    DAVID: It’s pretty great, isn’t it? We’re watching the trading of skins. I love that moment when Brydon, even though hethinks of himself as a domestic man, comes on to that girl and gets rebuffed.
    CALEB: You almost want to see what would have happened.
    DAVID: The way he crawls back to his original position on the couch—it’s hard to watch.
    CALEB: He’s relieved he doesn’t have to go through with it. Did he do it because he’s not happily married?
    DAVID: To me, no. It’s because he feels pressure from Coogan to act out. Then, of course, at the end, there’s Coogan, looking forlornly at his copy of
Vanity Fair
.
    CALEB: “I’m not going to do the HBO pilot. I’ve got kids. Bye.”
    DAVID: It’s incredibly beautiful, but the first time I watched it I thought (and Laurie did, too) the ending was a little too easy. I wish they hadn’t oversold the pathos.
    CALEB: It’s almost a happy ending, even a moral ending, which I thought you were supposedly against.
    DAVID: I cry at
Friday Night Lights
.
    CALEB: Coogan chooses fatherhood. And Brydon probably feels relieved he didn’t cheat, as he returns to his wife and child.
    DAVID: I can feel Coogan’s loneliness at the end. It’s quite palpable.
    CALEB: And he realizes this. Even though his children live with his ex, he chooses them. He won’t advance his career if it means he’ll be a nonexistent father.
    DAVID: I think I’m starting to fade. I’ll see you tomorrow, Caleb.
    CALEB: Good night.

DAY 2
    CALEB: Did you and Laurie ever discuss having a second kid?
    DAVID: Yes. In what was probably not my greatest moment, I said no.
    CALEB: No?
    DAVID: I was teaching twelve months a year—four quarters at the UW plus any visiting teaching gigs that came up—to make ends meet, and had no time to write. Now all I do is think about Natalie, but those first couple of years I wasn’t hugely loving being a parent, I must admit. And, probably most importantly, Laurie and I weren’t getting along that well.
    CALEB: What’s the age difference between you and Laurie?
    DAVID: We’re the same age. She had the famously bad formulation of “We’re not getting along that great, so let’s have a second kid.” My response was “I’m pretty ambivalent
