[Sharon enters the house]
Sharon:
My son is engaged and my husband is in Maui with a tartlet named Cheryl.
Diane:
Oh.
Sharon:
I need a drink.
Carol:
Your 'husband'?
Diane:
You can't possibly still care about what Tom is doing.
Sharon:
I don't care. But the guy gets seasick in a swimming pool. I mean, what the hell is he doing in Maui?
Vivian:
Sounds like he's doing Cheryl in Maui.
Sharon:
Oh, please. Who gets involved in a relationship at 67? I mean, what is the point?
Vivian:
Oh, the point is to get laid. It's always the point.
Sharon:
Don't make me sick.
Carol:
Who still says, 'get laid'?
Diane:
Who still has any interest?
Vivian:
Ah, no, no, no, no, no. I am not gonna let us become those people.
Diane:
What people are you talking about?
Vivian:
You know what people. The people who stop living before they stop living.
Sharon:
I haven't had sex since my divorce, and it's been the happiest 18 years of my life.
Vivian:
What? That must be some kind of... record. I mean, what even happens to a vagina after 18 years?
Diane:
You know, I think Werner Herzog did a documentary on that.
Carol:
Yeah. It's called The Cave of Forgotten Dreams.
[Vivian, Diane, and Carol laugh]
Sharon:
Okay, will you stop it? Moving on. Let's talk about the book.
Vivian:
Oh, God. The hiking book? Really?
Carol:
Come on. I liked it! It's such a remarkable undertaking. Can you imagine?
Sharon:
No, I cannot. I don't even like walking to my mailbox.
Carol:
It's just an amazing story. I mean, so many layers. I wouldn't even know how to break it down.
Vivian:
Well, I'll break it down for you. She hikes, she lost her boot, she did heroin.
Diane:
Did you only read the back cover?
Vivian:
[gulping her wine]
I wish. I kept wanting to shout at her, 'Oh, wait ten years, honey. Dry shampoo is coming.'
Sharon:
You know, if you would ever connect with something on a more emotional level...
Vivian:
Emotional connection is highly overrated.
Carol:
You have not had an emotional connection for 40 years.
Sharon:
Wow, that must be some type of record.
Diane:
Yeah, but what happens to emotions after 40 years?
Vivian:
Okay, okay, are you guys having fun? Really?
Diane:
Oh, come on. You know we love you.
Carol:
Maybe it's time you did take a hike and try to reconnect with your own true self.
Sharon:
I'll buy you a backpack.
Vivian:
I'll tell you how to reconnect with your own true self...
[gets up]
Vivian:
and it ain't by walking alone in the desert.
