He has nothing to say to her.
He has nothing to say to you.
He has nothing to say to me? What is there to say? What is there to say? Ashe shouldn't be talking to anybody now.
She shouldn't be talking at all.
She should look inside her soul For some answers to very sticky questions About the definition of marriage And propriety and the consequences of actions And the ramifications thereof.
Answers to all kinds of stuff.
And 2 and deux In a larger sense What kind of person is she? What kind of person is she? Who is this woman that i thought i knew, Who has made a mockery of everything that i held sacred? And when we made our sacred marriage vows For better or for worse, For sickness or for poorer I don't recall anybody making mention Of the bride kissing douglas berkus.
About the bride kissing this clown berkus.
And i'll tell you, The nerve, the unmitigated gall Of her tearing apart this union Out of personal weakness Leaves any thinking, feeling human being With a pit in their stomach.
And tell her i want my dog back.
Tell him people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, That none of us is perfect, And until he's walked a mile in my shoes, he has not walked.
Boy, are you in trouble.
And tell him if he stops by the apartment to water the plants.
And also i left a frozen chicken on the counter.
If he wants to pick up murray, He can come by my office and get him tomorrow Before his job interview.
And tell him goodbye.
Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Just tell her goodbye.
Goodbye.
Hey.
Look who's late instead of me.

Doug Really, i'mi'm very embarrassed about this, but Please know that this will never, ever happen again.
No, i know.
I'm really awfully fond of you, jamie.
I know that.
And maybe in another life, um [Ding.]
If i thought we couldn't be friends, I would really hate that.
Maybe we could pretend this never happened I already told paul.
What? I told paul about it.
Why? Because i did.
Oh, great.
The stairs are faster.

No, he doesn't.

Hi, paul.
I'm jane pauley's assistant.
Hi.
I see you brought a little friend along.
I had a scheduling conflict.
I don't usually bring a dog to an interview, Especially a job that i really want.
I'm very excited about this job.
there's no dog.
I'm entirely dogless throughout the interview, Not even, like, a puppy.
Mr.
Buchman, i think your dog Ooh.
Ooh.
I begged you to go before we got here.
I don't know why you do this to me.
Why maury povich? What, are you kidding me? You know how to do this? What are you waiting for? [Singing.]
Come on.
Right on the carpet? Right between date and line.
You ain't going to get that job.
What did we have in that last bar? The sports bar? No.
Before that.
Yes.
The strip club? It was a mai tai.
Ow.
That was the big mistake.
Best thing for that cold beer and some karaoke.
This guy's sleeping on my couch Watching flipper in his underwear and crying.
Excuse me for having emotions.
You guys ever have a marriage that fell to crap? Yes.
Yeah.
All right, then.
So shut up.
What would you like us to do to make you feel better? I would really like to punch somebody.
Whoberkus? For starters, yeah.
You should have.
Want to hit me? Why? What did you do? Nothing.
It's just a release.
You'll feel better.
You would let me hit you? Sure.
If it helps you.
Thank you.
You want to? Nah.
Maybe later.
Come on, now.
Do it now.
Really? Yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Come on.
That's not a hit.
Paulie, that's not a hit.
Ow! That's a hit.
There you go.
Me, me.
What about me? Yeah! O.
K.
, there.
Now Now we feel better? Not one ounce.
I want to be like jamie.
I'd like to kiss somebody.
Want to kiss me? You would let me kiss you? Sure.
I don't want to kiss you.
You'll feel better.
That has zero appeal to me.
I understand.
Maybe later? Maybe later.
O.
K.
Right there.
That's a perfect example of somebody That i would like to kiss.
So go ahead.
You'd let me? Sure.
If it'll help you.
You're so good to me.
Well, you know, i hate to nitpick, But kissing somebody wouldn't make you even.
Why not? Because james didn't kiss somebody.
Somebody kissed her.
The man has a point.
Technically, somebody would have to kiss you.
Then i could take half an hour to push them away, Pretend i didn't enjoy it.
Hey, come on.
Let's be fair to jamie.
This was a one-Time thing, an isolated incident.
It was a momentary lapse of judgment, of weakness.
It's not a capital crime.
In europe, this happens all the time.
Mm-Hmm.
Where? In europe.
Where in europe? Wherever you want italy, france.
You don't think in france this happens every day? Oh.
The french don't care.
It happens all the time.
Every day, every minute.
Bingo.
Just happened.
A guy in marseilles just grabbed another guy's wife Right in the croissant.
Why can't i do that? Because that's not you.
These people are french.
Don't you understand? All right.
What about her? What about her? What if she kissed me out of her own goodwill? You'd be one lucky man.
Here you go.
Here you go, sweetheart.
What is your name? Sandra.
Sandra, do you know it's my birthday today? Oh.
Is it really? Yep.
Well, happy birthday.
So, i took a shot there.
Don't make us drag you out.
That's the difference i stop at the line.
I dance up to it, skate near it.
I don't go over the line.
My wife catapults clear across the line.
Jamie doesn't catapult.
If i had known, i would've enjoyed myself before.
You feel guilty just looking across the line.
I have nothing to show for my guilt.
I'm in a lose-Lose situation.
You think you're the first couple to go through this? Fran and i went through hell.
Two years separated you work through it, and it becomes better.
It's like a broken bone.
You reset it, and sometimes It's stronger than before you broke it.
I'll tell you something that'll make you feel better.
Fran and i were just married.
There's this guy in fran's office.
He keeps calling her and calling No, i'm sorry.
No, that wasn't fran.
That was another couple the kopacks.
They're friends of ours.
Fran told me You understand what i'm saying? Work things through.
It gets better.
Mark, you're going to depress the boy.
Whoever ordered hank williams, your song is up.
Here we go.
It's our turn.
Just what you need.
A release.
What do i need? I don't sing.
You don't have to.
Just be loud.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's a little song from the birthday boy.
The lyrics.
Make a fool of yourself.
No, no, no.

