bizarre.
Like what?
Pleasing me.
Let's do it.
Really?
I don't know what it's about,
but you've inspired me.
Fantastic.
I'm... I'm really glad.
So you have
a first draft?
Yes.
This is very important.
You have to trust me.
[Skene] Her play is about
and his wife, Alma.
Alma was a composer herself.
But when she married Gustav,
he told her there could
only be one composer
in the house.
And she made the choice to
devote her life to his music
and not her own.
His passion for his work
only grew stronger,
and Alma's desire
to be loved
made her stray
to an architect,
a man named Gropius.
Gustav loved her,
but he never expected
her to have her own mind.
[Jacqueline]
What are these books?
of themselves.
I go to my therapist
for that.
Well, books are more honest.
They show us
how you can't...
You know what.
Um, are you kidding me?
You have equal amounts
of non-fiction and fiction.
[laughter]
Really non-fiction
tells me how to
live my life,
and I appreciate it.
And fiction
shows me how to
relive my own life
more deeply.
[Steve]
All I'm saying is...
this is clever.
It's quick.
It's energetic.
But the fact that you refuse
to put in any insight
is really,
it's a form of anger.
Guys, I don't think
it's always that
deeply psychological.
Okay.
What do you think's
going on?
[Annette] I think
some people sing, or...
or they play a musical
instrument for their
creative outlet.
But what's rare
is the willingness
or the ability
to put yourself
into it.
True.
True.
It could be fear.
Or...
not knowing what
to put into it.
Or...
not being able to
go deep enough.
Hmm.
[Skene] At first my notes
to her were about
dialog and character.
But as we moved forward,
I knew that what we needed
was something more.
I kept asking her
about Mahler,
but I kept getting
these other stories.
[solemn instrumental music]
[David] I fixed
your lamp wire.
Like you care.
I do care.
Why don't you fix
my wire?
All right.
Just don't get
any ideas.
Okay? Like you did
with thousands
of other women.
And don't hurt me.
I won't.
I promise.
What do you think
we'll have in common
once we've exhausted
the subject of love?
Oh, I think we'll find
plenty to talk about.
Like...
what's for dinner.
What's on TV.
Do we have any
water in the house.
Oh, we'll find lots of
stuff to talk about.
Mm.
Oh, so I'm the one
You're the one who
doesn't want to deal with
any of the big issues
that we have with this.
How about staying
on a budget?
