About my body.

If it wasn't for sex,

Franny and i would have

A perfect relationship.

I don't mean perfect...

[moans].

But there's more good

Than bad.

She's just shut everything out.

it's just that i have

Different kinds of desires.

Desires you know that...

That can't be met

By my husband... Or won't.

[heavy breathing].

[moaning].

She does these kinky things.

Once we decided to break up,

We became friends again.

Kinda like a hungry wolf.

[sighs].

They're still our friends.

Artie?

mmm...

Sure we are.

artie wants to do things

Impotent and he is the one

Who ends up

Feeling frustrated.

He's even seen me give birth,

Twice...

But when it comes to

Talking about...

Talking about

What i really want,

I just can't do it.

You do, it's natural

And that's enough.

That's enough.

Music.

[heavy breathing].

do you feel good?

uh-huh.

it feels so good for me.

Can we talk about

Anything, hon?

Why?

i just figured there

Might be word about

Something or somebody.

I'm happy for beth.

I think mike's a child

And i also think that

okay, okay, okay, but

Okay, that's fine.

That's good.

Okay, mike has had a couple

Of problems he's working out.

yes, but why should beth

Have to suffer, alright?

I think it's great all the

Stuff she did on vacation.

I always knew she had

A wild streak in her.

hon, this isn't about

Her wild times and making

Measures, hmm?

now, i think my wild times

Are over for good.

Look, is there anything else

You need because i'd

no. That's fine.

Now watch tv, hon.

That's good.

I want some.

She gives all the guys one.

[laughing].

That was last week.

The survey thing that

You were telling me.

You know, the story you read.

Sex takes up 1% of our lives.

that much time?

how much is 1% of

24 hours?

who says that it does?

it does.

it does not.

everybody knows that

The whole world

Revolves around sex.

we kill, die, suffer

And get divorced all for

A little nooky nooky.

[laughing].

oh, there she goes again.

Anytime anybody mentions sex,

There she goes.

that's not true.

well, i don't know about

no big deal.

but i really

I don't think i would have

A problem with opening up

And telling my most intimate,

Filthy secrets to a total

Stranger for a survey

oh, so some pervert can

Read them?

No, thanks.

i don't know.

Will, can perverts read?

i'll ask my boss.

To show.

Between you two with

A feather cluster.

do you think eight scoops

Is enough for a full

Pot of coffee?

franny...

It's almost been a year.

Aren't you afraid artie will

Go looking for some girls?

look, that's not what this

Is about at all,

And artie would never.

don't be so sure

About that.

Put away a man

In his own bed,

There's no telling

What he'd do.

well, i guess it's up to me

To worry about that.

who are you to give

Advice, beth?

You gave up.

franny, aren't you afraid of

What artie will do?

To talk about this,

Not with you, not with him,

Not with anyone.

That looks really good.

[laughing].

I'm still married.

The divorce hasn't

Gone through yet.

Leaving mike was the

Hardest thing i've ever done.

Not being with him

That way anymore.

[car honking].

As lonely as i feel.

Music.

Do you?

What she's talking about?

well, when you're

Having sex, do you come

Just from intercourse?

no, honey, no.

Usually it requires some

Sort of manual stimulation.

of course, franny.

I mean that's why

Men have fingers.

and toes.

and tongues.

good.

That was only one.

seriously, it's like

When god created women,

He made a mistake.

He put our clit

This much too far forward

And if he just moved it back

[laughing].

stop!

okay, okay.

it would be perfect.

can we try it?

I want bone-jarring,

Window-rattling sex,

You know?

I just want passion.

And i want the lust

To be there.

Right up to the

Ceiling tile...

Music.

If you're serious about this,

Then you'll stop.

Disco music.

[crickets chirping].

Avoid being alone with you,

Won't she?

you noticed that too, huh?

sorry.

That's none of my business.

nope.

You happen to be

Very right, meg.

look, artie, if we ever

Get together, there'll

Be nothing left.

[clicks].

meg, i really think

We should meet.

it would never work.

why?

you know why.

I mean for christ's sake,

We met through a fucking

Obscene phone call.

