[00:00.448] For the record this is self-destructive
[00:03.357] For the record I'm aware of that
[00:06.282] For the record I've been picturing her body
[00:09.480] Draped over the sofa wearing nothing but her hat
[00:11.866] For the record
[00:13.717] Mmhmm
[00:15.039] I'm screwed
[00:16.634] Mmmhmmm
[00:19.055] For the record this can still go my way
[00:21.958] For the record I can keep my pride
[00:24.630] All I have to do is keep us focused on the questions
[00:27.803] Each one of her responses will remind me how she lied
[00:30.466] That's the answer!
[00:32.052] Mmmhmmm
[00:33.385] That's what I'll do...
[00:34.999] Mmmhmmm
[00:36.592] I'll use the
[00:36.867] Thirty-six
[00:37.924] Thirty-six
[00:38.989] Thirty-six
[00:40.044] Thirty-six
[00:41.118] Questions as a life line.
[00:43.760] And of course I have sympathy
[00:45.891] For the pathological liar who did this to me
[00:50.143] And yes I admit, I wish I could touch her...
[00:55.188] But the questions will make one thing clear:
[00:58.366] There's nothing left of my old life to spare
[01:02.380] No matter how much I may-
[01:04.774] Judith: ta-da.
[01:05.575] Jase (alarmed): what's up?
[01:06.892] Judith: what do you think?
[01:07.950] Jase: about what?
[01:08.747] Judith: my jersey. go sea wolves!
[01:11.682] Jase: yeah. haha. go sea wolves. anyway. I was just setting
[01:15.397] The table here. I don't know why I did that. that's
[01:18.597] Weird.
[01:19.656] Judith: it makes perfect sense to me. it's kind of like a
[01:21.777] Weird first date. which is why we really ought to
[01:25.492] Have more booze.
[01:27.361] Jase: I have whiskey - but, um, did you- did you want wine?
[01:31.292] Judith: do you have wine?
[01:33.134] Jase: yeah. the glass shattered on the chiller last night
[01:36.593] But I think the reds are okay. I'll just uh- yeah,
[01:39.725] I'll get them. I'll be right back.
[01:42.653] (to henry) stay with Judith, henry.
[01:47.165] Judith: hey, henry. I can't imagine all the horrible stuff
[01:50.612] You've heard about me. well, it's all true. but you
[01:55.137] Don't seem like the kind of duck who holds a grudge.
[01:58.589] You're not a whiskey drinker, are you? no. you keep
[02:02.836] Your wits about you. I like that.
[02:06.843] For the record I did not expect this
[02:09.757] I really thought that it would be a harder sell
[02:12.412] I came up with this plan at 4am on interstate 10
[02:15.605] How was I to know that it would work so well?
[02:17.996] For the record
[02:22.001] I haven't thought a lot about the way I'll answer
[02:24.916] I guess I'm still afraid that I might lie
[02:27.839] If only I could make him see if I was given the
[02:30.228] Choice
[02:30.753] Of telling him the truth or sticking knives into my
[02:32.903] Eyes
[02:33.696] I'd pick the knives
[02:35.023] Mmmhmmm
[02:36.620] But I'll survive
[02:38.213] Mmmhmmm
[02:39.813] I'll treat the
[02:40.347] Thirty-six
[02:40.864] Thirty-six
[02:42.198] Thirty-six
[02:42.997] Thirty-six
[02:44.328] Questions as a pastime!
[02:46.189] Thirty-six
[02:46.987] Thirty-six
[02:48.335] Thirty-six
[02:49.128] Thirty-six
[02:50.192] Questions just like last time
[02:53.108] And maybe it's wrong to say
[02:55.514] But his defense and distance will not
[02:58.161] Sway me from believing this is possible
[03:04.534] If he didn't love me anymore
[03:07.735] Then why the hell did he open the front door?
[03:11.704] I think it's a sign that he
[03:13.842] Jase: hey.
[03:14.629] Judith (alarmed): what's up?
[03:16.498] Jase: there's a good chance this wine is terrible.
[03:19.209] Judith: I'd settle for drinkable.
[03:21.060] Jase: I make no promises. ah, you lit candles...
[03:25.300] Judith: yeah. I thought it'd help set the mood.
[03:27.717] Jase: what's the mood?
[03:30.108] Judith: hopeful?
[03:32.219] Judith (cont'd): just like our first date
[03:35.424] When we sat on your carpet
[03:36.732] Drank two bottles of wine
[03:38.343] Jase: this is different
[03:41.555] Two years have gone by
[03:42.619] Our whole life was a lie
[03:44.471] Both: but there's something
[03:47.658] That feels so familiar
[03:48.985] We've been here before
[03:50.855] Jase: staring at each other
[03:52.173] Judith: suddenly caring for each other
[03:53.769] Both: moving on
[03:56.710] To question
[04:00.166] Two
[04:01.496] Jase: "would you like to be famous? in what way?"
[04:05.742] Judith: we're asking
[04:06.280] Thirty-six
[04:07.074] Thirty-six
[04:08.395] Thirty-six
[04:09.189] Thirty-six
[04:10.794] Questions to each other
[04:12.377] Jase: tonight it's thirty-six
[04:13.445] Reasons why
[04:14.508] You and I
[04:15.304] Can not be
[04:16.901] Healthy for each other
[04:18.255] Judith: we're asking
[04:18.764] Both: thirty-six
[04:19.577] Thirty-six
[04:20.651] Thirty-six
[04:21.449] Thirty-six
[04:23.030] Questions tonight
[04:24.365] Thirty-six
[04:25.696] Thirty-six
[04:27.033] Thirty-six
[04:27.822] Thirty-six
[04:29.145] Questions for the second time
[04:31.017] Thirty-six
[04:31.808] Thirty-six
[04:33.129] Thirty-six
[04:33.931] Thirty-six
[04:35.254] Questions for the last time
[04:59.254] This could be the last thing.
