Scenes with Rose
3 scenes Rose Rose Rose No. I think the house is empty. I can't invite you in because I'm married and because I know who I am. You're shivering.
Perry
I'm a little cold.
Rose You're a little boy and you like to be bad.
Perry
We could go to my apartment. You could see how the other half lives.
Rose I'm too old for you.
Perry
I'm too old for me. That's my predicament.
Rose Why do men chase women?
Johnny
Well, there's a Bible story... God... God took a rib from Adam and made Eve. Now maybe men chase women to get the rib back. When God took the rib, he left a big hole there, where there used to be something. And the women have that. Now maybe, just maybe, a man isn't complete as a man without a woman.
Rose [frustrated]
But why would a man need more than one woman?
Johnny
I don't know. Maybe because he fears death.
Rose [Rose looks up, eyes wide, suspicions confirmed]
That's it! That's the reason!
Johnny
I don't know...
Rose No! That's it! Thank you! Thank you for answering my question!
