Look at you. You look like you've been sleeping in a ditch. Rick called me, said you've stopped doing anything. Stopped cooking, stopped cleaning, stopped being a wife. What do you have to say for yourself? I don't know. You don't know. Of Of course you don't.
I told Rick when he brought you home. I said, that girl has nothing. Her parents died and left her nothing. No family, no money, no spine.
You're marrying a ghost. But he was young and stupid and thought you were pretty. You're just a burden, a dead weight. Two kids and a wife who can't even keep house.
What does he get out of this? Tell me. You're right. He doesn't get anything from me. You agree with me? I agree that I'm not the wife he needs.
I never was. I'll tell him. Maybe it's time he stopped wasting his life on you. Call me the day after the decree is signed.
I'll have the envelope ready. Thanks for watching!
