"Half an hour goes by so fast"

- Hey, stranger.
- Oh, hey, gorgeous. Didn't see you there. Hm, you smell pretty.
- You're such a dork!
- I love it when you giggle like that. It's so cute.
- And you're so charming.
- Yes, I am.
- You're so good to me.
- Please don't say that.
- I mean it, you are. That's usually a good thing, you know.
- I don't like it when people tell me that, it never leads to anything good.
- But you are. And you should know it. People should remind you of it from time to time.
- Let's just hear it.
- Hear what?
- What you've been trying to ease your way into telling me.
- Look...
- It doesn't have to be elaborate or sensitive. Just say it.
- You already know what I have to say, please don't make this any more difficult than it already is.
- Sure. I know, don't sweat it.
- I'm not saying that I made any bad choices, I don't regret it. But I really think it's best for both of us, now.
- I'm just gonna shut up and hold any comments I may have on that...
- Don't be unfair. It's a two-way thing, you know that. You knew that.
- Right, "if one of us gets out of it, the whole thing falls apart".
- Exactly, it doesn't work like that. You knew it was coming.
- Oh, you can betcha I knew it was coming.
- I didn't mean it like that. But, come on, what do you want me to do?
- Work with me. Stay.
- You know I can't stay. It's not only for me, for you too. We have to give ourselves choices. I have to let you have them too.
- Great. I beg you, please, don't give me the "I want you to know it's not you, it's me: I just know I can do better" speech, because you're better than that.
- You never cease to amaze me.
- I know what it is, you just have this need of creating emotional distance with anyone you start to feel you could actually get close to. Or better yet, with someone that could actually get close to you.
- Don't do this. I don't want us to end things on bad terms.
- Neither do I. No, I'm serious. I don't want to make a scene and I really don't mean to be hurtful. I really think you have intimacy and closeness issues and I want to say it now before it gets awkward between us to talk about these types of things this openly.
- Right.
- You're very special to me. And I want it to stay that way.
- You're just saying that.
- Why would I say something I didn't mean?
- You just want to stay the good one. That way I get to be the bitch.
- It's not like that. You know me. Plus, I know you too, you could never be the bitch.
- Why are you so good to me? I've been nothing but awful to you.
- I guess I'm just a much bigger person than you are.
- Till you said it. Where did that come from?
- No, really. I'm so much better than you, that I feel in this case I can make an exception and go out of my way to admittedly tell you that I am, in fact, so much better.
- I can see how hard that must be for you.
- Now, now. Honey, irony doesn't suit you.
- But it perfectly matches your deceitful ways.
- I thought you said I was oh-so-good to you.
- Fuck you.
- Love you too, sweetheart.
