(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.

[glassbox]

We weren't in love.

[ioudas]

It was just good old fashioned shagging.

[glassbox]

I still cared about you. Y'were important t'me.

[ioudas]

I know, and I'm sorry it happened this way.

[glassbox]

[ a long pause.

then, at length: ]

I guess I'm sorry too, hon.

[ioudas]

I will still be your friend, though. I'm running low these days on them.

[glassbox]

D'you wanna be friends?

I gave y'hell.

[ioudas]

You were absolutely lovely.

[glassbox]

Y'know that ain't true.

[ioudas]

I never regretted any moment of our time together.

[glassbox]

It wasn't the time we were together that was the goddamn problem.

[ioudas]

Things happen.
