Scenes with Margo Dunne
3 scenes Margo Dunne [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.
Margo Dunne I know. Go home, **** her brains out, slap her with your penis. "There's some wood for you, bitch."
I will drill you as if you were doing a deposition. What to say, what not to say.
Margo Dunne A trained monkey?
A monkey who doesn't get the lethal injection.
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.
Margo Dunne [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.
Margo Dunne 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.
Margo Dunne You wanna stay.
I have a responsibility. It's not about what I want anymore.
Margo Dunne 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.
Margo Dunne [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?
