. To have a "lock on" a particular time is to dominate it. "Lousy" is a great word for bad, or more specifically, of poor quality. "Game shows" are those TV shows in which people compete for prizes. I’m thinking of doing a homosexual soap opera. "The Dykes." "Soap operas" are those TV shows that air during the day that deal with the tragic and complicated lives of common people. A "dyke" is a crude word for a female homosexual, or lesbian. "The heart rendering saga of a woman hopelessly in love with her husband’s mistress." If a story is "heart rendering," it is deeply emotional and most likely very sad or tragic. A "saga" is an interesting word for a long story or adventure. A man’s "mistress" is a woman with whom he has a sexual relationship, often in exchange for financial support. I thought it would...blow over in a week. Just a menopausal infatuation. If something "blows over," it dies out or weakens. "Menopause" refers to that time in life when women lose their ability to have children (starting around 50). An "infatuation" is a sexual or emotional obsession with another person. After all the senseless pain we have inflicted on each other, I’ll be damned if I’ll stand here and let you tell me you’re in love with somebody else! "To inflict" pain on another person is to force it on them. "I'll be damned if…" is a curious way of saying "I will not accept…" This isn’t some broad that you picked up after three belts of booze. A "broad" is a silly slang word for a woman. "To pick up" women (or men) is to meet and talk with them, often at a place like a bar, in order to later establish a romantic or sexual relationship. "Booze" is liquor, although "belts of booze" is rarely if ever used. Your last roar of passion before you settle into your emeritus years. A lion "roars," and a "roar of passion" is a poetic expression for a great explosion of sexual desire. "Emeritus" is the honorary title given to a professor at a University who has retired after teaching many years. Is that it? She gets the winter passion and I get the dotage. A powerful line! "Dotage" is the condition of being old and weak. I won’t give you up easily, Max. In this case, to "give up" a person is to let them leave in order to be with somebody else. She’s television generation; She learned life from Bugs Bunny. The great cartoon rabbit (and a major influence on my own life). She’s very carefully devised a number of scenarios for all of us to play. "To devise" is to plan or invent, and a "scenario" is a possible story for a movie or play. Here we are going through the obligatory Act 2--- "Scorned wife throws peccant husband out" scene. "Obligatory" is another word for required. "Scorned" means filled with anger and contempt, though the more common word is scornful.
