And a scarf. A woolen scarf…cashmere is better if you have one. I knew something was coming, Olive. I knew we were in trouble. In the middle of the night, i’d tiptoe into the bathroom and I would pray, “Please God, please help me save my marriage. please, god tell me what to do. Tell me what i’m doing wrong. Please god help me . ….and then i’d hear Sidney in the bedroom saying “Please god make her shut up. Tell her to be quiet. Please, god”

How can I help you when……..I leave a mess after I read a book

A

But what’s the point of it all? when you’re dead, they’re going to throw dirt on you anyway.

A

If only I could change…Maybe I should call Sidney.

What for?

A

To talk it out again. Maybe we left something unsaid.

91
Q

Where’s your self-respect? you want to crawl back on your hands and knees?

A

He wouldn’t notice. He’d think I was scrubbing the floors.

Q

Florence, Listen to me….And move in here with me.

A

Won’t I be in the way.

93
Q

Of course you will.

A

I’m a pest.

94
Q

I know you’re a pest. I gave you the name.

A

Then why do you want me to live with you.

95
Q

Because I can’t stand living by myself either…because i’m lonely, that’s why.

A

I never thought of you being lonely. You have so many friends.

96
Q

Friends go home at 11….what do you want, a ring?

A

If you really mean it, Olive, there’s a lot I could do around here. I could turn this place into something out of Architectural Digest.

97
Q

Florence, Sports Illustrated is fine with me.

A

I want to do something, Olive. Let me do something.

98
Q

Alright. Tomorrow you can build me a terrace. Anything you want.

A

You’ll eat like you never ate before. You like hot Russian Blinis? Or Shashlik Caucasian? I’ll make it for dinner.

99
Q

You don’t have to cook. I like eating out.

A

Breakfast and dinner at home. We’ll save a fortune. We’ll need it, because i’m not taking a single penny from Sidney.

100
Q

Wait a minute. Lets not be hasty.

A

You told me to have self respect, didn’t you. HOw am I going to have self respect if I take money from Sidney.

101
Q

Money is the one area where self respect doesn’t work.

A

I don’t need anything from Sidney. I’ll show him. I’ll show him what I can do. …..That’s him. That’s Sidney.

102
Q

Hello? Oh hello Sidney.

A

I’m not here. You didn’t see me. You don’t know where I am. I didn’t call. You can’t get in touch with me. I’m not here.

103
Q

Yes. She’s here.

A

DON”T TELL HIM THAT. DIDN”T I TELL YOU NOT TO TELL HIM THAT.

104
Q

Yes. She told me everything.

A

How does he sound. Is he worried. What is he saying? Does he want to speak to me? Because I don’t want to speak to him.

105
Q

I agree with that Sidney

A

You agree with what. Don’t agree with him. Agree with me. I’m your friend. I can’t believe you agreed with him.

106
Q

Well personally I think she’s taking it very well Sidney.

A

I AM NOT TAKING IT WELL do you call this taking it well?

Oh. I know you have Sidney. You’ve been wonderful that way. God bless you.

A

WHAT DO YOU MEAN GOD BLESS YOU? DON”T GOD BLESS HIM.

Q

Well don’t repeat…god that’s irritating.

A

I’m sorry. Forgive me, Olive. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
