Joe and I broke up.
Alice What?
Marie When?
Monday.
Alice You waited three days to tell us?
Marie You mean Joe's available?
Alice Oh for God's sakes Marie don't you have any feelings about this? She's obviously upset.
I'm not that upset, we've been growing apart for quite a while.
Marie But you guys were a couple, you had someone to go places with, you had a date on national holidays.
I said to myself, "You deserve more than this, you're thirty one years old..."
Marie And the clock is ticking.
No, the clock doesn't really start to tick until you're thirty six.
Alice God you're in such great shape.
Well, I've had a few days to get use to it, and uh...I feel OK.
Marie Good. Then you're ready. [takes out a rolodex]
Look, there is no point in my going out with someone I might really like if I met him at the right time, but who right now has no chance of being anything to me but a transitional man.
Marie OK, but don't wait too long. Remember what happened to David Walsaw? His wife left him and everyone said, "Give him some time, don't move in too fast." Six months later he was dead.
What are you saying? I should get married to someone right away in case he's about to die?
Alice At least you could say you were married.
Marie I'm saying, that the right man for you might be out there right now, and if you don't grab him someone else will and you'll have spend the rest of your life knowing that someone else is married to your husband.
Marie "Restaurants are to people in the 80s what theater was to people in the 60s." I read that in a magazine.
I wrote that.
Marie Get out of here.
No, I did. I wrote that.
Marie I've never quoted anything from a magazine in my life! That's amazing. Don't you think it's amazing? And you wrote it?
I also wrote "Pesto is the quiche of the 80s."
Marie Get over yourself.
I did!
Marie Where did I read that?
New York magazine.
Sally writes for New York magazine.
Marie You know that piece had a real impact on me, I mean I, I don't know that much about writing but...
Well, well, it spoke to you, and that pleases me.
Marie I.. I mean I really.. have.. you have to admire people who can be as... that articulate.
Right now everything is great, everyone is happy, everyone is in love and that's wonderful. But you gotta know that sooner or later you're gonna be screaming at each other about who's gonna get this dish. This eight dollar dish will cost you a thousand dollars in phone calls to the legal firm of That's Mine, This Is Yours.
Marie Harry.
Please, Jess, Marie. Do me a favor, for your own good, put your name in your books right now before they get mixed up and you won't know whose is whose. Because someday, believe it or not, you'll go 15 rounds over who's gonna get this coffee table. This stupid, wagon wheel, Roy Rogers, garage sale coffee table.
I thought you liked it?
I was being nice!
Marie [on the phone with Sally]
That's great Sally.
Marie You should have done it in the first place.
For months, we've been saying you should do it.
Marie You guys belong together.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
Marie It's like two wrongs make a right.
...
Marie [They both hang up]
Tell me I'll never have to be out there again.
You'll never have to be out there again.
Is Harry bringing anyone to the wedding?
Marie I don't think so.
Is he seeing anyone?
Marie He was seeing this anthropologist, but...
What does she look like?
Marie Thin. Pretty. Big tits. Your basic nightmare.
