Return of the Secaucus Seven Page #6

-Coming.

-He can handle it.

-I don't know. I think it's freaking him out.

J.T.?

Maybe if we just take the guitar off.

How long was it like that?

It was like that for three

or four months, at least.

-God.

-We didn't talk. We didn't fight.

We didn't make love.

Jesus. Four months?

There'd been periods before that, but this

time all that kept us going was inertia.

You know how sometimes

inertia means staying still...

-...and sometimes staying in motion?

-Right, in physics.

We had this relationship,

and it had its own inertia.

And even when neither of us was getting

anything good out of it anymore...

...it was impossible to stop it.

-I had no idea.

-Nobody had any idea.

-He told me he was gonna be 29.

-He must be freaked out.

-Maybe if we took the guitar off.

-He'd guess.

When was the last time we bought

a cake just for the hell of it?

-He wanted you to stay.

-He said he did.

But I could tell he was relieved that one of us

finally had the strength to break the inertia.

I had no idea. Jeff never said anything.

We've been under the same roof but

we haven't been living together.

I've been living alone, you know?

It's a big deal turning 30. You

Maybe we could take the guitar off.

-Or put on only 29 candles?

-That would really freak him out.

I was depressed for a

week after I turned 30.

Put it in the freezer. It'll keep.

I can't imagine hanging on like that.

You don't think I'm

terrible for walking out?

Hey, if that's the way you felt about

it. You know, I mean, it's your life.

I was worried you wouldn't wanna see me.

It's so hard not to take sides.

Come on, you know me better than that.

You still wanna be my friend?

Of course I wanna be your friend.

I mean, I'm Jeff's friend too.

Well, you're his best friend.

He really depends on you.

Okay, but that doesn't

mean I stop liking you.

I mean, I always liked

you. You know that.

I guess I just wanted to hear it.

-Book.

-Book.

-Six words.

-Six words.

-Third word.

-Third word.

Little word.

-The!

-The.

-Fifth word.

-Fifth word.

Little word. Sounds like "heart."

-Love. Of.

-Sounds like love. Of.

Blank, blank, the blank of blank.

-First word.

-First word.

-Tits. Breasts. Bosoms.

-B*obs. Knockers.

Me. You. Friends!

-Friends.

-Roommates.

Bosom buddies!

-Women! Women. I'm an idiot.

-Women, all right.

-Sixth word.

-Sixth word.

-Wrist. Look. Time. All right.

-Watch. Time. Time?

-Woman blank the blank of time.

-Woman on the Edge of Time!

Forty-one seconds. And I thought

you wouldn't even know it.

I was with you when I read it, Chip.

Yeah.

-Okay, who's next?

-Chip's up.

-Oh, God.

-Okay, do it.

Now, just remember the
