The Woman in Red Page #2

---

- What should we do, cry?

I just want to know

if she had a right to take all the furniture.

Is it from Theresa?

Found a picture of me with another woman.

Naked?

In a night club.

This isn't happening.

This isn't f***ing happening!

It's not happening!

Son of a b*tch!

B*tches, f***ing whore!

Teddy, what could we do to cheer up Joe?

- Want to do the blind man with me tonight?

- I can't do that.

- You do the blind man with me?

- No, I get nervous.

Joe needs a good laugh.

We'll take him to the place

where they threw him out.

I get too nervous.

Came in with a cardigan.

They wanted him to put on one of their jackets.

- Okay, Michael? Come on.

- No, I get too nervous.

- Are you tied up with Mrs. Schumacher?

- I'm not tied up with her.

- His boss's wife.

- I don't believe it.

I'm telling you. You were away on vacation.

He's banging Dr. Schumacher's wife.

Son-of-a-gun!

Are you making it with Schumacher's wife?

- Only at night.

- If it's an emergency.

- "Only at night?"

- Ask him.

The time it takes me to drive there...

...is the exact same time it takes him

to scrub and put on his gloves.

If it's not a big job, it's not worth it to me.

If it's appendicitis, I don't go.

But, if it's peritonitis or a gall bladder...

"Hello, honey, good news.

It's a quadruple bypass!"

So, you say like this:

"Is Mr. Pierce there, please?" Very timid.

- "Is Mr. Pierce there, please?"

- That's it, just like that.

Then I'll get on the phone and say, "Hello?"

Then I'm going to wait a few seconds,

like I'm listening to you, and then I'll say:

"What?

"You want me to come out right now?

"Are you sure that you can't handle this

by yourself, Richard?"

- Who's Richard?

- Richard's my assistant.

He works here at the office with me.

Clear?

Is it a woman?

Is it a woman?

No. It's...

"Is it a woman?"

What goes on in your head?

No, it's just...

...we're planning...

Well, it's too complicated.

But don't tell Didi...

...because it's a wonderful surprise.

- You want me to call you at 8:15?

- 8:
15.

It has to be at 8:15 sharp.

- Hi, Daddy.

- Hello, sweetie pie.

Did Mom tell you about tonight?

- No. Missy, I'm sorry...

- I'm sorry, Daddy, but...

...Shelly didn't get the tickets until 4:00.

I know you really wanted to go to the movie...

...but it's a once-in-a-lifetime chance,

and his uncle had some pull.

- What tickets are you talking about?

- David Bowie.

You mean, you can't go to the movie?

I'm sorry, Daddy. I feel so bad.

No. Don't be silly.

Are you really disappointed?

Well...

No, I mean, I wanted to go, sure, but...

So these things happen.

I understand that.

- You remember Shelly, don't you?

- Of course.
