1:09:00
l want you to get out of here now.
1:09:03
Swim the pool, do whatever
you have to do, but get out.

1:09:12
As soon as you tell me
who's coming over.

1:09:15
l told you that's
none of your business.

1:09:17
On a 10-point scale,
how would you rate him in bed?

1:09:33
What did l do to you, Shirley?
l'm sorry for whatever l did.

1:09:38
The usual red-blooded
married man thing.

1:09:40
At lunch, you lectured me about
the duties of a father and a husband.

1:09:45
lt's a classic by now, reprinted
yearly in the Reader's Digest.

1:09:49
l don't remember.
1:09:51
lt's the first really chic restaurant
you took me to in New York.

1:09:55
Right out in front
of everyone who counts.

1:09:59
- You cried.
- l also raised my voice.

1:10:02
lt tore me apart to see you crying.
1:10:05
You chose that place because you
thought l wouldn't make a fuss...

1:10:09
...in front of all those mink hats and
snobbish waiters and stylish fags.

1:10:14
No, no.
1:10:15
Did you really think
you could get rid of me...

1:10:18
...in no more noise than
the sound of finger bowls tinkling?

1:10:22
l loved you.
1:10:24
l didn't know what to do.
1:10:27
So you went back to your wife whom
you didn't love. Well, it figures.

1:10:31
lt's her real estate,
she owns all the pots and pans...

1:10:34
...knows where all
the lost shirt buttons are.

1:10:37
Why give up those comforts? Well,
l had a few comforts of my own.

1:10:43
When you were on that train
back to Connecticut...

1:10:47
...remember that groovy bellhop
in my hotel?

1:10:50
- Absolutely primitive, no hang-ups.
- You're lying.

1:10:54
You called me from the station.
1:10:56
l put the phone on the pillow
between us so we both could listen.
