Marriage is complicated and you have to work hard to make it work. At times, the road traveled can be rough and you may be lured off the path.

As such, you may find yourself deviating from the vows you took during your wedding ceremony. Doing this can lead to unexpected consequences, as depicted in . . .


Hello

Hello.
You are?
I may be.
But I’m not sure.
I wish I could be.
The opportunity turns me on, but . . .
I’m still not certain I should.
It troubles me I can’t make a decision.

Hello.
We are?
I think so.
I do like you.
Let’s not move too fast.
We can talk about it later.
I’m sure we can figure it out.
I have to go, someone is beeping in.

Hello.
You again.
Be patient, please.
My life is complicated.
Yes, I wear a ring.
I’ve been married over ten years.
I’m not sure what’s going to happen.
I told you . . . I don’t know the answer.

Hello.
What now?
It may be.
But I’m not sure.
We only met last month.
Yes, I do find you attractive.
I explained to you, we must move slowly.
I have two young children to think about.

Hello.
We are.
Yes, I agree.
I know we can.
Working together, we can find . . .
Sure, a way to make this work.
Meet, as soon as possible, but where?
Yeah, the motel coffee shop works for me.

Hello.
Sit down.
Relax, you’re shaking.
Waitress, bring some coffee.
Drink, it will calm you.
We knew this wouldn’t be easy.
Yes, I still want this to continue.
However, I can’t let my wife find out.

Hello.
But what?
Okay, I’m listening.
I know you’re confused.
But this is very complicated.
I’ve got to do it right.
Yes, our motel liaison was quite nice.
And I do have strong feelings for you.

Hello.
No answer.
The answer machine.
We need to talk.
I’m home—call me soon.
Why didn’t she answer the phone?
She said she’d be home all day.
What I have to tell her is critical.

Hello.
Four o’clock.
Yes, she’s there.
I want to talk.
Don’t cry; please control yourself.
I have something important to say.
No, it’s not about breaking up, but . . .
Let me speak, stop the tantrum and listen.

Hello.
Me again.
Don’t hang up.
Please listen to me.
I can’t leave my wife.
She found out about our relationship.
But I don’t want to lose you.
I need you—meet me at the motel.

Hello.
(Opens Door)
Who are you?
A gun! Don’t shoot.
I’m bleeding—can’t breathe.
Is it you behind the mask?
We can still be together.
Why, you’re not her—uhhh, you’re my wife.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
Hello. Hello.
Hell . . .
