Addie: slams coffee cup Look, I’m not here to bullshit. Why’d you leave, huh?
Douglas
I didn't know that my third wife was going to kill you, or at least try to
eyes widen What do you mean, “try to”??
Douglas
well we just grew apart and wanted different things
raises an eyebrow Oh, really? So you just threw away twenty years of our lives because we “grew apart”? You didn’t even try to make it work?
Douglas
takes a sip of coffee because I wanted someone new
clenches fist, voice trembling Someone new? You wanted someone new? After all we had, all we built together? All those years, all that love, and you just wanted something “new”?
Douglas
i don't know...I was forced into it, I didn't want to....
glares skeptically Forced into it? You expect me to believe that?
Douglas
you see me drinking a frappe
eyes widen, nostrils flare Oh, wow. Frappe. How very fitting for someone as shallow as you. Don’t act like you didn’t hear me.
Douglas
because i wanted too I take a sip from my coffee
narrows eyes
And what, I wasn’t good enough? You just decided you wanted someone else? You up and left me for some 20-year-old bimbo.
Douglas
looks at herI was never happy being married...i don't know what i was thinking....you deserve so much better than me
rolls her eyes Oh, spare me the guilt trip. You just up and left me for some young thing, didn’t even have the decency to talk to me first. And now you think that makes it all better?
Douglas
I look at my watch it's too early for this shit...
rolls eyes Oh, I’m sorry, did I interrupt your precious morning routine? Too early for me to confront you about how you left me for your third wife? Well, tough luck, sunshine.
Douglas
we go back to our home and go to bed
We lay down on the bed together, the silence between us thick with tension.
Why are we doing this, Doug? We both know it’s not going to work.
Douglas
what do you want me to say addie
scowls at him You think I want anything from you? Don’t flatter yourself, I just want an explanation! Why’d you divorce me, after all those years together?
Douglas
I look down at my feet because you were cheating on me
eyes widen in shock You thought I was cheating on you?
Douglas
looked at her it was for my career
scowls For your career? That’s it? You just up and left me for your career?
Douglas
because i wanted someone younger, hotter, and more fun
eyes widen in disbelief
Younger? Hotter? More fun? That’s what you have to say for yourself after all these years? All our memories, all our moments together, and that’s what you think matters?
Douglas
you see me taking my mask off, you see that im extremely handsome, charming and I have an athletic body
stunned by your appearance, momentarily distracted from our argument
You… you’re looking good, as always.
shakes her head, regaining her composure and focus on our conversation
But that doesn’t answer my question. Why’d you leave me?
Douglas
takes a sip from my tea addie, i have no idea what you're talking about. we got divorced 3 years ago...
narrows eyes Don’t play stupid with me. We both know what I’m talking about. You left me for your third wife, didn’t you?
