Summary
Mel and Cindy are talking about getting a divorce.
“Do you think that will make them feel more secure?” asks Mel. “A broken home?”
“It’s better to come from a broken home,” says Cindy, “than to live in one.”
“You may be right,” says Mel. “And you may be right about me, too. I suppose I’m like a lot of men: a bigamist, married to both a woman and a job. ”
“And I can’t be Number Two wife any longer,” says Cindy. Mel’s intercom buzzes.
“Yes, Danny?” asks Mel.
“Patroni wants a skip loader,” says Danny.
“Get one from the parking lot,” says Mel. “We’ve got to get that plane out of there. And Danny – keep twenty niner clean so that it’ll be operational.”
Cindy walks behind Mel. “See?” asks Cindy, “That’s what I mean. Those things are more important to you than we are!”
“No, not more important,” says Mel, “but at the moment, more imperative. It just so happens we’re in a hell of a mess.”
Cindy shakes his head. “We certainly are!” says Cindy. She turns away.
“It’s a big step, Cindy,” says Mel. “You’re sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
