1
Want to talk about it?

2
No.

1
You sure?

2
Completely.

1
Come on.

2
No.

1
Why not?

2
It’s way too depressing.

1
Maybe talking about it’ll help.

2
I doubt that.

1
Why?

2
If I’m talking about it I can’t not think about it.

1
You mean repress it.

2
Yeah.

1
Repression isn’t healthy you know.

2
Neither is being miserable.

(Beat.)

1
Touché.

2
Yeah.

(Pause.)

1
Maybe if you tell me about it I can give you some advice to try to help.

2
I doubt there’s anything you could say that would help really.

1
Maybe I could.

(Beat.)

2
I’ve never been very good at following advice.

1
Me neither.

(Beat.)

2
Who is?

1
I guess some people must be.

2
Probably.

(Pause.)

1
It’ll be okay.

2
I know.

1
Eventually.

(2 laughs.)

2
Eventually.

(Blackout.)
