Ok this is how I have been feeling for the last couple of days, check it out and tell me what you think. Its a godo description of what is happening in my life, or so I think, ro should I even say....hope?

P.S. This is from the movie swingers, kind of a good story about my life.

The PHONE RINGS.

Mike rushes to get it, then forces himself to wait another
ring and a half exactly.

MIKE
Hello?

FEMALE VOICE
Hi Michael.

MIKE
Michelle?

MICHELLE
How's it going? It's been a while...

MIKE
... Six months.

MICHELLE
How are you doing?

MIKE
Fine... I guess. You?

MICHELLE
Good.
(pause)
I think about things.

MIKE
Yeah?

MICHELLE
Yeah.

MIKE
What kind of things?

MICHELLE
You know, us.

MIKE
I thought you met someone else.

MICHELLE
It doesn't matter. I think about you
every day.

MIKE
Really?

MICHELLE
I miss you, Mike.

MIKE
Why didn't you call?

MICHELLE
I couldn't. Do you know how hard it's
been not to call you? I pick up the
phone every night. Whenever that
commercial comes on...

MIKE
... the Micheline commercial...

MICHELLE
... Yeah, with the baby in the tire. One
time I started to cry right in front of
Pierre...

MIKE
Pierre... That's his name? Pierre? Is
he French?

MICHELLE
No, he's not... Listen I don't want to
talk about him. That's a whole other
headache. I called because I heard you
might be moving back to Queens...

The BEEP of Mike's CALL WAITING.

MIKE
Hang on. Let me get rid of this call.

He clicks to the OTHER LINE.

MIKE
Hello?

LORRAINE
Hi, Mike?

MIKE
Lorraine?

LORRAINE
Are you on the other line?

MIKE
Yeah, hold on.

LORRAINE
I can call back...

MIKE
No, no. Hold on.

He clicks back to the OTHER LINE.

MIKE
Hi.

MICHELLE
I heard you might be moving back...

MIKE
Yeah, uh, I don't think that's gonna be
happening any time soon... Listen, can
I call you right back? I gotta take this
call...

MICHELLE
I'm not home and going out of town
tomorrow for a week. Can't you talk for
five more minutes?

MIKE
I really want to catch up with you, but
I've gotta take this call. They're
holding. I'll talk with you when you get
back in town. Bye.

MICHELLE
Goodbye. I lov.....(click)

Mike SWITCHES LINES, cutting Michelle off mid-sentence.

MIKE
Hi. Sorry about that.

LORRAINE
You didn't have to get off the other
line. I would've called you back.

MIKE
That's okay. I wanted to talk to you.
