Perfectly Good Moment (2023) Movie Script
1
[indistinct chatter]
I only come to these things
for the food too.
Hello, I'm David.
Ruby.
Tell me Ruby, how is networking
going with the crudits?
Well,
the crackers are rather dry,
and the goat cheese
has such a salty personality.
What is it
you're looking for
out of tonight's event?
Oh.
Um, I don't really know.
I actually already
have a summer internship
with a tech startup.
Oh.
What about you?
What do you hope
to find tonight?
Well, obviously, I'm only here
for the free dinner.
You know, Mark Twain
once said that while
the rest of the species
descended from ape
redhead is descended from cat.
Um.
If we're sharing quotes
I've always liked, life
is not a problem to be solved,
but a reality to be experienced.
[eerie music]
[dreamy harp music]
[David] I loved that trip.
[Ruby] Where was that again?
[David] That was when I took you
to London.
My cousin Sophie's wedding
to that dolt of a man.
It was the first British wedding
you'd ever gone to.
And you were all excited
because you got to wear
one of those silly little hats.
Fascinators.
Yes, fascinators.
I meant what garden was that?
Oh, I took that picture of you
at Hampton Court.
I believe it was the
Kitchen Garden.
As I recall, we did have... fun
under a specific archway.
Fun, until that guard
almost caught us.
Getting arrested for
public indecency
in a foreign country
would have been awful.
But it is my country,
and I would have protected you.
They would have just
given us a fine,
and we would have been
on our way.
I'm just glad Angela let me take
so much time off work,
especially since I just started
and we were so busy
with a new launch.
Ruby, do you know how
beautiful you are?
And how happy I am
you came back?
I couldn't stay away.
[heavy breathing]
It's really good to be
with you again.
I missed that.
I missed that, too.
It was so hard falling asleep
without you here.
I love getting to
hold you at night.
I'm such a bad sleeper
without you.
I'm so happy you're mine.
Always.
I love you.
I love you, darling.
You should wear your
hair back more, you know?
I don't like it when it covers
your eyes, they're so pretty.
I meant that as a compliment.
I know you did.
You know I wouldn't compliment
you if it weren't true.
Of-of course.
You know you're gorgeous, right?
I-I guess.
[chuckles] You guess.
Well, that's not good enough.
I wanna hear you admit it.
- Admit that you're gorgeous.
- Oh come on, David.
No, don't come on, David me.
I wanna hear you admit it.
Say I'm gorgeous.
- Say I'm gorgeous.
- Ok, I'm gorgeous. Happy?
Yeah you are.
Just don't go getting a
big head about it now.
[footsteps departing]
A full bodied red,
after a full body work out.
You know,
if I hadn't already given it up,
I could really go
for a cigarette about now.
I waited to drink any of these
until you came home.
We don't need to let it sit?
No.
Not tonight.
To us.
[sniffing]
Mmm.
What are you thinking
for dinner?
I know this wine deserves
something better,
but I'm thinking pizza.
Sound good?
Pizza's good.
I'm just going to order
from that place
on Prince.
You know, the one
that puts exactly
one basil leaf on each slice.
I just love the red
pepper infused olive oil
they drizzle over their pizzas.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
No?
You seem a little...
What do you mean?
Not all here.
Wh-where else would I be?
You'd tell me this time
if something was up, right?
Of course.
There's nothing to worry about.
Good.
I'm not a mind reader.
[wine glass shatters]
They will light
my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
At least that wasn't
the fancy wine.
Th-the '93.
Wouldn't want to spill that.
[giggles]
What?
- Wh-what did I...
- Watch yourself!
I-I just said...
[sighs]
I didn't mean to snap
like that, darling.
You know I don't like it
when you make fun of me.
I didn't mean to. I never
- want to make you feel bad.
- No, no I know I know.
But sometimes,
you take things too far.
I know you didn't mean
anything by it.
- Right, love?
- Of course not, but
sometimes I feel like I
say something silly and then...
I'll be right back.
Um, just need to check
something in the bedroom.
[static]
[eerie music]
[static]
[music intensifies]
Everything okay?
Oh.
Yeah.
Did you do what you needed?
I did.
You gonna tell me what it was?
It's a surprise. For later.
You know how much I love
a good surprise.
Oh, I know.
This one's gonna be big.
Can I guess what
the surprise is?
You could try.
Does it involve
some sort of uh...
Oh, a sexy new outfit
you're gonna wear?
Like that cat costume
you surprised me with the
first year we were together.
That was the first time
you ever slept over.
Knowing you were all mine.
You were so young
and inexperienced,
trying to seem so seductive
in that outfit.
And God,
you made me feel so alive.
Is it some sort of
sex toy prototype
you created at that fancy
little tech job of yours?
I don't make sex toys.
I design
augmented user experiences.
Oh, come on, give me a clue.
I hate guessing.
I can't wait any longer.
Give me a hint.
You are such a little tease.
I don't really think I am.
Do you want me again?
[spits]
I want you.
[moaning]
We should take it easy.
You don't want to have
another one of your blackouts.
[moans]
[wine glass slides]
No.
I can't drink anymore.
Work has been
really busy lately.
I don't think you realize
how stressful
financial advising is.
I've got to be up early.
Client meetings,
quarterly reports.
They're all so grueling.
[sniffs]
Mm.
I just know I'm gonna
be hungover tomorrow.
Unlike you, I'm not
still in my twenties.
You don't look any older
than the day we met.
I do. I look older.
[scoffs] No you don't.
You look the same.
Am I still as handsome
as the day we met?
Even more so.
Sometimes,
I look at you and I wonder
if you think I'm an old man.
I worry that I'm boring.
You could never bore me.
You mean it?
Of course.
I'm old enough
to be your father.
You're 20 years
younger than my dad.
Do you need me?
You know I do.
I want to hear you say it.
Say you need me.
I need you.
Do you know how
badly I want you?
How much just looking at you
drives me wild?
You know,
sometimes when you're sleeping,
and I see how tiny you are,
and I know you need me,
and I just feel so
protective.
Do you know how sad I was
when you left?
Why would you leave me
like that?
I thought you were done
with trying to leave.
I thought you had
turned a page.
And the last few months
have been so hard on me.
I was such a wreck.
I was worried about you
all the time.
Where you were,
who you were with,
if you were seeing anyone else.
You gave me such pain.
And that's definitely what
caused these stress
blackouts I've been having.
They've just been awful.
And it's all because
you made that terrible
mistake in leaving me.
Clearly, the last few months
have been just as bad for you.
When you,
when you came back,
you were a mess.
You couldn't do it without me,
right?
Right.
I mean, where were
you even staying?
I just stayed at the office,
nobody knew.
No wonder I could never
catch you leaving work.
