[music playing]

We build walls to keep things out.

To protect ourselves.

Marriage is one of those walls, if it works.

A barrier between us and them.

A beautiful facade to be admired, or feared.

But a wall works both ways.

It doesn't just keep things out.

It also keeps things in.

If you want to turn a palace into a prison,

all you have to do is lock the doors.

Blissful solitude, just the two of them.

Perfect.

Bound together, forever and ever.

Lucky them.

Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever,

and ever, and ever, and ever.

If she weren't married to Jason,would you really want her then?

[sigh] So often, we obtainthe object of our affections,

and we find she's not quiteas beautiful in the morning

as she was at night.

I would do anything to be with her.

You can think it, but youcan't say it, because you're

a fucking coward.

I hate your goddamn cigarettes, Linda!

All right?

Goodness.

WOMAN [VOICEOVER]: Oh, honey.

A man in an ice cream suit.

MAN [VOICEOVER]: Mm.

Now, there's a piece of art.

Full form, and by herself.

MAN [VOICEOVER]: Come together.

Another couple, another tragedy.

You lock it away inside.

You bury it.

Just because you're not lookingat it-- not thinking about it--

pretending it doesn't exist.

But that doesn't mean that it doesn't change.

Doesn't grow inside you.

Doesn't fester and breed.

Until it pollutes you completely.

And all that's left of thelove that you began with

is the hate.

[music playing]

SINGER: Love.

Obsession.

Power.

And possession.

Undone!
