Courtney: Yeah, I need a launch
right away. I'm at the docks right now. Thanks.
Man: They got a good lunch
special over at kelly'S. Want to come with?
Jason: No, I'm going to grab
something at home. Thanks.
Man: Lunch with the little woman?
I remember those days -- no, I don'T.
Jason: It's courtney, right?
Courtney: Yeah, hi, jason. Wow.
You got a regular job.
Jason: On the docks running the
sea-land crane.
Courtney: How do you like it?
Jason: It's ok so far.
Courtney: Well, you look happy.
Anyway -- I'm glad that you're feeling better.
[Jason has a flashback of
Courtney crying during Dinner Date 2]
Courtney: What is it?
Jason: Did I make you cry?
Jason: It was just a flash, an
image of you crying.
Courtney: Yeah. That was a long
time ago.
Jason: Look, I'm sorry. These
little flashes of memory are really all I have to go on. I'm just trying to,
you know, connect them to my life somehow, so --
Courtney: Ok. Well, I mean, what
do you need to know?
Jason: We were married, right?
Courtney: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Jason: Why did we get divorced?
Courtney: Well, I guess -- I
guess in the end we just weren't compatible. I mean, I couldn't handle your
work and, I don't know, every time we disagreed, you just seemed to shut down a
little more. But you weren't mean ever. Really, you weren'T. You just -- I
don't know, you just kept pulling further and further away until there was
really nothing left to keep us together. Anyway, I think that we might have
stayed together if -- if our baby had lived.
Jason: We had a -- we had a baby?
Courtney: Yeah, I miscarried in
the first trimester. And because of the circumstances, I can't have children
anymore.
Jason: Was it anything I did?
Courtney: No, no. God, no, not at
all. No. You didn't even know that I was pregnant until after I miscarried, and
you really did. You tried to be supportive, but you weren't emotionally
invested, so you didn't really feel the same sense of loss. Anyway, it was just
a big mess.
[Motorboat approaches]
Courtney: I don't know, we
probably would've broken up anyway.
Jason: Why?
Courtney: You know, things
change. People change.
Jason: I made you cry again.
Courtney: No, I'm fine. There's
the launch. [she leaves]
