It's not like I feel like

I'm missing out or whatever.

Will:
Shotgun in your mouth,

if you live till you're 90,

Hale is the last person

you'll ever f***?

Yeah.

Gun in my mouth,

I say absolutely.

Ow.

Ooh.

- Yep. Yeah.

- Ooh.

There's

a little more to go.

[Both grunting]

There you go.

Good job.

[Piano music plays]

[TV news chatter]

You think it's, like,

fate, what we have?

Hmm?

What?

Nothing.

[Sighs]

Will:

How's the sushi?

Am I holding you back?

What?

Do I...

[Sighs]

Are you satis...

satisfied w-with... with me?

I'm sorry. [Chuckles]

I don't understand.

[Sighs]

Look, you have one life,

and I would never, never,

never want to stop you

from doing something

if, when.

Theoretically,

it would be okay, I think.

It would be...

I think I would be okay.

Can you say what you mean?

[Mid-tempo music plays

on stereo]

I think that you should

sleep with other women.

I mean, just if we're...

if we're

gonna be together

forever...

You think I want to?

[Clears throat]

Look.

I know how much you love me

and always will,

so why shouldn't you,

right?

I mean, if I love you

as much as I do,

then I shouldn't

be threatened by that.

- I couldn't be. I mean, I know it's just...

- Do you want to?

I don't know.

[Glass shatters]

[Somber music plays]

- Monogamy is stupid, okay?

- Uh-huh.

That is... That is the part

of what you said

- that makes sense, okay?

- Right.

Not that I... I mean, no,

but you...

- [Siren wails]

- You're... You're right.

- It's... It's bad design.

- Sure.

At least,

it defies all logic.

It's just... It's just crazy

that w-we've never

- talked about this, that's all, you know?

- Right.

I mean, we just did

what we were supposed to.

- Yeah, 'cause we were so youn.

- Right. How did we know?

I don't want you to want me

because you have to, you know?

I want you to want me

because you want to,

not because

I-I own your body.

Well, you can own

a little bit of it.

You think I want

to own a little bit of it?

[Melancholy piano music

plays]

[Dog howls]

[Espresso machine hissing]

[Pleasant music plays

on stereo]

Okay, so, look.

Last night, that was weird.

Yeah.

Are we gonna try it?

Okay, if we were gonna

do it, what we...

what would

we even call it?

An open relationship?

No.

The relationship's not open.

- No. No.

- The relationship's just you and me.

Right.

That's what I meant.

You can just f***

other people.

Ah.

As could you,

obviously.

I don't think

it's gonna work.

Well, why not?

Uh, human nature,

thousands of cautionary tales

preceding you.

That's not us.

How come this

has never come up before?

Been with each other

for, like, a billion years
