Anah: It’s almost ten pm and I haven’t heard from you all day…
Anah: And I didn’t get my clue.
Anah: Is everything ok? Are you ok?
Anah: Are you ignoring me?
Matt: I’m not ignoring you.
Anah: Then what happened today? Where have you been?
Matt: Didn’t feel like talking, that’s all.
Anah: But you always feel like talking.
Matt: Not today, it seems.
Anah: What’s different about today?
Matt: Nothing.
Anah: Then I don’t understand.
Matt: I speak when I have something to say.
Anah: What’s all this about?
Matt: Nothing.
Anah: Then where’s it coming from?
Matt: Just drop it, Anah.
Anah: No, I won’t ‘drop it.’ Tell me what’s going on in your head!
Matt: NOTHING.
Anah: Obviously there’s something wrong.
Matt: And obviously I don’t want to talk about it, so just DROP IT!
Anah: You’re being unreasonable.
Matt: And you’re just annoying me.
Anah: Am I? Well, sorry for actually caring about you.
Matt: Whatever.
Anah: Look, I have no idea what has gotten into you, but you’re being a… a…
Matt: A what?
Anah: You’re being a jerk.
Matt: I’m the jerk?
Anah: Well, it’s not me, is it?!
