Self-Discovery in Unexpected Relationships
Erica
I'm like the dumb girl that doesn't get it. I've never been the dumb girl before. It ain't great.
Harry
Let's just calm down. I had these plans before I even met you. I mean, I do like seeing you. I do.
Erica
Yeah.
[''scoff'']
Harry
I'm always surprised by it.
Erica
Surprised by it? What was I thinking?
Harry
I have never lied to you, I have always told you some version of the truth.
Erica
The truth doesn't have versions, okay?
Harry
Will you cut me a little slack? My life has just been turned upside down.
Erica
Mine too!
Harry
Well, then let's just each get our bearings.
Erica
I don't want my bearings. I've had my bearings my whole goddamn life. I feel something with you I never really knew existed. Do you know what that's like, after a 20-year marriage to feel something for another person that is so...? That... Oh, Right. Right. Not your problem. God. Do you know that I've written this, but I never really got it? Do you know what this is?
Harry
No.
Erica
This is heartbroken. How that's for impervious.
[''Erica kisses Harry'']
Harry
You're killing me.
Erica
I just wish that it had lasted more than a week.
Harry
Me too.
Erica
That's a terrible thing to say. You know, the life I had before you I knew how to do that. I could do that forever. But now, look at me. What am I going to do? What am I going to do with all this?
Harry
Erica. Can you wait just a second? The truth is, I... I just... I don't know how to be a boyfriend.
Erica
That's what you have to say after all of this? That you don't know how to be a boyfriend?
Harry
That's not a small thing.
Erica
Are we done?
[''shakes head'']
Harry
I don't know.
Erica
Oh, my god.

Embracing Love and Its Complexities
Erica
Are you crying?
Erica
Yeah. It's my new thing. I've gotten abnormally brilliant at it.
Marin
Why? What is it?
Erica
I'm in love. Ain't it great? Seems like I got to learn how to do that... love-them-and-leave-them stuff, you know?
Marin
Oh, Mom. I hate this. Now do you get my theory about all this? You got to self-protect.
Erica
You don't really buy this stuff you say, do you? You don't actually think that you can outsmart getting hurt?
Marin
I think it's worth trying.
Erica
Listen to me. You can't hide from love for the rest of your life because maybe it won't work out... maybe you'll become unglued? It's just not a way to live.
Marin
Are you telling me this is good? What's happened to you?
Erica
I think you should consider the possibility that you and I are more alike than you realize. I let someone in, and I had the time of my life.
Marin
I've never had the time of my life.
Erica
I know, baby. And I say this is from the deepest part of my heart. What are you waiting for?
