Sleeping with the Enemy

Morning, Laura.

I like a man who dresses for clamming.

Business.

And on our vacation.

Do you forgive me?

How about these? Aren't they beautiful?

I thought I could steam them for starters.

I told the Blanchards

we'd do their stupid party.

All your hard work. I'll call them and cancel.

No.

I can just dig fresh ones tomorrow.

I missed you this morning.

Look what I've done.

No problem.

I've time to change.

That's a pretty dress.

I wouldn't have thought of it.

You were thinking the red?

- The black, actually.

- Well, it's backless. It could be chilly tonight.

- Hi, Martin. Great to see you.

- Thanks.

Good to see ya.

Hi.

Excuse me.

Have I been social long enough?

For the whole season.

- Are you hungry?

- Yeah.

Come with me.

Isn't it a little early for this?

Everything in here as it should be?

I don't know why I forgot.

Well, we all forget things.

That's what reminding is for.

Thank you.

What's for supper?

Lamb with rosemary and the peach chutney,

- new potatoes and baby peas.

- Sounds great.

I was gonna make that herb bread

that you like.

I can hardly wait.

- You renting from the Driscolls?

- Hi.

Yeah.

John Fleishman.

I guess we must be neighbors.

Martin Burney. We live up there.

So that must be your wife that I keep

seeing staring down from the window.

- Laura.

- You're a lucky man.

I've been admiring your house.

It's one of the best on Cape Cod.

Thanks. You're from Boston?

Yeah, I've escaped from Mass General.

I'm a neurologist there.

We live there too.

I'm an investment counselor.

This is a terrific boat. Boats are a passion

of mine. One I don't get to indulge very often.

That's too bad. I would never

let anything keep me off the water.

My wife doesn't like sailing. She can't swim.

Nearly drowned when she was a child.

I usually try to get her on a boat

once a season. It's difficult, but I try.

Well, listen, I'm gonna be takin'

a run up the coast this evening.

It's full moon,

weather's supposed to be great.

- Maybe this'd be a good time.

- Maybe.

Let me talk to her. I'll raise it gently.

- OK.

- Thanks.

Nice-looking man, the doctor.

- Doctor?

- He says I have a beautiful house.

Best on the beach.

When was he in here?

Yesterday while I was in town?

- Martin, I don't know the doctor.

- Sure you do.

Young, good-looking.

Outfitting his sailboat down there.

He says you've been staring at him

from the window all day.

Does it give you that much pleasure

to humiliate me?

Stop it!

- Now you'll sulk, won't you?

- No.

- Yes, you will.

- I won't.

You'll pout and spoil our supper.

Our beautiful supper.

Just smell the bread.

I'm so sorry. Will you smile?

Your doctor friend,

he asked us to go sailing tonight.

Just a run along the coast.

Less than an hour each way.

I'll be right there, princess.

Right by your side.

I know how you feel, but we can't

conquer our fears by running away.

Do it? For me?

I think I'll run into town. Anything you need?

I'll be back.

Bonjour, madame.

You all alone in here?

They're beautiful.

I'm sorry we quarreled.

- If you don't like it I can...

- No, I do. I do.

Is it too early in the day for this?

You want something. I know my princess.

I'm waiting.

Mrs Clark called from the library.

- She said they could use me full time now.

- You already work three mornings a week,

and I support that

because I know your love of books.

What about our home?

Don't you love our home as much?

Has your dinner

been late to the table even once?

Oh, I can remember

not so far back it was late.

By two days.

That was six months ago.
