[bernardreed]

ELAINE
Benjamin - are having an
affair with someone?

He freezes with his hand still on the key.

ELAINE
I'm sorry.

He turns off the engine.

ELAINE
I'm sorry.  That is not my
business.

BEN
It just happened.  It was just
this thing that happened along
with everything else.  Can you
understand that?

She nods.

ELAINE
Was she married or something?

BEN
Yes.

ELAINE
With a family?

BEN
Yes.  She had a husband and a
son.

ELAINE
Did they ever find out?

BEN
No.

ELAINE
And it's all over now.

BEN
Yes.

ELAINE
I'm glad.
