[discussing what kind of wood item Nick is going to give to Amy for their fifth wedding anniversary, the "wood" anniversary]

So, what'd you get her?"

There's no good gift for wood.

I know. Go home, **** her brains out, slap her with your penis. "There's some wood for you, bitch."

I always wondered why you kept in touch, after everything. You were together for two years in boarding school, right?

Desi Collings

She was my first serious girlfriend.

Why did you break up?

Desi Collings

That's a strange question.

Did you treat her bad? Did you cheat on her?

Desi Collings

That's a rude question.

Let me tell you what Amy told me. She dumped you, you completely unravelled. You stalked her, you threatened her, you attempted suicide in her bed and were institutionalised.

Desi Collings

Your wife is missing, and you came all this way to tell me this?

Well I thought there might be another side to this story.
[Desi closes the door]

You **** ****!

I'm the **** you married. The only time you liked yourself was when you were trying to be someone this **** might like. I'm not a quitter, I'm that ****. I've killed for you; who else can say that? You think you'd be happy with a nice Midwestern girl? No way, baby! I'm it.

****. You're delusional. I mean, you're insane, why would you even want this? Yes, I loved you and then all we did was resent each other, and try to control each other, and cause each other pain.

That's marriage. Now, I'm getting ready.

[the couple emerges moments later from their bedroom, both dressed nicely; the viewing party guests glance up at them as they slowly descend the stairwell. Amy reaches for Nick's hand, and he takes it after briefly hesitating. The scene cuts to Nick and Margo in the latter's kitchen, as Margo is in tears]

I can't watch you play house with that thing for the next 18 years!

I can't just walk away.

You could get custody.

No, I won't, and you know it. It's gonna be my child, and I'm not gonna leave it.

You wanna stay.

I have a responsibility. It's not about what I want anymore.

You wanna stay with her. [she chokes up further] You're breaking my heart.

Go, you're my voice of reason. I need you with me on this.

[sniffling]

Of course I'm with you. I was with you before we were even born.

[the scene cuts back to Nick and Amy's home, where the interview with Ellen Abbott is being broadcast live in the living room]

...and, we've been through the darkness. We come out, united. Uh, we communicate. We're honest with each other. We're partners in crime.

And?

And... [with a forced smile] we're gonna be parents.

Ellen Abbott
[smiling widely]

Oh, my goodness! [She steps away from her chair and embraces Amy on the couch, as Nick looks away in displeasure] Oh, how exciting!

[the scene shifts to Nick narrating, while stroking Amy's hair]

What are you thinking? [Amy looks upwards] How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? [Amy leans into Nick] What will we do?

[Last lines]

What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other? What will we do?

[Opening lines]

When I think of my wife, I always think of her head. I picture cracking her lovely skull, unspooling her brains, trying to get answers. The primal questions of any marriage: What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What have we done to each other?

I'm so much happier now that I'm dead. Technically missing. Soon to be presumed dead. Gone. And my lazy lying shitting oblivious husband will go to prison for my murder. Nick Dunne took my pride and my dignity and my hope and my money. He took and took from me until I no longer existed. That's murder. Let the punishment fit the crime.
