- Where have you been? I waited all night for you, and you didn’t send me so much as a text letting me know you were okay.
- I know you were at work. I just wish you’d tell me when you’re gonna be late. It’s not fair to leave me in the dark like that.
- You’re telling me you couldn’t have made time to just tell me you’re okay? I know it’s Friday and you usually end up going out for drinks, but tonight I hoped you’d be home sooner.
- Why? Why? Because we haven’t talked all week, all you do is come home, eat and sleep. You barely even looked at me. Plus, when you did have a bit of time you went out bowling with that co-worker of yours.
- I don't even get why you got out with her, she's so annoying. All she ever talks about is jewelry and designer brands.
- Look, it doesn’t matter now. I just missed you. I’ve been lonely and I wanted to talk to you about my book. I had this cool idea about how… Oh, uh, right you’re tired. Wait, you’re tired? Babe… did you even listen to a word I said?
- I tell you I need attention and try my best not to be upset, and you interrupt and tell me you're tired.
- Let me tell you, I’m tired of being alone. I’m tired of my boyfriend not making any time for me. I’m tired that I’ve known you since grade school and you've been treating me like a stranger.
- I just don’t get it. What did I do wrong? Do you not love me? Am I not enough?
- Is it my dad? Has he been tough on you? Ever since you saw my parents, you haven’t been the same.
- It’s that slut at work that keeps throwing herself at you, isn’t it? The one that you went bowling with. Is that cheap whore causing a rift between us?
- If it isn't that, then what is it? Because I can't keep waiting for you to talk to me. I need answers. It's been five years since we started dating, and I won't tolerate you giving her more attention than your girlfriend.
- I know it's not just bowling, you hate bowling. I can't think of any other reason for you to go out than to spend time with that slut. I won't let you walk away from us. You're my boyfriend, so start acting like it!
- No, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear more excuses about work or money or a bigger house. I'm happy with you. I don't know why all of a sudden you want a big house and a nice car. We've never needed those things. All we've ever needed to be happy is each other
- (pause)
- I'm sorry. You just haven't been around much and I feel like I'm losing you, like each and every day we grow further apart. You've been in my life since we were kids, I just want to know what's wrong.
- Why can't you just tell me how you feel? I'm your girlfriend. We've been dating for years and you never let me in.
- No, it's not okay, we can't continue if you don't tell me how you feel. You can't ignore it and run off just because you feel stuck. You can't leave me anytime there's a problem. We’re in this together. I just wish you would trust me.
- I know how hard your job is, I know you feel as if you have no one but that's not true. I'm right here.
- No matter how bad it gets, I'll always be there for you. Even if the whole world was against us, I would never leave your side. Whether it's those bullies who used to push you off the swing or that strict teacher in high school, I stood up to them then and I'll stand for you now.
- I'm still the same girl you fell in love with, the same girl that you drove home after she drank too much, the same girl who would write your English essays and I'm the girl who's with you now.
- I appreciate how hard you work but lately, you've been pushing yourself so hard and I don't get it. We don't need the money, I just need you. I need our dates back, I need my partner back, someone I can talk to endlessly about my book or just cuddle with watching crappy movies. I miss just having you around. I want my partner back
- Now I'll hear what you have to say.
- What does my father have to do with you working more?
- What do you mean he said no? No to what?
- He didn't give you his blessing? Blessing… To marry me!? Babe, are you telling me you've been working so much to impress my father?
- Babe… You're an idiot. You ignored me to impress my dad. Last I checked it was me you want to marry, not my old man. Did you ever think about that?
- Did you ever stop and think that I might just marry you without his approval? That I'm happy to spend the rest of my life with you? That even if my father doesn't approve, you're the only guy I want. Besides, he's hated you since we first kissed. You can be sure he’ll have a front-row seat to our first kiss as husband and wife.
- Now, just because I understand and you told me, it doesn't mean I'll approve of you going out with that co-worker. I'm gonna make sure she knows your my fiance when you walk in tomorrow
- What do you mean she already knows? She helped you pick out the ring? Babe, that's so sweet. I love you, but she could help you pick out the ring if she tried. Trust me, I’ll let you know what I want.
- And right now I wanna see just how hard you can work for your fiance.
