[THE WIFE]
How about a country house?

[THE HUSBAND]
Fine

[THE WIFE]
You wanna get a country house?

[THE HUSBAND]
If you like

[THE WIFE]
What would you like?

[THE HUSBAND]
No, a country house would be fine

[THE WIFE]
Would you like one?

[THE HUSBAND]
Sure, if that would make you happy

[THE WIFE, spoken]
Swell
[THE HUSBAND]
Whatever makes you happy—

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
Yes, well... Why not?

[THE HUSBAND]
We'll get a country house
What kind?

[THE WIFE]
Kind?

[THE HUSBAND]
Whatever kind you have in mind

[THE WIFE]
You choose

[THE HUSBAND]
Look, it's your idea, a country house—

[THE WIFE]
Oh, forget it

[THE HUSBAND]
—And a good one
[THE WIFE]
Oh

[THE HUSBAND]
If that's what makes you happy

[THE WIFE]
Happy

[THE HUSBAND]
Comparatively happy

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
All right, where?

[THE HUSBAND]
I don't care

[THE WIFE]
That's not fair

[THE HUSBAND]
Well, then

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
Somewhere by the sea— (Somewhere in the woods—)
[THE HUSBAND]
By the sea, then

[THE WIFE]
Don't agree just to agree

[THE HUSBAND]
Look, it's all the same to me

[THE WIFE]
Yes, I know

[THE HUSBAND]
Meaning—?

[THE WIFE]
Oh, let it go

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
Look, as long as we're together...

[THE HUSBAND]
How about a trip abroad?

[THE WIFE]
Let's

[THE HUSBAND]
We haven't had a trip abroad for years

[THE WIFE]
Not for ages

[THE HUSBAND]
Take a ship abroad, get away—

[THE WIFE]
Just the two of us

[THE HUSBAND]
A chance to be together

[THE WIFE]
That's the point

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
As long as it's together

[THE WIFE]
It's what we need, a trip abroad

[THE HUSBAND]
Where to?

[THE WIFE]
To?

[THE HUSBAND]
To London, Paris—?

[THE WIFE]
Somewhere new

[THE HUSBAND]
Up to you

[THE WIFE]
Around the world

[THE HUSBAND]
No, really

[THE WIFE]
'Round the world won't do?

[THE HUSBAND]
Where?

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
Let's not get into that one again (If that would make you happy—)

[THE HUSBAND]
No, really. Fine

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
"If that would make me happy" (If that would make you happy)

[THE WIFE]
It just might

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
All right, when?

[THE WIFE]
Name the day

[THE HUSBAND]
Just not May

[THE WIFE]
Why?

[THE HUSBAND]
The meeting in Atlanta

[THE WIFE]
Ah

[THE HUSBAND]
June? July?

[THE WIFE]
No, that's my benefit for ANTA

[THE HUSBAND, spoken]
So—?

[THE WIFE, spoken]
So—?

[THE HUSBAND]
It's enough to lend your name

[THE WIFE]
And you couldn't do the same?

[THE HUSBAND]
It's my board—

[THE WIFE]
Oh, dear Lord—

[THE HUSBAND]
—And they can't be ignored

[THE WIFE]
No, and you can't afford
To be bored with your Board
Can you?

[THE HUSBAND, spoken]
Well, so much for travel

[THE WIFE]
How about a friendly shrink?

[THE HUSBAND]
What?

[THE WIFE]
You want to see a friendly shrink?

[THE HUSBAND]
Why me?

[THE WIFE]
Us

[THE HUSBAND]
I think I'd rather have another drink—

[THE WIFE]
Okay, your turn

[THE HUSBAND]
But if that would make you happy...

[THE WIFE]
What?

[THE HUSBAND]
Joke:
If a shrink could make you happy

[THE WIFE, spoken]
Oh, nice joke

[THE WIFE]
How about a St. Bernard?

[THE HUSBAND]
What?

[THE WIFE]
We could adopt a St. Bernard

[THE HUSBAND]
In New York?
Are you serious, a St. Bernard?

[THE WIFE]
Or a child

[THE HUSBAND, spoken]
Ah, the child

[THE WIFE & THE HUSBAND]
All right, why?

[THE WIFE]
Why not?

[THE HUSBAND]
Why now?

[THE WIFE]
We need something we can share

[THE HUSBAND]
We need air

[THE WIFE]
We need something—

[THE HUSBAND]
We need something if it's real

[THE WIFE]
Maybe saying what we feel?

[THE HUSBAND]
It's a deal

[THE WIFE]
For a change

[THE HUSBAND]
You go first

[THE WIFE]
After you

[THE HUSBAND]
I've got nothing to conceal
So there's nothing to reveal

[THE WIFE, spoken]
Oh, well, that's a great big weight off my mind

[THE HUSBAND]
I could take a few days off

[THE WIFE]
Maybe we could get a suite at the Waldorf...

[THE HUSBAND, spoken]
Mm...

[THE WIFE]
Just the two of us
Second honeymoon...

[THE HUSBAND]
Should be better than the first

[THE WIFE]
There are times when you can be a louse

[THE HUSBAND]
The hell, let's get a house
