The Truth About Lies Page #5

Do you not remember

what happened last time?

I was by myself the whole time. You...

- I never even saw you.

- You were at the museum. Took all those great pictures.

- We had a great time.

- Oh, which was wonderful.

It's always about work with you.

I'm...

Work comes before me, before us,

before everything in your life.

Fine. Don't go.

Can we get the check, miss?

Yeah, we're gonna take this to go.

Really?

You win.

Great.

Do you wanna come in?

Mmm.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I just wanna take it slow.

Come on. You know you wanna come in.

No, what about your brother?

Who?

Oh, Gilby? No.

He's long gone. It's just you and me.

Fish sticks?

Hey, hey.

Well, that was...

Yeah.

I'll call you tomorrow.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Does he not like fish sticks?

- Get in the kitchen.

Why the hell are you still here?

Okay, you know, I gave it a lot of thought,

and I decided that I forgive you.

Oh, you forgive me.

Yes, I just wanted to let you know,

so that you don't torture yourself.

By the way, where is the tartar sauce?

How-how do you not understand this?

- It's over.

- We're great together!

Okay, we have some problems,

but so does everyone.

We are not great together.

- So, you never loved me?

- Gilby, come on.

I was in love with you.

But, you're so immature.

- And I am evolving, and you're not even trying!

- Okay, okay, so,

th-th-this is all because

I don't have a career

- you approve of, right?

- Okay, all right.

Well, 'A', I don't have

that career anymore,

and 'B', how shallow can you be?

Just keep telling yourself that

- if that's what makes you feel good.

- I will.

Okay, great, but this whole

idea that work is somehow

the root of all evil is an excuse for you

to not ever do anything with your life.

What? Oh, and this guy...

- This what's-his-face, Melvin...

- Calvin! Calvin!

Whatever! You're gonna tell

me he's emotionally mature?

Yes, actually. He is in

touch with his emotions,

and his career, and his sexuality.

Whoa, whoa!

What do you mean, his sexuality?

Calvin's openly bi.

You could never be that open.

Finally, something we both agree on.

Great.

- Don't touch those!

- Oh, they're my sticks!

- They...

- I'll touch them!

What happened?

I'm having some work done on my apartment.

Well, what about a hotel?

You don't want me here?

Jeez, Mom, I never ask you for anything.

I thought you'd be a lot

more comfortable in a hotel.

Don't you think I

would've stayed in a hotel,

if I wanted to?

Goddamn it. I'm happy here, all right?

- Do you have to smoke?

- I don't mind you staying here,

but don't cramp my style.

I'm just showing a little

concern for your health.
