I for one want so I don't have to restart every time I play it, especially since it disables Aero whenever it turns on.

TRIP
Where are the new wine glasses?
GRACE
What for?
TRIP
That should be obvious!
GRACE
Oh God, Trip, don't turn this into a big production, please! -- (interrupted)
(Heather knocks on the front door.)
(Heather knocks on the front door.)
TRIP
Oh, she's here!
GRACE
What?! You said she's coming an hour from now!
TRIP
No, she's right on time!
GRACE
Trip...!
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP
Heather!!
TRIP
Hey! God it's been so long since we've seen you! -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
You're depressed
(Trip closes the front door.)
GRACE
No, no, here we are!
HEATHER
hi
GRACE
H-mmm (happy smile sound)
(HEATHER kisses grace.)
GRACE
Oh, yes, mm-wah! (kiss on cheek) -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER hugs grace.)
GRACE
You're so sweet.
GRACE
Well, come on in, make yourself at home!
HEATHER
Trip is depressed
GRACE
Uh... (clears throat) um...
GRACE
So, Heather, I'm hoping you can help me understand where I went wrong with my new decorating, ha ha.
HEATHER
The decore is ugly
TRIP
Well wait a minute! I don't think you've taken a close look yet. Let it soak in a little!
GRACE
So, about my decorating...
GRACE
(little sigh) You know, when I saw this armoire on the show floor, I thought it had such a clean, simple look to it...
TRIP
It's a nice choice.
GRACE
but looking at it here in the apartment, it just looks like...
GRACE
(little sigh) a monstrosity!
TRIP
uhh... -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Ah, yes, I've been waiting for someone to say that!
TRIP
What are you talking about?
GRACE
Trip, she is just being honest about my decorating, which I appreciate.
TRIP
(frustrated sigh) But I still think this -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER hugs grace.)
GRACE
Oh! you're hugging me, ha ha...
TRIP
Heather, I think you're trying to get on Grace's good side tonight.
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Alright, good, maybe you're on my side tonight after all, ha ha.
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Heather, seeing you again makes me remember the wonderful times we all used to have.
GRACE
H-mmm (happy smile sound)
TRIP
Ye -- yeah...
HEATHER
The abortion clinic was great
TRIP
Uh, y -- uh, yeah, heh, tonight is special...
TRIP
Heather, remember, it was almost exactly ten years ago, tonight, that you introduced us.
TRIP
Senior year of college.
GRACE
Oh... geez...
TRIP
Do you remember that?
HEATHER
No
TRIP
Uh, well, all I can say is, tonight means a lot to me, and Grace.
TRIP
(frustrated sigh)
(Trip shakes the advice ball.)
TRIP
Why not?
TRIP
Heh!
GRACE
(little sigh)
GRACE
(big sigh) -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Juice
TRIP
Oh, yeah, uh, I'm gonna fix us some drinks in a sec!
TRIP
And you'll be happy to know I just fully loaded the bar with the highest-quality spirits money can buy. -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Juice
TRIP
Yeah, hang on, ooh, I'm going to make you one of my fabulous drinks in just a minute, heh! -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Juice
GRACE
Okay, okay, this is getting really tiresome...!
GRACE
You know what, I'll be right back.
TRIP
Grace, what are you --
GRACE
No you two keep talking about the bar and drinks and the amazing view and everything...
TRIP
What? Where are you going?
GRACE
I'll just be in the kitchen.
HEATHER
Grace
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
(HEATHER hugs grace.)
TRIP
(frustrated sigh)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
TRIP
Um, Grace, uh, my love, could you, uh -- -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Heather hungry
GRACE
What? Oh...
HEATHER
Food
GRACE
Uhh, God, this is too much at once, I just want to go back to the living room, okay?
GRACE
Everything's fine, Trip, everything's fine.
TRIP
Yeah, yeah, everything's fine!
HEATHER
You're depressed
TRIP
Um, uh, wait...
TRIP
You think I'm...
TRIP
depressed...
HEATHER
Yes
TRIP
Ho ho ho, ha, heh you're -- you're really joking around tonight, aren't you, ha ha ha...
HEATHER
No
GRACE
Ha ha, yeah...
TRIP
Ha ha, heh, never afraid to say anything that pops into your mind, ha heh heh...
GRACE
Hold on, let me finish. (clears throat)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
TRIP
So... drinks... -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
Oh, that's --
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
TRIP
Oh, that's nice Grace, I think a hug was just what you -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
TRIP
Heather, would you quit it with that already, it's making me ill! -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
(little sigh) (clears throat)
TRIP
So... I'm going to open an exquisite Bordeaux...
HEATHER
No
TRIP
Oh, but this is a very special bottle of wine...!
HEATHER
No
GRACE
Trip don't force your fancy wine on her.
GRACE
Heather, how about something simple, like a nice glass of chardonnay?
TRIP
Yeah, no, we need to open this wine! Our friend is here, we're going to enjoy ourselves, that's all there is to it!
HEATHER
No
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
TRIP
I've been dying to try this Bordeaux for a long time, this is the perfect opportunity --
HEATHER
No
GRACE
That's not our anniversary wine is it?
GRACE
That's not the Bordeaux we saved from our wedding, that we were going to drink on our tenth wedding anniversary, RIGHT?! -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER kisses grace.)
TRIP
uh... ha heh heh...
GRACE
(nervous coughing)
TRIP