That must have been
just awful for you.
When you had a warm bed here,
- waiting for you.
- It was pretty terrible.
You couldn't even
call your parents.
Those wretched people.
Tell me you couldn't
do it without me.
I couldn't do it without you.
No one else could
give you what I do.
No one else can make me feel
the way you do.
No one can make me feel
the way you do.
I knew you'd come back.
I knew you were reading all
my messages and emails.
I knew they'd work.
I read them all.
Every last word you wrote.
Weren't they romantic?
The most.
Good.
Because we're meant
for each other.
[heavy breathing]
You never did
give me that surprise.
I didn't say it was for today.
If you tell me now,
I'll still act surprised.
Just be patient.
Is there anything on your mind?
Should there be?
No.
I'm just wondering
if there's anything
you want to talk about?
About us, maybe?
What about us?
I don't know.
About how things were
before, maybe?
Before I came back.
Is there something
you want me to say?
No.
I-I-I'm just wondering
- if there's anything...
- Don't start with me, Ruby.
You know, I hate games.
I'm not a mind reader.
If there's something
you're trying
to get me to say or admit to,
just tell me.
Don't ruin a
perfectly good moment
with any of this coy...
bullshit.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I must just be really tired.
[elevator humming]
[sighs]
[elevator dings]
[David] You're home early!
Come through to the kitchen.
I've got a surprise for you.
[bag rustling]
Look at the vintage.
1993?
It's my favorite year.
You know, they always say wines
from the odd years are better.
But '93 was a tough year
for some of the noble grapes.
Collectors mostly
scooped up the burgundies,
and so the bordeaus are rarer.
And more worth it.
But, you know why
I really love 1993?
It's the year that gave me you.
Not that I knew you in '93.
Of course, of course not.
I was just a 15-year-old boy
in Surrey, getting up
to all the usual mischief.
And you were
an adorable little baby.
But it's the year
that brought you into the world
and, I think,
set you on a path
to being with me.
Um... I-I don't know
what to say.
Isn't it wonderful?
I bought a whole case.
You do not want
to know how much it cost.
You have to let it sit.
[scoffs]
Oh come on, your arm is fine.
You shouldn't have reached out
like that.
I would have handed you
the glass,
when it was ready to drink.
I have such a wonderful night
planned for us.
Don't ruin it already.
I'm all good.
Good.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Now,
while we wait for the wine
to decant,
come through
to the sitting room.
I've got another surprise
for you.
I loved
getting to take you to London.
It was so cute how you didn't
know any of the sights.
And I got to be your guide.
I-I mean, I'd been to London
before.
I'd seen some of the sights,
just not in a while.
You had seen all the
touristy places.
Not the real London.
I showed you that.
Remember the first night
we went out?
You thought Spoons
looked so nice.
Without me, you would have drank
in all the wrong places.
It wasn't just tourists
at Spoons.
My family was so shocked
when I brought such a young girl
to Sophie's wedding.
You could have told them
you were bringing me.
No, I didn't want to.
I wanted to see their faces.
You looked so pretty
in your dress.
Always fussing with
that fascinator.
You never could remember
the name.
You kept calling it
that silly little hat.
Now the wine is ready to drink.
[bag rustling]
Do you know why I have
so many surprises for you?
No.
Why do you have
so many surprises for me?
I'm glad you asked.
Do you remember
what happened on this day
exactly eight years ago?
Um...
Eight years ago, I was
a sophomore at Columbia.
Which is the year that we met.
Is today the anniversary of
when we first met?
Exactly.
Let us toast to that night
eight years ago.
[David sniffing]
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Do you remember
what happened that night?
Of course, um...
[David] I spotted you,
and I knew then and there,
you were gonna be special to me.
[Ruby] What do you mean?
[David] I just had a sense that
you were gonna be... important.
Do you remember what I said
when I first approached?
I said.
I said.
Hmm.
[whistling]
I only come to these things
for the food too.
Then I asked you
if you wanted a drink,
but you were only 19,
and afraid of getting caught.
So I snuck you
gin and tonics all night
because they look
like club sodas.
Drinking laws in America
are so silly.
Gin did not taste anything
like I expected it to.
No.
You scrunched up
your little nose every time
you took a sip.
But you wanted to seem
so mature,
so you just kept on drinking.
You like gin now though.
I taught you how to drink.
[Ruby] I mean, it's
still not my favorite.
I never said
it had to be your favorite.
Ruby.
I do not want to fight tonight.
I have so many great things
I want to talk to you about.
I don't want to fight either.
Good.
I have great news.
I have found
the perfect venue
for our wedding.
- Oh.
- It's absolutely wonderful.
And I know you're going
to love it as much as I do.
But, of course you will.
It's in London.
Of course that's no problem,
all my family's there.
And I think it's best
that we get married in England.
I know that sounds like
a lot of travel for your family,
but really,
when was the last time
you even spoke to any of them?
They haven't been there for you
the way I have.
I've already contacted
the venue.
Luckily for us,
there was a recent cancellation
and I managed to book
our wedding for the 5th of June.
Oh, um... that's... um...
- that's only a few months away.
- Exactly.
It is the perfect time
to get married.
And it is the perfect time
to have a baby.
And if we get pregnant
on our honeymoon,
Paris, of course,
then the baby will be
born in March.
In like a lion, as they say.
God, just think,
a year from now, we'll have
a perfect little baby.
Little Emily. Do you like that?
I like that.
I've never met an Emily
I didn't like.
I've always wanted a daughter,
there is so much about the world
I can teach her.
[sniffs]
You know,
after you get pregnant,
you're gonna want to
stop working.
Um... What?
Well,
we've already talked about that.
We have more than enough money
as it is.
You're always saying how busy
you are at work,
and you'll want to
stay home
and look after the children.
I think we'll have 2
before you're 30.
Your boss will understand.
And quite frankly,
I'm surprised
she's still working at her age.
Women leave jobs
all the time to raise families.
Far more important than those
silly little
virtual games you make.
They're not games.
Enjoy it now.
There'll be nine months soon
when you can't drink.
Mm.
I have found the perfect song
for our wedding dance.
[Ben Folds' The Luckiest
plays over record player]
I don't get
Many things right
the first time
In fact
I am told that a lot
Now I know
all the wrong turns
The stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I
before the day
That I first saw
your lovely face?
Now I see it every day
And I know
That I am
I am
I am the luckiest
What if I'd been born
50 years before you
In a house, on a street
where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside
As you passed on your bike
Would I know?
[phone buzzes]
Did you need to go that?
No. No, it was just Angela.
It was really busy at the office
today.
We're having some trouble with
the patent for a belt
I helped program.
Wait.
Work was really busy today,
and yet you came home
earlier than usual?
Right. Um...
