Dear Red Shoes, Love, lust, marriage, children, divorce.

Pretty common nowadays.

Honesty, deceit, one to tell the truth and one to tell a little white lie.

Okay, I'll go first.

Waterford Crystal.

Her mother's silver.

John Lennon pencil drawings.

No, that's our list, too.

Shaker furniture.

Our list, yeah.

The Mexican pottery.

Tiffany lamp and the Appalachian quilt.

No, no, that's not negotiable.

A quilt.

Deep sentimental value, you know. Okay. And my client has agreed to make copies

of our family videos, wedding, honeymoon, vacations, etc.

Well, we want the two original copies taken at the hospital when the children

were born.

Agreed to make copies?

Of course.

All right.

Let's move along here, okay?

Now, the items to be picked up by Salvation Army. Wooden toy chest.

Green wardrobe.

Cinderella twin bed set.

Purple futon couch. Wait, wait, wait. I want that.

It's moldy.

So I'll have it cleaned.

It's in shreds.

I'll have it covered.

Why don't you just buy a new one? I want it.

Let's move along here. Great, thanks.

All right.

Next item, tree pruner.

I'm ready.

Where are you going?

We've been separated a year. Do I need to tell him where I'm going?

Hell no.

Why don't you take off too, Nick?

Esther and I will finish negotiations here.

All right? Yeah.

Five in the morning, buddy. Okay. Right.

So, where will we be?

I just need to get away for the weekend.

We'll create a divorce.

We'll create something.

And for your information, we left each other.

Well, whatever.

Tragedy is a tragedy.

I'll be fine, Mom.

Yeah, I know, honey.

Yeah.

Love you.

What do you say you go fetch a firewood, and I'll start?

Hi,

honey. Where's Grandma?

She has a big headache.

She said to ask, do I look tiny, please?

I'm sure you do, sweetie.

Where's Mom?

What is tiny?

Vegetables, rice, dumplings.

Put Mommy on the phone, okay?

She's not here.

Where is she?

Out. What are dumplings?

Out. On a Friday night?

Put your sister on the phone, honey, okay?

She won't talk to me.

Honey, if Mommy dressed up, now think.

She'd be wearing high heels, but thick.

Her hair would be real high up on her head.

Like the Flintstone lady?

Yeah, something like that.

She'd be giving orders to the nanny in her nervous voice.

Did Mommy do that?

Talk real fast in her nervous voice?

No, Daddy. She says talk to the dog.

Daddy? Yeah?

Why are you divorcing us?

Get the shit out of him.

Get me.

Hold it. Hold it.

What are you doing here?

About to ask you the same thing.

Who followed me here?

I did not.

Great minds think alike.

No, no, no. The sports utility vehicle is ours. She has the kids. She gets the

car. You should get a new car.

Look, it's got an airbag. What if their lives are in jeopardy? You get new kids.

I don't care.

Why are you being so stubborn about this?

I'm not going to budge.

Oh, see, I think you will.

Well, guess what?

I know I won't. Well, I think you will.

Want to bet?

Oh, yeah, I'll bet you. I won't. You will? I won't.

I won't. You will. I won't. You will.

sleep. I'm ready.

Me too.

thing to come out of all this.

I learned how to cook.

Of course I can only cook three things.

But I found them.

You know, somebody ought to write a book.

How to eat alone in restaurants.

Buy yourself a magazine, newspaper.

Wear dark glasses.

So tell me about it.

Who?

What, don't you think people talk?

It's been a goddamn year, Lily.

What do you expect me to do?

How old is she?

People talk. You tell me.

How do you think it makes me feel?

Don't start.

22.

She's 22, isn't she?

Barely.

What's it like?

Come on.

No, seriously.

Different, isn't it?

Yeah, of course it's different.

She's a different person.

I mean, everybody is different.

It's nothing like you and I had.

Fuck you.

Please, don't do this.

You're a great lover. It pisses me off the most.

I'm such a great lover.

Crawl up on that table.

Seriously.

Crawl up on the table.

It's your last chance.

I never should have said that.

Do it now.

Now over on your back.

Now open.

You know it's funny, if I close my eyes I can see you totally.

Wherever I am.

At work. At night.

You and those sad fucking puppy dog eyes of yours.

Every time a mom or the kids look at me, I know exactly what they're thinking.

What?

Everybody wants you back.

Everybody forgives you.

Everybody but you?

Why not?

Come on, listen to me.

Lily, this is my last chance.

You want to talk?

Yeah.

Do you know what it feels like to think that you have the perfect marriage

and then one day in a grocery store, Mr. Look -at -me -I'm -so -honest tells me

that he slept with his secretary?

Oh, no, forgive me, his assistant. I slept with her once.

There was a moment of weakness, and it freaked me out.

You didn't have to tell me about it. Sure I did. Listen, if you love

if you're sharing each other's lives, I want you to know if I'm weak. I want you

to know everything about me.

Okay? I can't live a lie. Never could, and never will.

You've made that perfectly clear.

Let me tell you something.

Do you know why guys have mistresses?

Oh, God, here we go.

It's because they want to stop lying.

They want to be able to finally tell the truth, because there is an honesty in

that deception.

That's your mom.

I even miss your mother.

Smells good.

Nick?

Honesty, right?

Yeah.

You sure?

Of course.

There's something I should tell you.

What's that?

I had an affair.

I had an affair, Nick.

While we were married.

I can't move forward.

Nothing can move forward till you hear what I have to say. I can't do this. You

can't what?

I can't do this.

His name... Please, Lily, don't do this to me. God damn it, I wish I wasn't

doing this.

But you are the one who started it.

What was his name?

Do you remember when I got the Brillstein account?

He wanted it. I wanted it. God, not him.

I thought he was gay.

I don't want to share you with anybody.

I'll do whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes?

What a difference a day makes.

Or what I should say is what a difference a night makes, red shoes.

We were a heartbeat from throwing our entire lives away when fate somehow

brought us back together.

A miracle is a miracle.

Is a miracle.

Is a miracle.

Is a miracle.

Thank you.
