I ended up taking the nine o'clock.
JONATHAN: Fantastic!
Ava's gonna be thrilled.
I told her she wouldn't see you until after school tomorrow.
Oh, yeah. How's she been sleeping?
You'll do pick-up in the morning? Yeah?
Uh, she's sleeping great. That rain app you got is genius.

-Why? -(WINE POURING)
No, 'cause I tried to get, uh, lunch with Peter the other day.
I had some free time, and just, I feel like he's avoiding me.
He's just been blowing me off the last couple months.
Did you ask him why?
I tried to. He just mumbled something
about it being a busy time.
It's not like him, he's usually really excited
to brag about his latest adventures.
Well, maybe he's just stressed at work.
Yeah.

Oh, no, that was nothing. No.

So, anyway, I-- (SIGHS)

that you suddenly don't care what part of the house is like--
I'm sorry, I'm doing it again, I'm blaming you.
-It's okay, you can. -JONATHAN: No, no, no. I...
All I'm saying is that it is fine for me
to come back downstairs, okay?
I will move the desk myself...

I fell in love with someone.
It sounds stupid. It's so stupid.
(SIGHS) Maybe, maybe it's stupid. I don't know.
I met him in September, uh, in, uh, San Francisco.
He's the CEO of an Israeli startup
that we're buying out. He-- he's...
Israeli, from Tel Aviv.
He will be relocating out here at some point. I mean, not...
exactly here, it'll probably be the New York office,
but I don't-- I don't know which city it's going to be,
but either way, he will be... (CLEARS THROAT)
...moving to the States.
He's not someone you would think too highly of, I bet.
He's not really an intellectual. You'd probably, I don't know...
make fun of him. (EXHALES HEAVILY)

I felt terrible about it.
But it was good for me. (CLEARS THROAT)

Please, say something. Please.
What do you want me to say?
MIRA: I know it's unforgivable
that I didn't tell you about it earlier.
I mean, I just-- I couldn't. And, um...
I didn't know what was gonna happen.
I guess I thought that you would find out
on your own at some point.
How was I supposed to find out?
MIRA: I don't know. You didn't...
(CLEARS THROAT)
Haven't... You didn't feel anything?
No.

And you're gonna keep doing it?
I don't know.
Yes.

So why are you telling me right now?
MIRA: I don't-- I thought you should know.
JONATHAN: Why are you telling me tonight?
-Why-- -I'm going to Tel Aviv,
uh, with him, tomorrow night.
-JONATHAN: What-- -I have to go. I have to go.
Just for a little bit. I don't know for how long, and...
I'm gonna talk to Ava in the morning,
and I'm gonna tell her that, um, I have to go away for work,
which is true. I...
Someone has to oversee the transition.
(SIGHS) Ackerman and I spoke,
and we both agreed that I would go-- I would do it.
So I am leaving tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. from JFK.
What do you-- why does Ackerman need you to leave tomorrow?
MIRA: No, it's not Ack-- It's not about him.
It's because Poli's go--
What?
That's his name. It's, um...
short for Poliakov, his first name's Saul,
but everyone just calls him Poli.
He's going tomorrow. I'm gonna go with him, so...

You already bought a ticket?

now that I'm in this house, it's, uh...

it's really surreal. It's...
But at least now you know. Now you know.

You can pick it up yourself in the morning.
Yeah. I'm not sure I'll have time.
I wanna be with Ava until I drop her off at preschool,
and then I have to run to a meeting,
but it's okay. Never mind.
How long are you going for?
MIRA: I don't know. It depends.
JONATHAN: On-- on what? Is it something that you're...
-still trying to figure out? -Three months.
JONATHAN: I see.
Okay.
And, uh...
What about Ava? Have you thought about...
I'll see her every other weekend.
-Got it in the contract. -JONATHAN: You will?
It'll be a long weekend, Friday to Sunday, so...
Flight's 11 hours, not the end of the world.
I'll get a hotel nearby and she can stay with me.
And then there's Skype and there's FaceTime,
I mean, we-- I could talk to her every night.
It's a seven-hour time difference,
so when she gets home from preschool,
I'll be home from work.
People do this. I won't be the first,
or the last. Men do it all the time,
and then, you know, it's not really a big deal, so...
JONATHAN: Okay. As long as you've convinced yourself.
I don't care if I'm convincing anyone.
I don't give a shit. You can think I'm a monster,
think whatever the fuck you want, I don't care!