I... I actually had a
last minute
doctor's appointment to go to,
so I just
went to that
and then I figured I'd work
from home the rest of the day.
What kind of doctor's
appointment?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's,
everything's fine.
I was just seeing
my gynecologist.
Why were you seeing
your gynecologist?
You're not trying to go back on
birth control, are you?
No. No, I... um...
was just making sure I'm
in good shape to get pregnant.
Of course you are.
You're in wonderful shape.
Why would you be worried
about that?
I didn't know if my sometimes
irregular periods
meant something could be wrong.
And?
She said everything's fine.
Do you want me to call her?
Sometimes these doctors
don't tell women everything,
but they'll tell me.
No.
I... I trust her.
Everything's good.
Good.
That's what I wanted to hear.
I wish you'd told me.
I would have liked
to have come with you.
I know.
But it was such
a last minute appointment.
And I didn't want to bother you
when you were busy at work.
Promise me
you'll call me next time.
I promise.
Good girl.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Oh God, these are gonna get
so much bigger.
Not that they aren't
perfect already,
how well they can fit
in my mouth. Mmm.
Mmm.
This is gonna get
so much bigger too.
But don't you worry,
we'll make sure we lose
that baby weight right away.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
You know, we won't be able
to act like this
when a baby comes along.
Why would you say that?
We were having a moment.
Why would you go and ruin it?
I didn't mean anything,
I was just saying...
Just saying what?
Are you questioning how I'll be
as a father?
No. No I... I wasn't, I was...
I hate it when you do that.
When you take a perfectly
good moment and ruin it.
You know, sometimes you can be
really, really childish.
- David, stop.
- What do I expect?
Compared to me,
you are still a child.
David, Please.
I'm not the one
who caused a scene, Ruby.
- David, please.
- Please, what?
[breathing shakily]
I'm sorry, I...
I didn't mean to snap
like that, love.
It's just,
sometimes you make me so angry.
You know?
You know how much I love
you though, right?
You just
don't always know when to stop.
You don't always think
before you say things.
And that really,
really hurts me, darling.
You need to be more thoughtful
about the way you speak to me,
okay?
I forgive you.
Now give me a kiss.
There. We're all better now.
You will make
such a good little wifey.
[bag rustling]
You ungrateful little bitch.
You didn't go to
the doctor today, did you?
This is why you came home early.
So you could pack up all
your things and leave me.
You've done this before, Ruby.
Don't you remember?
The last time you tried to leave
or the time before that,
you couldn't do it without me.
You had nowhere to go.
- Where will you go this time?
- David, don't do this.
Why do you keep playing
this fucking games?
[grunts]
What's your plan, love?
Who's going to help you?
Who do you have?
You don't have anybody.
You need me!
Why do you keep
doing this to me?
Argh!
Fuck you.
[door slams]
Fuck you, too!
Argh!
You'll be back!
I know you will.
You always come back.
You have nothing without me!
You bitch!
[whimpering]
[crying]
[whirring]
[elevator dings]
[sighs]
[elevator humming]
[elevator dings]
You're back.
I was so afraid this time
you wouldn't come back.
That was the longest
you've ever been gone.
I couldn't stay away.
Darling, I missed you so much.
- I missed you, too.
- Don't you ever leave me again.
Never.
When you tried to take out
that restraining order,
I was so hurt.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
That was a very silly idea.
You're still wearing it.
You still want
to get married, right?
Of course I do.
I'm sorry if we lost the venue.
Don't worry.
I'll call them tomorrow,
and sort everything out.
I'm just so happy you're back.
We should do something fun
today to celebrate.
I-I'd love that.
- Anything you have in mind?
- Anything you want.
Oh, wait. I can't.
Oh.
I've got meetings all day,
I can't reschedule.
Oh, that's... that's okay.
I have to go and shower.
Don't go anywhere.
Of course not.
Why don't you make me a coffee?
You know how I like it.
Okay.
[shower handles turning]
[shower running]
You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
No I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time
you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
Oh you made me glad
But there were times, baby
Haha, you little devil
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
I want some love that's true
Yes I do
Deed I do, you know I do
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
What I cry for
You know you got the
kind of kisses
That I'd die for
[sniffing]
Perfect.
I wish I had known
you were coming back today.
I would have taken
the day off work.
I'll still be here
when you get back.
Mmm.
You promise?
Cross my heart.
I was such a mess without you.
I kept having these little...
blackout, panic attacks.
It was just awful.
That sounds terrible.
I'm, I'm so sorry.
I'm here for you now.
I know you are.
See you tonight?
Uh...
When you get back from work,
let's do something romantic.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Something sexy.
I was thinking some
sort of candlelit dinner...
Well, I was thinking
maybe some sort of...
Mm-hmm? Whoa. [giggles]
You okay? [giggles]
[elevator dings]
David?
- Whoa...
- Ruby.
Are... are you... are you...
Whoa, wh-wh-whoa.
[groans]
Um... Are you...
[groans]
There were times, baby
Haha, you little devil
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
I want some
love that's true
Yes I do, deed I do,
you know I do
[high pitched ringing]
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
- What I cry for
- [high pitched ringing]
You know you got the kind
of kisses that I'd die for
[high pitched ringing]
You know you made me
love you
[Ruby] Hey.
Yeah, I've set up cameras
around the apartment,
so you should be
getting a feed now.
Yeah, he's still
passed out cold.
I think we have a few hours
until he's up.
Okay, do you want to go ahead
and boot up the environment
just to make sure it's
good to go?
Yeah, sounds good to me.
Now... we wait. [sighs]
[Ruby] You're up.
You must have had
one of your blackouts.
You've been out for a while.
[David] They don't usually
last this long.
Are you feeling okay?
If you were out any longer,
I was gonna
- call an ambulance.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Must have just got overwhelmed.
I messaged your office
you weren't feeling well.
Right.
Yeah. Thank you.
I'm just going to splash some
water on my face.
[static crackling]
[David] I loved that trip.
[Ruby] Where was that again?
[David] That was when I took you
to London.
My cousin Sophie's wedding.
To that dolt of a man.
It was the first British wedding
you had ever gone to.
And you were all excited cause
you got to wear one of those
silly little hats.
Fascinators.
Yes, fascinators.
[Ruby] I meant what
garden was that?
[David] Oh.
I took that picture of you
at Hampton Court.
I believe it was the Kitchen
Garden.
As I recall,
we did have fun,
under a specific archway.
[Ruby] Fun, until that guard
almost caught us.
Getting arrested
for public indecency
in a foreign country
would have been awful.
But it is my country,
and I would have protected you.
They would have just
given us a fine
and we would have been
on our way.
I'm just glad Angela let
me take so much time off work.
Especially since I had
just started
and we were so busy
with a new launch.
