MARTHA
(interrupting, sadly)

Baby, you sure are a flop.

She starts through the library to the kitchen to get ice from the refrigerator.

NICK
(snapping it out as he follows her)
Everybody’s a flop to you! Your husband’s a flop, I’m a flop–!

MARTHA
You’re all flops. I am the Earth Mother, and you’re all flops.
(more or less to herself)
I disgust me…
(a pause)
There is only one man in my whole life who has ever…made me happy. Do you know that? One!

INT. KITCHEN

NICK
What? the gym instructor, or something?

MARTHA
No, no, no, no…
(shakes her head)
George.
(no response from Nick)
My husband.