-So in four months? -MIRA: When I get back,
we will, you know, set something up in advance
with a couples therapist or a mediator,
and we'll-- we'll start some sort of process.
JONATHAN: A process of what?
MIRA: Of detachment.
Detachment? What the fuck is detachment?
It's a separation.
You want a divorce?
Maybe. I think so.
But we don't have to do it right away. I think it's best...
that it's gradual,
-so that Ava isn't... -(JONATHAN SCOFFS)
Yeah. Gradual, gradual. You're leaving her overnight.
-I'm not leaving her. -JONATHAN: Really gradual.
Don't say that. I'm leaving you. I'm not leaving her.
Yeah. Try explaining that to her.
MIRA: I will. I'm gonna tell her
that I'll see her in less than two weeks from today,
and-- and, you know, when I'm back from this trip,
we're gonna be together a lot, you know, all the time.
(CHUCKLES) All the time.
I mean, maybe the three of us can start this process,
you know, over Skype with a family counselor--
I'm not really interested in going along with your process.
MIRA: Okay, fine.
-We won't do it. -Good.
Whatever you want. I mean, I can't force you
to do anything, so...
I'm just gonna take some clothes.
That's all I need. And of course, I'll pay
for all of the help that you need, obviously.
-Okay. Thank you. -MIRA: You don't need to worry
-about anything. -Sounds great.
MIRA: When I get back, we can talk about the rest,
but I'm sure we'll work it out.
I don't wanna fight you, Jonathan. I just wanna leave.
Okay. Well, you know what, if it's really that urgent,
why don't you just leave right now? Go ahead.
Leave if it's so urgent for you, just-- you can leave right now.
Urgent? Do you know how long I've wanted to leave?
JONATHAN: I'm not really interested in knowing.
Every day for eight months, every morning,
I've woken up with the knowledge that I cannot be here anymore.
That I have to go.
But I didn't go. I stayed.
So don't talk to me about urgent.
I fought this for months. You were so busy
with your own anger, you didn't even notice.
What? What-- what-- what did I not notice?
That I was miserable.
(PANTS)
And we never even talked about it.
The abortion? We...
we talked about it for days. We...
-It's what you wanted. -I know.
I thought that it was going to protect what we had.
It was for us.
And then Kate saw that I was in bad shape,
so she took me to dinner, she set me straight.
She was like, "Who has an abortion
to save their marriage?
What kind of marriage needs an abortion to save it?"
(BREATHES HEAVILY)

It was the other way around.
I was terrified that if I had another kid...
then I could never leave.

Why didn't you talk to me about it?
MIRA: I couldn't. You couldn't either.

