American Dreamz2006

Jessica:
[Opening Lines] [after Martin receives a fax showing American Dreamz as the top rated show] How are the numbers?

Martin Tweed:
Incredible. [chuckles] Absolutely incredible.

Jessica:
Congratulations. [pause] I'm leaving you. [long pause] Did you hear what I said? I'm leaving you.

Martin Tweed:
[still staring at the fax] Yeah, I heard. Yeah, Yeah

Jessica:
I'm not kidding.

Martin Tweed:
I know. [turns and walks toward her] Look, I think it's an excellent decision on your part.

Jessica:
You do?

Martin Tweed:
You're a fantastic person and the last year's been really great. You're beautiful. The sex has been wonderful. You're kind and supportive. You wait for me with dinner when I work late: you're amazing. And it's driving me out of my *f***ing* mind. [she stares in disbelief] You know, with numbers like this, this should be the happiest day of my life and instead i have to worry about whether I make *you* happy all the time! [pause, her lip quivers] Jessica, sweetheart, you make me feel like being a better person. And I'm not a better person. I'm me.

Jessica:
[teary-eyed as she walks away] I feel sorry for you.

Martin Tweed:
Don't. I certainly don't. In fact, I envy myself deeply.