Ruby, do you know how
beautiful you are?
And how happy I am
you came back?
I couldn't stay away.
[heavy breathing]
Oh, yeah.
You are so... good at this.
[heavy breathing]
[bed rustling]
[heavy breathing]
Oh, you are so tight.
Tell me I'm great.
Tell me I'm the best
you've ever... had.
Tell me I'm huge.
Tell me my cock is... massive.
You have the biggest cock.
[climaxes]
Oh you get me so hard.
[panting]
A full bodied red,
after a full body workout.
You know,
if I hadn't already given it up,
I could really go for a
cigarette about now.
I waited to drink any of these
until you came back.
We don't have to let it sit?
No, not tonight.
To us.
[sniffing]
Mmm.
What are you thinking
for dinner?
I know this wine deserves
something better,
but I'm thinking pizza.
Sound good?
Pizza's good.
I'm just going to order
from that place
on Prince.
You know, the one
that puts exactly
one basil leaf on each slice.
I just love the red pepper
infused olive oil
they drizzle over their pizzas.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
No? You seem a little...
What do you mean?
Not all here.
Where else would I be?
[wine pouring]
[David] I didn't mean to snap
like that, darling.
You know I don't like it
when you make fun of me.
I didn't mean to.
I never wanna make you
- feel bad.
- I know, I know.
Sometimes you take things
a little too far.
I know you didn't mean
anything by it.
Right, love?
Of course not.
But sometimes I feel like I say
something silly and then...
Uh.
I'll be right back. Uh,
just need to check something
in the bedroom.
[suspenseful music]
[static]
[music intensifies]
Everything okay?
Um,
yeah.
Did you do what you needed?
I did.
You gonna tell me what it was?
It's a surprise. For later.
You never did give
me that surprise.
I didn't say it was for today.
If you tell me now,
I'll still act surprised.
Just be patient.
Is there anything on your mind?
Should there be?
I don't know, I'm just...
wondering if there's anything
you wanna talk about.
What about?
I don't know, um...
about us, maybe.
What about us?
I don't know.
About how things were... before,
maybe.
Before I came back.
Is there something
you want me to say?
No.
I'm just wondering if
there's anything...
Don't start with me, Ruby.
You know I hate games,
I'm not a mind reader.
If there's something
you're trying to get me to say
or admit to, just tell me.
Don't ruin a
perfectly good moment,
with any of this coy bullshit.
You're right.
I'm sorry. I must just be
really tired.
[phone ringing]
Hey, um,
I haven't left yet. But...
[sighs]
There's something else
I need to do. Do you...
do you mind if we wait
till morning?
I-I don't want to wake him up.
Okay, great. Um...
Get some rest yourself.
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
Hey.
Hey.
What's wrong?
I need to talk to you.
Okay.
There's something
I-I wanna tell you.
Um, I need to tell you,
but I need you to promise
that you won't get mad at me.
I won't get mad, love.
Tell me what's wrong.
You promise?
I do.
Th-the day that I left.
Worst day of my life.
You-you know how I told you
I went to the doctor?
Yeah.
I did actually go to the doctor,
but not to see
if I could get pregnant.
I...
already was pregnant.
What?
I had an abortion.
Say something.
What the fuck
do you want me to say?
You said you wouldn't get mad.
Mad.
I am beyond mad.
How dare you?
Who the fuck do
you think you are?
How could you do that to me?
Please, just calm down.
Don't fucking tell me
what to do.
David let go!
Fuck you!
You're hurting me.
We wanted to have a baby.
We were planning it.
Why would you ruin it?
We were planning it?
No, you were planning it.
You wanted a baby.
You didn't care what I wanted.
Are-are you going to hit me?
- Go ahead. Do it.
- [whimpers]
I would never have your baby.
Stop talking.
Why would I have your baby?
- Stop talking.
- You can't control yourself.
How could I bring a baby
into this world
knowing how you were
going to treat them?
Shut up!
- You're a monster.
- Fuck you!
- It's true.
- Shut the fuck up.
You said you'd stay calm,
but look at what you're doing.
I-I don't...
I don't know why I came back.
What, are you gonna go and
live in the office
like some kind of
homeless person?
I don't know why I thought
this time would be better,
you are never going to change.
I gave you everything.
Everything.
And how do you show
your appreciation?
You murder my child.
You gave me everything?
You took everything.
My friends, my family,
I had no life that wasn't...
No one was there for you
the way I was!
You need help, David.
- [laughing]
- You can't,
you can't even see it.
That's fucking rich
coming from you.
Where do you think you're going?
Anywhere but here.
How dare you.
We wanted to have a family.
Hey. We wanted to have a family.
Why would you ruin everything?
David stop.
Do you realize
how much I love you?
How we're meant for each other?
We are gonna have a family.
You are gonna love me,
the way I love you.
[heavy breathing]
You are gonna love me...
We are gonna have... a family.
[David moaning]
[David grunting]
[electronic audio feedback]
Surprise.
Ruby.
Yes.
Any closer and the cops
are getting called.
What?
Yeah. I hooked you up
to a state-of-the-art
virtual reality simulation.
I... uh designed
that belt you're wearing
at my fancy little tech job.
- It's great, isn't it?
- What the fuck?
Really feels like you're
having sex when it's on.
You know,
I guess in that way, I...
I do make high tech sex toys.
The-the plan was
just to send you
a video of your little solo
sex-fest from earlier, but...
this was...
so much worse.
Thank you for...
for being such a piece of shit.
How could you do this to me?
Do you really not see
how you treated me?
I was the best thing
that ever happened to you.
No.
No, you were the worst.
But... now...
I'm the worst thing
to ever happen to you, too.
Yeah. Let me tell you how
this is all gonna go down.
You are never to text me,
call me, email me,
try to contact me in any way.
If you see me
walking down the street,
you will stop and walk
the other way.
If you don't,
everything that happened
here today,
everything you think
you did was videotaped.
I will not only send
it to your job,
I'll send it to your family,
your clients.
I will release it on
social media,
and if anything happens to me,
a friend of mine was watching.
They have the footage.
They will release it, and you
will be ruined.
Fuck you.
No.
No, you don't get to
do that anymore.
I'll send someone by in
a bit to get my stuff.
If you
destroy any of that equipment
before they get here,
I'll release the footage.
You are such a...
Bitch?
Yeah.
You know, I...
I have wasted so
many years of my life on you,
the least you can do is shut up
for like, five minutes,
but you always do this.
You always go and ruin
a perfectly good moment
because you just
can't shut the fuck up.
I hope
the rest of your life
is really shitty.
[elevator dings]
[triumphant music]
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
I only come to these things
for the food too.
Hello, I'm David.
Ruby.
Tell me Ruby, how is networking
going with the crudits?
