(Lights fade in from black, In the kitchen)
Chris Sr.- Look mary pretty soon were going to have to accept the fact that were over and start saying what we want to keep and what were willing to give up
Marie- I dont want to give you up
Chris Sr.- Im leaving mary
Marie- Please Chris dont please lets talk about it some more,
Chris Sr.- Im Done talking mary, Were getting a divorce now what do you want mary?
Marie-Please dont ask me that
Chris Sr.- What do you WANT Mary?
Marie- I only want you. I dont want the house or the car or money or anything, i just want you. do you remember back before the kids were born when we were still living in that little apartment in arizona? i remember like it was today, but not the house specifically, the little garden in front full of weeds. You said it was full of character, that the weeds had the same right to be there as any flower. And i let those weeds stay, against my better judgement, and all the flowers died. Withered away slowly until they became dust. Thats what has happened to us, we let the weeds grow thinking they were just giving us character. But they sucked us dry Chris, they have left us thirsty for what we had before, love. I know we can get that back Chris i just know it! we just have to pick the weeds growing in this garden.
Chris Sr.- What if i like those weeds?
Marie- Dont say that...
Chris Sr.- Well im gonna say that, Mary. Because i cant deal with this anymore. Were just to far gone. I have spent my life Working to provide for my family, And this isnt what ive worked for. (exit)
(to the door)
Marie- Oh Chris, Please if theirs any love left in your heart please come back to me. Please dont do this to us, dont do this to the kids . (crying) What can i say to the kids...