Dad, that's true.
But trust even more than love, don't you think? What's love if there's no trust? Hmm, maybe you're right.

I could not be more sorry.
If i have to apologize Every day for the rest of my life, Then i will, o.
K.
? I am that sorry.
I thought you did a very nice job at the party.
Thanks.
How does this happen all of a sudden? It's not all of a sudden.
Why do you think i kept saying we need time together? Why i kept pushing for us to get away together? Something was going on.
With berkus? With us.
This guy is not the problem.
You kissed him.
You know? You kissed him.
Do you know what that's like for me to imagine? That another guy's lips were on your lips.
What kind of kiss was that? You never even told me.
Like where were his hands? Your hands? Stop it.
Stop it.
What were you doing? Really, stop it.
Pulling him close to you.
You really want to know? You're doing what? He leaned in i Shut up! Shut up now.
Stop asking me about it.
How do i know that this never happened before? Because i'm telling you.
So what's that? Honesty's your strongest personality trait right now? Actually, yes.
What happened in albany? Nothing happened in albany.
O.
K.
, says you.
I didn't even get to albany.
I turned around and came back Because i wanted to be with you.
Well, i don't know, you know.
I just I just I just hate this.
What? I'm going to be 40, standing in a park, Asking you questions like, "where were the guy's hands?" I mean, it's just so It's just so pedestrian.
Who said we're not pedestrian? I always assumed that you and i Would be immune to this crap.
Well, we're not.
When i started working so hard this year And put in longer hours I always supported you.
Yes, you did.
I said go do what you have to do.
Yes, you did.
Why? I believed in, trusted No, because you liked it.
I liked you working with this guy? No.
Me not being around.
It was o.
K.
For you to not be around.
Everything was even.
Nothing would be your fault.
What wouldn't be my fault? Whatever is wrong with us However much we drift apart, However much we don't talk.
When don't we talk? Come on.
In the last three months how many times Have we eaten dinner together? How many times Have we done something fun on a weekend? When did we last make love because we wanted to, Not because it was good clinical timing? Tell me.
When? I don't know.
Is that what you want out of marriage? Don't you think we deserve better? First, i don't know anybody Who talks more than we do.
I wouldn't want to.
We're talking, but nobody is saying The nasty, old, ugly truth.
Which is what? This isn't working.
I reach out for you, you're not there.
I'm certainly not there for you.
You've been working I've been working.
You've been working.
We're killing ourselves, Saving and planning, and for what? For this baby that's not coming.
We've been trying a year.

