Just what do you do for the Hadley Oil Company?
I, uh, have a sheepskin that says I'm a geologist.
...I was kicked out of the same school. They found rocks in my head.
Lucy I'd like to get off the merry-go-round.
Once we get up in the blue, I'm a different fella, a lot different from this character. I wouldn't admit this to anyone but you, but I drink too much.
Lucy Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. It's an adventure. It's exciting.
Are you looking for laughs? Or are you soul-searching?
Lucy The latter, I guess. I think I'm beginning to know Kyle - and to like him.
Well, in that case, I'm glad.
Lucy I was tempted.
Was it easy to overcome?
Lucy Yes, you made it easy.
'Kyle: How, by throwing my money at you?
Lucy No. No, it wasn't that.
What, then?
Lucy It was the ride. 'Up in the blue' as you call it.
Talked too much, didn't I?
Lucy No. It was good talk. Only something happened to me, something as unexpected as the things you told me. I tried to tell myself it was, I don't know, sympathy, compassion. But it was more.
Lucy Do you love me?
Love you? I don't even love myself.
Lucy Kyle, what is it? Is it something I've said or something I've done or should have done?
I can't tell you. I'm afraid. It's like I was deep in a mountain pass, snowcaps hanging over my head. If I make a sound, snow might all come tumbling down. Bury me - alive.
Lucy Bored?
Disgusted. Mostly with myself.
Lucy But I - I need you here.
That's the only reason I stayed - to help you.
Lucy Not Kyle?
I made a resolution last week. It goes like this - To Hell With The Hadleys.
Lucy I'm a Hadley.
Not to me you're not.
Lucy I respect my marriage.
Haven't I?
Lucy [telling him that she is pregnant]
Kyle, it's true.
You shouldn't have done that to me. You shouldn't have.
Lucy What are you talking about?
Mitch. You and the Mitch.
Lucy Don't say that Kyle. Don't even think it.
What did you think? You think I was just a drunken idiot? That I'd believe you? That I'd let you use my name? Take my money? You can rot in hell! You, Mitch, and your little...
Lucy Kyle, I've had nothing to do with Mitch.
