《所有美好的东西》四

影片对白
 
Lawyer: How did you and Katie feel about your new life in the city?
 
David: Well, New York commercial real estate is very, you know, it's button-down and white-shoe, and I really wasn't set up for that. But Katie seemed to like the city and she'd fixed up the apartment and... and eventually we even ended up buying a weekend place on a lake in Westchester.
 
(classic rock playing)
 
Katie's sister-in-law: Am I...am I overdressed?
 
Katie's brother: You look beautiful. Oh! This place must have cost a pretty penny.
 
Katie's sister-in-law: Do you think all of these people drove up from the city?
 
Katie's brother: Hey, we're looking for Katie.
 
Katie: Oh, my brother's here. Come on.
 
Katie's brother: Katie.
 
Katie: Hi.
 
Barry: Oh my God, disco people. Honey, babe...
 
(laughter)
 
Katie's brother: You know, I really think it's quite unique. Of course I'd love to pick your brain about the business plan.
 
Deborah: Get up. Dance with me.
 
Barry's wife: Thank you for inviting us. It's nice to finally meet the neighbors.
 
Katie: Can I touch your belly?
 
Barry's wife: Sure.
 
Katie: It's moving.
 
Barry's wife: She's moving.
 
Katie: How do you know?
 
Barry's wife: I just do. Before we walked over, Barry tried on every shirt he owns. (Katie chuckles) We don't get out much.
 
Katie: Most of these people are David's friends. I don't even think he knows half of them.
 
Barry's wife: Oh, I thought they were your friends.
 
Katie: Some of them.
 
Barry's wife: I guess it's just the way people act around you. They sort of favor you.
 
Katie: Maybe because I'm pregnant.
 
Barry's wife: Are you?!
 
Katie: You're the first person I've told.
 
Barry's wife: That's wonderful! How far along are you?
 
Katie: I just found out. Um, I don't know how it happened. It wasn't planned.
 
***************************
 
David: That's not what I said.
 
Katie: You said that you couldn't, that it wasn't possible.
 
David: That's not what I said.
 
Katie: That there was something wrong with you.
 
David: I didn't say that.
 
Katie: Yes you did.
 
David: What's the difference?
 
Katie: All the difference in the world.
 
David: Look, um, we've got an apartment in Manhattan. We got a house in the country. We got a Mercedes.
 
Katie: I don't care about all of that.
 
David: You don't care...
 
Katie: I care about you, David. I want to have your child. David!
 
David: Okay, if you don't care, we'll just go back to Vermont.
 
Katie: Fine, we'll go back to Vermont, fine. We'll do whatever you want to do. Please, David. (sighs) It won't be like when you grew up.
 
David: What do you know about it?
 
Katie: I'm not blind.
 
(David smashes things)
 
(exhales)
 
Katie: David? Look at me.
 
David: You make me out to be this person that you...think that I am. But I'm not that person. You can ask me anything you want. Anything, anything. (sighs) Anything and I'll do it. Just don't ask me this. I can't do this.
