"How dare you Frank! You have no right to say that to me! You're a pitiful man!" Marie shouts at him from the kitchen.
"You're no picnic either, Marie. The only reason I stay is because you're such a good cook! You don't care!" Frank yells back.
"If you wanna go then go Frank! It's not as if there's anything holding you here. We might as well be sleeping in separate rooms. You never touch me unless it's out of anger when you grab me." Marie screams as she drops a plate of nachos on the coffee table.
"I'd touch you if you were attractive and less hostile Marie, but you're not the way you used to be!" Frank jumps out of his chair and goes into the kitchen.
"Course I'm not the same as I was Frank! I've raised two boys and had to put up with you for forty years! It's never been easy. We loved each other once, but I wonder about that now. This relationship has changed and I don't like it at all!" Marie says as she turns to Frank. "I'm not bad looking for a woman my age, but you don't see me that way. I'm not sure how you think that you're more attractive than I am. You drive me crazy, Frank!"
"You drive me crazy too, Marie! You are crazy! I didn't expect you not to change, but you changed a lot. I wasn't prepared for it. Don't ask me why because I couldn't possibly tell you." Frank says as he slumps into a kitchen chair.
"Do you want to change our relationship, Frank? We don't know how long we're going to have left. Please can we change this Frank?" Marie asks as she dares to put her hand on Frank's shoulder.
"If you want to change things, Marie, then we'll try because despite everything I do still love you." Frank says as he gently grabs Marie's wrist and pulls her around to stand in front of him. He then puts his hands on her waist and pulls her down to sit on his lap.
"Frank, what are you doing?" Marie exclaims as she lands on his lap.
"Changing our relationship. Don't start on me already. Things won't change much if you don't trust me." Frank says as he leans forward and kisses Marie.
