Well, hon, I can't pretend but that your missive hasn't come as something of a body blow. I thought, see, that things were working out just fine between us. I'm a pretty simple guy underneath it all. I thought you understood that.
Those dime-store novel values of mine, they're real to me. Only I don't see them as dime-store, I see them as American. I thought you were with me when I talked about getting away from all the fakery of our parents' life-style. Listen, hon, when I talked about raising two kids behind a white picket fence I wasn't fooling!
I've passed your letter to Epstein. You know I was resisting his suggestion that we draw up a pre-marital agreement, but now I'm not so sure.
And maybe I need to say it now, just so there's no misunderstanding later. Sweetheart, I sure do hate that goddam pooch of yours!
