they were

having so much fun, you know.

And, you know--

I don't know, I--

I remember how great it

used to be with me and Amanda...

in our first apartment,

you know, how romantic it was.

You know, in those days it was

just a kick shopping together...

or, you know, just walking

the New York streets, you know.

Then when Max came,

everything was so great, you know.

We had such terrific times.

I don't know, it's been so long

since there's been, you know,

the old passion between us.

I don't know, but it was the first time

I had any of those thoughts.

And, you know,

they made me feel nervous.

You weren't too pleasant

this evening.

Why, 'cause I said no about going

to your boss Jerry Bender's house...

- in the Hamptons?

- I'll be fine.

I don't like the Hamptons. You know,

you used to hate the beach yourself.

Yeah, not the way he lives.

It's private and beautiful.

What are you getting

so angry about?

- 'Cause you won't come.

- Last time we went, I got a tick.

- A tick? Oh, wow. Big deal.

- For you, it wasn't a big deal.

- But I took my pants off, I had

a black thing living in my leg.

- Everyone will be there.

For the potential contacts,

I can put up with a few ticks.

I don't-- What contacts?

You know, it's like you're

an international spy.

- You got contacts all over town.

- I plan to have my own gallery,

and soon.

You've changed unbelievably

over the years.

- Oh, yeah? You know what, Lenny?

- You used to hate that.

- People grow. They grow. Some people.

- It's not growth.

You used to hate the beach.

And Jerry Bender has got a crush on you.

What?

- This guy stares at you.

- Oh, no. That's nuts.

- That's seriously crazy.

- He mentally undresses you.

- That's his normal look.

- It's not his normal look.

- If he looked at me that way

I'd hit him with a brick.

- Okay. Okay, let's--

- Or kiss him on the lips, maybe.

- Let's drop this. Please?

Well, what do you mean,

you couldn't find it?

Well, I'm sorry.

You know, it's dark in here...

and I-- you know,

we haven't done it in a while.

- And then you got so angry at me.

- I wasn't angry.

I wasn't angry. You were fumbling

and I was getting out of the mood.

Sorry, I couldn't find it. This--
