I don't know what you want me to say, Lilly.

[glassbox]

I want you t'tell me what the hell you want.

[ioudas]

I just want you to be happy.

[glassbox]

No, y'don't.

[ioudas]

What do you want me to do? Tell you that the man you're with now is an idiot, because he is. But, you're not going to wonder if he's just going to disappear in the middle of the night or lie to you. That's more than I can offer.

[glassbox]

He ain't an idiot. He's sweet. An' you're damn right I ain't worried he's gonna be like you.

[ioudas]

So, keep your stuff and be happy.

[glassbox]

Me bein' happy ain't your problem anymore.

[ioudas]

You don't get to make that decision.

[glassbox]

Y'mean like how I didn't get t'make a decision about us not bein' together?

[ioudas]

... It's too late to change that now.

[glassbox]

Well, that's jus' how it goddamn goes, ain't it.

[ioudas]

(a beat:) Yeah, well if you need to get smashed, you know where I live.

[glassbox]

Like hell I'm gonna get drunk 'round you.

[ioudas]

You won't let yourself do something that stupid.

[glassbox]

Don't goddamn trust myself 'round you.

[ioudas]

I could be your dirty secret, you know.

[glassbox]

Y'already were.

[ioudas]

Never told anyone we were dating?

[glassbox]

Were we datin'?

[ioudas]

I turned down a man in nothing but a trench coat and heels for you. (that's a joke, and it's in his voice but-)

Even if it was a secret, I thought we were.

[glassbox]

Didn't think y'knew how t'commit to a woman like that.

[ioudas]

I do take lovers for extended periods of time, you know.

[glassbox]

That ain't the same as datin'.

[ioudas]

I guess so.