Well,
the crackers are rather dry,
and the goat cheese
has such a salty personality.
What is it
you're looking for
out of tonight's event?
Oh.
Um, I don't really know.
I actually already
have a summer internship
with a tech startup.
Oh.
What about you?
What do you hope
to find tonight?
Well, obviously, I'm only here
for the free dinner.
You know, Mark Twain
once said that while
the rest of the species
descended from ape
redhead is descended from cat.
Um.
If we're sharing quotes
I've always liked, life
is not a problem to be solved,
but a reality to be experienced.
[eerie music]
[dreamy harp music]
[David] I loved that trip.
[Ruby] Where was that again?
[David] That was when I took you
to London.
My cousin Sophie's wedding
to that dolt of a man.
It was the first British wedding
you'd ever gone to.
And you were all excited
because you got to wear
one of those silly little hats.
Fascinators.
Yes, fascinators.
I meant what garden was that?
Oh, I took that picture of you
at Hampton Court.
I believe it was the
Kitchen Garden.
As I recall, we did have... fun
under a specific archway.
Fun, until that guard
almost caught us.
Getting arrested for
public indecency
in a foreign country
would have been awful.
But it is my country,
and I would have protected you.
They would have just
given us a fine,
and we would have been
on our way.
I'm just glad Angela let me take
so much time off work,
especially since I just started
and we were so busy
with a new launch.
Ruby, do you know how
beautiful you are?
And how happy I am
you came back?
I couldn't stay away.
[heavy breathing]
It's really good to be
with you again.
I missed that.
I missed that, too.
It was so hard falling asleep
without you here.
I love getting to
hold you at night.
I'm such a bad sleeper
without you.
I'm so happy you're mine.
Always.
I love you.
I love you, darling.
You should wear your
hair back more, you know?
I don't like it when it covers
your eyes, they're so pretty.
I meant that as a compliment.
I know you did.
You know I wouldn't compliment
you if it weren't true.
Of-of course.
You know you're gorgeous, right?
I-I guess.
[chuckles] You guess.
Well, that's not good enough.
I wanna hear you admit it.
- Admit that you're gorgeous.
- Oh come on, David.
No, don't come on, David me.
I wanna hear you admit it.
Say I'm gorgeous.
- Say I'm gorgeous.
- Ok, I'm gorgeous. Happy?
Yeah you are.
Just don't go getting a
big head about it now.
[footsteps departing]
A full bodied red,
after a full body work out.
You know,
if I hadn't already given it up,
I could really go
for a cigarette about now.
I waited to drink any of these
until you came home.
We don't need to let it sit?
No.
Not tonight.
To us.
[sniffing]
Mmm.
What are you thinking
for dinner?
I know this wine deserves
something better,
but I'm thinking pizza.
Sound good?
Pizza's good.
I'm just going to order
from that place
on Prince.
You know, the one
that puts exactly
one basil leaf on each slice.
I just love the red
pepper infused olive oil
they drizzle over their pizzas.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
No?
You seem a little...
What do you mean?
Not all here.
Wh-where else would I be?
You'd tell me this time
if something was up, right?
Of course.
There's nothing to worry about.
Good.
I'm not a mind reader.
[wine glass shatters]
They will light
my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
At least that wasn't
the fancy wine.
Th-the '93.
Wouldn't want to spill that.
[giggles]
What?
- Wh-what did I...
- Watch yourself!
I-I just said...
[sighs]
I didn't mean to snap
like that, darling.
You know I don't like it
when you make fun of me.
I didn't mean to. I never
- want to make you feel bad.
- No, no I know I know.
But sometimes,
you take things too far.
I know you didn't mean
anything by it.
- Right, love?
- Of course not, but
sometimes I feel like I
say something silly and then...
I'll be right back.
Um, just need to check
something in the bedroom.
[static]
[eerie music]
[static]
[music intensifies]
Everything okay?
Oh.
Yeah.
Did you do what you needed?
I did.
You gonna tell me what it was?
It's a surprise. For later.
You know how much I love
a good surprise.
Oh, I know.
This one's gonna be big.
Can I guess what
the surprise is?
You could try.
Does it involve
some sort of uh...
Oh, a sexy new outfit
you're gonna wear?
Like that cat costume
you surprised me with the
first year we were together.
That was the first time
you ever slept over.
Knowing you were all mine.
You were so young
and inexperienced,
trying to seem so seductive
in that outfit.
And God,
you made me feel so alive.
Is it some sort of
sex toy prototype
you created at that fancy
little tech job of yours?
I don't make sex toys.
I design
augmented user experiences.
Oh, come on, give me a clue.
I hate guessing.
I can't wait any longer.
Give me a hint.
You are such a little tease.
I don't really think I am.
Do you want me again?
[spits]
I want you.
[moaning]
We should take it easy.
You don't want to have
another one of your blackouts.
[moans]
[wine glass slides]
No.
I can't drink anymore.
Work has been
really busy lately.
I don't think you realize
how stressful
financial advising is.
I've got to be up early.
Client meetings,
quarterly reports.
They're all so grueling.
[sniffs]
Mm.
I just know I'm gonna
be hungover tomorrow.
Unlike you, I'm not
still in my twenties.
You don't look any older
than the day we met.
I do. I look older.
[scoffs] No you don't.
You look the same.
Am I still as handsome
as the day we met?
Even more so.
Sometimes,
I look at you and I wonder
if you think I'm an old man.
I worry that I'm boring.
You could never bore me.
You mean it?
Of course.
I'm old enough
to be your father.
You're 20 years
younger than my dad.
Do you need me?
You know I do.
I want to hear you say it.
Say you need me.
I need you.
Do you know how
badly I want you?
How much just looking at you
drives me wild?
You know,
sometimes when you're sleeping,
and I see how tiny you are,
and I know you need me,
and I just feel so
protective.
Do you know how sad I was
when you left?
Why would you leave me
like that?
I thought you were done
with trying to leave.
I thought you had
turned a page.
And the last few months
have been so hard on me.
I was such a wreck.
I was worried about you
all the time.
Where you were,
who you were with,
if you were seeing anyone else.
You gave me such pain.
And that's definitely what
caused these stress
blackouts I've been having.
They've just been awful.
And it's all because
you made that terrible
mistake in leaving me.
Clearly, the last few months
have been just as bad for you.
When you,
when you came back,
you were a mess.
You couldn't do it without me,
right?
Right.
I mean, where were
you even staying?
I just stayed at the office,
nobody knew.
No wonder I could never
catch you leaving work.
That must have been
just awful for you.
When you had a warm bed here,
- waiting for you.
- It was pretty terrible.
You couldn't even
call your parents.
Those wretched people.
Tell me you couldn't
do it without me.
