Where are the new wine glasses?

We have to celebrate! Tonight's a special night!

It is?

Senior year of college!

NICK
s
TRIP
Uh, well, you know what, I'm just going to make you a martini.

Oh God, Nick, I hope you didn't come here tonight to be entertained...
TRIP
What?
NICK
Nope
GRACE
Listen -- (interrupted)
GRACE
You don't agree? Okay, well...
NICK
yeah
TRIP
Grace, come on, it's not helping things for you to say that...
GRACE
Trip, it's okay if we disagree in front of our friend --
TRIP
We're NOT disagreeing.
TRIP
We're -- we're -- we're not disagreeing.
(NICK picks up the red wine bottle.)

(frustrated sigh) Sheejus.
TRIP
Huh, y -- you two are really getting along well tonight...
(NICK puts down the red wine bottle.)
(NICK picks up the red wine bottle.)
(NICK puts down the red wine bottle.)
GRACE
(happy but tense sigh) -- (interrupted)
(NICK picks up the red wine bottle.)
TRIP
Oh, yeah, y -- you know, I should fix you a real drink in not too long...
NICK
You should
GRACE
Maybe if I replaced it with... um...
TRIP
Do you... do you remember, Grace...
GRACE
What.
TRIP
How I proposed to you.
GRACE
Oh, God, Trip --
TRIP
Here, Nick, I'll show you.
TRIP
It was at Grace's parents' house, Christmas, senior year of college --
(NICK puts down the red wine bottle.)
GRACE
Trip, what are you doing?!
TRIP
I got on one knee, in front of everybody, and --
GRACE
Stop it, Trip!
TRIP
I pulled out a diamond ring --
NICK
What the I don't even
GRACE
Trip!
TRIP
And I said, Grace, will you marry me?
TRIP
Heh, is -- is that romantic or what?!
NICK
You're a fag
TRIP
Nick, yes? Very romantic?
NICK
yeah
TRIP
Oh, um, well...
GRACE
(frustrated sigh) Nick, I'm sorry you have to see this --
TRIP
Grace, I'm just kidding around, I mean I --
TRIP
I just wanted to show our friend --
GRACE
No, Trip, no, it's embarrassing, okay? (little sigh)
GRACE
God.
TRIP
Look, mmm... mmm... look I'm sorry...
GRACE
I don't know what's gotten into him.
GRACE
(clears throat)
NICK
I love you guys
GRACE
You know, ever since we got married, I can't help it, I'm forever buying new furniture and redecorating,
GRACE
I -- I really enjoy it --
TRIP
Yeah, it's in your blood, you grew up with this stuff.
NICK
Go for it
GRACE
Nick, now be honest with me, agree that this room just does not work!
TRIP
Grace, come on, what are you talking about? -- (interrupted)
NICK
Yeah
TRIP
No, no no no no no, you've got to understand, Grace loves expensive furniture, she was totally spoiled growing up,
TRIP
you should see the inside of her parents house.
GRACE
So, about my decorating...
NICK
I know
GRACE
All day at work I design ads for stylish objects, like this armoire,
GRACE
and then I think, I want to design it into my apartment --
TRIP
I love it, this is a really exclusive armoire, very few people own this armoire!
GRACE
but... I don't know what I was thinking, this is a monstrosity!
TRIP
Oh come on! Jesus why can't you just be happy with this? This is fine!
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
NICK
It's fine
GRACE
Really?
TRIP
Well, well, I was right Grace, you're the only one unhappy with your decorating --
GRACE
Trip, I don't care what you say, this room isn't working... Decorating is just not what I should --
TRIP
Grace, you're good at it, you're so good at it!
TRIP
It's just like your job, you design great magazine ads!
TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!
TRIP
Your... goddamn decorating...
TRIP
You're never satisfied with anything! You're never happy, never ever satisfied -- (interrupted)
NICK
You're an idiot trip
TRIP
Hey, no, it's just going to make this whole thing even worse if you keep criticizing me!
GRACE
(impatient sigh) Nick, can you believe this?
