Story of My Life - Scene 4

[YOUNG WIFE]
I've been waiting for hours

[COLLEGE BOY]
I had to stay after class

[YOUNG WIFE]
It's an awful movie

[COLLEGE BOY]
Forgive me

[YOUNG WIFE]
Fred Astaire dancing on a boat?

[COLLEGE BOY]
I missed you

[YOUNG WIFE]
I'm leaving

[COLLEGE BOY]
No
I should've found you in some other life
I should've found you before you were married

[YOUNG WIFE]
If my husband finds out, he'll throw me out on the street
And I'll have to sell pencils or apples or
Other things

[COLLEGE BOY]
Remember last time?

[YOUNG WIFE]
In the park

[COLLEGE BOY]
In the rowboat

[YOUNG WIFE]
We were naked

[COLLEGE BOY]
It was perfect

[YOUNG WIFE]
It was cold
What if my husband

[COLLEGE BOY]
He's a bore

[YOUNG WIFE]
He supports me

[COLLEGE BOY]
And he's stuffy

[YOUNG WIFE]
He's in business

[COLLEGE BOY]
And he's old

[YOUNG WIFE]
I'm leaving

[COLLEGE BOY]
No

[YOUNG WIFE]
I'm morally bankrupt
My reputation is at stake
My marriage is at stake
He gives me everything
Well
Almost everything
I hate to lie to him
He's going out of town next week

[COLLEGE BOY]
That's good

[YOUNG WIFE]
Again

[COLLEGE BOY]
You have to leave him

[YOUNG WIFE]
You're insane

[COLLEGE BOY]
But I love you

[YOUNG WIFE]
Please don't love me

[COLLEGE BOY]
But I love you

[YOUNG WIFE]
This is wrong

At Miss [?], I was voted most likely to succeed

I'm morally bankrupt
I hate Ginger Rogers
I think that I'm dying

[COLLEGE BOY]
I have to
Relax and
Just let her
Sweet Jesus
Enjoy it
Stay focused
Her tongue is
Her lips are

I know there's trouble ahead
Why can't I get it up
And keep it up
Without all the work
Story of my life
It's just a sorry little story of my life

Impotence
I never dreamed it would occur
That is 'til I met her
The one I think I love

Let's face the music instead
I never worked so hard
To keep it hard
And then I met her
And had her
And then I
Lost interest

It's her fault
It's my fault
To think that
Stealing someone's lonely little wife
Would be the greatest of adventures
In this sorry little story of my life

[YOUNG WIFE]
We've got a problem
Once again

[COLLEGE BOY]
What does that mean?

[YOUNG WIFE]
It's a problem
I can't help it
No, you can't
It happened last time

[COLLEGE BOY]
When was that?

[YOUNG WIFE]
In the rowboat

[COLLEGE BOY]
I was freezing

[YOUNG WIFE]
Is it my fault?

[COLLEGE BOY]
Try again

[YOUNG WIFE]
No

[COLLEGE BOY]
You were voted most likely to succeed

[YOUNG WIFE]
The floor is filthy
Look
Popcorn on my knees

[COLLEGE BOY]
You want me to fail like my father
Like my mother
Everybody

[YOUNG WIFE]
I'm leaving

[COLLEGE BOY]
Fine
Go

[YOUNG WIFE]
I'm not your father
I'm not your mother
I'm not your maid
Or your nurse
I'm a married woman

[COLLEGE BOY]
I have to
Just think of
Before she
Gave into
Before I
Could have her
Most likely
Succeeding

Ah

[YOUNG WIFE]
That was quick
Look at my kneecaps
And my dress
It's disgusting
It's unhealthy
This is sickness
I need more

[COLLEGE BOY]
I don't
I have everything now

[YOUNG WIFE]
When can I see you again?

[COLLEGE BOY]
You have a husband

[YOUNG WIFE]
I don't care
I have to see you

[COLLEGE BOY]
Well

[YOUNG WIFE]
Someplace

[COLLEGE BOY]
Well
The zoo

[YOUNG WIFE]
The zoo?
I'm morally bankrupt
Have I reduced myself to this
This cheap and sick affair
I was an innocent
Well, almost innocent
In front of animals
The zoo
When?

[COLLEGE BOY]
Soon

[YOUNG WIFE]
Tomorrow?

[COLLEGE BOY]
Tomorrow
I have to leave, darling
Mother's expecting me for dinner
I'll go first
I love you
Now it won't go down

[YOUNG WIFE]
I'm morally bankrupt
