"It's a big change from when we were on the bus a while back and you avoided looking at me for the whole three-hour drive, actually." "I didn't refuse to look at ya." "I seem to remember you looking out the window a lot." "OK, maybe I did a bit." "Then you kissed me in front of all your mates." "Fuck it." "Did they say anything about it?" "Actually, Charlene had a lot to say about it." "Apparently I'm making a show of meself." "(SCOFFS)" "Fuck her." "She's probably just worried about you." "Charlene does not give a fuck about me, she's just worried that I'll ruin her precious wedding'." "Is that why you're asking me to go?" "What?" "To piss her off?" "No." "I don't care what Charlene thinks." "Mary, you're obsessed with what she thinks." " No, I'm not." " Yeah, you are." "I don't want to be used." "What the fuck does that mean?" "Whoa, don't curse at me." "I just don't want you usin' me to get even with Charlene." "I'm not." "OK." "Will I get us some drinks?"

"And running away like that is fucking ridiculous." "That's what children do and I'm not a child." "Look, I think we should just call it quits on this." "I hope everything goes well for you, Mary, and that you figure it all out." "And there's no need to call me back, I'd honestly prefer it if you didn't." "OK." "Bye." " CHARLENE:" "Hey." " All right?" "What are you doing here?" "Came to see you." "So, what's the story with your girlfriend?" "What?" "She cancelled on me this morning." "I don't know." "And she's not my girlfriend."