I couldn't do it without you.
No one else could
give you what I do.
No one else can make me feel
the way you do.
No one can make me feel
the way you do.
I knew you'd come back.
I knew you were reading all
my messages and emails.
I knew they'd work.
I read them all.
Every last word you wrote.
Weren't they romantic?
The most.
Good.
Because we're meant
for each other.
[heavy breathing]
You never did
give me that surprise.
I didn't say it was for today.
If you tell me now,
I'll still act surprised.
Just be patient.
Is there anything on your mind?
Should there be?
No.
I'm just wondering
if there's anything
you want to talk about?
About us, maybe?
What about us?
I don't know.
About how things were
before, maybe?
Before I came back.
Is there something
you want me to say?
No.
I-I-I'm just wondering
- if there's anything...
- Don't start with me, Ruby.
You know, I hate games.
I'm not a mind reader.
If there's something
you're trying
to get me to say or admit to,
just tell me.
Don't ruin a
perfectly good moment
with any of this coy...
bullshit.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I must just be really tired.
[elevator humming]
[sighs]
[elevator dings]
[David] You're home early!
Come through to the kitchen.
I've got a surprise for you.
[bag rustling]
Look at the vintage.
1993?
It's my favorite year.
You know, they always say wines
from the odd years are better.
But '93 was a tough year
for some of the noble grapes.
Collectors mostly
scooped up the burgundies,
and so the bordeaus are rarer.
And more worth it.
But, you know why
I really love 1993?
It's the year that gave me you.
Not that I knew you in '93.
Of course, of course not.
I was just a 15-year-old boy
in Surrey, getting up
to all the usual mischief.
And you were
an adorable little baby.
But it's the year
that brought you into the world
and, I think,
set you on a path
to being with me.
Um... I-I don't know
what to say.
Isn't it wonderful?
I bought a whole case.
You do not want
to know how much it cost.
You have to let it sit.
[scoffs]
Oh come on, your arm is fine.
You shouldn't have reached out
like that.
I would have handed you
the glass,
when it was ready to drink.
I have such a wonderful night
planned for us.
Don't ruin it already.
I'm all good.
Good.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Now,
while we wait for the wine
to decant,
come through
to the sitting room.
I've got another surprise
for you.
I loved
getting to take you to London.
It was so cute how you didn't
know any of the sights.
And I got to be your guide.
I-I mean, I'd been to London
before.
I'd seen some of the sights,
just not in a while.
You had seen all the
touristy places.
Not the real London.
I showed you that.
Remember the first night
we went out?
You thought Spoons
looked so nice.
Without me, you would have drank
in all the wrong places.
It wasn't just tourists
at Spoons.
My family was so shocked
when I brought such a young girl
to Sophie's wedding.
You could have told them
you were bringing me.
No, I didn't want to.
I wanted to see their faces.
You looked so pretty
in your dress.
Always fussing with
that fascinator.
You never could remember
the name.
You kept calling it
that silly little hat.
Now the wine is ready to drink.
[bag rustling]
Do you know why I have
so many surprises for you?
No.
Why do you have
so many surprises for me?
I'm glad you asked.
Do you remember
what happened on this day
exactly eight years ago?
Um...
Eight years ago, I was
a sophomore at Columbia.
Which is the year that we met.
Is today the anniversary of
when we first met?
Exactly.
Let us toast to that night
eight years ago.
[David sniffing]
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Do you remember
what happened that night?
Of course, um...
[David] I spotted you,
and I knew then and there,
you were gonna be special to me.
[Ruby] What do you mean?
[David] I just had a sense that
you were gonna be... important.
Do you remember what I said
when I first approached?
I said.
I said.
Hmm.
[whistling]
I only come to these things
for the food too.
Then I asked you
if you wanted a drink,
but you were only 19,
and afraid of getting caught.
So I snuck you
gin and tonics all night
because they look
like club sodas.
Drinking laws in America
are so silly.
Gin did not taste anything
like I expected it to.
No.
You scrunched up
your little nose every time
you took a sip.
But you wanted to seem
so mature,
so you just kept on drinking.
You like gin now though.
I taught you how to drink.
[Ruby] I mean, it's
still not my favorite.
I never said
it had to be your favorite.
Ruby.
I do not want to fight tonight.
I have so many great things
I want to talk to you about.
I don't want to fight either.
Good.
I have great news.
I have found
the perfect venue
for our wedding.
- Oh.
- It's absolutely wonderful.
And I know you're going
to love it as much as I do.
But, of course you will.
It's in London.
Of course that's no problem,
all my family's there.
And I think it's best
that we get married in England.
I know that sounds like
a lot of travel for your family,
but really,
when was the last time
you even spoke to any of them?
They haven't been there for you
the way I have.
I've already contacted
the venue.
Luckily for us,
there was a recent cancellation
and I managed to book
our wedding for the 5th of June.
Oh, um... that's... um...
- that's only a few months away.
- Exactly.
It is the perfect time
to get married.
And it is the perfect time
to have a baby.
And if we get pregnant
on our honeymoon,
Paris, of course,
then the baby will be
born in March.
In like a lion, as they say.
God, just think,
a year from now, we'll have
a perfect little baby.
Little Emily. Do you like that?
I like that.
I've never met an Emily
I didn't like.
I've always wanted a daughter,
there is so much about the world
I can teach her.
[sniffs]
You know,
after you get pregnant,
you're gonna want to
stop working.
Um... What?
Well,
we've already talked about that.
We have more than enough money
as it is.
You're always saying how busy
you are at work,
and you'll want to
stay home
and look after the children.
I think we'll have 2
before you're 30.
Your boss will understand.
And quite frankly,
I'm surprised
she's still working at her age.
Women leave jobs
all the time to raise families.
Far more important than those
silly little
virtual games you make.
They're not games.
Enjoy it now.
There'll be nine months soon
when you can't drink.
Mm.
I have found the perfect song
for our wedding dance.
[Ben Folds' The Luckiest
plays over record player]
I don't get
Many things right
the first time
In fact
I am told that a lot
Now I know
all the wrong turns
The stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I
before the day
That I first saw
your lovely face?
Now I see it every day
And I know
That I am
I am
I am the luckiest
What if I'd been born
50 years before you
In a house, on a street
where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside
As you passed on your bike
Would I know?
[phone buzzes]
Did you need to go that?
No. No, it was just Angela.
It was really busy at the office
today.
We're having some trouble with
the patent for a belt
I helped program.
Wait.
Work was really busy today,
and yet you came home
earlier than usual?
Right. Um...
I... I actually had a
last minute
doctor's appointment to go to,
so I just
went to that
and then I figured I'd work
from home the rest of the day.
What kind of doctor's
appointment?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's,
everything's fine.
