Closer

How did you get so brutal?

I lived a little.

You’re primitive

yeah i am hows dan

fine

did you tell him you were seeing me

no

do you cut off his crusts

what

do you cut off his crusts (#2)

what do you want

I want my negatives… whats your latest project anna

derelict buildings

how nice the beauty of ugliness

what are you doing with larry

everything… i like your bed. you should come round one night, come and watch your husband blubbering into his pillow- it might help you develop a conscience.

i know what ive done

his big thing at the moment is how upset his family is. apparently they all worship you, they cant understand why you had to ruin everything. he spends hours staring up my asshole like theres going to be some answer there. any ideas anna? why don’t you go back to him?

and then dan would go back to you

maybe

ask him

im not a beggardan

dan left you i didnt force him to go

you made yourself available dont weasel out of it

screwing larry was a big mistake

yeah well everyone screws larry round here

youre dans little girl he wont like it

so dont tell him i think you owe me that… she even looks beautiful when shes angry the perfect woman

just fucking stop it

now were talking

why now why come for me now

because i felt strong enough. its taken me five months to convince myself youre not better than me

its not a competition

yes it is

i dont wanna fight

so give in… why did you do this

i fell in love with him alice

thats the most stupid expression in the world. i fell in love as if you had no choice. theres a moment theres always a moment i can do this i can give in to this or i can resist it, i dont know when your moment was but i bet there was one

yes there was

you didnt fall in love you gave into temptation

well you fell in love with him

no i chose him i looked in his briefcase and i found this sandwich and i thought i will give all my love to this charming man who cuts off his crusts. i didn’t fall in love i chose to

you still want him after everything hes done to you

you wouldnt understand he buries me he makes me invisible

what are you hiding from

everything. everythings a lie nothing matters

too easy alice its the cop out of the age

yeah well youre old

i am sorry i had a choice and i chose to be selfish im sorry

everyones selfish i stole dan from someone else

ruth

ruth she went to pieces when he left her

did she ever come and see you

no so what are you goingto do

think is larry nice to you in bed

ok dans better

rubbish at least larrys there

dans there in his own quiet way

they spend a lifetime fucking and never know how to make love

ive got a scar on my leg. larrys mad about it he licks it like a dog any ideas

dermatology? god knows. this is what we’re dealing with…… yap yap…… they love dreams

so do we. you should lower your expectations

its easy to say that. im not being patronising but youre a child

you are being patronising

and you ARE a child. whos buster

buster no idea

he says it in his sleep

ive got to go

dont forget your negatives

oh yeah thanks do the right thing anna
