There

Her: Hi, Rob!
(silence.)
Him: What do you want?
Her: Ummmmmm, to say hello?
Him: Hello.
Her: What the fuck is your problem? This isn't easy, you know?
Him: It shouldn't be easy.
(silence.)
Her: I read your book.
Him: Good for you.
Her: I guess you showed me.
Him: If that's how you choose to see it.
Her: Is there any other way to see it?
Him: Perhaps.
(silence.)
Her: I couldn't help but laugh at that scene where you had me talking to the plant.
Him: Yeah, wasn't that a hoot?
(silence.)
Her: Look, I'm sorry. I really am. I did a lot of fucked up shit and it's taken me a long time to really get it, you know?
Him: Yeah, six years.
Her: Glad to see you're the bigger person here.
Him: What did you expect? I mean, what do you want from me? Were we supposed to make plans for sushi?
(silence.)
Her: Is there anything else you want to say to me before I go?
Him: Not really.
(silence.)
Her: Look, you can act all indifferent but I know you, better than anyone, still. (silence.) I'm sorry. It was my fault. There, I said it. Now be human. Talk to me.
(silence.)
Him: Actually, there was one more thing.

Her: What's that?
(silence.)
Him: Fuck off, Jen.
