Isn't that a Simon and Garfunkel album?
SCENE
Bedroom. Dark. A woman sleeping in the bed. A man enters the room.
B: There goes the 3:30 train.
S: ...
B: Did you hear me?
S: You said "there goes the 3:30 train."
B: You didn't move a muscle.
S: ...
B: The girls are sleeping upstairs. They tag teamed me all night.
S: You should have woken me up at midnight. I told you to wake me up if you couldn't get them to go down.
B: You were in here sleeping like a log. Your mouth was open, you were stiff as a board.
S: That's what I look like when I'm sleeping.
B: You were dead to the world.
S: Well I'm sorry you were up all night with them.
B: Be careful of the carpet at the bottom of the stairs, it's wet. Hamish shit in the house.
S: Did you scream and curse?
B: You heard me!
S: No, I can just imagine it. "Godamnit motherfucking asshole!"
B: You DID wake up!
S: I just know you really well.
B: Oh you do, do you? What am I thinking right now?
S: (Projecting) You're thinking shut up and go to sleep.
B: No, I'm thinking about sex.
S: Mmmf. (pause) That should be my standard answer. You're thinking about sex.
B: I watched this movie with Darryl Hannah and that actress we like.
S: ...
B: Holly Hunter?
S: We like Holly Hunter.
B: All movies should have Holly Hunter in them. Naked.
S: Mmmmf.
B: And that guy who has horses and runs that film festival.
S: Robert Redford. (pause). "Legal Eagles." Debra Winger.
B: Right! Debra Winger! I thought her accent sounded funny.
S: It's like...Deception Trivia.
B: (Laughs)
S: Try to guess the answer in spite of the fucked up question. I should win a prize.