you couldn't even admit that you were angry.
How were we supposed to talk about anything?
Okay.
Let's talk about it right now.
-MIRA: No. -Let's talk.
-It's too late. -JONATHAN: Come on, let's talk.
Jonathan, it's too late. It's too late.
JONATHAN: Mira. Mira, I know that I've...
I've made my fair share of mistakes, okay? And I take
-responsibility for that. -No.
No. No, no, don't go there.
-On this position, I-- -MIRA: You don't have any responsibility.
You didn't make any mistakes,
and I didn't any mistakes, and...
(SIGHS) ...we're not gonna get into blame because if...
we do that, I will go crazy.
So this isn't anyone's fault.
It's just the way that it is.
This is the way that it is?
-What the fuck is that? -MIRA: Yeah, it's the way that it is.
It happens to everyone. It's so predictable,
it's practically a cliché.
I mean, so let's not get into the blame game
or where we went wrong and all that,
-because it's not about that. -What is it about?
I'm trying to explain to you, but you keep trying
to figure out where you went wrong,
what this has to do with you, but it's not about you.
-JONATHAN: Okay. -It's not.
Well then, tell me. What is it? What is it about?
MIRA: I don't know how.
I mean, can you understand what it means to feel like...
like I'm lying here at night and I...
just feeling like I'm...
I had a crazy thought the other night where I just...
I thought of checking my own pulse
to see if I was still alive.
Can you understand that?
Like there's no oxygen, like you can't breathe.
-Do you under-- -Yeah, yeah. That I--
-That I can understand. -Yeah, well, yeah.
Of course you can. So imagine like a constant asthma attack.
Entire days...
where you just feel...
suffocated,
and the whole time, I'm just thinking...
"Is this it?" It's like...
Is this all I'm gonna have? Just like...
this?
Without any...
feeling?
Without feeling?
When you're in this house, you don't--
-No. -You don't feel anything?
That's not what I meant.
I love Ava so much, and I...
I love you.
I didn't even know what the problem was
until this happened, and...
then I remembered what it was like, and now I...
I can't go back.
You can go back. You can,
-you just don't want to. -No, I can't.
I can't. I tried a hundred times.
Believe me, I tried.
Over and over. I can't do it.
I know you think I'm spoiled and I'm pathetic.
Look, I don't think that. I don't know why you--
Well, maybe I do.
(SIGHS)
I thought I was better than this but I guess I'm not.
Mira, please, this is bullshit and you know it.
-No, I don't. -(SIGHS)
I mean, you've known me forever.
How long did you think that we could just, like...
go on like this? Just...
living without any...
JONATHAN: What? Without what?
I don't know, just...
-Passion. -JONATHAN: Uh-huh.
-I hate that word. It's-- -Right.
It's-- it's really-- it's embarrassing,
it sounds pathetic, but, you know...
that's, uh...
-Who is he? -(EXHALES)
What?
JONATHAN: The guy.
I wanna hear about him.
Why? What good would that do?
I wanna know.
Why? Why do you wanna torture yourself?
Do you have a picture of him? Of course you do.
-Can I see it? -Jonathan, no.
-Please, let's not do this. -Please?
-Not right now. Don't-- -Yes, yes, right now. Right now.
I'm asking to see a picture.
Okay.

So, how did it happen?
What do you wanna know?
JONATHAN: How it happened.
He walked up to me and...
he told me that he liked the way that I was dancing.
JONATHAN: Since when do you dance?
I haven't in a long time.
But there was, uh...
I'd had a lot to drink, and there--
and there was a lot of coke there. So, yeah.
(INHALES) I was dancing and, um,
he came over.
Mm-hmm. And?
And...
he said that I was the first...
American woman he had met
who wasn't constantly trying to please everyone,
who didn't need to be liked.
JONATHAN: Hmm.
MIRA: And then we talked until 2:00 in the morning.
And then what?
And...
then we kissed.
And then, um...
(SIGHS)
...we went up to the room.
His room?
MIRA: No, my room.
Your room, okay.
And then what?
-Honey. -JONATHAN: Just tell me.
It was mostly funny at first.
-It was funny? -MIRA: Yeah.
Um, I was just-- I was laughing hysterically.
It was really awkward, and... (SIGHS)
But it was also liberating...
to laugh like that.
JONATHAN: Mm-hmm.
MIRA: And then we didn't leave the room for two days.
I told, uh, everyone I was sick.
I-- I told you that too.
And then I came back and I...
prayed that you couldn't see it on me, but you were...
you were just so happy to see me happy again,
and calm, and...
We started having sex again too.
Yeah.
-JONATHAN: Does he know that? -No.
Every day, I told myself it had to stop, every day.
I couldn't do it.
(SNIFFLES) And I even told him, I told him I wanted out, but...
I couldn't go through with it.
He wouldn't let me go. (SNIFFLES)
-JONATHAN: You can still end it. -Uh-uh.
-JONATHAN: You just don't want to, Mira. -I can't.
-JONATHAN: You can. -I can't. I'm in love with him.
-You're in love with him. You're in love with him. -MIRA: I'm happy with him.
-Yeah. I'm in love with him. -Okay.
And he's good for me.
I am-- I'm happy again.
You've seen that. I mean,
even people at the office have said
that I'm finally like myself again.
I'm so vibrant, and...
even Ava. I'm--
I mean, you saw how we got-- we got so close,
and it's like suddenly I--
I had so much patience for her.
I'm not-- Honey, I'm not saying this to try to hurt you.
I'm just trying to explain, like, why I can't give it up.
If I-- I'm gonna go out of my mind
-if I don't leave right now. -Right now?
-Like, right this second? -MIRA: Yeah.
If I don't leave right now, I know I'm never going to.
(BREATHING SHAKILY) So...
I just-- I wish you could like listen to yourself for a second
'cause if you could, you'd think you're nuts.
No, don't patronize me. -It's crazy.
I'm not trying to patronize you, I'm not.
I'm just telling you that this is not you.
-MIRA: It is me. -You don't talk like this.
-It's absolutely me. -JONATHAN: It's not you.
You're not this person. You don't do shit like this.
Just without thinking.
It's insanity, what you're doing.
-It's not insanity. It's me. -It's gonna leave you--
It's me! If you think it isn't, you haven't been listening to me all this time.
I'm listening. I'm listening, and I'm trying to understand.
-I'm trying. Believe me. I'm trying to understand, okay? -MIRA: No, you understand.
You understand. You're just trying to convince me to stay,
-and I don't wanna be convinced. -All I'm asking for you
-is to postpone the trip... -No.
-...for a few weeks. -I can't.
Just-- Yes, you can, you can. It's more than reasonable
for me to ask you to do that.
If it's really meant to be with this guy,
a few weeks is not gonna make any difference.
You need to think about Ava for a second,
if not about me.
-Don't say that. Please don't. -JONATHAN: What?
What exactly do you think is gonna happen here
every day and every night while you're gone?
Have you thought about that?
-Will you think about that? -MIRA: I think that you...
are the best dad in the world, and I think that I'm...
(SOBS) I just...
(BREATHES SHAKILY)
It's gonna be the best for her too.
JONATHAN: How could you-- how could you possibly say that?

