Rose: My ex-husband is a bastard

9.22 pm

Theo: So is mine

10.06 pm

Rose: You have an ex-husband?

10.32 pm

Theo: No!

Theo: I meant my ex, as in my ex-wife

11.01 pm

Rose: Sure

11.11 pm

Theo: Rose

Rose: Yes?

11.12 pm

Theo: You know what I meant

11.13 pm

Rose: I do

11.14 pm

Theo: So, tell me, how is that ex of yours a bastard?

Theo: Other than the fact that he's your ex, of course

11.16 pm

Rose: Of course

Rose: He's trying to get me to move back in with him so that he can pretend in front of his parents that we're still together and that everything is freaking rainbows and unicorns

11.21 pm

Theo: That's pretty messed up

11.22 pm

Rose: Yeah, I can't believe he told them yet

11.23 pm

Theo: Are you going to do it?

Rose: No

Theo: Do you want to do it?

11.24 pm

Rose: Honestly?

Theo: Honestly

11.25 pm

Rose: A part of me does want to do it, to have that one last chance to experience what it was like to be his wife. I used to love him, a part of me still does, and I want to help him out.

Rose: But I know I can't, for myself.

11.26 pm

Theo: Because it would hurt too much

11.27 pm

Rose: Exactly

Rose: What would you do if you were in such a situation?

11.28 pm

Theo: I don't think I'll ever be in such a situation, not with my soon to be ex-wife

Rose: But if you were

Theo: Then I would probably do the same thing you're doing

11.29 pm

Rose: And that is?

11.33 pm

Theo: Beat myself up thinking about it endlessly for days even though I know that nothing good would come out of doing it. Even though I would know that the answer is no, and that it should be no regardless of the situation, I would still consider it. And then I would probably spend the next few days thinking about it again, wondering what could have been.

11.35 pm

Rose: That's exactly what I'm doing

Rose: How did you know?

11.36 pm

Theo: Because we're in the same boat, Rose

Rose: And are we going to sink or swim?

11.37 pm

Theo: I don't know

Rose: Neither do I

11.38 pm

Theo: But Rose survived, she survived until at least 100

Rose: You're talking about a movie

Theo: It's a great movie though

Rose: It is
