Seven. You know you could’ve left a note.

Q

You should know better than to confide in your sister.

A

On the contrary, I was hoping she’d tell you. It must twist you all up inside that I’m with a woman.

I resent that. I’m not sure why, but I resent that.

You think I don’t know what you’re up too? You disappoint me.

Q

Disappoint. Well, it’s a start. When I get to devastated let me know.

A

You were hoping you’d find me so you could parade your new girlfriend in front of me. Really, that’s so beneath you.

Q

Oh, I disagree. Hard to forget making love to a corpse.

A

If I seemed like a corpse it’s only because I was bored stiff. At least one of us was.

Q

Even a ‘go screw yourself’ written on the bathroom mirror would have been something.

A

Would saying something now make things any better?

30
Q

It might.

A

Alright. Go screw yourself. Oh, you’re right, I do feel better.

31
Q

I’m surprised to know you can feel it all.

A

You know what I feel? I feel sorry for you. Cause you blew and good thing and you know it. Or you would know it if you had any blood running in your veins.

32
Q

Sorry. You drank it all.

A

Do you think we could ever just..

33
Q

Play nice? Where’s the fun in that?

A

True. I liked the vampire comeback by the way.

34
Q

Shhh. Don’t spoil it.

A

Right
(Pause)
You know it’s too bad City College doesn’t have a course in good taste. Your choice in paintings is atrocious.

35
Q

So is my choice in women, but somehow I survive.

A

I would have thought you’d prefer this one, here.

Cold…rigged….structured….

36
Q

Is that really how you think of me?

A

Not at all.
(A beat)

I don’t think of you at all.

37
Q

I don’t believe you.

A

Well maybe sometimes….in the morning when I wake up and you’re not-

38
Q

I meant about your not liking this painting. I think you do like it.

A

Oh?

39
Q

…..ohh, yeah, this paintings special to you isn’t it?

A

All right! Yes! I think it’s brilliant. The way you can see the anger in every brushstroke. The emotions are hanging out there for all to see. It’s honest. Refreshing. I can’t believe we like the same painting.

40
Q

Actually I lied. I hate it.

A

I knew it! It’s amazing how opposite we are.

41
Q

Oh I don’t know. We’re both attracted to women.

A

I told you, that’s over. Where’s this women you’re meeting by the way?

42
Q

And I told you you shouldn’t assume it’s a women.

A

Really! Quick. What’s his name?

43
Q

Paul.

A

How do you know him?

44
Q

My teacher at City College introduced me to him. You know him too, actually.

A

I don’t think I know any Paul’s. What’s his last name?

45
Q

Klee.

A

You came for the Klee exhibit?

46
Q

You see? Maybe anything is possible.

A

Almost anything.

47
Q

Things might be different.

A

We both lied about liking that painting. Nothings changed.

48
Q

I like it when it all makes sense!

A

Why? Life doesn’t.

49
Q

That’s why.

A

I’m sorry about leaving the way I did. I just couldn’t play the game anymore.

50
Q

But you play so well.

A

That’s what scared me. All the dazzling repartee… it was like a shunt veneer, not the real thing. I needed to see underneath the gloss now and then. But all those mind games…

51
Q

So you decided to go lesbo?

A

Case in point.

52
Q

You faked the whole thing.

A

With a little help from my sister.

53
Q

You went to a lot of trouble.

A

Not really. I’m used to faking it with you.

54
Q

That’s my girl.

A

I hope you’re not thinking what I think you’re thinking.

55
Q

You mean about you and me..

A

Yes

56
Q

and your therapist?

A

What?

57
Q

And now that I know you’re not really-

A

In your dreams

58
Q

You really think I’d ask you back?

A

You really think I’d come back?

59
Q

I wouldn’t give you the satisfaction.

A

As if you ever satisfied me.

60
Q

As if you could ever be satisfied!

A

As if you could ever just be!

61
Q

I draw the line at modern art. Zen, no way!

A

You know it wouldn’t work.

62
Q

It doesn’t work now.

A

We’d only make eachother miserable.

63
Q

That’s why it might work. At least we’d know we’re each making the other miserable.

A

Until I couldn’t take it anymore. Then I’d run away again.

64
Q

I’d find you again.

A

That’s crazy.

65
Q

Doesn’t make sense

A

You didn’t really come here for the Klee exhibit, did you?

66
Q

Well. He was my backup. Incase you didn’t show.

A

You really like his work?

67
Q

Mm. I like his motives.

A

Motifs.

68
Q

Motifs. I don’t know what I’m talking about.

A

I know. It’s wonderful.

You’re better off. I’m just like this painting you hate so much. No primer, no gloss. Just the raw me.

69
Q

Oh come on. You’re not that ugly.

A

Well. I should go.

70
Q

Yes you probably should. Before I get to rigid.

A

It was good for me too.

You know, if you like Klee you might want to check out Kandinsky.

71
Q

Kandinsky.

A

There’s an especially good collection at the Guggenheim. Mondays at five is a good time. The crowds street to thin out around then.

72
Q

Monday’s at five. I’ll keep that in mind.

A

You are trying, Russell. I appreciate that.
