You know what? I, uh--

I have this headache.

Do you think

we could finish this later?

Tomo-- maybe tomorrow even?

Of course.

Can I get you anything?

No no.

That's very kind.

I'm just, uh-- I--

I'll call you and we can

figure out a time.

Thank you for understanding.

I'm sorry about this.

Um, bye.

As you know,

I continued to write the play.

You've all been, uh,

really patient with the new pages.

So thank you.

It's very helpful to me.

Wow. What happened?

- All the songs are out?

- Yeah.

And your characters have new names.

I'm sort of losing my bearings here.

It's like an entirely different play.

Yeah, well,

that's the idea of a workshop--

things change.

I know that's the idea, Tyrone.

- Good.

- I mean, we're just simply--

just gonna see what happens.

You know, see where it goes.

Yeah, that sounds good to me.

Yeah, so...

see where-- where it takes us.

- Great. That's-- that's fine.

- Okay.

Thanks, guys.

You're deluded.

Or maybe you're not.

Maybe you're using

this accusation to mask

some sickness of your own.

It's pathetic.

That happens, you know.

Why would I poison her?

I don't know, Raymond. Why?

Go to hell.

Uh, can you take

that again, Raymond?

- It happens, you know.

- No, from "You're deluded."

And you know

that he knows that you're lying.

Oh, I wasn't so sure that I was lying.

You are, and he knows you are.

So--

I don't know, that's--

that's kinda going

a long way from a flirtation.

Now I'm poisoning my wife?

I mean-- I--

I don't mean to be rude.

I just-- I just don't know,

but I think it's interesting.

All right.

You're deluded.

Or maybe you're not.

Maybe you're using this accusation

to mask some sickness of your own.

- I'm don't-- I don't get this.

- It's pathetic.

Go to hell.

No, Raymond, you go to hell.

Okay.

Yeah, let's take--

take five minutes.

Raymond, can I talk

to you for a sec?

Why are you taking so much copper?

What do you mean?

You have about 20 bottles

of copper in your gym bag.

I don't have any... copper.

You know-- you know that.

Why are you saying that?

Raymond, I-- I saw it.

It's in your gym bag.

I saw it.

Sweetheart,

I don't have any copper. I...

I just don't get it.

I just want you to tell me the truth.

- That's all.

- Just in case you're wondering,

I don't mind if you

go through my stuff.

Just in case you're wondering.

Like a curtain had been pulled back,

I could suddenly see what was

really happening on the stage.

I don't like being so close

to you and having to pretend.

I know.

She's listening to us right now.

I can feel it.

I know you could see it too.

You're using this accusation

to mask some perversion

of your own.
