“What did you think?”
“I need a drink.”
“Didn’t you like it? I thought it was GREAT!”
“The first part, the part where Carrie gets entirely dropped on her ass by the man she loves, that was just fine.”
“No! That was awful!”
“What’s awful is that they make it look like everything ties up so nicely at the end. Motherfuckers.”
“Two cosmopolitans, please.”

“Hi.”
“Hey.”
“Um…how have you been?”
“Well, in the past seven days I’ve lost my dog, my cat’s been diagnosed with a bowel disease, you basically forced me to break up with you, and I probably lost my tutoring gig. I figure that later today I’ll wreck my car on the way home from work after I lose my job and find out that my house has been firebombed.”
“Huh.”
“Yeah. You?”
“Not good either.”

“I kissed somebody else.”
“When?”
“Saturday night.”
“Who?”
“That doesn’t matter. You don’t know her. I don’t know her.”
“Whatever.”
“What?”
“I don’t give a shit. I kissed someone else too.”
“YOU WHAT?!”
“So? You did it.”
“HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?! WHEN?”
“Sunday.”
“I can’t believe you did that.”
“You had completely abandoned and betrayed me. Just because you didn’t actually break up with me by then – since you wouldn’t even talk to me – doesn’t mean I had to consider myself bound to you.”
“My phone could have been broken!”
“I had to hunt you down at work on Sunday to get you to talk to me. Your phone was NOT broken.”
“I can’t believe you did that.”
“I can’t believe that all my tears, all the pain you caused me, all the heartbreak you saw me going through – none of it mattered to you enough to make you look at what you put me through and try and make anything better. What finally gets your attention is a big blow to YOUR ego. And I’m not saying that what I did was right – I know it wasn’t – but if that’s what it took to wake you up to what you’re doing, then I guess I’m not really sorry I did it. Just sorry that it had to come to this.”
“Well, it’s pretty obvious you don’t even want to be with me.”
“Your behavior this week- even without kissing anyone – made it obvious that you don’t care enough to be with me. So no, I don’t want to be with you like that. You did again exactly what you saw rip my heart out last time. And you cannot treat people like that.”
“You can’t just go kissing other guys!”
“Shut up about me and defend yourself for a minute.”
Silence.