NICK
Please your woman
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
TRIP
Oh, yeah, you...
TRIP
I know what you're about to say...
TRIP
You've been criticizing me ever since you got here!
GRACE
You're so good at it... So good at it...
GRACE
I'm stifled, Trip! Artistically! I need my life to have more feeling! Can't you see that?
TRIP
Oh, Christ...!
TRIP
Nick, where are you going? Don't hide in the kitchen, we need you out here!
NICK
Why?
TRIP
Okay, you know what, Nick,
TRIP
I'm going to ask you something.
GRACE
Trip --
TRIP
Grace, let me ask our guest a question.
TRIP
Nick, yes or no...
TRIP
Isn't marriage supposed to be the most important thing in your life?
GRACE
What...?!
NICK
yes
GRACE
Oh, okay... fine...
GRACE
There's no passion in our marriage, Trip, no... beauty... no anything! It's completely and utterly devoid of everything!
TRIP
Oh, come on...!
TRIP
Uhh! Yeah, go on, get away from me!
TRIP
I can't frigging take this!
NICK
You should kill her
TRIP
What the... goddammit!
NICK
Do it
TRIP
uhh!
NICK
Kill her
TRIP
Nick, I can't believe this is happening...!
NICK
I'm sorry
TRIP
uhh...
TRIP
Look, you -- you probably want to get out of here...
(NICK hugs trip.)
TRIP
Hey, hey -- hey, no, I -- I don't...
GRACE
What, I can't hear you, are you talking to me?
TRIP
No!
(NICK comforts trip.)
GRACE
Nick, -- (interrupted)
TRIP
No, uhh... Nick, we just need to get this all under control, that's what we need...
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... Nick, uhh...
NICK
Wow trip she hates you
TRIP
Ah!
GRACE
What...? Are you trying to say... I might not love Trip?
TRIP
What?!
NICK
no
GRACE
Oh, god, I -- (interrupted)
TRIP
No?
GRACE
Oh, God, well at least you're taking it back, I -- I think...
GRACE
Uhh...
NICK
yeag
GRACE
Uhh...
GRACE
Oh God... Nick, what should I do... I don't know what to do...
NICK
Love him
GRACE
No, wait, I can't... I need a minute to... uhh...
TRIP
Let's keep the focus on us, not just one person.
GRACE
Nick, 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)
NICK
What?
GRACE
Uhh...! God...!
TRIP
Let's keep talking about us both, not just one of us.
GRACE
You know what's so annoying, is when you pretend to be all 'romantic'!
TRIP
What...?
GRACE
Trip, it is such an act!
TRIP
Oh my God... Nick, what... uhh...
(NICK sits on the couch.)
NICK
I think its sweet
GRACE
Trip, can't you see, it's the way you speak, the way you talk to me...!
TRIP
What, I'm not allowed to be angry?
(NICK gets up from the couch.)
GRACE
You tell me what to do, you don't listen.
TRIP
Nick, I'm not telling her what to do, I'm trying to help her!
(NICK kisses grace.)
TRIP
You know what, Nick, that's it, you need to leave.
NICK
Faggot
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP
We'll be fine -- you should just go.
(Trip closes the front door.)
NICK
You suck dick I hate you both
(NICK points to the elevator button.)

GRACE
Trip, when are you going to get rid of this?
TRIP
What, Grace... this?
GRACE
Yes, you know how I feel about it --
TRIP
I know I know I'll do it right now, alright?!

TRIP
Ha ha ha!

Wow, it's really really great to see you.
TRIP
Well come on in!
KEITH
WHERE'S GRACE?
TRIP
Uh, it'll be just a sec while I go get Grace...
TRIP
(unintelligable arguing)
(KEITH picks up the red wine bottle.)
TRIP
(unintelligable arguing)
GRACE
No, no, here we are!
GRACE
Keith,
GRACE
Hi! How are you? Oh it's so nice to see you, it feels like it's been forever!
(KEITH puts down the red wine bottle.)
