Grace stayed behind in the hotel room when I was out taking this picture, so...
JOHN

TRIP

(JOHN kisses grace.)
TRIP
Okay, you know what, John,
TRIP
I'm going to ask you something.
GRACE
Trip --
TRIP
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.
TRIP
John, yes or no...
TRIP
Each person in a marriage is supposed to try really hard to be _in sync_ with the other, right?
GRACE

TRIP
I mean, when you're married, to -- (interrupted)
JOHN

TRIP
John, this has never ever happened before...!
TRIP

TRIP
Look, you -- you probably want to get out of here...
TRIP
Oh, Jesus... Christ...
GRACE
What? Are you trying to talk to me?
JOHN

GRACE
John, from what you said before, about forgiving... I think that shows us something about Trip.
TRIP
Oh, we're talking about me again, are we?
GRACE
What?
GRACE
John, it's time that Trip finally just admits that our marriage --
TRIP
Grace, don't, no, you don't need to --
GRACE
Admits that our marriage is not --
TRIP
Stop it, stop it! (annoyed sigh)
JOHN

TRIP
No don't criticize me anymore, it's just going to turn this even more ugly!
GRACE
Let's talk some more about Trip.
TRIP
It's so annoying... you know lately I've been really trying to spend more time together...
TRIP
No? -- (interrupted)
JOHN

GRACE
Trip, that's not going to solve anything...
TRIP
Uhh...
GRACE
John, I mean, is there something I should do...?
JOHN

GRACE
Let's keep talking about Trip.
TRIP
Grace, you know I've never wanted anyone but you...
GRACE
No?
TRIP
N -- no...! John, I, I -- I mean, no... heh...
JOHN
I want grace
GRACE
Well... uhh... this is the first time you've actually come out and said that, Trip.
GRACE

GRACE
Trip...
TRIP
Heh... I mean... I -- I just think back to that Christmas Eve I proposed to her...
GRACE
John, we... uhh...
JOHN
I want to marry you
GRACE
Look, if we're going to talk about marriage, all I can say is, it doesn't turn out the way you expect it to.
TRIP
Grace...
GRACE
I'm not saying marriage is a bad idea or something, I'm just... saying I think it's hard to predict what it will actually be like...
JOHN

TRIP
Grace, no... -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Look, just quit the flirting right now, I'm warning you!
TRIP
Let's keep our focus on Grace.

TRIP
Okay, John, you know what? I think you should leave.
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP
We'll be fine -- just go.