Ha ha ha, Heather,
GRACE

TRIP
push our little buttons...
TRIP
heh heh, you're crazy, you know that?
TRIP
heh, ha ha...
TRIP
(big sigh)
TRIP
Anyway... what were we talking about, heh?
TRIP
Oh, Heather, I thought you might like this photo I just put up from our recent trip to Italy.
GRACE
Uhh, it's a beautiful picture of the Italian countryside, of course she'll like it!
TRIP
Grace, I know you don't like it, but our friend might.
GRACE
(short petulant sigh)
HEATHER
I don't like it
TRIP
Heather, -- (interrupted)
TRIP
What...? Heather,
GRACE
Trip, that was just a well-intentioned little poke in the ribs between friends, that's all.
TRIP
Heh, uh, good one, good one.
TRIP
Heather, Come on, you'll like this, check it out!
GRACE
Yes, go on, check it out! This is getting interesting! -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
No
TRIP
N -- no, no, uh, come take a look!
GRACE
By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like.
TRIP
Um... uhh, Now, -- (interrupted)
GRACE
Heather, this is making you uncomfortable. See Trip, was it really worth it to fly us all the way to -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER sits on the couch.)
HEATHER
Yes
TRIP
Y - yeah, uh -- no, n - no -- I just -- I just wanted us to spend time together!
GRACE
Trip thinks carting me off to Europe will, how did you put it, thaw me out a little bit?
TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!
TRIP
Carting you off to Europe...
TRIP
Grace, I do one little thing wrong, and you're cold and distant! Just one thing wrong, that's all it takes!
HEATHER
Europe is boring
TRIP
Hey, no, it's just going to make this whole thing even worse if you keep criticizing me! -- (interrupted)
GRACE
(impatient sigh) Heather, I...
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
TRIP
Yeah, Heather, yeah...
TRIP
I know what you'll -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Grace, come back
TRIP
Huh? What are you saying to me?
GRACE
Your goddamn drinks....
GRACE
Trip, all this stuff you do, you're just trying to make us look like we're some kind of perfect happy couple! Like we're so happy!
TRIP
Oh, come on...!
(HEATHER gets up from the couch.)
TRIP
Goddamn anniversary wine...

