Pete and Trudy in “The Milk and Honey Route”

Pete

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.

Pete

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

Trudy

Of what?

Pete

[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.

Pete

[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?

Pete

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