Starting Over Page #5

No, I'm just kidding. Really, it's not true.

Sounds horrible. I'm sorry I said that.

Anyway, I think I'm...

kind of adjusted to not having them.

Would you like some more of this?

- Did I eat some of that?

- Yeah.

That's pudding. I hate pudding.

I wonder why I ate it.

Maybe you were so interested in me...

that you didn't know

what you were doing.

I knew that without the pudding.

- Good night.

- Would you like to come up?

If we're gonna kiss each other,

I think it'd be a good idea...

if one of us closed our eyes.

You first.

Okay.

God.

Don't be afraid to tell me what you want.

I think I'd like to say good night.

I know. I understand.

It's too much or it's too soon.

Or you don't like me enough.

Or you like me too much.

Or you're frightened, or you're guilty.

You can't get it up or out or in or what?

That just about covers it.

I never did like dating.

You wanna go out Friday night?

Saturday night?

Sunday afternoon?

Sunday night?

When you get to Wednesday, I'm busy.

God.

Why am I so sure

I'm in big trouble here?

I'll see you Friday night.

Good night, Marilyn.

Good night, Potter.

You know...

a couple of weeks ago...

It'll keep.

It's not 9:
00 yet.

I got an Accutron right here.

- It's not 9:
00. You go ahead.

- Don't let them stop you.

A couple of weeks ago, I met this girl.

A really nice girl. I like her a lot.

It's just that, for some reason...

I've been avoiding going to bed with her.

This is why it's good that we talk.

You know, we find out that we're not

as weird as we thought we were.

I felt the same way once.

You're afraid to open up. To care.

You end up questioning your ability

to love someone in a meaningful way.

- F*** off!

- Eat sh*t!

I think it's natural.

You still feel like you're married.

Maybe she's special.

It's possible, you know?

- Hi.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- Fine.

I'm sorry. I should have called.

I was outside and I just popped in.

I'll be going now.

I'll call next time before I come by.

Would you get in here?

There's nobody here.

- Did you do all this for yourself?

- Yeah.

Why not fuss for yourself?

Looks like something you'd read

in a book on how to be single.

- Yeah. I think that's where I got it.

- I got a job.

Really?

I'm gonna teach this course

at a junior college and it...

Do you mind if we talk

about you and me?

Please do.

I don't know how to put this

without coming straight out.

I wish you would.

Well, I've got two things

that I just gotta get off my mind tonight.

One is I'm very nervous about

teaching this class for the first time.

Why am I so sure

that number two is the killer?

I wanna have sex with you.

Gulp.

I don't like the way you put that.
