Cynthia I'd trust him before I'd trust you.
God, that hurts if you say that to me.
Cynthia Come on, John! You're **** your wife's sister. You're a liar; but, at least I know you're a liar.

So, I don't... I don't understand, uh, what made you want to come here. I can't imagine Ann painted a very flattering portrait of me.
Cynthia Yeah, well, see, um, I don't really listen to Ann when it comes to men. I mean, look at John, for Christ's sake.
Cynthia If Ann got freaked out by these, there must be something sexual: are these tapes of you having sex with these girls?
No, not exactly.
Cynthia Well, either you are or your aren't; which is it?
Why don't you let me tape you?
Cynthia Doing what?
Talking.
Cynthia About what?
About sex... your sexual history, sexual preferences.
Cynthia What makes you think I'd discuss that with you?
Nothing.
Cynthia Hmm. And you just want to ask me questions?
I just want to ask you questions.
Cynthia That's all.
That's all.
Cynthia Is this how you get off or something? Taping women talking about their sexual experiences?
Yes.
Cynthia [asked whether or not her first sight of a man's organ lived up to her expectations]
Mm. No. Not really. I...I didn't... I sort of... I didn't think it would have, uhm, veins or ridges or anything. I just thought it would be smooth like a test tube. It's weird thinking about it now. The organ itself seemed like a - a separate thing, uhm, a separate entity to me. I mean, when he finally pulled it out, and I could look at it and touch it, I completely forgot that there was a guy attached to it. I remember literally being startled when the guy spoke to me.
What did he say?
Cynthia He said my hand felt good.
Then what happened?
Cynthia And then I started moving my hand - and then he stopped talkin'.
Well, what did he ask exactly?
Cynthia Well, I don't want to tell you exactly.
You let a total stranger record your sexual life on videotape, but you won't tell your own sister?
Cynthia Apparently.
Things are getting too complicated.
Cynthia No... they're gettin' real simple.
By definition you're lying to Ann too.
Cynthia Yeah, right. But, I didn't take a vow in front of God and everyone to be faithful to Ann.
Well, are we gonna do it or not?