I think it's I think it's too hard.
Yes, it is.
[Breathes deeply.]
Yes, it is.
So maybe this is it.
We gave it our best shot.
This is as far as we got.
It's a lot farther than most people get, you know.

She got into a cab, and i came home.
But it wasn't just a walk.

Before i could tell her, She tells me she kissed this guy in her office.
You know this guy berkus? Well, she kissed him.
She didn't actually kiss him.
He kissed her, but she didn't exactly stop it.

They're underneath the good cookies the ones with the fat.
Everything's so different now.
The air's a different color.

You know what i mean? We're going to figure it out.
I promise.
What good cookies with the fat? Just a second.

He'll get over it.
Mine.
My life.

Never mind.
She doesn't know.
She doesn't know.
She doesn't know hopeless, Or she doesn't know, like, ambivalent? Get on the phone.

I got nothing to say to her.
He has nothing to say to her.
He has nothing to say to you.
He has nothing to say to me? What is there to say? What is there to say? Ashe shouldn't be talking to anybody now.
She shouldn't be talking at all.
She should look inside her soul For some answers to very sticky questions About the definition of marriage And propriety and the consequences of actions And the ramifications thereof.
Answers to all kinds of stuff.
And 2 and deux In a larger sense What kind of person is she? What kind of person is she? Who is this woman that i thought i knew, Who has made a mockery of everything that i held sacred? And when we made our sacred marriage vows For better or for worse, For sickness or for poorer I don't recall anybody making mention Of the bride kissing douglas berkus.
About the bride kissing this clown berkus.
And i'll tell you, The nerve, the unmitigated gall Of her tearing apart this union Out of personal weakness Leaves any thinking, feeling human being With a pit in their stomach.
And tell her i want my dog back.
Tell him people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, That none of us is perfect, And until he's walked a mile in my shoes, he has not walked.
Boy, are you in trouble.
And tell him if he stops by the apartment to water the plants.
And also i left a frozen chicken on the counter.
If he wants to pick up murray, He can come by my office and get him tomorrow Before his job interview.
And tell him goodbye.
Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Just tell her goodbye.
Goodbye.

No, i know.
I'm really awfully fond of you, jamie.
I know that.
And maybe in another life, um [Ding.]
If i thought we couldn't be friends, I would really hate that.
Maybe we could pretend this never happened I already told paul.
What? I told paul about it.
Why? Because i did.
Oh, great.
The stairs are faster.

No, he doesn't.
I hope you can tell him Hi.

