The story so far
Everything you need before watchingGabe and Judy are about to grab something to eat when they collide with Jack and his new girlfriend Sam, a young aerobics instructor bubbling about burglaries, couscous, and dinner at the house. Jack fumbles excuses: the Grammys, his mother in town. Once the women peel away for decaf, Gabe unloads. This is who you leave Sally for? Jack wants someone he can breathe around. He wants to enjoy the rest of his life. The breakup stops being abstract.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passage❝ 杰克的自我辩护
She's terrific. She's warm, and she's nice. I can relax around her. I can breathe. Sally was hyper. You know that. She's great, but she's cold, and she's-she's-she's difficult. - You're telling me that. - Her Radcliffe friends and all that crap about her interior decorator. Hey, you wanna know something? I was bored at the opera. - Shh. - I was bored at the opera. She would never go to a Giants game with me. We would never just sit around and relax. If I put an ashtray down in the wrong place in the house...
她很棒。她温暖，她对人好。 在她身边我能放松。我能喘气。 莎莉以前就紧绷。你知道的。她很好，但她冷，而且她、她、她很难相处。 - 这还用你告诉我。 - 她那些拉德克利夫的朋友，还有她室内设计师那套鬼话。 嘿，你想知道吗？我听歌剧听得无聊透了。 - 嘘。 - 我听歌剧听得无聊透了。 她从来不肯跟我去看巨人队的比赛。 我们从来就不能就那么坐着放松一下。 要是我把烟灰缸放错了家里的位置……
从温暖放松说到烟灰缸，把婚姻憋屈列成清单。