We can survive this.
We can get through it.
We can talk. We know how to talk to each other.
MIRA: You'll never forgive me.
(SNIFFLES)
I think I can.
We can...
I think we can...
we can get through it together. We can...
go to therapy. We'll, you know,
maybe it'll bring us closer together.
(SNIFFLES)
JONATHAN: We have something so real between us,
something so big.
You've been so good for me, honey,
and I know that I've been good for you.
-I know I have. -You have.
Then let's not just blow it all up in an instant.
Okay? Just think about that.
-It won't work. -JONATHAN: Why? Why--
How-- how can you be so sure?
Because it ended so long ago.
Okay. You-- Listen,
you have to give me a chance here.
You have to give me a chance. You can't just...
This is cruel, doing it like this overnight.
You know, I...
-I don't deserve this. -No, you deserve so much more.
I'm telling you, honey, I really think
that this is gonna be the best for you too.
-What? -Yeah. You...
you think that you're gonna be lonely
like you were before, but I'm telling you,
honey, you're not that guy anymore.
You have Ava now
and it's really-- it's gonna be good for you.
I mean, you're not happy with me like this.
You haven't been for a long time.
I mean, there's no way you haven't felt that.
-(CRIES) -Don't-- don't--
don't tell me what I feel.
I thought everything was okay. Don't put that on me.

-No, I got it. -Let me help you.
Okay. I'll take some stuff out, it's fine.
Let me do it. Let me do it. It'll just take a second.
It'll just take a minute.
(SIGHS)
(CLATTERING)
Let's just move this.
MIRA: Okay. That's good. That's enough.
Jonathan, please don't--
-Just-- It'll take a minute. -Don't do this.
It's gonna just take a minute, you're gonna rip it.
-Give me one second. -Let-- Okay, stop it.
-No! I don't want you-- -JONATHAN: Stop. It'll just be a minute.

Thanks.

