Scenes with Trudy Campbell 5

[about the possibility of adoption] I don't know if I could love a child that's not even related to me.

Trudy

We're not related by blood and you love me.

(Pete is watching television looking very depressed. Trudy walks in)

Trudy Campbell

Darling? What's wrong?

I can't tell you.

Trudy Campbell

Peter, look at me. Is there something I should know?

Trudy, no. It's nothing to do with you. (Offering his hand) Come here.

(Trudy takes his hand and lies beside him on the sofa.)

Trudy Campbell

You should talk to me. You'll feel better.

How is it that some people just walk through life dragging their lies with them, destroying everything they touch?

Trudy Campbell

Who are you talking about?

I loathe it. No-one ever knows. Except the honest people who have to pick up the pieces.

Trudy Campbell

I don't know what you're talking about, and I want to.

No you don't, and I don't want you to.

Trudy Campbell

You can tell me anything. (She moves her hand on her pregnant belly) Ooh.

What was that?

Trudy Campbell

Just a kick. He's turning over. Feel. (She places Pete's hand on her belly) Just remember, everything's good here.

Trudy

We're done, Peter. This is over.

You want a divorce?

Trudy

I refuse to be a failure. I don't care what you want anymore. This is how it's going to work: You will be here only when I tell you you can be here. I'm drawing a 50-mile radius around this house, and if you so much as open your fly to urinate I will destroy you. Do you understand?

You know what? You're going to go to bed alone tonight, and you're going to realize that you don't know anything for sure.

Trudy

I'll live with that.

I was offered a job tonight. Because its origins were supernatural, I realize its benefits might be as well. I want you and Tammy to come with me. I want you to relocate to Wichita, pick out a house, and be my wife and family again.

Trudy

Peter, I'm not dismissing you, I'm just saying, with respect to whatever is happening with your eyes right now, that we both know the past can't be undone.

Says who? We're not even through half our lives. Even if we are, we're entitled to more!

Trudy

Of what?

[pause] Then we're entitled to something new. I wanna start over, and I know I can! I'm not so dumb anymore. I'm not ignoring the fact that I could lose your love.

Trudy

[gently] You never lost it. But I will not allow you to hurt me again.

[smiles] I love you, too.

Trudy

You think you can just come in here when I'm all disoriented and say the things I wanted you to say 2 years ago, and I'll just run away with you?

I said it to you 10 years ago, and I'm saying it now: I do.