TRIP
Yeah, how -- how are you doing? -- (interrupted)
GRACE
Uh, I just asked him that...
TRIP
I can ask too!
KEITH
Good
GRACE
Aw, ha ha ha!
GRACE
And I have to say, you look great.
GRACE
Make yourself at home, come on in!
KEITH
Thank you
TRIP
Whoops, I need to go close the door.
TRIP
I'm gonna fix us some drinks.
(Trip closes the front door.)
TRIP
Good news, I just fully loaded the bar, with the real quality stuff... only the best for my guests.
KEITH
Thank you
TRIP
Y -- yeah, yeah, time for a drink. -- (interrupted)
TRIP
How about a martini?
TRIP
Grace's dad taught me how to make these, it's a really classy drink.
KEITH
Yeah
TRIP
Perfect!
GRACE
No no,
GRACE
Keith, how about something simple, like a nice glass of chardonnay?
TRIP
Oh come on...
KEITH
Ok
GRACE
Good, okay!
TRIP
No no, that's fine, that's fine...
TRIP
I keep my bar fully stocked with the best money can buy, so we can always do it another time.
TRIP
Grace, I know what you want, but I'll ask anyway... what would you like to drink?
GRACE
I'm happy to just have what our guest is having.
TRIP
Great.
TRIP
Heh heh, Keith, seeing you brings back good memories, you know?
GRACE
Yes, it does. H-mmm (happy smile sound)
TRIP
Here Grace, yours is ready.
GRACE
Thank you.
TRIP
Hey, I just realized something.
GRACE
What...
TRIP
We have to celebrate! Tonight's a special night!
GRACE
What do you mean?
TRIP
Keith, remember, it was almost exactly ten years ago, tonight, that you introduced us.
TRIP
Senior year of college!
KEITH
yeah
GRACE
Oh... geez... -- (interrupted)
TRIP
We really want to thank you for years and years of...
GRACE
Pain.
TRIP
Heh heh heh... Agony.
GRACE
Love.
TRIP
Uh, yeah, love, yeah, love.
TRIP
This is yours.
GRACE
It tastes good.
(KEITH picks up a player's drink.)
GRACE
Well... it didn't take long for you two to... bond, or whatever...
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
TRIP
(little sigh)
TRIP
Ah, Keith, I'm sorry, you didn't come here to hear this...
GRACE
What?
GRACE
Trip, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing in front of our friend --
TRIP
Disagreeing?! We're NOT disagreeing.
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
TRIP
We're not.
TRIP
Oh, Keith, I thought you might like this photo I just put up from our recent trip to Italy.
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
(Grace sips her Grace's drink.)
GRACE
Uhh, it's a beautiful picture of the Italian countryside, of course he'll like it!
TRIP
Grace, I know you don't like it, but our friend might.
GRACE
(short petulant sigh)
KEITH
I love it
TRIP
Oh! Ha ha, ha ha, yeah --
GRACE
Keith, careful, too many compliments can go to Trip's head...
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
TRIP
(clears throat)
TRIP
Keith, Come take look at this!
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
GRACE
God, this evening -- (interrupted)
GRACE
By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like.
TRIP
Um... uhh, Now, -- (interrupted)
GRACE
Keith, this is making you uncomfortable. See Trip, was it really worth it to fly us all the way to Italy so you could take that inane picture?
(KEITH sips his player's drink.)
TRIP
Grace...!
(KEITH puts down a player's drink.)
GRACE
(little sigh) I'll take the picture down later tonight before I go to bed.
TRIP
(short petulant sigh)
(KEITH sits on the couch.)
TRIP
Keith, this trip to Italy was meant to be our second honeymoon.
(KEITH gets up from the couch.)
GRACE
Oh, was that what it was? Huh, I'm always the last to know.
(KEITH picks up a player's drink.)
TRIP
Grace, I wanted us to spend some time together...!
(KEITH puts down a player's drink.)
GRACE
Trip thinks carting me off to Europe will, how did you put it, thaw me out a little bit?
TRIP
uhh...
