Nellie, you're a disgrace to depression.
Rot in hell, Melvin.
Rot in hell, Melvin.
No need to stop being a lady... quit worrying -- you'll be back on your knees in no time.
I haven't been sleeping. I haven't been clear or felt like myself. I'm in trouble. Some son of a bitch is burning my bridges behind my back... But the tiredness -- boy... Not just sleepy.
But sick -- nauseous -- where everything looks distorted and everything inside just aches -- when you can barely get up the will to complain.

Yeah...
What did she say?
I'm a great guy -- "extraordinary"... ... and she doesn't want contact with me. I'm dying here.

No... and you're supposed to be sensitive and sharp.

I don't know... Let me sleep on it and figure it out. Because I'm stuck! Can't go back to what I had... She's evicted me from my life.

It was better than this... Look, you, I'm very intelligent. If you're going to give me advice or conversation or consolation or hope, you got to be better than you're doing. If you can't be at least momentarily interesting than shut the hell up. I'm drowning and you're describing water.

Well, if that's true then I'm really in trouble.

Absolutely not.

You know who you want. I'll take your seat any day. So do something... don't sleep on it... go over there. I don't think anybody should ever sleep on anything -- it's not always good to let things calm down.

Hey... I'm charged here. But she might kill me for showing up this late.

Then get in your jammies and I'll read you a story... I think you've got a chance. The only real enemy you have is her ability to think logically -- the best thing you have going for you is your willingness to humiliate yourself if it gives you one chance in whatever -- so go catch her off- guard.

It means that I'm going to tell you things, even though I already know that you're not going to listen to a God damned thing I say.

Now I'll tell you something. It wouldn't fucking matter if I offered you one hundred million dollars. You'd still be thinking the same thing, that you're going to take me. And here I am, sitting through this, knowing it's bullshit, looking at you and the only thing going on in my mind, the only thing I can think is th...

The fucking contract! How in the fuck did he know.
I don't know what the fuck you are.
I know. It was a joke.
I have been sitting on a contract from Cleveland for six days because of you.
Fuck you, fuck Cleveland, and fuck your contracts --
I know what happened.

It cost us.
I give a fuck? I'm done! I quit! Do you fucking hear me! I'm fucking gone!
He stole another contract.
You think this is a fucking joke?

A player?
We have an M.O... Her system is protected by her 'pussy virus.'
Bullshit.

She is married, but not to him. Another man, much older. She has four kids. The young guy works for her. And I think she likes kinky sex.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Isn't it interesting though? I mean, look at us, in this room. Or yesterday, when we were walking in the plaza market. I mean, we look like just another couple. But what are we? Doesn't it seem so crazy?

He believed it all went back to one night, when as a little girl. I watched my parents have this big fight, really big. I thought my mother was going to kill my father. Then they went into their room and made up. And I watched them make love through the keyhole.
I wasn't watching television.