That's not exactly

A foundation for

A meaningful relationship.

meg, we already like

Each other.

what if we weren't

Physically attracted

To each other?

that's not gonna happen.

what if it did?

what are you so

Afraid of, meg?

im afraid of...

I'm afraid of

Getting hurt.

It happens to me

All the time.

Things just seem

To miraculously work out

With the wife

And i end up alone,

Just when you're tired of

Being alone.

[ball bouncing].

on top of everything else,

Shelley is never having

Sex with me anymore.

yeah.

Well, take my word for it.

If you have an affair,

You're going to regret it

10 seconds after you come.

Marriage vows,

All those promises,

You'll know that you've

Stepped all over them.

Youll feel like a liar

And a piece of shit and

Nothing you can ever do

Or say will change

What you did.

yeah, well, you should

Think about that yourself

Too, okay?

you know how fucking

Frustrating it is?

Beth and i, we tried it.

In fact, i want her back.

I still love her.

Man, i hate this

Fucking game.

[birds singing].

meg?

artie?

bill.

[laughs].

[children talking distantly].

hi.

hi.

you wanna go somewhere?

Cup of coffee or something?

i never touch the stuff.

Tea, lemon and one sugar.

I got my truck over here.

I thought maybe we could

Sit and talk.

face to face for a change.

I'd like that.

me too.

[door opens].

beth?

[door closes].

don't you know how to knock?

Oh mike, i don't know

What to say.

just say thanks.

did you get this out of

My garden?

so what did you want

To see me about?

why couldn't you have

Been this nice when

We were married?

oh, we're still

Married, kiddo.

What is this?

[paper rustling].

No, beth.

I'm not gonna sign them.

mike, you must have known

It was coming.

[clicks].

so...

well, well, well.

Three holes in the ground.

[laughs].

I can't believe you

Know that.

That's amazing.

do i look like you

Imagined i would?

no.

Better.

So much better, meg.

What about me?

i tried not to

Picture anything.

That way i wouldn't be

Disappointed.

[sighs].

are you?

no.

Oh, this is so awkward.

I know what you sound

Like coming.

I don't even know what

Your favorite color is.

white.

great to know.

Mine is blue.

I've been so incredibly

Busy lately.

Writing reports mostly.

I think writing is probably

The loneliest thing

In the world.

[creaking].

hello, meg.

Music.

[breathing heavily].

meg, no.

i want to.

Let me touch you.

this is for you.

This is for you.

It's all for you.

[panting].

Open your eyes, meg.

I want to see them.

[moaning].

I want to see you, meg.

I want to see you.

I want to see you.

I want to see you, meg.

I want to see you.

[gasps].

[moaning].

[gasping].

i can't believe how soon

I can do that.

oh god, no.

No, no, no.

God!

You look so beautiful.

You get all shiny

Like a pony.

[footsteps].

shouldn't you be home

With your wife?

yeah, well,

Both the little ones

Are in bed and shelley

Is probably off watching

"the love connection"

Right about now.

okay, come on.

[footsteps].

fear of age.

No, it's more than that.

I've had chance

To fool around.

It's wrong.

You gotta consider the kids.

It's not fair to them.

I've got two of them.

My father walked out on me

When i was still in

Grade school

And i vowed never to let

That happen to my kids.

Anyway, you get married

And you make promises

To each other, vows.

Sometimes when a person

Doesn't live up to

Their end of the bargain

And you end it,

I guess, i mean,

If you can't fix it...

I'm not trying to fix it.

Sometimes i think it's

Just beyond repair.

what are you doing?

you said i could.

no.

What i say and what

I choose to do are two

Different things.

No.

richard, i want you.

Come on.

I've been a good girl.

i'll be the judge of that.

ow.

Ow, that hurts.

it's supposed to hurt.

Hey, did i say you can

Kiss me?

kiss you?

I'm trying to bite you.

Please, richard,

I want you so bad.

how bad?

is tea okay?

[water pouring].

thanks.

See, this is the way

you love me, huh?

i mean...

[laughing].

i know what you mean.

Some music?

[clicks].

slow dancing?

slow music?

Music.

