"What do you think he would say to us right now if we were in session with him?"
"He would probably ask what each of us wants."
"And we would say... 'we don't know.'"
"And he would ask, 'what are you afraid of, Tina?'"
"Hm... Fucking it all up."
"What else are you afraid of, Tina?"
"I'm afraid of what everyone will think of us, how they'll will judge us, how hurt Jodi will be."
"She already knows there's something wrong."
"Did you tell her about us?"
"God, no. I've been such a fucking coward. And, you know, but it's not like we really...I don't know. It was never just...easy."
"What do you mean, never easy?"
"Well we don't share the same values, Jodi and I."
"Do you think we share the same values?"
"Of course I do. I mean, I think that's why we were able to parent together when things were the most acrimonious between us. It's so fucking rare, Tina. We both care about the quality of life. And I like the choices you make, the things that you surround yourself with. There is attention to beauty, and I think that's important. And I'm comfortable with the people in your world and I think you're comfortable with the people in mine."
"We like the same people."
"And we dislike the same people."
"Yes."
"We'd both rather stay in on New Years Eve.
What is it that you're afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that I'm destructive. That if I have something good, I feel compelled to destroy it it.
"Look, I am not so pure and innocent, okay; I was awful. When I was with Henry, I was flailing. Look how I treated you, I used Angelica against you, I was...
"I love you."
"...I was despicable."
"I love you. I have no doubt about that. I'm just afraid that..."
"That everything you're feeling right now is because we're not really together? It's an affair."
"No."
"But it is."
"For me, when I really search myself, it doesn't feel like an affair. For me, it feels like I'm coming home."
"I don't know what to do."
"You're in love with Jodi, right?"
I adore her, and I respect and admire her but..."
"But what?"
"It doesn't really compare..."
"I miss you."
