Erica Are you crying?
Erica Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
Marin Why? What is it?
Erica I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I got to learn how to do that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?
Marin Oh, Mom. I hate this. Now do you get my theory about all this? You got to self-protect.
Erica You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?
Marin I think it's worth trying.
Erica Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out... maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.
Marin Are you telling me this is good? What's happened to you?
Erica I think you should consider the possibility that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.
Marin I've never had the time of my life.
Erica I know, baby. And I say this is from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
Erica I'm like the dumb girl that doesn't get it. I've never been the dumb girl before. It ain't great.
Harry Let's just calm down. I had these plans before I even met you. I mean, I do like seeing you. I do.
Erica [scoff]
Yeah.
Harry I'm always surprised by it.
Erica Surprised by it? What was I thinking?
Harry I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Erica The truth doesn't have versions, okay?
Harry Will you cut me a little slack? My life has just been turned upside down.
Erica Mine too!
Harry Well, then let's just each get our bearings.
Erica I don't want my bearings. I've had my bearings my whole goddamn life. I feel something with you I never really knew existed. Do you know what that's like, after a 20-year marriage to feel something for another person that is so...? That... Oh, Right. Right. Not your problem. God. Do you know that I've written this, but I never really got it? Do you know what this is?
Harry No.
Erica [Erica kisses Harry]
This is heartbroken. How that's for impervious.
Harry You're killing me.
Erica I just wish that it had lasted more than a week.
Harry Me too.
Erica That's a terrible thing to say. You know, the life I had before you I knew how to do that. I could do that forever. But now, look at me. What am I going to do? What am I going to do with all this?
Harry Erica. Can you wait just a second? The truth is, I... I just... I don't know how to be a boyfriend.
Erica That's what you have to say after all of this? That you don't know how to be a boyfriend?
Harry That's not a small thing.
Erica [shakes head]
Are we done?
Harry I don't know.
Erica Oh, my god.
[Erica gets in taxi and drives away]
