LANA Robert can I talk to you for a minute?
ROBERT Sure, what's up?
LANA Remember that conversation we had a few weeks ago About San Francisco
ROBERT Yeah what about it?
LANA I wasn't completely honest with you It's been eating at me and I don't want to lie to you anymore
ROBERT Don't scare me like that What are you talking about?
LANA You were wondering why we didn't stay in touch 4 years ago I said I didn't know But that was a lie
ROBERT I'm so confused right now
LANA So, remember how you stayed at the rehab centre for a total of 3 months And I stayed much longer
ROBERT Yeah, obviously
LANA We had no contact after you left but when my stay was over and I came back to LA, you tried to reach out
ROBERT Okay but why are you telling me stuff I already know?
LANA Because the truth is I was actively avoiding you. That's why we didn't stay in touch
ROBERT But why?
LANA Because in my twisted newly-sober mind, you were a liability
ROBERT A liability??
LANA Robert you're an addict just like me And I was terrified of relapsing so I wanted to stay away from anything that reminded me of my old life And that included you
ROBERT Okay wow Sugarcoat it, why don't you
LANA It didn't only apply to you by the way I cut out every single person that related to my old lifestyle
ROBERT Gee thanks Makes me feel much better
LANA You know it's not personal Robert I didn't want to compromise my sobriety
ROBERT You cut me out of your life because I'm an addict, sounds pretty personal to me It amazes me how you don't find that the slightest bit ironic either
LANA I'm sorry but I had JUST gotten sober and I was desperate to get custody of my son You were way too unstable for me
ROBERT Funny considering I've been sober three times longer than you have...
LANA You had just gotten over a relapse Robert What was I supposed to think?
ROBERT Oh I don't know MAYBE you could've given me the benefit of the doubt? Just like I did for you when you joined Marvel last year
LANA I just wanted to be honest Please don't be mad at me
ROBERT You're making that very hard right now
LANA I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you 😞
ROBERT You've insulted me 10 different ways and I'm supposed to not be offended?
LANA It's a 4 year old lie Robert!
ROBERT It's NOT a 4 year old lie Because you'd do it all over again if it came down to it You know what, you really are incredible When I gave up the drugs years ago I promised myself never to associate with people who would hold my addiction against me Of all the people on this fucking planet I didn't think you'd be the one to do it But it all makes sense now I guess you don't even realize it but somewhere in the back of your mind, you are still holding my addiction against me
LANA Don't you dare put words in my mouth That is NOT true
ROBERT It is and you know it That's why you've always kept a comfortable distance
LANA A comfortable distance?? What the hell are you talking about? I spend every waking moment with you, I even introduced you to my son!
ROBERT Yeah but it's never gonna be more than that, is it? Come on, there's no need to hide behind our thumbs about what's really happening here You know it and I know it The whole fucking internet knows it
LANA I really don't know what to tell you Robert
ROBERT You know it's even more ironic considering how desperate you are to keep your alcoholism a secret You've always been scared of people holding it against you And yet that's exactly what you're doing to me You really have a crooked way of thinking you know that?
LANA I never intended for it come across like that Robert you know I think the world of you
ROBERT Whatever I'm glad I know how you really feel now Saves me from being an idiot much longer
LANA No please wait Let's just talk about this I'm so sorry
