I don’t want to.

2
You have to.

1
Why?

2
You said you would.

1
So?

2
So you have to.

1
That doesn’t make sense.

2
You don’t want to go against your word.

1
Who cares about my word?

2
You should.

(Beat.)

1
Is that the only reason I should?

2
No.

1
What else then?

2
You tell me.

(Beat.)

1
I have no idea.

2
Then why did you say you’d do it?

(Beat.)

1
I don’t remember.

2
You must’ve had a good idea at the time.

1
Maybe.

2
Why else would you have said you would?

1
I don’t know.

2
Exactly.

(Pause.)

2
So?

1
What?

2
Are you going to?

(Beat.)

1
When?

2
Now.

1
I guess.

(Beat.)

2
So?

1
I will.

2
So do.

1
Alright.

(Blackout.)