Hi, paul.
I'm jane pauley's assistant.
Hi.
I see you brought a little friend along.
I had a scheduling conflict.
I don't usually bring a dog to an interview, Especially a job that i really want.
I'm very excited about this job.
there's no dog.
I'm entirely dogless throughout the interview, Not even, like, a puppy.
Mr.
Buchman, i think your dog Ooh.
Ooh.
I begged you to go before we got here.
I don't know why you do this to me.
Why maury povich? What, are you kidding me? You know how to do this? What are you waiting for? [Singing.]
Come on.
Right on the carpet? Right between date and line.
You ain't going to get that job.
What did we have in that last bar? The sports bar? No.
Before that.
Yes.
The strip club? It was a mai tai.
Ow.
That was the big mistake.
Best thing for that cold beer and some karaoke.
This guy's sleeping on my couch Watching flipper in his underwear and crying.
Excuse me for having emotions.
You guys ever have a marriage that fell to crap? Yes.
Yeah.
All right, then.
So shut up.
What would you like us to do to make you feel better? I would really like to punch somebody.
Whoberkus? For starters, yeah.
You should have.
Want to hit me? Why? What did you do? Nothing.
It's just a release.
You'll feel better.
You would let me hit you? Sure.
If it helps you.
Thank you.
You want to? Nah.
Maybe later.
Come on, now.
Do it now.
Really? Yeah.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Come on.
That's not a hit.
Paulie, that's not a hit.
Ow! That's a hit.
There you go.
Me, me.
What about me? Yeah! O.
K.
, there.
Now Now we feel better? Not one ounce.
I want to be like jamie.
I'd like to kiss somebody.
Want to kiss me? You would let me kiss you? Sure.
I don't want to kiss you.
You'll feel better.
That has zero appeal to me.
I understand.
Maybe later? Maybe later.
O.
K.
Right there.
That's a perfect example of somebody That i would like to kiss.
So go ahead.
You'd let me? Sure.
If it'll help you.
You're so good to me.
Well, you know, i hate to nitpick, But kissing somebody wouldn't make you even.
Why not? Because james didn't kiss somebody.
Somebody kissed her.
The man has a point.
Technically, somebody would have to kiss you.
Then i could take half an hour to push them away, Pretend i didn't enjoy it.
Hey, come on.
Let's be fair to jamie.
This was a one-Time thing, an isolated incident.
It was a momentary lapse of judgment, of weakness.
It's not a capital crime.
In europe, this happens all the time.
Mm-Hmm.
Where? In europe.
Where in europe? Wherever you want italy, france.
You don't think in france this happens every day? Oh.
The french don't care.
It happens all the time.
Every day, every minute.
Bingo.
Just happened.
A guy in marseilles just grabbed another guy's wife Right in the croissant.
Why can't i do that? Because that's not you.
These people are french.
Don't you understand? All right.
What about her? What about her? What if she kissed me out of her own goodwill? You'd be one lucky man.
Here you go.
Here you go, sweetheart.
What is your name? Sandra.
Sandra, do you know it's my birthday today? Oh.
Is it really? Yep.
Well, happy birthday.
So, i took a shot there.
Don't make us drag you out.
That's the difference i stop at the line.
I dance up to it, skate near it.
I don't go over the line.
My wife catapults clear across the line.
Jamie doesn't catapult.
If i had known, i would've enjoyed myself before.
You feel guilty just looking across the line.
I have nothing to show for my guilt.
I'm in a lose-Lose situation.
You think you're the first couple to go through this? Fran and i went through hell.
Two years separated you work through it, and it becomes better.
It's like a broken bone.
You reset it, and sometimes It's stronger than before you broke it.
I'll tell you something that'll make you feel better.
Fran and i were just married.
There's this guy in fran's office.
He keeps calling her and calling No, i'm sorry.
No, that wasn't fran.
That was another couple the kopacks.
They're friends of ours.
Fran told me You understand what i'm saying? Work things through.
It gets better.
Mark, you're going to depress the boy.
Whoever ordered hank williams, your song is up.
Here we go.
It's our turn.
Just what you need.
A release.
What do i need? I don't sing.
You don't have to.
Just be loud.
Ladies and gentlemen, here's a little song from the birthday boy.
The lyrics.
Make a fool of yourself.
No, no, no.

You happy now? No.
That's not what i had planned at all.
Rrr.
Aah-Ha! Ow! Wow, that hurts.

I miss him very much, But, no, i am not ready right now.
I'm saying no.
Are you listening? Aah! All right! Thanks.
[Sylvia.]

I'm not that interested.
Believe me.
What are you doing? Why? Making coffee.

In the last three months how many times Have we eaten dinner together? How many times Have we done something fun on a weekend? When did we last make love because we wanted to, Not because it was good clinical timing? Tell me.
When? I don't know.
Is that what you want out of marriage? Don't you think we deserve better? First, i don't know anybody Who talks more than we do.
I wouldn't want to.
We're talking, but nobody is saying The nasty, old, ugly truth.
