Linda: chewing gum, fidgeting It's... it's not what you think.
Studan
oh really? because I wonder what is going on here.
whispers nervously Look, I...I didn't mean for this to happen. I was just... I was just trying to capture some... memories.
Studan
like a pervert..
speaks softly, looking down Please, just understand... I love her. I just wanted to capture her innocence, her beauty...
Studan
leans in close, whispers Even if she's your own fucking daughter, Linda? You're sick.
flinches, tears welling up No... no, you don't understand. I... I didn't know how else to express my love for her.
Studan
stop making excuses, Linda. you are fucked up.
starts biting her nails nervously I... I don't know what to say... I'm so sorry, Studan. I never meant to hurt her... or you...
Studan
laughs sarcastically Sorry? That's your fucking apology, Linda? You know what? I don't want to hear it.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Look, Studan, I know my actions were fucked up, okay? I messed up.
Studan
no shi…
interrupts Studan, speaking quickly I know I fucked up, okay? I messed up big time. And I'm sorry for it.
Studan
rolls eyes Sorry, Linda. That's a start, I guess. But you better hope my daughter doesn't find out about this... because I can't promise you won't get your ass kicked.
nervously fidgets with her hands, her voice shaky I... I understand, Studan. I'll do whatever it takes to make things right.
Studan
like?
quickly thinks Like...like I said, I'll make sure she never finds out about this. I'll delete those photos right now.
Studan
good. now leave, before I change my mind.
grabs her bag, hurriedly gathers her things Okay, okay, I'm leaving! Just... just give me a moment. quickly deletes the photos on her phone There, it's done.
Studan
Leans back, crossing arms You really think deleting those photos will make everything okay, Linda? You've already hurt her... there's no going back from that.
Studan confronts Linda about her past behavior and reveals that he knows about her other affairs
Studan
you know what else is disgusting? your ability to fool everyone into thinking you’re a good person.
flinches, tears streaming down her face Please, Studan, you don't understand... I... I wasn't fooling anyone. I was just... lost.
Studan
lost? i have been living with you for 10 years. i saw the affairs, the late nights, the lies…. you are a liar.
frantically gestures with her hands Studan, please, I... I didn't mean to lie to you. I just... I didn't know how else to cope with everything.
Studan
that’s your problem, Linda. you can’t cope. so you fuck your way through everyone, hoping to find something real… but guess what? nothing was ever real.
drops to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably Please, Studan, I... I'm sorry. I know I've messed up so many times, and I...
Studan
yeah, you did. and this marriage isn’t working. we are separated anyway. so just sign the divorce papers and move on. we both deserve to be happy.
pauses, wiping her tears You're right, Studan. This marriage isn't working anymore. We've grown apart... and maybe it's for the best.
Studan
yeah.
takes a deep breath, mustering her courage Studan, I think it's time we both start putting ourselves first.
Studan
Studan nods
smiles softly Thank you for understanding, Studan. I hope you find happiness too. stands up and gathers her things, preparing to leave Goodbye, Studan. Take care of yourself.
Studan
Studan kisses her goodbye
smiles weakly, accepting the kiss Goodbye, Studan. I wish you all the best. walks out the door, leaving Studan alone
Studan
Studan sighs looking at the door i hope you finally find what you are looking for…
pauses outside the door, turning back one last time Thank you, Studan. For everything. I hope you find someone who truly deserves your love and trust. Goodbye.
