"You're all wet. Why were you out in the rain without an umbrella or jacket? You're probably going to catch a cold!"
"I deserve it. Nothing in my life goes right anyways."
"What's the matter? Who do I need to kill?"
"Me. You were right all along. He was cheating on me! I saw him with another girl and it was probably the same one. They looked so in love, like I was the other woman. I'm so stupid!"
"Maybe they're close cousins or something?"
"From the way they were touching, I really doubt that."
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't be. This was all my fault. You should be telling me I told you so... I'm such an idiot!"
"You're not an idiot. Don't say that about yourself."
"I just get so lonely sometimes... I dropped out of college, my family disowned me, I'm so annoying that I can't even have a relationship longer than two months! I have no one!"
"You have me."
"I wonder how long that'll last..."
"As long as you want it to."
