Theo: You haven't been yourself lately
11.01 pm
Rose: What makes you say that?
11.03 pm
Theo: You're...different
Rose: I've just been busy these past few days
11.04 pm
Theo: That's not it, and we both know it
11.05 pm
Rose: Then what do you think is going on?
Theo: You're hiding something from me
Rose: I'm not dignifying that with a response
11.06 pm
Rose: Why would I hide something from you? You're practically my best friend
Theo: Yeah, I guess
Theo: But I know you're hiding something, and I'm going to find out what it is
11.07 pm
Rose: Oh, I'd like to see you try
Theo: Help me out here
11.08 pm
Rose: And why should I do that?
Theo: Because I'm your best friend?
11.09 pm
Rose: Nice try
11.10 pm
Theo: It was worth a shot
Theo: But Rose, you'd tell me if something was seriously wrong, right?
11.11 pm
Theo: Like if you were terminally ill, or getting back with your ex-husband or something
Rose: Why is getting back with my ex-husband such a bad thing?
Theo: He left you once, he could very easily just do it again
11.12 pm
Rose: You have a very valid point there
11.13 pm
Theo: So I've crossed the ex-husband thing off the list
Theo: Are you terminally ill?
11.15 pm
Rose: Yes
11.16 pm
Theo: Quit kidding with me, Rose
11.17 pm
Rose: You got me there
11.18 pm
Theo: So that means that it must be something else
Rose: You want to keep on guessing?
11.19 pm
Theo: Not now, but I'm going to figure out
Theo: And when I do, I'm going to help you
11.20 pm
Rose: What if it's too late to help me?
Theo: It's never too late
11.21 pm
Rose: Maybe you're right
Theo: I am right
11.22 pm
Rose: I believe you
11.23 pm
Theo: Good
Rose: Good