I was just seeing
my gynecologist.
Why were you seeing
your gynecologist?
You're not trying to go back on
birth control, are you?
No. No, I... um...
was just making sure I'm
in good shape to get pregnant.
Of course you are.
You're in wonderful shape.
Why would you be worried
about that?
I didn't know if my sometimes
irregular periods
meant something could be wrong.
And?
She said everything's fine.
Do you want me to call her?
Sometimes these doctors
don't tell women everything,
but they'll tell me.
No.
I... I trust her.
Everything's good.
Good.
That's what I wanted to hear.
I wish you'd told me.
I would have liked
to have come with you.
I know.
But it was such
a last minute appointment.
And I didn't want to bother you
when you were busy at work.
Promise me
you'll call me next time.
I promise.
Good girl.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Oh God, these are gonna get
so much bigger.
Not that they aren't
perfect already,
how well they can fit
in my mouth. Mmm.
Mmm.
This is gonna get
so much bigger too.
But don't you worry,
we'll make sure we lose
that baby weight right away.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Mmm.
You know, we won't be able
to act like this
when a baby comes along.
Why would you say that?
We were having a moment.
Why would you go and ruin it?
I didn't mean anything,
I was just saying...
Just saying what?
Are you questioning how I'll be
as a father?
No. No I... I wasn't, I was...
I hate it when you do that.
When you take a perfectly
good moment and ruin it.
You know, sometimes you can be
really, really childish.
- David, stop.
- What do I expect?
Compared to me,
you are still a child.
David, Please.
I'm not the one
who caused a scene, Ruby.
- David, please.
- Please, what?
[breathing shakily]
I'm sorry, I...
I didn't mean to snap
like that, love.
It's just,
sometimes you make me so angry.
You know?
You know how much I love
you though, right?
You just
don't always know when to stop.
You don't always think
before you say things.
And that really,
really hurts me, darling.
You need to be more thoughtful
about the way you speak to me,
okay?
I forgive you.
Now give me a kiss.
There. We're all better now.
You will make
such a good little wifey.
[bag rustling]
You ungrateful little bitch.
You didn't go to
the doctor today, did you?
This is why you came home early.
So you could pack up all
your things and leave me.
You've done this before, Ruby.
Don't you remember?
The last time you tried to leave
or the time before that,
you couldn't do it without me.
You had nowhere to go.
- Where will you go this time?
- David, don't do this.
Why do you keep playing
this fucking games?
[grunts]
What's your plan, love?
Who's going to help you?
Who do you have?
You don't have anybody.
You need me!
Why do you keep
doing this to me?
Argh!
Fuck you.
[door slams]
Fuck you, too!
Argh!
You'll be back!
I know you will.
You always come back.
You have nothing without me!
You bitch!
[whimpering]
[crying]
[whirring]
[elevator dings]
[sighs]
[elevator humming]
[elevator dings]
You're back.
I was so afraid this time
you wouldn't come back.
That was the longest
you've ever been gone.
I couldn't stay away.
Darling, I missed you so much.
- I missed you, too.
- Don't you ever leave me again.
Never.
When you tried to take out
that restraining order,
I was so hurt.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
That was a very silly idea.
You're still wearing it.
You still want
to get married, right?
Of course I do.
I'm sorry if we lost the venue.
Don't worry.
I'll call them tomorrow,
and sort everything out.
I'm just so happy you're back.
We should do something fun
today to celebrate.
I-I'd love that.
- Anything you have in mind?
- Anything you want.
Oh, wait. I can't.
Oh.
I've got meetings all day,
I can't reschedule.
Oh, that's... that's okay.
I have to go and shower.
Don't go anywhere.
Of course not.
Why don't you make me a coffee?
You know how I like it.
Okay.
[shower handles turning]
[shower running]
You made me love you
I didn't wanna do it
No I didn't wanna do it
You made me want you
And all the time
you knew it
I guess you always knew it
You made me happy sometimes
Oh you made me glad
But there were times, baby
Haha, you little devil
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
I want some love that's true
Yes I do
Deed I do, you know I do
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
What I cry for
You know you got the
kind of kisses
That I'd die for
[sniffing]
Perfect.
I wish I had known
you were coming back today.
I would have taken
the day off work.
I'll still be here
when you get back.
Mmm.
You promise?
Cross my heart.
I was such a mess without you.
I kept having these little...
blackout, panic attacks.
It was just awful.
That sounds terrible.
I'm, I'm so sorry.
I'm here for you now.
I know you are.
See you tonight?
Uh...
When you get back from work,
let's do something romantic.
Oh, yeah?
Mm-hmm.
Something sexy.
I was thinking some
sort of candlelit dinner...
Well, I was thinking
maybe some sort of...
Mm-hmm? Whoa. [giggles]
You okay? [giggles]
[elevator dings]
David?
- Whoa...
- Ruby.
Are... are you... are you...
Whoa, wh-wh-whoa.
[groans]
Um... Are you...
[groans]
There were times, baby
Haha, you little devil
You made me cry for
I didn't wanna tell ya
I didn't wanna tell ya
I want some
love that's true
Yes I do, deed I do,
you know I do
[high pitched ringing]
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
- What I cry for
- [high pitched ringing]
You know you got the kind
of kisses that I'd die for
[high pitched ringing]
You know you made me
love you
[Ruby] Hey.
Yeah, I've set up cameras
around the apartment,
so you should be
getting a feed now.
Yeah, he's still
passed out cold.
I think we have a few hours
until he's up.
Okay, do you want to go ahead
and boot up the environment
just to make sure it's
good to go?
Yeah, sounds good to me.
Now... we wait. [sighs]
[Ruby] You're up.
You must have had
one of your blackouts.
You've been out for a while.
[David] They don't usually
last this long.
Are you feeling okay?
If you were out any longer,
I was gonna
- call an ambulance.
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
Must have just got overwhelmed.
I messaged your office
you weren't feeling well.
Right.
Yeah. Thank you.
I'm just going to splash some
water on my face.
[static crackling]
[David] I loved that trip.
[Ruby] Where was that again?
[David] That was when I took you
to London.
My cousin Sophie's wedding.
To that dolt of a man.
It was the first British wedding
you had ever gone to.
And you were all excited cause
you got to wear one of those
silly little hats.
Fascinators.
Yes, fascinators.
[Ruby] I meant what
garden was that?
[David] Oh.
I took that picture of you
at Hampton Court.
I believe it was the Kitchen
Garden.
As I recall,
we did have fun,
under a specific archway.
[Ruby] Fun, until that guard
almost caught us.
Getting arrested
for public indecency
in a foreign country
would have been awful.
But it is my country,
and I would have protected you.
They would have just
given us a fine
and we would have been
on our way.