[moans].

i've never been

Unfaithful to my wife.

i know it.

It shows.

[sighs].

Well...

Maybe you should go home.

yeah.

Thanks for the tea.

there she is.

hi.

hi.

Ooh, food!

Ooh, ooh.

oh, i'm hungry.

I'm hungry.

What do we got?

One sugar.

Remember that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you tell me something

hm-hmm?

hm-hmm?

To remember it..

I like that.

no, she...

She stopped caring.

I am a great cook?

A chinese restaurant?

[laughs].

For you.

I would love to wake up

I wouldn't have to

Fuck you, okay?

Just hold you.

All night.

Where the hell

Were you last week?

how was seattle?

it was very wet.

So am i.

[paper rustling].

Why is it you never

Let me kiss you

Or touch you?

i'm afraid if we...

I'm afraid if i...

I'm afraid you might

Disappear.

so, what are we exactly?

I mean we're not lovers.

friends, i guess,

Very good friends.

friends do not do

What we do.

Why don't you stop trying

To make this less than

What it is?

just what is that, meg?

i dont know.

damned if we know.

Damned if we don't know.

Music.

[keys jingling].

[glass breaks].

shit!

Gotta love it.

[water running].

oh, mike!

let me see your face.

you scared me.

Get out!

let me see your face.

mike, we shouldn't

Be doing this.

come on.

You're just so beautiful.

mike, no.

This is wrong.

You got to stop this.

[moaning].

i remember the time when...

Getting married

And spending the rest

Of our lives together was

The greatest thought

In the whole world.

And now...

Getting a divorce is...

Is the only way we can

Stay friends.

[water running].

mike, do you hear me?

i heard you.

Beth...

won't you sign the papers?

how can you say that

After what just happened?

Come on.

Maybe we're making

A mistake.

mike, you don't get it,

Do you?

You said we are not

Getting back together.

It's just sex,

Not a relationship.

[door slams].

is she out again?

no, she's asleep.

I checked in on her

Right before i called.

hello?

Who were you talking to?

please don't take it so hard.

what, am i supposed to be

Happy about this?

i don't expect you to be.

I tried to warn you.

Even beth did.

oh, so you're still

Seeing beth.

That's it.

i never stay in anyones

Place for a long time.

It just has to be this way.

am i just some kind of toy?

Is that what it is?

Just some kind of little

Fucking game that you play?

no.

then tell me.

What is it?

Just tell me what it is.

I will change.

no.

It's not you, shelley.

It's something in me

And i can't change.

I don't want to change.

so that's it.

Just walk away?

It's easier just to

Pick me up,

Throw me on the ground,

Squash me and walk

The fuck away, isn't it?

that's your version.

fuck you!

It's your version.

Fuck you, richard.

Fuck you!

How dare you,

Fucking asshole!

[weeping].

you're awake, fran.

I know you're awake.

You're always awake, fran.

About this?

I mean do you really want

To talk about this?

Artie, i just can't be

Who you want me to be.

I just can't go where you

Want me to go.

Not right now anyway!

You've got to let go.

Right now, and i mean now.

To feel anymore at all?

Bullshit!

It's most times and

I feel...

I feel very sorry for you,

Fran, very sorry.

[panting].

i feel...

Like i'm being punished.

Artie really wanted

To make love and i felt

So beautiful being pregnant,

So we made love

And there was blood

And we lost the baby.

All i really wanted to be

Was somebody's mother,

Somebody's wife

And somebody's mother.

Music.

You fucked me and

You're running away now?

Before you even called me.

Why do you think i went

To dallas so often?

Then why didn't

You tell me before, huh?

Why didnt you

Tell me before?

To me you'd leave her.

Never once did you tell me

You loved me.

I am so sick and tired

Of being the other woman.

I am so sick and tired

Of guys telling me,

"she's doesn't

Fuck me like you.

She doesn't suck me

Like you."

I just need something

That's mine.

For every guy that's

Fucked you over.

Music.

[chattering].

To do, huh?

Barely tolerate each other

Like good old fucking

Dependable shelley and will?

Is that what you want, huh?

You don't know?

You don't know?
