l got her a camera once.
:32:06
And an enlarger for our anniversary.
:32:10
She asked for it.
:32:14
What are you thinking about?
:32:16
l don't know.
:32:18
l was thinking about
that manuscript you're reading.

:32:22
-lt's just a terrible novel--
-Very autobiographical.

:32:27
-What else can l work on?
-Should l be insulted?

:32:30
Why insulted?
:32:32
The way we met.
That party in the Hamptons?

:32:35
''He spotted her from a distance
and Harriet leapt to mind.

:32:40
He was drawn to her instantly
because she reminded him...

:32:44
... of his only genuine passion.
:32:47
His sixth sense told him
to move on it.

:32:49
But she wasn't Harriet. The minute
he met her, the dream evaporated. ''

:32:54
-So she wasn't crazy.
-No, just boring.

:32:57
She's the best.
That's why he marries her.

:33:00
-But he pays a price.
-This is junk. l'll throw it away.

:33:04
You're wrong. lt's full
of vitality and wit. lt's good.

:33:09
-You're prejudiced, you're my wife.
-Your dull wife.

:33:12
l don't know why you ask
for my opinion. You don't care.

:33:16
-lt's not true.
-lt is true.

:33:20
l think it's a mediocre novel.
:33:22
You have no respect for my judgment.
lf somebody else said that...

:33:27
-...you'd accept it totally.
-l would not.

:33:32
After some time,
Judy and Sally had lunch.

:33:36
Sally made a surprising announcement.
:33:39
l like being single.
:33:41
You do?
l had the opposite impression.

:33:44
That's anticipatory anxiety.
:33:47
You realize it's not as bad as you
fantasized. Like pulling a bad tooth.

:33:52
All the festering wounds of your
marriage, the disappointments...

:33:57
...the resentments, they're gone
in one clean yank and you're free.