I'm just glad Angela let
me take so much time off work.
Especially since I had
just started
and we were so busy
with a new launch.
Ruby, do you know how
beautiful you are?
And how happy I am
you came back?
I couldn't stay away.
[heavy breathing]
Oh, yeah.
You are so... good at this.
[heavy breathing]
[bed rustling]
[heavy breathing]
Oh, you are so tight.
Tell me I'm great.
Tell me I'm the best
you've ever... had.
Tell me I'm huge.
Tell me my cock is... massive.
You have the biggest cock.
[climaxes]
Oh you get me so hard.
[panting]
A full bodied red,
after a full body workout.
You know,
if I hadn't already given it up,
I could really go for a
cigarette about now.
I waited to drink any of these
until you came back.
We don't have to let it sit?
No, not tonight.
To us.
[sniffing]
Mmm.
What are you thinking
for dinner?
I know this wine deserves
something better,
but I'm thinking pizza.
Sound good?
Pizza's good.
I'm just going to order
from that place
on Prince.
You know, the one
that puts exactly
one basil leaf on each slice.
I just love the red pepper
infused olive oil
they drizzle over their pizzas.
What's on your mind?
Nothing.
No? You seem a little...
What do you mean?
Not all here.
Where else would I be?
[wine pouring]
[David] I didn't mean to snap
like that, darling.
You know I don't like it
when you make fun of me.
I didn't mean to.
I never wanna make you
- feel bad.
- I know, I know.
Sometimes you take things
a little too far.
I know you didn't mean
anything by it.
Right, love?
Of course not.
But sometimes I feel like I say
something silly and then...
Uh.
I'll be right back. Uh,
just need to check something
in the bedroom.
[suspenseful music]
[static]
[music intensifies]
Everything okay?
Um,
yeah.
Did you do what you needed?
I did.
You gonna tell me what it was?
It's a surprise. For later.
You never did give
me that surprise.
I didn't say it was for today.
If you tell me now,
I'll still act surprised.
Just be patient.
Is there anything on your mind?
Should there be?
I don't know, I'm just...
wondering if there's anything
you wanna talk about.
What about?
I don't know, um...
about us, maybe.
What about us?
I don't know.
About how things were... before,
maybe.
Before I came back.
Is there something
you want me to say?
No.
I'm just wondering if
there's anything...
Don't start with me, Ruby.
You know I hate games,
I'm not a mind reader.
If there's something
you're trying to get me to say
or admit to, just tell me.
Don't ruin a
perfectly good moment,
with any of this coy bullshit.
You're right.
I'm sorry. I must just be
really tired.
[phone ringing]
Hey, um,
I haven't left yet. But...
[sighs]
There's something else
I need to do. Do you...
do you mind if we wait
till morning?
I-I don't want to wake him up.
Okay, great. Um...
Get some rest yourself.
[inhales sharply]
[sighs]
Hey.
Hey.
What's wrong?
I need to talk to you.
Okay.
There's something
I-I wanna tell you.
Um, I need to tell you,
but I need you to promise
that you won't get mad at me.
I won't get mad, love.
Tell me what's wrong.
You promise?
I do.
Th-the day that I left.
Worst day of my life.
You-you know how I told you
I went to the doctor?
Yeah.
I did actually go to the doctor,
but not to see
if I could get pregnant.
I...
already was pregnant.
What?
I had an abortion.
Say something.
What the fuck
do you want me to say?
You said you wouldn't get mad.
Mad.
I am beyond mad.
How dare you?
Who the fuck do
you think you are?
How could you do that to me?
Please, just calm down.
Don't fucking tell me
what to do.
David let go!
Fuck you!
You're hurting me.
We wanted to have a baby.
We were planning it.
Why would you ruin it?
We were planning it?
No, you were planning it.
You wanted a baby.
You didn't care what I wanted.
Are-are you going to hit me?
- Go ahead. Do it.
- [whimpers]
I would never have your baby.
Stop talking.
Why would I have your baby?
- Stop talking.
- You can't control yourself.
How could I bring a baby
into this world
knowing how you were
going to treat them?
Shut up!
- You're a monster.
- Fuck you!
- It's true.
- Shut the fuck up.
You said you'd stay calm,
but look at what you're doing.
I-I don't...
I don't know why I came back.
What, are you gonna go and
live in the office
like some kind of
homeless person?
I don't know why I thought
this time would be better,
you are never going to change.
I gave you everything.
Everything.
And how do you show
your appreciation?
You murder my child.
You gave me everything?
You took everything.
My friends, my family,
I had no life that wasn't...
No one was there for you
the way I was!
You need help, David.
- [laughing]
- You can't,
you can't even see it.
That's fucking rich
coming from you.
Where do you think you're going?
Anywhere but here.
How dare you.
We wanted to have a family.
Hey. We wanted to have a family.
Why would you ruin everything?
David stop.
Do you realize
how much I love you?
How we're meant for each other?
We are gonna have a family.
You are gonna love me,
the way I love you.
[heavy breathing]
You are gonna love me...
We are gonna have... a family.
[David moaning]
[David grunting]
[electronic audio feedback]
Surprise.
Ruby.
Yes.
Any closer and the cops
are getting called.
What?
Yeah. I hooked you up
to a state-of-the-art
virtual reality simulation.
I... uh designed
that belt you're wearing
at my fancy little tech job.
- It's great, isn't it?
- What the fuck?
Really feels like you're
having sex when it's on.
You know,
I guess in that way, I...
I do make high tech sex toys.
The-the plan was
just to send you
a video of your little solo
sex-fest from earlier, but...
this was...
so much worse.
Thank you for...
for being such a piece of shit.
How could you do this to me?
Do you really not see
how you treated me?
I was the best thing
that ever happened to you.
No.
No, you were the worst.
But... now...
I'm the worst thing
to ever happen to you, too.
Yeah. Let me tell you how
this is all gonna go down.
You are never to text me,
call me, email me,
try to contact me in any way.
If you see me
walking down the street,
you will stop and walk
the other way.
If you don't,
everything that happened
here today,
everything you think
you did was videotaped.
I will not only send
it to your job,
I'll send it to your family,
your clients.
I will release it on
social media,
and if anything happens to me,
a friend of mine was watching.
They have the footage.
They will release it, and you
will be ruined.
Fuck you.
No.
No, you don't get to
do that anymore.
I'll send someone by in
a bit to get my stuff.
If you
destroy any of that equipment
before they get here,
I'll release the footage.
You are such a...
Bitch?
Yeah.
You know, I...
I have wasted so
many years of my life on you,
the least you can do is shut up
for like, five minutes,
but you always do this.
You always go and ruin
a perfectly good moment
because you just
can't shut the fuck up.
I hope
the rest of your life
is really shitty.
