hours on end and and then maybe we'll

even share some raisins which at this

very moment are getting nice and gushy

pants Chris honey I would never be the

one to CR crush your most precious

fragile hopes and dreams but if you were

lying on the ground almost dead from

thirst nicholet Preston wouldn't take

the time to spit in your

face here here you're both

wrong don't you see we share a special

connection one that can only be formed

after spending hours staring at her

picture in a magazine or or sitting

through endless showings of her latest

film until my clothes are all damp with

saturated fats and my rear is all numb

and swollen

so much for

breakfast nicolet's got to have felt

that connection herself in her mind and

in her heart and and in her bladder I

don't know why they but

ramifications of that nightmare

of catching up to do with my funnies

read them out loud I have a cute little

voice for all the characters

sounds like fun but I was kind of hoping

we could go to the

movies what I want to go to the

movies that's what I thought you said

what do you think I'm made of

money am I supposed to stay cooped up in

here all day while you read okay so now

you're cooped up you know this place

used to be fine with you it is fine but

you never take me

anywhere nicholet after a hard day at

work delivering newspapers I come home

attitude will you stop nagging me all

you do is

complain why should I take you out

anyway you never dress up for me anymore

why should I we never go anywhere

because I'm not made of money so sick of

the same argument all the time you're

driving me crazy well you're driving me

me crazy go to

hell Nicolet wait niolet wait do the

hell with him who needs women

anyway oh my what's the matter dear yeah

did your higher brain function suddenly

kick in and you finally realized how you

threw away your entire life we had our

first fight but you two were getting

along so well yeah we were in the

beginning but not anymore he he won't

take me anywhere he started to take me

for

granted oh that sounds like exactly what

he's doing dear and you're just going to

have to get used to it what all the

Peterson men take their women for

granted it's a sacred tradition with

us all I wanted to do is go to the

movies movies what do you think he's

made of

money why Mr freeo you look like like

you're about to vomit don't be

ridiculous I can hold my

liquor hi Chrissy oh hi Patty I was just

wondering if I could borrow some sugar

sure how many bags do you

need just one

okay so what's new big guy uh

not a whole lot I got

married oh well congratulations I

thought I hadn't seen you around yeah

well married life kind of changes

everything I haven't seen any of my

friends lately still they say there's

nothing like it I guess I mean in the

beginning it was fine but I don't know

now we're going through kind of a rough

patch a that's too

bad well I just want you to know that

I'm available if you ever want to talk

about

it oh uh I think you better be going

now why I'm not in any

hurry

[Music]

[Music]

Chris how could

you uh niolet honey sweetheart py poo I

swear we were just barbecuing don't lie

to me Chris we've been through too much

together for this well I really think I

ought to be going

now not so fast home wrecker no really I

just right across

the

oh okay honey so um maybe there was

something going on here but but I swear

it meant nothing to me it it was just a

meaningless little fling I mean it you

know it's probably what they're always

talking about you know the Seven Hour

Itch Che me Chris you had an affair in

in our house in our

bed okay so you made one little mistake

don't show any weakness now or she'll

own your butt

forever I'm sorry Nichol I'm sorry

please forgive me I beg you please we

can work this out can't we okay is I'm

willing to work on it if you are but we

can't do this alone we've got to get

counseling

huh I got to be honest here okay I think

you psychologists are all a bunch of

phony to- faced hypocritical Eggheads

who talk people into unnecessary liver

transplants and Second Story additions

to their houses okay so don't expect me

to tell you anything because you my dear

Miss Frankenstein are the

enemy

Mr Peterson you have the right to any

opinion you like regarding us and please

understand you're under no pressure at

all to say anything to

me once when I was 7 years old we were

cleaning out the garage and I didn't

have any work clothes and so my mommy

made me wear one of her old aprons and

it made me feel like a little

girl yes Chris do you think you could

talk about this kind of stuff in your

own time we're here to talk about our

relation

ship oh sure I'm sorry first of all I

think you should know that it usually

takes years to diagnose all the factors

in a couple's relationship and even then

reaching a proper conclusion is still

very difficult but in this case I think

it's safe to say that uh you too should

break

up break up oh immediately get a

divorce but but why we have so much in

common we seem to be so compatible I

agree but there's a much larger much

more important issue here you see you

are simply much too beautiful for

him but suppose we decided we want to

give it one more chance well then I

would do what any trained marriage

counseling professional would do I would

have you both declared mentally

incompetent bind you in straight jackets

and have you thrown into some

godforsaken snake pit of a mental

institution for the rest of your

miserable life

lives now I know that what I'm saying

may sound harsh but it's the

law and I also know that in your hearts

you know I'm

right she is right you know

Chris I am too beautiful for

you I

know I guess it it just took the

objective voice of an outsider to get us

to admit it to

ourselves I'm sorry

nicholet I'm sorry too

[Music]

Chris thank you Dr

Rand what's the normal tip for something

like

this I'm in shock I was certain that

this was one that would

last you sure about this

okay then hold out your

hands this is it I mean don't we have to

sign something what are you some kind of

[Music]

idiot than

it wasn't all bad was

it no Chris the first couple of hours

were

great I'm going to miss you

niolet I'm going to miss you too

[Music]

Chris my

[Music]

okay well your first wife has just left

you she's gone and you're all

alone but you can take it you're quite a

man Chris

Peterson

I ran into Nicollet a little later that

day by then we were both seeing other

people and the wounds had had time to

heal I realized that nicholet was a

wonderful person and I was glad we had

spent almost an entire day of our lives

[Music]

together

we talked about old times for a while

and then we kissed affectionately and

she was

gone and at that precise moment

something very special almost magical

happened one of those giant Boulders

fell on

[Music]

me

[Music]

w

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

oh
