Unspoken Desires at a Party
Emma
Aren't you enjoying the party?
Jerry
You're beautiful. Listen. I've been watching you all night. I must tell you, I want to tell you, I have to tell you...
Emma
Please.
Jerry
You're incredible.
Emma
You're drunk.
Jerry
Nevertheless. I was best man at your wedding. I saw you in white. I watched you glide by in white.
[he holds her]
Emma
I wasn't in white.
Jerry
You know what should have happened? I should have had you, in your white, before the wedding. I should have blackened you, in your white wedding dress, blackened you in your bridal dress, before ushering you in your wedding, as your best man.
Emma
My husband's best man. Your friend's best man.
Jerry
No. Your best man.
Emma
I must get back.
Jerry
You're lovely. I'm crazy about you. All these words I'm using, don't you see, they've never been said before. Can't you see? I'm crazy about you. It's a whirlwind. Have you ever to the Sahara Desert? Listen to me. It's true. Listen. You overwhelm me. You're so lovely.
Emma
I'm not.
Jerry
You're so beautiful. Look at the way you look at me.
Emma
I'm not... looking at you.
Jerry
Look at the way you're looking at me. I can't wait for you, I'm bowled over, I'm totally knocked out, you dazzle me, you jewel, my jewel, I can't ever sleep again, no, listen, it's the truth, I won't walk, I'll be a cripple, I'll descend, I'll diminish, into total paralysis, my life is in your hands, that's what you're banishing me to, a state of catatonia, do you know the state of catatonia? Do you? The state of... where the reigning prince is the prince of emptiness, the prince of absence, the prince of desolation. I love you.
Emma
My husband is at the other side of that door.
Jerry
I adore you. I'm madly in love with you. I can't believe that what anyone is at this moment saying has ever happened has ever happened. Nothing has ever happened. Nothing. This is the only thing that has ever happened. Your eyes kill me. I'm lost. You're wonderful.
Emma
No.
Jerry
Yes.

Where does it take place? Must be a bit awkward. I mean we've got two kids, he's got two kids not to mention a wife.
