(A heated argument between a couple unfolds as they confront each other about jealousy and trust.)
ZACH:
(Chasing after Anna) Anna, would you please stop
ANNA:
Why?
ZACH:
Can’t we talk about this?
ANNA:
Oh, now you want to talk? Good! Because I have a few things to say to you, Mr Don't Blame Me!
ZACH:
Look, it wasn't my fault
ANNA:
No?
ZACH:
No
ANNA:
Oh, please!
ZACH:
Really!
ANNA:
You know what? I don't believe you! So you just go ahead and pretend that there's nothing going on between you and Miss Let Me Hang All Over You! And you know what? It's not like you were trying to pry her slimy hands off of you!
ZACH:
I tried
ANNA:
You tried? You tried? Well, Mr I Tried ... you didn't try hard enough
ZACH:
Anna, it was her, not me
ANNA:
Oh, sure Mr Innocent here! And what did you do? Huh? What did you do?
ZACH:
Nothing
ANNA:
That's right. Nothing.
ZACH:
Look, don't blame me.
ANNA:
Oh, here we go again, Mr Don't Blame Me! So, if Brian Richards put his arms around me, would that work with me? Sorry! Don't blame me!
ZACH:
No, I'd take him down
ANNA:
Is that what I should've done with Miss Flirty Pants? Take her down?
ZACH:
(Smiles) Hmm ... that would’ve been interesting to watch
ANNA:
So what were you trying to do? Make me jealous?
ZACH:
(Smiles) Were you jealous?
ANNA:
Is that what you were trying to do? Make me jealous?
ZACH:
No! Like I said, she was the one flirting with me.
ANNA:
Well, did you ever think that maybe you should remind Miss Touchy Touchy that you had a girlfriend?
ZACH:
I did.
ANNA:
And?
ZACH:
(Chuckles) She said she'd like to steal me away from you.
ANNA:
Oh, isn't that funny! So, is that what you want? For Miss Boyfriend Stealer to steal you away?
ZACH:
No.
ANNA:
Well, you sure did seem to enjoy it, Mr All Smiles
ZACH:
Look, I didn't want to be rude.
ANNA:
Well, look here, Mr Nice Guy, here's a hint ... the next time some girl puts her hands all over you, push her away!
ZACH:
(Smiles) Unless it's you, right?
ANNA:
(Crosses arms) If you're lucky
ZACH:
So, are we through fighting?
ANNA:
Just tell me the truth.
ZACH:
What?
ANNA:
Did you like her putting her hands all over you?
ZACH:
The truth?
ANNA:
The truth
ZACH:
Will you get mad?
ANNA:
Not if you tell me the truth!
ZACH:
Well, the truth is ...
ANNA:
(Slaps his arm) The truth is you did like it, didn't you?
ZACH:
I thought you weren't going to get mad.
ANNA:
What do you expect, Mr Truthful? That I'd be happy that my boyfriend of seven months, three weeks, and two days enjoyed having another girl put her hands all over him? (Mimes what the girl had done, he smiles as she does this) Oh, you're so strong! Do you work out? I love your muscles. Wow! I'm impressed! (Suddenly, she slaps him) Stop smiling
ZACH:
Wow. Why don't you ever act like that around me?
ANNA:
Because I don't have to act like that I'm your girlfriend! Seven months, three weeks and two days!
ZACH:
Well, you don't have to get so mad!
ANNA:
Well, you don't have to be so happy
ZACH:
Who's happy?
ANNA:
You are. And oh, that makes me mad!
ZACH:
You're mad that I'm happy?
ANNA:
I'm mad that you're happy when I'm mad because she was so happy to be with you and you were happy to have all the attention ... and that makes me so mad!
ZACH:
What?
ANNA:
Zach, I think we should break up.
ZACH:
What?!
ANNA:
I don't want to be with someone who can't be trusted!
ZACH:
But I didn't do anything!
ANNA:
No? Well you sure were happy about it... Mr Happy
ZACH:
You're breaking up with me because I'm happy?
ANNA:
Because you were happy with her!
ZACH:
I'm not happy with her, I'm happy with you!
ANNA:
You are?
ZACH:
Of course I am! I love you!
ANNA:
(Puts her arms around him) Oh, Zach ...
ZACH:
Come on, let’s go get something to eat, Miss Jealous!
