All right, I have not been the best that a husband should be, and
I’m sorry, I am so sorry for having put work before my family.
I have tried to give you everything that will make you happy,
But you say that it is not enough. You need companionship,
Someone who will see you for who you really are. Darling I love
You, you know that, I always have. Ever since I first set eyes
Upon you at that party, remember? You were so beautiful, I knew
That you would be my wife one day. But now you say it is not enough,
That there is something missing in your life. Then tell me, tell me
What I can do to save our relationship, please darling. You have found
Someone else, you want to bring him home, to live here? You want
To bring this, this stranger into our home to live, how can you? I have
Never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life. How can you bring
A stranger into our home? Damn it woman, I am your husband.
Yes, I know I am angry, and what do you expect me to be. Do you
Expect me to give you up just like that. And just who is this object
Of your affection, do I know him? No, I bet I don’t. And just how long
Has this affair been going on? A week, a week you say, and this stranger
Is to take my place in your life? Oh, not all of it, just a part of it. Well that’s
Comforting to know. And just when will all of this take place? He is due here
Just about now. Well, we will see about that. I may not have been the best
Husband to you, but I can still defend what belongs to me, and you belong
To me, let us get that understood.
The doorbell. Right woman, we will see about this, and stop your crying.
Who the hell are you, and what do you mean by…you are who, you’re from where,
Allen’s pet shop, and you have brought the dog my wife ordered last week.