GRACE
Alright, good, maybe you're on my side tonight after all, ha ha.
GRACE
You know, ever since we got married, I can't help it, I'm forever buying new furniture and redecorating,
GRACE
I -- I really enjoy it --
KEITH
yeah
TRIP
No, no no no no no, you've got to understand, Grace loves expensive furniture, she was totally spoiled growing up,
(Trip sips his Trip's drink.)
TRIP
you should see the inside of her parents house.
GRACE
So I normally like redecorating...
GRACE
Keith, now be honest with me, agree that this room just does not work!
TRIP
Grace, come on, what are you talking about?
KEITH
it looks fine
TRIP
Ah, right, right, Keith, of course you like it!
TRIP
See Grace you have no reason to complain -- there's just nothing to complain about.
GRACE
(annoyed sigh)
KEITH
I don't know
GRACE
(little -- (interrupted)
GRACE
Uh, yes, but it doesn't go in this room, right?
TRIP
(little impatient sigh)
KEITH
maybe
GRACE
Really?
TRIP
Well, well, I was right Grace, you're the only one unhappy with your decorating --
GRACE
Trip, I don't care what you say, this room isn't working... Decorating is just not what I should --
(KEITH picks up a player's drink.)
TRIP
Grace, you're good at it, you're so good at it!
(KEITH puts down a player's drink.)
TRIP
It's just like your job, you design great magazine ads!
TRIP
Ahh, this is bullshit!
GRACE
Ahh, no, you're full of shit!
GRACE
Thaw me out...
GRACE
Trip, you think you're so romantic... but no you're trying to manipulate me!
KEITH
I want another drink
TRIP
(little impatient -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Keith, no, I'm not fixing you a drink right now!
TRIP
Goddamn italy...
TRIP
I try to reach out to you, I try to be romantic with you, but -- (interrupted)
KEITH
Why?
TRIP
Huh? What are you saying to me?
GRACE
Okay, you know what, Keith,
GRACE
I'm going to ask you something.
TRIP
Grace --
GRACE
Trip, let me ask our guest a question.
GRACE
Keith, yes or no...
GRACE
Do you think it's _wrong_ for one person in a marriage to listen _too much_ to the other?
TRIP
What?
GRACE
To trust your husband or wife too much, to rely on them too much? Is that wrong?
GRACE
Yes or no.
KEITH
no
GRACE
What...?!
GRACE
Oh, yes, that's fine... that's fine...
GRACE
Goddammit! How can I be happy when you act this way, Trip? Huh? I'm miserable!
TRIP
Oh, god...!
KEITH
I want a drink
TRIP
Uhh! Yeah, go on, get away from me!
TRIP
I can't even frigging look at you.
TRIP
What the... goddammit!
TRIP
uhh!
KEITH
I want another drink
TRIP
What are you saying? What?
GRACE
What, I can't hear you, are you talking to me?
TRIP
What's it to you?
KEITH
I WANT A DRINK!
TRIP
Keith, this is not normal, this has never happened.
KEITH
ok
GRACE
Keith, (annoyed sigh) Trip is sometimes so...
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... Keith, uhh...
(KEITH picks up the white wine bottle.)
TRIP
Keith, come on, I don't feel like fixing drinks at this moment!
(KEITH puts down the white wine bottle.)
(KEITH picks up the white wine bottle.)
(KEITH puts down the white wine bottle.)
(KEITH picks up a player's drink.)
GRACE
No let's -- let's focus on us, our relationship.
(KEITH puts down a player's drink.)
GRACE
Keith, you -- you blame me for all this, don't you?
(KEITH picks up a Trip's drink.)
(KEITH puts down a Trip's drink.)
TRIP
See, Grace, you're the one turning this into such a big issue. In fact I saved you from wasting your life as an artist.
(KEITH picks up a player's drink.)
(KEITH puts down a player's drink.)
(KEITH picks up a Trip's drink.)
(KEITH puts down a Trip's drink.)
(KEITH picks up a Grace's drink.)
(KEITH puts down a Grace's drink.)
