October (a month later). Dan waits in a restaurant. Anna arrives, late and flustered. Conversation reveals that Anna had been meeting with Larry to sign divorce papers, and that they met in this particular restaurant. Dan goes to the washroom.

While he’s gone, Larry appears: the narrative has jumped back in time to his arrival at the restaurant. At first he refuses to sign, begging Anna to come back to him. When she refuses, he says he’ll sign if Anna will have sex with him one last time. When she refuses, he speaks to her aggressively, calls her a whore, and then says he can’t live without her. He goes to the bar to get drinks.
