Have Dreams, Will Travel2007

Cassie:
The real question is why you're putting it in such a negative context. Yes, I am withdrawing somewhat, but is that a sin?

Ben:
Great. Take a major problem, even though you won't tell me what it is, and turn it into one of your brainy discussions.

Cassie:
Oh. Is that your opinion? You did finish seventh grade, so I want to give it the way it deserves.

Ben:
And you graduated from Harvard, right?

Cassie:
[sitting up a little straighter and looking angry] Okay, cowboy. Wanna play?

Ben:
[also sitting up straighter] I'm not exactly sure what we're playing here, but yeah, let's go.

Cassie:
It's all about introspection. And concepts which you are no doubt unable to digest at this point in your narrow-minded and sheltered pathetic life! [turns away and folds her arms]

Ben:
[pause] Go screw yourself.

[turns off light]

Cassie:
[after small pause] Ben?

Ben:
What?

Cassie:
[leaning in a little closer] Are you mad at me?

Ben:
Yeah.

Cassie:
Well, I don't like it.

Ben:
Then start talking to me like a real person.

Cassie:
[remorsefully] I told you I was flawed when we met.

Ben:
Cass, everybody's flawed. Just in different ways.

Cassie:
[cuddles up next to Ben] I'm so sorry.

Ben:
[kisses the top of her head] It's okay.