I can't do it.
I can't wake her up.
(POURING)
Well, let's just get through the morning and...
we'll see, you know, maybe...
we could talk to her together. (CLEARS THROAT)
Just-- just do everything gradually. (CLEARS THROAT)

Calm down, calm down...
Have you seen my, uh...
the carry-on that I came back with?
JONATHAN: Mira, will you just sit down for a second?
You know, I'm gonna pick-- pick her up today after school.
Um, yeah, I'll have time before the flight.
I could-- I'll take her to Vaniglia,
maybe I'll talk to her there, and then you could meet us
-to take her home. -JONATHAN: Veronica's already
planning to pick her up from school today.
It's okay, I'll call her. I'll tell her everything
-so that way you don't have to-- -Where are you going?
-It's 7:00 in the morning. -MIRA: Uh, to the office.
I called a car.
It's-- The office is still closed.
MIRA: Well, I've got a key.
Will you please just listen for a second?
(SIGHS) What?
JONATHAN: This is, uh, it's just surreal.
-It's delusional. -Yeah, I know.
Then, no. No, I don't accept it.
We're gonna sit here and we're gonna talk
as long as it takes, okay?
-MIRA: We talked last night. -No. No, we yelled at each other
for an hour, that was-- that's not the same thing.
MIRA: It's not gonna do any good. I mean--
It's not gonna do any-- What is this? What is this thing
-where we can't talk to each other, Mira? -(PHONE BUZZES)
I want to talk to you, and
-you don't want to talk to me. -No, you don't want to talk to me.
-What kind of cruelty is that? -You want to keep me here at all costs.
I want to talk to you. I want to...
I want to sit here 'till there's smoke coming out of our ears
and we've-- we've gone through all of--
all of the angles and figure out where we went wrong
and how we can fix it.
I'm not attracted to you anymore.
How do you fix that?

Mira.
Jonathan, please, let me go, please.
(CRIES) Please.

PETER: Hey, Jonathan.
-Hey, Peter. -PETER: Hey!
How's it going? Um, can you put Kate on
for a moment? She's not answering the phone.
PETER: Sure. Is anything wrong?
No, I'll talk to you in a second, just--
Could you-- could you put her on?
PETER: Uh, sure. Uh, just a second.
-Thanks. -PETER: Hold on.
-KATE: Good morning. -Kate, hey, good morning.
KATE: Good morning.
Hey, so, listen, um, look, I-- I know that, um,
-that you know... -KATE: Know what?
...about the whole thing with Mira.
KATE: Oh.
-Kate? -KATE: Um, I'm sorry, Jonathan.
No, no, Kate, Kate, hey, hey, it's-- it's okay.
I-- I understand, I know that you couldn't, and, um...
look, I just, uh-- (SIGHS)
So, basically, Mira just left.
-KATE: How do you mean? Like... -She, um...
She got in last night,
and she just left for the office,
and she's going to fly out to Tel Aviv...
tonight. Yes. And, uh...
KATE: I'm sorry, but if you two--
No, I-- I-- I--
I know that you don't wanna be put in the middle of this,
and I just-- I just need you to talk to her,
and-- and convince her that she needs
to postpone this trip just for a little bit,
-you know? (CHUCKLES) -KATE: Postpone...
Yeah, just for like a couple of weeks
so that we can talk about this calmly,
and, you know, maybe go to therapy,
and it's just-- it's insanity doing it like this overnight.
KATE: Well, she's not doing this...
Did-- did you try to talk to her?
KATE: Yes, I tried. But she wasn't really listening...
Then why didn't you tell me about it
before this thing turned into a fucking shit show?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Kate, Kate, I need-- I need you to--
(CLATTERING)
-PETER: Hey, Jon. -Hey, Peter.
PETER: Why don't we come over and then--
No, I don't-- I don't need you-- I don't need you to come over...
PETER: I can be there--
...because it's not gonna help at all.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Yeah, yeah, it is. It is.
By the way, how long have you known about this?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Fucking--
And it did not occur to you to let me know about this,
with all your "honesty" bullshit?
PETER: Look, Kate's the problem--
No, don't-- don't blame this on Kate. Don't blame it--
I-- I called you yesterday, man.
PETER: I didn't wanna hurt you.
You didn't wanna hurt me? Fuck you!
Fuck you! Fuck the both of you! You're both pathetic!
