:09:02
but I'm just saying, for the sake
of argument, we stumble onto something.

:09:07
This person's vulnerable as hell.
:09:11
You know, young thing, wallflower type
or whatever. Disfigured in some way.

:09:17
Some woman who is pretty sure
that life...

:09:21
and I mean a full, healthy sexual life,
romance, stuff like that...

:09:25
is lost to her forever.
:09:38
God bless you.
:09:41
Anyhow, we take a girl of that type...
:09:44
some corn-fed bitch who'd mess her pants
if you sharpen a pencil for her...

:09:49
and we both hit her.
:09:52
Small talk, a dinner date, flowers.
:09:56
No pushing it the first night out,
but it's like...

:09:59
taking her out, you know,
to see an ice show.

:10:03
Something like that.
:10:05
We just do it, you and me,
upping the ante all the time.

:10:09
Suddenly, she's got two men.
She's calling her mom.

:10:11
She's wearing makeup again.
:10:13
On we play,
and on and on.

:10:15
Then one day...
:10:17
out goes the rug
and us pulling it hard, and Jill...

:10:21
she just comes tumbling after.
:10:25
Whoa.
:10:27
Hour later, we're on a flight back to
civilization like nothing ever happened.

:10:32
Trust me. She'll be reaching
for the sleeping pills within a week...

:10:35
and we will laugh about this
till we are very old men.

:10:40
What do you think?
:10:42
- Well, it's...
- Is that not ideal?

:10:45
Restore a little dignity to our lives?
:10:48
The beauty is, for the next month
and a half, we can play ourselves off...

:10:53
as whoever we want to be.
:10:55
Right. I mean, it sounds...
:10:57
I don't want to shock you.
It's just a thought.

:10:59
It's the same crap we played in school,
only better...
