ALBERT You knew exactly what to do. You just didn’t do it. EVA I was very torn. ALBERT And while you were being torn she was poisoning our relationship? Poisoning your perception of me? EVA Yes. ALBERT And why would you want that? EVA I don’t know! I guess I was trying to protect myself. You know, we’ve both been married before, and we know how things can turn out. ALBERT And what about us? You didn’t protect us. EVA I didn’t protect us. But it’s not poisoned Albert, I still really want us to keep seeing each other.
