Scenes from a marriage - Across the Distance

Scene: Fernando is playing Word of Warcraft at his computer in the corner of the living room. I'm sitting on the sofa listening to Diane Birch and reading email.


Fernando - I like it when you play music while I'm playing [at his computer.]

Mabel - Why?

F - Because it's romantic. All these years I've been trying to teach you about romance.

M - Because the music connects us across the great space of the living room?

F - Exactly. It's what I've been trying to teach you. It's so hard to teach someone who doesn't want to learn.
