Quotes 

• Jessica : [Opening Lines] 

  [after Martin receives a fax showing American Dreamz as the top rated show] 

  Jessica : How are the numbers?

  Martin Tweed : Incredible.

  [chuckles] 

  Martin Tweed : Absolutely incredible.

  Jessica : Congratulations.

  [pause] 

  Jessica : I'm leaving you.

  [long pause] 

  Jessica : Did you hear what I said? I'm leaving you.

  Martin Tweed : [still staring at the fax]  Yeah, I heard. Yeah, Yeah

  Jessica : I'm not kidding.

  Martin Tweed : I know.

  [turns and walks toward her] 

  Martin Tweed : Look, I think it's an excellent decision on your part.

  Jessica : You do?

  Martin Tweed : You're a fantastic person and the last year's been really great. You're beautiful. The sex has been wonderful. You're kind and supportive. You wait for me with dinner when I work late: you're amazing. And it's driving me out of my *fucking* mind.

  [she stares in disbelief] 

  Martin Tweed : You know, with numbers like this, this should be the happiest day of my life and instead i have to worry about whether I make *you* happy all the time!

  [pause, her lip quivers] 

  Martin Tweed : Jessica, sweetheart, you make me feel like being a better person. And I'm not a better person. I'm me.

  Jessica : [teary-eyed as she walks away]  I feel sorry for you.

  Martin Tweed : Don't. I certainly don't. In fact, I envy myself deeply.
