Leah: "Awhhh, have you missed me? Is that what you're saying?"
Jordan: "You have Leigh, don't you? Where is she"
Leah: "Ohhhh, come on. Have a little small talk first, a little chit-chat before this conversation gets all dark and depressing, hey?"
Jordan: "What do you want to talk about?"
Leah: "You really are learning to play by the rules"
Jordan: "So?"
Leah: "How have you been? It must be hard for you, I know. I'm sorry"
Jordan: "You are not sorry Leah, you are ill. You are very sick"
Leah: "What? What do you mean I'm ill? I'm perfectly fine. Always have been"
Jordan: "This is not fine. You have lost it, and you keep losing it. You don't have to do this"
Leah: "I SAID WE WERE GOING TO START WITH SMALL TALK"

Leah: "Okay?"
Jordan: "Okay..."
