Adam - Iris is a good person.
Joan - [Whining] I know. It--ahem--it's just that her voice... drives me crazy. Heh heh.
Adam - It's her real voice. It drives me crazy, too.
Joan - (there is a long pause. Adam takes off her slipper He is being very gentle and protective of her sore foot, but he is avoiding her eyes) But you love her? Adam - I--I like her a lot. Joan - And you want me to like her, too? Adam - No. But I want you to like me. Joan - (another long pause, where Joan thinks about what Adam just said) Adam, I don't just like you. Adam - Heh. Yeah. Yeah, me, too. (He gently puts the slipper back on her foot) Good night, Jane. Adam leaves and Joan turns her head to her face is in profile of the camera.. There is a single tear running down her cheek.
