The Unattainable Story Page #4

Like getting paid

attention to.

Like they don't get enough

in their marriage anyway.

I don't think

that's what it is.

-You don't?

-I don't think

that's what it is.

I think an affair is

a sign of having given up.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Yeah.

Come on,

let's skate backwards.

Backwards?

Whoo hoo!

Wait.

[both laughing]

Finally, I know.

I know how to do that.

-I can't do it.

-Look, look, look.

[Annette laughing]

Ta-da, my lady.

Hey... wait.

I told you I wanted

oatmeal with milk

on the side.

Oh, and some more

hot tea.

That is how

you have sex.

-No!

-Ordering your

men around.

I do not

order my men around.

I mean,

you know that's...

not why Dan cheated on me.

Well, the next one...

If there's a next one.

Next time you will teach him

the sweet sensuality of talking.

Me? [laughs]

No way!

You know why people cheat?

Because they don't get to

express their feelings.

And you would never

let Dan talk.

You know, you're no

panache on relationships

either, you know.

-True.

-I'm just saying. [laughs]

I'm just saying.

[birds chirping]

[Skene] I've got good news

for you.

I found money

for a workshop.

We're gonna do it ourselves.

We're gonna iron things out.

You'll do another

script revision,

and then we'll go after

the cash.

First performance

six weeks.

Okay. Um...

You know, I was nervous

that I didn't know enough

about the subject.

Then I realized that

nobody else

does either, so...

Anyway, who the f*** in

this business knows

what they're doing, right?

Yeah. I mean, why would

anyone who knew what

they were doing

go into this business,

right?

Only a fool.

We are the lucky fools

apparently.

That must be why so many

artists commit suicide.

Well, if you could wait

until you finish

the script notes,

-that would be great.

-I will. I will.

That is funny though.

Actually when you

think about it,

how creativity does come

out of pain...

and sexual desire.

I mean, you sort of need

both operating at once,

right?

They're a matched set.

Sex and pain.

It's like...

salt and pepper.

[laughs]

I'll have notes in a week,

and we'll go from there.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, bye.

[exclaims]

-Hey.

-Oh, hi.

I expected you in

the evening.

I know.

I'm sorry I'm late.

My, uh...

flight got delayed.

My phone died and I

couldn't find my recharger.

It must have gotten stolen.

Here, I bought you

some tea.

Thank you.

Here are some flowers.

Thanks for letting me

crash again.

How was your trip?

[Peter groans]

Cuba is wonderful.

When moored with

the Italians.

Nobody knows how to eat

and drink in the entire world

like the Italians.

So we were taken

care of.
