![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() January 29, 2004: Tad and Liza reunite as lovers. Tad: Liza, thanks for coming. Why don't you have a seat, okay? I just want to start by saying how much I care about you, and -- and the idea of you and me getting together -- well, thanks for putting it out there, you know? As an idea, it's great. There are risks. I mean, we've known each other a long time. Things could get complicated. That's not bad. I'll remember that -- spontaneous, open, honest. [There's a knock at the door.] Tad: Coming! [He takes a moment to prepare himself, then opens the door.] Tad: Li-- [It's Krystal.] [After Krystal leaves. There's another knock on the door. Tad picks up the Kama Sutra book that Krystal left and goes to open the door.] Tad: Yeah. Did you want this? [He sees it's Liza and quickly hides the book behind his back.] Liza: You called? [She walks inside.] Does this mean you've decided that you want me? Tad: Just, for God's sake, forget about it. Liza: Why are you hiding it? Tad: I'm not hiding anything. Liza: You're putting it in the drawer. Tad: Listen, I'm not hiding. Liza: Let me see it. Tad: For God's sake. [He takes the book out of the drawer and hands it to her.] Liza: "The Kama Sutra." Tad: You happy now? Liza: Is this why you called me over here? Tad: No, you weren't supposed to see the book. Liza: Because you were looking at it by yourself? Tad: [Laughs] No. Yes. No. I mean, it wasn't like I was, you know, sitting around doing research. Liza: Well, come on. You don't have to be embarrassed or anything. You know, I've been telling people I want to spice up my life, even though this isn't what I was really thinking about. But you thought about me and that's -- you care about me, and there's a... a bookmark. Wow. Tad: Yeah. Liza: So you put some thought into this here. Tad: Mm-hmm. Liza: [She looks at the bookmarked page.] Oh, my. Well, you know, I'm flattered that you have such confidence in me. [She smiles and Tad chuckles.] Tad: Come here. We don't need the damn book, all right? You should write a book. Somebody should write a book about you. What you did was very brave. Liza: Well, you know, I was just being honest that I -- I want you. So, what do you say? Tad: That's just it. I was completely thrown for a loop, you know. I mean, now you know what you want -- Liza: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait a minute. What do you mean -- this is beginning to sound a little bit like a kiss-off despite "The Kama Sutra." Tad: No. No, no, that's not what I'm saying. Liza: Because, you know, if this is how you let me down gently, why don't you just sort of fast-forward to the finale and then I can leave with a shred of dignity. Tad: I don't want you to leave. Liza: Okay. This is the weirdest "stick around, Liza" I've ever had, but you know what? It's you. What do I expect? Tad: Hey, you know what? Exactly. Right on the money. It's what you expect -- that's the problem. Liza: No, that's not the problem. Look, this is where you're going to give me that whole monologue about how you know me so well and you can predict my every movement. Tad: After what you did this afternoon, I'm not sure of anything anymore. Liza: Look, do you want to make a go of it with me or not? Tad: Yes. Absolutely. I just can't make any guarantees. Liza: I don't want any guarantees. Tad: I -- I'm -- you're not the only woman in my life. Liza: I know. Tad: And you don't care? Liza: Right now, no, I don't. Tad: See, that's the thing -- knowing you, that's just so weird. Liza: You know what? Stop it. Just shut up because you're going to talk it to death. Tad: No, but I -- I -- Liza: No, buhbuh, no. Shut up. Tad: Can I say one thing? Liza: Yes. [She gets really close to him and smiles.] What's your one thing? Tad: I forgot. Liza: Mm-hmm. [They kiss.] [Tad and Liza are kissing. They separate, and Tad is about to say something.] Liza: What did I -- what did I say? Tad: Shut up? Liza: Yeah. There's plenty of time to talk afterwards. [They kiss.] Tad: Or during. Are you sure about this? Liza: I'm positive. [Tad smiles and kisses her. He takes her hand and they head for bedroom.] [After they make love, Liza is getting ready to leave.] Tad: About what just happened -- [They kiss.] Liza: No. You know what? Don't -- don't -- we should have a moratorium on reviews and talking in general. Tad: Usually I agree, but a couple things do need to be said. Liza: No. No words, no. Tad: Not even a few? Liza: No. I think we might talk ourselves out of something will give us a lot of happiness. Tad: On the other hand, we make the wrong assumptions, we could risk something that means a Hell of a lot. Liza: You know, you make a point. Maybe we should do no thinking. No talking, no thinking. Tad: [Smiling] That -- this is -- this is just one of my favorite fantasies, but it's just so -- Liza: Oh, come on, let's just go with it. Let's just go with it. Come on. [She laughs and they kiss.] Tad: It's new. Liza: It'll be something new, yes. Tad: That's for sure. Liza: So, until next time. Tad: Yeah. [She smiles at him and leaves.] |
