do they have waiters here? i love you.please come back. i'm not coming back. - sign.- no pen. pen. give me back my hand. (clears throat) sign. i'll signon one condition.
we skip this.we go to my sleeknew surgery and we christenthe patients' bedwith our final fuck. i knowyou don't want to and i know you thinki'm sick for asking,but that's what i'm asking. for old times' sake. because i'mobsessed with you. because i can'tget over you unless... because i think,on some small level, you owe me somethingfor deceiving meso exquisitely.
for all these reasons,i am begging youto give me your body. you'd be my whore. and in return,i will pay youwith your liberty. you do this,i swear i will notcontact you again. i'm going to the bar. i assume you stilldrink vodka tonic? you slept with him,didn't you? (exhales) what do you expect me to do?
understand. why didn't you lie to me? because we saidwe'd always telleach other the truth. what's so greatabout the truth? try lying for a change.it's the currencyof the world. i did what he wanted,and now he willleave us alone. i didn't give him anything. your body? if alice came to you,desperate,
with all that lovestill between you, and she saidshe needed youto want her so she couldget over you,you'd do it. i wouldn't like it either,but i'd forgive you. it's kindness. no, cowardice. you haven't got the gutsto let him hate you. i'm doing thisbecause i feel guilty,and because i pity you. - you know that, don't you?- yes.
- feel good about yourself?- no. it's gone. we're not innocent anymore. don't. don't stop loving me. i can see itdraining out of you.it's me, remember? it was a stupid thing to do,and it meant nothing. if you love me enough,you'll forgive me. are you testing me? i do understand.
no. he understands. all i can see is himall over you. he's clever,your ex-husband. i almost admire him. you going to tell him? better to be truthfulabout this kind of thing. i forgive you. (both laugh) dan: i think you enjoyed it.
he wheedles you into bed.the old jokes, the strange familiarity.i think you hada whale of a time. and the truth isi'll never knowunless i ask him. well, why don't you? (audience clapping) (bell buzzes) (intercom buzzing) yes? you can go in now.
- i want anna back.- she's made her choice. i owe you an apology.i fell in love with her. my intention was notto make you suffer. so where's the apology?you cunt. i apologize.if you love her,you'll let her go, so she can be happy. she doesn't want to be happy. everybody wantsto be happy. depressives don't.
they want to be unhappyto confirm they're depressed. if they were happy,they couldn't be depressed. they'd have to go outinto the world and live,which can be depressing. - anna's not a depressive.- isn't she? i love her. boo-hoo. so do i. she's gone back to youbecause she can'tbear your suffering. you don't know who she is. you love her likea dog loves its owner.
and the ownerloves the dogfor so doing. you'll hurt her.you'll never forgive her. of course i'll forgive her.i have forgiven her. without forgivenesswe're savages.you're drowning. you only met herbecause of me. yeah. thanks. it's a joke.your marriageis a joke. here's a good one.she never sent the divorcepapers to her lawyer. now, to a towering romantichero like you, i don't doubti am somewhat common.
but i am, nevertheless,what she has chosen and we must respectwhat the woman wants. if you go nearher again, i swear i will kill you. okay. i have patients to see. when she came here,do you thinkshe enjoyed it? i didn't do itto give her a nice time. i fucked her to fuck you up. a good fight is never clean.
and of course she enjoyed it. as you know,she loves a guilty fuck. - you're an animal.- yeah? what are you? you think love is simple.you think the heartis like a diagram. have you ever seena human heart? it looks likea fist wrapped in blood! go fuck yourself.you writer! you liar! you go check a few factswhile i get my hands dirty. she hates your hands.she hates your simplicity.
