Zee and Co. Page #4

---

Oh, super. Thank you, Stella.

You know, I'm terribly lucky.

Robert and I get along better

than anyone we know.

Keep still, will you?

We go coasting along,

each in our own little way.

We don't ask questions, Robert and I.

It's not that we have... secrets.

It's just that we trust each other.

Bust, 39.

I'm not dependent on him

and he's not dependent on me.

We're interdependent.

Shoulder to waist, 16.

- That's all right.

- Ooh, can I have it by the weekend?

I don't know. Can we have it by the weekend?

I suppose so, yes.

Can you deliver it? Do you have our address?

Yes, we can deliver it.

No, I don't have your address.

Oh, Stella, please, can I have credit?

I'm a little overdrawn.

I think we can risk that.

- You know how it happens?

- We do have enough of that material?

We've got some upstairs

but I don't think it's enough.

You'd better phone Reynolds,

see if they have any.

It's a bit on the thrifty side but...

...once he sees the dress,

I know he'll absolutely adore it.

When he knows it's yours, he'll be sure.

That's sweet.

That's not for sale. It's mine.

Oh.

Sorry.

Mustn't take what isn't ours, must we?

Bye-bye, love.

Are you going?

Yeah.

I have to change and shave

before I go to the office.

I suppose I should have those things

here for you,

razors and such.

I'm not a very good mistress, am I?

You're not my mistress.

We're still lovers.

I'll call you this afternoon.

I won't be able to see you.

My sons are coming back.

So you won't have to make excuses tomorrow.

I never make excuses.

And now you're beginning to sound

like a mistress.

(Plane flies overhead)

(Rock music blares out)

Good morning, darling!

Here we are. Isn't that a lovely breakfast?

I got it out of the newspaper's suggestions

for today.

- It's so nice to be domesticated.

- Now and then.

- How do you feel about going to

the theatre? - I don't.

You know you can't go at each other

every night, darling.

I mean, you'll wear yourselves out.

It's only wearing

when it's something you don't want to do,

when it goes against the grain.

Oh, is it very genial?

Do you watch her make fruit salad?

I assume she can cook?

That would be one of her trump cards.

And I bet she has a footstool.

I can always tell the kind of cow

who has a footstool.

She suggests that you open a fish stall.

Oh, I can just see it all.

You spread out on a goat's skin rug,

recalling your childhood memories,

your traumas,

your poverty.

How you never got to see your mother

because she had to go out and scrub.

And of course she's a good listener.

They all are at first.

Then, soon, you'll have to listen

to her little cantata.

Alone. Not understood.