GRACE
What? Oh my God.
GRACE
Keith, is that true, all of this is my fault? -- (interrupted)
KEITH
no
GRACE
No?
GRACE
Oh, thank God you disagree, that really helps us!
TRIP
Uhh, okay, look, if I didn't save you, I definitely helped you... And at the time, you were happy for that!
GRACE
Uhh...
TRIP
Let's keep talking about us both, not just one of us.
TRIP
No, Keith, I -- -- (interrupted)
(KEITH picks up a trinket 1.)
GRACE
All this stuff... mmm... Having all this money makes us so happy. We're so happy, aren't we Trip?
(KEITH puts down a trinket 1.)
TRIP
Jesus, what do you want! Now you're unhappy because we're too well off?
TRIP
Keith, isn't it -- isn't that ridiculous?
KEITH
no
GRACE
No?
GRACE
Keith, thank you. That helps me. Trip, see, I don't want all this stuff!
TRIP
(annoyed sigh)
TRIP
Let's keep talking about 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.
KEITH
WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?
GRACE
Why?
TRIP
Ah, you want to know more. Thank you, that helps her. Grace, you never want to go on vacation with me and your parents - so I have to plan everything!
GRACE
Uhh..
GRACE
Look, why don't we talk about us, our relationship.
GRACE
I think Trip's afraid of visiting his parents. He does everything he can to avoid seeing them.
TRIP
Afraid of my parents?! My parents are idiots.
GRACE
No, it's true...
KEITH
He is afraid of bein poor
TRIP
Yes?
GRACE
Ah, that helps him.
TRIP
What!? That's ridiculous. Why would I -- why would I be afraid of their stupid meatloafs and their tacky house and their crappy wine...?
GRACE
Let's talk some more about us, our relationship.
TRIP
You know what makes me so angry?
GRACE
What?
TRIP
How you've so conveniently forgotten how much you used to actually hate painting!
GRACE
Keith, I -- I -- uhh...!
KEITH
Listen
GRACE
No, Trip, you don't get it, I -- I -- I don't hate painting, I...
GRACE
You know, I... uhh... I really don't have anyone to talk to...
TRIP
Grace...!
GRACE
Heh, my so-called 'friends', they're just jealous of us, if you can believe that...
TRIP
Keith, -- (interrupted)
KEITH
You have me babe
TRIP
Look, quit the flirting already, I'm not going to put up with that at this point!
KEITH
ok
GRACE
Let's talk some more about Trip.
TRIP
Grace, we don't -- we don't have to do this... things are okay, we can just --
GRACE
Keith, I can't stand the pretending anymore... I can't take it!
TRIP
No, Grace, we can... I mean, come on, don't make it out to be so bad...
GRACE
Uhh...
TRIP
Keith, give me some advice here...!
GRACE
Look, why don't we talk about us, our relationship.
TRIP
You know, I can't say Grace never acts loving towards me...
TRIP
Keith, She's all over me at our goddamn parties, trying to look good in front of the guests!
KEITH
WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS
GRACE
Uhh...
GRACE
Let's keep talking about us, our relationship.
TRIP
It's so annoying... Grace, why is it that anytime I want to do something nice for you, you resist it?
GRACE
Trip...
TRIP
Like I always have to convince you?
GRACE
Keith, you know, we... uhh...
KEITH
augh?
TRIP
Why?
TRIP
Ah, thank you, just saying that helps!
GRACE
Trip, maybe if you didn't try to 'convince' me of things, I might want them more...?!
TRIP
Oh, Christ.
KEITH
listen to her
GRACE
You know what's so annoying, is when you pretend to be all 'romantic'!
TRIP
What...?
GRACE
Trip, it is such an act!
TRIP
Oh my God... Keith, what... uhh...
KEITH
augh?
GRACE
Why?
TRIP
Grace, I'm not 'acting' when I'm being romantic... God damn...!
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
KEITH
goddamn godamnit
GRACE
No, I, I -- I want us to focus on Trip.
