meaning(s)

JUAN ANTONIO

Well, now that the day is almost over, is it reasonable of me to ask you...if you would both join me in my room?

VICKY

Oh, come on. I thought we’d settled that.

CRISTINA

Vicky’s just trying to say that she’s engaged to be married that’s all.

VICKY

Uh-huh.

JUAN ANTONIO

Great. Then these are her last days of freedom.

VICKY

No. Look, I’m not free. I’m committed. You know what my theory is? And when I drink, I get brutally frank. I...I think that you’re still hurting from the failure of your marriage to Maria Elena, and you’re trying to lose yourself in empty sex.

JUAN ANTONIO

Empty sex? Do you have such a low opinion of yourself?

CRISTINA

She’s just saying that it has to have meaning for her, that’s all.

JUAN ANTONIO

I mean, the city is romantic. The night is warm and balmy. We are alive. Isn’t that meaning enough?
