I can't talk anymore. I got to go.
I've got to see what Wayne can do today. I love you.
Don't say it if you don't mean it.
I know we're not finished with this, I know we're not, but
what you need to know is: I love you.
Okay. Okay.
I do.
Okay!
You do this. You always do this.
Do what?
What you did.
Did I say I didn't believe you? I heard what you said.
Why are you always so angry!
I'm not.
You're not angry?
I'm not always so angry. But you're always so cool. You're always
so goddamned cool! It's like you're always a million miles away.
I just disappoint you all the time. Nancy, this has got to stop.
Fine.
I’ve got to go.
Fine.
See? You did it again.
Did what?
That.
What?
That.
That?
That! What you always do. Nancy, I’ve got to go to work.
Listen, no matter what you say, I am here for you.
No matter what you need. No matter where you are,
Nancy, you can count on me.
I can count on you?
Yes.
Well, as I’ve said before, it doesn't add up to much.
Don’t start that again! We can’t go through all that again!
I’ve got to go to work!
Fine. Good-bye.
Oh, God! I wish you wouldn’t do that!
Do what?
No! I won’t! I’m not going over it again!
Fine. Good-bye.
