You've taken all of my roles and redistributed them to the others?
It's not an accusation, just an observation. He's right, though. I have begun to mourn him while he is still alive, the glaring absence of his presence a fresh new pain that I've worked doggedly to bury somewhere in with everything else.
No, I haven't. I don't know what you mean. My voice is fake-bright and brimming with the lies spilling out of my face like a waterfall. (Oh, I know what you mean, Sam.)
Bridget, please. I'm just looking for what you already have.
It was there all along, Sam.
Selfishly we'd all like to be number one, though, don't you think? Don't you understand that? Maybe...Duncan or PJ are content to simmer on a backburner but I always needed more than that. Just. like. you.
The forced focus on the inflection of his words annoys me. You're further diluting it, for. your. information. I match it, just to be a jerk. Just to twist the screws. We're about to embark on the first romantic fight of our relationship, and I intent to win it. If I don't it will kill me and I already died yesterday.
You're jealous.
Of Matt? I laugh. Matt is shallow and temporary. What we have is deeper. It's EVERYTHING.
It's nothing, Bridget. There's no promise, no commitment, no giving of oneself to it whole. No bringing it before God-
Oh Sam. Why do you get so hung up on marriage? You've done it twice. You know the saying fool me twice-
Third time's the charm?
What?
It's the saying, Bridge.
You think marrying Matt again will work?
I can marry him or I can marry you but I didn't get this far in life not to be happy.
You can't marry me, I'm already- And then I realize he got me. He's right. Oh fuck.
Right.
When?
Easter, maybe. Someone told us we shouldn't rush so we're listening to her.
She's a puppet though.
Oh, I know.
Would you have, though? Where were you when Jake flew?
I was still married, Bridget, or I would have offered.
Sometimes I wish you had.
It would never have worked but it would have been fun.
Don't say things like that.
Don't go around missing me when I'm right here. If you need me just come find me. I'll never abandon you.
Thank you, Sam.
For what?
For saying that. I know you mean it.
He nods. So can I be the thief again?
No, sorry. I need to do this. If the same things aren't working then they need to be different.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
