What are you getting out of this?
One night in bed? A used kiss?
A feeling of superiority? I saw that smile—
You haven’t enjoyed being with someone in a while.
You know, vaguely in the back of your mind, that I’ll do.
Isn’t it amusing what human advantage finally comes to?
I don’t know if I can do that with you.
You want me; but more:
You want agreement, you want me to agree
That you, in one hour and twenty five minutes, will be next to me
In a completely comfortable way
That’s not really comfortable. Your play
Has a number of acts, and when it ends—
Hero and heroine dead on the floor—
You want us to be friends.
