What happened to your arm?

(Beat.)

2
Lets just say last night wasn’t a good night.

1
You get in a fight or something?

(2 laughs.)

2
You honestly think I got in a fight with someone?

1
It’s possible.

(2 laughs.)

2
I guess.

(Beat.)

1
You trip or something?

2
No, nothing like that.

1
What did happen then?

2
Nothing.

1
You can’t just mention something like that, then not explain it.

2
I just did.

1
Come on.

(Pause.)

2
I had a bit of a breakdown.

1
What’s that supposed to mean?

2
I hit my arm on something in the middle of it.

1
In the middle of what?

(Beat.)

2
Nothing.

1
No, what?

(Beat.)

2
I don’t want to talk about it.

(Beat.)

1
This is starting to sound kind of serious.

2
It’s really nothing that big.

1
It doesn’t sound too good.

(Beat.)

2
Don’t worry about it.

(Pause.)

1
Are you okay?

2
What?

1
I asked you if you’re okay.

2
Yeah, of course I’m fine.

(Beat.)

1
Okay.

(Pause.)

2
I just got really angry so I started punching the ground a little, and I hit my arm on a table. That’s it.

1
Okay.

2
I just haven’t been sleeping enough, and was in a bad mood, that’s it.

1
Okay.

(Beat.)

2
What did you think had happened?

1
It just sounded a little like…

2
Like what?

1
Like…

(Beat.)

Nevermind.

2
No, what?

(Beat.)

1
Nothing, I’m just glad to hear you’re okay.

(Beat.)

2
Okay.

(Blackout.)
