You told him off.
Let's take a breath now.
So, you told him off.
I'm aware of that, stupid.
Alright...but you told him off.
So I wouldn't say something worse to him.
Yeah...but he wants to hear what you would've said.
Shut up.
But you just hurt him again.
Be quiet. I'm trying to breathe.
But you just hurt him again.
Go away.
Are you not listening to me? You just hurt him again.
Shut up!
Why? Are you afraid of the truth? Like you are every time he talks to you?
...Will you please just be quiet? For a moment--
Do you even realize that you're making this worse every time you do anything? When will you finally get something right?
A moment, damn you!
A moment for what? Your insecurities? Do something!
Fine! Shut up!
...So what will you do?
...Breathe. Until you go away, breathe.
I'm not going anywhere.
Then I'll be breathing for a long time, won't I?
You hurt him.
I'm aware.
You hurt him again.
Indeed.
You keep hurting him.
Yes.
You need to do something.
True.
You keep messing up everything.
Also true.
So do something.
What?
Stop hurting him.
Shush.
Stop hurting him.
...
Stop hurting him.
...
Stop hurting him.
