so much that you wanna kill me?

that's how long it feels like we've been married, to you, about a year and a half?

um... yeah because that's how long we've been married. best year and a half of my life

yeah, it's about how there are people in this world who just can't help themselves but take extreme action when // they get bored, and-

wait, extreme action?

no, like kill.

what?

yeah! yeah! i just...

what?

Well, not exactly--but it's okay>

whoah-

yeah!

I had no idea

If you knew I was gonna kill you, you'd stay?

I think I would.

nothin

Well, I'm watching something, here., Let me watch., Shh!

yeah

Well, how do you know?

no! bill! don't // be silly

and is our like... not what you hoped and dreamed?!?

nothing!

are you okay?

yeah. i mean- it's a friday night, and look at us. we're just sitting here. you're watching something, and im reading something.

but i thought we liked reading. and watching stuff.

how long does it feel like we've been married?

how long does it fe//el like we've been married?

oh! yeah! maybe we do! so let's find it!

huh?

would you stay with me?

i- i-

Yeah, I feel like I'm languishing.

languishing?

yeah.

like what? like skydive, bungee jump, bullfight-?

because i don't wanna be bored, because being bored... we'll, it's just not good for people. do you think it's good for people?>

no-

I took a test. They had one of those tests, could you kill, a personality test, at the end of the article. and i did really well on it. or-poorly. anyway, i answered all the questions right. i have all the symptoms. and it said that i. could. kill.

oh.

well, bill: im bored

oh.

to keep us safe. from the outside

oh. sarah. i love you, sarah. sarah, please...

cause i don't think it is. cause, see, i was just reading something, too, here, actually... argh, i can't find it- but it was in an article that was written about a study i cant find it- but it was in an article that was written about a study that was done by... experts... on .... people who just can't. be bored.

oh?

and keep trying

oka//y

and never stop

oka//y

every day

oka//y

i don't think i can wait that long.

oka//y-

yeah, i need to find the fun no.

oka//y.

ever

okay.

yeah, and i don't wanna languish. i wanna have fun and do exciting things!

okay. okay, okay. honey. i think i might know what this is. you're just- i think- you know what? this is just what happens.

yeah, it's a thing, and we'll- i es just thinking: what if i was one of those people? what if when i got bored, i killed? i killed you. what would you do?

um-

feel like we've been married-yeah-to you, yeah.

um... well about a year and a half, because // that's how-

yeah. it's a tough one. cause if you stayed, i'd probably kill you, cause im bored. but if you left, you'd be a promise breaker, because we are married, and you did promise to stay with me in good times and in bad, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, and - if you left me, you'd be breaking a vow. that's a tough one. you'd kinda end up losing either way. what would you do?

um... well... i'd like to think that- a) something like this would never happen, and b)... that... id stay. because i love you, and because we'd be dealing with mental illness. and you'd need my help in dealing with that, so, yeah: i'd stay. and help you get better. help you... not be bored.

all right. then do it. fulfill, exceed, right now, go.

well i don't... feel like i know how to do that right now.

let's find the fun again! right now! you first! find the fun! go!

well, honey, you know what? i don't really feel like we've lost the fun, actually-

just.. i love you

well, i love you too! what's going on?

They call it-argh!--i can't remember what it's called, but there are people who have this thing, // and --

well, people like who?

what?? no!-wait. uh oh: it does- maybe. a little, yeah.

what do you mean?

kill. in the cases cited in the article, kill the people they love most.

what- no!

aw, that's really sweet of you bill.

what-? honey!

Kill. The theory is that that's what they'll do when they're bored: Kill.

what?

bill: i think im one of those people who kills the people they love most when they're bored, and i never ever ever ever ever thought i'd get bored with you, with ups, with things, but i did: uh oh.

what?! you're- one of those people?

i've learned to adjust my expectations. >

what?!?!?

aw

why do// you ask?

well, i just... can i ask you something?

yeah

oh, bill! baby, i was just playin! i made the whole thing up! there's no such study! no... test! people who kill the people they love most when they're bored?? people don't do things like that! and if they do- well, they're crazy! and im not crazy! i would never do something like that. im sorry! im so sorry, baby! i was just trying to wake us up, shake things up, to help us find the fun again. you gotta find the fun in a marriage or it'll fizzle.

yeah, well, that wasn't really fun for me.

oh, no no no. don't you go, bill. you're not going are you? you said you wouldn't. you just said you'd stay with me. and help me get better.

yeah, when this was all hypothetical! where did you get a gun?!

huh?

yeah- i was just reading about this somewhere- can't remember where- i'll send you the link- but.. there was a big study done recently about how after the first year/ year and a half - the honeymoon period they call it- romance and passion can fade a little, and, when that happens, couples just have to work a little harder to figure out how to rekindle whatever it is they've lost, and the best way to do that- the study said- is for them to try to find the fun again. and maybe we just need to... find the fun again.

really?

yeah.

wow! only one little year. and a half of another one, huh?

yeah. does it feel... longer to you or something?

really?

yeah. i can't imagine my life without you s//o

bill-

yeah?

nothin. bill?

yeah?

i mean-

you shouldn't have to do that! i havent had to do that! you've fufilled my expectations! exceeded them, even, and i want to fufill yours! exceed them, even!

nothin

you sure?
