The Break-Up Page #3

I'm glad you find that|amusing,

but I cannot fill a vase|with only three lemons.

Well,|can't you just use, like,|maybe a drinking glass?

I'm not gonna use|a drinking...

We could have|a smaller version|of a centerpiece.

I'm not gonna use|a drinking glass|for our centerpiece.

You know what?|I've got an idea.

Why don't we go ahead and|scratch the centerpiece idea|altogether,

because the chicken|that burnt my mouth

could maybe use|a little bit of lemon|on top of it.

Guess what? Now we've made|a better meal versus something|visually nice to look at.

What are you do...|What's happening here?|What are you doing?

What are you doing?|(STAMMERING) Oh, I had|such a long day on the bus.

I need a little bit|of down time.|My feet are killing me.

Gary, come on,|my feet are killing me, too.|I'm exhausted.

I worked all day.|Went to the market.

I cleaned this entire condo|and then I've been cooking|for the last three hours.

Come on. Help set the table.

GARY:
Sweetheart.|What?

You've done such a great job|already. Don't you want|to finish it yourself

and have that personal power|of that accomplishment?

Set the table.|Listen to me.

Do you think that|when Michelangelo, right,

was painting|the Sixteenth Chapel,|that he said,

"Hey, guys, you know,|I did pretty good|on the first 15 chapels,

"but why don't you help me|design this one?

"And maybe|you could help me...|Give me a brush

"and you guys can|grab brushes, and we can all|make a great chapel." Uh-uh.

No, he didn't.|And you wanna know|what the results were?

A masterpiece.

Okay. It's the Sistine Chapel,|not the Sixteenth,

and I bet when Michelangelo|asked for 12 brushes,|they didn't bring him three.

Yeah. Okay, all the talking|is really starting|to drain me,

and now I'm gonna have to|watch the highlights later|to see what I missed here.

Honey, look, Gary, just...|Down time's important.

Gary, please just|take a shower, okay?|Down time's important.

'Cause this is what|I don't want to have happen.

I don't want the doorbell|to ring. I'm then forced|to answer the door,

entertain people,|and I'm still cooking dinner.

Yeah.|Okay?

You're absolutely right.|Let's do that. The second|that this inning's over...

Gary.|There's one out all ready.

They're gonna be here|in 20 minutes.

Baby, have you ever seen|a shower of mine take|more than four minutes?

Yes, I have. Come on.

(DOORBELL RINGING)|Oh, great!

They're here. Okay.|Table's not set.|Dinner's not ready.

Would you please|just let my parents in?

I gotta jump in the shower.|What?

(DOORBELL RINGING)|I gotta go.

Gary. Gary.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

GARY:
Well, seeing how|our families haven't|had many opportunities
