- TRIP
- Grace --
- GRACE
- Trip, let me ask our guest a question.
- GRACE
- Adam, yes or no...
- (Adam puts down a trinket 7.)

- In a marriage, shouldn't one person try to make their spouse a better person, even if they don't want it?
- (Adam comforts grace.)
- GRACE
- Look, you don't need answer, I don't need to hear anymore!
- (Adam hugs grace.)
- GRACE
- Don't you see, Trip?! Our marriage... is a sham, Trip! Don't you see that? It's all fake, all pretend...
- (Adam hugs grace.)
- TRIP
- Oh, Jesus...!
- TRIP
- Uhh! Yeah, go on, get away from me!

- GRACE
- Adam, I -- I -- uhh...!
- GRACE
- Trip, it's your fault -- ten years ago, freshly married and just out of college,
- GRACE
- you convinced me to go into advertising, instead of art!
- TRIP
- What?
- GRACE
- If it weren't for you, I could be a real artist by now.
- TRIP
- Uhh... Adam, uhh...
- TRIP
- That's bullshit.
- GRACE

- GRACE
- and you don't even say 'yes' when I ask you if you want the truth...
- GRACE
- that I'm supposed to realize something about myself from all that?
- GRACE
- Is all of that arguing intended to mean something, or...
- GRACE
- Is it? I just want a yes or a no.
- (ADAM kisses grace.)
- GRACE
- No, Adam, I just want a yes or no.
