10.37 pm
Theo: You know it
Theo: What about you?
10.39 pm
Rose: What about me?
10.41 pm
Theo: How are you feeling?
Rose: Why?
Theo: No reason
10.42 pm
Theo: I'm just asking, it's what people do
Theo: So how are you feeling, Rose?
10.45 pm
Rose: Okay, I guess
10.47 pm
Theo: Just okay?
10.52 pm
Rose: Yes
10.53 pm
Theo: That's good enough for now
Rose: What do you mean by that?
10.59 pm
Theo: Okay is a good enough start but Rose, one day I want you to answer that you're happy, that you're excited and looking forward to something. I want you to say that you're glad I asked, and then you go on to answer the question in full detail
11.03 pm
Rose: Why would you want that?
11.05 pm
Theo: Because I want you to be happy, Rose
11.07 pm
Rose: I want you to be happy too, Theo
Rose: So how are you feeling?
11.08 pm
Theo: Oh, no. You can't turn this back around on me
Rose: And why not?
Theo: Because this is about you, not me.
11.10 pm
Rose: It should be about the both of us, I think that's only fair.
11.11 pm
Theo: I don't like this
Rose: You don't have to like it. You just have to suck it up and answer the question, just like I did
11.12 pm
Rose: So how are you feeling today, Theo?
11.13 pm
Theo: Good
Rose: Good?
Theo: Yes, good.
