Nicole Barber You're being so much like your father.
Nicole Barber I didn't compare you to him. I said you were acting like him.
You're exactly like your mother. Everything you were complaining about her, you're doing. You're suffocating Henry.
Nicole Barber First of all, I-I love my mother. She was a wonderful mother.
I'm just repeating what you told me.
Nicole Barber Secondly, how dare you compare my mothering to my mother! I may be like my father, but I am not like my mother!
YOU ARE!!! And you're like my father! You're also like my mother! YOU'RE ALL THE BAD THINGS ABOUT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE!!! But mostly your mother. When we would lie in bed together, sometimes I would look at you and see her, and just feel so gross!
Nicole Barber I felt repulsed when you touched me!
You're a slob. I made all the beds, closed all the cabinets, picked up after you like an infant!
Nicole Barber The thought of having sex with you makes me wanna peel my skin off.
You’ll never be happy. In LA or anywhere! You’ll think you found some better, opposite guy than me, a-and in a few years, you’ll rebel against him because you need to have your voice, but you don’t want a voice! You just want to **** complain about not having a voice!
Nicole Barber I think of being married to you and that woman is a stranger to me! I mean, we had a.... child’s.... marriage....
You’ve regressed. You’ve gone back to your life before you met me. It’s pathetic.
Nicole Barber People used to tell me that you were too selfish to be a great artist. I used to defend you. They were absolutely right.
All your best acting is behind you. You’re back to being a HACK!!
Nicole Barber You gaslighted me! You’re a **** villain!
Oh, you wanna present yourself as a victim because it’s a good legal strategy?! FINE, [Nicole shakes her head in shame] BUT YOU AND I BOTH KNOW YOU CHOSE THIS LIFE!!! You wanted it until you didn’t! You used me so you could get out of LA.
Nicole Barber I didn’t use you...
You did, and then you blamed me for it! You always made me aware of what I was doing wrong, [voice trembles] how I was falling short! 'LIFE WITH YOU WAS JOYLESS!!!'
Nicole Barber What, so you had to go and **** someone else?!
YOU SHOULDN'T BE UPSET THAT I **** HER, YOU SHOULD BE UPSET THAT I HAD A LAUGH WITH HER!!!!
Nicole Barber Do you love her?!
Nicole Barber You hated me! You **** someone we worked with!
You stopped having sex with me in the last year! I never cheated on you!
Nicole Barber That was cheating on me!
But there’s so much I could've done! I was a director in my 20s who came from nothing and was suddenly on the cover of **** Time Out New York! I was hot shit, and I wanted to **** everybody and I didn’t! And I loved you and I didn’t wanna lose you! But I’m in my 20s and I didn’t wanna lose that too, and I kinda did! And you wanted so much so fast! I didn't even want to get married. And....'**** IT!!!!' There's so much I didn't do.
Nicole Barber Thanks for that!
Nicole Barber I can't believe I have to know you FOREVER!!!!
You're **** insane! [punches the wall in a rage] AND YOU'RE **** WINNING!!!!
Nicole Barber Are you kidding me?! I wanted to be married! I’d already lost! [sadly] You didn’t love me as much as I loved you!
What does that have to do with LA? [Nicole stares at him, incredulous] What?!
Nicole Barber You're so merged with your own selfishness, you don't even identify it as selfishness anymore! YOU'RE SUCH A DICK!!!
EVERY DAY, I WAKE UP AND I HOPE YOU'RE DEAD!!!!! [voice breaking] DEAD, LIKE, IF I COULD GUARANTEE HENRY WOULD BE OKAY, I'D HOPE YOU GET AN ILLNESS, AND THEN GET HIT BY A CAR AND DIE!!!!!
I'm sorry.
Nicole Barber Me too.
