– I just don’t think we should
see each other any more.
– Really?
– Yeah.
I’m sorry.
– Why? What’s the matter?
– There’s just something missing
for me and I don’t know what.
– What do you mean?
– Something missing from me?
– Yes.
– What do you mean? Like what?
– Like…
– Can you say what is missing from me?
– No. Maybe if you could guess
a few things, I could try.
– What do you mean? Can you tell me?
– I don’t know what’s missing.
– Is it personality or looks?
– Well, no.
– Am I not smart enough?
– No.
– Because I’m not…
– No.
– It has nothing to do with height?
– It has nothing to do
with the fact you’re short
or the fact that you’re not bright enough.
Nothing to do with the fact
that your teeth are in bad shape.
– So what, then? I don’t understand.
Has it got to do with…
It’s not my personality.
Do you have fun when you’re with me?
– No… But it’s not that.
It’s not that I don’t have fun with you…
– We have fun when we laugh. Don’t tell me that we haven’t laughed.
It’s not that we haven’t laughed.
– Certainly I laugh a lot.
– Sometimes you don’t laugh and…
– I can’t put my finger on it.
– Something’s missing.
– What? Can you be specific?
– The relationship isn’t going anywhere.
– Where do you want to it go?
– Where could we get it to go?
– That’s not… I don’t know where.
I love you.
I mean, I love you and you love me.
– No. And it’s not because I don’t love you.
– Then you love me?
– No, I don’t.
– That’s what I mean…
– But that’s not why.
– Something is missing.
– I need a very strong man.
– I’m strong.– I need a leader.
– I have all the qualities of leadership.
– I’m interested
in so many vital political things.
– Me, too. That binds us together.
– I wanna work with pygmies in Africa.
– I wanna work with lepers
on a leper colony.
– No, that’s perfectly Ok.
– I love leprosy. If that’s what you’re
asking me. I’m perfectly willing…
I like leprosy. I like cholera.
I like all the major skin diseases.
– You’re immature, Fielding.
– How am I immature?
– Emotionally, sexually and intellectually.
– Yeah, but what other ways?– Maybe it’s my fault.
– Maybe I just can’t give.
– Why don’t you receive? I’ll give.
– I’m not ready to receive.
– Then you give and I’ll receive.
– I can’t receive…
– I’m a person who can only receive
if another is giving.
– I can’t give. I’m sorry.
– If we each receive, it might work.
– I can’t. My trouble is I’m receiving
and I’m not able to give or receive.
– I would give if you could receive.
– I don’t know how I can help you.
– If we both receive or both give…
– I can’t receive and I can’t give.
– It’s not going to work out.
It’s no use, Fielding. I’m sorry.
Goodbye. I’m sorry if I hurt you.
– Don’t worry about me, sweetheart.
I’m like a cat.
I’ll always wind up on my feet.