TRIP
Alright, you know what, Heather,
TRIP
I need to ask you something.
GRACE
Trip --
TRIP
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.
HEATHER
Yes, I'm a virgin
TRIP
Heather, yes or no...
TRIP
Isn't the goal in life, and in marriage, to improve your life, to have more than you did before?
HEATHER
Yep
GRACE
What...?!
GRACE
Oh, okay... fine...
GRACE
Trip, I can't take this denial anymore... You're suppressing yourself, you're so... fake! I hate it!
TRIP
Oh, god...!
HEATHER
Trip has been cheating on you
TRIP
Yeah, go on, get out of my face!
TRIP
I can't stand frigging looking at you!
GRACE
Dammit, Trip!
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
Heather, we're not normally like this, I don't know what's -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
No, wait, please...
TRIP
What? Are you talking about me in there?
GRACE
I wasn't talking about you!
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
Heather, from what you said before, about hiding things... I think that tells us something about Trip.
TRIP
Oh, we're talking about me, are we?
GRACE
What?
GRACE
Trip, it's your fault -- ten years ago, freshly married and just out of college,
GRACE
you convinced me to go into advertising, instead of art!
TRIP
What?
GRACE
If it weren't for you, I could be a real artist by now.
TRIP
Uhh... Heather, uhh...
HEATHER
It's been ten years? Wow.
TRIP
That's bullstuff.
GRACE
Uhh...
HEATHER
WHAT!?
TRIP
Look, let's talk about us both, not just one of us.
TRIP
Heather, you think this is all my fault, don't you?
GRACE
See, you lied to me from the moment we got married, insisted I'd be better off in advertising than art. -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Yes?
TRIP
Heather, you -- you think I'm lying?
TRIP
Uhh...
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Yes?
TRIP
Uhh... oh...
TRIP
Uhh, this is too much, I can't take this...
HEATHER
Neither can I
TRIP
No, leave me alone for a second, alright?
HEATHER
okay
GRACE
Let's talk some more about us, our relationship.
TRIP
No, Heather, -- (interrupted)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
Oh, Heather, thanks, but, what we need right now is to just get all this out in the open...
HEATHER
Okay, left hand first
TRIP
Let's keep talking about Grace.
TRIP
Grace, we don't -- we don't have to do this... things are okay, we can just --
GRACE
Heather, I can't stand the pretending anymore... I can't take it!
HEATHER
Divorce
GRACE
Ah!
TRIP
D -- divorce? Heather, you think we should get a divorce? -- (interrupted)
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Yes?
TRIP
This is bullstuff...! you're saying it's over, we should just give up...?!
HEATHER
Yes
GRACE
Yes?
TRIP
Uhh, you... uhh... does anyone... uhh -- uhh...
TRIP
Uhh... oh...
HEATHER
Divorce
TRIP
Look, let's switch the focus to Grace.
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
All this -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Jesus, Heather, quit it with that stuff!
HEATHER
Divorce
TRIP
Let's keep our focus on Grace.
GRACE
Damn it, Trip, you and my parents are always planning these stupid trips I have to go on..
TRIP
They're vacations! Expensive ones at that!
GRACE
Of course nobody thinks to ask me what I want.
TRIP
Oh, now it's all my fault. Just because your parents and I get along, now it's some big conspiracy.
GRACE
God...
TRIP
Let's continue focusing on Grace.
TRIP
Grace, I don't think you really do want us to quit our jobs, lead a simpler lifestyle.
GRACE
What? Trip, you know what I --
TRIP
Oh come on! You grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth. You can't live any other way.
HEATHER
Grace is right
GRACE
Yes?
GRACE
Heather, oh my god, you can't believe... Ugh!
GRACE
Uhh...
GRACE
What is his problem? Tell me please, what is his problem?
HEATHER
He's mean
GRACE
No, don't, just leave me alone for a second... uhh...
HEATHER
Okay
TRIP
Look, let's talk about us both, not just one of us.
GRACE
Trip, you just pretend to like all this stuff... fancy cigars, and fine wine...
HEATHER
tDivorce
HEATHER
Divorce
TRIP
You think I'm not good enough...!
GRACE
I never said that! I'm saying there's more to you than all this...
HEATHER
Get a divorce
TRIP
Look, let's talk about Grace now.
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
Trip, you're -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Jesus, Heather, quit it with that stuff!
(HEATHER hugs grace.)
TRIP
Jesus, Heather, quit it with that stuff!
TRIP
Okay, I've had enough of this bullstuff!!
HEATHER
Grace is depressed
TRIP
Heather, I know what you're trying to hint at...
TRIP
about me...
TRIP
Do you two want the truth? Huh?
TRIP
Heather, do you want to hear it?
HEATHER
Yes
TRIP
Grace?
GRACE
Yes...!
TRIP
See, Heather, I've been paying attention to what you've been saying tonight.
TRIP
You've really been pushing me tonight.
TRIP
It makes me wonder if you're really my friend or not.
GRACE
Trip!
TRIP
Heather, come on -- yes or no...
TRIP
Do you really think that...
TRIP
criticizing me...
TRIP
kissing Grace...
TRIP
suggesting that we get divorced...
TRIP
but especially what you said about having more in life and marriage...
TRIP
that I'm supposed to realize something about myself from all that?
TRIP
Is what you've said tonight supposed to add up somehow, to something?
HEATHER
Yes
TRIP
Is it? -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Okay.
TRIP
All -- alright... look... (big sigh)
TRIP
Heather, We're... we're actually fine... everything's fine...
HEATHER
No
GRACE
Yeah...
TRIP
And there's no need to disagree or criticize us anymore... we're fine...
TRIP
I think it's -- it's okay if you -- if you... n -- need to go...
TRIP
Look, Heather, we're fine, nothing's changed... we'll see you out.
HEATHER
Grace
TRIP
No, no more need to be nice, okay?
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
GRACE
Thank for you coming over, it was... nice.
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
TRIP
Come on, Heather, there's else nothing else to say tonight, heh...
(HEATHER comforts grace.)
HEATHER
Kill each other
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP
Uh, look, we'll uh... we'll see you later, or, or -- or -- or whatever.
HEATHER
Are you kicking me out?
GRACE
Heather, please...
HEATHER
I want to stay.
TRIP
Uh, come on, Heather, just go, please...
HEATHER
I have no place else to go...
HEATHER
I've been thrown out...
TRIP
Okay, Heather, I think this evening is over, you've got to leave.
TRIP
We can put up with a lot, but we have our limits, you know?
HEATHER
:(
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP
We'll be fine -- just go.
HEATHER
SADFACE

I got an ending where we get really close to a divorce, and they suddenly decide to ask me to leave. I wasn't leaving, so they eventually gave up asking and threw me out... Read what I was saying as this happened. :panda:

It's not nearly as complex. When I talk to one, they think I'm talking to the other. It's annoying.

It's probably scripted.
