Hey. What are you wearing?
I'm heading to play ball.
You play basketball?
Yeah, what do you think I do?
I don't know, read, eat soup,
write letters of complaint to local businesses?
Won't you come in?
Wow, Ray, this place is huge.
Yeah, well, it's not exactly Versailles, but it works for me.
Yeah, it's not half as bad as Hannah said it was.
No, it was. Believe me, it was a real house of horrors.
Yeah.
I'm kind of surprised you live in such a nice place.
No offense.
I could never live all the way out here, though.
Once you go to Manhattan, it's kind of hard to go back to Brooklyn.
Well, sounds like you know what you're doing to me.
Totally, thank you.
Yeah.
- So - Yeah?
I'm on pins and needles here, Marn.
What did you want to talk about?
Yeah, so I guess I just wanted you to, um
God, I don't really know how to say this.
Um
I wanted you to tell me what's wrong with me.
- What's wrong with you? - Yes.
It just feels like it's time for me
to take responsibility for what has happened in my life,
and you are someone who likes to tell people
what's wrong with them anyway,
so, shoot.
I'm smelling a trap here.
No, it is not a trap.
Seriously, this is what I need.
From you, specifically, please.
So, just give it to me.
- Please. - Okay.
- Okay. - All right.
You ready for this?
Yes, I am a strong woman.
All right, let's see here.
Hmm, well, for beginners,
you're extremely judgmental.
What?
Yeah, you came in here and immediately insulted me and my neighborhood.
Those were funny jokes.
Were they? Were they funny jokes, Marn?
- Well - You come across like you're better than everyone
and you want no part of their lives,
and then when you're excluded from things,
you're outrageously offended and hold onto this grudge.
Also you're unbearably uptight.
Okay, who isn't uptight, really?
If we're being serious.
And you use people.
- No. - You use people a lot.
- No. - Yeah, you do.
So much so that even when you try to connect and be sincere,
it comes across as phony.
I think that actually more or less sums it up in a nutshell.
You're a huge, fat *** phony.
Wow.
Okay, yeah, thanks.
I'm super glad I came here. That was great.
Yeah.
***.
But, that being said, I still like you.
Why?
Because because behind it all,
I think you mean well.
And I'm old enough to recognize that all of this ***
comes from a very deep, dank, dark, toxic well of insecurity,
probably created by your absent father.
And that allows you to be a sympathetic character.
That's nice.
Look
you are, ultimately, a good person, Marnie.
Okay? I believe that.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
You want a hug?
Come on. Give me a hug.