TRIP
See, Keith, Grace will tell you she's 'angry', but the truth is, there's no reason for it!
GRACE
Don't tell me how to feel.
TRIP
Uhh, look, don't give me your touchy-feely bullshit, I can't do anything with that.
GRACE
Keith, uhh...!
(KEITH comforts grace.)
GRACE
Oh, Keith, look, I know you're trying to help, but right now we just need get this all out in the open...
TRIP
No we need -- we need to talk about us both, not just one.
GRACE
Keith, you -- you blame me for all this, don't you?
TRIP
See, I don't think you really want to be an artist. This is all just something for you to blame me for.
GRACE
What? Oh my God.
KEITH
BE HAPPY
GRACE
Keith, do you agree with that lie? -- (interrupted)
KEITH
no
TRIP
No?
GRACE
Oh, thank God you disagree, that really helps us! Uhh! Trip, how dare you say that to me! Uhh...
KEITH
why did you repeat?
GRACE
Okay, goddammit, I can't do this anymore, just stop!
GRACE
Keith, I know what you're hinting at...
GRACE
about us...
GRACE
about art...
GRACE
Do you really want the honest truth? Huh?
KEITH
yes
GRACE
Trip?
TRIP
Yes...!
GRACE
See, Keith, I've been listening carefully to what you've been saying tonight.
GRACE
You've been pushing me tonight.
GRACE
And I wonder, are -- are you really my friend...?
TRIP
Grace!
GRACE
Keith, I've got to ask you -- yes or no...
GRACE
Do you really think that...
GRACE
praising Trip...
GRACE
flirting with Trip...
GRACE
and what you said about listening too much to your spouse...
GRACE
that we'll somehow realize something about our marriage?
GRACE
Is it supposed to add up to something meaningful, or... what?
KEITH
yes
GRACE
Alright.
GRACE
Trip, I --
GRACE
I let you stop me from being an artist.
TRIP
You let me --
GRACE
I was afraid, Trip okay?
GRACE
I -- I admit it.
GRACE
I didn't know if -- if I could do it, be a real artist...
GRACE
And I've been using you as an excuse for why I didn't do it.
GRACE
uhh...
KEITH
PROGRESS!
TRIP
uhh...
TRIP
Jesus...!
GRACE
Wait, Keith, Trip, there's more...
TRIP
More?
GRACE
Trip...
GRACE
Through our whole marriage... I've let you dominate me.
TRIP
Dominate you...? What? I don't --
GRACE
As a kid my parents took care of everything, bought me whatever I wanted...
GRACE
made decisions for me.
TRIP
But Grace --
GRACE
Trip -- I've used you -- and our apartment full of expensive crap -- to hide.
GRACE
to hide.
GRACE
To avoid responsibility for myself.
TRIP
Oh, come on, don't --
GRACE
I can't avoid growing up forever, Trip.
TRIP
Jesus...
GRACE
uhh...
TRIP
Jesus...!
TRIP
Keith, I, uhh...
TRIP
This changes everything...
GRACE
Yes, it does change everything.
KEITH
it does
GRACE
I think it's over.
TRIP
Grace, w -- what --
GRACE
No!!
GRACE
It's over, Trip, don't you see that?
TRIP
Wha... y -- you just told me --
GRACE
I just told you something about us I should have said a long time ago:
GRACE
I've been using you as an excuse to not be an artist...
GRACE
And no, Keith, hold on...
GRACE
And about me...
GRACE
From the beginning, I've let you control me.
TRIP
Grace, I --
GRACE
No, Trip, this about me, and it's about us, but it's not about you...
TRIP
Not about me...? Hey, no, wait!
GRACE
Keith, I'm sorry. Thank you, though, you really helped me.
TRIP
Grace!
KEITH
I love you
TRIP
Grace!!
(Grace opens the front door.)
(Grace closes the front door.)
TRIP
Jesus Christ...
KEITH
I wasn't flirting with trip
TRIP
I should have told her that...
TRIP
I -- I could have told her that...
These were my first and second times playing, respectively.
