The Bonfire of the Vanities Page #3

You're going to stand there and say

you didn't call here asking for Maria?

121

00:
09:53,132 -- 00:09:55,521

You think I don't know your voice?

122

00:
09:55,932 -- 00:09:58,400

Judy, I was out walking the dog.

123

00:
09:59,292 -- 00:10:01,487

Crinkle, crinkle.

124

00:
10:01,692 -- 00:10:05,810

I am not lying. I took the dog for a walk.

125

00:
10:06,412 -- 00:10:08,482

Then I came back here and wham!

126

00:
10:08,892 -- 00:10:11,406

I hardly know what to say.

127

00:
10:11,852 -- 00:10:14,730

You are asking me to prove

a negative proposition.

128

00:
10:14,892 -- 00:10:17,087

Negative proposition?

129

00:
10:19,052 -- 00:10:20,485

Oh, God, Sherman.

130

00:
10:20,692 -- 00:10:24,731

Listen to the way I sound.

Listen to the stress. Hear it?

131

00:
10:27,372 -- 00:10:29,932

I don't want to be this person. I don't.

132

00:
10:30,132 -- 00:10:32,168

I am thin and beautiful.

133

00:
10:32,412 -- 00:10:34,323

I do not deserve this.

134

00:
10:36,972 -- 00:10:39,247

Here's the phone. Call her from here.

135

00:
10:39,532 -- 00:10:42,410

I don't mind. I really don't mind.

136

00:
10:43,092 -- 00:10:46,448

You are cheap and rotten and a liar.

137

00:
10:47,372 -- 00:10:50,170

And you are dripping

on my Aubusson carpet.

138

00:
10:53,452 -- 00:10:54,965

She was right.

139

00:
10:55,092 -- 00:10:56,650

And Sherman knew it.

140

00:
10:56,892 -- 00:10:59,565

Christ! How could he have been so stupid?

141

00:
11:00,252 -- 00:11:02,402

A simple phone call.

142

00:
11:03,212 -- 00:11:06,010

The next day, Judy's words still rang

in his ears.

143

00:
11:06,132 -- 00:11:08,168

"Cheap, rotten and a liar."

144

00:
11:08,332 -- 00:11:11,563

-Campbell, are we ready?

-I'm out of here.

145

00:
11:11,692 -- 00:11:13,284

Hold on.

146

00:
11:13,692 -- 00:11:15,011

Where is your mother?

147

00:
11:15,092 -- 00:11:16,491

Campbell!

148

00:
11:16,572 -- 00:11:19,086

She's crying on the Lifecycle.

149

00:
11:21,492 -- 00:11:23,562

"Crying on the Lifecycle."

150

00:
11:24,332 -- 00:11:28,371

Like so many men before him,

he was no match for a woman's tears.

151

00:
11:29,532 -- 00:11:33,002

She won't kiss me because I'm all wet.

152

00:
11:33,852 -- 00:11:37,208

Campbell, come and give

your mother a kiss.

153

00:
11:46,452 -- 00:11:47,521

Judy?

154

00:
11:52,172 -- 00:11:54,288

Why couldn't hejust say it:

155

00:
11:54,492 -- 00:11:56,642

"Look, Judy, I still love you.

156

00:
11:56,892 -- 00:12:00,771

"I still love our daughter,

our home, our life.

157

00:
12:01,132 -- 00:12:03,521

"But I am a Master of the Universe.

158

00:
12:03,732 -- 00:12:05,609

"I deserve more."
